A CUP OF TEA.
Il Plays q Curious Part In Chinese
Business Etiquette.

When a salesman or person seeking
business interview presents his card
at the entrance to Chinese mer-
chants place Of business the posi-
bility of an audience depends alto
gether upon how he deports himself
while awaiting the return Of the card
bearer. Should he be so fndiscreet as
to put one foot over the twelve inch
railing that intervenes between the
step and the doorway no manner OF
persuasion can prevail upon the mer-
chant to grant him an interview
In case he waits patiently in the
space allotted to unknown callers this
fact is noted. and he is usually usll-
cred in.
Once in. there is still Il more delicate
matter to be disposed Of. and in case
the newcomer is ignorant Of the GUS
tom he fares i'll with his errand. lin

and taking Il seat Il servant brings a
serving of tea, which includes small

point of etiquette demands that this
tea shall not be touched until the guest

view has been pleasant one in which

Down In a Coal Mine.

10 the ear accustomed to the con-
slant sound of living world the still
ness Of Il coal mine, where the miles
Of crosscuts and entries and the un-
yielding walls swallow up all sounds
and echo is a silence that is complete.
but as one becomes accustomed to the
silence through long hours Of solitary
work sounds become audible that
would escape an ear less trained. The
trickling murmur Of the gas, the spat-
tering fall Of lump Of coal loosened
by some mysterious force from a
Granny in the wall, the sudden knock
ing and breaking of a stratum far up
in the rock above or the scurry Of
rat off somewhere in the darkness
strike on the ear loud and startling.
The eye. too. becomes trained to pene-
trate the darkness, but the darkness Is
so complete that there is a limit-the
limit Of the rays cast by the pit lamp.

A FAMOUS RACE.
The Greatest Steamboat Contest on the
Mississippi River.

The Greatest Steamboat Contest on the
Mississippi River.
The greatest race ever run on the
Mississippi was between the Natchez
boat built in Cincinnati and COM
manded by Captain T. P. feathers.
and New Albany boat, the Robert E.
Lee, under Captain John W. Cannon.
There was spirited rivalry between the
two vessels, and when the NatcheZ
made the fastest time on record be-
tween New Orleans and St. Louis
Q,27S miles III 3 days Fl hours So min
utes) Captain Cannon resolved to beat
it. He engaged the steamer Frank
Pargoud and several fuel boats and
arranged for them to meet him at va
rious points up the river with wood
and coal. Then he had bis boat cleared
of all her upper works likely to catch
the wind or make the vessel heavier.
On Thursday, June 20, 1870, at 4:45
D. M, the Robert E. Lee steamed out
of New Orleans. The Natchez follow
ed five minutes later. The race had
been advertised in advance and was
now awaited with gathering interest
at all the river towns. Large crowds
were assembled at Natchez, Vicksburg,
Helena and other large places.
Between Cairo and st. Louis the
Natchez afterward claimed to have lost
seven hours and one minute on account
Of a fog and broken machinery. The
Robert E. Lee, however, was not de-
layed and arrived in st. Louis thirty
three minutes ahead Of the previous
record established by her competitor.
Fifty thousand people from the house
tops, the levee and the docks Of other
steamers welcomed the winner as she
steamed into port. Captain Cannon
was the lion Of the hour. The business
men gave a banquet in his honor. -

PRACTICAL CONSERVATION

In hi>>u>>ing some OF llt. matters that
i thinks >lnull engage the attention OF
the coming legislature, Editor Taylor of
the l.aAIourc Chronicle says:
Conservation. which some regard as
something II national rather than state
lpp'.cali' II, and other, regard as fad,
is becoming cm!nently practical and APP
picablr 70 this state. We do not begin
t., realize this until We begin to csti-
mate the thousands oi acres of precious
soil which have yearly been made to
Yield their thousands Of bushels Of
wheat: until We think OF the great de.
posts OF Ignite coal which underlie the
western slope country. Conservation Of
the soil is dnubly imperative when that
is but one OF two great resources OF a
>ta,r like our own. The legislature
should not underestimate the import
anCc Of appropriations which will be
utilized in discovering, testing and de-
;ernining the best methods OF farming
and crop rotation. Perhaps not even
the farmer himself realizes more than
the country editor the value and inn
portancc of the suggestions and the we'll
agricultural college of our state. 1t may
we'll be the peoples pride and the OBJ
ject Of legislative bounty, In connec.
ton with the matter of Ignite coal, we
might be disposed to observe that it is
not plain where conservation applies.
When Ignite was first placed on the
market it was used quite extensively
as fuel by way of try out, but has
gradually fallen into some disfavor
Hence, we might argue that there has
been no >candalous waste OF it, But
any dl>u>r into which Ignite has fallen
is due. not to any inherent defect of
merit or quality, but rather to the form
in which the carbon is found. Hence,
to put our conservation theory in some
what elementary form, The proposition
is to convert the lignitc-thi> vast de-
post vi power and heat producing fuel
into such a form that it may be used
by thousands of residents and power
users of the state. thus saving the thou
sands of dollars now expended in send
ing to far-of states for coal. 1t was
but recently that Dean Babcock of the
state university made public the extent
to which experiments had been carried
i'll the briquettng of Ignite coal The
method to which he refers bids fair to
place Ignite coal on a commercially
competitive basis with other varieties.
That the legislature will make appro.
priaton>. and generous ones. for per
iecting the process and installing bri-
quoting machinery, seems reasonably
certain
