Lanterns ia t'bina.
A Chinaman and Lis lantern are insep
arable. Let him start on any errand
which is likely to occupy him nntif sun
set, and his lantern will be the first ar
ticle that Le lays Lands on to carry with
him. Even on the brightest moonlight
night Le considers it Lis duty to pro
vide himself with artificial light ; and
it is a curious sight, at a large fire at
night, to see the crowds which fill the
streets, every man with Lis lantern held
aloft, althongh the practice originated.
