Burial Money in China.

A kind of Chinese money which is
largely manufactured and sold is wor-
thy Of mention, although the traveller
need not trouble himself with it except
us a curiosity. This is prepared for
the especial purpose of burning at the
graves of deceased relatives as an offer
ing to the dead. The deniZens Of the
other world are supposed to require
and to be capable of receiving money
in this way; but the Chinaman is far
too practical a person to part in such
fashion with the currency Of the en-
pire. Instead he buys FOR few cash
large supply of silvered and gilded
pieces of paper, or of imitation coins
blocked out of cardboard.
Although these have no purchasing
power OH earth, they are supposed to
count for much in the transactions of
the spirit world. BY this practice one

who left his belongings to his son on

An American Artist.

The South African native, 1t seems,
is not always decorated with the mere
trumpery Of the traders wallet or Of
his own purveyance. 1t has become an
attested fact that excellent diamonds,
and diamonds better than that, are
possessed by chiefs and boarded by
them, not so much in intelligence OF
their value as In firm fetichism. The
stones have come to their hands by the
good old-fashioned method of stealing
them from the Kimberley mines years
ago before the present minute watch

tlzed. Demonstrating at present Is
practically impossible under the pecu-

come back from the mines without q
good-sized stolen diamond for theI

tons and palavers for diamonds so

bartering for them. Liquor and guns
have been found useful. In some In.
stances the superstition of the chiefa

valuable stones; but, on the other

In feeding poultry the greatest
economizer is the bone-cutter. 1t is
better than q small hand mill, clover
cutter or any other machine of like
nature. With it we can cut pound
of green bone in about three, minutes,
and we find five to seven pounds of
fresh-cut bone, when mixed with
other food, enough for one hundred
fowls.
In buying meat for chickens, the
cheapest we can get here is five cents
a pound, and it is cften a third bone,
and has to either be cut by hand or
cooked to be utilized. In the same
market we can get fresh, clean bones,
with good deal of meat adhering to
them, at half cent a pound. So, then,
every time we cut pound of bone we
make four and one-half cents as COM
pared to the price, of the cheapest
meat. And that is not all. We find
that one pound of fresh-cut bone
equals, in nutritive qualities, five
pounds of grain.
Another point in the economic line:
A bone-cutter will cut vegetables as
we'll as bones, and three times as fast
Any kind of roots can be cut with it,
We sometimes mix small pieces of
bone and vegetables in the hopper and
cut them up together. A finer mix
ture, with little bran and cornmeal
mixed in, dampened with water, can
not be imagined. The hens just can't
help laying when fed such stuff; and
yet it is cheap. We cut potato, tur-
nip and apple peelings up with the
bones, and in that way get the best of
food at the smallest cost.
In working a bone-cutter, don't at
tempt too much. 1t is only piece Of
machinery, after all. Don't lunge
against it with all your strength. We
have Just been running ours for thirty
minutes, and are not tired. We avoid
fiinty bones, selecting ribs, neck
bones, back bones and trimmings from
beefsteaks, such as the butchers chip
Off trimming up steaks. Such bones
have good quality of lean meat stick
ing to them and marrow within. The
cutter puts them in good shape for
even the smallest chickens without
any great exertion on the part of the
operator. Our bone cutter will cut
hard shin bones, but we do not utilize
them because we can get better and
softer bones. The modern bone-cut-
ter is cutter, not grinder. The
purpose is to obtain food, not grit,
from the fresh, green bones.-H. B.

Insanity in Prussia.

There has been a good deal of COM
ment Of late upon the increase of in.
sanity in England. 1t seems, from Il
recent official report, that similar If
not worse condition of affairs exists
in Prussia, where the Anatic asylums
find difficulty in providing accommoda
tions for the crowds of applicants for
admission. In 1871 the total number of
lunatics in Prussia was 55,063, in 1880
it had risen to G6,345, while in 1896 1t
had gone up to $3.50. 1t is interesting
to note also that, while the growth of
Insanity is general, it is more marked
among men than among women. OF
100000 Prussian males it seems 2Ts
nre found insane; but in like number
of women only 243. From figures given
In the same return it appears that blind
ness Is diminishing while the number
of deaf mutes is rather increasing.

NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious

Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.

perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The

"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like a

public know the good your remedies

confused. Before using your remedies
l never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. now wish to say that l never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhna. 1 hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia e. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during q single year.
All suffering women are invited to
-rite freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

Feeding Bees Profitable at Times.

As the natural bee pasture (native
timber) is cut away, the matter of
feeding bees becomes more important,
writes W. q. Hutchinson, of Michigan.
AS a rule, there are two periods in the
year when it may be profitable to feed
the spring and fall. First comes
the matter of stimulative feeding in
the spring. 1t will not do to recon-
mend this Unfortunately. In some
localities bees can find something to
gather almost as soon as it is warm
enough for them to fly. Where there
are willows, soft naples, fruit bloom
and the like, something that furnishes
the necessary food with scarcely
break until the main harvest of clover
opens, there is no necessity for stimu-
lative feeding. Nature furnishes it.
But suppose there is scarcely anything
to be gathered until the white clover
opens, then the bees will not be in
condition to work. Their numbers
will be small, their combs lacking in
both honey and brood, and by the
time that they are ready to collect
honey the harvest is past. In such
cases, feeding in the spring is very
beneficial, but do not begin it too
early, SO that brood will be started,
then chilled later. Once it is started
it should be continued regularly until
the main harvest opens.
Another advantage of this spring
feeding is that the combs are filed
with food and brood, and when the
white clover comes in it must from
necessity go into the sections. A
feeder OF sufficient capacity to cover
the whole top of the hive is advisable.
Have openings at the side for The bees
to come up and go down upon Stats of
wood placed close together. Let it
have reservoir in the center from
which the food can rise up among the
Stats upon which the bees stand and
take their food. 'Feeding back" ex-
tracted honey to secure the completion
of unfinished sections is made profta-
