This characteristic makes the Chine Q
market for Himsy, gaudy, and cheap

not, however, applicable to all branches,
for the trademark Of substantial aud
satisfactory products has a greater value
here than In most countries.
The Chinese have an intense love for
pictures and artistic ornamentation,
such as flowers and figures on hand mir
rors. wash basins. pitchers, etc. Those
desiring to manufacture for the Chinese
tra.le should make a careful study Of
this trait OF their character, as in most
things it will materially improve the
sale OF their goods. Articles that a'e to
be sold in packages should always be
ornamented to suit the Chinese taste.
The strength Of the Chinese regard
for ornaments and pictures OF a cheap
nature will be appreciated by observing
the sales upon the streets oi every
Chinese city Of pictures and posters,
such as are spread broadcast all over
the United States free.
One OF the peculiar features OF the
trade in China Ia the great quantity Of
old iron iinported-plates, tubes, wagon
ties, horseshoes, railway spikes, wire
rope. hoops, and general scrap iron.
This is worked over, welded together,
and put to various uses in the small
blacksmith shops throughout the coun'
try. II illustrates the intense economy
Of the people and the small value Of
labor.
| would emphasize the value OF a
careful study Of Chinese ideas and
prejudices In matters Of advertising
for instance, IN condensed milk. The
Chinese have the idea that milk revives
the youthful powers, and that 1t has
special virtue as winter food for old peo-
plc. Pictures and characters illustrat'
ing this idea, as well as the value o. 1t
for baby food, will without doubt in
crease the sale.
Proper advertising 10 OF immense
value In China, for iads and pre- judices
are more tenacious there than else
where.
lt,s an easy matter to send to China
an article that will not be used for in
stance, spoons made according to the
foreign model are disliked, while those
made after the Chinese form are increas-
ing rapidly In sales.
The country is being flooded with
frauds and limitations; for instance, the
American brand OF Eagle milk has
grown to be very popular with the
Chinese, and limitations OF 1t are put
upon the market from japan and Hol'
land, and even Shanghai Is manulactur'
ing an imitation. 0ns has the exact
eagle Of the Eagle brand on the can, but
10 printed Buzlsrd brand, The Chinese
who cannot read are caught by the
figure Of the eagle.
Another case was discovered where n
can Of fruit was marked Small Caliior-
mia Bartlett pears." The can contained
the cheap, hard. inferior pear OF China,
and examination revealed the fact that
this imitation was put up in Shanghai,

Clan at the Pae-Amsrisan
Exposition.

Nancy johnson. q member Of the
Turtle clan, Seneca nation OF Indians,
has lived in three centuries. and
daily at the Pan-American exposi-
tion her blood relatives and fellow
pagan worshipers beseech the Great
Spirit by dances that her life may
be prolonged for many moons to
come. 1t is claimed that she is now
1870 years old. and the fact that in
spite of her age she is able to be at
the exposition is source of great
JOY to the many Indians who are
with the Six Nations exhibit at the
fair, says recent report.
1t was only after months of nego-
tiation that Capt. Lawton. who has
charge Of this exhibit, was able to
induce Mrs. johnson to go to the
fair.
She insisted that her original cabin
should be brought to the exposition,
and this was done. None but her
blood relatives were permitted 70
take 1t apart, and they marked every
log and strip Of wood and put 1t up
again so it stands just as IL was built

Mrs. Johnsons home is on the
ronawnnda reservation, near Akron
about 30 miles from Buffalo. There
she lives in little hut by herself
and attends to all her wants, or did
until last spring Up to that time
she had enjoyed the best OF health
and wonderfully clear memory
considering her years But as soon
as the snow left the ground she be
gan to decline, and now she is feeble
and somewhat childish, but still is
able to recall Incidents that are
brought to her attention.
When Crpt. Lnwton began his ne.
gotiations with her last fall he went
to her house one cold day late in
October and found her coming down
the road with half bushel of pota
toes on her back She had carried
them from the field half mile away.

visitor talked TO her she prepared
her evening meal in the open as she
had done all her life.
In recent years 1t has been almost
impossible to get any information
from the old woman. because she is
exceedingly rcticent In conversation
about herself. Capt Lawton. how.
ever, has been able to get statements
from her regarding the sacking of
Buffalo In the war OF lsl2-l3, when
Rails regulars and savages laid Buff
falo and Black Rock In ashes and
put to death most of the inhabitants
who had not fled
She has outlived six husbands, and
her descendants are so numerous
that II is difficult to learn the exac
number.
