In other countries, NE fad that Ia VA
numbered Instances their psTsllsliSm
with those u China Is u but modern
date; that they, too, At former periods
have shown BY their use In China and
nowhere else that they were but further
proofs Of the self-suficing and self-sup-
plying character Of the Chinese mind.
II WAS this that discovered the polarity
Of the magnetic needle and applied IL
TO use in the compass, and obviated its
dip by the simple device Of placing its
weight below the point of suspension,
and ii was this, too, that first perceived
and made allowance for the variation
Of the needle from the tue pole. II
was this that was due the invention Of
printing and its perfection TO the high
est degree permitted by the language,
for with the Chinese alphabet there is
no advantage in interchangeable types.
IL was from this that arose the inven-
tion Of paper in the first century Of u
era, the production Of inks having a
carbon base, as with the printer's-ink
Of to-day, and the manufacture Of lamp
black from the burning of oils. IL was
this that devised the drilling of grain
rs distinguished from broadcast sowing,
a method that saves in the annual
seedtime OF China as much as would
feed the inhabitants Of Great Britain
and ireland.
The primitive Chinese mill for the
hulling Of rice is substantially the same
AS the modern mill for decorticating
wheat; and another apparatus for the
same purpose, "A lever armed with a
stone at its outer end and actuated ut
the other by arms radiating from the
shaft Of a w~ater-wheel. differs in no
essential respect from the principle Of
the trip-hammer.
What in our day is known US the
Belgian system Of canal propulsion, and
now on trial on the Erie canal, was de-
rived from the Chinese method OF cross
ing rivers. The plan by which life
boats are worked to and fro for the re-
lief of stranded vessels Is the same rs
that by which The ships OF mandarins
were drawn against the current Of the
yellow river centuries ago. The pad
dle-wheel was used for purposes Of pro-
pulsion in China long before it revolved
in western waters. 1t was the slruct-
ure OF the Chinese junk that afforded
the prototype of the water-tight bulk
heads used in our modern steamships.
| Upon RATS or hurdles OF bamboo the
Chinese spread layers OF earth which
they cultivated like garden soil, and
thus anticipated by ages the floating
gardens of Mexico.
In u W country 4 factory system
Of making cheese and butter was ini-
tiated about thirty years ago; the like
was done by Chinese sugar makers gen.
erations before the existence of our con-
tinent was known TO the eastern world;
and the same workers OF the cant first
used TIE waste bagasse for heating the
e~vaporating pans.

When the Cook Is Sick.

There is distress in the household, TO,
the light of the kitchen and the ioy Of
the department of domestic drudgery
languishes on bed of rheumatism.
Having during long term of service
unwittingly conveyed to her employers
the idea that she might be counted on
forever and in any emergency. The
possibility of her absence from DAYS
duty had not occurred to anybody in
the house. 1t would seem as natural to
find the church steeple lying fiat on the
pavement as to mark cooks absence
from stated duty. But as the frost of
winter arrests the activity even of the
busy brook and confines it in letters of
ice, so does autumnal rheumatism catch
and cripple the poor girl while waiting
too late at night outside the gate to wish
her departing cousin safe journey
home. 1t is not so much hearty SYM
pathy for her sufferings that fills the
famil y with sorrow. True, there is a
fair amount of sympathy. and what
there is is deep and sincere. But the
trouble is to know how to get along
without her services. So long has It
been tae custom to depend on her
for almost everything necessary to
daily existence that the various men,
bers of the family are almost helpless.
There are some things which the girls
know. Sophia Serena can make Char
lotte russo, and meringues, and
whipped cream and soap-bubble pie,
and seven-story jelly cakes in flats,
with layers of jam to keep the flats
apart. Maria. Magenta can tastefully
adjust on the parlor mantel and the
etagere the neat little plaster Samuels,
Japanese pagodas, and other articles of
bric-a-brac which have been bought
with her own pin-money or presented
by admiring friends. But neither of
these young ladies knows how to kindle
a fire in the kitchen range, or to keep
it going in the event of having succeed
ed in setting the fuel ablaze. After
some discussion as to the proper rela.
tons of kindling wood to anthracite,
they decide to place the hard coal at |
the bottom, because it is the heaviest,
and to lay the chopped wood and news
papers on top, because they are so light. |
A neighbor, who kindly comes to the |
rescue, explains to them why this |
method of lighting the fire was fail |
ure. Old Mrs. Materfamilias has not |
for many years taken an active part in |
details Of household effort or culinary |
art. In rash moment she resolves to |
try her skill in compromising and bak-

Sophia Serena and Maria Magenta. ana
even worries its way into the BRAIN OF
the improvident Mrs. Materfam1has,
who has never trained her daughters N
ways Of household usefulness. Why
should these amiable and excellent peo-
pie have been so helpless? Why should
they have depended on the servant Tor
works of daily necessity which some
body must perform for every family
Why should they have grown up in
such ignorance of all that woman
ought to be mistress of? Have they
not sold themselves out to tho Etch-
en- administration, and made the cook
queen of the household? Have they
not been her too-willing slaves and
dependents? They will turn over .
new leaf. They will still esteem the
young woman highly for her works
sake. But they will remember that.
however helpful she may be, she may
be taken sick, or die, or get drunk.
or be married to her cousin and
stop living out. They will learn how
to do for themselves. So when the ne
cessity is laid upon them they set to
with willing hands and eager hearts to
learn those domestic arts in which
every woman should excel, whether she
intends to practice them or not. They
become experts in all manner of kitchen
accomplishments, and are independents.
They learn how to tell the difference
between steak and turky, so that
the marketmen no longer impose on
their ignorance. Their pies are whole
some; their biscuits are digestible;
their roast meats are faultless. And
far above the mere ability to make eat
able things. they have the joyful salts
faction of being able to reign supreme
in their own home, instead of being
sold out to a tyrant. Some of these
days Sophia Serena and Maria Magenta
will marry. If they are slaves, their
lives and the poor fellows who wed
them will be miserable. If they are
able to manage their own households,
