Slavery still exists in China, and is
carried on with all those painful hard
ships and iiondish barbarity that have
characterized it for centuries. Male
slaves, however, are few compared
with the female ones. The former are
nearly all descendants of rebels captur.
ed in war, while it is the practice of
girls to voluntarily become slaves in
order to save their family from perjury
and death. In poor families, where
girls are numerous, it is the custom if
they do not drown them when born, to
sell them to wealthy families as do
nestle servants. The price paid, of
course, depends upon the age, health
and personal appearance of the girl.
The average price is from $50 to $50
each, The market for human flesh IL

The silo is in great favor just now

London STANDARD says it may be in
teresting to know that in the Neither
lands the farmers wife has her silo.
This is an earthenware jar about two
feet high. Into one such in summer
time she shreds kidney beans; into
another she puts sheled peas; into
another broad beans, say; and having
thus formed siX-inch layer, she
sprinkles on the top little salt and
presses the whole firmly down. Then
comes another layer with another
sprinkling, and 50 on until she has
come to the end of her vegetables.
Leaving light weight on top, which
serves to keep all firmly pressed and
exclude the air, when more vegetables
are ripe she repeats the process until
the jar is filled. y good substantial
weight is then placed on the top, and
the opening is covered with brown
paper, and her object is attained-vi2. :

code (Redwitz in Upper Franconia)
to 26OO; the Solms statutes to as few

applying to only 100 inhabitants. To
make matters still worse, the different
districts are far from being defined
and lapse into one another in a most
complicated fashion; their boundaries
in some instances being so sharply

The great building at Salt Lake,
which the Mormon saints have been
twenty-eight years in constructing, is
approaching completion. The main
walls are done. 1t is built of granite
which is hauled from the mountains
back of salt Lake on great wagons or
trucks with wheels twelve feet high.
the walls are ten feet in thickness,
and eighty-tive feet in hight. 1t has
cost up to this time $i,500,0O0, which
has been collected by the tithing tax.
1t will require six years more to finish
the work, Probably no other church
building in the United States has been
constructed in Il way to secure such
durability as is possible to this. Some
of those who predict the early ruin of
the Mormon hierarchy are wondering
what use they can make Of this temple.

Iodine for Diphtheria.

While at Matches, Miss, in 1865,
was led, through my experience with
an epidemic then prevalent there, to
adopt the treatment which l now pro-
pose to describe. During this epidemic
about 100 cases of diphtheria were sue
cessfully treated in the manner about
to be described. For some years SUBJ
sequent to my return to Illinois / treat
ed all the cases encountered (ifty in
number) with complete success by the
same means, and have since treated
$50 cases, all with the same satisfacto-
ry result, except in two cases where
death occurred, the patient being al
most moribund when coming under
treatment. Previous to the adoption
of the present mode of treatment my
results were by no means so satisfscto-
ry, the disease proving fatal in at least
one third of the whole number of cases.
The treatment which has proved so sue
cessful in my hands is as follows: The
patient is ordered tincture of iodine in
ten or twelve drop doses every hour,
well diluted with water, so long as the
fever lasts, subsequently reducing it to
ten drops every two, and, finally, every
three hours; local application of the
drug is made use of at the same time.
These latter should be made by the
physician himself at least twice day.
For internal use, ] give latterly, the de-
colorized tincture; bread and starchy
articles of diet are at the same time
used in abundance. Such is my treat
ment. DIR. II. P. Gaatier, tn Medical

Persian Imitation. of Antiques.


Consul-General Benjamin. who was
sent to Persia year ago. gives an in
teresting account of how the modern
Persians profit by the craze for antique.
he says:
"What has been lost by Persia in the
pearl fishery she seems likely TO make
up In part by the new industry of man.
ufacturing limitations of ancient Persian
armor and coins to meet the extensive
demands of European collectors. But
the museums of Europe long since abb
sorbed most of the best specimens Of
the most interesting of the industrial
arts of the East Specimens still exist
but are not easily obtained and only at
high price, and by those able to FER
ret out the old families. III there are
no armies now to be clad with carved
and inlaid helmets, breastplates, and
buckles, there is an army of collectors,
artists, and virtuost, studios or BAN
quoting halls, and the artists of Persia
have taken up the business of manufac-
turing old arms, which may be pur-
chased for reasonable prices. Some
times Observation-Disclosures are sold
with little attempt to conceal the fact
that they are new, while in many cases
much cunning has been exercised in
giving them the appearance of antiqui-
y. Only an expert could detect the
difference between some of these imi-
tations and the genuine antique. The
Jews of Hamadan also carry on an ex-
tensive manufacture of spurious an
tique coins. That city. the ancient Ec-
BAHAMA, abounds above any other city
in Persia, probably, in antiquities, and
the soil seems to be full of gold and
silver ornaments, coins, and the like.
Although pretty we'll dug over of late
years, tho supply does not appear to be
exhausted. Fine examples of the coins
of Alexander the Great. and the Sassa-
nid@ are common, but the greed with
which they have been snatched up by
travellers has led the Jews of that city
to consider it easier to counterfeit them
than to dig for them. A steady supply
of spurious coins is therefore constant
ly furnished the market from this
source. Even gold antiques are thus
initiated, having a coating of real gold,
and cleverly Stimulating all the appear
ance of age"

Loading Bullets With Air.

VIM. F. Chamberlain, of Norwich,
Conn, has, after fourteen years of ex-
perimenting, devised what he calls a
'sperfect air-gun." The term is mis-
nomer, as the invention does not relate
to guns but to projectiles. MIR. Cham
berlain does not load gun with air,
but he loads the bullet, and he thinks
the invention would do away with the
use of gunpowder. The various parts
of Mr.. Chamberlain's bullets are three
in number. The exterior of the projec-
tile is hollow steel shell. Part two is
steel end-piece, which screws into
the shell, leaving the chamber above
the end-piece to be charged with air.
The end-piece is hollow except at the
upper end, and has four equidistant
air holes at point on its stem. A
steel pin fits exactly into the hollow OF
the end piece, the end of the pin being
flush with the bottom of the bullet
when it is ready for use. 1t is held in
place, when the bullet is charged, by q
delicate wire penetrating the rim OF the
end piece. In charging the bullet with
wire the end piece is screwed in tight,
and air is forced into the chamber by
an air engine invented by Mr.. Cham
berlain. The pin is then sent in and
the wire is fastened. The bullet may
be fired in any breech-loading gun of
the right bore. The fall of the gun
hammer breaks the wire holding the
steel pin, and drives the pin past the
air holes, the air charge rushes out
around the smaller end of the pin
against the gun breech, and the bullet
is hurled from the gun. The report OF
the air discharge is, correspondingly,
louder than that Of powder. By adap-
tation of the same principles cart
ridge is made for throwing shot.
The air-charged bullet, Mr.. Cham
berlain says, may be made to fit the
smallest rifle or the largest cannon.
The velocity with which it is thrown
depends, of course, entirely on the
pressure of air with which it is loaded.
Mr.. Chamberlain has fired rifle bull
lot, loaded with 100 pound air pressure,
half mile accurately. The shells
will stand, he says, 1000 pounds pres
sure. He proposes to make cannon
balls that may be fired thirteen or four
teen miles, the long-range possibilities
Of the projectile being limited only BY
the cohesive power Of the steel. He
AYERS that his charged projectiles are
ready for use after any lapse OF time,
and that there is no danger OF the
bursting of tine piece, as over-pressure
Of air merely starts a seam in the
metal, instead of shivering it. For
rifle or musket shooting leaden bull
let Is used.

Lazy People.

have often been forced. much
against my notion. to look into the
sluggard's heart, says Charles II. Bar
low, in Farmers World, and / have
seen that the majority are more unfort-
unate than the driving working class
ever gave them credit for. Men are
more like horses in their habits and
ways than we imagine. Poor drivers
and bad breaking with men as with
stock, is generally the cause of balki-
mess or laziness- Education and train
ing make or unmake man as well rs
beast Now and then we find man
who works easily, sprightly and natur-
ally. IL is pleasure for him to lay
out his strength and drive the work
merrily along. He never watches the
sun nor ''slouches" at his work, and it
is q pleasure to see him, for his work
to him is what play was when child,
because his soul is in his work. The
immortal part of his being acts like
high pressure of steam, drives his mus
cular powers, and he lays out his
strength unconsciously, freely and
gladly. Such man is a success at
whatever he undertakes, whether it is
boot-blacking, running farm or rul-
ing kingdom. The lazy man works
only with his animal powers, his spirit,
all but the animal, is dead. There is
no more perfect representation of end
less punishment in mundane affairs
than the lazy man at work without the
master to lead and drive him. Ey-
cry muscle in his wretched, useless
body seems to be groaning in anguish
of spirit as he plods along; every inch
he advances increases his misery; and
as he occasionally leans on his hoe, or
looks up at the sun, or gazes wistfully
at his cumbersome shadow, he seems
to say, ooh, curse upon the man who
invented work. The Lord has made
me in vain.
We know that the live, willing, go
ahead worker feels like work, loves
his farm and home, is welded to it as
to his wife. His home, farm, crops and
stock, are to him what poetry, or what
the brush and canvas is to the poet
and artist, and his work, his mission, is
to build up paradise ON earth, and
people it with the living flesh and blood
angels of the household; and he can no
more stop his work while he breathes
than the engine can stop with danger
Gus head of steam and the throttle wide
open. Don't you suppose that the
sluggard would be glad to swap the
animal emotions that torture him while
at useful work, for what that glad
spirited, work-worshipper feels while
making the wilderness blossom as a
rose.
In every community throughout our
land we see the ''unlucky" element
Constantly increasingly side by side
with the enterprising and successful,
and at last we see the cause of this
phenomenon poor class and pros
porous class-a distinct line of demark-
alton separating them. Perfect liberty,
such as has never before been known
in mans history, which allows and en-
ables man to develop to the very high
est in his nobler instincts, and make
the greatest success, as seen in our in
stitutions and marvellous growth, also
allows him to settle to the opposite ex-
treme, and descend to the lowest level.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Imitation always follows successful
article, and imitation is one Of the best
proofs of real honest merit; and thus it is
that the james Boss Gold Watch Case has
its imitators. Buyers can always tell the
genuine by the trademark Of crown, from
which is suspended a pair Of .,,or y Msx
scales. Be sure ROTH crown and ~ & q
scales are stamped in the cap of the watch
case Jewellers are very cautious about en-
dorsing an article unless they not only know
that it is good, but that the character of
the manufacturers is such that the quality
of the goods will be kept fully up to standard.
