This was question put by a Mail and
Express reporter to several city butchers
and the invariable answer was "No." A
search of the neighborhood usually fire.
quentcd by Mongolians led to the dis
covery of one in the rear of No. Mott
street, by the side of the building oc-
cup'ed by the Wo Kee Company. Sitting
on a rough board suspended between
two large wooden blocks sat Sam Wah,
hard at work cutting up pieces of fat
and rinds taken from pork loins. After
good deal of speculative conversation
he managed to explain his manner of
conducting business. He makes daily
visits to the American butcher shops in
the neighborhood and buys up ali the
pork, fat and trimmings in the market.
He usually adds to his basket load any
bargains in the shape of flank and shin
pieces of beef he can find. This stock
he carries to his little cellar shop and
carefully sorts into different grades.
Every evening economical Chinese
laundrymen come from all parts of the
city TO his emporium and purchase
enough provisions to last them for
several days. Mr.. Wah further explained
that in the matter of prices he can under
sell any pork butcher in New York, but
admitted, with rare candor, that his
stock was not exactly suitable for the
tastes of Fifth avenue millionaires. He
stated that he had been engaged in this
business i'll San Francisco aud that it was
only a matter of time when the Chinese
would make deep inroads into the pro
vision sindustry of this city. 1t only
needed, he said, the arrival of few hun
dred more Mongolians to set in motion
scheme which the residents of Mott
street have now in contemplation. As
to the nature of this economic scheme he
was very seriously silent, but gave the
inference that it was in the meat line.

An Inrnnions Chinesn Clo1k.

A New Orleans gentleman has Just re-
ceived from San Francisco wonderful
piece Of workmanship, which is striking
evidence Of the patience, skill, and in
genuity of the natives Of the Celestial
Empire. IL is in the form OF an egg,
but little larger than turkeys, and, to
outward appemance, nothing but such
an egg as might be picked up in any
farmyard. But inside of the shell there
is such a delicate mechanism that an ac-
curate description of it is we'll nigh i'm
possible, and to get fair idea of the
limits to which human skill may reach il
is necessary to see this marvel. The egg
shell is divided into two pats, but so
closely and skilfully are they joined that
the naked eye fails to discover the line of
junction. The tiny works by which its
different parts are operated are a Let of
microscopic springs and diminutive
wheels, so small that the largest of the
lot hardly rivals in size those small
spangles which are used in gold lace en-
broidery.
The arrangement is such that once in
each hour the two shells. which are
hinged at the base, fly apart with q
spring, displaying to view a gorgeous
tulip, so artistically and truthfully col
ored that one can hardly believe it has
not been plucked from flower bed in
stead of being production of art The
petals of the tulip slowly unfold, open
ing one after the other, until the flower
is full blown. Within it stands a wee
church, with belfry, on the outside of
which is small dill plate, where the
tiniest hands point the hour. The latter
arc so very small that, pla ed next to
them, the finest needle seems moustrous.
The hour strikes with fairy like tinl<-
ling, the church slowly revolves on its
axis, when the rear comes to view, ex-
posing the works to the sight. Then the
petals of the tulip fold to ether again,
the shells of the egg rcjoin, and for
another hour the whole seems 10 the
uninitiated behoder nothing but a COM
mon egg. .-Ne,c Orleans Times.

Fashionable Women's Whims.

The extent to which money is wasted
on fashionable woman's whim was H.
lustrated to me the other day. was in
the shop of wcll-known florist on
Broadway when lady came in from a
private coach. She purchased three
huge roses, for which she paid $5, and
carried them daintily away by their long
stems. An hour later, going by Del
monico's, | saw my lady of the roses
lunching at one of the windows with a
companion of her own sex. Fifteen
minutes afterward, returning by the
same way, noted That the table where
they sat was vacant Three bare rose
stems lay am d the dishes, which were
buried in rose leaves. The lady of the
roses had plucked s. worth of flowers to
pieces in a few minutes idle conversation
after her luncheon Neither their cost
nor their beauty had any value in her
eyes.
Speaking of flowers this same florist
Informed me that at dinner given in
this city less than a month ago the sup
ply of roses for the table alone cost the
host II round $500. Quite neat sum to

the soil rich as deep as ploughed. A thin
SOIL may be made deep by deep plough
ing and sub.soiling; by loosening the
soil by the use of sub-soil plough, the
surface soil is washed down by rains and
becomes incorporated with the sub
soil, making a rich deep soil, more
valuable for all purposes than thin soil.
Plant food exists in the earth to great
! depths. The roots of many plants go
down TO the depth of many feet Lucerne,
1t is said, will send it's roots to the depth
of ten to twenty feet. The various ele-
ments of plant food found in the earth
arc attracted TO the surface in the great
est quantities by keeping the soil mellow
to good depth, and this is done by
deep plowing and sub-soling. Beside
the plant food contained in the earth
there is also stored in the air large
amounts of plant food, the use of which
by plants is greatly facilitated by keep
ing the soil loose and moist. Deep plow-
ing therefore favors the appropriation of
plant food under all possible conditions
of soil and air.
BY keeping the soil loose to a good
depth, the loss of crops in extremes of
seasons will be avoided. In seasons of
drought moisture is maintained by an
open and mellow soil, and when exces-
sive rains prevail the water passes away
readily from the roots of the growing
crop. Deep plowing therefore is great
advantage under ali circumstances and
at all times. While shallow plowing not
only fails to produce good crops in a
general way, but, if practiced any length
of time, will result in rendering the soil
unproductive, and this condition will be
increased from year to year until paying
yields can no longer be realized. In shall
low plowing the soil is simply turned
over, and Will soon become as compact
as before plowed.
BY repeated tramping by the team the
becomes hard and is impenetra-
bic 10y rains leaving an excess of mos
ture to iniure the plants by remaining in
contact with their roots and so prevent
ing growth. The action of the air on
the soil produces no desirable effect and
and plant food can not be at
tracted to the surface from depths be-
low. All crops require moisture and
must be supplied with the needed amount
Of plant food, and mellowness of the soil
ensures both.-Rdciae AgTTculturist.

A Chnnter From Renl Life.

In the largest and most splendid me.
tropols of our country; the centre of our
, wealth and commerce; a city which is
| the most gorgeous outcome Of our snowy
| civilization, there was enacted, tho other
day, tragedy we'll calculated to make
the angels weep and men blush with
| shame.
A wretched workingman and his wife.
living in miserable attic, found them
selves out Of work. They parted little
by little with everything that could be
pawred, and the man tramped the
streets wearily day after day begging,
not for for money or bread, but for
work. Night after night, when he re-
turned unsuccessful his brave wife with
mighty effort threw off her sadness
and greeted him with forced cheerful
ness. 1t was of the utmost importance to
keep up the breadwinner's spirits, and his
wife never gave way to her despair in his
presence. There was baby too, to be
thought of, and even when the last penny
bad been spent the neighbors heard the
woman singing to the child and its father.
For days after the money was all gone
the little family managed to i've. At
night the woman slipped out and picked
up crusts Of bread and other scraps of
food. But this could not go on forever.

that it would be a blessed escape from
the selhshness and inhumauity of man

They succeeded in obtaining little
poison, and they died together. They
Id not have the heart to kill the baby.
Half crazed as they were, they thought
perhaps that people would look tenderly
upon the orphan of such frightful
tragedy, and give it bread instead of

and simple annals of the poor are full of
just such horrors. atlanta Constitution.

Care For the Pigs

Pigs arc rather apt to scour till they

they beg TO feed OF the sow, SAYS a
farmer in the New York 7ribune, an
even teaspoonful of oil meal per day for
each pig, given in warm milk. may
prevent an attack of scours, which are
liable to take place even when sucking.
But one of the best things | have found
TO stop scours is to give oats Rail or
slat up a space in the pen sua ciently
large to accommodate the pigs, and leave
a hole for them to enter easily. Make
the railing so high and strong that the
SOW cannot break in, and then put low
trough there and fill it partially full of
oats. Allow the pigs to eat as much as
they will and often as they please, and it

means must be resorted to for curing

To Secure EARLY Tnmntnns-

II is very desirable to secure this i'm.
portant and valued product of the gar
den as early as may be, and its growth
may be advanced by starting by artificial
means. II a hot-bed is not one of the
farm conveniences, as it ought to be.
young plants may be started in the house
in boxes, although better way is to
make use of empty tin fruit cans from
which both ends have been removed.
Place the cans in a shallow box and fill
them with a sufficient quantity of earth
of only average fertility. If too rich the
tendency of the plants is to grow too
rapidly and spindlng. Plant two or
three seeds in each can, or enough to
secure one good, healthy plant. See tn t
the soil is kept sufficiently moist. and
when the plants get we'll started pinch
off the terminal bud so as to cause them
to grow more stocky and to prevent a
too tender condition. When the season
is sufficiently advanced to admit of ITS
being done with safety, slip the tins from
the contained earth and set the plants in
soil of average fertility with a supply
OF fertilizing material in the hill. In
this way a considerable advance NAV be
secured over planting after the soil is in
suitable condition for average planting.

A Place for Everything.

The importance of having a place for
every tool and article about the farm,
and never failing to have that place
filled, is only realized by that man who
has observed that habit closely for suf-
hcient time TO calculate upon the saving
thus occaSsioned. To drep tool where
1t is last used is habit sure to result in
serious injury, 1t is told of a certain
man, as fact, that coming home late
one evening he took the harness off of
the horse in the yard and threw it on
the ground He put the horse in the
barn, left the carriage out-of- doors as
usual and went to sleep, perfectly soLer
but very tired. During the night q
storm came and the snow blew into great
heaps. When it was necessary to ride
out, the sleigh was found in another
corner of the yard Ghe only carr age
house on the farm, the uncombed horse
brought from the barn, but wide search
revealed no harness, and it could not
be remembered when it was last used
or where left. An old halness was
brought into use, and it was not until
spring suns had melted the snow
that the harness was discovered, where
1t had rested during the winter The
bars are down on this farm and every
where one stumbles over something that
remains near the place where it was last
used. The farm is an eye-sore, and if
put on the market to-day, though in an
excellent location, would find it difficult
10 get a purchaser.
Another farmer is recalled, by way of
contrast, who started with poorer pros
pects than the one Just considered He
kept an orderly tool house, and each
child, or employe, was strictly charged
to see to it without fail, that tool when
used was promptly cleaned and restored
10 its place. He was an indulgent fa-
ther, and the children feared but one
thing, the misplacing of any tool, which
would be certain TO incur their fathers
displeasure. This habit has its beneficial
results. 1t has saved money 1t has
saved time, and to-day if the farm,
though but ordinarily situated, was an
nounced as for sale it would bring a high
price. "Order is heavens first law"
and the sooner the farmer or any other
person puts himself in harmony with il
the better. -Pl0ugimdn.

Natural Electricity Discovered.

Considerable excitement has been
caused by the discovery of electricity in
the water works well at Lebanon, Mo.
Some time ago, during the dry weather,
the Frisco Company put pump in the
well, but before Connection was made
with their tank water was plenty and
the well was abandoned An attempt
was made to remove the pump, when it
was found some part of the pump was
fast to the piping, which extends down
about 800 feet. 1t was also found that
by the application of small steele articles
that the pipe is highly magnetic and
steel readily adheres to it. The well is
1900 feet deep, and has 800 feet of
water in it. 1t has filled in and been
drilled out three times.

Curing Grass.


| once laid up a NOW of timothy and
redtop, with small percentage of
clover, writes a correspondent of the
Neao England Farmer. One part of the
hay was cut rs soon as the herdergrass
was In bloom; the rest in the same field
was allowed to ripen. The early cut hay
produced milk and growth without meal.
When it was half gone we changed to
the late cut hay and fed the whole NOV.
The stock survived the change, but when
the early cut hay was resorted to again,
began to show signs of life, and the
growth and milk produced was all in
favor OF the early cut hay. l have often
regretted that the figures were not pre-
served, but | have the experience and
shall not soon forget it, and shall never
doubt the value of hay cut in the first
part OF July nor the almost worthlessness
OF September grass. An important mat
ter to consider is the condition of the field
after the hay is removed. That portion
OF the moving which cut early started
heavy aftermath and held out to
several good crops of hay in subsequent
years, while the latter cut portion failed
much sooner. Hay may be cut too soon,
but had only one piece of grass to cut,
that would be cured us soon as the stalks
had attained the natural growth and be-
gun to show by blossoming that the
further efforts of nature would not be
IN the making of hay, but in the repro
ductIon of plant life, by perfecting seed.
Hay. seed is good feed, but costs too
much by the bushel. All grasses native
to our soil and all weeds aud other
coarse patter in the hay is of far greater
value cured before the deposit OF bitter
matter in the fodder.
