North Dakota Soives tho AduIteratlon

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter.
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, II any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock.dust. ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do 1t with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting 1t, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of.
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little -- sometimes no real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what We did not
want.

The Chinese Clerk.

Chinese merchants and clerks are
ir evidence wherever trade is carried
or In Hongkong. writes Edwin Wild
man in the Chautauquan for February.
The great banking houses employ Chi
nese money changers, interest clerks
and schroffs. No white man can COM
;ete in methods of lightning caicula-
ton with the Oriental. The long,
slim fingers of the Chinaman, gliding
over the beads of the abacus, is a
sight to inspire admiration. With the
agility and accuracy Of piano player
the Chinese accountant will perform
problems OF arithmetic that are as.
founding. The most complicated sums
in banking are computed with the
ease a professional pianist might rem
Ger the simplest melody. Counter.
felt money is the order. rather than
the unusual, in China the whole coun-
try is full of it. But the Chinese
schroff will detect by touch spurious
coin or bill. as it passes through his
fingers or glides across his palm. He
can count a pile Of dollars, running
them over his hand with such rapidity
t5at the eye of the onlooker is unable
to distinguish anything but an unin-
,errupted stream of silver. The in.
tegrity Of the Chinese clerk is well
known. He is the accountant, cashier
and middle man.

What Russian Authors Earned.

1t is the custom for Russian writer's
of established reputation to sell their
entire copyrights to the publishers
more frequently than English authors
do. Shortly before his death, Turgen-
left disposed of the copyright Of all
his works to publisher for $4,000.
The different sums for which the pro-
ductions of some of the best known
Russian authors of the old school have
been sold are given as follows by the
informant Those of Gogol were dis.
posed of for $4,000; Puschkin's and
Gontcharoff's each realized about e..
500, while Kryioff's fables brought
about s1,400, and the entire copy.
rights of many well known writer's
have been sold for much smaller sums
than nthat.-Bystander.

Forgot Christening in Sport.

An enthusiastic angler had ar.
ranged to have his baby christened in
the Adnaree church, Ballina, Ireland.
To reach the church stream had to
be crossed. The mother and the nurse
went over on the bridge. The father
preferred to cross by boat and agreed
to meet the others at the church door,
He, however, could not resist tho
temptation to have few casts with
his rod and he hooked salmon, a six.
teen-pounder. The anxious mother
could see the proceedings from the
church door, but half an hour elapsed
before the salmon was landed In the
meantime the christening took place
with the father at distance.

the line on the west. You have all
heard the story Of the Missourian
who was making trip to Kansas on
foot, and when near the boundary fell
in with Kansan, also afoot, who was
returning home from a visit to his
wifes' folks in old Missouri. They
had not journeyed far when the
Missourian said: "We are now in
Kansas" This astonished the Kan
san, as there was no sign to show the
boundary line, and he wanted to
know how the Missourian knew when
he had crossed the line. His answer
was-"Whenever step into Kansas
I feel like stealing something" We
don't suppose it has the same effect
on every one, bu, there is a differ
ence. Probably it would be the same
going over into Iowa or Illinois. We
have nothing to say about crossing
the line into Arkansas. A Missourian
certainly does not like to admit that
Kansas is ahead Of the Imperial State
in any thing, but there was one thing
we noticed, that compels US to admit
that Kansas is ahead Of US, and that
is as a graveyard--no grubs, brush
or stone, and the digging is certainly
easy, but we woald rather take our
chances awaiting Gabriel's call in old
Missouri.
