It would be bard to make an accurate cs- imate of the umber of weapons carried in this city, but one in ten, ur 50,000, would provably. not be much aut of the way. A yearly unpost of, say, $2 each would pay the uddition to the pullee-force now being talked of. A MORE IMPORTANT UBNEPIT would be the fiotd which the ordinance would Bive the police on the criminal classes tn their efforts to brescrve order and prevent rows. The rough could not get leenses any more than dis- orderly houses can get saloon licenses, No doubt these roughs would varry their pistols just the wame, but it wouldn’t be exactly safe, cause the officers would catch them, and the Justice would give them, very possibly, the extent of the law, iN few procedures of this kind would tend to dlecourage the, practice of having a pistol at band ready to entdree au argument “10 you kill s pig, kill him thoroughly.” Sume- tlmes, tadecd, Chinese custams throw o light upon our own wise saws.

They are carefully preserved, for “to part with thet portends an early separation between busband snd wtfe"? This may be compared with our own throwing of shoes aftera newly-marricd couple, which sume commentators suppose to be “a symbol of renunciation uf all rignt tn the bride by her father or guardian and the trans- ference of it to her husband," though Mr. Mo Lennan thinks {t may bea survival” of the old custout of “capturing” the bride, ONE OF THE CLOJET PARALLELS between European and Chinese superstition ts traved by the use of tho planchelteumong our- selves aud in China.
