A Chinese engagenwnt dates its be- ginning from the exchange of red cards between the parents of the (-l'mtraeling parties. These cards in many districts are immense documents, almost the slze of a horse blanket. They are im- portant for the reason that they are used as evidence in case of disagree- ments in the future. We seldom hear in China of broken engagements. Yet it a quarrel cannot be settled peaceful- ly recourse ls had to the law, and the judge usually imposes a fine upon the party who has broken the contract. -_A- The chief incident in a Chinese mar- riage is the arrival of the bride in her bridal clothes before the house of her chosen one. That is a de facto fulfill- ment of the contract. The wqiding day is determined by the parents of the groom. The imperial calendar names the lucky days, and on such days the so called red celebrations take place. both in the cities and country. The Leverage In a Screwdriver. It is sometimes supposed by persons imperfectly informed in mechanics that a long screwdriwr gives greater lev- erage than a short one. 'i'his. how- ever. is incorrect. The action of a screwdriver. the pressure on which is direct, is not in any way analogous to that of a lever. The euperiority of a long screwdriver rests simply on two factsâ€"first. you can generally get a better grip on a long screwdriver than on a short one and can bring the whole weight of the body and strength of the arms to bear on it. and. second, the tor- sion of the iron in a long screwdriver comes in to supplement the force em- ployed. The only way in which lever~ age can come in is in connection with the breadth of the point of the screw. driver. and even this counts {or noth- ing beyond the breadth of the head of the screw.
