A Novelty in Chinatown.

NEW YORK, July 23-Pedestrians up and
down Chatham street, or, as it is now
known, Park row, have noticed an unu-
sually large number Of Cinnamon arrayed
in holiday attire passing in and out of
the narrow hallway of POP Mott street. It is
not an imposing looking entrance; it opens di.
rectly upon steep stairway, and the only sug-
gestive feature is strip of red paper over the
doorway, which looks as though it was label
torn off a package of ire-crackers. It bears the
name of Joss" and tells the devouty inclined
Celestial that the temple is up stairs Early last
week the new interior fittings of the temple, the
alar. tables and chairs, arrived here from China
and were put in place. Now the unpretending
third floor of 202 Mott street contains some Of
the finest specimens of Chinese art in this city
The altar is OF carved ebony, practically a large
frame for the picture of joss and his attendant
deities, executed on satin in the most elaborate
style of Chinese art, and heavy table for hold
ing the incense burners and yotive offerings AS
whole the carvings represent the universe;
along the bottom, under the table, is the sea,
with fish. aquatic plants. and the huge turtle
upon which, according to Chinese mythology.
the earth is supposed to rest. From each side
rise trees. shrubs and heavily carved foliage,
with birds and animals among the branches
The branches interlock over tho top, and the
whole is backed with heavy plate glass mirrors,
representing Inc heavens GOlCkly STUDDED
with golden stars. The chairs and tables are in
the same style of rich Oriental carving and the
room is lighted by carved lanterns hanging from
the ceiling. The walls hung with Chinese
notices, the air is heavy with incense, and it is
hard to believe that we are in New York and not
in Cathay.
The whole affair cost the Chinese residents of
New York between Sc 900 and So, 900, and is en-
tirely self-supporting.
They have queer features in their religion
which was quantity explained to me by the old
priest in charge. / noticed that a large proper
ton of the worshipers would come in, make their
obeisance to the altar, burn few prayer sticks
and go out Some, however. remained longer
time and gave the priest sums varying from
twenty five cents to a dollar. In response to
my inquiry he said:
"a man can say all he wants to in three min
utes, SO he have three minutes for nothing if ne
have good deal to say, he pay 25 cents for next
three minutes so for next three. and so on. No
good TO pray too long" Then he added. after a
moments reflections SIN Mclean church man
talks an hour and everybody pray two hours or
two hours and half, then make collection beg to
pay minister Chinese way, 500 or 600 people
pray two hours; we make two or three thousand
dollar" The system strikes me as good one.
1t pays the expenses Of the temple and discour-
ages garrulity. With its dingy exterior the Chi
of New York have now one of the most
richly furnished places of worship in the city

mnNEY no EE MADE.

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the great publishing
house of George Stinson & Co., OF Port
land, Maine. The reason of this excep-
tional success is found in the fact that
they always give the public that which is
keenly appreciated and at prices that all
can afford. At present we understand,
their agents are doing wonderfully well
on several new lines. They need many
more agents in all parts of the country.
Those who need profitable work should
apply at once. Women do as well as men.
Experience is not necessary, for Messers.
Stinson & Co. undertake to show all who
are willing to work, not hard but earnest
ly, the path to large success. 1t should
be remembered that an agent can do a
handsome business without being away
from home over night. Another advan-
tage-it costs nothing to give the bust
ness trial, and an agent can devote all
his time, or only his spare moments to it.
Stinson & Co. guarantee grand success to
all who engage and follow simple and
plain directions that they give. We have
not space to explain all here, but fnll par
