Lee faction or Tong of business men and gamblers and the mock Duck faction of so-calIed reformers called yariously by Ducks name or by that of Hip Sing or On Leong. No native can under stand what 1t is about, but good guess is that the Mock Ducks, or outsiders. try to blackmail the other fellows into yielding up part of the profits Of gambling, even going to the length of calling on the 'melican mans dreaded and mysterious justice atitimes- which is very naughty, according to Mott street ideas.
 But the battles! Imagine the men drawn up on opposite sides of a very narrow street; some wearing ancient armor of wadded silk under their loose robes, others relying upon charms to keep; away the bullets. Every man shuts his eyes tight and blazes away as fast as he can. When the police come pound ing down upon their heavy boots all is over. A few of the heroes are whacked ,iudiciously. Does anyone ever get nurt? Oh. yes. occasionally. Mock Duck himself was wounded month ago, and in one recent light white man was killed, coming out of a saloon some distance away. He had nothing to do with it. Such are tho playful ways Of the "heathen Chinee" when away from home.

There are three aouses on the block of 200 feet facing the avenue. Morgan paid @46o.000 for the middle one, the Phelps Dodge man sion: for the one at the upper corner the Stokes place, he has just paid over million. The land behind them he already owns. Here part of the mu- scum is already being built, but anyone can see that it is only a wing of the building as it will be completed.
 Wonder is often expressed that Mr. Morgan continues to live SO far down. town and to the eastwSrd when he might follow his neighhoEs to Fifth ave nue opposite the park. The museum plan would explain it. That to be useful should not be too far from that great hive of people where for considerable distances they huddle together more than 1000 to the acre, while Bombay alone of all the other cities of the world shelters 750 Go the acre. gTho late Will liam H. Vanderbilt once opened his art gallery. But the intelligent" public of upper Fifth avenue so misused the priv ilege that he revoked it. It was small loss to art lovers, for the Vanderbilt collections were but fraction of those which Mr. Morgan has assembled: and the best of the lot arc now in the Metro politan museum-whose president, by the way, MT.

It often happens that Christmas greens are frozen in transit. Tn such cases put them at once into a very cool, dark cellar where they can thaw out very gradually. The temperature should not be allowed to exceed. 45 de- grees Fahrenheit. Frozen holly Is very little damaged if intelligently treated. but a single night in a warm express car may cause it to turn black. Mistletoe and wild smilax are much more susceptible to frost injury The California holly is not member of the holly, but of the rose family It is not hardy in New England. but is worth cultivating in all parts of the south.
