FEW CH!l!ESE IVORY CARv vERS
There Are Only Six Expert Workers
Distributed Among Forty
Shops in Canton.

There are in Canton about forty
shops which make and sell ivory arti-
cles, the Daily Consular Report states.
Each store is small, consisting usually
of a showroom, where the cutting is
done. Members of the store also
usually work in the showroom. The
industry may be divided into two
stages, cutting and carving. Tusks
imported from Siam constitute the
raw material These are first cut with
a saw to the shape capable of being
worked by carving. The cutting ap-
paratus consists of wooden block
or wise, a saw and a tub of water.
The ivory is secured firmly by the
wise, moistened with water and cut
to the required shape.
Perfectly fiat pieces of ivory as thin
as paper were shown in evidence of
the skill of the cutter. The cutting
finished, the blocks are then carved
into shape with knives of many diff
ferent shapes These have a short
blade and long handle made of bam-
boo, like a penholder. Other instru-
ments noted to be in use by carvers
were wire saws and a gimlet worked
by a leather twirling apparatus.
The number Of expert workers in
Canton is far less than the number
Of stores, being only about six in
number. The term of apprenticeship
served by the experts is four years.
An apprentice receives no wages, but
gets 81 Canton currency as shoe
money" at the end OF the first year.
| IS at the end OF the second year, $6
at the end of the third year and 81
at the end Of the fourth year, which
| is all the compensation he receives.
A good worker gets 81 to SO Canton
currency per month. Canton curren-
cy silver money is about half the
equivalent of gold. Apprentices and
good workers are provided with two
meals day, supplied by their en-
ployers. An expert carver seldom
works in the shop which employs him
He generally works in his own house
and can earn about $50 Canton cur
rency a month.
The working hours are from 7 a. m
to $3.50 p. M, with intermission from
$3.50 to 10:30 for morning meal, sc
to 2 for lunch in tea shop and S: 81
to 1880 for evening meals in all
ten hours a day.
There are about 316 working days
in the year, A holidays being deduct
ed from the $50 days. which are reck
oned one year, according to the lunar
calendar.

The Scnrcher.

Simeon Ford was talking about the
French chauffeurs employed by some
of New Yorks multimillionaires.
These chaps" he said, "often get
as much as $3.50 a month and found
just for looking pretty. For they
won't clean a car; they won't repair
it; they'll only drive it.
And they drive it fast! They're
scorchers! Yes, they're scorchers,
both literally and figuratively.
Il heard of an elderly Irish cook
who got engaged to a dashing young
chauffeur from Marseilles. She said
to her mistress. after announcing this
betrothal:
"My husband that is to be, mum,
is such a scorcher that it's bewil-
derin' Saturday he picked me up
after knockin' me down with his linn
CUISINE; Sunday we got engaged, and
today | find that he already owes me
$4O0.'"

Practicinu Forethouqht.

Forethought looks beyond the OBJ
stacle to ultimate results. 1t reaches
out constructively for a way to get
over, through or around that which
hinders the realization of its object.
Forethought, when exercised, de-
velops the imagination. The mind ac-
customed to thinking ahead soon ac-
quires vision. This leads to freedom
in a higher degree. The one who
takes no forethought is surprised, cast
down, discouraged when anything
goes wrong. Such a one is enslaved,
imprisoned, as it were, by wall of
circumstances. The one accustomed
to use forethought is far less the
slave of circumstance. Such a one
learns to look for way by which
to turn the unpleasant experience into
profitable results. He uses his i'm
agination to find way out. He
thinks constructively instead Of just
blindly giving in to fate. He has
learned that by forethought and i'm
agination, by creative, constructive
thinking, he can find new ways to sue
cess when one way is blocked.-From
the Nautilus.

The Swineherd.

This story is being told of certain
English bishop who has a pleasant
habit of chatting with anybody he
may meet during his country walks.
The other day he came across a lad
who was looking after some pigs by
the roadside, and the bishop paused
to ask him what he was doing, that
being his usual opening to conversa-
tion.
"Moindin' swine" the lad replied
stolidly.
The bishop nodded his head
thoughtfully.
''Ah, is that so?" he commented.
And how much do you earn a week."
1.-TWO shillin's," was the reply.
only two shillings," remarked the
bishop; then he continued pleasantly:
81, too, am a shepherd, but l get
more than two shillings."
The lad looked at him seriously for
a minute, then he said slowly:
"Mebbe you gets more swoine nor
me to moind!"

OrIain of Trial BY Jury.

A trial by jury is an occurrence of
which we read every day, but how
many of our readers know the origin
of such trial?
The origin Of trial by jury is very
obscure. All that is known for GER
tain is that from the earliest times
the Anglo-Saxons and other Germanic
tribes showed a decided preference
for the number twelve when forming
committee to determine upon the
guilt or innocence Of a person.
The legal existence of jurors was
first recorded under the Plantagenets.
During the reign Of Queen Elizabeth
a jury which could not agree was sent
to prison, and also at the same period
a banquet was generally given to the
jury by the successful litigant. This
latter fact naturally made the jury
men anxious to prove the innocence
of their victim, especially when he
happened. to be wealthy.

German Women coIIegians.

During the last six years the num-
Der of women students at the German
universities has nearly quadrupled. In
the winter Of 1908, when the doors Of
German universities were first fully
thrown open to women, there were
1,108 women students enrolled; today
there are 1855 women taking regular
courses and as many more who are
attending lectures. Nearly 400 of the
women students are foreigners. Rus
sia sends the largest number and
America the next. The women have
for three years been going more to
the non-Prussian universities. Leip-
zig and Munich especially had large
gains in that time; and the smaller
institutions like jena Wurzburg and
Breiburg have also made relatively
large gains.
