PAY DAY IN CHINA.

Red Paper.

New Year Is the national pay day in
China. All accounts must be squared
ny at that time, md the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy, says
the Lonton Mail. The laws are such
that the creditor can enter the debtors
house and take what he pleases if
there is no settlement. To prevent
such action families club together and
make all sorts OF compromises to keep
mp the business reputation of the clan.
New Year is a great day for the pawn
brokers. Their shops are crowded
with people who want to redeem their
best clothes before the new year.
There are crowds also who want to
pawn other things in order to yet
money enough to pay their debts.
rawnbrokers receive high rates OF in
tercst, in which they are protected
by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole country
red on New Years day in more senses
than one. Red is the color which with
them denotes good luck and prosper.
ity, and all the New Year cards and
invitations are on paper of that color
Every child gets its New Year present
wrapped in red paper, and red in
scriptions are pasted over the doors Of
the houses.

WILL MAKE WAR ON INSECTS


The attacks OF Injurious insects prob
ably cause the loss Of several millions
OF dollars In Massachusetts alone each
has not always been the case. but in
sects are becoming more abundant and
consequently more destructive. Much
of this destruction, however, could be
either in part or wholly prevented il
the proper methods of treatment were
made use OF, and that this is not more
frequently done is very unfortunate.
1t is probable that the reason Tor the ap-
parent negligence in this regard Is due
to Ignorance us to what the insect is in
each particular case and what to do to
prevent its .ravages. 1t is this very I'M
certainty which results in nothing be-
ing done in most cases.
In order to provide this information
for residents OF the state the entomo-
logical division of the Hatch expert
ment station at Amherst offers it's serv-
ices without charge to all who may de-
sire them. In order to obtain this as
sistance write to the entomologist,
Hatch experiment station, at Amherst,
Mass, describing the trouble, and also,
II possible, send samples OF the injury
and insect causing it, and attention will
ut once be given to the matter.
As the Hatch experiment station OF
Massachusetts is supported in part by
state appropriation. such use OF its
facilities by the people of the state is
not only justifiable but desirable, for
it was established for just that purpose,
and no one who incurs loss by insect
ravages can excuse himself for that loss
except on the ground of ignorance that
such assistance could be obtained.

About. three. miles south Of st. Joseph,
on the King Hill road. is located one OF
the Missouri state fish hatcheries. Its
chief interest lies in the fact that It is
the only place in the state or in the
country anywhere where goldfish are
propagated and distributed. Here
these little aquarium beauties may be
obtained for a mere "thank you." and
many are they who avail themselves of
this privilege. From October until
January four goldfish each are given
10 every citizen of the state until the
supply is exhausted.

UNHAPPY HOMES OF AUTHORS

Someone with passion for genuine

unhappily mated persons says writ
er in Success Magazine. For the bene-
fit of book,loving gossips he has pre-
pared a list of the foremost British
authors with a short description Of
their domestic relations The list is
so fun of matrimonial wrecks that the
compiler is forced to wonder whether
cheesemongers, stock brokers and the

nestle happiness as poets and play

No fewer than % out of 6s we'll

yam, Southey and Hazlitt, made sew
eral matrimonial ventures. OF the
rest, Shakespeare. Dryden, Addison,
Coleridge, Carlyle, Ruskin and Dick
ems are the most notable of long list
Of those who were unhappily married.
Why should the production Of litera-
ture be apparently so Incompatible
with a happy domestic life? Are lit
erary men less capable than lawyers
and plumbers of choosing congenial
mates? The truth seems to be that

Ink al 500 a Pound.

costs 500 a pound, and the scribes
use 1t in writing the correspondence
Of the royal family and the mandarins.
India ink is made of the oil Of the
poisonous seeds of the sosamum or
COLA tree. Varnish and pork fat are
added to this oil, and then, by means
of combustion, all is changed to
lampblack.
THE lampblack paste mixed with
glue is beaten for days on an anvil,
fine musk is gradually mixed in to
give perfume, and the purest gold leaf
to give rich luster Finally the ink
is dried in molGs for about month.
What makes the bcst India ink SO
costly is its purity, and. above all, the
long time given to its combustion and
subsequent beating, Ii you saw its
beauty you wouldn't think 1t dear at
