Chinese In New York,

The New York correspondent of the
Fuhalo Courier fr-aishes this infOrma-
ton: "The Chinese in New York,
where they become more and more nu-
mefOus very fast, are very like ourselves
in one respectively care a great deal
more about money than about religion.
One of the charges against the hinese,
by the way that they don't marry-is
not quite true. Some of them do
marry-when they can get white wives.
A Chinaman and white girl went to
the Mayors office the other day and
were made man and wife. A short time
before another Chinaman and white
woman, who appeared as his wife, were
in the police court to settle low about
the name of their baby. The taste of
the white girls who take washee-washee
husbands can hardly be commended, but
the washee-washee men don't care much
about the taste, suppose so long as they
yet wives. There is already some talk
about asking the Legislature to forbid
this kind of miscegenation, but what it
may amount to | cannot say. As yet
there is no sign of special demand for
hincse servants. Probably not more
than fifty of the $500 Chinese in New
York are employed in this way. / un-
dcrstand that some who have tried Chin
amen have been glad to get rid of them
after a few weeks. There is no particu-
lar complaint, but sort of general dis
satisfaction.

The British Medical Journal sounds
warning against living in newly painted
rooms. The danger of inhaling the
vapor of turpentine has been long known,
and its pernicious influence on the
health is beyond all doubt, as has
been verified in several cases occurring
in persons sleeping in newly painted
rooms, some of which have proved fatal.
Several theories, more or less proba-
bic, have been propounded to explain
the prejudicial effects of the inhalation
of the vaporss but, whatever be the cor
rect explanation, there is no doubt of the
danger of occupying a room recently
painted, in which turpentine has been
employed, before complete desiccation
has taken place.
1t was pointed out by the Council of
Hygiene that a sudden death which re-
Gently took place In Paris was attributa-
BILE to this cause, it being shown that it
could not be ascribed to the lead which
entered into the composition of the paint
of the room in which the deceased slept:
the lead, being fixed and non-volatile.

An Idiotic Amusement OF -. ness,

There is an extraordinary form II CALI
graphic mania of which the chief sy mp
tom is q desire 10 compress into the
smallest possible space the greatest NUM-
Der of words. At the exhibition opened
at Dusseldorf few days ago, a gentle
man showed o postal card upon which is
written by hand the whole of the first
three books of the Odyssey" while
the remaining space, such as it is, is filled
with transcript of long debate which
recently took place III the German Par
lament, the whole containing 80, 600
words Feats of the same kind have
often, however, been achieved before,
and none, perhaps, is more remarkable
than that "rare piece of work brought
to pass by Peter Bales, an Englishman,
in the reigh of Elizabeth, namely, the
whole Bible written in a volume contain
ing as many leaves as full-sized edition,
but fitting into walnut" Pictures, of
which all the lines and shading are made
up of minute handwriting, are not I'M
common in the museums of the curious,
and in st. Johns College, Oxford, is
preserved a portrait of Charles l., in
which the engraver's lines, as they seem
to be, are really microscopic caliigraphy,
the face alone containing all the Book of
Psalms, with the Creeds and some forms
of prayer beside. How old this species
of ''curious idleness may be it is hard
to say, but at any rate we know that the
ancients were as subject to the mania as
the moderns, for Pliny records that Cicero
possessed a Homer, the "Iliad only,
that shut up into hazel nut; and other
writers of antiquity record such wonder
full but preposterous exploits as the in
scribing with the naked eye hexameter

In the Great Tunnel.

A Vienna correspondent, writing about
the ST. Gothard tunnel, says: "Thoss
who went into the tunnel before it was
entirely pierced, all tell of their delight
in having got out of it again unscathed.
1t seems that the heat, the bad smell, the
mud, and the noise of the machines are
simply unbearable. OF the work people
one-third were always on the sick-bed,
and great numbers of the horses fell q
sacrifice to the difficulties that had to be
contended with. A great deal, it is true,
still remains to be done, but from the
moment the opening was made by dyna-
mite, air began to pass through the tun-
mel, and although it may not yet be the
most healthy place, still it viii be sup
portable. The calculations of the en-
gineers were right to two metres, the
length of the tunnel being IA, 91S metres
instead of 1920, as they calculated.
When the opening was made every one
stood awe-struck, and an italian, Angelo
Chiesa, was the first who passed to the
other side. The trains will take little
more than half an hour to pass through
the tunnel.

The Richest Woman in America.

The richest woman in America, and
indeed, excepting royalty and Baroness
Burdett- Coutts, the richest in the world,
is Mrs E. H Green, the wife of the
Vice President of the Louisville and
Nashville Road She was q Miss Robin
son, and her father was a whaling master
at New Bedford He owned d fleet of
ships known as the Blue Line of whalers,
and from his profession was known as
"Blubber Robinson" He died when
her fortune of about eight millions.
He lived slenderly and prudently, and
gave the management of her affairs to
Mr.. John J. Cisco. AS her tastes were
simple and her wants few, she was able
to transfer her enormous income almost
every year to the body of the fortune
itself, and it has now accumulated to
more than $27, 900, ,0OO Her husband,
Mr.. Green, was very rich man when
she married him, and has been success
full since. It is said by one who should
know, that the income of this couple is
81, 500, 900 year. Mr. Green is rather
large in stature, quiet, reserved, saga-
ciOus, and of modest habits. He is
abont At years of age, and she is
about 43.
The richest young ladies in New York
are the Misses Garner, the daughters of
Commodore Garner, who was drowned
under a yacht that overturned a few
years ago. He made his fortune In Wall
street, and upon his death was able to
leave his daughters four or five millions
each. Added to this, they are charming
and beautiful young ladies.

The Courteous LAWYERS

You recognize the courteous lawyer at
once. He places a chair gracefully for
his client. whether the client is an ele-
gantly attired lady IN 5eelskins and
diamonds or a clumsy pumpkin In hot1es
spun and liquor. He smiles sweetly at
his opponent, and bows to the jury in
deferentially familiar way He pays the
fees to the clerk before he has the
trouble to ask for them, and draws the
bills out of his ocket book slowly, one
by one, as gently as he would lead a
belle from her carriage t. the ballroom.
His bow to the court is almost an apology
for having come into the profession con-
tempOraneously with his Honor He
handles witness as though he was the
frail golden setting and his testimony the
gem he was trying to remove. His tones
are carefully modulated, and he appeals
for q reply to the kindly sensibilities Of
the witness. "Be so good" is the cap
tivating exordium, and " thank you the
palliative peroratiOn. If he wounds with
question, he binds up the sore the
next moment with the liniment of polite
ness. To his opponent he overtlows
with generous waivers and admissions,
and if by chance he interpolates re-
mark, he does it as though he was put
ting bOquet In his adversarys button
hole He thinks he understands the
court. He hopes he does not misappre-
bend his learned friend. He trusts the
witness knows what he means In adj
dressing the jury, he unbOsOms his APP
probation of their intelligence and
ability. He lays his arguments before
them with respect amounting almost to
reverence, as though they were pro-
pitiatory offerings to a deity whom he
wished to placate. To the court his
whole demeanor is redolent of respect.
The court is most honorable; the Judge
most distinguished. He is, In short, so
filed with human consideration for every
thing and everybody around him, that he
finds excuses for the jury that beats him
and for the court that nOnsuits him. 1t
is true, he has been know to revile an
adversary In private, to curse surrepti-
tiously, and to sneer at the Judiciary in
the social circle 1t is also true that he
can wrench fee from client In a ruth
less moment and take a snap Judgment
when he thinks it safe. But these little
trifes only show that he is human, and
he knows that men are not apt to believe
that head with such halo of polite
ness around it can have for its pedestal

1inm to Buy Meats.

There are not many house KEEPERS who
have any thotough knowledge about
meatsj the condition in which it ought
to be bought, its appearance when it is
unfit Tor use, and the most desira BILE cuts
to purchase. This sort OF knowledge is
most essential, especially when there. ex7

the butchers. One fact shbtiid be FB,
membered, and that is that in the pur-
chase of meats, as In everything else, the
best is the cheapest. Cheap Joints al
ways include large bones and sineWs:
such joints should be used for soup and
gfavies. For roasting and boiling choose
the better cuts, such as legs Of mutton
and veal, ribs, sirloin and round of
beef.
Ok beef, when good and voting, has
fine open grain and good red color; the
fat is firm and white. The. grain Of COW
beef is closer dna the B6lot dafket. When
the fat of beef is hard and skinny, and
the lean of a deep red, it is very inferior
Old meat may be known by line of
horny texture running through the meat
of the ribs. The cuts known ds ehtCk,
btisl1et and foiind, arc the least desirable.
Sir1oin and middle ribs are best for
roasting.
In choosing mutton; look for firmness
and hneness Of grain, good color and

The vein in the neck of lamb is blue
when the meat is fresh, but turns green
when kept too long. In buying hind
quarters, examine the kidney; there will
be a slight smell if the meat is not as
fresh as it should be, Veal is generally
preferred when the meat is delicately
white, but it is better favored and more
juicy when the color is a little deeper
