Chinese josses come from Annoy and
Canton, where there are joss factories
which supply Celestials with any shapa
design or size desired. Josses are either
male or female. II the former, they are
tat and ungainly; If the latter, they are
possessed Of four arms. 0
The making Of these images is sim.

npon wooden or metal molda These are
Allied with wet clay, which dries, u
then touched up, dipped in molten glaze
Rnd allowed to cool. An average work
man can make hundred gods in q day.
The clay used is kaolin and is shaded
from red and gray to white and costs
about cent pound. A good jossmaker
san earn from 20 to 40 cents q day,
while an image costs to make on an
average about cents. Natives pay 5
cents for them; foreigners. IS. Josses
san be made in all colors, Opaque, trans
parent or colorless. The most effective
work is made by painting the clay with
thick white paint and then dipping it
In the glaze. Chinese curio dealers are
very fond of antique josses, as they can
be planted and dug up to order from the
time of Confucius to the present day.
The most popular is the ''black joss I"
This is made by painting a kaolin cast
with paint made of tar, bitumen, shellac
or varnish, wrapping it in paper and
then firing it in furnace. In this way
any shade of black can be obtained, and
the color burns through, as can be
proved by breaking.
The josses carved from wood and COW
cred with gaudy colors are often very
ancient. The prices vary from few
cents to $500 or more, according to the
size, workmanship and amount Of deco
rations. They range in size from an inch
to 10 or IL feet In the larger sizes the
carving is of superior quality and the
coloring admirable. Josses carved ont

made of jade, pale green or light blue,

Frog Catching as an Industry.

Frog catching is leading industry
along the river, and the most successful
operators work all night and sleep in
the daytime. Their tents along the river
are silent during the sleeping hours Of
the forenoon, but at night the swampy
shores are alive with the moving Ian
terms of the fishers, or rather the frog
gers. The frogs are caught with an or
binary fishhook, and the most successful
bait is a small piece Of red flannel. The
operator has a reflector lantern fastened
in the bow of his boat, and it is claimed
that the light makes the frogs snappish
without discrimination. The baited
hooks are passed freely among them as
the canoes, punts, sklffs and RATS are
pushed and padded through the
marshes. The frog catchers do profit
