HOW TO BREAK OFF EAD HABITS.

Understand the reason, and all the rea-
sons, why the habit is injurious, Study the
subject until there is no lingering doubt
in your mind. Avoid the places, the per-
sons, and the thoughts that lead to the
temptation. Frequent the places, asso-
ciate with the persons, indulge in the
thoughts that lead away from temptation.
Keep busy; idleness is the strength of bad
habits. Do not give up the struggle when
you have broken your resolution once,
twice-a thousand times. That only shows
how much need there is for you to strive
When you have broken your resolutions
Just think the matter over, and endeavor
to understand why it is you failed, so that
you may be on your guard against recur.
renee Of the same circumstances. Do not
think it is an easy thing that You have un-
dertaken. 1t is folly 10 expect to break
of a bad habit in Il day which may have
been gathering long years.

A ROMANTIC GANG OF ROBBERS.

The Paris police have just captnr1l IL ro-
mantle gang of robbers. They are women,
whc hahitually passed as mn, and, in
blouse and trowsers. sought what they
co:t;d leyour. The band was well organiz-
ed, and had long pursued its career trium-
phlntly. A certain Annette Roux, alias
Troppmann, was the chief, and to her bold
ness the society owed its origin. The six did
not live together, but they dwelt within Il
short distance of each other, all on the route
to d'Asnieres. Three are married. The
long immunity they have enjoyed is owing
in part to their hubiS of disguise, and part
to u salutary rule which for1lla them to

on satisfactorily with Troppmlnn and Com

Madame Henri, to fall in love. She fell
very deep, indeed, and the object Of her
young affections was Alfred Robert, Il car

lIllf Il century ago bellows making was
Il athriving trade. Every house had its pair
of bellows, and in every wel-fumished
mansion there was a pair hung by the side
of every fireplace.
But as stoves and CRATES took the place
of open tircplacts. and as coal was substi-
tuted for wood, the demand for bellows di-
minishcd, and the business, as Il separate
trade, died out.
The same is true of tiint-cutting. Flints
were once necessary, not only for tindcr-
boXes-and a tmder-box was as necessary
for every house as gridiron or u skillet.
Every one who looks back to Il childhood of
forty odd years ago must remember the
cold Winter mornings when the persistent
crack Of the flint against the steel sent up
from the kitchen an odor of igniting tinder
and sulphur which pervalel the house.
We have no more idea what became of the
hInt-produccrs than Of the old man Of sor-
rowful memories, who, three OF four times
a''wcck called at our store with birthstone
matches, for sale at penny the half.dozen
bunches. Both have completely vanished
from the country.
Then, again, are gono the pin makers,
who, though they have been in their graves
this quarter of Il century, still figure in
lectures and essays to illustrate the advan-
tagcs of division of labor. Instead Of pin
taking dozen men or more to cut, grind,
point head, polish, ant what not, as it used
to do, pins are now m de Ly neat little ma
chimes at the rate of three hu .drcd min
ute, of which machines a single child tends
to half Il dozen.
Matchmaking at the forge is another lost
industry. Time was, and that in this
nineteenth century, when every nail was
made on the anvil. Now, from one hun
dred to one thousand nails per minute are
made by machines. The mailer who works
at the forge has buta bad chance of COM
petinS with such antagonists, and he would
have no chance at all were it not that
his nails are tenfold tougher than the
former.

Ci:INToi. LABOR.

The chinese have already found their
way to the Pacific coast. They are at work
on the railroads, in mines, forests, fields.
factories, and the kitchens and chambers of
dwelle!s in California. They are in Ore
gon, Montana, Nevada, and Idaho. Now
that the Pacific railroad is completed, they
will soon be at SlIt Lake City. and in time
will make their appearance in Chicago and
Boston.
The supply of labor in China is unlimit-
ed. We are to think of Il country contain
ing population of four hundred millions.
One half of the people are only able to gain
their daily bread. Two hundred millions
in that land have faint hope of ever making
any headway, and hence the readiness to
seek their fortunes in foreign regions.
They are at Singapore, where several hun
dred thousand have taken possession of the
lower end Of Malacca, and trade with ves-
sells touching at that port. They are on all
the islands of the Indian Archipelago.
They swarm in the gold fields of Australia; j;
the Sandwich Islands will soon be in their
hands, and they will supply San Francisco
with sugar. They are to be found all the
way from Chill to Oregon.
Nearly all those who are thus seeking
their fortunes abroad are from Southern
CHINA, where remarkable spirit Of enter
prise and adventure has been lately devcl-
oped. Companies, like those established in
London two and a half centuries ago for the
settlement of North America have been
formed at Canton and San Francisco for the
encouragement and protection of the Chi
ncse emi grants. The one hundred thousand
now III America, are but pioneers of the
millions who viii follow by-anG-by.
We are accustomed to think Of the Chi
n"se as belonging to a degraded race, igno-
rant of civilized life, and unable to compete
with the skilled labor of Europe. But we
have this fact before us. that China as
nation makes the whole world her debtor
We want her tea and silks, and can obtain
them only by paying cash. We have also
the fact that the Chinese have established
themselves in the woolen mills of Clllfor-
MIA, producing cloth which won Il prize at
the Worlds Fair. The Chinese work pa
tiently. They are not disposed to be ag-
gressors upon the rights of others; neither
will they allow any infringement of their
own. They wage no war, but, if treated
unkindly, quietly go their own ways, seek
ing business somewhere else. 81 no do for

CHANGE OF COLOR IN ANIMALS,

Certain animals possess the power OF
changing their color at will or according
to the circumstances in which they are
placed. This is convincingly shown in
some recent experiments made by Mr..
Pouchet, French investigator. He chose
us his subject the Ptlnmon scrrttus,
species of prlwn or crab. Tucs, prawns,
when brought ashore 10y the fishermen,
have n rose or dark lilly color; but if they
are put into porcelain vessels with black or
white bottoms, they will assume colors
wholly unlike. Those in the white dish
become yellowish, almost colorlcss, as if
they had just shed their skin; those in the
dark -colored dish assume brownish red
hue. If they are changed, the pale into
the black vessel, and vice versa, they again
change their color, in correspondence with
their surroundings. The change of pale
one to a dark tint was more rapid than the
reverse. Thus, under favorable circum-
stances, yellow, red. or blue Pal;emon can
be created.

LlyI>G~Eu>r'> Lt>r JOURNAL

The world owes deli Of gratitude it can
never pay to tie faithful servants who,
through dangers and against obstacles
which the imagination can but family pic
ture, bore the dead bodyof their friend and
master, with all the precious records of his
wandcrings and discoveries, from the little
village where he breathed his last to the
coast of Zanzibar. But for their affec-
tionate devotion these records would have
been lost ; and, with the exception of what
was contained in the diary entrusted to the
care of Mr.. Stanley all knowledge of the
important discoveries made by the great
traveller during the last seven years of his
life would have perishcd. Thanks to the
fidelity of these poor ignorant men, in the
narrative now given to the world, covering
seven years of continuous travel and dis
covery. not a break occurs. 1--WE have
not says the editor of this deeply inter
esting work, ''to deplore the loss, by acci-
dent or carelessness, of a single entry from
the time Of Livingstone's departure from
Zanzibar, in the beginning Of 1866, to the
day when his notebook dropped from his
hand Ill the village of Ilala, at the end of
April, 1873" The preservation of these
documents appears almost miraculous when
we consider the nature OF the perils through
which they were borne to place of safety.
The little band of faithful servants had to
make their way with their precious burden
hundreds of miles through a wild and ter
rible country, through lands where the de-
based and supcrstitious tribes would have
torn them to pieces had it became known
that they were carrying a dead man, over
the river swollen into raging torrents,
across mountains, and through dense for.
ests, where dangers lurkcd in every thick
ct. Yet, although at every step beset with
perils, suffering ortentimes from hunger
and thirst, and sometimes almost dead from
fever, the dreaded scourge of equatorial
Africa, they remained faithful to their ST.
cred trust. and gave an example of fidelity
and hcrcism that should never be forgot
ten.

THE PROPOSED NIAGARA RIVER
TUNNEL.

A gentleman from Washington Pa, Mr..
Joseph Patterson, who is II Scotch miner,
and who is said to have q profound know
ledge of tunnel work, gained by thirty five
years experience in this and other coun-
tries, has been making careful examina-
ton of Mr.. Wallacc's plan and profile of
the projected tunnel under the Niagara
River at this point. He fully atiirms its
than any other tunnel il the United States
Of the same naturc. NJ. Patterson lvisas
the putting down of q Shaft on each side of
the river, and then driving drift through
under the river, seven feet by seven in the
lear. This mode he recommends as the
best under water; first for quickness, since
my number of masonS can work in wi len
.ng OUT and second for good ventilation
in the building of masonry. Mr.. PAt.e .erson
.tates that he win hold himself in readi-
ncEs to enter into contract for the above
named shafts and drifts at any time with
in three months, at a price and under con-
dltions given to Mr.. Wallace, engineer
We learn from Mr.. Wallace that the price
at which Mr.. Patterson offers to contract
for constructing the proposed shafts and
drift is SIS per lincll foot, he to be respon-
sible for all pumping. Tn. cost at this
rate would be S:I2,92o. The cost of subsc-
quently enlarging the drift to the ncces-
sary dimension of a railway tunnel can
easily be calculated by any engineer or
contractor, with great accuracy and GER
taiuty
