The Boston Transcript suggests that it
would be happy thing for Europe if
the Franco German duel could be fought
in Africa. Recent news that the all. ged
interference of Germany in Dahomey

matte controversy suggests some such
possibility. Africa seems destined to be
the arena of bloodshcd long after bloody
reprisals are discreditcd in Europe.
England herself fights bloody campaigns
in Africa, and even the last exploring of
hers under Stanley wadcd klc-deep in

Chinese do not take all their money

Missionary Herald. "The Chinese liv.
ing in America have SO often been
accused of carrying home to China all
the money earned by them in this coun-
try that perhaps statement of the
libcrality with which those who have be-
come Christians give to HON. and foreign
missions will not be amiss. We find
that, with membership OF 16I in the
various churches of California the
Chinese have raised $6290.4O for all
bcncvolences, or $39.7 for each mem.
Der. For the expenses of their own
association they have given S2029. 90, or
$3.50 member. For home missions
the amount raised and expended has been
Sl9l3.45, or Sll.8S per member, while
Tor foreign missions they have given
S211S.10, or S13..4 per member, an
amount which, if equalci by all the
members OF our churches, would not onl,
put $1,000, 900 into the treasury OF thu

I'll MARKET CELERY.

Celery is now marketed in water tight
boxes or crates. and can be kept at least
week, even in warm Yves thcr. This is
how It Is done. The plants are pulled
up, the earth is shaken from the roots
and the roots left on the plants. The
plants are then stripped of wilted stalks
and after being cleanly washed and
rinsed are placed on a table, where they
are punched and packeed in the crates
holding water. Some buyers will object
to having the roots lett on, but there
is really an advantage in this. The crates
are made to hold from two to two and u
halt dozen roots.-American Farmer.
