their grievance was settled The troub-
lie. strange to say, came from a cof-
fin.
The girls were in the habit of chang
ing from ono department to another
without asking the manager. and they
looked so much alike that the foreign
officials could not tell II they were
In their right places. Thereupon "a
system OF badges was instituted, Civ
ing 10 tdcn girl pm labeled with
characters indicating the name OF the
department to which she belonged
Every girl had to have her own
badge and wear IT. The badges were
round. square or shaped like n key
stone according to the rooms in which
the girls worked. 1t was the last
badge which caused the trouble. The
day after the order went forth the
girls with the keystone pins struck.
and the next noon the others. went out

keystone badges would bring bad luck

employed In the night shift as in the

the year through. It's chief product is
cotton yarn for the domestic weavers.
This is made up into bundles. which
are then packed into bales of 400
pounds each, and shipped all over the
country. The yarn Is woven into cloth
on hand looms and 1t supplies large
part OF the clothing of the common

the mills Of India and Japan. and also
with those which are now starting up
In the other parts of China I am told
there are something like 100000 spindles
now working upon such yarn at Shang-
hail. and also large number at
Ningpo and Soochow. There is one
big mill at Hangchow. one at Canton,
and some at Hongkong, Wuchang and

the people easily learn to handle the

NEW MILLING MACHINERY.
The Chinese are rapidly introducing
the better class of machines. and their
