holds open. The Great Falls have COM
menced shipping again. They were not

down the foundation for their new elevator.
They have one more room to ship from their
Pittston houses, they will then come back to
their So. Gardiner houses aud finish shipping

Hon. Z. F. Webb has a wonderful view
of the surrounding country at his country re
reat just outside of the city. He can see a
train. or rather the smoke from the engine
when it comes into North Belgrade. When
it reaches Oakland he can see the train itself
aud he does not lose sight of it until it has
reached Burnham "a miles from where he
first recognized it.

The kennebec Fibre Company, of Benton
Falls, have purchased the mill privilege, dam
and mill property situated in Plymouth vii
lage, and have a crew of men at work max
ing some decided transformations The
Company propose to use the location as
reservoir in order that they may be supplied
with water during the dry season. This move
has become necessary, as the removal of
forests along its course has decreased the
volume of the Sebasticook in very marked
degree.

1.-THE Chinese empire" said my in
formant, sis divided into numerous
provinces, over which the central gov
eminent at Pckin exercises but little
direct authority outside of the collection
of the These subdivisions of
the empire are under the despOtic con-
troll of magistrates, or mandarins. The
people of the different provinces speak
peculiar dialects and are exceedingly
clannish. Upon the opening of emigra-
ton to this country the representatives of
different sections of the Chinese empire
formed six companies, known as the
Keong Chow, Sam Yup, Keong Wo,
Ming Yeong, Hop We and Yen We.
These six companies were first organ
lied for benevolent purposes, and did
worthy work in the early days of Chinese
immigration by providing their people
with the necessities of life until employ
ment could be obtained for them. During
latter days, however, they have almost
ceased their benevolent work, and their
function o is the adjudication of the
personal differences of the members Of
the companies. They act in place of the
courts of the state. When a Chinaman
has n grievance he reports it to his COM
pany, who in turn reports h case to the
officials of the six companies. A com
mittce of residents of Chinatown is
selected, to whom the matter is left for
arbitration. Chicago Herald.

The ceremonies employed in Chinese
marriages differ widely in tho various
provinces and districts. In all, however,
a Ego between" is engaged to find, in the
first instance, a fitting bride for the
would be bridegroom; to conduct the
preliminary proceedings of bringing the
parents to terms, and to see to tho cast
ing of the horoscopes and the exchange
of presents. The gifts presented are of
infinite variety; but in almost every case
a goose and a gander, the recognized
emblems of conjugal fidelity, figure con-
spicuously among the offerings made by
the bridegroom. The choice of these
birds is SO strange that one is apt to con
slider it as one of the peculiar outcomes
of the topsy turvy Chinese mind, which
regards the left hand as the place of
honor and the stomach as the seat of the
intellect. But this is not quite SO, for
we find from George Sand that at the
marriage of French peasants in Berry a
goose was commonly borne in the bride

A recent article by Herr R. Sendtner
in the Intercollegiate ~Zeitschrift"
tends to prove that the works of art in
hes streets and squares of cities are more
liable to decay than those in the country,
and that this ~decaying process is more
rapid nowadays than it was forty or fifty
years ago. The writer attributes it not only
to the changes of temperature in general,
but more especially to the variations of
temperature near the freezing point, the
freezing of the water in the pores of the
work of art fastening the decay, in con-
sequence of the sulphurous and sulphuric
acids, arising from the increased use of
coal. These deleterious Ingredients mix
ing with the rain, fog and dew act like
diluted sulphuric acid on the surfaces of
statues, monuments, ETC., be they of
stone or bronze.
Worse than all these, however, is the
effect of the snow, which absorbs those
acids to a remarkable degree. Fresh
fallen snow in Munich, for instance, con-
tanned seven to eight m~illigrammes of
acid to each kilo of snow; and the same
proportion was noticeable at F~orstenried,
about eight kilometers from the city. The
same quantity of snow, after having re-
NAMED on the ground q fortnight, showed
in Munich sixty-one milligrammes, while
at Forstenried the proportion had not
altered in the least; hence the snow in
the city must needs have a more delete
rious effect than that in the country.
This also is the reason why the public
monuments in Berlin are always covered
at the approach of ter.-Berliner

Tho salt mountains Of Nevada, the salt
island in Louisiana, as well as various
other deposits of chloride of sodium in
different parts of the world, are almost
absolutely pure chloride of sodium. OF
22.98 per cent. of salts found in Great
Salt lake, the remarkable proportion of
20.10 per cent. is found to be pure
chloride Of sodium, and yet many of the
streams running into the lake contain
vastly larger quantities of other salts;
some of the water is SO heavily charged
with nitrates and sulphates of soda and
potash as to be unfit for animals to drink;
and all the potash salts in the lake have
disappeared. The peculiar character of
these phenomena have long been studied
by biologists and chemists, but no one
theory in particular appears to be apple
able to all the facts presented in the
localities named.-New York Sun.

81 am told" said a Boston butcher,
"that the people in the poorer parts of
New York city buy the highest priced
groceries, and that the meat men say
they can sell the coarser cuts of meat to
the rich, but that people of moderate
means refuse them. l hear the same
thing from Washington and other cities.
A friend of mine, a man of wealth, who,
like his father before him, had long been
noted as one of the most generous bene-
factors of the poor in the city where he
lives, and with whom l happened to be
talking about these matters, remarked:
For my family | get the cheaper cuts of
meat because they are cheaper. My chill
dren are satisfied with round steak and
shoulder. even if they are not quite as
tender and toothsomc MS sirloin. They
are strong and healthy and understand
that such food is good enough for their
parents and is good enough for Them
II question whether his gardener or
his coachman would be so entirely ready
to accept such doctrine; and if the poor
people to whom in times Of stress his
money Is given without stint are like
many others Of their class, not n few of
them would be i'll content with some of
the food materials that appear regularly

The latest London rogue's device is to
drive n hanson, and from that elevated
position to pick out from the roofs of four
whcclers such articles of luggage as seem
most promising. These he places on the
roof of his own cab, and drives away
with them, presumably to some railway
station. The proceeding is of the neat
est kind, and every precaution is taken
that forcthought car suggest. In order
that the spectacle of luggage on an empty
cab should not excite suspicion, n tenn
porary fare is provided, called a ''buck;"

The old Connecticut pilgrim known as
"thc darned nan' is dead. In young
manhood his mind was unhinged by tho
sudden death of his amanced bride, and
for tho rest Of his long life he tramped
through the state, always wearing his
wedding suit. The great desire of his
life was to preserve that suit. And the
only articles he ever solicited were needles
and thread or yarn to mend it. As years
passed on, the repairs TO which the suit
vas subjected wcrc so numerous that
but little Of the original cloth remained.
But in the eyes of the poor old pilgrim 1t
was always the same.-Ncw York Tri-
