THE Mckinley bill, that cross-cuts so
many interests, is bringing some queer
methods to light. 1t seems that some of
the fat fried out was of the nature of
mutton suet. That is in the late inter-
view between the ways and means COM
mittee and the Philadelphia carpet
manufacturers it is shown that from
them and New England there was $685.
600 contributed to be used by Quay and
Dudley in The late campaign. An in
creased duty on wool was not what they
paid for, but what they will get if the
Mckinley bill Is made law.

a NEW foundation for political party
has been found. A Mr.. Jones of Schuyl-
kill county, Penn. has discovered that
each of POO voters in that county has
lost either an arm or a leg, and it has
occurred to him that here is the material
for new party, whose platform shall be
a demand that these cripples must have
one-third of the ofices. 1t has sometimes
been found elsewhere that legless one
legged men run for Office uncommonly

for a new local party on this basis with

China's Chief River.

The Yang kiang, the third largest
miles long in all its windings, from its
rise in the Northwestern mountains Of
China to Its discharge into the Yellow Sea,
is navigablc, SAYS correspondent, by
steamboat as far as Jehang-1, 900 miles
up from Shanghai.
The distance from Shanghai to Hankov
is 500 miles. and the trip there and back,
which occupied nine days, proved in every
way interesting and enjoyable. At near
intervals. all along the river banks, are
little mud-hovels. similar in shape to, and
not much bigger than, an ordinary dog
kennel. Here the fisherman lives and
plies his trade all day, occasionally, BY
means of a bamboo pulley, raising his net
from the water when he imagines he haa
made good haul of fish.
GIVE been on this river over twenty
years." said our captain, land never
saw one of them catch anything yet"
AS he spoke, the fisherman at whom we
had been looking drew up his net, and
10! there was one great fish in it, some
two feet long Oddly enough, it was
the only fish l saw caught while on the
river.
All that day we passed walled towns,
built on the slope of the hillside, and Oc.
casionally bristling with Notifications;
and now and again we would see group
of children playing beside the water, far
from any signs of habitation, or water
buffalo would appear to cnliven the scene,
but as rule there was still, desolate ain
over everything.
Next day we passed close to the walled
town of Nganking. 1t wore a peaceful
air in the early morning-thc dropping
willows and brown sails of the fishing
junks beneath the old gray wall, and the
slender pagodas, and the quaint joss
houses within the city, rising from amid
green foliage, lent a pretty and pictnr-
esque charm to the scene; but those who
could read between the lines, and who
knew what an amount of degradation,
squalOr and vice Chinese town is capable
of containing, were not deceived by this
outward appearance of slumbrous calm
and peace. 1t was horrible to think that
even as we looked some poor wretch be-
hind those walls might be undergoing
tortures Undesirable.

To Avoid Accidents in Factories.

A very useful invention, tending to
lessen the possibility of accidents in fac
tories, is now being extensively adopted
in England. The breaking of glass.
which is adjusted against the wall of
every room in the mill. will at once stop
the engine, an electric current being cs-
tablishel between the room and the
throttle valve of the engine, shutting off
the steam in an instant. BY this means
the engine was stopped at ont of the
mills secently in few seconds. and a
young girl, whose clothes had become
entangled in an upright shaft, was re-
leased uninjured.

Tho Favorite Beverage Of Turks.

Coffee drinking in Turkey is universal
and continuous. The writer passed
greater part of four years in CONSTANT
nOple, where he had occasion to call upon
the officials of the Sublime Porte so fire.
quently that it would be difficult to emu
merate these official visits; and with few
exceptions, when the visit was protracted
to any length, black coffee, pure in quail
ity and prepared with the grounds, Wa
regularly served in small, delicate cups.
All Turks, from the highest to the low.
est, indulge in the beverage, few swal.
lows at a time throughout the day, and
without any evil effects. What makes
the fact more remarkable is that neither
the sedentaty habits of the Turk nor the
quick, energetic temperament of the
Greek, seems to bc affected by the perpet-
ual imbibing of the beverage
Spectaclcs, it may be remarked. are .
little used in Turkey as in Greece; nof
are complaints of the eyes more prevalent,
If we except opthalmia, which is brought
from Egypt, and exists chiefly among the
unclean and absolute lower orders. Az
old pasha once told us that he considered
coffee to be one of the greatest blessings
vouchsafed by Allah to the faithful, not
only from its grateful aroma, but from III
health-preserving qualities.
