Native Chinese Merchants.
The ntibuns's Washington special
says: The Chinese minister has given
formal notification to Secretary Evarts
OF the decision Of his government to
extend the commercial activity Of the
empire by revoking the ancient DEGREES
prohibiting subjects from engaging in
commercial relations withforeign ports,
and that In future the greatest latitude
win be accorded Chinese merchants who
wish to engage in. foreiGn trade. As
svideAce Of stliisS Simrortantt step the
Chinese, minister informed Secretary
Evarts that a steamer owned by Chi
nese merchants and manned by Chinese
oficers and crew would arrive in San
Francisco shortly WITH q cargo, and
this would be the beginning of an ac-
tive stednef tsade between China and
the Unitsd States "A kA
The Secretary, speaking on the sub
jeet, said tiiefs vas moro significance
in this growth Of progressive ideas in
China than might besupposed. To-day
nearly nine-tenths Of the commerce of
China is carried ON hyy American and
European houses and ships on Chinese
account. BY, releasing Chinese mer-
chants from the restrictions and penal
ltiss IL ths Imperial decree, hitherto in
vogue and compelling them to use for
eign houses as Intermediates between
the authorities at Pekin and the native
merchants ut the treaty ports, this
enormous trade viii ut once fall into
native hands and will break up the lu-
crative commercial operations Of the
foreign houses. Its Significance diplo-
matically may also be important, and
It may introduce some unexpected prob
lens Of commerce and diplomacy for
the United States commissioners, now
on their way to China, to solve. The
secretary admits that, with her CHEAP
labor, the enormous maritime popula-
ton along the great line Of coast from
Corea to the confines Of Cochin China,
and tho remarkable shrewdness Of hef
merchants, in time the commerce OF
the world may be seriously affected BY
this now competition for cargoes Al

Save the Old papef.

Never throw away old paper. If you
have no wish to sell it, use it in the house.
Some housekeepers prefer it to cloth f r
cleaning many articles of furniture.
For instance, a volume written by lad'
who prided herself Oh her experience
and tact, says: " After a stove has been
blackened, it can be kept looking very
we'll for long time by rubbing it with
paper every morning. Rubbing with
paper Is much nicer way Of keeping
the outside Of tea kettle, cofee-pOt,
and teapot bright and clean than the
old way of washing them in suds. Rub
bing with paper is also the b5st way of
polishing knives, tinware, and spoons;
thew shine like new silver. For pOia
ishing mirrors, windows, 'amp-chimnoys,
etc, paper is better than dry cloth. Pr
serves and pickles keep much better if
brown paper, instead of cloth, is tied
over the jar. Canned fruit is not so apt
to mold If a piece Of writing paper, cut to
fit the can, is laid directly on the fruit.
Paper is much better 10 put under a
carpet than straw. 1t is warmer, thin
ner, and makes less noise when one
walks over it.

A Little known Test for Health.


A distinguished German savan, Pro-
fessor jaeger, has recently published the
results of his highly original studies on
what constitutes sound health, and how
best it may be attained and preserved.
Increase in the proportion Of water in
the tissues and humors of the body he
considers to be one of the chief factors
in liability to illness. When as much
water as possible is given off by the
lungs and skin, and when its accumula-
tion is, as far as may be, provided
against, tendency to disease has been
greatly diminished. Hence we see at a
glance why it is better to wear close-ft-
ting woolen clothing; why gymnastic
exercises, exciting free Precipitation,
are beneficial; why it is wise to use not
drinks and highly-seasoned food in ill
ness, and why thorough ventilation of
sitting and bedrooms, by preventing
moisture from being present in any
greatquantity in the air, is one of the
most valuable fsanitary laws. A mans
specific gravity, Prof. jaeger maintains,
is a good criterion of his strength of
constitution, his capacity for work and
his power of resisting disease.

age. They had married agsinst the
wishes of their parents. The husbands
business bad been bad, and, at the end
of half a year of wedlock they were very
downhearted. "I have come to the
conclusion that the best way out of
trouble is to commit suicide" said the
husband, "and 1 shall do it. The wife
said every well; we will hoth kill cur

the head, and he was found with the
weapon aimed at his heart, but he lacked

Luminous Flowers.

Among the elegant novelties of the
hour now offered for sale on the Paris
boulevards are phosporescent flowers,
which glow with a lsmbent light in the
dark, and rival their natural tiutss
They are rendered luminous by coating
the petals with transparent size, and
then dustingz them with phosphor-
eseent substance, such as canton phOs-.
phorusa (suiphide of calcium) or Bolo-
gna phosphorus (sulphide of barium).
Canton phosphorus is the best, and
yields a soft yellow light According
to NJ. BecquereI, a good quality can be
made by mixing forty-eight parts of
flowers of sulphur with tifty-three
parts Of calcined oyster shells, and
raising them to a temperature of be-
tween 500 and 600 degrees centigrade in
a crucible.. After exposure to sunlight
during the day, or to the electric or
msguesium light, the flowers thus
ceated become brightly luminous in the
dark.

Steam Boiler Explosions.

This table indicates that there were
more causaIties from boiler explosions
in Ohio in the year '76 than In all the
Eastern States. More than twenty
three per cent. of all the explosions re-
ported were in this State, although the
total number of. boilers in Ohio is less
than q third Of the humber in either
Pennsylvania or New York, and prob
ably not half the number in Massachu-
setts.3 In the face of such showing we
are driven to the conclusion that
thoroUghainspection law is needed as a
preventive measure, and that it cannot
be enacted too soon. ~ sss
