Goose oil rubbed on the throat and
chest is an old-time remedy for Group,

we'll covered and away from draughts,
as it is very opening to the pores, and
the least cold often proves fatal.
Every one who prizes good health

healthy activity.
-Tea-drinkers are warned against the

CHINESE BANKING.
Borrowing Money Under a System Called
the ssWOO-ey.o

Borrowing Money Under a System Called
the 'Woo-ey."
The Chinese have a way of borrowing
and lending money under system that
they call Woo-ey, that allows its mem
bers to borrow in a stated sum and repay
it by installments. Amy member of a
Woo ey who takes share and does not
wish to borrow himself obtains good
interest on the money he invests. The
plan of Woo-ey is as follows: All Sing
wants to borrow 500 and repay it in in
stallments, so he starts Woo-ey; his
first step is to find 20 persons who are
willing to take S. share in a S1O0
Woo-ey. All Sing is known as the
Woo-ey Tow, or head of the Woo-ey;
the shareholders are known as Woo-ey
Chi, or children Of the Woo-ey. The
Woo-ey lasts for 20 months; each Woo
ey Chi pays In SIS to the Woo-ey Tow, so
that All Sing obtains his S1O0. At the
end of the month All Sing goes to each
of the shareholders and asks for bids for
the next loan; each member writes his
name and the amount of interest he is
willing to pay on a slip of paper. Every
member has the right of borrowing
money once during the Woo-ey. After
the bids are all received they are opened
and read and the money lent to the high
est bidder. We will suppose that per
cent is the highest bid. All Sing, who
now pays the first installment, has to
pay in the full amount of So, while the
others deduct the 2 per cent. and pay in
S4. 80. When the next installment falls
due thre are two members who have to
pay in the full amount, and SO the Woo
ey runs on. At the end of Is or 16
months the interest offered is often as
high as 25 or 80 per cent, but as Is of
the members have borrowed and so have
to pay in the full amount of SIS, it
is only the four or five left who
get the benefit of the heavy in
terest. Sometimes toward the last of
the Woo-ey, when two or three diff
ferent ones wish to borrow, the rates
offered are often as high as rs per cent,
and in one instance 100 per cent. was
bid on a IS Woo-ey. AS there were
three members that had not borrowed,
the Celestial had only to pay the heavy
premium to two men. Sometimes the
Woo-ey is as low as SO cents share,
and 1 have known of Woo-eys as high as
$50 share.-N. Y. Herald.

TO REDUCE FRICTION.
Social Laws Whose Observance Is Ess'
~ tial to Good Fellowship.

Social Laws Whose Observance Is Essen
M tial to Good Fellowship.
Social laws are -humanizing influences
when obeyed understandingly. They
may seem to oppress, at times, free
movement, but that oppression is de-
lvelopment,. for it forces us to live in
obedience to a system; and obedience to
system means order, and order is Heav-
ems first law. Obedience to social laws
not only reduces friction, but it spares
love many wounds. How many times
is love fatally wounded by the omission
of an act that is simply one of courtesy
and which would never be omitted be-
tween strangers except through ignor-
ance! Indeed, it would seem sometimes
that we tried to show our affection by
the omission of acts of courtesy. There
is no doubt that separations between
members of the same family would
many times have been avoided had So
cial laws been obeyed, had not liberty
been taken with the law of love.
. Not long since young girl, one of
three intimate school friends, died. One
Of the three had married and moved
away from her native city. An accident
a few months ago to member of her
family caused her friends to write let
ters of sympathy which remained un-
acknowledged. All through the sick
girls delirium she asked for the letter
from her friend which had never been
received. After her death the friend
gave every evidence of warm affection,
but 1t was too late to remove one pang
from the loving heart that was still, and
which had been wounded so carelessly
If the knowledge ever comes to her, it
will leave memory that will never be
bbtted out. 1t is just this possibility
q being separated by death that should
make us careful to observe the law OF
indy living, for that is all that social
brms imply or demand, and kindness is
he foundation of happiness.
obedience to social laws does not
man cold formality, any more than
obdience to moral laws means sancti-
moiousness. Either or both express a
certin harmoniousness of nature, a
blening of heart and head that means
an enetional nature we'll balanced.

as to whether or not the Depart

governing it, has jurisdiction
over such appeals. While the
plaintiff. Mr.. Thomas, denied that
