A Chinese Family Burns an Idol for Bring
ing Bad Luck.
The corner of Jackson and Dupont
streets witnessed as hcathenish a scene
recently as any four corners of China
town ever presented.
It was about 1890 o'clock in tho fore
noon and the narrow thoroughfares
were crowded, but the crowd made no
difference to the Mongols who gath
cred there to perform their heathenish
rites.
First bonfire was built in the middle
of the street, then big wooden idol
fully three feet tall was carried and
placed in the center of the flames.
Twenty-four bowls of rice were laid
out in a circle about the fire; six bowls
of fat came next, and then four roasted
chickens.
Acrowd of Chinese gathered with un-
covered heads. First one salaamed to
the idol, then another, then all to-
gether. A tomtom was sounded until
those in the distance thought boiler
factory had started up near by.
The big idol grinned and grinned and
grinned, and did nothing but grin, albeit
the flames were fast consuming his
godly person. And as the idol grinned
the heather worshipers grinned, until
it became a grinning match all around.
Him bad luckee," said Tim Chum,
who was asked to explain the queer
performance.
It seems that the family of Bod Ding
Lee was consuming an old patron idol
of the family, because he brought ILL

was burned alive. - San Francisco

A despotic government has it's advan-
tages, and among them is the easy col
lection of a debt, provided the ruler is
friendly to the creditor. Ahmed Vefyk
Pasha, Turkish statesman, was once
governor of Broussa, and this story is
told Of his paternal rule: A rich man
had judgment pronounced against him
in favor of a poor man. The latter,
owing to the brides of the rich man,
could not obtain execution, and com
planned to Ahmed Vefyk. After hear
lug the case, Ahmed saw the debtor
riding up to the Konak upon beautiful
Arab horse. He ordered the creditor to
sit down, called messenger, and whis-
pered to him. The debtor entered the
room, and was surprised at the excep-
tional cordially Of the pasta, who in
vited him to sit down, to take coffee,
and to converse. Presently, when he
rose to lelsve. the pasta pressed him to
remain. and kept him more than an
hour, until indeed, messenger entered
the room and placed small bag ON the
table before Ahmed. When the debtor
next rose, Ahmed took the bag from the
table and gave it to him, stating, This
is yours. You owed SO much to this

green-goods communication. Like Al,
he had never heard of their schemes,
and like him he laid aside his conscien-
tious scruples at the tempting allure
ment and decided to be something of a
villain himself, as it promised to pay
SO well. AS a matter of course his ne
gotiations were conducted very secret
ly, for it would never do for Maj. Stout,
pillar of the church, to be caught in
any shady transactions.
AL and his iather-in-law were dealing
with the same firm, and by some fatal
chance both appointed the same day to
meet the gentleman in New York and
close the business, and each, entirely
ignorant of the others journey, landed
in New York only an hour apart. AL
had given as his excuse for visit to the
great metropolis that he wanted to
buy new team of horses and the ma
jor wanted to get some farm tools. Al
was cautious, and to avoid being
robbed of the money he took with him
with which he was to purchase the
spurious wealth he sewed all except a
few dollars in the lining of his coat;
the other he put in his large, old-fash-
iond wallet and carried it in his pocket.
Each were met at different rendez-
vous by delegation of the New York
parties and after some preliminary
signs and passwords, conducted to a

AL entered and took room adjoining
the one where the major was being
worked. AL was little shy, and in
sisted on the business in hand being
attended to at once; he did not care to
hear yarns, or partake of anything TO
drink. A package was produced by the
sharpers, said to contain five thousand
dollars in counterfeit money. "Well,
open it up and count it. l don't take
anything blind," said Al.
"Oh, it's all right, the goods are
there; but it isn't safe to open the
package here.
"This isn't safe business, anyway,
and III take the extra risk" remarked
AL, as he reached out to take the pack
age and open it. One of the fellows
pulled the package away and the other
turned out the gas, leaving the room in
darkness Both fellows caught hold of
AL, and with the dexterity of experts,
went through his pockets before he
really knew what was being done.
Then they gave him a shove and slipped
out of the room, locking the door after
them.
AL began to shout and slam about
the room, and that alarmed the chaps

GnaG mum Der OF years ago they were
flooding the country with circulars,
setting forth the ease and safety with
which the rural customer could pass
off counterfeit money, and the aston
ishingly low price at which he could
procure that which even bank experts
at times failed to detect as counterfeit.
VI course, then, as now, the scheme of
those vagabOndS was to get their
dupe's good money and give him bun
die of blank paper, cut the size of
greenbacks, or bundle of sawdust.
The green-goods men are very careful
Of their precious liberty, and do not
care to run the risk of handling 'sgen-
uine counterfeit bills, as one of them
called it in his circular.
Near Ayers Hill, in Potter county,
Pennsylvania, about ten years ago,
lived a sturdy, healthy young farmer,
AL Mayo AS he has since left that
part Of the country no harm will be
done by giving name and location.
In some way the green-goods men of
New York got his address, and he got
one of the regulation green-goods cir
culars. Al had good little farm, a
wife, and one child, but he was not
contented with the slow returns of
farming; he wanted to make money
faster. The tempting circular struck
him very forcibly. At first he threw it
aside as being rather risky. Then he
began to argue with himself: ''If
bank experts are deceived by this
money, and it passes just as we'll as
the genuine, where is the great harm in
using little of it. The fact of who
makes it does not make such great
difference AL had never been en-
gagged in anything that was not fair
and square, and his neighbors never
questioned his word. He prided him
self considerably upon that, but finally
his scruples gave way and he opened
correspondence with the New York
parties. Of course he said nothing
about it to his wife. If man has a
good, frst-class wife, he never consults
her when he is going to do anything
that isn't just straight; he's afraid that
she might dissuade him from his fell
purpose.

SELECTING SEED CORN.

A Better Quality Can Be Secured in
EARLY Fall Than Later On.
If good care is taken a better quality
of seed corn can be secured early in
the fall than at any other time.
A better opportunity is afforded of
noting the size and thrift of the
stalk, the earliness of maturity and
other characteristics that are essential
to having a good quality of seed.
With anything like a good crop a
better quality of seed can generally be
laid away by selecting from that
grown on the farm than from any
other source; but if this is done it is
necessary that good care be taken in
the selection and that the work he
done in good season.
And by careful selection of the
best each fall, thoroughly drying and
storing it away, seed corn can be Sc
cured that can be depended upon to
terminate under anything like favor
able conditions when planted in the
spring.
Nearly all corn changed from or e
locality to another needs to become
acclimated before.the best growth and
yield are possible, and it is. for this and
the lessened cost that, so far as is pos
sible, it is best to grow aud select the
seed-corn on the farm.
AS soon as the grain begins to harden
well, it will be good plan to go
through the field and select out enough
: for seed. If not convenient to pull the
ears at that time, mark them so that
they can readily be seen later on.
They should always be gathered,
dried and stored away before cold
freezing weather sets in. Seed corn, if
thoroughly dry, will stand very cold
weather without injury; but if wet,
cold weather Injuries the vitality seri-
ously.
It is always best to lay in a larger
quantity than will actually be needed,
so that a second selection may be made,
giving in this way the best quality.
Dry it thoroughly and then store it in
place where it is sure to keep dry
and where rats and mice cannot get
at it. @
Seed-corn selected in this way can
nearly always be relied upon, and, all
things considered, is the most econom-
ical as well as the best to plant. To
rely upon corn selected out of the cribs
in the spring when more or less of it
has been left in the field exposed to
rain, snow and freezing weather is =
poor plan.-St. Louis Republic.

THE PARSONS DAUGHTER.

Twas Sunday morn, and loud and cle:..
, The bells were sweetly blending
! And worshipers from far and near
Their way to church were vending.
With eager haste they filed the pews
To hear the famed exhorter,
But with the singers in the choir
There sat the parsons daughter.
Her voice gave out its sweetest tones,
She led the anthem finely.
And captivated all who heard.
For oh, she sang 1ivinely!
The old familiar hymns rang out
Like bugle calls, far reaching,
And kept the sinners wide awake
Who doLed all through the preaching.
But little thought she, as she sang
With so much taste ind feeling
= The while her lovely eyes were raised
I Devoutly toward the Ceiling
All, little thought the maiden then,
What havoc she was making;
Or that heart among the pews
For love Of her was breaking.
The parSon preached of love, forSooth,
On Sunday after Sunday,
Which made the folks more neighborly
And sociable on Monday;
Yet all the week. the modest youth,
In fear Of the exhorter,
Had not the courage to declare
How much he loved his daughter.
They met at Sunday.school and church,
& IN clear and cloudy weather.
And at the meetings through the week
Were often seen together;
= .et she was distant, suppose
And he no word had spoken,
And how il came about who knows?
But soou the ice was broken.
Then merrily the church bells rang,
The careless enes to capture;
Ind she more beautifully sang,
Her soul alive with rapture;
And he no longer from the pew
Was at his idol gazing,
But sat beside her in the choir;
His holiness was amazing.
and Seoa the wedding bells will ring
Their merry maddening jingle:
''TN take wife to bless my life,
\ Let those who will stay single"
And he who long had loved the maid,
Nor courage had to court her,
VIII at the altar proudly stand
Beside the parsons daughter.

WOMEN AS MEMS RIVAL S.
Walter Besant. the Novelist, Says the Men
Are Much Better Workers.

Walter Besant. the Novelist, Says the Men
Are Much Better Workers.
In discussing the revelations made by
the English census, which shows that in
that country there are fully one million
more women than men, Walter Besant
says there is no limit to the trades
which can be followed by the women.
He does not hesitate to say, however,
that as a rule woman's work is not so
good as mans He speaks in a way
which is certain to provoke discussion
when he declares that although there
are extraordinary women here and
there, without doubt, who will turn out
work much better than the average
man, much better even than the man
far above the average, the mass of wo-
men are not such good workers as the
average man. Some things, indeed, they
do not seem able to do at all Their
views Of art are petty, conventional and
finicky. They lower every art they
touch--always with these few brilliant
exceptions. And they are the worst enc
mics to labor of all kinds, because they
are cheap; they take anything that is
offered them; they are obliged to take
anything. In literature, for instance,
certain magazines are entirely written
by women, and the pay they receive
would be simply ludicrous if it were not
pitiful. One girl-a clever girl, who
can write well-was employed for some
time by man who brings ont cheap
novelties. She got fifty shil.ings for
writing story of thirty thousand
words; that is to say, a penny Tor every
fifty words. And she was nor allowed
to put her name to the thing, because.
as her sweater told her, 81 you put
your name the people will ash for you
and your price will go up And there
is religious society in this country
which gives ladies twenty or. thirty
shillings for three or four months work
and makes from ten to twenty times
profit The thing has been exposed and
the society still goes on doing it. They
pray solemnly at every meeting of the
committee, and then as solemnly, and
filed with holy professions, sweat, skin
and scarify those wretched ladies. The
appearance of women in the labor mar
keith every branch of it-without the
formation of a great women's trade
union to keep up the pay, has been, he
says, and is daily roductive of the
greatest disasters. Chicago Tribune.
