On account of the dampness of the
ground, us have said, it is impractical
bic to dig ordinary graves. and still
everybody cannot afford to go to the ex-
pense of building a vault. So graves or
narrow vaults are built above ground.
In the iiremen's cemetery, for instance,
(and the same in all the others rows Of
brick graves are built, one above an
other, generally three or four tiers high,
for all the world like pigeon holes i'll a
postoiiicc, and each opening just large
enough to take in n caiiin. With a solid
brick wall at the back and n marble slab
to be cemented into the front of each
cell as soon as it is occupied, these elc-
waited graves hold the greater part of
New Orleans population of the last cen
tury or so, and protect their occupants
from the dampness that must have
proved very prejudicial to their health
if they had been buried in the ordinary
manncr.-Cor. New York Times.

correspondent who much enjoyed the
ceremonies. The passengers of the

where great stone tubs, half full of hot

A + of the leading men in the sem
ate and house of representatives are begin
ming to talk sense in respect to the admls-
sion of the two great, prosperous and in
every way noble territories of Dakota and
Washington, and there is apparently some
chance that even in the hurry of the
present short session one or both of them
may be admitted into the Union. Judged
by any lust standard they would imme-
diately step above Nevada, Delaware and
Florida in rank among the states, whila
the next federal census will doubtless put
Dakota above Vermont. New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Colorado and possibly
Maine, Arkansas, Oregon and West Nir-
GINA in population. Even if the big
territory should be divided. both halves
would % o take a very respectable posi-
ton among the older commonwealth.
As for Washington. there are many well
informed persons who believe that it will
surely surpass an undivided Dakota in the
long run and ultimately stand among the
dozen states which rank first in population
aud importance. The ihirty-ninih and

In modern times the inspiration to neat
ness usually comes from the mother of
the family, If she is a slattern, woe to
the household. Everything in it ia at
loose ends. Everybody is uncomfort-
able and unhappy. The o go forth
into the world without having learned
one Of life's most important lessons.
The daughters are not to be sought in
marriage unless they have had the
strength of character to rise above the
influence in which they have beer born
and bred. There can be no elegance
without neatness, and q home richly
adorned where there is refuse in all the
corners and the accumulated dust OF
seasons behind the bureau and under the
bed is worse than pharisaical, more dis
gushing even than the cup and platter
externally fair to the sight, but within
full of all u%ncleanness. Some persons are
like the Scriptural cup and platter, their
outer clothing neat, but the undercloth-
ing rarely changed and their persons
strangers to the bath tub. 1t is a pleas
ure to say that the class is rare in Amer
lea and becoming rarer. The hygiene
of the bath and the comfort, the esthetic
value even, of %neatness, is well under
stood. Further thar this it is a matter
of personal pride among us.
In this country clean shirts are the
rule and the bath tub is a much used in
stitution ever in the houses of Amer
lean mechanics. In the matter of per-
sonal ~neatness a man offends oftener by
carelessness in regard to spots on his
clothing and the whiteness of his linen.
The first comes from n careless habit of
feeding. The last is the result Of simple
neglect or lack of fine instinct. The
first is especially unnecessary when
there are SO many simple and cheap
detersives. Lethim keep a bottle of one
of these on his bureau, and when he
sees a spot on his coat let him address it
MS Lady Macbeth addressed the imagin-
airy blood stains on her hands. Then
let him quickly apply the defensive, and
the offending spot will disappear as if
by magic. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that the frequent use of the clothes
brush is imperative. A woman oifends
oftener in the matter of gloves; yet kid
gloves are easily kept clean, either by
the owner or by the professional glove
cleaner.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Shanghai is one of the "horsiest"
places ON the nee Of the globe. There
is no evidence that it is fond of horse
shows, but there are two great racing
cs.rnivals in the year, of three days each,
ard when all Shanghai is not engaged
in trimming and betting for these events,
polo, drag hunting, paperchasing and
stceplechasing fill up the time. The
most influential clique is the %"oreymen, "

The CURSE OF CHINA.


Il - -
In the TIowory Kingdom.
The growers of opium in India are
much alarmed over the rapid decrease
in their exports to China. The poppy
fields of the flowery Kingdom are
driving the foreign product from the
market. There is Il law in China for
bidding opium raising, but it has been n
dead letter ever since England, SIMPLY
because she was deriving an annual in
come Of So, 900, 900 from the tax on In
dian opium, forced China to reopen her
markets to the drug.
Opium growing for several years past
has been rapidly increasing in China.
About one-tlird of the cultivated land
in Yuunan is now devoted to poppy
raising. Travellers describe the valleys
of southwestern China as white with
poppy blossoms. China is now raising
about two thirds of all the opium she
consumes. Other foreign opium is com
ing into competition with the Indian
product. The Mozambique Opium com
pany is putting 80, 900 acres of land in
the lower Rambesi valley into opium,
and the African product is already sell
ing in the Shanghai market.
Meanwhile the curse of opium smok-
ing weighs more heavily every year
upon the people of China. One-iifth of
the population of Pekin and Tientsin are
opium smokers. 1t is said that 5000 of
the attaches of the imperial palace are
victims of the terrible habit in spite of
the act that the Chinese government
discourages the practice. There are n
number Of native anti-opium societies,
which are doing a work in China SINH
lar to that of III temperance unions
here. The government has also estab-
lished "A large number of refugees, where
victims of the opium habit may go for
treatment. Sedatives, %stimulants, and
tonics are administered to cure them of
the vice.
Great Britain herself is likely soon to
suffer some of the evils with which she
has helped to curse China. In parts of
India the opium habit is making alarm
ing progress among the natives. The
Marquis Tseng called attention to this
fact in n letter to the Anti Opium soci-
ETY. of England the other day. He
added that if Great Britain would put n
stop to the expectation of opium from
India, China would effectually stop the
growing of opium within her territor-
les. lie said China was willing to CO.
operate with Great Britain in striking at
the root of the evil.-New York Sun.

The unprecedented sale of BoscLccs
German Sy'ur, within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is, without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and chectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the s~cvcrcst
lung troubles. II acts on an entirely diff
ferent principle from the usual prcscrip.
tons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in II purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, n cents, large

THE COMING cIrY ELECTION.

On the second Tuesday of January next
the citizens of Cheyenne will elect a mayor
to serve for one year, and three aldermen
for three years. 1t is not too carly, there
fore, to canvass the field for candidates
for these positions. At present the Dem
o%crats, so far as a Republican court would
permit it, have control of the administra-
ton of the city's affair. The mayor is a
Democrat. and seven of the nine alder
men are Democrats. OF the retiring
councilmen. two, Harrington and Finne-
gan, are Democrats, and one, Riner, is a
Republican. No matter who nay be
chosen 10 succeed these gentlemen, the
city council will remain Democratic during
the ensuing year. The Democrats who
elected their candidate for mayor last year,
were cheated out Of the legitimate result
of their victory by the well known ten
aclty of the court house ring, who would
not let go Of the city offices held by APP
Dointment Of the mayor. The leader of
the gang, when removed from Office, re-
fused TO quit and the court sustained him.
This being a test ease, the other Repub-
lican officials also remained in Office. The
two years term Of these men has now cx-
pired, however, and the new administra-
ton will, therefore, have the power to
appoint a new set Of officials. Conse.
