Western Surgery in China.

According to the report of the Med

Canton for 1887, the medical class
numbered twelve Chinese, of whom
four were women. The students are

at twenty dollars year for three
years, over which period the course
extends. They support themselves
and buy. their own books. Western
medicine and surgery are slowly but
surely advancing in China, and it is
now time that schools Of q high order
were established. The publication of
many medical books, the establishing

Attractive Dwellings.

There are houses, like faces, whose
exterior repels or attracts us at once,
we scarce know how or why. Some
look so CHEEKY as we pass that one is
sure that bright spirits are within, al
though there may be no signs of wealth
about the dwelling. Others look cold,
forbidding, as if, should you enter, .
tomb-like chill would strike you. We
imagine one difference with respect to
these houses to be the presence or
lack of the signs of agreeable activity
about the dwelling-the ingress and
egress of occupants interested in
frightening it, because it is dear to
them, plain and unpretending though
it be. In such q habitation you will
not find the chairs pinned formally
against the wall, or the blinds closed,
lest sunbeam should fall on a Curtain
or carpet, or the disagreeable spectacle
Of chandeliers and furniture in per-
petual bagg-comfort, not show, being
the presiding deity Of the house.-M

GROWTH OF LUXURY

The Scale of Comfort Now Deemed Nee
essary by Every Glass.
Prosperity encourages luxury; lux
ury is enervatiug and encourages sloth;
luxury tends to produce, and in. the
worlds history has often produced
National decay. Now, the growth of
luxury for the last half-century has
been very great and very general. We
do not merely mean that the rate of
living has advanced. This of itself is
not necessarily to be deplored in any
class, and in some classes is a matter
for serious congratulation. That an
agricultural laborer, for instance,
should be able to procure more
food, better clothing, better hous-
ing and better education for his
children than he could fifty years ago is
a matter to rejoice over, and a
state of things to secure by every
proper means. What we mean is, that
the scale of comfort deemed necessary
by every class has enormously grown
Take the upper classes. The great
houses throughout the country are
administered in a style the increase of
which is quite disproportionate to the
growth of income of their owners.
The expenditure on far-fetched foods
and most recherche wines, the most
costly amusements, has vastly devel-
oped. And the tendency is ever up
l.
to start where their fathers left off.
Some quarter of century ago there
was discussion in the newspapers as
to tho prudence or otherwise of young
persons in the upper classes marrying
on an income of three hundred year.
Three times that income would be now
considered inadequate by the critics
who conducted the discussion.-Quar-

OLD NAVAL SONGS.
A Vivid Picture Of Sea Life ON tho Ships Of
$500 Former eTiunAa.

A Vivid Picture Of Sea Life ON the ships Of
Former Times.
I doubt whether we shall ever again
have sea songs Of the old pattern. It
is not perhaps that the sentiment OF
the age is opposed to them, though
the old Blackwell and Firth tomfoolery
OF drinking, fiddling and the like
would not perhaps be found very suit
able to the tastes of the day. The
difficulty lies in the dearth of nautical
topics. For my part, I can not UNDER
stand what kind Of opportunities the
navel war of the future is to supply
the nautical song-writer with. There
is nothing poetical in the ironclad,
nothing inspiring. A ship swelling
like q cloud upon the sea, with
cabin-windows flashing, an Admiral
in a cooked hat walking the quarter
gallery, the white hammock-lines Of
the vessels towering defenses dotted
with the red coats of marines, the blue
surge breaking in sheets of silver
against the golden brightness of the
metal sheeting, pretty little midship-
mem in lace and dirks str'utting the
almond-white quarterback, groups of
bronzed and brawny sailors at work,
with chunks of tobacco standing high
under their cheekbones here were
materials to color the poetaster's
meekest jingles, and to put a free and
windy and briny life of their own into
the most halting sing-song that ever
eased the ear. There were twenty
different types of ships to write about;
from that eloud-like pyramid, the four
decker, giving tongues of flame and
voices of thunder to the meaning and
the message of the nation, down
to the little cutter that with
bow and fore-chaser only heightened
the brightness of the annals with
many little sparkling passage. There
were thousand colors, and all were
magical. But marine romance is now
as fiat as though the machinery with
which the iron plate is rolled out had
passed over it. What can there be of
seamanship for the poet to sing of
when the genius of the chase lies in
the revolutions of the engines and in
an amidship helm? There is no
weather-gauge now to maneuver for.
1t matters not to a steamer how the
wind sits. Jack, when he fires his
gun, will keep his shirt on, stand in
side metal tower and let fly at an
enemy two leagues distant. His ship
is as ugly as the dugong. It is not in
poetic art to idealize her. A roaring
old sea son of the type of the ''Saucy
Arethusa," or ''Stand to Your Guns,
My Hearts of Oak" would ring with
but a melancholy note through the in
terror of the armorclad. Indeed, the
extinction of the naval sailing ship is
of necessity the extinction of the naval
song as we understand the expression.

SABBATH-DAY HOUSES.
AN Instructive Glimpse at Life In the Ear1y
Colonial Days.

An Instructive Glimpse at Life in the EarIy
Colonial Days.
Every .one went to church in the
colonial days of New England. Fami-
lies living at distance from the meet
lighthouses came prepared to spend the
intermission between the morning and
afternoon services in the Sabbath day
houses
These houses, according to a descrip-
ton published in Sanford's History of
Connecticut" were small log struct-
ures, twenty-five feet long, ten broad
and one story high. A chimney in the
middle divided the whole space into
two rooms, for the use of the two FAM
lilies who. united in building the house.
The furniture consisted of a few chairs,
"a table, plates, dishes, and some uten-
>sils for warming cooked food. On q
shelf were Bible and two or three re-
ligious books.
In winter, on Sunday morning, be-
fore starting for church, the mother of
the family put up food for dinner, not
forgetting a Jug of cider. The family
rode in a large two-horse sleigh,
stopped at the Sabbath-house, kindled
a fire, and then went into the cold
Westinghouse, where the minister
preached in an overcoat, with mufaer
about his neck, and mittens on his
hands. 4 - ~. ~. 4..
The women carried heated stones in
their muffs, and the men drew bags
over their feet, No chronicler informs
us how the boys and girls managed to
keep warm during the long service.
At the conclusion of the morning
service, the family hurried back to the
warm room of the Sabbath house,
where they took their dinner and drank
their cider from a pewter mug.
Thanks were then returned, and the
review of the sermon began. If the
sermon failed to furnish sufficient mat
ter to occupy the hour, a chapter in the
Bible was read, or few pages from q
religious book. \
Singing and prayer sent them to the
afternoon service in q devotional frame
of mind, at the conclusion of which
they returned to the Sabbath day
house, extinguished the fire, locked the
door, and started tor home. - Youths

RAISING FINE PORK.
We've Of q Farmer Who Thinks There ID
More In Feed Than In Blood.

~4OWb'OA - - aClhHE nO AutuAS hOGO -
More In Feed Than In Blood.
Some think that all they need to
make a success in swine growing is to
have inely-bred animal. fed accord
ing to their belief; If better than the
common run of hogs, twill not take
so much corn to pork it. This is all
right but they don't understand it in
the proper sense. When the common
hog would require ten ears of corn
they would think this one should do
with eight. But the saving of feed
occurs at one end, instead OF I'LL along
the line. Feed the improved pig moro
literally at the start and all the way
through, than you would the old fence
Jumper. He will assimilate more and
be ready for market sooner. The
speed he makes in fattening will 80 far
distance his old-time ancestor that
there will be q saving of feed, 49,.
Again, it is expected of the improved
pig that he will thrive under the most
adverse treatment. Care for him in
any way that is convenient, feed him
when the feed is at hand, and not con-
slider it, matter of necessity that it
always be at hand. Improvement in
the modern pig means not only i'm
provement in the pig, but improve
ment in all things that enter into his
care and makeup. There must be
abundant feed given regularly and of
varied kinds to keep up the appetite.
Besides this it is we'll to remember
that the quality and kind of feed have
much to do with the quality of the
meat produced.
Put a tinely-bred pig in the hands of
"a careless and Indifferent man and he
will soon lose all of his desirable quail
titles. It is so much easier to de-
generate than to build up. Degenera-
tion follows in the wake of more men
than improv ement. A few years of
indifferent work will destroy what it
has taken generations to build up.
Treatment that would wipe out the
modern opig would leave the old
fashioned one q lively grunter. This
only shows the latter's adaptability to
hardships, not his susceptibility to kind
treatment and liberal feeding. The
former without loss of quality is ex-
pected to reach the pork block in about
one-third the time of the latter. Keep
your eyes open; study the needs of your
pigs and prevent loss Of quality.
The best blood lis not always required
to make good meat. Some men make
a desirable p0rker out of mingling of
all the bloods known in a community.
All they want is plenty of bone and
muscle and the points we'll rounded.
While second-rate pig will do we'll in
good hands, a tirst-elass one will do
correspondingly better. A poor pig in
poor hands has a poor show and good
one no better prospects. Fine blood
alone will not make prime pork.-Johm

Sheep Raising.

X. NJ. Bell, of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture, Bureau OF
Animal Industry and specialist in sheep
husbandry, said to a reporter recently:
II am acting under the general author
fly of Commissioner Norman j. Col
man, and the special direction of DR..
D. E. Salmon, chief of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry, in tour of inspection
in the interests of mutton and fleece.
My work embraces the three divisions
of mutton sheep in the agricultural
States, wool in the same, and the fleece
producing West, although, as a matter
of fact, our greatest supply of mutton
comes from Texas. In the eleven
months l have spent in the region east
of the Mississippi suppose have con-
versed with ten thousand wool-growers
on the subject of the tariff as regards
the effect of reduction upon their
interests. Well, found all shades of
opinions. I recall eleven men who
favored free wool, not on party lines,
but because they honestly believed
that their industry would prosper
more and more without restriction.
One man, a Vermonter, and an init
mate friend of mine, said that he had
made up his mind years ago that with
the duty taken off wool the industry
would increase to degree hitherto
unknown. A Virginian thought that
the duty should come off both the
fleece and manufactured product. Yes,
I talked with many Buckeye man.
but never found the first one advo-
eating reduction of wool. I am re-
CURED to prepare a report for the COM
missioner at once, but l don't see how
1 can have it in shape before the LIST of
October. Now, I saw some sheep in
South Georgia, West Florida, Alabama
and Mississippi that caused me to alter
my preconceived notions respecting
sheep husbandry in the South.
They fattened and flourished
there at all seasons on the
native Bermuda and wire grasses,
almost without attention from their
owners. 'Scrub?' Not bit of it;
don't call feeces ranging from four to
four and u half pounds and bringing
the same money as brook-washed Ohio
wool scrub product. These sheep
have been bred 'in-and-in' for years,
and yet despite this exception to all
hereditary rules, produce fine, even
fleece, excellent mutton, and develop
all the traits of sheep that receive the
closest OF attention in other sections of
the Union. The people down there
have in certain sense, been as much
neglected as the sheep-that is to say,
by the Department of Agriculture.
When they learned that Commissioner
Colman had thought it worth while to
investigate their stock-raising indus
tries they almost went wild, and for a
time the commissioner was a bigger
man than Grover Cleveland "-St.

last, or four feet and three inches
above the ground. Next, we drive a
good, stout stake every five or six feet,
and staple the wires to them, and then
nail a three-inch strip of board be-
tween the two upper wires! This board
is to enable the stock to see the fence
and keep them from running into it,
and the fence is not safe without it, as
horses and sometimes cattle will run
into it with such force as to break it
and perhaps injure themselves.
l have used this fence three
years and have never had a
horse or COW get over, under or
