MARKETING IN CHINA.
Work That Requires Considerable

Work That Requires Considerable
S~hrewdness and Perseverance.
A Chinese market is noisy and ami
mated. You ask the price of shad, for
instance, or of crabs, and the dealer
raises the price of an ounce by so
many cash, which you have to bat
down. What Adam Smith called the
''higgling of the Market exists here
in its perfection. After wasting con-
siderable time in talking and splitting
differences, you at last decide to buy
or the trader concludes to sell. But
however much you may congratulate
yourself on having made a good Der
gain, you can not be certain ttaS 9TH
crs may not make much better bar.
gains with the same man. Vegetables
are sold by other dealers, and the same
process must be gone through before
you can II axe a fair purchase. Gro
Gerry stores are plenty. and there
you will find on sale all sorts OF
sauces, preserves. sugars and so forth.

pecially because the OK is used in
blowing. Occasionally you will find a
stall for the sale of beef. Through
the same prejudice little cows milk is
used by the people. and that little is
made into thin cakes, we'll salted, tn

But a kind of cheese is made of bean
curd. The beans are ground in hand
mills and dissolved in water. then
strained and steamed. The result is
a perfectly white cake, something like
blanc-mange. 1t is eaten with shrimp
sauce. This cake is also dried. There
is also a sauce made from beans
You perhaps wonder why have not

JAPAN'S TOY HOUSES.
Little Structures That Are Easily Made

The Japanese get their share OF
adventure by flood. although their
disasters in the rainiest season are
small things compared to the recent

habitable the valley where 2 000, 600
people lived. The big figures j in Japan

whole house is in flames in an instant.
Without any thing of a breeze to fav-
or it the flames leap from house to
house, and soon a whole quarter is
blazing. Each time a burned district
is rebuilt the streets are widened. and
this has prevented many
worse CONGREGATIONS following. Wild

way of stcmming a fire is to tear down
the houses in advance Of the flames.
and it IS done as easily as a child

cards. A rope is fastened to one OF
the upright corner posts, the crowd
gives one pull. and there is a crash

but believing that these four dogs
ought TO be able to get away with one
wolf, and as the contest promised to
be worth more than the wolf pelt we
prevented the trapper's interference.
At the beginning of the fight the dogs
were not particularly anxious to rush
matters. but circled around the snap
ping and snarling beast cautiously,
watching for a chance to give him an
occasional nip on the flank by way Of
keeping him in proper temper. The
VOLTS tactics were so mastery and
his movements so quick that he seemed
to keep his front to each n Of the
dogs constantly. although they were
on all sides Of him. He did not hest.
tate to rush upon a dog. which he did
with savage fury. but instantly he
would be seized from behind by an
other one, and like q fash would turr
on him. At last the taste of the wolf
blood the dogs had got from thei1

on to more decisive action. and, as i

of the four sprang simultaneously
upon the wolf. One of them sprane

out of him in a second. Two Of the
dogs had succeeded in getting a hol,

The third dog caught the wolf in tn

wolf dashed them against the rock

A Nuisance the world Over.

By written request of an Omaha
lady we produce the following from
the Montreal Gazette:
A lady friend sends in q request
which can best be voiced by using
her own language, which is as
follows:
Mr.. Editor: A lady wishes to say
q few words to the grocery merch-
ants, and really it is a delicate sub
ject to handle. You know it is near
the time when our grocerymen set
their vegetables outside on the
pavement, and do you know there
are many tall dogs in town, and
and it operates as though they drank
from Saratoga Medical Springs.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you must know
what / mean to say. and if you will
help me out you will do the public
a great favor. What we want is the
vegetables in boxes, or in other
words "above high-water mark"
For the good of woman and man
kind, the grocers will please attend
to it. Those wire screens they use
over baskets and barrels are not
d" water tight" This is a delicate
matter, but you know when a lady
goes shopping for cabbage and beets
she doesn't like to be obliged to get
peas also. Please put it in shape so
as to offend nobody.
