Death md Burial I'm China.

When the Chinese wish to declare the
extreme righteousness of any piece of
work they say: 'It is more trouble than
a funeral;" the obsequies of parent
being reckoned the most maddening
affair in human experience.
Infants are buried summarily, without
collins, and the young are inferred with
few rites; but the funeral of the aged, of
both sexes, are elaborate in proportion b
tho number of the descendants and to
their wealth. When q childless married
man dies, his widow may perform all
the duties of son toward him, may re-
main in his house and may adopt children
to rear as his heirs and worshipers of the
family names. If his widow proposes
marrying again, young male relative
may, with the consent of senior members
of the clan, undertake the services OK
pected from q son and inherit the estate
of the deceased.
moved from his couch to bench or to
a mat on the floor because of a belief
that he who dies in n bed will carry the
bedstead as burden into the next WORLD.
He is washed in new pot in warm
water in which bundle Of incense sticks
is merged. After the washing the pot
and the water are thrown away to-
gether. He is then arrayed in full suit
of new clothing that he may appear in
hades at his best. He breathes his last
in the main room, before the largest door
of the house, that the departing soul may
easily find its way out into the air. A
sheet of spirit money, brown paper hav-
ing patch of gliding on ono surface, is
laid over the upturned face, because it is
said that if the eyes are left uncovered
the corpse may count the rows of tiles in
the roof, and that in such case the
family could never build more spacious
domicile. adele M. Field in Popular

Evils of Chewing Gum.

A physician tells me that chewing gum
isapractice in which grown people should
not indulge and which parents should not
tolerate in children. SIS it worse than
chewing tobaccoY" asked. ga thou
sand times, was the reply. "a girl
will do enough chewing on a cents
worth of gum to masticate her food for a
whole week. The hinges Of the jaw are
made for the ordinary work Of an ordi-
nary life and they won't stand any more.
Chewing gum is something like drinking
whisky-one nip calls for another and
ono craunch begets another. 1t excites
the nerves which lie about the jaws to a
kind Of perpetual motion, which doesn't
cease until their strength is exhausted.
We haven't been chewing quite long
enough to see its i'll effect, but our
jaws arc made like the jaws of other peo-
pie, and we might learn q true and use

The Output of Our Mines.

1t is very imposing showing that the
bureau of mining statistics makes in its
report of the production of metals in the
United States for 1887. The aggregate
value of the output of our mines is set
down at $539,056, S45-fgures whose
significance can only be fully grasped by
comparing them with values in other de-
partments of production. 1t is difficult
to estimate the amount of labor that
went to the making Of this enormous
total. The census of 1880 ranked as
miners some 234, osS persons, not includ-
ing 7,340 oil well operators, and not
counting ut all those engaged in the care
of mining machinery. 1t would prob
ably be safe to put at $50, 600 the number
of those who are now directly engaged
in oil departments of mining industry,
and such calculation may at least serve
as n basis for determining the productive
value of the army of laborers thus en-
ployed. Epoch.

Cleveland and the Chinese.

In the last campaign the most bitter
and virulent attacks against Blaine in
Harpers Weekly. Puck and other Demo
cratic illustrated papers were made under
the cover Of friendship for the Chinese.
Mr.. Cleveland was represented as friend
Of the Chinese. while Blaine was always
pictured as an anti Chinese. The Chinese
themselves were idealized, and only lacked
halos to be saints. Does any one suppose
these supporters of Cleveland in 1884,
who denounced Blaine so fiercely for his
hostility to Chinese immigration, have
changed their sentiments? Does any one
believe that president elected by such
means is hostile to Chinese immigration
Certainly not. There Is not person in
California who does not understand the
situation perfectly. They know what s
what. and they are not going to lose sight
Of Cleveland's present record because a
lot of desperate politicians. driven to their
wits ends, are trying to cloud tho issue
by calling attention to something that
happened years ago. - San Francisco

Norany.s Land and People.

The forest land in Norway is in extent
as compared with the arabic land as
thirty to one. OF course the expectation
of timber is one of tho chief resources of
the country, but the woods are well pre-
served, forester resides in every district,
and no waste or destruction'of such valu-
able possessions is allowed, as has un-
fortunately taken place in America. Tho
land that is cultivated, except in a few
favored spots, seems poor, and the people
themselves have, evidently, few Of the
luxuries of life. There are not many
villages, Norway differing from Sweden
in that respect; the farmhouses are scat
tered, and tho dwellings of the peasants
are usually small wooden huts, and often
are ruinous.
But, though poverty is great, there is
no beggary. We have never been i'm
portuned for aims, nor have fees been ex-
pected for trining services, as in Italy or
the rural districts of England. The peo-
pie have somewhat sad, or rather n

Tho process of sheep shearing by ma
chinery is now performed in Australia by
an ingenious kind of device, the results,
as represented, being very satisfactory.
The apparatus in question is a very
simple one, being made on the same
principle as the cutter of mower or
reaper, and the knives are worked by
means of rods within the handles, these
in their turn being moved by q core
within a long flexible tube, which is kept
in q rotary shaft, and wheels driven by a
stationary engine. The comb is In the
form Of segment of circle, about
three inches in diameter, with eleven
conical shaped teeth. Each machine is
worked by shearer, and as the comb is
forced along the skin of the animal the
fleece is cut. The machine can be run
either with steam or gas engine, or by
ordinary horse power, and does not easily
get out Of order.-New York Sun.

Professor George Davidson, Of the
United States geographical survey.
accompanied by several friends,
visited the Lick Observatory on Mount
Hamilton, Saturday evening. by invi-
tation Of Professor Holden. The
night was n splendid one for observation,
but owing to the fact that liz persons
were also on the mountain, it being visi-
tors night, no length Of time could be
spent at the great telescope, as that is al
ways the great attraction for visitors. 1t
was the first peep through the 36-inch re-
tractor that Professor Davidson enjoyed
since the completion of the observatory,
and to say that he was pleased with the
experience is only half putting it.

when they do make public their discov-
cries, which I hope will be soon, it will
astonish the astronomical world as much
rs any one else. Some of the discover
les they have made are, in fact, so novel
and wonderful that Professor Holden and
his assistants arc really timid about an
nouncing them to the world until they are
entirely satisfied that they really do exist
and are not illusions of some sort. I'M

stars, planets, etc.-and questions which
have been subjects of doubt and specula-

Gossip About Miss Murfree.

When she visited Washington year or
so ago. all who met her were lavish In
praise of her charming conversational
powers. Suddenly somebody remembered
that although Miss Murfree had such
power to charm in talking she really
talked very little. She charmed by listen
ing. Another novelty of character In O
writer is accredited to her. She does not
want to DO talked to about her books.
She explains this on the ground of being
tired of the subject.
Facility in work Is not ono of her gifts.
She never ''tosses off, anything. So
slowly does she write that those who
have seen her at her work represent the
process as painful. Sometimes she spends
two hours over single page and then tears
IL up. Let IL be put down and remem-
bered that such care In writing Is not
thrown away. Usually tho 'tossers off,

WOODEN woRkeAs WAGES.
The Mills Bili's Passage Would Mean .
Certain and Sweeping deduction.

Tho Mills Bilfs Passage Would Mean
Certain and Sweeping deduction.
The free traders insist that the Mills
bill does not reduce the duty below 42.49
per cent. That may be the average rate
left after making the proposed changes,
but that Is not the average reduction In
the articles that are mentioned In the
measure. Some articles are left I'M
touched. some are added to the free list,
while others are greatly reduced. The
fair way is to ask what tho reductions
amount to, and ii will be found that they
arc at least 60 per cent. Suppose that they
deprive the manufacturers Of 80 per cent.
of their increased price. it is evident that
the wage earners must suffer to that ex-
tent. This will leave the protection on
woolens when domestic competition Is
allowed for. at about Is per cent. How
will this affect the wage earnerss 1t will
not cover the difference between the cost
of wages here and abroad. A wool dyer
in New York receives 81. 16 day, and an
English dyer receives ninety two cents
The difference is 26 per cent; Is per cent
would not cover it. A New York finisher
Is paid $1.25 day; British fnisher re-
ceives Gig hty cents, difference Of
43 per cent. A New York loom fixer re-
ceives 90. 10 and his British competitor re-
ceives 81. 33. a difference of 90 per cent. In
some states the wages are still higher. In
Pennsylvania, for example, loom fxer
receives $2.G7. In Missouri a finisher has
81. In Delaware dyer has 49, In Della
ware mule spinners receive $281; in
Great Britain they receive 80 cents, diff
ference Of 1862 per cent. In Great Britain
weavers receive SO cents day, and the
lowest wages paid to weavers in this
country are paid in New Jersey, where
they receive 81, but the difference here is
20 per cent. In the case of children and
young people the difference is greater.
Now it is evident that the proposed
changes in the Mills bill will so reduce the
rates of duty that they will not cover the
difference in the cost of labor of this coun
try and Great Britain. These simple cal
culations must convince the operatives in
the wooden mills that they cannot afford
to vote for party that will deprive them
of their wages. Under the Mills bill the
worEingmen in the wooden mills would
receive about Is per cent. more wages
than are paid to their British COM
petitors. In other words, the New
York dyer would receive $105 in
stead of S1.16. his present pay. The
New York finisher would receive 81 in
would receive $1.55 instead of So 16 The
Delaware mule spinner would receive
S1.01 instead of 1891.
If the wooden operatives are ready to
accept these reductions they will vote with

Expensive Funerals and Monuments.

Is it not about time that the societies
and other efforts put forth to reform
funerals and reduce tho expenses of
burials, included the conceited display of
monuments People never heard of be-
yond their street have the resting places
Of their bodies marked by stones that
cost anywhere from $1,000 to $50, 900.
This cannot be the result of family affec-
ton, but is more likely to be family
pride. There is but one possible advan-
tage Of such display-that is the creation
of snowy and interesting cemeteries.
But people Of sound sense are, nowadays,
ordering that they themselves be buried
without display and their graves marked
in the simplest manner. Tho amount of
wealth already unnecessarily stored in
our cemeteries is high among the tens of
millions, or even hundreds of millions.
The mausoleums of tho dead were in
primitive times the earthly homes Of the
spirits Of the departed; but we have no
longer this excuse for unlimited expense.
