AN INDIAN BRIDAL PAIR.

so closely do the members of tribe

AT first they were accompanied by a
stout old chief, but he left after circus

THE RAMIE INDUSTRY,
utilization Of New Fibre Material an Interest.
Ing Problem.

One Of the most interesting prob.
lens OF the day in the utilization of
the new fibre material, and one that
IS a1---s'tlng the attention of all civ
ilized countries, is the industrial pro-
duction OF that wonderful substance
known in the Orient as China grass,
in india as rhea, and in Europe and
America as ramie. The money spent
by governments and by private enter
prise throughout the world. in expert
ments and inventions, in the effort to
establish the ramie industry, would
make up the total Of a princely fort.
une. Obstacle after obstacle has been
overcome in the years OF persistent eff
tort, and now we stand before the
last barrier, baffled for the time, but
stlll hopeful, and with efforts unre-
Taxed. The difficulty may be stated
IN q few words: Rarnie culture will
only become paying industry when
an economically successful machine
Tor stripping the fibre has been placed
on the market, Hundreds Of tbous-
ands of dollars have been spent in eff
forts to perfect a machine, but no gov
eminent fibre expert in the world rec
ognizes that we have made such a
machine at the present time, though
great progress has been made in ma
chine construction
The worlds interest in this fibre
began in 1869, when reward of five
thousand pounds was offered by the
government of India for the best ma
chlne with which to decorticate the
green stalks. The first exhibition and
tfial or machines took place in 1872,
resulting in utter failure. The reward
was again offered, and In 1879 Sec
ono Official trial was held, at which
ten machines competed, though none
hiled the requirements, and subse-
the offer was withdrawn

Chinese Superatitions.

IN a very fascinating article from
the pen of Hon. Calvin s. Brice, in
the December number of Ainslee' 3
Magazine, appear many interesting
pecullarities of this peculiar people.
one instance among the many narrat-
ed by Senator Brice is the following:
The feeling against the foreigner
IN China, which sometimes finds OK.
preston in outbreaks, is not natural.
The Hon. Charles DENLY, for thirteen
years minister of the United States to
China, has said recently that the nat.
ural fee ing of the native of China for
a foreigner is one of mere curiosity
that the attacks on foreigners are in
cited by those who are Jealous of the
strangers, or provoked by their sup
posed failure to conciliate local prejuJ
dice and superstition. For instance. a
short railroad was built in China not
many years ago which so excited the
people to opposition that it was bought
out by the Chinese authorities and
thereupon torn up This road, viz.
the line of about twenty miles from
Noosung and Shanghai, has been re!
Gently rebuilt and opened. When
first constructed it encountered much
native prejudice. Local superstition
made the people believe that their an,
cestors, disturbed by the railway, were
wa dering about complaining. Where
il SO general, local preju-'
dices must be considered. and in the
contract made with the Chinese eoyl
eminent it is provided that graves are
not to be disturbed; but the fact that
a railway thus SO rudely destroyed,
could, and indeed has had to be re-
built in the same locality so soonl
again, is striking"

Do not allow your mind to become
confused upon the two tickets whose

League" ticket stands for an era of good
government; for the upbuilding Of our
city's best interests in every way; for the
betterment OF it's sanitary conditions
through the erection Of system Of sew
age; for the honest and legitimate ex-
penditure OF the city's funds, and for a
Greater Grand junction. On the other
hand tho "Citizens" ticket (the gang

other long, bitter water fight; no change
