THE INNS OF CHINA.
Their Cheapness Is About Their One
RedeeH1inG Feature.

Chinese inns are without register or
clerks On riding through the gateway
your bride rein is seized by u dirty
boy, who helps you to dismOunt, shout
ing loudly meanwhile for the proprie-
tor, who presently looms up through
the wilderness of carts and mules Pro
prietOr and boy then bold 4 parIey rs
to what rooms are eligible, and then
door is pushed open and the traveller is
shown to his apartment. 1t is usually
about twelve feet square. The walls
and floor are Of hard mud, and so are
the beds, which extend entirely across
the side of the room, with only space
enough between them for small table
and one chair. The room is lighted by
one window, in which paper takes the
place Of glass.
The first duty of the proprietor in
making a patron comfortable is to stop
up the holes in the paper window pane
He never tears the paper off entirely
and replaces it with a new one, be-
cause the sheet of paper is worth
about One-tenth of a cent, and the inn
keeper is not WastefuI. Indeed he
pastes little slips of paper over the
holes until all the light that filters
through it is Of 4 notified hue.
At one end Of the mule shed is the
kitchen of the inn. 1t is here that the
meals for all the patrons are prepared,
to be eaten in the rooms. The menu is
not elaborate. 1t consists only of bowls
Of rice and tea. Should the Traveller de-
sire a greater variety of food, he can
buy it himself in the market, and his
own servant can cook it in the kitchen
Of the inn. To sleep on the bed of a
Chinese inn would be for a foreigner
an impossibility were it not that he is
always so exhausted at the end of
each days journey that he finds it diff
fcult to remain awake ten minutes
after alighting from his pony. He lies
down on the mat that covers the hard
heap of mud and surprises himself at
the sOundnesS of his slumber.
The one redeeming thing about the
inn is its cheapneSS. Just as the tray
eler is about to depart in the morning
the proprietor tells him the amount Of
his bill. Everything is charged on the
European plan" Every cup of tea,
every rushlight candle, the paper win
dow pane, are all itemized in the long
list which the proprietor reels off in
singsong, but the total is surprisingly
low. The cost of food and lodging for
one night for a traveller and two serv-
ants, with stabIing and fodder for his
monies and cart mules is about 30
cents-New York Mail and Express.

THE SOUND OF A PIANO.
Seeming Defects Thnt May BE often
Due to Exterior Causes.

Due to Exterior Causes.
"a piano. said dealer, ''will some
times develop or seem to develop Il
flaw in some one note, which comes to
have a rattle or jingle or unpleasant
burr to it, but this Earring sound which
seems to come from the piano may in
reality come from some source quite
outside of it.
ANY given note when struck pro-
duceS q certain number of vibrations 20
the second. There may be in the room
some object that is in tone sympathy
with some particular note, and that
will be set in motion by it when that
note is sounded.
THE owner Of a fine piano sent to US
one day to say that there was some
thing wrong about n certain note of
the instrument, so that that note had
an unpleasant sound when struck.
When l heard the note sounded, knew
at once that the disagreeable rough
ness or buzz about it was due not to
any defect in the piano, but to some
thing somewhere about in the room,
and, asking the lady to strike that note
occasionally, l walked around the room
to see if | could locate it.
Passing across the middle of the
room as that note was struck, the
cause Of the Earring accompaniment of
it was discovered to come from the vi
bratton of one of the glass globes on
the chandelier overhead.
THE owner Of the piano was almost
incredulous as to this the sound had
seemed so plainly to come from the
piano itself. But when at my request
she stood under the chandelier and |
struck the note she was readily con-
WINGED.
81 made that globe immovable and
then struck the note on the piano. The
answer was clear and sweet and true.
$50, you see, the sound Of the piano
may for one thing depend much upon
it's surroundings, and what may seem
to be q defect in piano may be in re-
atty attributable to something quite
apart from the piano itself
And thus it might easily be that
some noble instrument that had seem
ed to be declining or to be developing
faults owed it's apparent change to
change of environment or to some spe-
cific outside cause and was in reality
as good as ever, as would happily be
discovered whenever the instrument
was again brought under favorable
conditions "-ChicagO Inter Ocean.

Condemned in Missouri and Con
fiScated in New York.

Judge Clarke of ST. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized a quantity
of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets of inju-
rious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
pound, there is a great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods to use it.
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health au thorities by chemica
analysis, but the ordinary hOu8ekeep-
er, whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important, can
not make a chemical examination.
She may easily know the alum pow
ders, however from the the fact that
they are sold at from ten to 20 cents
for pound can, or that some prize
like a spoon or glass, or piece of
crockery or wooden ware-is given
with the powder as an inducement.
AS the people continue to realize
the Importance of this subject and
consumers insist on having baking
powder of established name and char
acter, and as the health authorities
continue their vigorous crusades, the
alum danger will, it is hoped, finally
be driven from our homes,
Our aged townsman Joseph Vivian
went on Wednesday to GAINESVILLE, to
visit his niece, Mrs. David Jones,
and from there will 60 to Racine to
