QUEER THINGS IN CHINA.

IT is the custom in many parts of
China to tie Il white cock to u coffin
and then sacrifice it on the grave.
BEGGAES are an organized guild i'll

in the north their only garment, if any,
is Il tattcred shecpakin.
IN Shanghai and in many other places
in China the rows build and raise their
broods in the trees of the city. On ac-
count of the Buddhist reverence for all
life, no one harms them.
TIE junks, whether at sea- or on the
river, are II perpetual terror to the
steamer captains. The masters of the
junks believe that if they can cross a
moving steamers bows close ut hand it
will bring them good luck for the year.
IT is n custom very ancient and very
common in China 70: anyone who has Il
grievance against anyone to get upon
some elevated place and bawl it out to
the ncighborhood. Thus women on the
roofs of the houses yell forth their do
nestle grievances.

ONE of the most peculiar marine curl
ositics found at the bottom of the sea is
the brain stone, which in many ways
resembles the head of Il human being,
with its many brain-like burrows.
THE wearing away of the cliffs on the
shores of England has of late attracted
considerable attention and the problem
is being attcntivcly studied with the
view of preventing the crosivc action of
the waves as well as the streams that
tricklc down.
PROF. VAN BESSCHOTEN, of Middle
town, Conn, has discovered Il new in
sect which attacks and kills currant
worms. He proposes to cultivate this
useful insect extensively, with the hope
of discriminating the currant pest, which
all other means have failed to accom-
plish.

BELToN, Tex, Aug. 9-Farmcrs in
this county are getting duwucast over
the cotton crop outlook. Foil worms
have struck the crop over about one
half the county and Il great many farms
that would have otherwise yielded one
bale to the acre will now average from
merely nothing to Il quarter bale to the
acre. 1t is estimated that onc-half the
crop of the county is very badly in
jurcd. Before the attack of the boil
worm, which WAS first noticed about u
week ago, the prospects were never
better. In some parts of the county
rainy weather badly damaged it.
COLUMBIA, Mo, Aug. 10. The
weather crop bulletin of the state board
of agriculture for the past week is as
follows: The rainfall has been below
the normal, the only exception being
the northern portion of the southwest
section. Bates county reports
three inches on Saturday and Thursday.
The temperature was normal. The
sunshine vas SeaSonablc except in the
southeast section, where it was above
the normal. Rains are needed in all
sections of the state. The drought in
