SPECIMEN OF CHINESE INGENUITY
Messrs. E. Claudel / Bro. have received
from San Francisco wonderful piece
Of workmanship, which is stricking evil
dence Of the patience, skill and ingenu
ity of the natives OF the Celestial en-
pire. It intended as an Easter offering,
an egg, but little larger than turkey S
and, to outward appearances, nothing
bit such au egg as might be picked up
in any farm yard. But inside the shell
there is such delicate mechanism that
an accurate description of 1t is well nigh
impossible, and to ge5 fair idea Of the
limit to which human skill may reach 1t
is necessary TO see this marvel. The
eggshel is divided INTO two parts, bat
so close and skiilfuiIy 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 lot of microscopic springs and
dimuutive wheels, so small that the
largest of the lot hardly rivals in size
those small spangles which are used il
gold lace embroidery.
The arrangement is such that once in
each hour the two shells, which are
hinged at the base fly apart with a
spring, displaying to view a gorgeous
tulip so artisticallY and truthfully col
ored that one can hardly believe that ii
has not been pluclled from a flower bed
/ instead of being a production Of art.
The petals of the tulip slowly unfold,
opening 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 dial plate, where the
tiniest hands point the hour. The latter
are SO very small that, placed next to
them, the finest needle seems mOnstrous.
The hour strikes with a fairy like tink-
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 together
again, the shells of the egg rejoin. and
for another hour the whole seems to the
uninitiated heboldar nothing but COM
mon egg.-New Orleans Times Demo-

WHERE EGLs ARE CAUGHT -Ve1y
early in the spring meI go out with
spears Ia swampy meadows that border
the little creeks and tread about with
bare feet until they come upon place
where the mud is soft. In such

Of the cells marketed, howegcr-and vast
quantities of them are brought here-are

"bobbing" In other words, they are
fisaed for at night with punches Of

string. Many are caught in traps known
as "eel pots" from which the poor vic

KISS ne, MAMMA, / CAN'T SLEEP. "

punish you, and show you how very,

She stood looking at me, astonish-

mournfUl eyes wide open-I suppose
she had forgotten her misconduct till

INDIANS AND SPANISH FRIARs. The
aborigines never showed any Jealous
faith in Christianity Unlike the neg
roes in the southern states, they took no
delights in singing hymns among them
selves; unlike the Polynesian Christians
they never went out to convert the neigh.
boring heather. When they escaped
from the missions, as they frequently
did, they always left their new religion
behind them. In the course of three
quarters of q century thousands Of such
fugihves fled to the San joaquin and
Sacramento valleys, and to the Sierra
Nevada, and mingled with the wild tribes
without leaving the least trace there of
permanent Christian influence.
The friars did not teach the aborigin-
es to be great mechanics. Among its
Spanish settlers, the territory did not
possess one blacksmith, carpenter,
wheeiwright, shipwright. or turner com
petent to take a respectable position
among his fellow craftmen at the time in
London, Paris or New York. No good
rlow, good wagon, good boat or good
lille was ever made III mission work
shop. The Indians did have an oppor-
unity TO learn thoroughly any mechani-
cal trade, or any Of the finer branches of
horticulture. There was no skilful nur-
serv man among them.-John S. Ilittel

TIE CANAL SYSTEM OF INDIA.-Ima
CINE Illinois and Indiana ramified in ali
directions by canals, the principal ones
aggregatiug thousands of miles in length
and varying in width from forty 20 300
feet. Branching off from these, other
thousand of miles, with volume of
water equal to that of the Erie canal:
from these again yet other branches. and
still other, smaller and more numerous,
until There won!d not be an acre of
ground without ditch. Imagine every
mile Of the larger mains, and almost
every mile of the smaller ones converted
into splendid water avenues by tropic
trees and you gain some idea OF fhe

THE BEST medical writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non irritating, easy of applicat.
ion, and one that will, by its own action
reach ell the remote sores aud liberated
surfaces. The history of the efforts to
treat catarrh during the past few
years obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has completely met these con-
ditions and that is Ely's Cream Balm.
This safe and pleasant remedy has mast
cred catarrh as nothing else has ever done,
and both physicians and patients freely
copcede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it.
