as it is practiced in Califorui with a full
and impartial account of Its effect upon
the industries of the State. The descrip-
tions Of life and crime in Chinatown are
vivid and accurate, and the fairness of the

his expressions exceptionally valuable.
His views on the subject are sonnd and

A Young Girls Pluck.

Some evenings ago Miss Agnes
Weaving, who resides with her par
ents at 6SS Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn,
fell asleep while reading in bed. At
ter time she awoke and found her
self i'll darkness, but, being sleepy,
gave no thought as to how the gas was
turned off. Taking Il shawl from her
shoulders, which she had placed there
while reading, Miss Weaving reached
out to put it on the chair which she
knew stood beside the bed. She felt
the shawl drop on the floor, and pick
ing it up, she again essayed to place
it on the chair. The second time her
hand came i'll contact with mans
head. At first she thought it was her
young brother who was playing some
trick on her, but in the same instant
she remembered that her brothers
hair was not curly, while that of the
man whose head she had touched was.
Miss Weaving acted promptly. She
grasped the man firmly by the hair,
and, drawing him quickly toward her,
clasped the other hand round his
throat, calling vigorously for help,
while she was i'll the act of securing
the intruder. When Miss Meanings
father reached the room and lit the
gas, the burglar, for such the intruder
proved to be, was almost choked to
death. If the fact is taken into con-
sideration that Miss Weaving, al
though only Il young girl, weighs 2l7
pounds, and is built in proportion, it
will be seen that the prompt arrival of
her father was little less than prOvi-
dental for the burglar.

is this: are your affairs so well in

Catching slaves With Blood
hounds.

The recent fears in the south about
the play of "Uncle Toms Cabin be-
cause it introduced bloOdhOunds and
the statements of southern newspapers
that dogs were never used in slave
catching, leads II. b. Hubbard to write
to the Wheeling, West Va, Intelligent

To Cure Cold Feet.

People who write or sew all day, or
rather those who take but little exer-
else, may warm their cold feet without
going to the fire, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. All that is necessary is to
stand erect and very gradually to lift
ones self upon the tips of the toes. so
as to put all the tendons of the foot at
full strain. This is not to jump up
and down, but simply to rise-the
slower the better-upon tip-toe, and
remain standing on the points of the
toes as long as possible, then gradually
coming to the natural position. Re-
peat this several times, and by the
amount of work the tips of the toes
are made to do in sustaining the bodv's
weight a sufficient and lively circula-
ton is set up. 1t is one rule of the
Swedish movement" system and, as
motion warmth is much better than
tire-warming, persons who suffer with
cold feet at night can try this plan
just before retiring TO rest.

MAINE.
The Boston Journal says the pro-

there is much distress in those states.
Some 2OOO operatives are idle at Man

ing obliged to shut down. The lum-
ber-men of Maine suffer severely, the
product of the saw-mills being reduced
by some 100000 feet. The rivers of
Maine are lower than for half centu-
ry. The money loss there will be
many thousand dollars. The mills on
the PenobScOt alone will lose over
100000. The Kennebec, Androscog
gin and SacO mills are also crippled.
Farmers and householders are greatly
Inconvenience. In southeastern
Maine hundreds are compelled to melt
snow and cattle are driven for miles to
water. The Merrimac river is lower
than ever i'll its history. The great
mills ut Nashua and Great Falls, be
sides those at Manchester, are running
at from half to twO-thirds time and the
losses to employers and employed are
enormous. In Vermont, the flash
boards on the Connecticut have been
raised two feet, and still there is not
water enough to keep all the mills run
ming on full time. 1t is impossible to
estimate the losses there. The rainfall
for 1882 throughout the region men
toned was barely halt the average.
There has been no January thaw and
the prospect is threatening.
