Chinese Swindlers Mt Home.

Sedan bearers push their way through
the crowd, hawkers scream their wares,
respectable pedestrians edge their way
as they best can, and shoals of vermin-
covered beggars, in filthy rags, that are
an outrage on decency-for the bridge
outside the Cinnamon is the chief beg
CARS quarter of Pekin-importuno all
alike, and even kneel in front of advanc-
ing carts and horses. They know full
well that handsome sums will be readily
paid rs "hush-moNey," by any one
unfortunate enough to ride or drive over
them, and so inhict wound; for native
law enacts that, if any one be killed by a
cart, no matter whose fault it may be,
the carter shall be beheaded, the horse
destroyed, and the cart burned. Pro-
portionate penalties IRE inflicted for in
juries thus caused, and the beggars
naturally take advantage of law which
has, of course, rendered furious driving
an unknown offence in Pekin. When
foreigners first took up their residence
in the city, they were much distressed at
the numerous accidents which befell
them in riding over beggars and similar
characters. True, a dollar generally
sufliced to heal the wounds thus caused;
but SO many dollars had to be paid that
the tax became serious. Mentioning
the matter incidentally before one of the
teachers" he gave them piece of
sensible advice. Don't give anything
to the next man you ride over, said he,
"and you'll have very few more acct
dents" Sure enough, the next man
blind, recovered both the sight and the
use of his limbs, when informed, in the
choicest Chinese the speaker could
muster, that his little game was played
out" From that day forward, very few
accidents ever occurred in the beggars'
quarter. The native carriers, however,
are less successful in resisting this curl
Gus mode of swindling.

Preservation OF Ice.

The preservation of ice at this season
is, both as a matter of convenience and
economy, consideration of special i'm
portance, and it is satisfactorily proved
that no refrigerator or ice-box will pre-
vent or even retard the melting of the ice
which does not combine the following
conditions. First it must have double
sides, bottom, and lid, with the space
between the two castings filled with some
non-conducting substance capable of be-
ing closely packed, in order to prevent
the action of the external temperature !;
and, second, the inner lid or cover should
be practically if not Theoretically air.
tight in furtherance of the same result.
If external air enters it will bring its own
temperature with it. There should also
be drainage-pipe at the bottom to carry
off, instantaneously, every drop of water
formed by the melting Of the ice, and
this pipe should either be fitted with a
trap" or curved in such a manner as to
prevent air from coming in where the
water goes out. Is is even more indis-
pensable to carry off every drop of water
than it is to exclude the air-a view not
generally entertained by consumers of
the article, but which, according to ex-
periments made, seems to be fully dem
onstrated. Thus, on exposing piece
of ice weighing, say, twenty-five pounds
to the air at q temperature of seventy-tive
degrees, but 50 placed that it is perfectly
drained, it will be found to have scarce
ly disappeared at the end of twenty-four
hours. Wrap the same piece of ice in
three OF four thicknesses of blanket or
flannel, and place it in small tub expos
ed to the same temperature, and, as the
water filters through the blanket, the ice
will stand in its own water, and will be
all dissolved in five or six hours. Wrap
the same piece of ice carefully in blank
ct, and place it on grating, or on four
crossed sticks, so that no water can ac-
cumulate underneath, and at the end of
three or even four days it will not have
entirely melted.

Fashion Notes.

Clam-bakes are on regle at the sea-shore
just at present.
The latest style at large weddings is
not to display the presents.
Costumes for country wear are not SO
long as those for the street.
Very pretty bracelets are wide bands
of silver, neatly chased and enamelled.
The light-colored tortoise-shell is pre-
ferable for earrings and bandeauX for
the hair.
A new style of shoe has just made its
appearance, and is called the "Croquet-
buskin, "
A new style of hat for gentlemen is a
half high beaver, with wide brown
ribbon band.
A lady who gave party recently had
engraved in the corner of the invitations
the words small and early"
A new material for breakfast costumes
is called batiste and resembles linen,
being only little thicker.
Ladies wear blue and gray wells tied
around their neck as protection from
the sun, besides being very becoming.
Plain belts are worn with dresses, with
the addition of several loops of narrow
ribbon at the back of the waist.
Very handsome sets of jewelry are of
"chrysoprase" in dull gold setting, the
stone being a light green with white
back.
A large seal ring on the little finger Of
ladys hand is considered quite CONNIE
il .fdm Gentlemen wear theirs on the
third finger usually.
Bonnets for next Fall and Winter are
to have a wide box-plaited curtain or
cape at the back, which will completely
hide the back hair.
A young married woman in the coun-
try says she wishes she could have q
magic mirror, to see how her husband
amuses himself in her absence.
Many young women drive to Central
Park in small basket wagons,lwith little
tiger on the back seat, and large UNI
brella fastened to the seat of the car
riage.
At dinner-party, recently, all the
vegetables were served in China dishes,
made each to resemble flower surround
ed by green leaves. The effect was very
pretty.
White linen parasols, lined with dark
purple or green linen, are used by ladies
at the sea-shore in preference to the
pengee or silk ones, which are so expen-
sive and so easily spoiled.

Helm for the Horses.

A correspondent writing of the New
York horse disease says People having
charge of stock seem to think they can
ignore natures laws with impsnity, and
go on from day to day, giving the same
quality of food, and expecting the stock
to retain its health. They ignore the
fact that nature, in the spring of the
year, furnishes necessary medicine in
the young grass which purges the ami
NAL, and thoroughly and gently cleans
out the system. Now, if those compa-
MES will invest little money, in some
fresh-cut grass, and give to each of their
horses one good armful every day for
couple of weeks, they will find it more
profitable than losing their horses, even
if it does cause some trouble and incon-
venience. The great objection urged is
that the grass weakens them for their
work, but neither man nor beast can
take medicine in any form without feel
ing weak and low in proportion to its
strength. Clean and we'll ventilated
stables and an armful of fresh green
grass once or twice day will be grateful
to the animal and economical to the
pockets of all horse-keepers

The Mountain Heart Ease.

BY scattered rocks and turbid waters shifting,
BY furrowed, gaded dell .-.
To feversh men, thy calm, sweet face uplifting,
Thou stayest them to tell.
The delicate thought that cannot find express
ion,
For ruder speech too fair,
That like thy petals, trembles in possession,
And soatters on the air.
The miner pauses in his rugged labor,
And leaning on his spade,
Laughingly calls to his comrade-neigh
To see thy charms displayed.
But in his eyes mist unwanted rises,
And for moment clear,
Some sweet home face his foolish thought sur.
prises,
And passes in tear
Some boyish vision Of an Eastern village
OF uneyentful toll,
Where golden harvests followed quiet tillage,
Above peaceful soil.
One moment only, for the pick uplifting,
Through root and fibre cleaves,
And on the muddy current slowly drifting,
Are swept thy bruised leaves.

The English Income Tax.

The history of the income tax in Eng
land possesses a special interest at this
particular period, when taxation is neces-
sarily in all mems thoughts. 1t was in
1912 that Sir Robert Peel brought in his
too memorial bills. The rate was then
I'd. per 81, or 60 1Ss. i'd. per cent. For
II years this state of things being con-
tinued but in 1853, when Mr.. Gladstone
was Chancellor of the Exchequer, an act
was passed limiting the duration of the
tax at I'd. per f1 to seven years, after
which it was to be gradually reduced in
amount, until, like the celebrated horse
whose daily diminishing allowance of
grass at last reached handful, it died
of hamilton. Meantime incomes be-
tween G100 AMI ESQ we're rendered liza
BILE to a penalty of sd. in the 81. On
the occurrence of the Crimean war this
programme had to be broken through,
and the I'd. was raised to Is. I'd. per FL.
In 1857 tse rate was again lowered to
I'd. per 81, and the next year to sd. per
81. In 1859, however, the rate for in
comes above G150 was made Cd. for in
comes between that sum and G100 it was
made Gid. per 81. In 1861 the Cd. rate
was raised to 10d, and the cd. to I'd.
In 1862 Id. was taken off each class In
1868 a uniform rate of I'd. per Ell was
imposed, but for incomes under G200 a
reduction of EGO was allowed. In 1864
Id. was taken off, and in 1866 another
3D., so that it now stood at I'D. per 81.
1t continued the same figure in 1866, but
in November, 1867, when the Abyssinian
war had to be provided for, it was raised
to sd. and the next April to cd. In 1869
it was reduced to 3D., and last year to

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. How little
is really known in this country in re-
spect to agricultural economy is illus
trated in the statistics concerning fences.
1t is said that the improved lands in
South Carolina are worth 800, 900, 900,
while the fences that inclose them have
actually cost Sl6,O0O,000. The fences
in New York have cost S144, 000, 900 !;
those of Ohio, $115, 900, 900; and accord
ing to an estimate made by Nicholas
Biddle thirty years ago, the fences of
Pennsylvania had then cost 500, 600, 900.
The fences of the whole Union are esti-
mated at 81, 300,0 100000. The time may
come-in the next century, it is suggest
ed-when outside of towns and cities a
fence will almost be curiosity. Hedges
will take their place, and thereby accom-
plish an immense saving OF money,
while lending rare and exquisite beauty
to the rural landscape, which it can
never have under the present system.

Among the passengers are 76 men, sent

walked thence to La Paz, where they

authorities, rations being issued to keep
them from starvation. They say they
were compelled to sign an agreement to
release the Company from liability for
damage before they were permitted to
leave. Some are sick and some are

destitute. They are now in San Fran
