the district is the store conducted by the Wins

scrbes the firm importers Of and dealers IN
teas, groceries, silkwear and general merchan-
disc. The concern has been in business in New
York for upward of twenty-five years.
But the store which takes highest rank for
beauty Of arrans cement and variety Of stock
is the one No. - Mott-st., under the manage
ment Of Sang Chong. There are elaborate
carvings over the counter, artistic lanterns hung
from the ceiling. the floor is kept scrupulously
clean and the boxes and packages which line
the sides Of the storeroom are in such perfect
order that one would never suspect that they
were movable.
The men who conduct the business Of the
place show by their dress and demeanor that

To the visitor in Chinatown places like Foug

where vegetables are kept on sale are the great
est puzzle. one understand how dried fruits
and meats may be shipped from China for the
use of New York consumers, but here are fresh
vegetables OF a kind and class different to any
which can be found in the New-York markets.
Cabbages which look like a combination Of celery
and lettuce queer salad green's roots which are
not potatoes. beets or carrots but have some
characteristics Of each, and greens" Of many
kinds which are as queer in their way other
Chinese articles are kept on sale and I'M

The Chinese merchant smiled broadly when
asked whore the green vegetables came from.
"Chinaman want China table same as China
shoe. Git seed from home country and raise
green here" In order to provide the demand,
some enterprisng Chinese have established
farms near New York, where they cultivate the
vegetables which are sold in Chinatown. 1t was
explained that few Of The vegetables degen-

article but the greater number retain their

Aunt Sarah lifted the bundle up on

themselves to be considerable por-
tion Of a gcntlcmans wardrobe.
There were half n dozen shirts. n
dress suit, two pairs of trousers, an
overcoat and some shoes.
Aunt Sarah contemplated this as

each of her checks. Any one who
knew Aunt Sarah might have seen
that she was angry. Presently she

"The idea of asking Marion to take

claimed. 81 never heard of anything
so monstrous. It's time some of these
crazy artists had n lesson in manners"
A boy appeared promptly in answer
to the call. Aunt Sarah let him in aft

three times through the door that he
was neither n burglar nor an artist.
"You take this bundle to Mr.. Philip
Hobart" said Aunt Sarah. "Ie lives"-

He had no sooner gone than Marion
appeared. With the rapidity and di-
rectness of speech characteristic of the
New Englander in earnest Aunt Sarah
related what she had done. Marion
was aghast.
"Oh, aunty," she cried, "how could

out Of the room.
Aunt Sarah followed her down the
three flights of stairs to the street, but
the boy was beyond recall.
So they climbed the stairs again,
Marion in fearful wrath, Aunt Sarah
suffering in sympathy, but sustained
by conscious rectitude.

"Who's Phil Hobart and what Is he
going to send"
He's an artist" replied Marion, "the
most eccentric and at the same time
the finest fellow In the world. He Is
going away for two or three months,
and he has asked me to take care of a

Marion hurried away, and Aunt Sa-

Ing shadows ran along the dingy walls

Adams marched with head erect and
face to the front. Marion unlocked a
door near the end of the hall and en-

Marion had found a letter on the
floor and was holding the envelope un-

with n pen and ink sketch Of n table
bearing punch bowl and numerous
bottles, and Miss Adams viewed it
with the strongest disapproval.

NEW REpEATINa RIFLE.
Another Weapon for the Better De-
struction OF Man.


The Reichswehr Of Vienna contains
the account Of the invention Of n re-
markably quick firing rifle that has re-
Gently been tested and approved by the
proper authorities I'm the Austrian
army. It Is reported that this weapon
In the hands Of a trained soldier, can he
made TO discharge no fewer than 200
bullets an hour. or forty-fve a minute.
Therefore, i'm actual warfare a soldier
could use up the whole of his regula-
ton 200 rounds in about five minutes,
while in an engagement of a few hours
he could shoot off a cart load of ammu-
milton.
lie Journal Militaire says that Il has
on the highest authority the news that
an officer of the British army has in
vented a bullet which far excels both
the dumdum and the Lee Medford bull
let, which did such terrible execution
among the Dervlshes in the recent
Egyptian campaign.
This new bullet besides possessing
superior carrying and penetrating quail
tiles, has the virtue of placing the
wounded man entirely hors de combat
as other small caliber bullets have fail
ed to do so. 1t is said that the core OF
the bullet is made of a piece of steel
with teeth or notches in it, which causes
the bullet to spread on striking an OBJ
ject. Thus, with further carrying pow
er, a worse wound is inflicted than was
given by the old-fashloned Martini
Henry bullets.
