The Chinese Medical System.

The medical treatment of a sick
Chinaman in Chinatown merits the at

recovered from a severe fever, and
while hardly convalescent, had gorged
himself literally with the premature
melons, abortive apples and widowed
grapes. which are so plentiful and "rea-
sonable" in the Mongolian shops on
Clay street. This diet did not seem to
strengthen him, and in a few DAYS he
was eurled up in his bunk with terri

How THE Sun MOVED A BRIDGE.-
During the recent building OF a bridge
in Holland, one of the traversers, 400
feet long, was misplaced on the supports,
1t was an inch out of the line, and the
problem was how TO replace it. Exper.
iments proved that the iron work ex-
banded small fraction of an inch to
every degree of heat received. It was
noticed that the night and day tenn.
perature differed by about twenty-fiv
degrees, and il was thought this might
be made to move the bridge. In the
morning one of the pieces was bolted
down securely and the other end LEFT
free. In the heat Of the sun the iron
expanded, and toward night the free
end was loosened. The contraction
then dragged the whole mass the Other
way. For two days this experiment
was repeated, and the desired plaoe
reached. The contraction and expsa.
sion of iron bars by fire heat has frs-
quently been used to move heay
weights over short distances. Brokm
walls and strained roofs and arches
have been brought into place by simply
heating iron rods until they expand,
then taking the slack by screws aid
nuts and allowing contraction by cid
to pull the wall or roof into place.

II was the second time he had accom-
panied the young lady home from one
of those little social parties which are
gotten up to bring fond hearts step
nearer to each other?
When they reached the gate she
asked him if he wouldn't come in. He
said he would, and he followed her into
the house. cit was a calm, still
night" and the hour was so late that
he had no fear of seeing the old folks.
Sarah took his hat, told him to sit
down and she left the room to lay off
her things. She had hardly gone be-
fore her mother came in, smiled sweetly,
and dropping down beside the young
man she said:
"I always did say that if poor but
respectable young man fell in love with
Sarah he should have my consent.
Some mothers would sacrifice their
daughters happiness for riches, but L
am not of that class"
The young man gave a start Of alarm.
He didn't know whether he liked Sarah
or not, and he hadn't dreamed of such
a thing as marriage.
"She has acknowledged to me that
she loves you," continued the mother,
"and whatever is for her happiness is
for mine"
The young man gave two starts of
alarm this time, and he felt his checks
grow pale.
CT haven't" he stammered,
when she said:
"Oh, never mind. / know you
haven't much money, but of course
you'll live with me. Well take in
boarders, and I'll risk but that we'll
get along all right"
It was bad situation. He hadn't
even looked love at Sarah, and he felt
that he ought to undeceive the mother.

mered, when she held up her hands and
said:
81 know you hadn't but it's all
right. With your wages and what the
boarders bring in we shall get along as
snug as bugs in a rug"
"But, madam, but, but"
"All l ask is that you be good to
her" interrupted the mother. "Sarah
has tender heart and loving nature,
and if you should be cross and ugly il
would break her down within a week"
The young mans eyes stood out like
cocOanuts in a show-windOw, and he
rose up and tried to say something. He
said
"Great heavens madam, l can't
permit"
"Never mind about the thanks"
she interrupted. 81 don't believe in
long courtships myself, and let me sug-
gest AN early day for the MARI age.

DOMINICA, which was formerly one of
the chief coffee producing countries,
has of late years almost entirely ceased
to grow the plant. The capabilities of
the island, however, are apparently so
great, not only for the cultivation of
coffee, but also for many other food
products, that the attention of the
authorities has been directed to the
matter, and the result is that
Mr. Prestoe, of the botanic gardens,
Trinidad, has been commissioned
to examine and report on the prospects
of the island generally, and the best
means of developing its resources. We
an4iously await the details of Mr..
Prestoe's report upon an island so fer
tile and beautiful as Dominica, but
which has, no doubt, through want of
European capital and energy, been
allowed to drift almost into sn unpro6t
able waste.
