The Boston Watchman publishes
interesting information regarding For
mosa from the Rev. John L. Dearing:
Among other improvements proposed
are those with refereno, to the condi-
ton of the cities. Chinese cities are
proverbial for their uncleanliness.
Within a few weeks the government
has had the condition Of most Of the
larger towns examined - foreign and
native experts with reference to pro-
v1ding a water supply and sewerage
system, and the report has been most
favorable, and it Is likely that at once
steps are to be taken to make the con-
ditions more healthful and cleanly. In
one case they propose nothing less
than to build a new city Of Taiwan in
South Formosa. The new city has
been properly laid out and water sup
ply and drainage arranged for, and
now It is intended that the old city,
with its crumbling mud walls, Its filth
and denominations, shall be left. II
Japan succeeds in removing from her
Chinese cities in Formosa those fea-
lures which are a disgrace to every
city of China, Pekin and Tien-tsin not
excepted, she will deserve praise. An
interesting problem is at least on her
hands. -,.------- =

A very curious point has been sub
mitted to the Derbyshire Football AS
sociation for decision. 1t Is as to wheth.
er artificial limbs are to be permitted
IN the play. 1t seems that the Buxton
Football Club had several members Of
its team severely injured in conse-
Quence Of a member Of the Matlock
eleven having played with an artificial
arm. 1t was reported that In Derby
shire alone there are number Of foot
ball players who, owing to the loss Of
an arm, use artificial limbs. They are,
described as regular terrors" on the
football field, since when once they get
ION" to the ball they swing their dunn
my arms around with such force as to
either fracture skulls or cause concus-
sion of the brain. It has now been de-
termined by the association that arti-
fetal limbs are henceforth to be barred
in all football games.

Outdoor Breakfast Rooms.

At one magnificent summer cottage
on Long Island the summer breakfast
room has been erected in the form OF a
nympheum-literally translating this
means a resort or playground OF
nympbs, and it cost very handsome
sum of money, indeed. The chief
nymph of this Greek bower gave carte
blanche to her architect, who first
covered sixty square feet of level turf,
overlooking the blue Sounds waters,
with a charming mosaic floor, IN
polished tiles, of white, blue and
green.
From this spring upa series ofthirty
white marble Greek columns, to sup
port roof of glass, SO arranged as to
slide and fold back, and thus open
this lovely room without walls to the
blue heavens. Directly in tbs centre
of the tiled floor sunk basin, eight
feet square, holds ornamental fish and
water lilies, and out of the centre
springs very charming marble
nymph, who stands in perpetual
shower of sparkling water. Water
plants and blooming flowers are
banked about the edge Of the fountain,
here and there in bronze tubs stand
palms andferns, and on carved perches
are a snow-white cockatoo, with rose
topknot, and dazzling red and green
African parrot.
A homemade nympheum may be
built of wire. A dry floor is the prime
requisite for one of these fairy apart
ments, and for that reason place IS
selected in the garden, and the first
thing is tolay the space with tiles, or
have it covered with a beautiful
gravel of selected little colored pebbles
and snowy sand. Around or over this
the wire framework is placed, climbing
rose branches and grape vine tendrils
wound in and out of the wire mesh,
and there the delicate furniture, break
fast tables and chairs are placed

Cleaning the Bread Pan.

A woman hates worse than anything
else the cleansing of the bread pan or
bowl after having made up "batch'
of bread. Unless absolutely necessary
to put the bowl away at once, fill it
with cold water and let it stand for an
hour. By that time all the hard
particles will have become softened
and fallen to the bottom OF the bow.
The practice of putting the bowl and
molding board away unwashed, in the
-four bin, as so many do, is most rep
rehensible. The tiny particles will
work off into the next lot of dough and
ferment in the raising, and often spoils
a whole baking of bread, while the
baker is wondering what possesses the
stuff. Absolute cleanliness should
always be observed in attending to
bread, cake or pastry cooking to obtain
the best results.

Says the American Agriculturist:
Judge Baker, of Indianapolis, Ind,
used vigorous language concerning the
practices Of certain street railway OFF,
cials. "If the law does not give re-
lief there ought to be provided by pop
ular subscription a lot of lamp posts
for hanging up the fellows who go into
such business. With these Napoleonic
systems Of highway robbery I have no
sympathy. These fellows will go on
until they viii finally induce the peo-
pie of. this country to lynch them. "
Indianapolis is not the only city that
is suffering from this sort of oppres'
sion.

Or that Mrs. Arp would realize her
rart of that Holt estate in England.
Good gracious! She should have car
riage and pair of Kentucky bays before
next Sunday to ride to church. But it is.
an old proverb that if wishes were
horses we would all take ride. And
there is an old Persian fable that tells
how an old man was always wishing
for something and one night as he and
his old wife we're brooding over their
poverty and wishing for different
things, genus came in and told them
they might have three wishes, and he,
would grant them. Of course, they were,
happy beyond expression, and as theoid
man was hungry he wished right away
for plum pudding. Immediately it was
set before him in silver platter, and
this foolish wish made the old woman
so mad that she exclaimed: 'T wish
that it was hung on your nose" Pres
to, quick the pudding jumped up and
was fastened to the old mans nose.
They had but one wish left, and the old,
man had to use that in wishing the
pudding loose again. And so the good
genus left them as poor as they We're
before he came. I suppose that
fable was designed to teach us that it
is better to trust the Lord and be-
content with our lot. Nevertheless,
most of US would try the genus if he
would come.
Once more let me write of John
Quincy Adams and his beautiful poem.
I have received it from just score Of
good friends, but only two of them
have the full poem of twenty stanzas
of eight lines each. Some of them
have fourteen, some twelve, and one
only eleven. One from Mrs. Hollo-
man, of Eatonton, has not the last
stanza, beginning
"These are the wants o: mortal man,
cannot need them long"
But has instead q stanza that / do
not find in any other copy. Which Is
the revised version I do not know.
The poem is remarkable not only for
its thought and felicity of expression,
but because its author, ''the old man
eloquent" was the only president who
ever wrote poem or even Q verse, so
far as we know.
As some of these lady correspond
ents have suggested that Goldsmith
was the author of the lines,
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long," s5
Let me say that Young preceded
Goldsmith forty-four years, and his
expression is, "Man wants but little,
nor that little long" Goldsmith only
added q word or two to make the
measure fit his ballsd.-BmL ARP, in

To Externinate Insects.


Cleanliness is the best safeguard
against insects, fresh air, soap and
water being all powerful, if no scrap
or refuse be left to decay unnoticed.
Floor and shelves of pantries should
be wiped with damp cloth daily.
The outside of all utensils kept per-
fectly clean, the slightest carelessness
in this particular being sufficient to
bring whole army of pests.
Covered utensils not in daily use
should have their covers left slightly
ajar to admitair and prevent mustiness,
and ofttimes rust.

Camphor will prevent the ravages of

tablespoons of plaster of paris, one
teaspoon of sugar and one tablespoon

To guard against buffalo bugs the

When Morse found out the possibility
Of sending messages from one place to
smother by the electric telegraph his
invention was only the clumsy begin
ming of q system. He used two wires
to complete the circuit. Presently
somebody discovered that only one
wire was necessary, because by
grounding it at each end the earth
could be made to do the rest of the
work. From that hour to this-from
the time when it was discovered that
the earth could be made to do half the
work 1t has been the problem of cleo
tricians to make the earth do all Of it.
Tt has been certain that sooner or later
we should do our telegraphing without
wires. Mr.. Tesla now announces that
he has accomplished this. He can
send signals for twenty miles without
the use of wires. Any system that
sends signals can be- made to send
messages. And when signalling for
twenty miles is possible, signalling for
any conceivable distance is thing not
far of. This earth of ours is a great
magnet, gigantic dynamo. We have
only to learn how to apply its prac-
tically ilFtmitable magnetic powers to
our uses in order to "make the whole
world kin" in q degree Rever dreamed

Curious Forcing Process to Fatten

which place is also noted for It's silk
Mr.. Fem says: Wherever a handful
Of earth can be made to rest upon q
ledge, there a mulberry plant grows.
1t is a picturesque and thrilling sight
to see boy lowered by rope over the
precipice, carrying big basket Of earth
and cuttings Of mulberry twigs to plant
in his hanging garden. The crop OF
leaves, fodder for the worms, Is gath
cred in the same way. By such patient
and dangerous industry have these
hardy mountaineers been able to make
their wilderness of rock blossom into
brightly colored silks. Not single
leaf Is left on the trees by the time the
voracious worms get ready to spin their
cocoons, but a second crop comes on
later, and q curious use Is made OF
that. I
The tree owner purchases one OF
those queer big-tailed Syrian sheep, the,
tail Of which weighs twenty pounds
when at the full maturity Of its fat
ness, and then a strange stufing pro-
cess begins, not unlike the fattening OF
the >Strasburg geese. When the sheep
can eat no more the women Of the
house feed 1t, and it is no uncommon
sight to see a woman going out to make,

a string and carrying basket of mul-,

on the ground, rolls ball Of mulberry
leaves in her right hand, and slips 1t
into the sleeps mouth, then works the
sleeps jaws up and down with the
other hand till she thinks the mouthfuf
has been chewed enough, when she
thrusts 1t down the throat Of the unfor-

business is that probably half dozen
gosslps of the village are seated around

There is lively demand for spot cot
ton for home consumption in this State.
Orders have been placed at all the CEN
ters and it has been hard to fill them.
During the last few days two agents for
Spartanburg mills have purchased Q, 25C

The stock in q number of mills of the

appears that the mills were in doubt as
to whether they would remain open al

they did not take on their usual stock.
