Chinese Thrift.

No race OF men can surpass the Chi
nese in habits of industry and thrift,
says ID. Y. Sheffield in the Atlantic.
With the introduction of Western
civilization the vast resources of the
country will be developed, the prod
nets of the soil and manufacture will
indefinitely increase, and domestic
and international trade will be multi
piled in its proportions. Now in all
this material regeneration of China,
the Chinaman will be in evidence.
Not dollar will be gathered from the
soil, from trade, from mines, from
manufactures, without his securing a
due proportion as reward for his
part in the enterprise. He will pa
tiently and faithfully work for mas
ter for half generation, and in the
second half he will appear as his own
master, at the head of thriving
business. Thus in the industries Of
the future, wherever there is wo' k
to be done, there will be found Chi
ne,e ready to "sell strength" as
working for hire is called in China;
and they will sell more strength for
the money than will men of any other
ma ion. Again, dollar in the hands
OF Chinaman represents far greater
purchasing power than it does in the
hands of European. In China a
dollar would purchase 1900 pieces OF
cash composed of copper and zinc.
These cash, with hole in the centre
and strung on n cord, weigh seven
pounds. A servant or common labor
er in Picking is glad to give ten days
of labor, and carpenter OF mason six
days, to secure this amount of cash.
This money would give comfortable
support to an average family. Three
dollars month, or thirty-six dollars
a year, would cover the living income
of Chinese family of the working
class. The meaning of this is that
the Chinamau will survive and pros
per under conditions of life which
would discourage, and finally over
whelm, the European.

Many birds suspend their nests
from the branches of trees, one of the
most curious nests of that kind being
that of the baya bird of India. 1t is
hung from the branch with its open
ing at the bottom, and hangs like an
inverted bottle, SO as to be secure from
the approach of tree snakes and other
reptiles. The most curious thing
about the baya bird is that it is said to
light up its nest by sticking firefiies
on its sides with clay or soft mud.
There seems to be little doubt of the
fact.
DIR. Buchanan says: cat night each
of the habitations is lighted up by a

clay. The nest consists of two rooms !;
sometimes there are three or four fire.

dazzles the eyes of the bats, which
otter destroy the young of these
birds" Perhaps other animals are
scared off by the baya birds electric
light, since writer in Nature records
this curious observation: 81 have been
informed on safe authority that the
Indian bottle bird protects his nest at
night by sticking several of these glow
beetles around the entrance by means
of clay; and only few days back an
intimate friend of my own was watch

bungalow, when glowhy lodged very
close to them and the rats Immediately

A Fiction About panthers.

One of the time honored attributes
of the panther is his scream. One

its fond belief in the woman-like wall
of the panther. Yet many scientists
today affirm that the panther is a mute
ANNA and does not scream at all.
The latter / believe to he accurate,
for my friend, "Old Bill" Hamilton,
one of the few reliable and genuine
old timers of the Rocky mountains,
tells me the note of the panther is a
sort of hoarse, roaring noise, and he
compares it rathe" to the roaring howl
of the gray wolf than the voice of any
other wild naiml. He laughs at the
"woman-like wair'notion. Once when
in camp in the .icarilIa mountains of
New Mexico ! h ard at night the cry
of what / supposed to be mountain

animal passed within few hundred
yards. 1t might have been wildcat,
but the teamster who was with ME

The colder eggs are the quicker they
will froth.
Dried orange peel, allowed to smoul-
der. will kill bad odor.
Flowerpot stains may be removed
from window-sills with fine wood
ashes.
Jars kept for the use of creams
should be thoroughly cleaned when
emptied.
Good m acaroni has yellowish hue,
does not break while cooking, and
swells to twice it's bulk.
To keep the kitchen pipes free from
grease, mineral oil should frequently
be poured down the sink.
Mustard water is useful for cleans
ing the hands after touching onions OF
any other malodorous substance.
All cake tins should be lined with
evenly buttered paper before baking.
All good cakes should have sheet O.
paper placed on the top.
If wooden pail begins to leak, fill
it with water and then stand it in a
tub of water. This will swell the
wood and it will leak no more.
To remove varnish stains from the
hands is quite easy if, before wash
ing, you rub them with a flannel
dipped in methylated spirits.
Canned vegetables, like canned
fruit, are improved in flavor by stand
ing open two or three hours, to restore
the oxygen that was eliminated in
cooking.

Stains of paint which have become

remove, but with persistent use of
benzine or spirits OF turpentine it can
generally be managed.
An English expedient for saving the
corners of tablecloths and sheets from

INCREASING VOGUE OF LAMPS.


4 Few Helpful Suggestions For the Busy
Housewife.
The manufacture of lamps has in.
creased to q wonderful degree
The great bugbears about lamps are
the chimneys and wicks; on these and
on the kerosene odor depend the OBJ
jections. All of these may be readily
overcome. A perfect chimney for any
lamp should be as large in diameter
as the brackets of the burner will per-
nit; it should be as high as convent
ent, and not too narrow toward the
top. The cost of maintaining a lamp
in daily use is not more than one
eighth that Ct any other illuminant.
1t is also the only true artificial light
for the eyesight. Soft and untiring,
steady and mellow, it is most grateful
to the eyes.
As to the best colors in globes, vel.
low or white gives the best results.
Green is not so desirable, aud al
though much affected by students and
others who burn the midnight oil, it
is easy to be seen that the area OF H.
Elimination is contracted, while in the
daytime no lamp can show to advan-
tage when hooded in the dark shroud
of the green glass. There are about
eighty-fve styles of burners on the
market, and the great trouble is wit.
the wicks. This is crucical test of
patience to the housewife or the maid
who has the care of the lamps. Re-
wicking, which is necessary so often
the care of the wicks, rubbing the
wick each morning: the charred por-
ton, which insists in falling on the
burner with the intelligence of orig.
inal sin; the gummy substance which
forms on the tubing around the wick
all these are exasperating trials. All
these may easily be overcome by few
simple rules, so that almost any lamp
will give satisfaction.
First, be careful to see that the wick
space, OF tube, is perfectly straight
and even, so that the wick will not
bind nywhere. Next see that the
draught support is perfect and ade-
quate to support large flame. Also,
do not neglect to have the reservoir
at least two thirds full Of oil. Lamps
are many times blamed for giving q
poor light when the whole fault lies
with the maid who did not feed the
lamp enough food to support its life.
Last and we'll nigh most important of
all, see that you have the proper wick.
1t should not fit the space too tight
ly, should not be woven too COM
pactjy, and should be made of a ma
terial as nearly non-combustible as is
practical.
Lastly, the housewife who really
understands the care of her lamps
will give the reservoir q thorough
cleaning once a month, and if the
wick has become clogged with the
waste matter it has drawn up, she will
replace it with new one. Properly
handled, nothing will give so much
real pleasure and such sense of har-
mony as the lamp, while, for decora-
tive purposes, nothing CON compare
with it.

VALUE OF LEGAL CRATORY.
Regrets of supreme Court Judges 1ha
Oral Argument Is in Disusr,

Regrets of supreme Court Judges Iha
Oral Argument Is in Disusc.
Judges of tho United States su
preme court do not entirely agree
with Lord Chief Justice Russell OF
Kilowen, who believes that the value
Of oratory to lawyer has been much
ove;rated. In speaking of this matter
lately, Associate Judge John NJ. Har-
Ian said: at is matter of serious
regret and concern to this court that
the practice of oral argument appears
to be falling into dlsu>e. The idea
seems to have become general among
members of the bar that we prefer
arguments presented in the form of
written brief. such is not the case.
There are many times when nothing
can take the place of the personal
presentation. rie!s are we'll enoug!
in their way, but it very Often happens
that the real point upon when Il case
turns may be overlooked in a brief,
while an oral argument may serve to
bring it home to the court. A special
emphasis, a strik ing smile, may throw
new light on an intricate problem, and
pc hals reverse a judgment in the
mind of the count"
OF course, the United States SUI
preme court does not like to listen to
stnmp-sIeaking nor does it relish
being instluc ed in the fundame entail
principles of law; and it does not per-
nit this to any large extent. But
there is another side to the case, as
explained by lawyer who has had
considerable supreme court practice.
"Ihese Judges said he, "have a
dis2oncerting way of starting up as if
waking from long nap, aud saying
to an attorney, just as he comes to his
star point: The court unders lands
The position of counsel on that matter
entirely. But will counsel kindly adj
dress few remarks to uch-and- such
Il proposition And the chances are
nine out of ten that counsel has not
given thought to the proposition to
which the court refers. The judges,
too, have way of referring to some
obscure case, and asking lawyer for
his opinion on it, He has probably
never heard of it, and then he wishes
he had submitted brief"
