Chinese Girls Not Appreciated.

1t is a sad disappointment if, con-
trary TO expectations, a daughter ar
rives upon the scene. No red eggs are
sent with hearty congratulations and
benedictions as at the birth of a boy.
The whole household considers such an
event beneath its notice, and the down
cast parents almost apologize for an
nouncing so uninteresting a piece of in
tellgence. In the case of wealthy
homes this does not necessarily imply
any deficiency of parental feeling. The
baby girl is there nursed as tenderly as
a boy, but her value is diminished by
the consideration that she is of no per-
manent use to the family aud must
eventually pass to another home for
ever. The birth of girls is a sore trial
to poor families, and in some cases the
occasion of the most unnatural of
crimes. A great deal of nonsense has
been written about the universal prev
alence of infant;cide in China, and half
the books on Chinese social life must be
read cum grGllo sails. When it is con-
sidered that every lad can wed an eligi-
bic damsel, it is really surprising how
widely the stories about slaughtered
Celestial girls have been credited. 1t
would he equally misleading to assert
the entire absence of infaaticide. The
truth, as usual, lies between two ex-
tremes. 1t must be admitted that there
are districts where it is largely prac-
ticed. In one poverty-stricken locality
the death of girls was so serious that
the mandarins interposed, forbiddin3
the barbarous practice of destroying fe-
male babies. A boatwoman once told
me with the utmost sang tr0id that she
had drowned five of her infant daugh-
ters with her own hands almost as soon
as they were born, and defended her in
human conduct by the plea that such
an early fate was better than starvation
and slavery. 4 woman employed as
nurse in a foreigners family in Canton
told me that out of eleven sisters her
father had only permitted two to sur
vive.-SGH Francisco Chronicle.

The adoption by most of the prominent
dairymen and farmers of the United States,
of the Improved Butter Color made by
Wells, Richardson g. Co., Burlington, VT,
is a proof of their wisdom in a business
point of view. Nearly all winter butter is
colored in order to make il marketable, and
this color is the best, in regard to purity,
strength, permanence and perfection of tint.

The Wholesale Arrest OF Freight Train
Conductors in Sprfn RMeId.

The arrest of ten freight conductors at
Springfield on Sunday caused a commotion
in railroad circles. They belonged on the
Boston & Albany railroad. The detectives
first arrested Walford Hunt and A. M. Clapp,
of West Springfield On Sunday officers
were stationed at the Union depot in tha'
city and ten conductors were arrested as fast
as their trains arrived. Two others were ar
rested Sunday at Boston. Those confined at
the station in Springfield Sunday night were
William Bosom, H. Varney, Frank Bytt
James Reed, Joseph Paoall aud George F.
Tiles of West Springfield, and Samuel Lord
and Daniel Ames of Springfield. The first
arrest is said to have come from
the fact that the wife of one of
the West Springfield conductors gave the
thievinR away to a neiRhbor, explaining
where her silk and velvet dresses came from.
The conductors houses have been searched
shoes, furniture. etc, found which can be
proved as stolen property from the Boston
and Albany railroad. 1t is said that City
