One Chinaman Who Got In.

In the case of Chew Fong Lee, who

A Hartford Boys Dead Sure Bets.

For several months Messenger, the
druggist, has been selling safety
match with an unpronounceable name.
1t is good match, but he failed to see
why a certain newsboy needed so many
the urchin turning up every day or two
and buying n couple of boxes. To ap-
preciate the point it must be noted that
the box has two friction sides, on which
alone the match will ignite. The other
day the clerk asked the boy what use
he made of the matches and elected
the following: "Well, sor, l buys them
matches and takes that thing off
(pointing TO the igniting strip and
pins it on my clothes. Then bets the
boys they can't light the matches ex-
cept on the box, an i wins. Then l
bets them can, and l reaches down
where that is pinned and l strikes it on
my clothes and lights it" The urchin
stated that his revenue from this little
scheme was about 80 cents day.

The NIonjula.

During all the time that Brazil re-
NAMED dependency of Portugal, the
'fatherland" introduced but one labor
saving machine into the empire. No
race of people on the globe could bet
ter any mechanical continuance devised
for the saving of physical exertion.
The Brazilians are, constitutionally
and religiously, opposed to everything
having the least appearance of labor.
If they could live their time in entire,
uninterrupted idleness, and pay their
undivided attention to the proper con-
sumption of villainous cigarettes, I'M
alleged happiness and contentment
would be theirs. The people must have
possessed the same trait of character
while under the reign of the first Dom
Pedro, yet the Portuguese were so neg
ligent of the veal of their South Ameri-
can foster children, and so disregarded
the demands of the race which desired
labor savers and was so saving of labor
they couldn't make the labor savers,
that but one idea was exported into the
empire. From the earliest days of the
country the people had ground their
mandioca flour by pounding the roots
siderable physical exertion, even.for q
slave, and the introduction of cheap
substitute was probably hailed with
delight. The monjula is the name of
the contrivance designed 10 do this work
and to-day you viii see numbers of the
things over the empire, doing their work
with an appearance of laziness very
much in keeping with the natives.
Shall / describe this great labor saverP
Here it is: A beam twenty or thirty
feet long is balanced horizontally on
an upright post which may be of any
height from six to ten feet. One end
of this beam terminates in sort of
hammer or pestle, which is in juxtapo-
sition with rude wooden mortar set
upon the ground. At the opposite end
of the beam is shallow wooden box
that is filled with water directed into
it by series of water-works, bitches
and troughs. The water pours into the
box until it is filed when it overbal-
ances the pestle end and falls. This
movement empties the box when the
beam returns to its position and drops
into the mortar, dealing heavy blow
to the mandioca roots placed there TO be
pulverized. The box fills again and
by this alternate filling and emptying
and consequent lifting and dropping of
the wooden trip-hammer the mandioca
is finally ground with no more manual
exertion than is needed to place the
raw material into the mortar and take
the finished flour therefrom after the
monjula has done its work. In this
way this intricate piece of machinery
thumps away, killing time and crush
ing mandioca. The patent on this ma
chine has probably expired so you
need have no fear of prosecution for
infringement if you should choose to
manufacture them. wa WayWard, IN

The Wealth Of America.

A supplement to BrddstreerS contains
some interesting information, obtained
from advance proofs of the census vol
ume relating to wealth and manufact-
ures, now in press. In 1880 the total

seems large, but when it is remember

Mr.. watterson on Eggnog.

Some cranky Virginiaa, a century or
two ago, betook himself to the prepa-
ration of new beverage, but somehow
he became mixed in his calculations as
he proceeded, and produced a SOUP
He pronounced it good, and called it
eggnog. We classify eggnog among
the soups advisedly, for it hath due
consistency, rich amount of animal
nutrition, and withal the process of
cooking is involved, for, as the raw Ii
quor of concoction, whether whisky,
brandy, or rum, is poured into the cold
conglomerate of beaten egga. it imme-
diately cooks them. No drink is richer
or more generous than this soup in res
pect to its immediate effect on the PAL
ate, and none Is more insidious and
tricky when it gets in its work upon
the interior viscera and gizzard. A
hot internecine feud promptly arises
between the several incompatible in
gradients, and they proceed to dissolve
partnership, each element-the whisky,
the eggs, the sugar, and the milk-set-
ting up business on its own account
The result is confusion and chaos. The
liver and the lights also become in.
volved in the decentralization in the
neighborhood, and ultimately the blood
and the nerve centers. The patient, in
fact, falls into a stage in which he
would be liable to be called drunk or
dinarily, though, in fact, he is merely
the victim of overlooking on n most
treacherous soup. There have been
more useful inventions than this soup,
but we would not censure the inventor.
