Cheap Shirts in China.

Chinese and Japanese shirt material
is cheap and attractive, and the low
price Of labor enables the native tail
Ors to place excellent shirts on the
market at most reasonable prices and
to make them to order To illustrate
the low cost of labor | will give a
specific instance which Is interesting
In this connection. A Chinese gentle
man who dresses in foreign style had
native tailor come to his house and
make shirts for him to order. The man
made at least one shirt a day, and re
ceived 40 cash a day for his work
and his food in addition. AS the food
cost not more than 40 cash, the total
cost a day did not exceed 250 cash.
which, at the present rate of exchange.
amounts to less than 10 cents United
States currency. AS the shirts which
this man made are excellent IN every
way, there is little inducement for the
Chinese to buy ready made shirts from
abroad, for similar arrangements can
be made in any part of China. the cost
varying slightly.

near Gettysburg, Pa. was posted this
sign:
All persons found using firearms in
these grounds will be prosecuted with
the utmost rigor OF the law"
For the failure to enforce 1t you
must blame old John Burns, for he
was the constable of Gettysburg, but
the majesty Of the law was himself
blazing away with borrowed gun.
And as accessory before the fact
you must indict the man who had the
shoe store, for he, and not Hooker,
Meade or Lee, brought on the battle
Of Gettysburg. A detachment Of men
in blue with holes in their shoes came
into town to clean out the store, and
at the same time came a detachment
OF gray with no shoes at all. and then
the village ordinance against the pro
miscuous use OF firearms began to
go to pieces.--American Magazine.

MODEL MAID GIVES ADVICE
With One Family Twenty Years,
Helena Schwartz Discloses the
Secret of Her Efficiency.

Just 20 years ago Helena Schwartz,
then two years from Germany, became
a maid in the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. B. Jacobson Of New York.
She has been there ever since
When a reporter asked Helena what
her employers had done to make her
service SO pleasant she said:
Before leaving for America my
mother called me to her and gave me
some advice, and | have tried to keep
it in mind. Remember, when you go
into service that your mistress clos
est interest is her home, and that 1t
rests a great deal with you to make
it agreeable. Do just as you would
do If it were your own home. Never
give anything away belonging to the
house. Not even the smallest mOrsel,
If any one talks to you about your
mistress, tells the doing in their own
household do not listen. Never gOs-
sip to your mistress either. Be both
deaf and blind to what goes on around
you, and above all things remember
that honesty and truthfulness will
never get you into trouble
II have kept these rules before me
at all times and if those girls who
wonder why they cannot get along in
their situations would adopt them, l
am sure their mistresses would be
quick to appreciate their services"

What Blythe Offers.

The outside stranger may ask,
What is there in the Palo erde val
ley to justify the expenditure Of
such sum of money as will be re-
Guired to construct a railroad into
that country?
To such an inquiring individual
here are some of the many reasons
why the undertaking is sane and
sensible one:
We have 100000 acres of the rich
est land the sun ever shown on al
ready under an economical system OF
vation
The land that is already under cul-
irrigation and susceptible of culti-
tivation is now producing more
than ten tons of alfalfa hay
per acre annually or bale and half
of cotton to each acre so planted
We're the land of the PalO Verde
valley that is now capable of being
irrigated, all in alfalfa, We could pro
duce the enormous amount OF more
than half millions tons of alfalfa
yearly. or to plant it In cotton we
could produce more than one hundred
thousand bales Of that staple, to say
nothing Of the thousands of tons OF
cotton seed that would be derived
theretrOm.
Cattle and hogs thrive on our
numerous products, all would assist
materially to make the operation OF
a railroad into such a country pro
fitable.-

HOT WEATHER DRINKS.

During the hot weather there is
great demand for cooling drinks, and
We prefer those made at home With
materials which are unquestionable,
rather than many which are served IN
bottles or at the fountains. In the fol-
lowing, there surely will be found one
which will suit the palate OF all:
Ginger Water.--This is til Oldfash-
toned drink which used to be carried
to the fields to refresh the tillers OF
the soil who have made our country
what it is today. This drink is just
as popular today among the descend
ants of the early fathers of our cOun-
try, and is so easily prepared that it
should be more frequently used. Take
4 tablespoonful Of ground ginger, add
three OF sugar and a pint OF ice cold
water; stir we'll and serve. In the
molasseS.
Rhubarb Drink.-This is very re-
freshing as we'll as wholesome drink
for children. Boil seven or eight
stalks OF pie plant in quart Of water
for ten minutes; strain into pitcher
in which has been placed the thin rind
Of lemon. Add four tablespoonfuls of
sugar and let stand for a few hours
before serving.
Orangeade.-Make & sirup by boil
ing half pound Of lump sugar with
cup of water. Pare four oranges
very thinly, put the rinds in a pitch
ar and pour on the boiling hot sirup.
Let stand until cold. then add the
juice Of the oranges and six lemons.
Add quart Of ice cold water, and
serve
Boston Cream.--This is drink
which will keep. and will be ready to
use In an emergency: Take two
pounds Of lump sugar and five pints
Of water; boil together fifteen min
utes. When cool add half an ounce Of
lemon extract two ounces of powdered
tartar1c acid and the whites of three
eggs we'll beaten. When quite cold,
bottle When required for use pour
a few tablespOonfuls Of the mixture
Ia glass, fill with three parts water.
stir up we'll and add quarter Of
teaspoonful Of soda. Stir briskly and
serve at once.

DESSERTS WORTH TRYING.

There are few people who are will
ing to forego the pleasure OF a des-
sert, and usually feel If none Is pro-
gided that they have been defrauded.
Orange Charlotte.-SOak one and
half tablespoonfuls OF gelatine in a
third OF cup or water. To third or
cup Of boiling water add cupful or
sugar, three tablespoonfuls Of lemon
Juice and a cup Of orange juice and
pulp. Chill in a pan Of ice water;
