An Illustration Of the Horrors of India

Down on State street yesterday after
noon a well-fed merchant stopped re-
porter and said: 81 say, young man. do
you ever try to correct public nui-
sances?"
"oh, yes!' said the young man with a
pleased smile.

In the world that child ever learned that
outlandish melody is more than can

intense wrath: Maria, if that boy ever

him to reform school, There was an
exchange OF words between us, and the
result was a scene, crying spell, a
spoiled breakfast and a wrathful de-
parture. l got on the car, and an i'm
pertinent imp on the back platform
greeted me with the distorted strains of
Home, Sweet Home got off the car
and walked down to the office, and it
seemed to me that every body on the
street was whistling,
by the time l reached the office
there was medley OF whistles in nv
brain-the shrill whistle, the rasping
whistle, the loud bass whistle, the
boys disjointed treble, and the mans
hideously smooth whistle, the fife-like
scream, and the long g-drawn, hollow
sound of the flute. Oh, it was madden

That carried me up was making sibi-

at him savagely, and he turned white

my boy said: Good morning, Mr. So-and-

Language That Can Re Written as Fast

The Chinese language as the natives

so long line of ancestors. 1t will be

They do not practice speechmaking,
but il they did and If the native news
papers formed staff of shorthand re-

any foreign system. They can report
quite fast enough themselves with
little practice, and they write the con-
fractions with wonderful quickness.
Their hand muscles are pliable, their
fingers small, and the writing brush
they employ is an instrument superior
in speed to the steel pen or quill. The
scribes at an imperial audience probably

A Good Method of Copying.

Buy piece of common factory or
cheese cloth, or as many pieces as may
be necessary to make the desired number
of copies, each the size of the letter book
page. When about 70 take copies wet
the cloth. or several pieces if necessary,
so thoroughly that there shall be no dry
spots. This done wiring them out as
dry as possible with the hands Now
place the oil sheet in the book and the
cloth thereon, and the leaf of the copy
book on this. Next lay the letter or
manuscript on this, and if another sheet
is to be copied add another oil sheet, a
wet cloth, the tissue leaf, and so on for
as many sheets as there may be to copy.
BY this process as many as twenty
sheets may be copied successfully at the
same time. while the most expert with
the brush, or any similar device for
moistening the tissue leaves, will some
times fail on single copy. We retired
our hair and felt brushes TO make place
for the cheese cloth a number of years
ago. For typewriter work nothing ex-
GELS the cloth. Clear copies may be pro-
cured as long as there is enough ink left
on a ribbon TO make an impression

Dyeing Roses.

1t is said that the process of dyeing
roses is becoming remunerative branch
of industry with English horticulturists.
Instead Of growing new varieties Of
roses, which is a process Of years, they
simply grow ordinary white roses and
dip them in a chemical solution which
in a single hour converts them into the
most magnificent yellow tea roses, the
rare scarlet red or the peculiar shade Of
blush violet which has been one Of the
favorites Of the season. In similar
way pink roses are turned into blossoms
of the deepest red. Some years ago, be
fore this branch of floral chemistry"
was developed, the first experiments
were successfully made in France with
the popular pink hortensia, which, by
being watered with solution Of iron,
assumed blue shade.-London Letter.
