One WOman's Motto.

correspondent of the Portland Transcript,
in an article on "Common Sense in the
Kitchen" thinks that many times when fault
is found with poor cooks the trouble will be
found to be in the materials they have to
work with. Young men who complain that
their wives do not cook as their mothers did
seldom stop to think that perhaps the quality
or quantity of the materials would not COM
pare favorasly with those of their mothers.
No woman, young or old, can make as good
cake with one egg and lard as she can with
plenty of eggs and butter. Any woman with
an ordinary amount Of Homework can get a
dinner punctually; but the goodness of it
must depend. in great measure, on what the
man has provided. Ii the writer believed in
notices, make not cleanliness your god, "
TO the exclusion of comfort, would be one she
would propose.

According to Washin gton despstch to
the New York Sun. the Chinese govern
ment first offered to place the loan of $40.-
100000. for the purpose of constructing
Chinese railroad. among New York
bankers. They were too timid to under
take the work, and the agent departed for
England. where. 1t is said, he raised the
money at once. Had the American bank
ers accepted the offer the iron industries
of this country would have been stimu-
lated to the extent of $27 200, 900. And
more than this. 1t appears the Chinese
government proposes q still further loan
of $500, 900. 900 for similar purpose, and,
therefore, hid America obtained foot
hold 10 China we should have stood fair
chance to secure the lions share of this
work. If once the prejudice against rail-
roads is fairly overcome in China. the
railway system will be rapidly extended.
Nor will the extension stop until the &C.
lestial Empire is opened up to modern
civilization.

When the miners OF Rock Springs,
Wyoming Territory, made their murder
Gus attack on the Chinese some days ago.
they did not think. probably. that the re-
suits would be specially serious to them
selves. But the official representatives of
the Chinese in America. who are pursuing
the investigation Of the affair with charac-
teristic patience, declare that they will
compel the Federal courts to try the ring
leaders and punish them. 1t may be an
unpleasant day for the attacking miners if
the Federal courts ever do get grip on
them. Federal justice generally makes
shorter work with malefactors than State
or Territorial courts.

While there are no indications of gen.
eral business boom, the reports from COM
mercial and industrial centres continue to
indicate general Improvement. The grain
trade continues brisk, although wheat
sales are dull. owing to a slack foreign
demand. There is little doubt that we are
to have the largest corn crop on record.
There has been a gain in the employment
of surplus funds. but bankers generally
manifest no anxiety to employ their idle
capital at the prevailing low rates of in

One of the most noticeable of the indus

enormous increase during the last FIVE

792. 45o. or. in other words. it is more than
three times as great as it was in 1880.
The growth of this industry is almost I'M
paralleled. and is the more remarkable
when it is RENE mbered that it is but few
years since cotton seed was regarded by
planters as nuisance.
