Mice a. Food I'm China

The first thing which strikes the
traveller in China. upon his entrance
into any of the many cities of the
celestial empire, is the strings of
dried mice which hang from the roofs
of the houses suspended by their tails,
just as sausages are hung in front of
butcher shops In France. The Chinese
hunt these mice with a long sharp
pointed knife, which they plunge into
the animals threats. Then the mice
are suspended by the tails until the
blood has dripped out, when they are
skinned, drawn and smoked. Another
favorite dish with the Chinese is dogs
feet. The feet of black dogs are con-
sidered more Of deIcacy than those
OF any other color, aud white dogs are
rejected as being tasteless. Dogs
fat. prepared in q special manner, Is
looked upon as q repast fit for king.

a Mountain OF Alum.

In China. 121s miles from the village
of Diou-Chek, there is mountain of
alum. which, in addition to being a
natural curiosity, is a source of wealth
for the inhabitants Of the country, who
dig from it yearly tons OF alum. The
mountain is not less than ten miles in
circumference at its base and has a
height Of 1,o4o feot. The alum is OBJ
tanned by qusrryirg large blocks Of
stone, which are first heated In great
furnaces and then in watts filed with

out and forms layer about six inches
In thickness. This layer is subsequent

Dust In q Vicious Enemy.

Dust must be looked upon as one OF
our greatest enemies, both indoor az
well as outdoor dust. A room should
not be busted for an hour after 1t has
been cleaned. By this time the dust will
have had time to settle. Carpets, when
not properly clean, are enemies to
health. They should be shaken as often
as possible, as this prolongs their wear;
the dust which collects under them
grinds out the threads. When a car
pet is faded washing it with strong salt
and water will often restore the bright
ness of the colors. Cheap dusty Goals
are injurious to health, and the fumes
affect the throat and Jugs. The best
kinds should always be used and will
be found the cheaper in the end.

Bee. stole Back Pilfered Honey.

A curious incident of the bee world
IL reported from Hampshire, England.
A cottager took two large bars OF
honey and square section from one
Of his hives. This honey he put into
q large pan and covered it with a cloth,
placing it In an upstairs room of his
cottage. During the day the bees got
scent of the honey through the open
window and the whole hive entered the
room. crept under the cloth cover and
took away all the honey in an incred-
IDLY short time and stored 1t in their
hive again. The quantity was about
ten pounds In weight.--N. Y. Sun.

TRUE CHERRFULNESS
Locking ON the Bright side Eventual-
~ Cona.ers Every Obstacle IN
the Way to Happiness.

II one could choose that gife of all
Others which would bring the greatest
blessings in its way, 1t would be the gift
Of always looking on the bright side. 1t
Is ehe people who cultivate the wise
habit Of hooking for the silver lining in
the clouds around them who ultimately
succeed.
The habit Of looking for the bright
side is especially valuable to the mis-
tress of q household. The radiance of
her cheerfulness extends like waves of
light to all who come under her inf,u-
enee- Many good man, broken down
by discouragements, has been cheered
by the counsel of such a brave woman
and encouraged to make a fresh start.
and has gone on to final success. In
the darkest hour, when even hopeful
youth shrinzs from what seems a hone
less struggle, some coura geous mother
has urged her son to persevere in well
doing, and kept him true to himself.
That there is bright side even in the
darkest hour, q way out of the most per-
Picking maze, let us never doubt. The
most disheartening failures have often
proved the stepping stones to success.
The old saying: ut is always darkest
before dawn" expresses spiritual
truth, II not natural one.
No truly great. original work of man,
says the New York Tribune. has met
with unqualified success from the be-
ginning. All great inventors have been
called foolish dreameSs by the shallow
thinkers of the world until they proved
the value of their work. This some
times took years OF trial. II takes a
wise person to recognize true gold In
its crude form Genuine merit often
fails at first to be recognized. If we
Gun learn experience from every failure,
and gather strength for new trial by
persisting In walking on the sunny side
OF our daily path. we need fear nothing.
The experience Of all teaches the truth,
that by keeping the bright side before
them. and never turning back to brood
over the past, and by this means only,
Men may rise on stepping stones
Or their dead selves to higher things

A nice dressing for the hair is made
by dissolving half an ounce of the best
white wax in seven ounces of almond
oil. When nessiy cold add - drops of

fancy. To arrest the falling of the

two wine glasses of deodorized paraffin
with three parts of a glass of rum. Rub
this into the scalp. A little sweet olive

whose scalp has little natural oil is an
