quantities except in China and Japan.
It is three-cornered, and very strong and
tough. 1t grows very rapidly in the
wet lands, and usually there are three or
four crops harvested in q year. I brought
back some living specimens in flourish

in this country. Life in the districts
where the straw is grown is old and pic.

ers. There ore very few factories where
numbers of workmcn are gathered to-
gether. although the employer of the
labor is usually resident in Canton.
Even the children are enlisted in the
work. They are usually employed in
splitting the straw, which is the first
operation after it is harvested. This is
necessary because the straw contains
considerable sap, which, if allowed to
remain in it, would decompose and rot
the straw.
"In my journey through the country,
stopping here and there to inspect the
work, was constantly stumbling over
little Chinese youngsters gravely occupied
with sharp knives IN splitting the long
straws. These Chinese children are con-
stantly at work, and acquire at very
early age the knack required properly to
cut the straw. The novice cannot do
this, as it requires great care to prevent
the straw from being cut too much. The
moon-cyed children seem to have very
little curiosity, and looked upon me with
very little wonderment. After the straw
had been split in this way, and the sap
had been removed, the straw is dried or
cured in the same way that an American
farmer cures his hay. 1t is then very
tough and strong. The colors in the
mattings, which Lave of late years elected
so much admiration because of their
beauty and varied shades, are obtained
in very simple and primitive way.
Large pots of earthenwsre are filled
with the dyes, in the composition OF
which both minerals and vegetables are
employed. The former make much more
satisfactory and lasting dyes, and are
rapidly supplanting the latter altogether.
When the dyes are ready the straws are
taken and soaked in them. 1t frequent
ly happens in the fuer mattings that the
same straws have different colors. Oae
end may be blue, the centre red, and the
other end black. This is done by soak
ing the different parts of the straw in
different dyes. But the same primitive

sit is necessary while working the

ipulated. After the mating is finished
it is spread out on the grass to dry, the
back of the mating being turned up to
the sun. This drying process accounts
for the fact that the under surface of the
mating always appears yellow and faded
as compared with the upper surface,
which is not exposed to the heat. Some.
times, after the mating has been woven
and dried, the straws shrink, leaving
open spaces. These are closed up by
what is called the palming process, in
which the straws are crowded togethe-
so as to make q solid, even surface.
Sin making what is called damask
mating, it is necessary to manipulate the
warp string so as to drop certain colors
at intervals. Practically the same pro-
cess is observed in making cloths in
Europe and America, where color effects
are introduced at certain intervals by
throwing shuttle containing the colored
yarns in between the warp strings at diff
ferent points. In cloths these are known
as jacquard spots, from the name of the
loom used in producing them. This
loom, which was invented BY French
weaver, has been one of the most impor-
taut factors in the production Of high
class material. Although it is worked
by steam and is of the most complicated
and intricate nature, the principles upon
which it proceeds are much the same as
those used in the hand loom Of the
Chinese mating weavers. In the weav-
ing of damask mating Chinaman stands
on the top of the loom. He does what
the mechanical contrivance in the Jac-
guard loom also performs; that is, he
manipulates the warp strings, compress
ing them or lifting them, as is required
to bring out the damask effects.
"The Chinese laborer considers him
self fortunate when he makes five cents

the field. For miles and miles through
