Cold Weather Suggestion.

As cold weather approaches women
try todevise means for preventing hands
and lips from chapping. An excellent
remedy to prevent chapping is cold
cream. A manicure says that it whitens
the skin more than any preparation. 1t
has taken the place of the old time rem
edy-mutton suet. 1t should be well
rubbed into the skin, and g!oves, pref
erably white. slipped on. The palms of
the gloves shou!d be slit in several places
to allow the air and prevent cramps of
the muscles, and the finger tips clipped
off. Vaseline should never he allowed to
touch the hands. 1t turns the skin yell
low ard leaves stain OH tine nails that
is hard to clear away.
In winter cold water should he used
sparipgly. Its action roughens the skin
'unpleasantly. Tepid water. with n very
few drops of household ammonia and a
good iather of CASTLE. or borax scan, is
advisable. If the hands are inclined to
redness, the trouble lies in the way of
circulation. and slight gymnastics will
relieve it.

CHINESE F!SHMONGERs.
Their Wares So Tame That They Like to
he Handled.

In Canton tho fshmonger's is a most
important t-ade. The Chinaman is
born fisherman. He also has for ages
past cultivated system Of artificial
breeding and rearing of live fish for the
market. In the shops were displayed
live and dead fish, fish fresh and salted,
smoked and preserved. One variety was
like whitehall. in baskets, graded from
tiny things not half an inch long to
what appeared to be the same fish grown
8 or inches iAlength. These were sold
fresh sailed anu smoked Shark inns are
q delicacy. There were fish notified and
barred, bright and dull, fish Of quaint
and to us unknown shapes, but fore
most, above all, and everywhere to DO
seen, were the aEtificially grown live
fish. '
A wonderful creature was this, al
ways appearing to suffer from heat,
gasping at the surface of the water for
breath and recalling Verdant Green's
fish that were beginning to sweat and
complain. They were as tame as domes-
tic animals, seemingly careless of being
knocked about. thrown from ponds into
boats, from boats into tubs, from tubs
into buckets and then back into tubs
again. They were used to being handled
and inspected, and if disapproved put
back into the water to be sold, alive if
bought whole, or cut to pieces while
living and sold in bleeding chunks. A
thick, short fish is this, of the mullet
shape, averaging about Is inches in
length and weighing about 8 pounds,
but sometimes longer, and running mp
in weight to as much as or even 8
pounds.
When cut up, they bleed like pigs,
and to show how freshly they are killed
the salesman is in the habit of slicing a
live one into pieces, and with the blood
smearing all the pieces for sale, so that
they look reekirg and horrible to Eu-
r6pean eyes. To keep them alive in the
shops they are always placed in large
tub with q smaller vessel fixed above it.
From tho bottom of the upper vessel a
| bamboo, with one or two saw cuts in ii.
Gticks out, ard from those cuts streams
of water flow in thin cascades into the
tub beneath. Every now and then, when
| the upper vessel becomes empty, the fish
all rise to the surface, and glop, glop,
glop! take down both air and water.
Then an attendant, attracted by the
noise, plunges q bucket down among
them, and from tho wafer in which they
swim fills the upper vessel full again.
