Who elected President Cleveland
is question that admits of several
answers. The Democrats are of the
opinion that they had something to
do with carrying of this state, and the
Blaine organs seem to be divided in
opinion as to whether Cleveland's
victory was due to the Independents,
the Prohibitionists, the stalwarts or
Mr.. Burchard. The question is now,
however, settled beyond any doubt.

If the average citizen thinks that the
Chinese residents of the metropolis are
not good livers he is grandly mistaken.
Their tables are served with delicacies
which they expressly import, and which
cannot be obtained elsewhere than in n
lirst-class Chinese grocery. One of their
strangcst articles OF diet consists of Gin
fant's eyes" or, in the Chinese language,
'Ha Pan Lam" These are said to make
juicy and most delicious stew.
''Ha Pan Ian" is the product of a
species of fish indigenous to Chinese
waters only, though possibly in course
of time they may be raised in American
waters and streams. The body of the
fish is very small but its eyes are of ex-
traordinary size-fully as large as a full
grown baby's. Only the eyes are secured
by the fisherman. They are dried so as
to keep for years.
There is also the Ma gu-ee, dried
and sailed fish not unlike founder in
shape and size, but having four tlukes on
either side. Its meat is white and very
toothsome. Still another strange look
ing fish is the "Low-uee." The lower
extremity of the body of this is diamond
shaped, and from the upper end, looking
like badly used spear head project a
dozen or more feelers at least foot long,
on the extremity of one of which is the
creatures head. The body proper of the
fish is not much larger than small
1ounder.
Still another article of Chinese food,
and highly esteemed, is the " Haei- mai -
In appearance, as imported, it is like a
lot Of maggots, or kiln-dried meal
worms. The llaei-mai is the meat of a
small shell-tish like our shrimp, and
when dried is of a light red color, and
. about as large round As a large knitting
needle. 1t is stewed in milk, and favored
with salt, pepper and butter. The Tu-
poee is sardine-like fish, and is pre-
served like the sardine.
Much in demand among the Chinese is
the Lap-chong, or sausage, which is made
about the thickness of a mans thumb
and six inches long. 1t is made out OF
some dark meat, with long pieces OF
pork fat running through. Still another
great delicacy is the Yin waa, or bird S
nest, a kind of gelatinous substance
gathered from the nests in which swal
lows have been reared. 1t is only gath
cred in the spring, after the young bird,
have quit the nest.
Also imported by the Chinese for theiI
own consumption is the "La-chec," 8
singularly formed and very delicious nut,
the fruit or meat of which tastes like &
raisin, though of more delicate flavor
1t is about the size of a lime, and the
outer shell is rough and so thin that 6
finger nail will break it, The raisin- like
fruit inside encompasses pit like tama
rind stone.
These are few of the principle articles
of food imported by the Chinese mer
chants in large quantities. Every veal
additions are made to their stock Of edi
bles. -NeiC York Neus.

A Natural Soap Mine.

On Smiths Creek, in Elko county,
New, there is most remarkable
stratum of steatite resting horizontally in
steep bluff of volcanic matter which
fanks the eastern side of Smiths Creek
Valley. The stratum Of steatitc is from
three to ten feet in diameter. 1t is easily
worked and is Il veritablc soap mine. In
fact. the farmers, cattle men and sheep
herders in that region all use the natural
article for washing purposes. Chemi-
cally considered, this peculiar clay is n
hydrated Silicate of alumina, magnesia,
potash and lime. When the steatite is
first dug from the stratum it looks pre-
cisely like immense masses of CASTLE
soap. the nothing element being a small
percentage of iron oxide. Professor
Stewart has received sample of this
natural soap prepared by a firm in Elko
who have undertaken to introduce it into
the market 1t is similar in appearance
to the CASTLE soap sold in large bars.
Nothing is added to the mineral but a
trihe more alkali and some seeming ex-
tracts. Its defensive qualities are as
powerful as those of any manufactured
soap,

Reports to the Paris Academy of
Science on the lightning strokes in France
during 1888 show that such accidents
were largely confined to the months of
June and July, the number reported for
July being 143, resulting in thirteen
deaths. Most of the persons struck oc-
cupied positions near a tree, a chimney
or a house on an elevated site with trees
around it: but there were cases of death
in open fields and on a roadway. Several
accidents from lightning happened to
persons carrying umbrellas.
The manufacture of artificial human
milk is growing into quite an industry in
England. 1t is made from pure cows
milk, which is first boiled to destroy all
germs, then treated with digestive fer
ment called pancreatine, by which arti-
fetal digestion is produced, and is finally
brought to the constitution as human
milk by the use of dilute acids for pre-
cipitating the excess of albumen. Sick
children in hospitals have been fed on
this product, and gained most rapidly in
health and weight.

The forthcoming annual report Of the
postmaster general will, says Washing
ton letter, show an increase of -, 900, =
600 in the number of postage stamps sold
during the past year over the sales of the
preceding year This will bring the
total number of postage stamps sold
during the year up to about 1,215, 900, =
600, or an average Of twenty-four each
for the population of the country
during the year. There were in
addition to this, about 100000, 900
stamped envelopes, bringing the total
u to nearly 1900, 900, 900. Add
ing 3a5, 600, 600 postal cards, which will
be shown to be about the number used
during the year, will bring the total
mail communications of the year up to
1,S00, 600, 600 in round numbers or an
average of about thirty five letters or
postals each during the year for the
whole nation.
Probably the estimate of thirty five il.
too high, for it is based upon the figure.
of the last census, which make the popu-
lation 80, 900, 600, to which should now
be added 5000, 600 or S,000,0 900, so that
the average in the number of letters
would probably dro" to thirty three, or
something in that Y. .hity.
The annual statement of the Dead
Letter Branch will contain the usual in
tercsting facts regarding the work of
absent minded people and bad writers of
the country. The number of these
amount to four and half millions. OF
these about twelve thousand were mailed
without any address and nearly two hun
bred thousand without stamps. Half a
million are from other countries whose
owners cannot be found. Foreign dead
letters are returned to the countries from
which they come. Those originating in
our country, and whose owners are not
found are opened.
At the postotlicc is a museum made up
of the articles found in these letters and
it is curious one. 1t contains every
thing from money down to a pair of dirty
socks. The money amounts to nearly
$40, 900 for the year, while the drafts,
checks. notes, etc, amount to 81, 500,
900. The number Of these dead letters
containing photographs runs up to thirty
five or forty thousand year, and those
containing articles of value of various
sorts amount to nearly 500, 600 yearly.

jackson was also q wldower when he
entered the White House, having become
! so but a few months previous, and under
the most painful circumstances. His
wife, who was beautiful, gentle and
truStful woman, married in her early
years injudiciously and had been di
vorced, afterward marrying Jackson.
During his campaign the tongues of par
tisan malice did not spare even Mrs.
jackson, but her husband had spared
her, keeping from her the newspapers
which contained these attacks. After
his election, however, sitting in her room
in hotel at Nashville, whittier she had
gone to prepare for her journey to Wash
ington, she overheard in an ad Looming
room the tongues of gossipers detailinl
the ISLANDERS which the press had pub
lished regarding herself. the agitation
brought upon her by this caused an at
tack of heart disease, and in few hours
she was n corpse.
Mrs. John Quincy Adams, the wife of
jackson 5 predecessor, gave to Washing
ton more brilliant social reign than it
had ever known, provoking Mr. John
Agg, the first shorthand reporter ever
in Washington, to the production of his
famous poem, a couplet of which runs
thus:
Bellies and matrons, maids and madams,
All are gone to Mrs. Adams.
Her reign was quite in contrast with
that of her predecessor, Mrs. Monroe,
who was the daughter of British Off
Ger, and little given to social enioyments.
Her predecessor, Mrs. Madison, is spo-
ken of as the only woman of social
genus ever occupying the White House.
Her reign there was, of course, brilliant.
Jefferson, who preceded Madison, was q
widower when he entered the White
House. He was not believer in social
life as it then existed. and gave few
levees or entertainments. His daughter
presided at those few which he did give,
and Mrs. Madison, the wife Of his secre-
tory of State, occupied the place of chief
lady at the White House at the state
dinners.
Abigail Adams, wife OF President
Adams, who preceded jefferson, was
the first mistress of the White House.
She dried her clothes in the great east
room on wash day, but was, for all that,
a remarkable woman

HEALTH HINTS.

A Spanish proverb reads: "When you
sit with your back to a draught you sit
with your face to your coffin.
Doctor Nigouroux recommend a glass
OF lemonade, taken as hot as possible
every hour or half hour, rs not only an
easy and agreeable but most efficient
cure for diarrhea.
1t is said that by the following simple
method almost instant relief of earache
is afforded: Put five drops of chloro-
form on a little cotton or wool in the
bowl of a clay pipe, then blow the vapor
through the stem into the aching
ear.
To remove a cinder from the eye it is
recommended to send flax seed in after
it. The glutnous substance which it
forms with the lachrymal secretion. en-
velopes the irritating body, which is car

railway trains who are peculiarly liable
to receive cinders into the eye, should
carry small supply of flax seed with
them against these accidents.
AS heartburn is usually symptom of
some form of dyspepsia, to prevent it
thoroughly, it will be necessary to cure
the disease. But great temporary relief
may generally be obtained from the use
of anti-acids, such as magnesia, lime
water, etc. The great thing is to pre-
vent it, by the use of proper diet Dis

it to be half arsenic. Let Others eat all
