The secretary of the treasury to-day trans
mitted to the senate report from Datus
E. Coon, Chinese inspector at San Diego,
CAL. dated April q, with respect to the
evasion of the Chinese exclusion act. Coon
says it is true that the Chinese are coming
into the United States despite the efforts Of
the customs department. to keep them out.
Coon says opportunities for crossing the
Mexican border into California are many,
and with the force at the command of the
department it will be impossible to prevent
all of them from entering this country.
When they have once reached San Diego
unobserved it is practically impossible to
prove when or how they came in. Com
menting upon the charges that the Scott
exclusion act is a failure, Coon says that
this is practically true as to its execution,
for the reason that when a Chinaman il ar
rested he is enabled, while in confinement,
to make arrangements with friendly
and be conducted to some other town. He
is also able to disguise himself SO as to
made identification if caught extremely
difficult.
The order of the secretary of the treasury
prohibiting the transfer of Cinnamon in
most fortunate one and will check the
traffic for time. but some other method,
Coon is confident, will be found by which
to come into the United States. Coon sug-
gests treaty negotiations with the British
government and Mexico looking to the ex-
clusion of Chinese, and says Chinese exclu-
sion legislation would then be very simple.
The Morrow and other bills, Coon declares,
are defective in that they provide for the
return of Cinnamon whence they came.
Even children laugh when told of this law,
for they know that Chinaman returned to
Mexico will be eating his breakfast in the
United States the next day.

WOrshiping Flowers.

A recent traveller in India gives the
following description of flower worship
as practised by the Persian, who, in
flowing robe of blue, and on his head q
sheepskiu hat-black, glossy, curly, the
fleece of Kar-Kal-would saunter in and
stand mcditatively over every flower he
saw, and always as if half in vision.
And when the vision was fulfilled and
the ideal flower he was seeking found, he
would spread his mat and sit before it
until the setting of the sun, and then
fold up his mat again and 60 home.
And the next night, and night
after night until that particular flower
faded away, he would return to it and
bling his friends in ever-increasing
troops to it and sit and play the guitar
or lutte before it, and they would all to-
gethcr pray there, and after prayer still
sit before it, slipping shcrbct and talking
the most hilarious and shocking scandal
late into the moonlight, and so on every
evening until the flower died.
Sometimes, by way of a grand finals.
the whole company would suddenly
arise before the flower and serenade it
together with an ode from Hahz and de-
part.-NeU York Journal.

An Infant Giantess.

Pine Level, hamlet in Texas, just
across the line dividing the State from
Louisiana, boasts of phenomenon in the
share of girl not yet quite ten years
old who has already attained the height
of five feet, ten inches. She is the
daughter of James Rutherford, engineer
at the lumber mill Of Carter, Robinson &
Co., and who is himself q giant in size,
while his wife is six feet and quarter in
height. The girl, who was, her parents
say, an unusually small, sickly baby, be-
gan to grow when she was about six
years old, and in four years has gained
two feet and half, an almost unprece-
dented growth. She is stout and devel-
oped in proportion, and has the strength
of a man, but her mind is feeble, or else
has been so outstripped by her body as
to give it no chance to develop. The
young giantess presents most remark
able spectacle with her childish face and
dress, seated playing in the sand or anus
ing herself with a DOLL Washington

Fashions in Meats.

"Fashions have changed in meats as
we'll as in everything else, said Wash
ington Market butcher mournfully the
other day. "Pretty nearly everybody
nowadays must have the best cuts. Now,
here's piece of mutton that we sell for
six cents pound, and it's the sweetest
part of the carcass, but it isn't what peo-
pie consider a choice cut. It's out Of
style, and so it's a regular drug on the
market. Now, if people understood
about meat, they'd buy this piece, cut
off one end for soup meat, and get the
incest kind of chops out of the rest. But
very few persons seem to know about
this. There are some who do understand
it, of course, and they're the wise folks
of this town. Do the poor people buy
the cheap cuts2 Bless you, no. Its al
most the other way, was going to say.
People who buy such pieces as I've just
shown you own their own homes. guess
that's why they do own them. ."-Neu

PRACTICAL TOAST-MAEING.

At one of the most famous hot springs
in Germany twice baked bread, or
"Zwieback," as they call it, forms the
leading article of diet, and to its whole
someness, generous nutritive qualities and
case of digestion IS probably due as large
a proportion of the cures as to the merits
of the wonderful waters. A few words
as to the way of preparing and various
ways of using their excellent article OF
food may not be amiss, although most OF
the household readers are versed IN
ordinary toast-making.
This twice-baked bread is the only
way to make toast which is digestible
and thoroughly hygienic. 1t is made by
toasting slices of stale bread so that they
are of delicate brown all the way
through. Cut the loaf IN suitable slices
and place them in quite hot oven until
this result is obtained. They will not
need much watching, and can often be
put on the top CRATE during the time
that other baking is being carried on,
thus economizing time and fuel. ODD
pieces of bread and the ends of loaf can
be utilized in this way very nicely.
When the toast is thoroughly Drowned
through, allow it to cool, and then pack
away in tin bread-box, where, if kept
free from moisture, it will keep for some
time. 1t can be made to serve variety of
purposes and possesses the advantage of
being ready at moments notice.-Oe-

Before We Turn to Dust.

How long will human body remain
in the earth before it decays until it can
not be distinguished from the surround
ing clay is question as yet undecided by
the scientists. Much depends upon the
character of the soil and the different
elements of which it is composed. In
countries abounding in limestone, or,
again, in regions thoroughly saturated
with alkaline waters, human flesh will
retain a natural coler and frmness for an
indefinite period of time. The bogs of
Ireland have yielded up bodies fresh and
natural as life that had been buried in
their Shiny depths for ceuturies. 1t is
said to be an historical fact that the
bodies of three Roman soldiers were
found in peat bog on the Emerald Isle,
in the year 1869 A. D., fresh and life
like, although they had been buried al
most sixteen centuries. - Commercial Ad-

Discovery Of the Steel Pen.

Mr.. Joseph elliott was Birmingham
England working jeweler in 1880. One
day he accidently split one of his fine
steel tools, and being suddenly required
tc sign receipt, not finding his quill pen
at hand he used the split tool as ready
substitute. This happy accident led to
the idea of making pens of metal. It
was carried out with secrecy and promp-
titude, and the pens of elliott became
famous. The manufacture of metal pens
has been as important as any invention
connected with business and education
since that of printing. There arc now
numerous firms which produce as many
pens every day as all the geese in Eng
land could have supplied in year.
There is still, however, large demand
for quilts and quill pens; but for COM
mon use, in these days of universal edu
cation, the Importance Of Gillott's first
invention Is incalcufable. .~-0nesss- WsAk

To seek the truth is better than to dig

inspire good in others.
If some people never had any teeth
they would live longer.
The man who is looking for faults in
others will be kept busy.
One of life's richest possessions is the
memory of good mother.
Lions are never so big as we think
they are from their roaring.
You can't make a guilty man happy.
BE must first lose his guilt.
Some people are afraid to do right for
fear they will lose money by it.
If there wasn't any gold in the world
there wouldn't be so much brass.
The heart is so large that it takes more

The world is full of people who are

The man who takes everything for
granted will fall through a good many
bridges.
Fire is always saying, "I'm hot"
and to doubt its word is to reap the
penalty.
There are just two kind of people in
this world. Those who are right and
those who are wrong.
wisdom is always knocking at the
front door and wanting to come in, to
hang up pictures and give away treasures.

Condolences in q ConYict's Life.

Apropos of the movement to furnish
books to the prisoners in Auburn Jail, a
Norwegian lady, resident in Auburn,
tells in her picturesque way an episode
which occurred in Charleston, S. @.
Years ago a mother took her 5-year-old
boy into prison when she went to see his
father, committed for some triaing Of
fence. The little fellow stepped into
the djacent cell, having over it the num-
Der IS. TO tease him the warden shut
the door, but quickly opened it at the lit
tie fellows screams. His mother soothed
him, saying: "Nobody shall ever shut
my little boy up in dark prison." Years
passed. The boys father and mother
died. HIS uncle helped him and gave
him money to get to New York. He fell
in with bad company, squandered his
money and in sheer desperation attemp-
ted to commit burglary in his uncle's
house. That relative was SO enraged he
handed over his nephew to the authori-
ties. Looking at the number of his cell,
to his horror he saw "68,' and knew
that it was the self-same cell that had in
spired his boyish terror. Then his moth
er's words came back: "Nobody shall
ever shut my little boy in dark CELL"
and he wept as he had not since her
death, for he had loved that mother.
The warden's wife found him in q
melted condition. He told her bis story
and she gave him the utmost sympathy
and kindness during his long term, short
ened by his good behavior. As he left
the cell and took last look at those
terrible numbers $685." he determined he
would make q man of whom his mother
should be proud. By his trade, learned
in prison, he pursued an honest and lu-
crative trade, and his taste for literature,
also formed by the warden, provided for
leisure hours. Ten years afterward he
called on the warden's wife, and she
could hardly believe that it was he who
had occupied "6S.'-Leuisten (Ne)

HOW TO HAVE A CLEAR SKIN.

You want to keep your skin nice all
summer? Well, then, here are some rules
for you.
Don't bathe in hard water; soften it
with few drops of ammonia, or little
boraX.
Don't bathe your face while it is very
warm, and never use very cold water for
it,
Don't wash your face when you are trav.
cling, unless 1t is with a little alcohol
and water, or a little vaseline.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water; give your face a hot bath,
using plenty of good soap, then give it a
thorough rinsing with water that has had
the chill taken off of it.
Don't rub your face with coarse towel;
just remember it is not made OF cast iron,
and treat it as you would the finest por-
celain-gently and delicately.
Don't use sponge, or linen rag for
your face; chose instead flannel one.
Don't believe you can get rid of
wrinkles by filling in the crevices with
powder. Instead give your face Rus
sian bath every night; that is, to bathhc
it with water so hot that you wonder how
you can stand it, and then, minute
after, with cold water that will make it
glow with warmth; dry it with soft
towel and 90 to bed, and you ought to
sleep like baby while your SKINS grow
ing tirmer and coming from out Of the
wrinkles, and you are resting.-Laaiss'

A Grateful Japanese Priest.

know an American who commissioned
an agent to 60 to Japan in order to buy
the quantity carved panels which adorned
one of the best and last of the very
ancient temples of Japan. The old priest
in the temple disliked to part with his
treasure and, indeed, he persistently de-
clined to do so while one bid after an-
other, of increasing sums of money, was
made to him. Not at all despairing of
the capture of this bric-a-brac, my
American friend went to a Fifth avenue
cabinet-maker and procured handsome
rosewood set of bedroom furniture. This
be shipped to the priest. This gift SO
delured the old Jap that he stripped his
temple not only of the panels but of
many other things priceless to a con-
nossieur and sent them over to America.

AN ANTI-MoTH FLOUR BARREL.

While families are away for the season
the moth will be having his time with
the stored goods. A good way to
circumvent the insect is this: If one has
no cedar chests to store woolens in, q
very good substitute is trunk or -four
barrel. The barrel should be we'll
washed in cold water, dried and lined
with newspapers. These are pasted in,
using thick -four paste with a large
spoonful of alum added to quart of
paste. Cover every place on the inside.
The woolens should be thoroughly
brushed and summed, carefully folded
and laid in. When the barrel is full,
the cover should be pressed down, a
stout manila paper put over the top, COM
ing down we'll around the barrel, tied
down with twine and pasted so as to fit
close.-New York Journal.

Eyeglasses Are Made From Pebbles.

"Fully twenty per cent. of the grown
people of the community are affected
with some trouble of the eyes," SAID a
Chicago optician to a Post man. "More
have the far-sighted eye than the near
sighted. Failing sight is attributable to
different causes. Many weak eyes are
the result of natural defects, while in
other cases weakness comes from inju-
dicious use of the organs of sight. After
people begin to use glasses they are sell
dom able to get along without them.
The best glasses are manufactured in
Paris. These are known as the French
crystal and the French pebble. The
pebble material in the rough is imported
from Brazil, and being ground and pre-
pared in France the goods are given the
name of French. Paris is the great
market for oil kinds of lenses. What is
the difference between the crystal and
the pebble2 1t is very marked differ
ence. Pebble is the crystallized rock.
The crystal is made just as the ordinary
window glass is made, but of course the
quality is very much finer. 1t is only
manufactured for optical purposes.
"The glasses made from the pebble
mined in Brazil arc harder than any
other kind. They are also cooler to the
eye. This is great desideratum where
there is any particular irritation about
the eye. The original pebble is cut into
thin slabs and then is ground and
polished. This pebble is extremely hard,
so hard indeed that it cannot be scratched
save with diamond. The crystal, on
the contrary, is much harder than ordin-
ary glass, but it can be scratched. The
French pebble glass, which is so highly
esteemed, is the Brazilian pebble. This
pebble is generally brought from the
mines in Brazil as ballast in many cases.
The main expense is in preparing it for
the market. Like the microscope lens,
the cost is in the grinding and polishing.
There are some glasses made in this
country that are not only excellent in
quality but find good and ready mar
ket. The American glass is a crystal
lens, and it is made in Southbridge,
Mass. The glass used in their manu-
facture is imported from Germany and
Belgium and is ground at Southbridge.
OF course it is cheaper grade of lens
than the French glass, but it has never
thcless much merit.

mountain scenery, and over on the other
side stood wildly gesticulating man with
smoking revolver in his hand. Just as
I caught sight of him there was another
curl of smoke, and ball landed about
three inches away from my head. Then
1 saw it was the photographer, and he
was taking this way of indicating his
objection to my painting in the fore
ground of his photographs. I did not
stop to argue with him, because he could
not have heard me anyhow, but I con-
cluded that I had all the sign up that
was needed for the time being. All the
photographs that he took for some time
thereafter had my patent medicine sign
on them.
"When I went out to California I had
considerable fun with the Chinese. I
struck one Chinaman down in Truckee
who was hanging out some clothes.
When he saw my pots and brushes he
caught on to the fact that I was a
painter, and he said to me, You paintce
sicnee for me2' yes said, I'll paint
you q sign How much you paintee
signee Hop Sing Chinee laundlee2' I
told him l would do it for dollar. He
hauled out the silver and went to work.
I thought it would be waste of good
paint to stop with mere laundry sign,
and so 1 added to it my patent medicine
sign, putting it up in three or four diff
ferent places. Hop Sing was very we'll
satisfied and so was I, and SO we parted
very good friends.
'Sometimes I came across the perverse
kind of frontiersmen, but the worst ex-
perience 1 had was down iu Texas. I
was painting sign on fence, and a big,
six-footed Texan cowboy came along
and says: 'Who told you you could
paint that sign there2 Paint it out 1
looked up and there he was with re-
volver in each hand. I painted it out.
Now put it back again, he says. No
use of arguing, thought I, and I put it
back. Now paint it out again, he said.
After kept that up about four times my
hand began to get tired, and my dander
was getting up too. Look here, SAID l,
if you think this is such lot of fun,
suppose you try it. I've got tired If
you don't like that you can go to the
dickens and be hanged He didn't shoot.
1 have found as a matter of fact that if
you take a rough man in the rough way,
and the smooth man in the smooth way,
you get along pretty we'll after all. Any
how, 1 have done some pretty risky
things, and I was never hurt yet. I
found another thing, too. A bulldog is
nasty animal to argue with. But there
is one thing that will knock a bulldog
sky high, and that is brush full of
paint. Sometimes I would be painting
along fence and bulldog would com
rushing up barking and trying to rouse
the whole village. I'd just wait until he
had got his nose up to convenient knot
hole, and then I'd just dousc him once
for luck. That bulldog would try to
bury himself in the ground, and never
had a word to say for the whole day."
