Earnings of Cochin China Girls.

Correspondence Boston Commercial
Bulletin: But human nature il weak,
especially feminine human nature, in the
adOrnment question, and vanity runs to
the years of the Cochin girls. Their ear
rings are wonderful to behold. They
can't indeed, be rightly called earrings
They are more like the bungs of a hogs
head. At the tenderest years the little
children have great gashes cnt in the
lObes OF the ears and tOrtoise-shell plugs
inserted to stretch them, and as they grow
older these plugs are enlarged, till, at
maturity, they appear with things ike
snuff boxes, the size of a moderate pair
of fists almost always of tortoise shell,
sometimes of ivory, plain for everyday
wear, but for grand occasions elaborately
inlaid with gold and silver, and on very
grand occasions the ear-plugs are OF
solid gold, weighing pound or more
apiece, and carved in the most distract
ing way. ! think I've remarked before
that the Cochin jewellers are greatly
skilled in their trade, especially repO,,sse
work, which is DOW getting so fashionable
here, and they expend their very best
energies on the earrings for the Cochin
bellies. 1t is wonderful how they work,
with tiny forges and tiny blOwpipes
blown by tiny boys, enormous horn
goggles and little hammers and dammer,
or soft composition, to form basis for
their punching operation, and the purest
gold and silver, and little bellows worked
by their toes. Fingers, toes, nose and
eyes snap and CLINT rs they rapidIyply
their task. -Four annas, or twelve cents,
which is the regular coolie or days wages
for these hereditary skilled mechanics
from this coolie, or days hire, comes the
term COOLIES" for day laborers so hired) |
seems a trihing sum, indeed, for the
lairy-like results of their artistic labor.

also to be able to produce more cheaply.
The South American and Brazilian
markets are large consumers of Man
chester goods, but there exists no valid
reason why we should not compete with
her on favorable terms. We are nearer
and the expense of transportation should
be considerably lighter. But to this end
it is necessary that we should be able to
purchase our iron ships more cheaply,
the cost here exceeding by One-third that
in England (; our vessels should also be
free from taxation, as on the other side,
and another advantage we do not possess
is, that abroad, supplies of eXciseable
articles are purchased duty free from
bonded warehouses, so that foreign ship
rates, being under much less than
exports more than fifty times the
quantity of cotton goods that we dO,and
with our manifold advantages we ought
certainly to be able to reduce this pro-
portion very considerably; we have the
raw material here, and can ship it To our
mills much more cheaply than she can
to hers; there is also plenty of labor of
the right kind only waiting for employ

there is everything in fact in our favor
except legislation, and it behOoves us
now with this great future dawning up
on us, to bring all our forces 10 bear
upon this point, and to secure the pass
ing of such laws as will be conducive to
the interests of this trade. Our national
trade policy is not, as it now exists, IA
vorable to an extension of our commerce,
and stands in need of amendment. The
unsettled state of our currency is also
somewhat of drawback to us, but at
tention being now aroused and turned
seriously to the brilliant opportunity
which lays before us in taking our fair
share in the productive supply of the
world, the minds of our wise and think
ing men will naturally concentrate
themselves upon the subject, with a
view of devising such notifications and
amendments in existing laws, and the
framing of such new ones, as will remove
the disabilities under which we now
labor and open up the way for the enter
prise, capital and labor of the American
nation to take that position in the en-
pOriums of the world to which the ex-
cellence of her manufactures Justly
entities her, so that in future years a
crop of over 5,000,0O0 may become a
and not a drawback as it is
feared, from the present way of looking
at it-N y Cotton Record

The Palmy Days of the Drama.

Celia Logan in the New York Dis
patch: Sol. Smith, the founder of the
brilliant theatrical family of that name,
lived in my fathers house in Cincinnati
one whole summer.
Oh those terrible long summers, how
they were dreaded Salaries during the
winter barely sufficed for the current
expenses, and it was almost impossible to
put by anything "for rainy day." con-
sequently the summer was one continued
night with the wolf at the deor-he
would enter, he could not be kept out.
There was then no "jOb" acting,
whereby an actor might look forward to
earning a few dollars, even in the dullest
time; no snap companies going out for
the fourth, or playing few nights here
and there in the cooler country towns /;
but when the regular season was over
the actor had to subsist until the follow
ing fall without earning a penny by his
profession. Sol. Smith was a kindly
man, with a great deal of grim humor
and a brave endurance of the hardest
fate. So tall was he that when he tossed
me up in his arms / used to think that
he would throw me into the skies. To
my childish imagination he seemed many
UlltGS lOU0. lHdb HIS lidI SON-
cred ali he owned. His pantaloons were
of some soft wooden material, of light
color, which caused them to soil easily,
and as he was very clean, particular
man, the pants needed frequent washing,
so he used to lie in bed while they were
rubbed out in sOapsuds.
1t seemed to me such a strange thing,
that Mr.. Smith would lie abed the whole,
long, lovely summers day on the plea of
while at the same time my IA
ther would sit by his bedside, and they
would crack jokes together and laugh
till they both cried. And such an ON
niverous appetite! He would rise up in
bed like steeple, and with the suspicion
IF smile fitting over his lips he would
'dy:
"Bring me another plat of asparagus,
sissy; poor Sol. s sick"
1t was singular, too, that the date of
lis recovery was invariably coincident
With that of the delivery of his panta.

line he would unfold them he would ex-
,laim with a sigh, { At least another inch

By the beginning of August the pan
,alOOns had shrunk so that they no longer |
cached to the ankle bones.
AZ shall save them, Mrs. Logan" he |
would say, for pair of knee breeches."

out of these are heirs to crowns. The
Duke of Cumberland has worn a crown,
and is, moreover, lineal descendant of
George H., and by a statute passed on
the 18th of January, 1905, the order is
to consist of the sovereign and twenty
five knights companions, together with
such Eneal descendants of king George
ii. as may be elected, always excepting
the prince of Wales, who is a constituent
part OF the original institution. Special
statutes are passed for the admission of
