cREMATES CHINESE LETTERS.
Furnace In San Francisco Where the
Sacred Writings of CeIestiaIs
Are Destroyed

The Youths Companion recently
published a story of Chinaman who
was shocked to see an American lady
put her foot in shoe on the inside of
which was written in gilt the name of
the manufacturer. The Chinese hold
every scrap of writing sacred, no mat
ter what the characters eXpress-the
merest commercial message, hand bill,
dun, bill of fare, what not Since Con-
fuclus used these characters to teach
his wisdom to the world, they are holy.
A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells
how the Chinese in San Francisco dis
pose of Chinese writing which has
served its purpose, and is, as we should
think, ready for the ash-barrel.
All letters and waste papers are laid
away in a clean receptacle to await the
collector, who comes three times a
week to transfer the waste papers to
the sacred furnace. If the papers were
burned by the Chinese in their own
homes the ashes of the sacred writ
lngs would mingle with the ashes of
wood and coal, and the ashes of Chi
nese writing are as sacred as the writ
ing itself.
The ashes from the sacred furnace
are placed in sacks, the sacks are con-
veyed by wagons to the sea, and there

where the tide runs swift, and are con-
signed to the waves.
The Mon War boat belongs to the
Mon War Sher," which is a lodge with
branches everywhere, organized and
maintained for the purpose of paying
reverence to the spirit of Confucius.
The furnace in San Francisco where
the sacred writings are destroyed, is a
brick, ovenlike structure about five
feet high. Opposite it on the wall is an
inscription which means, 1.-The spirits
OF our ancestors are pleased that we
keep sacred the writing of our coun-
try"
The society of Mon War Sher, or
CLUB of the Beautiful Writing" is
composed of about $50 members of
Chinatown, who support it by volun-
tary contributions, which pay the sal
airy of the keeper and his assistant.

UNI in Chinatown saw in the stack of
paper waiting to be burned letter

out for it; but Chin Chung, the keeper,

SAILING AROUND. THE COW.
How an Old Sea-Captnin Was Mis-
led by the Lowing of the
Ships Milk Producer.

Many sea-captain has sailed
around the world since the adven-
turous voyage of Capt. Cook, but
few navigators have tried what the
captain of an East Indiaman used
to relate as an experience of his own,
says the Youths Companion.
He was out one foggy night, and
sounded his fog-horn, as every wise
captain should From the starboard
side came the sound of fog-horn, APP
parently from a vessel very close,
and showing no lights,
Fort your helm" shouted the cap
tain, and the order was obeyed. Then
he blew his horn again. Back from
the same relating position, although
the ship had altered her course three
points, came the sound of that an
swering fog-horn.
Hard aport!" roared the captain.
That, too, was done, and the signal
was tried again. Back from exactly
the same position, although his YES
sci had now changed her course seven
points, came the sound of that fog
horn.
The captain, alarmed, was just GO
ing to give the order to reverse the
engines, when one of the officers dis
covered that the supposed fog-horn
was only the COW that was carried
on the forward deck to supply fresh
milk for the passengers.

Hebrew ExcIusiyenexs

Is Jewish exclusiveness becoming a
legend rather than a reality? 1t
would seem so, at least in Australia.
The recently published matrimonial
statistics of New South Wales show
that in 1901 81 Jewesses selected hus-
bands from the Church of England, IT
mated with Catholics and II found
their affinities in the Presbyterian
fold. One hundred and fifty-one Jews
united to Anglican wives, 62 to Catho-
lies, 10 to Presbyterians, ~ to Metho-
dists, four to agnostics, and two to
Congregationalists, while a solitary
son of Israel is returned as having
welded Baptist. Altogether, out of
ISL Jewish marriages, 341 were more
or less mixed. Chronicle.

ASTONISHED THE INDIANS.
Striking Eject of the Appearance of
Captain Clark Among the Wal
lawalIas of Oregon

1t is small wonder that the first
view of white man created terror
among the superstitious Indians. A
striking instance of this occurred
when The Wallawalla Indians first
saw Capt. Clark, of the Lewis and
Clark expedition. Thinking to pro-
pitiate the savages and allay their
fears Of the white man, he planned
to visit a village of Wallawallas be-
fore the arrival of the rest of his
party, says Youths Companion.
With this end in view, he set out
to cross the Columbia river in a
canoe, taking three men with him.
On the way he shot a crane and a
duck, both of which fell near him.
He landed before five wigwams placed
close 10 each other, but not a person
was visible, and the doors, which
were of mat, were closed. Holding
his pipe in hand, as an indication of
good will, he pushed aside one of the
doors and entered the lodge.
Inside were 80 men, women and
children, huddled together in terror.
He went to them, shook each by the
hand and said some kindly words, ex-
pressing by word and manner his
kindly feeling. Their apprehensions
were allayed until he took out his
burning glass and lighted his pipe
by the rays of the sun. Consterna-
ton again prevailed, and what might
have occurred but for the timely ar
rival If two chiefs who knew the
white men cannot be told.
1t seems that the Indians had not
seen Capt. Clark, but they had seen
the white crane which he had shot
fall just before his appearance. They
had also seen the duck fall at his
shot. They connected the fall of the
birds with his advent, and thought
that he had fallen from the clouds.
The sound of the rife, which they
had never before heard, they believed
was a signal to announce the white
mans coming. Small wonder, then,
that their hardly allayed fears were
again aroused when he brought
down FIRE from heaven by means of
his burning glass.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The fact that last year the Fiji
islands contributed $4,000 to foreign
missions is in itself an announcement
that the heather countries of the
world are diminished by one.
There are between so and 80 prin-
cipal synagogues in the United King
dom, in which just under 100000 Jews
worship. There are also $50 minor
synagogues, or betheIs.
An extensive movement toward
Christianity is reported among the
low caste Lal Begis people near Nee
rut, IN the northwest provinces, India,
Ill connection with the mission of the
Church Missionary society.
a movement has been started in Eng
land, under the lead of Lord Radstock,
to place copy of the Scriptures in
the hands of every child in the schools
of India who is able to read Gospel
in his or her own tongue.
Iowa college, Grinnell, opened its
first year under President Bradley
with an attendance of 3O3, the largest
in the history of the institution. The
total of all the students on the ground,
including those studying in the acad-
envy and the school of music, reaches
$50.
A Bombay medical missionary last
year treated 3,110 patients in addi-
ton to her regular work as teacher
In boarding school. This mission
ary's industry is paralleled by that of
doctor in India, an eye specialist, who
treated 1900 patients during one year,
besides visiting many in their homes.
a richly deserved retort was that
made by Sioux girl at the Hampton
institute not long since. A silly visitor
to the school went up to the magnifi-
cent red-skinned belle and said: Are
you civilized?" The Sioux raised her
head slowly from her work-she was
fashioning a breadboard at the mo-
ment-and replied: mo; are you?"
Bradford (Mass.) academy began it's
one hundredth year with an entering
class of over 100 young women. This
turn in the fortunes of this institution
is deserved testimony to the beauty
of its situation and its excellent equip
ment. Several new teachers are en-
ployed, the accommo da tions of the
school are insufficient for its needs
and there is long waiting list.

GIANT MUSHROOMS.
In England They Sometimes Grow
Big Enough for Sunshades
or Umbrellas.

Mushrooms are specially abundant in
many districts this year. The state
ment that great quantities are being
found in the rural districts around Col
chester has brought in several letters
from other parts of the country. All
our correspondents state that they are
enjoying the delights of mushroom
picking, and one of them adds that this
is the best tonic for the season. Two
correspondents have found mushrooms
which they consider to be of unusual
size. What is an unusual size for
mushroom is a very much discussed
matter, but we give our correspondents
the credit of their finds, says the Lon
don Express.
"Paterfamilias," writes from High
Wycombe to this effect:
The other day was out in the fields
with my two children. 1t was the sort
of day to which we have got accustomed
now-when rain is regarded as prob
able every other minute. l mention
this to explain what follows. My chill
dren had gone on ahead of me when L
was struck by their attitude. l could
not see exactly what they were doing,
as | am short-sighted, but they were
coming toward me with something over
their heads. 1t turned out to be very
late mushroom, and they were pre-
tending that it was fairy's umbrella.
l had no measure with me, and before
we got home the mushroom had been
Clipped a good deal, owing to the
children's letting it fall but l feel sure
that it was at least ten or IL inches
in diameter. This surely constitutes
a record"
But the supposed record is soon beat
en-. Our other correspondent has
found bigger mushroom. Writing
from North Kent, he says:
81 was looking for mushrooms yes
terday morning, when l came c.crasS
a patch of the biggest l have ever seen,
all together in a field. They all
seemed to run from ten inches to a
foot across, and after looking about
for some time l found one that eclipsed
all the others in size. l took it home
carefully and had it measured. 1t was
just under 10 inches across, but was
only three inches in the stem. NY wife

AFTER A YEAR.

Is it a year or yesterday
Since we were last together love,
Since from my side you turned away
To seek some alien star above,
Too far for ken of mortal clay
Is it a year or yesterday?
Is it a year or yesterday
Since 1 was called upon to bear
A grief no balm can e'er allay,
A woe that none may see or share?
Since you have vanished, say, oh say,
Is it year or yesterday?
Is it a year or yesterday?
Since laughter died upon my lips,
And l became too sad to pray,
For all my stars went in eclipse,
And hopes aurora paled to gray
Is it a year or yesterday?

Too fierce the pang, too fresh the tear
Too present seems the souls dismay."

MAKING OF WINDOW GLASS.
A Description Of Quite an Interesting
Process.

People who have glass windows in
their homes do not know that the glass
contains enough arsenic to make it
deadly poison Glassblowers say that
the windows Of an ordinary home con-
tain enough of this poison to kill Il reg
iment of men. The popular SUPPOSE
ton that glass is made of sand IS
correct one, but a quantity of other ar
ticles enters into it's composition. Win
Douglass factories are divided into two
departments-a tankhouse and pot
house The process of glassmakinS in
one of these departments is practically
the same as in the other. In the tank
house the glass is all melted in I'M
mense tanks, which will hold thousands
of tons. In the pOthouse the glass is
made in pots. After the fires are light
ed and tank is heated, the glass mix
ture is shOveled in. 1t includes glass
left over from the former season, glass
refuse, sand and salt cake. Arsenic is
not used in the tankhouse, for the rea-
son that the heat is so intense that the
drug is volatiized and escapes into the
air without entering the mixture. AS
the mixture melts and flows to one end
of the tank, fresh supplies are shoveled
in at the other end.
The molten mass seethes and
works in a manner similar to that of
a mash in a distillery. From the salt
cake comes a salt water that has to be
separated from the mass, and the east
est way to remove it is to burn it out.
This is done by throwing stovewood in
to the tank on top Of the molten glass.
The water is converted into steam,
which is destroyed by the intense heat
from the glass. The melted glass is
then SKINNED by an automatic SKIM
mer and it is ready for the gatherer. A
gatherer thrusts a long steel blowpipe
into one of the rings at the lower end
of the tank. He twists and turns 1T
until a small ball of glass gathers at
the end. This ball is partially cooled,
polished by being turned in a box of
sawdust and then passed on to the
blower, who heats it again until it be-
comes like taffy. The blower swings
the ball over a pit that is II feet deep
and rapidly blows it into an elongated
pearshape. When a blower is through
the melted glass becomes a perfect cy-
Under about five feet long and two feet
across. 1t then passes to a snapper"
