4 Chinese Farmers Methods.

We must got China to learn how
much can be got out of land. Pong
Hin, native Of the Chinese province of
Swallow, lives in n village of three hun.
dred persons, in which about thirty men
arc land owners, having altogether forty
five acres of land. Pong Hia owns two
acres. inherited from the father who
adopted him. His land is worth $1,000.
His family consists of ten persons. He
is himself forty-six years old, his wife is
forty one, his son is twenty two, his
sons wife is twenty one, his four daueh-
tcrs are from ten to seventeen, and his
two grandchildren arc three and seven
years old. He and his son till the land,
hiring help at harvest time, and weav-
ing straw mats on rainy days. The
women folk make the clothing, rear
pigs and fowls and do all the house
work. Their dwelling, with its site, is
valued at $120, their furniture at S44,
their clothing at $40, their farming ap.
planes at $40. They have water
buffalo, two hogs, thirty fowls, ten
ducks, pair of geese, dog and cat.
Last year Pong Ha sold $40 worth of
rice from his farm, and paid So. go in
taxes. He has 5000 out at interest at
eighteen per cent.
At this rate of production and con-
sumption, the arabic land in the State
of New York, with reduction of one
half its returns on account of its more
northern latitute, would support tho
total population of the United States at
tho present time; and the occupied
arabic land of the United States with
its producing power diminished, on ac-
count of climate, to onc-half that of
land at Swallow, would feed popula-
ton equal to that of the whole world,

Country Week.

Every year tho weakest and most
sickly of the children belonging to tho
Paris rag picking district are sent into
the country to remain for short timo
among tho peasants, with instru ctions
TO eat all they choose, live in the open
air and roll about on the grass. At
first the miserable little creatures seem
to be stupcfied by the brightness of
their new life, and quito dazod by the
difference between city squllor aud
bright sun and flowers.
One boy, on rising from laborcr's
said, almost with awe:
"This is the first time ever ate till I
was no longer hungryl"
Their startled surprise and almost
piteous happiness recall tho words of
the English city child. who, taken int
the green fields for holiday, looked
compassionatcly at a sparrow, and said:
"Poor little birdl he has no cage 10
sleep in"
Another, who had never even visited
the parks and gardens of her native city,
was terrified at the sight of trees.
"Won't they fall on us?" she shriokcd,
cllnging to her companion. 'N[a'am,
arc yc sure they is stuck down tight?"
One little American boy, during his
first country visit, mystcriously begged
his hostess to lock up small package
for him during his stay. "Don't tell
any body I've got EN-, ma am, " he whis-
percd, excitedly. az didn't pick 'cm
up on your place; I got 'em in the road,
n mile off,"
''why, what arc they Jimmyi"
asked the lady.
"Di'mon's!'' said Jimmy, in her car,
looking about to be sure they were not
overheard. '1m goin' to sell 'em, and
be richer n anybody round here"
Having with difficulty obtained his
permission, the lady opened the
crumpled bit of paper, which contained,
alas only some sparkling bits of quartz.
Jimmy, like many another explorer, had
trusted his eyes, only to be deceived.
A wise man has said that no child
can afford to grow up in Ignorance of
those common facts which Mother Ma.
turc is ready to teach.
Realizing what the city poor have
missed, those of us who are familiar
with country byways should feel rich
indeed; rich enough, and grateful
enough, gladly to lend hand in giving
at least country week" to some of
our less favored fellow mortals.

On the way to the scafTold the criminal

sake of his three infant children. The
soldiery attempted to drown the frantic
appeals by constant bugle- blowing. The
condemned man was supcrhumanly

Forced at last into banquillo by dozen
soldiers, he was, when fixed, easily de.

frightfully. The executioncr WINS

the scaffold was hurt in the scuffie.
and the military wcro unable tol

many persons were hurt in the crush.
Machin's body was, after several hours
exposure, removed by tho fraternity of
''Paz y Caridad," according to the an
