"THE EVE? CHINESE HOMELIFE. Much More Cleaniy Than “'1: [Save , Led to Suppose. Sociability does not exist amour .., the upper ciasses of China as in America 01' England. Their societies are formed for political purposes, and when a banquet is given it is general- ly with an object. A dinner given merely to enjoy the pleasure of enter— taining 'one‘s friends is a rare, if not nonloccurring, Spectacle. The dishes at these banquets are frequently cost- ly, and always palatable. There is :1 false impression abroad that the Chi- nese live on all sorts of filthy and, to us, disgusting, dishes. Their style of cooking is different-from, ours, but the Chinese gentleman eats nothing that the American gentleman will not eat. One thing in their cookery should 1 be mentioned: that is, their universal use of the “hsiang yu,” or sesame oil. VVh-at the olivé’oil is to the French- man, the"‘h-siang yu,” or fragrant oil. is to thc Chinaman. Its taste, at first peculiar, soon becomes pleasant, and to- -day I prefer it to either 1a1d 01 01- ive oil in the preparation of food. Al- though it is alwa ays given for a pur- pose, the host’s manners are those of perfect hospitality. He entreats you to “eat this,” “taste that ” and so forth, and with his own ivory chop- sticks, fresh from his mouth, will se- lect an especially dainty bit from the bowl under consideration and deposit it in your little saucer. Wine of sev- eral varieties is served during the ban- quet. At the close, instead of finger bowls, a napkin wrung out of boiling water is presented each guest, and he proceeds to bathe his face, hands and head before adjourning to the “mu hang" for his pipe of opium or tobac- ' co, as his habit is. Cigarettes are very popular. Although cards and chess doubtless originated in China, the ,up- per classes do not indulge much in ‘ either pastime. Some of the gentle- men, and occasionally a. lady, play the banjo 01 guitar: but music, such as it is, is usually the profession of the blind, the actor 01 the hailot. I —_——_——~———.— 1... His Excessive Politeness. The late General Si1 Heni y Ponson- by, for many years Queen V'ic'to1ia’s private secreta1y was noted f01 his politeness, and whenever an artiste performed. at Court he always tele- graphed the following day to inquire after the perfOrmer‘s health. If a com- plete troupe performed the general employed a formula always the same, which included the various members of the company. Some time ago Rogers Prat was sent for to Court to exhibit his educated geese before Queen Vic- toria‘s grandchildren. The day follow- ing the artiste received the traditional telegram from General Ponsonby, written in the following immutable terms—~"Her Gracious Majesty would be delighted to know if the members of your troupe are well, and if they have had an agreeable journey. For my own part, I beg you to convey to them the expression of my esteem.” Evidently Mixed Relationship. I u The Moultrie (Ga.)
