They are not only power, but great

goods than can be made at home They
regulate the labor market in California
They know Confucius by heart, and are
content with the maxims Of that ancient
sage rather than the teachings Of the mod
ern missionary.
Every month about $500 MongoIians
are added to the Pacific coast labor and in
households. They monopolize washing
and peddling; control cigar.making,
boots and shoes, underwear, etc, are tin

but the notions OF European domestics are

dried clans and oysters are also imported.

They have several temples for worship,
