PRICE ONE CENT


An amusing story is told of a charita-
BILE lady here who planned 6 pyrotcchnic
treat the other day for n big orphan asy.
lum just out of town. She invested 500
in rockets, bombs, pinwheels. and moro
elaborate fireworks. such as were best
calculated TO distract tho rinds of be-
reaved youth. A gentleman of her ac-
quaintance was invited TO perform tie
actual setting off of tho combuatiblos,
which, while the display was in progress.
were piled on and around chair in tho
lawn lie mildly suggested that it was
dangerous TO have them SO near while tho
exhibition was being given. bnt the OBJ
lection was overrulod by the hostess on
the ground that il was SO much moro con-
venient TO have them ready ut hand fec
use when wanted. So tho entertainments
proceeded beginning with the lighting of
few Roman candles and other triaes,
which were intended 10 serve as intro
duetory TO the more scrumptious and ex-
pensive fizgigs.
A very few had gone OF, to tho mex
pressible delight of the eleemosynary
small boys and girls seated ON rows OF
camp stools at n little distance, when an
envious spark chanced TO drop upon the
ehai.ful of fireworks aforesaid, and inn
m.diately there ensued catastrophe OF
the most appalling description. For quito
ten minutes the entire landscape was
ablaze. The operator and his assistants
got behind trees to escape the bombs and
rockets, which were discharging them
selves in every direction ut once. while
the nonprojectile pieces formed volcanic
pyre In the midst, vomiting flames with
incessant explosions. At length the erup-
tion came TO an end, and just as the last
Roman candle was sputtering-whil the
generous entertainer and the gentleman
whose aid she had invoked were ruefully
regarding the remains of $400 worth OF
paper and gunpowder-a messenger from
The gathering Of hapless orphans across
the lawn appeared at the scene. Her re-
mark was all that was needed to cap the
melancholy climax:
"That last frework was an awfully
pretty one" said the little girl breath
lessly. "The children want to know Ii we
can have another one next just like 1t. !"

cancer Among vegetarians.

= Surgeon Major Hendley, resident sur
gee4n at Jappore, writes: I'm The British
Medical Journal OF Aprnl-,1. 1883. the fol-
lowing statements are made: M Reclus
has shown that cancer was all but In~
known among the persons whose food
was exclusively vegetable M. Verneuil
also believed that the increase of cancer
was largely due to the carnivorous habits
of diet of the past generation The
records of the Mayo hospital at Jaypore.
which is under my charge, show no such
immunity of vegetarians from cancer.
From January, 1880, to the present date,
102 major operations have been performed
in the hospital in cases of cancer OF
these, Al were on the persons Of meat
eaters and 61 on those of strict yegeta-
rians who had never eaten meat since
their birth.
In India, where caste rules are exceed
ingly rigid, the fact that the latter we're
true vegetarians is absolute proof.
Among them are six Saraogis, class OF
Jains who even reject many kinds OF
vegetables. Three Of these Saraogis suf-
fered from cancer of. tho breast. Out Of
102 cases there were 3deaths attributable
to the operation. There is no informa-
tion available as to recurrence, or the
contrary. The cases were divided as fol-
lows: Cancer of breast 90, tongue or lips
s, head and face II, upper extremity II,
lower extremity 8, trunk IS, testicle /,
glands 8. There were 90 males and 40
females, q large proportion of the latter
in a country where the purdah system is
lii force. The maximum age was 20
years, the minimum 1S years, the average
IS years. British Medical Journal.

The Hotel Registcr Must Go.

The register at some of the fashionable
hotels will soon be among the unused If
not among the forgotten things. There
Is movement ON foot to abolish it en-
tirely, and sooner or later, like good
many other things, it will have to go.
People are buster now than they used to
be, or else they are lazier. Formerly hotel
guests registered their names aAd the
places from which they came with good
deal of accuracy and attention. Now
most of tile public men and generally all
lady travellers decline to allow their names
to appear on the book at all. They simply
give their names and places of residence
TO the clerk, who notes the same and
sticks the little card containing the in
formation in the office rack. The real
object Of the register was to accommodate
the outsider any way, and even in this
respect has fallen into disuse. The
stranger comes in looking for a friend
and consults the book, and nine times
out Of ten If he does not find the name on
the register he turns and asks the clerk If
the person hc seeks is stopping in the
house. This is fast age, and the regis
ter seems to be in the way now on tho
hotel desk.-New York Graphic.

MYSTERIES or THE "wHEY.

Suppose / have an established Laundry,
and want to borrow $500 at certain per
centum premium, but | cannot g nd any
one Chinaman who is able to loan me the
amount. | put up a notice in Mott
street that upon such and such q day /
wish to make whey of twenty men,
who all are supposed to be situated like
myself, each wanting to borrow $500.
When we twenty borrowers all como to-
gether we each put down $40 Th en- each
one secretly writes upon slip of paper
the amount of interest he is willing to
give to get the 5000. These slips are
carefully sealed and thrown into bowl.
At given time they are opened, and to
the highest bidder goes the $500, less the
interest, which is invariably deducted
Immediately from the principal.
frequently as high as $4 is offered for
the use of so for a single month. In
such cases each of the nineteen other bor-
rowers gives to the lucky one only So
apiece for the $40 apiece which they
make him pay next month. Then the
next highest bidder gets the $780, less
the interest he offered, and so on. until
the entire twenty, at twenty different
times, have obtained the use of this $500;
but the one that comes the last, having
offered the least interest Of them all,
reaps the harvest of the whey. This
method is adopted by most Chinese laun-
drymen in New York and other largo
cities to open new laundries. 1t partakes
Of the gaming flavor which is captivating

No Chinaman can transfer his place of
business into the hands of another with
put at least thirty days notice in China
town, on Mott street, and the buyer is
not required to pay him more than half
Of the purchase money until the legal
thirty days are past. This is the laun-
drymens law, made four years ago in
this city, to prevent laundryman from
Rbsconding from his creditors. Upon the
completion Of the thirty days creditors
and debtors must meet at the transferred
laundry, and when call Of the old debts
are iquidated a clear title Of the laundry
