HARRISON'S CELESTIAL FRIEND
DEPARTS.

Hong Toi, a rich Chinese merchant,
has Just died at No. Is Pell street New
York, twelve thousand miles from
home. He was worth $4,000, all Of
which he made in the laundry business,
and all of which, less funeral togqery,
goes back to China. The New York
Herald has quite an elaborate account
of Hong TOTS death; of his last words
on earth. During his last hours a
heather companion read to him from
the works of Confucius, and Mencius,
the Tripiteka of Buddha andthe verses
of Lao Tszee and other famous poets.
He had a splendid picture, in a deco
rated Chinese frame, of General Ben
Harrison, Republican candidate for the
Presidency, hanging above his bed
chamber, which he gazed at with all the
intensity of his Pagan nature.
Hong Toi died with all the calmness
of a true fatalist; firm in his oriental
faith. Here we quote from the New
York Herald:
"To one of his Chinese friends he said
only a few days before he breathed his
last, and when he was almost unable to
articulate: L think | see the dragons
1t was the last he said. Soon after he
sank into what seemed a peaceful
sleep, and saving for his labored breath
ing he gave no further evidence of suf-
fering. Slowly and more slowly he
breathed, until, with a long gasping
sigh, he gave up the struggle and rested.
His only regret seemed to be that he
couldn't live to see "Hallison," tine
Chinee-man's friend, elected President
of the United States"

WHAT are we all coming to? 1t was
yesterday Sunday at Cleveland, ac-
cording to the Leader, that United
States Senator Stockbridge, of Michi-
gan, bet his best stallion, valued at
$4,000, against a broncho, that Harri-
son would be elected President. He
made the bet in the Kennard House,
with a Cleveland Democrat named w.
J.. Chittenden. Now this strikes us as
slightly worse than Sunday base ball.

THE Sanitary Era for July has some
advice on the way to keep cool, which
seems to be worth repeating. The first
conditions are, to avoid excitement and
hurry, and equally to avoid a full and
stimulating diet of meats or drinks.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are the
grand hygienic boon of Nature for the
summer time; but moderation in all
things should be the gift of reason.

WHO says the American hen has no
friends. Yesterday, in the House Of
Representatives, Mr.. Guenther, (Rep)
of Wisconsin, offered an amendment to
the Mills tariff bill, fixing a tax of five
cents a dozen on imported hens eggs.
The amendment was lost, but the prin-
ciple of protection to the American
hen industry, against the pauper hens
of CANADA and the British possessions
received a powerful impetus.

Who never to himself has said:

When | smell cloves on a mans breath
my first thought is, ''That man is a fool"
He thinks he is c%oncealing the smell Of
whisky or some other vile smell, and he
is only advertising it. There is another
reason also why he is a fool. The oil Of
cloves, which is expressed from them by
chewing them, is an active solvent Of the
enamel Of the teeth. Any one who
chews cloves will soou notice that it
makes the teeth tender. That means
that their enamel is disappearing, and
the next step is a m0uthful of decayed
teeth, which all the odors of Araby the
blest can never sweeten. When will
people learn that the sweetest and rarest
smell Of all is no smell at all2--Chicago

latter is being introduced by the mission

it is a deep, rich vegetable loan. In

nothing but long grass obStructs the

with little trouble, yet there are probably
not 100 acres Of these products in cult
