Living on s5 a Month,

Consul Bedloe of Annoy has recently
written an interesting description of the
condition of the laboring classes in that
part of China. The average workingman
earns IS month. Out of this he sup
ports his wife and children. With so
small an income it is necessary for the
family to be rigidly economical. The
daily fare for an Annoy workingman in
cludes a pound and a half rice, an ounce
of meat or fish, pound of cabbage or
other vegetable, and little salt and oil
and the fuel to cook it with, and the
whole costs less than six cents. The
laborer lives in a small house usually
only one-story high, about 20x30 feet in
aize. There are no gas, water or sewer
conveniences. The garbage is given to
the family pig, and the offal is carefully
preserved until it amounts to enough to
sell as fertilizer to farmers and garden
ers. Consul Bedloe says that the COM
mon belief that all Chinese read and
write and are well informed does not
contain particle of truth. The higher
classes, who do not exceed five per cent
of the population, have good literary
education. Ninety per cent of the people
however, are familiar only with 100 to
500 ideographs, which enable them to
write to their friends and also to keep
accounts in schoolboy fashion. They
seldom try to read, aud rely for literary
amusement upon itinerant readers and
story-tellers.

WHEN AND WHAT TO WRITE.
Bs Careful That Your signature Does
Not Get You Into Trouble

| u
Not Get You Into Trouble
One cannot be too careful in the mat
ter of ones signature: people who are
induced to sign their names to any doc
ument presented by plausible acquaint-
ances, are sure to meet with trouble soon
or late. l once read of a farmer who had
q hundred machines for cleaning wheat
shipped to him at once. He then re-
membered a few weeks before, he had
signed, as he had believed "a recommend
alton for the machine, but the tricky
agent made of it an order instead. A
lawsuit resulted, but the farmer lost his
case-for there was his name, in black
and white" signed to very clearly de-
fined order. Have you habit of scratch
ing your name idly on piece of paper
and leaving it in your desk? Then take
warning from little story: A wealthy
old lady had two sons-in-law. After her
death one of them produced what he
declared to be her will, giving him and
his wife superior advantages. The sig
nature was declared to be genuine by her
banker and all the business men in town
familiar with her handwriting. After
bitter contest in court, the son-in-law
least favored by the will was shot and
killed by the other. Then in a few
years the murderer came to die and con-
fessed that he had written the will him
self, without her knowledge OF dictation,
just above her signature, which he had
found written on the bottom of q sheet
of paper. There have been many orders
for goods forged in just the same way.
An incident of a different nature con-
tains another warning to the universe.
One of the postal regulations provides
| that when a letter is not delivered to the
parties to whom it is addressed it may
be returned without opening to the
sender, if his or her address is written
upon the envelope. A lady was visiting
a friend, and becoming wearied with her
stay, she wrote a letter to her husband
containing some uncomplimentary COM
ments upon her entertainers, and asking
him to send money for her return. For
some reason the letter failed to reach its
destination, and in due time the post
master forwarded it to the printed ad-
dress in the corner of the envelope. 1t
was the stationery used by her host,
professional man. He opened it I'M
thinkingly; the disclosures were ex-
tremely mortifying to both parties. and
brought about an estrangement. So, if
you would escape the risk of being
placed in an exceedingly uncomfortable
position, be careful what you write.

Results of Disobedi.nce.

Some years ago the Rothschilds held
large quantity of cotton in New Orleans,
which they instructed their agent in that
city to sell when cotton should reach a
certain price. The agent, believing that
the price of cotton would go beyond the
figure named by his employers, held on
till he was able to sell it at price which
netted forty thousand dollars more than
he would have got for it if he had obeyed
his orders from London. He joyfully
informed his employers of his success,
,upposing they would share his satisfac-
zion at the result. Imagine his surprise
and chagrin when he received a reply,
saying. in substance:
"The forty thousand dollars you made
by disobeying your instructions is not
ours. 1t is yours. Take it. Mr.. -.
your successor, starts for New Orleans
to-day"

ON THE HoMEwARD WAY.

The children from the schoolhouse,
Have come forth free and gay,
And, with merry song and laughter.
Are on the homeward way.
Theevening shades have fallen;
The toilers of the day
To rest them from their labors-
Are on the homeward way.
Sailors on the deep blue sea.
Where storms and sunshine play.
Have turned about their ships to 20
Upon the homeward way.
Grim soldiers after battle.
With saddened hearts. yet gay.
Have sheathed their swords. and Joyfd
Are on the homeward way.
The pilgrims in life's journey
Will leave their cares some day,
And be ready then to go
Along the homeward way.

Trihura.

While it is over thirty years ago since
ALLcoCK's Porous PLAsTERs were first
introduced to the medical profession and
public, the marked SUCCESS and unprece-
dented popularity which they met with not
only continues. but steadily increases. No
other plasters have been produced which
gain so many testimonials Of high value as
those continually accorded to ALLCocK's
PoRoUs PLAsTERs. and the only motive
for these exceptional tributes lies In the
fact Of their being a medicinal and phar-
maceutical preparation of superior value.
Additional proof of the true value OF ALL
cocks Porous PLAsTERs lies in
the fact Of their being
largely initiated by INSCRIPTIONS persons,
who seek to deceive the public by offering
plasters which they claim to be the same"
equal, "as good, better" "best porous
plaster" ETC., while It is in general appear
ance only that they resemble ALLCocKs.
Every one OF the so-called porous plasters
are limitations Of ALLCOCK's Porous PLAsr
TIERS.
Avoid dealers who attempt TO palm off In
ferior and worthless plasters that are pur-
chased by them at low rates for the purpose

WAYcRoss, GA, Dec. 15.-Waycross now
has a water supply equal to any city in
South Georgia. The water has been tested
and is pronounced to be pure artesian
water. and the supply is thought to be inex-
haustible The pumps at the water works
are in operation, and there is fine flow Of
ertesian water. The system has been sur
veyed and the mains will be laid at once.
The reservoir has been completed. A new
engine and improved machinery have been
bought, The machinery ia all Of the best
make and is in good working order. Mr..
Nelson is the superintendent of the water
works. When the system is completed
artesian water will be furnished all through
the city. The people OF Waycross will
have an abundance of water, and
the rates will be as cheap as
those of other cities. About four years ago
an artesian well was started on Albany av-
enue, near the court house. A depth of
several hundred feet was reached, put no
water could be found and the well was
abandoned. Then the city started the pres
emit we'll on Plant avenue, near the union
depot. The work was delayed for some
time till the water works commissioners
succeeded In selling them few weeks ago.
When the bonds were disposed OF the work
was recommended under new manage
ment, and with improved machinery. The
success of the new management OF the
water works was assured from the first.
