Rice passed through the coffee-mill

spices are ground is said to be better
than bread crumbs for the same pur

the spices, to restore the mill to pri-

of rice, impregnated as il is with spices,
will be found an excellent addition to

many people for sauces to be eaten
with roast lamb or other meats. Some
consider them superior to capers be-

the morning they should be drained

with strong vinegar. Glass jars which
can be securely corked are best for
them.

CHINESE GOOD MECHANICS.
Their ImmOvabIe Objections to the
Use of Machinery Are Web
Founded.

The Chinese are possessed of q great
deal of mechanical ability, but for
this they have not always been given
credit by western peoples. A number
of the most useful inventions" Of
civilization were known by the Chi
nese thousands of years ago. Indeed,
in the matter of mechanical ability
and skill the ChinamRn stands very
high. In the shops and factories that
are owned by foreigners the native
artisan compares favo1ably with the
workman of any other nation, espe-
cially in the use of western tools,
methods and machinery. In broader
sense, in the erection of bridges, con-
struction of temples, roads, canals
in the wide sense of the engineer
the Chinaman compares well with his
fellows in more civilized lands. Many
of his bridges are marvellous not only
for their beauty and accuracy Of con-
struction, but in the difficulties over
come and in the solidity of their foun-
dations. Here the Chinaman's char
acteristic of thoroughness expresses
itself. The Chinaman builds for all
time; the rest of the world builds for
to-day"
But the Chinese are opposed to the
employment of machinery. This OPP
position exists not only among the
presumably ignorant who labor for
their daily support, but among the
rich and highly educated as well. The
reason for this opposition is founded
upon social and economic conditions
unlike those in any other part of the
world.
The statement is as follows:
1. Every man in China is worker,
and only by untiring industry is he
capable of feeding and clothing him
self and family.
2. All branches of industry are full.
There is never lack of labor nor OF
work to do, and so nice.y adjusted
have become the economic conditions
through centuries of struggle that
practical content reigns among the
workers, and any upsetting of the
equilibrium of supply and demand
produces widespread distress.
The proposition: Introduce a ma
chine which shall by the supervision
of one man be able to do the work OF
ten men.
The result is that nine men are
thrown out of that particular task
There is no outlet for their industr $
for the reason given in paragraph
of the statement. Therefore these
nine men must starve. steal or emf
CRATE. This is pretty nearly the cor.
rect status of the working world in
China, and is the underlying reason
for the opposition to labor-saving ma,
chinery. In this great empire labor
saving tool or machine is an economic
curse, and will remain so until the
conditions are greatly modified
throughout China.

CHINESE MISSIONARIES.
Many Folks Hold That Reform, Like
Charity, Should Begin
at Home.

Many people among US are led to
say we should reform the millions of
ignorant and vicious citizens in our
own land before commencing opera
tions on the heather Chinese. The
Chinese also will point with scorn to
the crowds of debauched American and
other sailors who get leave to go on
shore when their ships are in Chinese
ports, and run in drunken riot among
the harmless natives in a manner that
is disgusting in the extreme. Even
the well-to-do merchants and other
representatives of our western lands
when in China too often live anything
but moral lives, so that the Chinese
are led to cry shame upon them. At
tend to your own people first, they
say, and when you have lifted them
up to the standard you preach to US,
we will gladly listen to your words,
writes Prof. John Fryer. in Ainslee's.
The Chinese officials do not hate the
average regular missionary as a man;
but they dislike his teaching. The
missionary's pure and upright life as
an example for the Chinese people is
a continual and unmistakable object
lesson to the officials, making manifest
by contrast their own cruel, grasping,
evil lives. The corrupt official is bet
ter pleased with the depraved Euro
pean or American merchant than he
is with the missionary. He feels that
the merchants and he have much in
common as birds of a feather. In the
cry. the Chinese. classics hold that the
officials are to be like parents to the
people" 1t is therefore their duty to
aid and instruct the people on all points
of morality and doctrine. This duty
they not only do not perform them.
selves, but they very strenuously OBJ
ject to the sensible self-denying mis-
sionary when he comes unasked to
perform it for them. The more the
stupid common people" as they are
called, can be kept in ignorance, the
more easily can they be governed
Hence the attempt of the missionary
to uplift them is a conspiracy against
one of the strongholds of oficialdo.n
The misrepresentation of the object
and the work of missionaries, and the
many evil things attributed to them, as
well as the riots stirred up by the
officials, ending in the occasional muir
der of the more aggressive missionaries,
are mostly due to this cause.

Novelty I'm millinery.

A new adornment is finding favor
among milliners. This consists OF
skeleton leaves preserved exactly as
they fall from the tree and retaining
their natural color. The leaves of the
walnut, chestnut and platane trees are
preferred for the purpose; large ivy
leaves and oak Leaves are also used.
The longest leaves are formed into a
large palette. one side being com
posed of a stiff painted feather, the
other of the skeleton leaf, thus form
ing broad garniture. 4 fine invisi-
bic viii fixed to the ecge of the leaf
prevents its crumpling. The smaller
leaves are made into garlands mount
ed on an artificial or natural branch.
The leaves have to be perfectly pre-
served. as their beauty naturally lies
in the delicacy and transparency OF

COLLECTING SNAKE VENOM.
Cobra de CnpeIIOs While Ex-
tracing Their Poison.

cobra when thoroughly reused to
anger is by no means a gentle crea-
ture. This one was a most formidable
beast to approach, striking out des-
perately at every movable thing with
in and even out of his reach. But
even in this condition Kullan had no
difficulty in Selling the largest Of
cobras. He would hold up and shake
a rag in his left hand. On this the
Infatuated reptile would rivet its gaze
with his right hand from behind the
man would then suddenly seize it
round the neck about three inches be-
low the head and an assistant would
fasten firmly on to its tail to prevent
it winding round Kullan's arm. His
right hand would then slide forward
till he had fastened his fingers round
the neck, just behind the jaw. He
would then insert the rim of a watch
glass between the jaws, the grip Cd
the neck would be slightly relaxed
and the serpent would instantly close
its jaws on the watch glass, and in
doing so squirt the whole of its VEN
ON through the tiny holes of it's fangs
into the concavity of the glass.
In this manner snake after snake
was made to part with its venom into
a watch glass, says a writer in the
Cornhill Magazine. Often between 60
and 100 snakes were so dealt with in
the course of morning.
The watch glasses were then placed
on small glass stand in plate swim
ming with melted beeswax. Large
glass bell jars were heated so as to
drive out most of the air in them,
and these were inverted over the plate
on to the wax. The entire plate was
then placed on a shelf and the venom
allowed to dry in yacuo for seven
days. At the end OF that time the
dried venom "a faky yellow powder)
was scraped off the glass with a ster-
ilized knife. the powder was hermet-
ically sealed up in small glass tubes,
the tubes labeled, showing the species
or snake and date on which the venom
was extracted, and the whole supply
forwarded weekly to Prof. Calmette.
In this condition the desiccated ven
ON maintains its virulence for months.
