The extraordinary capacity of the
Chinese in all forms of fabrications,
their great ingenuity and faculty of
imitation, their ability to labor four
teen and sixteen hours q day on few
handfuls of rice, and their willingness
to work for wages that would not pay
for the tobacco consumed by an
American mechanic, will make them
dangerous competitors in all lines of
manufactures, particularly in the
production of silks, cottons and other
fabrics, predicts the Atlanta Constitu-
tion. If they should enter generally
into the manufacture of textiles with
cotton Of their own cultivation they
would effectually close the mills of
Manchester, which have already been
seriously crippled by the development
of the industry in India, where the
increase of spindles during the last
ten years has been greater than IN any
other part of the world.

A sunbeam is small thing yet il
has power 10 fade tho carpets and
curtains, 10 rot the blinds, and for
this reason some folks carefully ox-
cludo the sunshine. What is the re-
suit? The family is always ailing, tho
young girls have a waxen white skin
and a weary, pinched expression of
countenance. Their appetites fail,
they fall into such a bad state of
health that the doctor is called in. In
olden days he would have shaken his
head, perhaps, and friends would have
whispered that dreaded word, ode
clinel" Nowadays he notes the pale
gums and waxen skin and says "anae-
mia; )" prescribes iron and milk, fresh
air and exercise, and often a change.
If he knows nothing about the dark
ened rooms he will be puzzled as to
why no permanent improvement mani
tests itself, and, probably, the patient
will seek other advice. New York Ad.

HOW TO DUST.

The ideal maid is the maid who dusts
properly. But where do we find our
ideals? Not in our own parlors, as o
rule, but in parlors of other women
who do the busting themselves. The
careful housekeeper will have faded
upholstery, dull woodwork and badly
defaced carving unless she is willing
to pay the price of eternal vigilance.
She must give her a feather buster,
soft silk old handkerchiefs for the
piano and the polished mahogany and
chees-cloth buster for ordinary use.
The marbles and ornaments must have
a separate buster from the furniture
and a large, soft piece of muslin can
be used to polish the picture glasses
with. A chamois and a little oil do
for finishing touches for the mahogany
and polished oak and a soft brush
must be used to penetrate the crevices
of carving. A whisk broom is also
necessary for the upholstered furni-
ture, and a cane dust beater is well
used twice a week. Boston Herald.

According to the New York Indepen-
dent Cornell has tested the principle
of cO-education twenty years, and
proved it q success. It is stated that
the number of young women attend
ing the university has increased, so
that the accommodations in Sage Hall,
the women's dormitory, have become
insufficient. The Trustees have de-
cided to enlarge the dormitory at an
expense of about $50, 900, and the
work will be begun early in the spring
in order to have it completed by Sep
TENDER 1st. The women's gymnasium
will be moved into the new portion of
the hall, and enlarged so as to accom-
modate a class Of seventy-five at once.

oLp-TpE QUILTING FRAMES.

Fortunate are housewives who still
possess the quilting frames of their
grandmothers, for these serve admira-
bly, to dry curtains upon. Two or
three curtains can be dried on them at
once. One curtain is stretched over
the others and each held in place by
pins or tackled with coarse stitches to
the lasting or cloth that is bound over
the quilting frame. Indeed, so much
more convenient are these frames than
the tedious methods of pinning the
curtains to floor with sheets spread
out to protect the carpet that every
housekeeper who has her curtains
laundered at home should have one.
Some large furnishing stores have
them for sale, and where these stores
are not accessible, any carpenter can
make frame. 1t will not be expen-
sive, as it is extremely simple in de-
sign, anu takes little material, Four
boards, each about three inches wide
and one inch thick, are all that is
needed. Two of the boards should be
eight or nine feet long, and the other
two five feet. Having measured the
longest curtain you own, let the car
penter bore several holes in each
board SO that the four pegs he will
turn for you may fasten the frames
into an oblong the size of any curtain
in the house. While the curtains are
drying they can be laid on the grass
or against the fence in the back yard,
or, in stormy weather, stood up in any
convenient room. New York Times

The great Sahara desert Of Africa is
regarded as the hottest region in the
world. The vast plain which extends
1000 miles from east to west, and
1000 from north to south, has tenn
perature of $50 degrees Fahrenheit in
the hottest days of summer. This is
about the temperature of the hot room
in the Turkish bath. It is said that
the caravans which usually consist of
from 500 to. 1000 camels, with their
assistants, experience great suffering
through the intense heat and the de-
priyation Of water, as the distance be-
tween wells very often exceeds ten
days. There are numerous instances
on record where whole tribes have
persisted from thirst, as the wells and
springs to which they had journeyed
had been dried up by the heat. 1t
would be impossible for anyone but
the acclimatized Moors, Berbers and
Arabs to live, even for day, in the
heart of the rainless Sahara. In spite
of the fact that the days are extremely
hot. the nights are nearly always I'M

Obliged to burden themselves with
