remarks the Philadelphia Record.
Eight or ten thousand horses, which
formerly belonged to the old car lines,
and were IN important factor in the
consumption of hay, have disappeared.
and nothing takes their place in this
particular. The popularity of the troll
leys for pleasure travel also has cut into
the business of the liveries, anil here,
too, with smaller stables, the demand
for the farmers principal product
lis lessened. A conservative estimate
rlaces tho amount of hay now received
in this city at only two-thirl OF what
was brought in few years ago, the
great falling off being due entirely to
the shrunken market and consequent
lower prices. Altogether the quota
tions on hay have dropped about fif'

The Chinese are frankly following
the example of the japanese in many
things. They are evidently bent on
profting to the full by The lessons OF
their late discontinue. They are
sending young men to Europe to study
in the universities just rs the Japanese
began to 40 score Of years ago. Sew
eral Of these students recently arrived
in Berlin, having sailed from Shanshai
with dozen others, who landed Mt
Marsei!leg, four of them being des-
tined for the Paris lycees, four for the
English universities and four for
Russian unworthy. In Berlin there is
o boarding house of which most of the
Japanese students who go there live.
The Chinese on learning OF its exis-
tence at once presentedlthemselyes for,
admission. They were all the more
anxious not to be denied as they were
informed that the cuisine was Japan
ese. The japanese who were already
guests of tho house also manifested an
earnest desire that the Cinnamon
should bo received. This in itself
would seem to show that the two ma
tionalities, despite the late war, arc
not wholly incapable of approaching
each other.

have is just 'boy, SO far rs their en-

me that he had been whipped for some
act of lis in the mines, and he felt
very revengeful over it. The picture
in which you gee him was taken outside
of Christisnia just before that 'boy'
left us. On his way back to the mines
he was murdered, but it isn't likely
that the murderers got any money, for
those fellows bury their stuff. They

s1ENDrNG AS A TRADE.

One of the charitable activities of
public. spirited women in London that
is said to be doing much good is u
"mending guild" The probabilities
are that there will be one in New York
soon. Mrs. L. S. Bainbridge, Super.
intendent OF the Woman's Branch of
the New York City Mission, thinks
we'll of it, and intends to organize a
guild right away.
The Intention is to furnish work, in
the wny OF mending and plain sewing,
for that class which is always so pitt
fully prominent in large cities-that
Of persons who have been reduced in
circumstances, and yet have so much
pride that they cannot take employ
ment which would be welcomed by
others who always have been accus-
toned to laboring Tor others. These
reduced women are no. lazy. Indeed,
they are eager for work. But they
do not know how TO procure it, and
consequently are in state OF destitu
tion that is worse than any endured
by their sisters whose wants arc moro
often brought to the notice OF the
public.
In hundreds of families in New York
there is "mending basket" that is
never less than full and running over.
There are garments Of all kinds that
seem to become ragged without rhyme
or reason, and that never yield to the
attacks of needle and thread to any
satisfactory extent. Yet the house.

torn clothing reduced, aud is willing
to pny reasonably Tor help. She
knows, however, that the ave rage

is not likely to be satisfactory if done
by her.
Here is the chance for The reduced

terests. All that they get is buried in
some secret spot, and they take turns
in guarding it. have never heard OF
one OF them playing the others false,

"Havipg got our diamonds, the next
thing to do was to get them out OF the
country. If you go out by the south
ern coast you have to show bill of
sale for every gem in your possession,
and you aro searched pretty carefully,
too. That is the sort OF protection
the company gets from the Govern
ment. or course couldn't show any
bill Of sale for my purchase. The
thing to do was to get out of the coun-
try some other way. We struck across

came to the river, and then travelled

had some great hunting. The animals

above decreasing his period OF service
by secreting o few diamonds about
him if he can. To keep the men from
getting away with all the diamonds,
the company has an overseer for every
SIX or eight workers. AS the Katiirs
work with no clothing other than an
extremely small breech clout, oppor-
tunities for external concealment are
very small. Every one of them is
carefully searched every day before
he leaves the mipe. There are three
punishments for Kafirs caught stealing
diamonds. One is whipping; and 1t
is no joke the way it is done there.
The second is Imprisonment, which is
likely to include whipping, and the
third is being committed to the break
water to break stones. In spite OF
all these precautions there arc many
diamonds stolen yearly.
"Well, to como back to the subject,

BEEE MARROW.

To melt the marrow, put it in cup
or other small vessel and place over
boiling teakettle, then strain, and
when nearly cool stir thoroughly with
teaspoon; then put away under
cover. 1t is valuable as o remedy for,
chafng in infants, for chapped hands,
for sore feet, caused by much walking;
and if your little ones have o
tendency to canker sores round the
mouth, nothing is better or more
healing than beef marrow. For those
who use pomade for the hair, it IS ex-
cellent if mixed with little sweet oil
md stirred till white. 1t strengthens
the scalp and promotes the growth of
the hair. If desired, few drops OF
rose water may be added--New Eng
