The Chinese STYLE Of Boats.

There are three Chinese junks in San
Francisco bay engaged in the shrimp
ing trade. A reporter, who visited one
of them, the Lund Sune, found every
thing arranged contrary to nature, &C
cording to the western notions. The
deck ran athwartship, the anchor hung
over the stern, the rudder had a large
number of diamond-shaped holes in it
and the batwing-like sail was hoisted
with an uncouth windlass, though it
would be quicker and easier to give the
halyards a few pulls. Then the ribs
came up a few inches above the deck
and the ship planking ran beyond the
stern, as if the ship carpenter had for
gotten to come back with saw and
finish his job. Nevertheless, the cap
tain of the Lund Sune regards her as
a clipper, and wants to enter in the
Fourth of July regatta, il there is to
be one.

mutton and wool, will come from that
far-off land. Mr.. Cobb states that up
to ten years ago the only means OF
getting rid Of their surplus stock was
to boil the carcasses down and ship the
tallow. Tallow dropped in price until
it did not pay to export it, and the
consequence was that the price OF
sheep fell until they anticipated having
to sell the carcasses at from II to IL
cents each. About five years ago the
system of freezing the carcasses for ex-
port was introduced, and the result has
been a decrease of stock until now they
receive from $3.50 to So per head for
the carcasses. At the average price
they are getting in London markets,
this makes about cents per pound net
for the mutton. They get three clips
of wool from a sheep before the carcass
is shipped, although the demand has
increased to such an extent that they
are now slaughtering yearlings for
shipment.

HOME TRAINING.
What 1t Means to the Son When He II
Launched Upon the World.

What 1t Means to the Son When He Is
Launched Upon the World.
The youth who his launched upon the
world without the advantages of good
home-training is placed at sad dis
advantage to start with. He will often
give offense without intending it, and
cause embarrassment when he means to
please. And the laws of etiquette are
like the laws of country-every one
is supposed to know them, and is pun
ished if he does anything to break
them. For this reason it is proper for
man to pay attention to acquiring
the art of etiquette and in one way it
is more requisite for him than it is for
woman, for man can never remain
passive in society, but has number
of active duties to perform. Neither
can he pick up so many hints upon de-
meanor as a woman can; he has not
the feminine gift of seeing without ap-
pearing to look, of covering mistake
almost before it is made. He has no
eye in the back of his head, neither
does he appear capable of carrying on
a conversation while taking in every
thing that is going on around him.
Under these circumstances it is plainly
necessary that man should study ETH
quette; he cannot imbibe the manners
of society unconsciously, so his best
plan is to find out exactly what he has
to do. Grace should not be consciously
attempted, but when ease of manner
is once obtained, grace is likely to fol-

half dozen hens with bright shining
feathers and keep them apart for
breeding. In ordinary circumstances
one cock will suffice for Is hens. It
is good to change the breeding cock
every second year, as it is known that
the young from such birds possess pre-
cocity and facility of fattening. It is
prudent not to have too many chick
ems together; overcrowding is inimical
for them as for other animals. French
peasants give nothing to the chick
pending the "a hours after they quit
the shell: this permits the yolk of the
egg in the intestinal canal of the chick
to be digested and expelled.
The earliest food should be soft
and lukewarm well-beaten paste Of
eggs and milk; but no overlooking.
Later add millet or canary seed and
allow the hen to root about for her
chicks through the yards and pick up
any green stuff within their reach.
AS q rule, whether old or young
birds, never allow them to be exposed
to the weather. Feed the fowls regu-
larly with pint of barley or oats dali
ly per dozen birds, plus the refuse from
kitchen and garden. In winter, be-
sides warm mashed potatoes, add some
tallow meters. greaves, or chopped
liver. When near knacker's yard,
boiled horseflesh is secured, but this
imparts a strong flavor 20 the eggs.

Ashes are ranked first as a vermin
killer, then gypsum, and next sand. It
is by rolling in dust that fowls rid
themselves of vermin.
Space, air, sun, and pure water are
essentials. In yards where trees can
not be raised, few shrubs will re-
pay planting; in summer, these will
form shade, and in the event of sud-
den rain, a shelter. The more do
mesticated poultry can be kept to the
lines of their natural habits, the more
profitable will be the feathered stock.
A hen that broods under hedge, and
returns after few weeks absence
from the farm, with a battalion Of
chicks following her, will rear them
stronger than such as are Matched in
a coop.
The perches ought to be of a uniform
height, say 40 inches; this will obviate
fightings at roosting hour for the high
er seats: will prevent the birds from
hurting their breast bones in flying up
and from injuring their feet when
dropping down. The floor of the cot
should be covered with dried earth, or
peat mould, or sand, renewed two or
three times a week. The scrapings
kept in a sheltered spot, will form an
invaluable manure. A straw floor is
Objectionable; it provokes damp, Of
fensive odors, and does not facilitate
cleanliness. For Matching the nest
ought to repose on humid earth, SO as
to insure uniformity of moisture and
GOODNESS.
In France, chickens are not raised
for the market; eggs and young
fatted fowls are the ends kept in view.
1t is best to have a good native breed,
and maintain it pure by eschewing
crossings; just as farmers select roots
and cereals to act as seed producers,
choose the best looking cock and q

THE LOST LETTERS.
Two Amusing Anecdotes Told by . Post
Once Employe.

Two Amusing Anecdotes Told by Post
once Employe.
An English merchant was advised
by his agent that a check for f60c
would be sent to him by the next mail.
1t did not come, and the merchant at
once made complaint at the post office.
Inc postman on that route was called
IN by the postmaster, and in answer
to questions, said that the missing
packet was duly received and deliv-
cred. He remembered it distinctly
Its shape, color and postnark. AS his
habit was, he had poked it under the
house door, with two other letters and
newspaper. The merchants wife had
picked up three packets, and was posi-
tive that there had not been fourth.
The postmaster went to the house
and examined it carefully. Then he
looked into the back garden. His eye
lighted on litter of puppies. A
thought struck him.
Have the dog-kennel cleared out.
please
Kindly have it cleared"
We'll, if it must be. Thomas, take
out the straw"
On the floor Of the kennel, torn into
a hundred bits, lay the missing letter
and check. A current of air along the
passage had blown the letter about; the
puppies, naturally enough, had
bounced upon it as a plaything and
had had good time.
Mr.. Baines, who tells this story in his
Forty Years at the Post Office adds
another equally good. A merchant
complained of the loss of a letter
mailed from his Office containing some
hundreds of pounds in Bank of Eng
land notes. Finally an expert from the
Post Office Department called upon
him.
Believe me, sir" the expert said, Il
have an object in what ask. Will you
kindly sit at your desk and recall each
operation connected with the missing
letter."
With pleasure l sit here. l take
a sheet of this note paper and one o.
those covers. Then l write my letter
and fold it up so. Next l go to my
safe and take out the notes, enter their
numbers, fold them, put them in the
letter, and the letter into the cover.
Then 1 seal them all up as you now see
me do"
Just so; and what neXt?"
why, my clerk comes in and clears
off my desk for the post"
But you wrote this one at noon, and
the post does not go out before night"
"Oh, yes, of course. 1 quite forgot to
say that money letter, for greater Sc
curity, put it in left-hand drawer"
Which one?''
Which? Why, this one. I open it
so, and BLESS my soul! Goodness
me: am very sorry for all the trouble
I've given. Here is the letter!'-
