The men and women employed IN
the Chinese factories have long hours

from the sulphur fumes. The Chinese
care little for human life. and almost
no precautions are taken to lessen
risks. No foreigners are employed.

pieces OF board and the sanded and
the stamped paper covers which when
assembled constitute a matchbox. 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
completed. they pile them upon a
board, lay another board on top OF the
stack, then tie them tightly with a
small rope and, bundling them on
their backs, trudge off to the factory.
There the boxes are counted and the

1t is evident from Arrian and POr-
phyry that vegetarian orders Of men
were well known in their time and that
they were found in India in the time
of Alexandria. They existed in diff
ferent orders long before the time of
Jesus in Egypt, Syria, etc., and were
known by the names of Essenians, Els
sennees, Esyans, Coenobites and Faith
lists, ETC., and those on Mount Carmel,
Of whom Elijah, the prophet, was the
chief rabbi, described by Pliny, were
known as Carmelites. Whatever the
name, the principles were all the same
all were vegetarian.
The Masonic order had it's origin
these ancient brotherhoods without
doubt. All the Masonic emblems of to-
day were known to these brotherhOods.

The soul Of a rajah who had been
released from the cares Of this world
and an uncongenial wife presented
himself at the gates Of paradise.
'Have you been In purgatory yet?''
demanded Brahma.
''No, but have been married"
Enter then. It is the same thing"
At this moment another soul arrived,
who begged Brahma to allow him also
to enter.
SOFTLY, softly. Have you been in
purgatory yetY'
'No, but neither has that other Eel.

Great is the humor Of woman when
she doesn't mean 1t, great is the nerve
of woman when she doesn't need 1t,
and great are the nerves Of woman
when 1t SO pleases her. This combine
ton is blamable for the following: A
very pretty girl sat In Long Island
railroad train. Suddenly the whistle
blew. 1t is perhaps not necessary to
say that Long Island railroad whis-
tie is more eficacious than otherwise.
It is tuned to the key Of w and is OPP
Grated with great diapason, giving
out brand of yelping shrek different
from anything known to nature. To
repeat, the whistle whistled. "O-o-owp'

full? | should think the railroad COM
pany would have these things oiled. II
is an outrage" Her companion had
often heard of wetting whistles, but
never before Of oiling them. Think it

The ingredients of fireworks.

The chief constituents of all fire.
works are gunpowder and it's ingredi-
ents. Iron and steel filings and cast iron
bOrings, free from rust. are used to in
crease the brightness of the display
and produce the Chinese fire. When the
rocket explodes up in the air. the bright
and varicolored sparks are produced by
these filings as they ignite in the oxy-
gen.
Copper filings and copper salts are
used to produce greenish tints. A fine
blue is made with zinc filings. A light
greenish tint with much smoke is made
out of sulphuret of anthony. Amber.
resin and common salt protected from
dampness produce yellow fire. Salts
