Chinese I'm aigratiOn.

Collector of the Pit Sears has pre-
pared a report of the Chinese arrivals
at this port from foreign ports from
Aug. 8, 1882, to Dec. 81, 1884, of which
the following is synopsis: Total
number landed, 16, 124; 1906 as per-
manent residents and 6,769 in transit.
In 1882, "a merchants were landed; in
1888, 1877 came ashore, and in 1884,
$50 were admitted. Early in 1884 the
issue of "Canton" certificates to ''tra-
ders'' was suspended. But since De-
cember, 1888, the ratio of merchants
and "other than laborers" reported as
landed is about one to every nine la.
borers. The certificates issued here to
Chinese "other than laborers" are
very few. According to the report.
''the first year of restriction brought
nine Chinese classed as laborers, and
twenty-four classed as 'other than la
borers,' who were here landed. The
second year saw the real beginning of
an increasing business, bringing fees
into the pockets of lawyers, clerks of
the court, United States commission
ers, United States marshals, United
States district attorneys, Chinese court
interpreters, stenographic reporters,
and large number of Chinese, and
the last named have regular organ
ization for and are doing a regular
brokerage business in beating re-
striction.' The fees in the Chinese
habeas corpus cases heard in the fed
eral courts in the twenty-five months
reported, exclusive of the fees to law
yers and Chinese interpreters, and dis
tributed exclusively among federal
court officials, aggregate the sum of
S19,488, or practically 1912 per
month" From 1882 to 1884 the Chi.
nese were admitted as follows: Gus
tom-house certificates, 6,522; Chinese
government certificates, 676; attaches

consular certificates, 1913; Chinese con-

Harness Backing.

The National Harness Rerittc re
commends the following, saying
that it will keep the leather soft and
if properly applied, give good
polish:
The ingredients are three ounces
of turpentine, two ounces of white
wax, to be dissolvedtogether over a
slow fire; then add one ounce OF
ivory black and one dram of indigo,
to be we'll pulverized and mixed to
gether. When the wax and the
turpentiue are dissolved, add the
ivory black and the indigo, and stir
till cold. Apply it to the harness
very thin, and brush well afterward,
and it will give "a most beautiful
polish.
Another good black is made of
one dram of bone black, sixty drops
of concentrated hydrochloric acid,
twelve drains Of alcohol, and one
half drains of gum arabic, and three
ounces of water.
A good soap for general use can
be made OF CASTLE and lampblack;
melt the soap and mixed in the
black while warm. Three parts
crown soap and lone part lampblack,
all by weight, heated and mixed
thoroughly, make an excellent har,
ness soap.
Apiline black sh ould not be used
