In 1892 we sold to the Chinese $4,000. 900 worth
Of merchandise. and purchased from them &c.
0O0, 900 worth Of goods. In short, We buy from
them three times as much as we sell to them,
and such good customers are not to be sneeZed
at, so to speak. Imports sent hither from the
middle kingdom used to be considerably larger
than at present, but the Chinese have injured
their trade with us by sending over adulterated
teas and other fraudulent stuff. They are in
veterate cheats in such ways.
OF course, the Six Companies are chiefly re-
sponsible for the recalcitrant attitude of the
Chinese in respect to registering under the
Gsary law. Their displeasure is more dreaded
by the pig tailed heather than any legislative
enactments Of Congress. They hold most OF
the siant-eyed laundrymen of the United States
In the hollow Of their hand. To begin with,
they lend money to these immigrants, who are
OF the class of poor laborers, to fetch them
across the ocean and to start them in laundries
or in other kinds Of business. The interest
charged is SO heavy that the borrowers rarely
get out of debt. Bound by the pecuniary obli-
CATION, they are obliged to do whatever the
rich and powerful Six Companies require.
There is no telling how far the latter may deem
1t expedient to employ the occult agencies Of
Chinese secret organizations for the purpose OF
terrorizing their slaves into subsection.
1t was China, by the way, that Columbus
sought to reach by sailing westward-so sure
was he of the smalness of the earth. To the
day of his death he firmly believed that the
empire of the Great Khan not far from the
coasts which he himself had discovered.

vocating an increase in the European troops
employed in India, remarked: "You NAV de-
pend upon it. sir. the pale face of the British
soldier is the backbone of the Indian army"
Mr.. Sullivan once delivered a speech on the
relative merits of Irish and Scotch whisky. He

THE PEOPLE OF LAPLAND,

Civilization at Its Worst 10 Preferable to
Life Among Them.
From London Truth.
The Laps have reconciled me to civilization.
They are as cunning and sharp as they can be
and not in the least good natured. but some
how manage to live together without flying at
each others threats. In all instances they are
not frights l saw few comedy young women
and few crones with really intelligent and in
teresting faces and some beautiful infants. But
the men, without a single exception, were
hideous, bowlegged dwarfs. To the deteriorat-
ing influences Of dirt and marrying in-and-in
they superadd that of drink. The wife of
drunken husband is allowed, without the for
mality Of divorce, to leave him and take sober
one, or to neglect him for man that suits her
better. All have talent for making money.
and they hoard what they scrape together. The
peculiar bad smell of Lapp settlement is a
compound Of the smells in summer Of shambles,
dirty diaries, dirty kennels and of gatherings Of
dirty human creatures. Bluebottle flies swarm
on the reindeer hides and on bladders filled
with reindeers' blood, that out in the sun
to dry. Their bite Is venomous, and may be
fatal, except to Lapps. The huts reek with
'foulness unmentionsble.
1t seemed counter to the fitness of things for
creatures of such beauty as reindeer to be SUBJ
ject to those frightful dwarfs. A herd of / 800
were fetched down by dogs from the field for
US to see. They were q picture and SO gentle
that they would stand to be petted. The dogs
were told, when the reindeer were wanted. to

Created a Sensation.

From the New York Herald.
''what ship is that? Well, if that don't beat
me I'm lubber.''
II can't just make her out. lad. She carries
too much canvas for gale like this
Fright you are. and she'll break her sticks
or 90 on her beam ends if it freshens much
more"
This Is not usually the conversation carried
on in Broadway, and very naturally lost sight
and sound Of the brace of old tars in contem-
pation Of the object Of their mirth. She was
the first woman in hoops-real, bona fide. pro-
nounced hoops-I had seen for years. And the
sensation she caused was immense. The curious
craft was of the lines of 1860. She was a type
Of the soubrette and carried her great spread
OF canvas with stage stagger. She was low
and rakish. her rail being awash and her
spanker dipping at every lurch and sending the
spray eddying this way and that in fine style.
As she rounded the corner of 2sth street into
Broadway and ploughed through the heavy
swells in front of the Coleman House every
eve upon her. The wind was blowing a
half gale and, as the jolly mariner had remarked,
it really seemed as if she must capsize
or break her sticks. But she evidently had no
such fear, for she broke out her balloon topsail
and heightened her STAYS as she plunged into the
swells, answering her helm well in a sudden
change of a couple Of points to starboard. She
now running off free before the wind with
everything set that would draw. Her stu nsails
looked like two great wings and at every gust
of wind she pitched wildly forward as If she
would take the final plunge and go down nose
under. But just as everybody was anticipat-
ing this disaster she would again rise buoyantly
and scud along merrily at ten-knot pace.
Her colors were brown, red and orange. with
some sort Of flowers in the center. and her
mantop had holiday appearance because Of
them. I watched her until she was hull down
on the northern horizon and became satisfied
that she would finally get in il the wind held
and nothing carried away and she didn't
get her centerboard damned.

Only q Nickel Fare.

Deer' piedse.
1t was the passenger with the swelled nose
and scorbutic complexion who made the
mark as he handed $50 bill to the condutor.
He meant to say "tickets, but spoke absent
mindedly.
81 can't change that" said the conductor.
SCOT nothing less
"Then you can't ride. This amt no bank"
The man with the swelled nose began to look
serious. He explored his pockets one after
another. while the conductor stood waiting, but
seemingly in vain. Finally young person on
the seat opposite, who looked like student of
divinity, proffered car ticket to the person
with the bell punch. saying:
with the gentleman's permission will pay
for him. He can return it when he sees me
again"
The conductor accepted the ticket promptly
and punched the fare. though the man with the
sweled nose had made no response.
About three blocks further the latter got
up. sat down beside the theological individual
and unobtrusively pressed scent piece into

said, blinking at his impromptu benefactor,

The famous naturalist, Henry Lee directs
the amateur to procure shallow glass on
earthen ware pan that will hold at least a gal
Ion. Fill this to within an inch of the ton with
sea water and place it in any shaded part of a
room-not IN front Of q window Put in the
pan or large pebbles of clean shells of canal
height, say two inches, and on them Law clean
sheet Of glass, which. by resting on the pebbles.
is brought to within two and one-half inches of
the surface of the water.
Next select some mussels or limpets having
acorn barnacles on them. Carefully cut out
the limpets or mussels, cleaning nicely the in
terror of the shells. Then place a dozen or
more of the shells on the sheet OF glass. and the
barnacles upon them will be within convenient
reach of observation with a magnifying glass
If this be done in the month of March the ex-
perimenter will not have TO wait long before he
sees young cirripedes elected from some
of the barnacles. Up to the moment
Of their birth each of them is inclosed
in a little case shaped like a canary seed. In a
few seconds this casing is ruptured lengthwise,
apparently by the struggles of its inmate.
which escapes at one end and swims freely to
the surface Of the water, leaving the split case
at the bottom of the pan.
From three to a dozen or more of these
young ones escape with each protrusion OF the
feathery casting net thrown out by the parent,
and, as the breeding barnacle viii put forth It's
casting net at least twenty times in minute,
as many as 10000 of the progeny may be pro-
duced in an hour. These, as they are thrown
out fall upon the clean sheet of glass. During
their few days of freedom they dart about like
so many water feas. But. having had jolly
time for this brief space, they settle down and
become immovable for the remainder OF their
lives. One would imagine that no sort OF
existence could be duller than that OF a
barnacle.
HOW THE BELIEF AROSE.
Evidently the belief that geese were Matched
out from these barnacles arose from the slight
resemblance between the feathery appendages
protruded from the shells and the feathers Of
bird. From this slight origin sprang the story
that they contained real birds. What grew on
trees people soon asserted to be the fruit of
trees, and SO from step to step the myth
grew.
Ihe so-called ''barnacle goose breeds in the
far north-in Greenland, Iceland, Spitz5ergen
and Nova Zembla, and probably also along the
shores of the White sea. The bird is prettily
marked and is easily tanned. II is SO very good
to eat that perchance the monks of old may
have been disposed to sustain The fiction in or
der to conserve the privilege of having on their
tables during the long fast of Lent so agreeable
and succulent vegetable" or fish" as the
barnacle goose.
