The Wool Trade.
Qua COMMISSION MERCHANTS.
MOODY 81 PARISH.

In looking through the business interests
OF our city it is our aim to select only first
class houses for representation in these col.
umns There is "a branch OF industry that
has heretofore escaped our notice, and that
is the wool trade; but We shall endeavor to
make tiis omission good, and with that end
in view have selected the first-class firm Of
Moody Il Parish, Of 2l0 Davis St, 5. r, They
are wool commission merchants, and it is one
OF the leading houses in its line on the coast,
and whose transactions cover the entire
range here. They also carry such needed sr-
ticles In stock pertaining to the wool trade,
such AS wool bags, twine, sheep shears, sheep
washes and tobacco. The location OF the
firm is good one, and one for business con
venience. The business OF the year just
closed has been prosperous one, their bust
ness having increased Notwithstanding the
duliness OF other trades. This has been
brought about by adhering to strict bust
ness principles, consulting always the best
interests of their consignors. selling when
the market iustihes it at full value. Their
facilities for the disposition of wool, either in
this or any of the Eastern markets, are per
feet, and a large proportion OF The clip OF the
coast is annually passed through their hands
to the satisfaction OF their numerous patrons
from Prescott, Arizona, to San Juan Island,
Washington Territory. This is the oldest
house connected with the wool trade on the
coast, and is of large experience In their
line and high standing in commercial circles.
To our friends We confidently commend this

produce. On long voyages, or journeys by

The Famine in China.

We published, the other day, commu-
nications on the subject of the famine in
China, which showed that the cause of
this terrible calamity is msapprehende
by some, at least, Of our readers. Opt
um is, no doubt, a curse to the inhabi-
tants of China, and there is no censure
too severe for the mcrcenary policy of IA
Christian country which has urged it
upon them in spite of the protests of
her heather rulers. But opium has
nothing to do with the present famine.
1t is unjust to represent the people of
Northern China as drunken sensuaiSts,
suffering the punishment Of their idle
ness. They are, in fact, swarming
mass OF wretchedly poor peasants, ac-
cnstomed to want and to frugality, of
which the people of this prolific country
can have 40 just idea. SO extreme is
their condition, even in favorable wears.
that certain days are appointed by law
when the half-starved bands of bcggars
are permitted to enter the shops and
houses of the towns and to make what
cutlery they please until they receive
aims. The destruction of female chill
outgrowth of the perpetual want to
which these people have been born heirs
for generations. "Infanticide," says
Christian writer, cit appears to them a
merciful necessity, not crime"
The famine, which has reached its
crisis in the present year, has been
caused by the failure of the rice crop
for three seasons, owing to the terrible
drought which followed the destruction
of the timber in Shan-tsi and Chilli.
Sir Thomas Wade has just issued an ur-
gent appeal for aid to all English speak
ing people, of which it is only necessary
to quote the fact that seventy-iiv mil
lions of people are literally starving to
death; that for year they subsisted on
herbs and grass, and last year on the
bark of trees and that now, all vegetation
having utterly disappeared, they are eat
ing earth and a kind of slate stone which
can be masticated. A single guinea, Sir
Thomas says, is enough to save a human
life for year. If any additional mo,
tive be needed to give force to these terri
bic facts, it may be found by Christians
in his statement, that the English and
American missionaries have given them
selves up to the work of relieving the
dying people about them, and that their
conduct has effected great change in
the opinion of the Chinese with regard
to the religion they teach. 1--WE will
never speak i'll of them again. they
say. This is "A better religion than that
of the Mandarins.'
What is New York going to do in
this matter! Times are hard, but the
poorest can spare something for great
nation starving to death. The time has
come to teach Christianity as Christ
taught it, This is the season when col
lcctions are taken up in our churches
for foreign missions. We would suggest
that one starving creature saved from
death now in His name would be living
seimon which no tract or missionary in
the future could ever equally. Y. Tri-
bune.

THE little Prince Victor Emmanue

THE little Prince Victor Emmanuel
was so fond of his grandfather that they
were afraid to tell him the news of the
kings death. Mr. Round says, in The
independent, that the king used to relate
anecdotes of his little grandson with
great gusto. The king was great smoker,
and once this little fellow, desiring to fol
low in his grandpapa's footsteps, asked
for cigar. bah" said the king. Its
bad habit as itl Well, then, when
grow up I'll teach you better than to do
it, was the quick reply of the little
crown prince. One day the little prince
was talking with his grandfather, and, as
the story goes, asked him what he should
be when he grew to be man. "Oh,
perhaps you'll be king some day and |
hope you'll try to be a good one" was
his grandfather's reply. THAT will be
very pleasant" said the prince. but
can be circus rider, too! Because it
Mould be more fun"

ling, when at college, is said to have had
manners so reserved that they provoked
his fellow students to tease and torment
him. He was then a tall, slender youth,
and not strong, and feeling his inability
to protect himself properly, he quietly
procured teacher IN the art of sclfde-
Tense, and soon became an expert boxer.
After he had held few emphatic inter
views with divers aggressive students,
they concluded it was the better part of
valor to let him alone, and he finished
his college course with no more molesta-
ton. 1t is added that the Senator takes
pleasure in putting on the gloves when
ever he can find anyone to spar with him.

A Rival to the Sea Serpent.

The seaserpent has rival. II is a
land animal; an animal as large, as fan
tastic, and as elusive as the celebrated
monster of the sca-and at least twice as
mysterious.
The minhocao is the new wonder A
very slight change in its name might
have prejudiced the world against it--as,
for instance, if it had been baptized min
hoaXo. 1t is well fathered in the realm
OF science, being brought to notice by
one Fritz Muller, of Brazil, in the Z0o-
iogtshe Garten, and receiving full page
of large type in a recent number of
Nature. The minhoaco is believed t"
be resident of the region Of South
America where the Uruguay and Parana
rivers have their sources. The animal is
sail by different observers to have the
following characteristics: 1t is wor NJ
shaped; about eighty-two feet long (by
guess and more than a yard in thickness
mot very long" however, according to
another account; two horns on the head j.;
a snout like a pig; a less definite descrip-
ton makes the animal Gas big as a
house." and measurement of the track,
indicates its possible width at six and-a-
half ia ten feet. Some years ago, it is
said, there was dead minhocao wcdgcd
in the cleft of a rock near Arepehy, Uru-
quay; its skin was as thick as the bark
of pine tree, and formed of hard scales
like those of the armadillo.
The new animal is, however, chiefly
known by his works. Great trenches
are found in this region, which are sup
posed to be the evidence of the min
hocao's industry. Heaps of earth are
turned up in the process, and where pine
trees stand in the way of the trench,
they are rooted up, and sometimes part
of their bark and wood may be torn off.
The devastation of this performance,
which is chiefly near or under the sur
face of the earth, though often under the
bed of Il stream, is enormous. In one
case the entire side of hill was under
mined, it is supposed by two of these
animals, and was traversed by deep
trenches. By such proceedings, marshes
have been drained, or dry land converted
into morass, and the courses of streams
entirely changed. Some of the trenches
are spoken of as being from three-fourth,
of a mile to mile in lesgth. They are
cxcavated with great rapidity.
1t will be noticed that the new aspir-
ant for fame has been almost as little
seen as the sea serpent. The suoter.
ranean monster is simply more fortunate
than the submarine, in leaving more pal
pable traces than wake of foam. We
may expect soon to hear of scientific
expedition to Uruguay in search Of the
mnhocao. Whether it will be found
like ceratodus or lepidosiren or a
plyptadont it is yet too soon to guess
possibly when unearthed it will be recog-
nized as the descendant of one of the gi-
gantic armadillos that certainly dwelt in
South America during the reptilian age
of geology. ". Y. Tribune.

DEATH RATE IN VARIOUS OccUrA-
ton of an individual has much to do
with his general health, and with his
chances of death. Statistics prove that
the death rate is lowest among scientists
and professional mcn-not physicians
then follow Protestant clergymen, engi-
necrs, farmers and laborers; next carpen-
tiers, machinists, and workers in iron
then come schoolmasters, tobacconsts,
physicians, and finally the clergy of the
Roman Catholic church, among whom
the mortality is much greater than among
the Protestant clergy and the other pro
fcssions named. Next we have druggists
and butchers, then miners and glass manu-
facturers, plumbers and coppersmiths,
railway employees and dock laborers, and
last of all carmen, cabmen, horse-keeperS,
and inn keepers, among whom the NOR
tally is greatest, and much more than
double that of the first mentioned occu-
patton.
The deduction which may be drawn
from these facts are very instructive and
practically useful; they prove that the
quiet pursuits of science tend to prOlong
life as we'll as out door labor, provided it
is not on railways or among shipping or
horses that to work in iron is more whole
some than to work in lead or copper rs
might be expected, while the confined la
Dor of schoolmaster is ms injurious As

Ollie priest; lastly, the inn keepers, beir Z
most exposed to the temptation of intern
perance, have the least chance for long
life, as we'll as those with whom they
habitually keep company.-Nanufdcturer
