the world at large by the looks of its

CHINESE FARMING.


Cow the Land Is Fertillzed and Cultivated
The soil of China is we'll cultivated.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
tools used are primitive and crude.
Three crops year are by no means
uncommon, and ii any sign Of fail
ure OF crop is seen, the seed for au-
other crop is stralghtWay SoWn. 1t
is wonderful, writes Frank G. Car
penter. EoW small the farms are.
There are thousands Of holdings IN
China which are less than an aero,
and some are even as small as the
tenth Of an acre. 1t is estimated
that an acre Of land will in the bet
ter parts OF the empire support a
family Of six, and volume could be
written on Chinese agriculture. The
use Of fertilizers i; universal, and,
though there are practically no horses
and few cattle, there is no land which
is so we'll fed. Everything is saved.
Thousands Of men do nothing else
but gather up bits OF fertili-ing mat
ter and sell them. The refuse OF a
rich family will bring more than that
of poor one, and the slopS OF the
foreign part Of Shanghai are faImed
out annually for sum which gives
the city most Of its edu ational fun 1.
Potato peelings, the parings OF finger
nails, the ShavinXS o. the bead and
ruined houses form parts of the fer
tilizing material, and this is usually
put together In such liqu d form that
not bit Of it is wasted. The ma
manure is Kept in great watts and the
farm is Watered like garden. Each
plant gets its daily food and drink.
A dipper full from the vat is put
into each bucket Of water, and the
mixture is poured in at the roots of
the plants All throu b this part OF
China such fertilization goes on, and
from $40 to $50 year is sometimes
spent on an acre OF land.
The Chinese plow is pulled by
water buffalo, the ugliest cattle
known to man. The butfalos grind
the rice. tramp the mud and straw
for making the sun dried bricks OF
which their houses are made, and do
all sorts OF farm work. When grazing
and when not at work they c
minded by the little children, who
sit upon their backs and who have
W nderful control over them. They
crawl uo on the backs of the buffalo,
getting first upon the horns Of the
animal, which bends down its head
t,r them. AS soon as they are
astrde of the neck the buffalo wi |
gently raise its head and the boy
will slide down its neck til he has
firm seat Just behind It's sh ulders.
Here he will stay all day. and l have
seen little fellows of Cr yea
sound as.eep upon the hacks OF thee
animals, which are often dangerous
and ugly in their act ons toward
strangers. A good buffalo is worth
about $40, and farmers ten enter
sort Of farmers loan association for
the use Of a common fund Of money
from year to year by which they
stock their farms.

you would secure his lasting friend

There is some truth, at any rate, in
this view Of the case; and it applies
even to dogs as is shown strikingly
by story related in Gold, Sport and
Coffee Planting in Mysore," by MIR.
r. II. Elliot
Mr.. A. told me that he once
wounded a tiger which a:terward
sprang on him, knocked h n down,
and seized him by the hand and a IL.
With Mr.: A. was large dog, which
at once attacked the tiger, and di-
verted him from Mr.. A. After driv-
ing off the dog. the tiger returned 10
Mr.. A., and commenced worrying
him, but was again attacked by the
dog.
The dog was driven off three or
four times, but the tiger was all the
while losing strength, and finally
died. The dog was unin ured. Now
comes the curious part Gf the story.
The dog, which was not afectionatc,
belonged to Mr.. A 's.brother, and pre-
viou ly had taken no interest in any
one but his master. Now, h"wcvcr,
he refused to 20 home with his
master, bat stuck closely TO the
wounded man. and when some car.
bolic acid, which caused pain, WAS
applied by Mr.. AS brother to the
wound, the dog began TO growl and
show other signs Of diSpleasure.
He would DOT allow anrone to come
near Mr.. A. e..ccpt his own special
servant, and lay under the bed with
his nose sticking out, keeping close
guard.
Wien Mr. A. was ca ried TO !iIe
d .ctor, some thirty-1lre miles away,
the dog went, too and on the dc,.ior S
applying carboic acid and setting the
bunes, viii h caused the patient 10
cry out, the dog at once seized the
doctor Dy th> leg.
In about three months Mr.. A. was
gulte cured. Afte' that the dog lost
all interest in him, and returned 20
his master: aud if he met Mr. q. by

recognition Of him by the 1aintc>t

When they reached the cottage they
we're both laughing and talking gaily.
Mr.. Blogden showed disposition to
linger at the gate and limited so broadly
for an invitation to come in, that Mrs.
Lester felt called upon to give it.
Then he stayed and stayed until 1t
was obviously impossible to put off din
ner any longer, and he was invited to
dine. It was a merry little dinner.
Everything on the table is paid
for" thought Milly, with delight.
Then, after dinner, when the two
we're left in the parlor together in the
dusk, Blogden reached out and took
Milly's hand.
"Millicent, are you not poor girl
now?'
Eyes" said Aillicent, trembling.
"Then can ask you to be my wife.
When you lived in your old home, IN
so much style and elegance, l was
afraid to ask you. I did not think you
cared to marry any but very rich
man; and, besides, although I am well
off, 1 was afraid you had been accus-
toned to too much money to be salts

now see that you are not so depend
ent on money as I thought you were.
Can you love me?-and if you can,
can you be satisfied with what can do
for YOU? Remembr, my wife can only
have one carriage-you had three or
four-and although I hope to be mil
lionaire before l die, I am not one

den's shirt. front.

thing was arranged.

,IarIDorOuph's Gifts.

It was characteristic Of Marlbor.
ough that from apparently small in.
dlcations he possessed the power OF
divining the enemies plans, and was
thus enabled to fOrestall them. From
the experience of the recent past he
foresaw with admirable clearness the
immediate future, and was able. as
1t were, to map out coming events
from a study Of the position at the
moment. He could balance future
probabilities with strange accuracy,
and could f1ll In with livii y figures
the sketchy outline furnished by the
spy.
Without this peculiar gift-one OF
the instincts that mark the born
general-no campaign can te directt
ed with success. To realize what is
going on bevond range Of hills, or
any other NEURAL barrier to human
vision and out Of the reach Of recon
noitering parties, IS one of the
problems which perpetually confront
the military commander. On the
correct solution OF that problem de-
pends greatly the success Of all mill
tary operations.-The Life Of Mari.

GweeDinp with Hose.

One Of the most notable OF the
present Ceutury's small inventions IS
an air-pump for cleaning purposes
y hose pipe charged with air under
fifty pounds pressure to the sou
inch is turned upon the article or
room to be c,e"ned. 1t is used in
preci,eiy the same way as the water
and hose for washing purposes. 1t
is far more effective in its result than
brooms, beaters or brushes, as it
searches out and penetrates every
crevice and cleft in woodwork.
This device is at present applied to
cleaning CARS, but so perfect is lis
work that it is only question OF
t NE when it will come into use for
other purposes. Hotels and large
buildings might be swept cut and
d..sted in an incredibly short space
OF time. Carefully managed, this
air pressure would rid the room OF
every particle OF dust, clean furni-
ture, carpets and the heavier articles
uf bric-a-brac and ornaments. IT
wtuld 20 the work Of dozen people.
1t is now in order for some home
missionary to invent some simple de-
vice that will work an air-pump and
current for household use. Its in
trodu ton would reyolutioniZe house
keeping and solve the heretofore
hopeless problem Of clean rooms. and
will keep furniture covers and car
pets. 1t would be economical, as 1t
would render less service necessary
aSd would save a large portion OF the
wear and tear Of furnishing textiles.

FISH WIEH A MIRROR
AN APPARATUS FOR FOOlING
THE FINNY TRIBE.
The Invention Alleges that by the Sight Of
Their Own Reflections the Gullible Fish

Perhaps It Won't Work.

There are many devices for ensnar-
ing the gullible fish. William R.
Lamb Of East Greenwich, r. l., has
invented and patented new one.
The principle Of Mr.. Lambs inven-
tion is to cause the fish to see himself
in a mirror behind the bait. where
upon, imagining that the bait is to
be snapped up by another fish, hast
ems to Sc it himself, and the hook
at the same time. At present there
is n testimony as to the value Of Mr..
Lambs invention in practice.
The invention. according to the
letters patent, comprises a mirror
preferably Of circular or oval form,
attached to tish-line by means OF a
ring fast to the frame Of the mirror.

Picturesque Dress,

The historical dress for Greek ladies
was d large piece Of cloth a foot
longer than the wearer was tall, and
as wide as her aims could stretch.
A belt party kept it up, and safety
pins we're used in very early times.

sisters. When once she his got 1t on,
she stands with extended arms, and
another lady fastens girdle around
her waist. Then she pulls up the
superfuous length through the glrdle
and lets it hang over, and there she
is. Straps, like braces, were some
times worn and crossed over tina

Ladies had no bonnets: they muffIed
their heads in told Of their cloaks,
or wore fiat hats They were all
very beautiful and charming, as VIC
see in the Tanagra terra cottas. 1t
must have been delightful to live in
Tanagra. 1t appears, on the whole,
that we cannot hope to revive Greek
dress. The dress was designed for a
warm climate, and sor beautiful,
shapely race. 1t had its advantages
