The Chinaman's Moral Ledger,

A good Chinaman, after his days work.
opens his moral ledger, so the Rev. DR..
Du Bose informs US. Here are few Of
the items which he can write down to his
credit: Ten points because he paid his
fathers debts; 100 because when he was
rich he married deformed Cugly0 girl to
whom he was betrothed when poor. For
lending an umbrella it was only
point; for having saved the lives of 100
insects, point; for having picked up
grain of rice, point; for not having
eaten beef or dog for one year, points:
for having destroyed immoral books, 800
points. Now per contra: To have loved
his wife more than his father and mother
is TO dock himself not less than 100 points.
To have seen immoral theatricsls figures
against him as 10 points. II he got drunk
that was points to the bad. Because he
drowned baby only 90 points. If he
had issued counterfeit money that would
have made his loss 100 points. To dig up
a worm in winter is point more to the
bad. He might split his sides when he
saw an ugly person and be charged 8
points.-New York Times.

Making Bottoms Ont of Blood.

The country is learning to utilize waste
Making buttons Of blood is in this direc-
ton. There is a large factory in Bridge
port, near Chicago, employing about 100
men, boys and girls, in which waste ami
NAL blood is converted into buttons. The
same firm has another large factory else
where. A man named Hirsch was the
first to introduce the business in this
country some years ago. He lost Sic, 900
the first six months, but stuck to it. and
now he is immensely wealthy. There are
a number of similar factories in England
From 5000 to 10000 gallons of blood are
used in the Bridgeport factory every day
Nothing but fresh beef blood is used.
Considerable of the blood evaporates
during the process of drying, but what
remains is pure albumen. Some of it is
light in color and some dark, according to
the chemical treatment given it. These
thin sheets Of dried blood are then broken
up, and are ready to be worked into vari-
Gus shapes and sizes. Large quantities of
the blood sheets are used by cloth manu-
facturers for setting" the color in calico
goods. Not only are buttons made from
blood in this way, but tons of earrings,
breastpins, belt clasps, combs and trinkets
are made annually there from blood. 1t
is queer, odoriferous business, but
paying one.-Philadelphia Bulletin.

Unoer the heading of 1.-The Diet of
Strong Men, you say: The coolie fed on
rice is more active and can endure more
than the negro fed on fat meat"
This is not at all the case in the British
colony of Demerara, on the northeast
coast of South America. There the COO
lies, who are imported from India, are the
least robust of the three races employed
as laborers. They are not at all muscu-
lar, and are employed in hoeing the crops
and i'll similar light labor The China
men, who are never called coolies there,
are stronger, and they, too, are employed
in the crops, and also in mechanical and
general labor. But the heavy work. the
digging of bitches, the handling of heavy
timbers, etc, is always done by negroes.
No planter viii employ coolie in such
work, for his muscular strength is not
equal to it, nor to any severe labor.
The Coolie does not confine his diet to
rice, nor the negro his to meat. In De
merara the chief food of the laborer is salt
Goldfish and plantains. The coolie proba-
bly, eats more rice and less meat than the
negro, but in other respects their food is
about the same.-G. Robertson in Scien-
tiic American.

Preparation of Fancy Articles for the

One Of the signs that the artist is abroad in

The people who had advertised for painters
