which all have since been made, must
have been designed in the dim remote
past, nearer to the times of that an
cient shipbuilder than to the present.
These tubs can sail with the wind,
If they have plenty of it, and not too
much. If the wind is high, or contrary,
they must put in to some sheltered
nook and wait for favorable weather,
which may take a day or a month, or
even longer. 1t is not to be marveled at,
then, that there are no passenger junks
running from Hinghua by the sea to
the provincial capital, Foochow, only
20 miles north. 1t takes As hours to
travel it by land, taking the ferry the
second night, but that is much faster
than these boats are likely to make it.
A small steamer would make the trip
In one night; but the government has
persistently refused to allow foreign
built vessels to run.
Then these junks are the prey of
pirates that infest this coast. They
have their haunts on the islands and
inlets of this rough coast. In little
boats that can be propelled by rowing,
they swarm out upon some large junk

they are armed with muzzle-loading

crew is slaughtered, or surrenders and is
bound, all the cargo taken, and the boat

Henderson and His Recruits.

Senator Allison, speaking of Speak
er Henderson as soldier, says:
when told that the leader of a stu
dent band of recruits wanted to see
me, I asked that he be shown in, and
a tall, clean-imbed, clear-eyed young
ster entered. He had lot of recruits
with him, and he said his name was
Henderson. I looked at the recruits;
they were all right. Henderson had
not only brought those boys in on
his own responsibility, but he had
done it with almost no expense TO
anyone; his enthusiasm had been so
infectious that the farmers had been
glad to feed and transport them free. y

The dispatches were read. Lee had
surrendered and the war was over.
Major was here, there and everywhere
at the same time, catching the caps of

se1ecting EGGS for Market.

There are number of ways of select
ing eggs to send to market. The best
of these ways is to pass each egg before
a candle held on the other side of box
or board through which hole has been
made. When we say candle of course
we recognize the fact that an actual
candle is not necessary-any kind of a.
light will do provided it be powerful
enough to send its light through the
