Speaking Of books reminds me of an
enterprising scheme which is being adopted
by Boston periodical to increase its sub
scripuon list. In its last issue this magazine
(it calls itself mazagine) printed on the
back cover a rebus $50 very, exceedingly
difficult that only the most keen-sighted

trations and words, it managed to convey to
the unraveller OF refuses the information
that comparisons are odorous." Now we all

Primitive Conditions That Prevail in the
Native Factories.
Inc men and women employed in
the Chinese factories lave long hours
and poor pay. and they suner much
from the sulphur fumes. The Chinese
care little for human life, and almost
no precautions are taken to lessen
risks. Nc foreigners are employed.
ana the heartless native overseers have
full sway. Thera is one redeeming
feature, however, of this industry. The
matchDoxes are largely made at the
homes of the factory girls. 1ney go
to the factory and receive a certain
amount of prepared box materials, Sin
tIe flat"-that is, the thin pieces OF
board and the sanded and the stamped
paper covers, which when assembled"
constitute a match box. At their own
homes they sit down beside a pot of
paste and begin the long days work
of pasting together these parts and
placing them in the sun to dry. When
several hundred of these are complet-
ed they pile them upon a board, lay
another board on top of the stack,
then tie them tightly with small
rope, and, Dundling them on their
backs, trudge off to the factory. There
the boxes are counted, and the num-
ber entered In book against the
monthly settlement day.

In the discussion sas to the advs-
ability of postponing the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition to 1904 be-
cause it is presidential election
year the fact is cited, by those who
favor that year, that the Centennial
Exposition held at Philadelphia in
1876 during the Hayes Tildcn cam
paign for the presidency, was from
financial standpoint the only sue
cessful universal exposition ever
held in this country. A large per
cent. of the stockholders subscrip>
tions to that exposition were re-
turned to them. This certainly es>
tablshes an encouraging precedent
for the postponement OF theWorld's S
Fair at St. Louis to 1904.

From the time that the billboards have

The boy was 80 terrified that Morrison
took pains to set him at ease, and sue
