Cause Of the Chinese Trouble.

Secret societies extend all over the
Chinese empire, and their nameis legion.
They are semireligious, and have, as a
rule, the power of life and death over
their members. The Triad society is one
of the strongest. 1t was the cause Of a
great rebellion in northwest and middle
China at the beginning of this century,
and its object then was to overthrow the
government. This rebellion lasted eight
years. It caused the devastation of the
provinces in which it went on, and there
was much bloodshed.
The secret societies were mixed up in
the Tai-Ping rebellion, which very nearly
resulted in the overthrow Of the Manchu
emperor. It is said that the present
troubles are largely due to these secret
societies. Some Of them have their
members in every province of the en-
pire, and they. embrace the Cinnamon
living at Singapore, San Francisco and
all other parts Of the world. Every one
has heard of the Highbinders of San
Francisco, who have their courts and
punishments, and are the terror Of the
Celestial colony there.-Frank G.. Car
penter in National Tribune.

Machinery and Farming.

In the country the farmer is now sup
piled with plowing and reaping ma
chimes, binders and grain sewers. A
man with team of horses or yoke Of
oxen did good work once in plowing five
acres of soil in two days. Now the three
gang or double furrow plow does the
same amount of work in one day. The
steam plow has in some cases superseded
the double plow, and made it possible
for one man to do in one day what he
formerly did in thirty days, or, in other
words, one man plows for thirty.
Once the farmer sowed the seed while
walking from side to side across the
newly plowed ground; the seed is now
placed in a hopper on wheels, a child
mounts the box, manages the team, and
in one day as great quantity Of seed is
scattered over the surface as it formerly
required ten men to SOW. All the way
through, from one end Of the farm to
the other, machinery has ightened the
labor of those who work the farms;
planting corn, sowing grain, planting
potatoes and gathering the harvest is
now done by machinery.-St Louis Re-
public,

Nature,. Power of Adiustmeut.

There is an interesting collection Of
cats in the cellars of cold storage ware
house on Front street. The temperature
of these cellars varies from 10 to 80
degs. Fahrenheit, and the rats and mice
were so destructive that three years ago
twelve cats were caught and placed in
them. At first they had to be closely
confined, but they soon adapted them
selves to their new conditions Of cold
and darkness, and now seldom venture
into the light and warmer air. When
brought up they at once attempt to re-
turn to their cold quarters.
Five of the original twelve remain.
Their hair has grown very thick and re-
mains without change through the year.
Two litters of kittens have been born In
successive years, all having very thick
hair. The room where they were found
was at temperature of 81 degs. s.-Phila-

one way Of Advertising.

One of the meanest and most heartless
of advertising tricks consists in sending
round to peoples houses, and especially
to ladies, advertisements in telegraph
envelopes, or in envelopes which initiate
them so closely that no one supposes that
they are anything else until they are
opened. Saturday evening-it was in the
evening, let it be noted, when ordinary
messages are hardly expected--a lady Of
the Listeners acquaintance, who had
been very ill, received one of these mis-
sives. She is weak and broken, and
being summoned to receive what she
supposed to be telegraphic message
gave her severe shock. A worse case
than this is an actual one of sea cap
tain's wife who lives in an outlying por-
ton of the city. The captains ship has
been long overdue, and all the people Of
the neighborhood sympathized with the
wife in her agonizing suspense. There
came call to the door :" for message"
and the lady answered 1t with her heart
in her mouth.
She tore open the supposed telegraph
envelope, only to read the message, "You
are wanted Immediately at - fremont
street to test the merits of the new -
sewing machine" Naturally everybody
in the neighborhood is indignant, and
such an advertisement is certainly bad
policy, for there is not a family there
about who would purchase sewing ma
chine of the make advertised if any
other kind was to be had. Perhaps a
like feeling of indignation, stirred up in
many neighborhoods, will have the effect
to put an end to this offensive and
mischievous kind Of advertising, which
no reputable firm, it would seem, would
engage in.--Boston Transcript.

POETRY.

Oh. mistress, whom the bards have called their
muse,
Thou chaste inspirer OF their choicest lay
Deign to accept this little gift, pray,
Unworthy, yet thy grace will not refuse;
Useless, and yet thy largeness still may use
The offering smaller hearts would cast away.
Divided homage poverty must pay;
Its Workshop as a temple It must choose,
And work and worship must be mingled there,
The incense blending with the forge's smoke,
And busy hours be intcrspersed with prayer,
And sacrifice and service, in one stroke,
Must slay the victim and the food prepare
Finding their surplice In a laborer's cloak.

childhood. One day after she had
known Mr.. Wellington few months be-
fore they were engaged to be married,
the young man had laughingly pulled
from his pocket a penny through which
some foolish person had bored hole.
Elsie was just about to appear in new
character, so Horace, in fun, remarked,
''Then take this penny and keep it for
luck; you will never fail in part 30
long as you keep it."
Elsie entered into the spirit Of the

only get my own talisman split I would
hang the penny onto it."
'That is easily done," said Horace, as
he took the ring in his hand and ad.

Evans, in Sheffield, and have it split"
Accordingly he took the ring, and in
few days returned it with the penny
hanging to it. Elsie fastened ribbon
to it and wore it around her neck.
Alas! that ring and that penny were
the parallels of the-characters of the two
persons to whom they had belonged.

entered the golden heart and broke it in

could deliberately lay plans, and take
years to mature them, for the ruin of a
young girls life. But 30 it was with
Wellington and Elsie Underhill.
Plenty of people there are living yet
who remember the success of the young
actress on the Princess boards, and who
remember with sorrow her sudden de-
parture and death.

he had left others, to droop and die or

CHRISTIAN WORKERS.
Sixth Annual Convention in Session
at the National Capital.

bixIn Annual convention IN session
at the National Capital.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.-The sixth an
nual convention of Christian Workers
in the United States and Canada began
a six days session at the Congregational
church in this city yesterday. The OBJ
jects of the convention is the mutual ac-
quaintance Of Christian workers. and
the discussion of practical schemes and
methods of work.
When the hour for opening the con-
vention arrived the church was well
filled. The first half hour was devoted
to prayer and praise service, led by Rev.
r. A. TORY, of Chicago, and Rev. f.
M. Lamb, of Williams Bridge, N. Y.
Rev. DIR. S. H. Greene, of the Calvary
Baptist church, made the address of
welcome in behalf of the christian min
istry of this city. He bade them all
hearty welcome and said they were all
one in Jesus Christ, and in their evangeli-
cal work.
The address of welcome for Washing
ton, the home of the nation, was deliv-
cred by Postmaster General Wana-
maker. He said he felt somewhat out
of place to speak for Washington, yet
there was sense in which all Ameri-
cans may claim citizenship here.
Whatever was the word best expressing
love, said Mr. Wanamaker, was the
word that he wished to be understood as
using.
At the afternoon session number of
papers were read bearing upon the work
of the convention at different places
throughout the United States. There
was also a night session at which several
papers were read.
