Mr. Richard Bennett, of this city, is a
Very observant man, and addicted to meas
uring proposition! carefully, weighing
Statements and analyzing theories and ob
serving their effects when carried into prac
tice, and as when he travels he
does it with his eyes open, his gleanings
daring a ten weeks' trip along the Pacific
Slope would make interesting reading.
Bat his study of the Chinese question is
of more material interest than are all the
wonders of creative effort ,in the Boeky
Mountains. The materials were not only
inquiries on all hands as to the effect ol the
pagan horde's competition on the happiness
of the working classes, male and
female, bnt personal inspection of
their haunts, modes of living, religions
notions and practices generally. Mr. Ben
sett encountered in Fresno a Canadian who
raises raisin grapes in the San Joaquin Val
ley. This man, Forsythe by name, gives
employment to 1,000 Chinese ingathering
bis grapes during 90 days each season, and
pays them 51 50 a day, they fiuding them
selves and saving much the greater part of
their income. Mr. Forsythe says that un
less he could get this work done by Chinese
and at the figure named, tie woniajM ooiigea
to go out of the business, and is inclined to
be very angry at any one who suggests that
they are a curse to the coast But Mr. Ben
nett states that personal observations con
vinced him that their yearly migrations
north and south along the Pacific
coast for 1,000 miles are more destructive to
the interests of independent, self-respecting,
working people who, under proper encour
agement, are the mainstay of a country in
times O! trouble, than would be a semi
annual visitation of locusts. He says
that the competition of the Chinese
out there demoralizes the average
poor white man who must either become
a tramp and compete by flitting from place
like the celestial or "leave the country.
"While it impoverishes independent pro
prietors of moderate means, it makes a few
like Mr. Forsythe very rich. The latter
became hot when tho suggestion was made
that the permanent employment of 100
white families on his plantation would be
better lor the country, if not so profitable
to him, he contending that he should uot be
held to any accountability as his brother's
keeper, and that success in life was a devil-take-the-hindmost
matter. Mr. Bennett
says the system on the Slope is more de
moralizing than was human slavery in the
Sooth.
v HOW THEY CAN DO IT.
Several days' exnlorations in company
with a policeman, through Chinatown, ex
plained how it was possible for a heathen to
float 1,000 miles each year plotting fruit and
doing other harvesting in the succession ot
seasons in that breadth of latitude on $1 50
or less a day, boarc himself, and yet amass
a competence a Chihese competence. In
Chin. town 45,000 human beings crowd into
the same space as that bounded by Fourth
and Fifth avenues, Smithfield and Grant
streets in this city, over 6,000 people to the
acre. It is as if the entin- population of the
Southside were crowded between the bound
aries mentioned. If the same kind of stow
age prevailed in Pittsburg all of the 60,000,
000 population of the United States could
be placed in it, and there would be left a
surplus greater than the combined popula
tion ft New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Chicago, Boston, Baltimore. Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Sew Orleans ana all the other
cities in the United States. Merciiul
heaven, how we would sweat these balmy
January daysl At this rate of packing, the
entire population of the globe could be placed
in two Pennsylvania counties and leave more
elbow room than there is in Chinatown.
Even San Francisco hoodlnms have some
excuse for their dislike of the Chinese.
Their irruption into California may event
ually be more destrnctive than was that of
their relatives, the Huns into Europe some
hundreds of years ago.
Mr. Bennett says he doesn't believe he
could ever have found his way out without
n. guide, as he could not tell whether he was
on the ground floor, in the cellar or upstairs.
The outlets he considers fully as difficult to
find as was that of the Cretan labyrinth,
where the Minotaur was confined or that of
any other mentioned in ancient history.
HOW THEY ABE PACKED.
In this vast hive, more populous than a
prairie-dog town, the hall-ways are so nar
row that a 200-pound man is obliged to go
sidewise to effect an entrance, and what an
.ordinary American would consider a com
fortable sleeping chamber will accommodate
50 Chinese in as much comfort as they ever
know indoors. Instead of windows in their
sleeping dens they have anger-holes bored
to admit air, and a person of weak stomach
would faint in five minutes, if confined in
one of their sleeping apartments, and in
these dens children are born and raised,
whether their parents were given in mar
riage by any known rite or not. How the
babies exist is uot understood, as the
opium-laden air would poison a
viper. For thev not only sleep in
these dens, but "hit the pipe" in them also,
possibly the stupefaction resultant making
the surroundings more endurable than other
wise. The law does not interfere with this
Celestial enjoyment so long as it is confiued
to the inmates, but they are not allowed to
keep opium joints for white custom.
As is generally known, the Chinese are
inveterate gamblers, but uowhere else in
America can the lay-out equal that in San
.Francisco. The gambling dens were orig
inally built of three-eighths-inch boiler iron,
doors as well, and all the police in the city
could not effect an entrance. Finally the
law laid its heavy paw on them, and they
were forced to substitute wooden doors for
boiler iron ones. These, however, are verv
powerful and heavily barred, and would re
sist considerable bombardment by the
police, were the inmates as good fighters as
the average Pittsburg tough.
THE COSMOPOLITAN COCKBOACH.
There are no rats of consequence to be seen
In Chinatown. "Whether or no the inhabi
tants eat them as last as they arrive is not
atfinltely known, but it is claimed that
there is nothing in the vermin line mean
Enough to live in Chinatown save cock
roaches, and entomologists who have studied
Ihe habits and tastes of the latter can doubt
less divine the bond of sympathy. Some
charge the cockroach with being the genesis
of trichina and in the minds of San Fran
ciscans, Chinese, rats, roaches and pigs are
intimately associated, and Mr. Bennett
thinks that no one can imagine any virtue
self-existent in Chinatown, and Celestial
.fondness for pork does not abate the disgust
Some of them contend that there is no ver
inln mean enough to teed ou an opium
soaked Chinaman except a cockroach.
There are open spaces among the houses
5n Chinatown where cooking is done in the
open air, no artificial heat being needed to
warm thsir crowded sleeping apartments.
All cook on stoves made of five-gallon oil
pans. The top of the can is open and there
bre perforations near the bottom to admit
air. Rear the center are other perforations
to support cross wires, and on these fuel is
laid. The city furnished excellent ranges
cost free, to prevent danger from fire, but
neither persuasion nor force could induce
the Chinese to use them. They are more
enacious in holding to fatherland customs
hau are their brethren in this section.
ko ceipples xaosa TIIM.
No one ever saw a crippled Chinaman in
Ibis city. This is not strange here! as a
rnn is sot likely to lose an arm or leg at
Jaondry work. But the same is noticed in
California, where Chinese are engaged in
the most dangerous kinds of labor, and are
often mutilated. Mr. Bennett learned that
as soon as a Chinaman gets an arm or leg
broken be is regarded as useless, and his
brethren waste no time on surgery, but kill
him at once, boil the flesh from his bones
and ship them to China. While a crippled
live one is regarded as of no use. great
veneration is paid to his bones, whether
from the same motive that made the
Egyptians worship their ancestors, or
for" their value as fertiliser, is per
haps not so well defined as
some ethnologists think. A superintendent
of an electric light company in Los Angeles
states that there is bnt oneone-legged China
man in California. He had his leg crushed
in machinery and begged of some Ameri
cans not to allow the Chinese to take him to
their quarters. There was a savage fight,
but the Americans carried the injured man
to n hospital, where his leg was amputated,
and he was in time furnished with a patent
one or approved Kinu on which he soon
learned to walk well. He then abjured his
religion, had his queue cut off, allowed bis
hair to grow all over his head and has since
kept out of the way of his countrymen, and
is in quite prosperous circumstances. A
maimed Chinaman, like a surplus baby, is
regarded as a burden and is sent to the bone
boiler as soon as the breath can be beaten
out of him. And yet they are not entirely
destitute of natural" affection, but ideas of
utility are paramount, they resembling in
this respect the Patagonian Indians.
AX EXCEPTION AS TO PHYSICIANS.
But pathology and therapeutic ability
are held in high repute, though' surgery is
despised, and some doctors and druggists
are highly prosperous. Seeing a Celestial
get a prescription filled Mr. Bennett had
his conductor get the same duplicated for
him. He hasn't yet learned to read it, but
hopes to do so sometime. Here it is, though
not given in the pharmaceutical lingo com
mon here: "One dried lizzard, four locust
shells, four dried caterpillars and two big
bugs, in appearance like the cimex lec
tularis, but, unlike it, does not give an un
pleasant aroma to the decoction." The
whole is directed to be madb into a tea, but
no Pittsburger has yet tried its efficacy as a
cure for the grip. The whole costs two
"bittee," 25 cents.
Regarding gambling, the Chinaman
should be judged leniently. He is no more
addicted to it than is the American, and he
has this advantage in his favor, that even
his religion does not discountenance, but
smiles on it. Before going into any ven
ture he enters his joss house and, taking in
his hands two semi-circular pieces of wood,
flat on one side and oval on the other, places
the ends together and after bowing three
times before the god, tosses the disks into
the air. If both fall on the fiat side the
issue of the event proposed is considered
certain to be prosperous. If both fall, on
the round side it is abandoned, but if one
lights on one side and the other on the other,
it is a stand-off and private judgment is al
lowed to determine. Mr. Bennett tried his
luck, but it was a case of "splits."
There is a trace of devil worship in their
religion. In the joss house there are six
josses, two principal and four inferior, or as
sociate. The principal good god is an im
age, of a fine-looking, full-bearded man,
bearing a strong resemblance to the sup
posed portraits of the Christian's Mediator.
His associates are inferior in appearance.
Beneath this trinity are placed the three
malevolent gods. 'All are liberally fur
nished with three kinds of ardent spirits,
several kinds of meat ami other food. It is
probable these -viands are consumed by the
priests during the absence of worshipers.
Anyhow, they disappear daily, or nightly,
and the gods show no signs of dyspepsia.
The good gods are worshiped, and the evil
ones propitiated. ,
NOT ASIEKICAN PBOTECTIONISIS.
The San Franciscan Chinese are not en
ambred with the rather prevalent American
idea of protection. They import everything
ther can from the Flowery Kingdom, from
edible birds nests to poultry and eggs,every
thing save thelatter being jerked, or dried.
Ducks, an especial favorite with them, are
killed, dried and stretched out until they
are almost as thin as parchment, and spread
on bamboo. Dried oysters come on strings,
as American housewives 40 years ago
strung quartered apples to dry, or sennits,
as the Pennsylvania Dutch call them. The
canning industry tas not caught on in
China. Eggs come incased in black mud,
dried, which seems impervious to air, and
they are Kept fresh fresh enough for Chi
nese taste, at least an indefinite time.
This food must be very cheap in China to
stand cost of freight and 4Qty and compete
with California cheapness.
Their patriotism extends to everything
and the historical plays at their own theater
prevent their being weaned away by false
gods, and they exhibit no liking lor En
glish drama, but. of course, thev cannot be
'expected to understand It. Mr. Bennett at
tended one act of a play in Chinatown.
There were 33 acts, each extending over one
night's performance. The admission fee for
a Chinaman or woman was 10 cent', for a
Melican man lour "bittee," 50 cents, but he
was allowed to sit on the stage with the
actors. There were 5,000 Chinese present,
and as there is no elaborate orcostly scenery
the patronage was remunerative. There
were no drop curtains, no change of scene
and all went on in plain sight of the audi
ence. The sexes sat apart, and there were
no demonstrations of applause. The whites
refrained because they did not know where
the applause came in, and the celestials
evidently felt that " as they had
to pay for the entertainment , they
were " not under obligation to
praise. They were, however, liberal in
demonstrations of dissent, and when an ac
tor (there were no actresses) made a break
they jeered him unmercifully. Though the
act was long and tiresome to an American,
there was no going out on the part of the
Chinese to "see a man" or "get a clove."
Their tonsorial artists are very expert,
with the razor, not with the tongue, and a
shave is an elaborate affair. Not only is
the face shaved, but the head, all except the
queue, the eyebrows, eyelids, the inside and
outside of the nose and the ears, and evi
dently all hair is regarded as superfluous,
except the queue. The ears and nostrils are
also skillfully cleansed, and the victim is
finally given a course of massage treatment
that makes his flesh tingle for days. It
costs no more than an American shave, not
so much as one gotten in an ultra-fashionable
shop. DOUTHITT.

THE QUIZ MEETING.
St. Paul Was Jilted, Therefore Wrote
as Be Did.
EULOGIES ARE HOT PERMISSIBLE.
Differences of Opinion as. to the Observance
of Christmas.
5EWSX NOTES PK0M THE CHDECHE8
Last Monday being the first Mondayof
the month was what is termed "Quiz" day
by the Presbyterian ministers, they devot
ing tbe hour on that day to answering ques
tions, which have been previously given by
whoever is the appointed "Quiz master" for
the day. These meetings develop much in
terest, and larger attendance is thereby se
cured. Bev. A. K. Linn was the master
this month. '
The first question, "Should- fnneral ser
vices be eulogistic?" was assigned to the
Bev. DeWitt C. Benbam, of the Point
Breeze Church, who said that the words
spoken on these occasions should be of com
fort: they should have reference to the fact
of a resurrection and of a hope of reunion.
In earlier times, among the heathen, the
orations were for the purpose of bringing to
mind the good qualities of the deceased,
when only true Christians dared profess.
"With us it is not always so; so many unbe
lievers are mixed with the believers, and we
are called upon to officiate over their forms.
but can not discriminate. The minister as
sociates with his people in their homes, but
does not know much of their outside life.
It is 'therefore essentially unbecoming to
eulogize. We sh'ould favor a simple ritual,
that could be used at all times. The truest
eulogy a man can have is his work. Let the
press, -the friends, or outsiders eulogize, but
let ministers speak merely of the tact that
they shall rise again.
Bev. I. K. Hays, D. D., answered the
second question. "Shsuld the marriage
ceremony ever be performed on the Sab
bath," by saying that it is a civil rather than
a religious institution. No day is too good. Its
validity certainly cannot be called in ques
tion. He said: There are two kinds of
contracts, the completed and computable.
The first is legal on Sunday. Marriage in
its nature is a completed contract, and bind
ing wherever and whenever it is performed.
It is to the interests or the State to encourage
'not binder marriages. When, however,
people choose the Sabbath to save time, or
for hilaritv they ought never to be per
formed. He had always advised against it,
and had only officiated three times on Sun
days, and is sorry he had ever done so. It
may be lawful but not expedient.
"Should either of the sacraments be ad
ministered in view of death?" wjs the third
question, and was given to Dr. Beacom to
answer, who said, I cannot find when the
authority is from. When it is so desired it
is with the idea that in some way or other it
will take away the stain of sin, as they do
not realize that neither is there salvation in
any other. ..bengal, tne great theologian,
whe.n about to die, had read and re-read to
him the first of John, saying, "I can die
on that." If be could find nothing better
than Jesus Christ, then we do not want to
take anything else to the homes in our com
munities; therefore, I answer "no" to this
query.
The pastor of the First Church, Alle
gheny, Bev. D. L. Kennedy, was asked
."Should Protestants recognize Christmas as
commemorative of Christ's birthday?" He
thought by so doing we belittle the Lord's
day; it induces a tendency to ritualism. It
makes prominent what God has hidden, as
we do not know when it took place,
as we know nothing of his per
sonal appearance. Its educational influ
ences are not good. The tree is of heathen
origin. It tends to cultivate the flesh rather
thon the spirit. However about it there are
many things commendable. The church
should be at liberty to call attention to it,
but it never should be obligatory. Make it
a happy family day, for reunion around the
family board. But would not advocate a
service on that day. The Bev. G. T. Purves,
D. D., could not agree with the views of
Mr. Kennedy.
"Is it in accordance with thegeniusof the
Presbyterian Church for .a if Oman To take
part in the public meetings?" was assigned
to Bev. Crawford. He said: A New England
divine once said a woman had an undoubted
right to change and sing bass if she wanted
to and could. Christ always had a very
tender spot for woman, but Paul became
bitter. Tradition says of Paul that he once
sought the hand of a daughter ot one of the
High Priests and being refused, it influenced
his writings as to woman ever after. Ter-
"tullian says "she is the gateway of the
devil. Clement said: "It is a shame to
sayot whatnaturesheis." But we do not so
say. The Presbyterian Church is one of true
libertv. Were women not allowed to take
part in some of our meetings for prayer,
what would become of many of our prayer
meetings. In. the church at Corinth, there
may have been forward women, who needed
such a reprimand, but this surely is not so
with us. Bev. D. S. Kennedy did not agree
with the sentiments expressed; but would
keep Paul's injunction, and thought we
should begin to emphasize man's work in
the church more than had been done.
V
Bemember, three things come uot backs
The arrow sent upon its track.
It will not swerve, it will not Slav
Its speed; It flies to wound or slay.
Tbe spoken word, so soon forgot
By tbee; but it has perished not;
In other hearts 'tis living still.
And doing work for good or ill.
And the lost opportunity.
That cometh back no more to thee;
In vain thou weepest, in vain dost yearn.
These three will never moreTeturn. "

The TJ. P. Churches do not always forget
their pastors and their wives, as Is proved by
tbe Houstonvllle people, who presented a gold
watch to the pastor, and an easy chair to his
wife. They considered the fitness of things, as
they wished tbe wife to take her ease, and the
pastor always to be on time; Rev. W. H. Mc
Murray, Toronto, O,, received a verv handome
bed-room set in antique oak; Bev. J. W. Kerr,

FARMERS ROBBED.
Two Men Arretted on the Ctinrtco of Steal
ing Horses, Buggies and Provision!.
On Wednesday night a horse and a buggy
were stolen from the barn of Mr. Teels, near
Sharpsburg. The horse was left at tbe farm
of Mr. Borland, where another horse and
a wagon were stolen, as well as 1,000 pounds
of pickled meat. The wagon tracks were
traced to the vicinity of a shanty boat, in
the Allegheny river, near Aspinwall
station, above Sharpsburg. On Thursday
Umcer Jonn iiawrcnca arrested two men
found in the Bhanty boat and took them to
the Sharpsburg jail. They gave their names
as Albert C. and P. J. Emmick. A large

About two years ago my wife had a very
troublesome cough, ot so serious a character
that we all became very anxious; indeed, it
seemed that we had but little to hope for.as the
lungs were affected. We tried various niedi
cines, but very little if any benefit seemed
to be derived from any of them; so that it
appeared the disease had complete mastery,
and nothing but death would bring relief.
I was then advised to give Dr. D. Jayne's.
Expectorant a trial, and doing so, to our
surprise, found great benefit from its use.
Persisting with it, she gradually commenced
improving, until the principal symptoms
disappeared entirely, and she has enjoyed
reasonably good health ever since. John

After very careful consideration we have

rWBITTEN FOR Till DISFTCB.l
There was a new arrival at Hayseeds',
about a quarter past milkin time last Fri
day night. It come from fumn parts, only
stoppin' on the way at Boston an' some
other favored corners of tbe vineyard to get
acquainted, in its insinuatin' way, with the
elite. The elite'll all know him next time,
without his card.
As I was a stirrin' my stumps to get the
milk to the spring house before dark
Jerusha always had a mighty oncertain
temper about strainin' milk by lamp light
I was scared most out of my boots by a
noise that sounded like a cross between a
screamin' horse and a 20-inch buzz saw:
"Ketchum I ketchu-m I ' kefchu-m I
ketchu m I" a leetle louder an more risin'
in inflection each successive time, an' there
were four or fife successive times.
"Well," says I, playfully like, jest to
keep up my spirits, for like as not I was
goin' to be the one to ketchum; "Whv don't
you ketchum an' say no more about it: or is.
it a mouse got yu treed on the wash table?"
"Jodaihud Hadezeeds," says Jerusha con
siderably nettled it's a sure sign of a storm
when she calls me anything but 'pap' "you
dod sedt dod dat bilg.od dod geeb be wadig
all dight, 111 'ketcbub; you pretty dlibely.
Cad you dzee ib geddig dat dradded Budiin
gnbV"
AN EDUCATIONAL IDEA.
From the way she spoke I could see that
it wasn't anything in English she bad got,
but I thought, in my facetious way, to cheer
her up a bit; so says I. "I hain't the least
objections to your gettin ltjirovided it don't
come higher n we can afford with wheat
an' taturs sellin' down, to rock bot
tom, but I didn't know they threw in
the language for good measure. Easier'n
learnin' it from a dictionary, T should say.
A good plan to throw out at vour next
.meetin' for missionaries, provided you can
get a Japanese grip, an' a Soudan grin an'
a good assortment of grips for other be
nighted parts." Just there I was inter
rupted in my gentle play of humor, with tbe
churn-dash an' "ketchum 1 ketchum 1 ketchu-m
i I" again, until I had counted two
more'n her best record, an' Fido had unsot
a crock of cream an' three pans 6f milk,
try in' to get onto the rat he thought his
mistress was a settin' him after.
You better believe Jerusha'd a looked
mad then, only there wan't a vacant place
left on her face to hang out any sign of it;
the grip had a poster an' foot-bills, an
uouncin' his arrival, covciin' every feature
an' hangin' down over the edges. You can
generally guess a woman's feelin's lrom the
snap of her eye, bnt snappin's too much in
reason to expect of an eye that has took on
twicet its natural size, tryin' to look like a
full moon done in beet-juice color, an'
strainin' every nerve to peel itself or die.
JEBUSHA TVEEPS COPIOUSLY.
It was a big contract enongh to weep all
over the totalarea of both them eyes simul
taneously, let alone snappiu', but Jernsba's
orbs succeeded in gettin' over the ground
with a sprinkler that often or oftener. But
for common, week-day purposes they wan't
worth a cent. When I come to tussle with
mSunday shirt.that she had in her mendin'
ba'sket for repairs that week, I'll be flailed
it she hadn't sewed every last button up an
down the buttonhole side oi tbe house, an
lett the button side lookin' as lonesome as a
stable with the hosses stolen. An' I saw
her empty a pan ot her best cream into the
swill pail, for sour milk, ah' try to iasten
her back hair in a top-knot with a ten penny
nail, an such other little eccentricities
more becomin' one moon struck, than the
respectable mother of bix children.
But if the Bushiu'grip is hard on eye
sight, it's a cantion how it gets in its work
on an able-bodied Christian nose that has al
ways lived respectable an' in plain Quaker
colors. I s'pose bein' used to Kushin noses.lt
ain't yet got acclimated to republican institu
tions. Jerusha's nose waslikeabagof clabber
hung to drip, for shape; and first cousin to
Colonel Jack Blunderbusses, for color, that
it cost him his father's estate an' his own to
bring to blusbin' peony perfection. To tell
the truth, I've known of church meetin's
bein' called on less provocation than snch a
nose, but I make it a rate not to tell all I
know when it's likely to prejudice my own
interests to do so. This was otre of the
times it was likely.
THE NWGHBOBS YOLUJfTEER HELP.
It was as much as a bargain for Jerusha to
get through her night work an' anywhere
nigh half the remedies the neighbors pre
scribed; Every soul in Slabaides remem
bered a cold an uncle, or grandfather, or
first wife's second cousin once had, which
thev'd a scorned, as good American patriots,
to doubt was any amount nastier to handle
than this upstart iurrin grip, if it was from
the polar zone; an' they had just the herb
or concoction that had caught it under the
hip an' floored it in no time. You don't
know how k.ind your neighbors be until you
have a cold to doctor. The sum total of
what the bull neighborhood knew about the
business, an' had been handed down to
them from the forefathers an' beforefathers,
was poured at Jerusha's feet, freer'n water
at a wood bee, an' in all styles an' color of
hair an' eyes, irom Douin not to irosen
solid, an' from sweet as honey to gall an'
wormwood.
Jerusha couldn't a listened to 'em all if
she would an' she didn't woulo! an' if the
crack ot doom had been ringing in her ears
in sharps an' flats, she couldn't a heard it
in time to waslfher hands before Gabriel
come. All she could do was to hold her
head between her hands for safe keepin' an'
custody, as it were, an' to prevent it
spreadin' over more territory, like a Kansas
land boom, So I was left to map out the
campaign. I drew it in red chalk on the
jamb. It spelled this: "Shut vour eyes an'
go it blind." I couldn't try all the sure
cure stufi first, that was certain; an' him as
his wasn't tried first was going' to feel
offended. Bein' a church member, I couldn't
suggest drawin' cuts. The only thing.1
could think of an' I don't believe Julius
CtEsar or Solomon ever hit a cuter piece of
strategy was to begin with A an' adminis
ter tbe remedies in all the letters ot the al
phabet until glory perched on our banuers.
AN ALPHABETICAL TREATMENT.
1 struck in with "ammonia snuffed npthe
nose," wbioh a note from the parson's wife
said bad relieved her. I don't know what
some people would call relief. She omitted
to say up whose nose it was to be snuffed,
but the ammonia was equal to settlin' any
such little question as that, which it did as
soon as Jake uncorked the bottle, by climb
in' up all our noses in full force except
Jerusha's. Either it couldn't find the way
there, wjth the directions given, or else it
was not acquainted with the fnrrin Inflno
enzv an' wanted an' introdnction; but the
misguided zeal of thcammonia was enough to
bring suspicion an' reproach on its good in
tentions. Auntie Swearingen 'lowed that a quart of
boneset tea, drunk hot and without sweeten
in', bad a war record back to the Bevolu
tion, in their family, for carin' colds. I
took particular pains this time to inquire
who was to drink it, an' whether the effects
would be visited on the drinker or the
drinkee. X did this to protect the interests
of Jake and myself, for though Jake is only
a hired man, I'm not that much of a
heathen to expose my hired help to danger.
As I didn't 'low to give the enemy any
breathin' spell, I followed tbe boneset up
with two tablespoonfuls of cherry pectoral,
three aover powaers an' a toll regulation
dose or epsota suits, w nea x easae to r,

II la tbe gootatlou, bat Jake,
an' I rose equal to the emergency. We both
rose at tbe same time, only he rose higher'n
I did, sayin' "flannel" at the-time I said
"footbath." Wo tried em both. Granny
Grimes was on time with goosegrease. for G,
which she said was good to rub the bottoms
of the ieet-an tbe nose holes with. The
goosegrease was as rancid as last fall's but
ter, bnt Granny wouldn't own the corn. She
'lowed she had salted it enough to keep it
sweet till doomsday, an' if Brown Seethard
had only a thought to put some in his elixir,
there wouldn't a been such a fuss about it
spoilin'.
TUB DOCTOR OBJECTS.
Horse radish leaves, Indian tnrnip,
jujube, Kendall's spavin cure good for man
an' beast, lamp oil, mandrake bitters,
onion syrup, peppermint tea came right up
to timej an' we should have done our duty
an' gone right on through X, Y an' Z if the
doctor hadn't a happened in just alter
quinine an' red pepper tea. an' 'lowed that
such doctorin' would kill Canada thistles,
root an' branch, an' that a stomach pump
was tbe only, thing f would save Jerusha's
life.
Next mornin' the patient was very weak,
but she would get up an' get breakfast.
She couldn't taste a mite more than mside
of sole leather, an' put sugar In the potatoes
an' salt in the coffee, (an' then wanted to
know what I was actin' like a monkey for,
because I made up a face. After that
Jerusha an' I martyred it through for fonr
davs. bnt as we're divided in ODinion as to
whether tbe sufferer from the grip was the
biggest martvr, or tbe sufferer faom the
aforesaid sufferer, I am a holdin' back my
application for a saintship. v
It's my candid opinion, though, that a
common cold that you can put in four
letters, ain't no more to be compared with
this Bushin inflooenzy than a meal sack to
a circus tent. It's tbe first real, full-blooded
imported stock that I ever had on my farm,
with a clean pedigree straight from the
Czar of Bushy, but I want it understood
that it'll go cheap to the first bidder, with a
halter throwed in tbe bargain, snre'sm my

)Ir. Daniel P. Crawford, of Demorest &
Crawford, has lately bid a singular and
very painful experience. Some time ago
what seemed to be a pimple made its ap
pearance on his face, and, though it caused
him much suffering, he did not for some
time attach any importance to it. At length,
as it obstinately refused to go the way ot all
regular pimples, Mr. Crawford became
alarmed, and, concluding it was a cancer,
decided one day this week to go to a surgeon
and have it extracted, if possible.
On the way he stopoed at a barber shop
to get shaved, charging the barber to be
carefnl and avoid the sore, as it was giving
excruciating pain. The admonition led the
barber to scrutinize the protuberance care
fully, and be at length informed Mr. Craw
ford that the tronble was caused by a Jiair,
and suggested that ho be allowed to cut It
out. Six. Crawford consented, and the
barber went to work, and uncovered the hair
so tbat he conld seize it with a -pair of
tweezers. It was drawn out, and when
stretched was fonnd to measure five feet.
When allowed to go free the hair curls up
just as it lav ut der the skin. Mr. Craw
ford's pain has abated and the wound is
healing.
Just how the hair came to be in the posi
tion fonnd is a matter of considerable dis
cussion, bnt it is suggested that years ago
in shaving, a beard stubble was pressed un
der tbe skin, and continued to grow until it
attained the phenomenal length noted, but
it must have grown for years before causing
pain or making itself observable; 3Ir.
Crawford preserves the hair as a curiosity,
but so far has had no calls from museum
proprietors.

trie Heard In Defalk
Washington1, January 10. As the
tariff hearings before the Ways and Means
Committee draw to close they cover a
wider field. To-day was set down for the
discussion of that schedule of the tariff act
known as "sundries."
L. O. FIttlinger, tf New York, represent
ing the Lithographers' Association, pleaded
for a large increase of the dnties on lithographs-
.Edward S. Hatch Of New York,
favored a change from an ad valorem to a
specific duty on litbograpblo work, as the
only way to prevent undervaluation.
Maurice Kaufmann, of New York, an im
porter of lithographic work, tookan opposite
view, and argued irrfavor of a reduction of
duty on that article. Balph Troutmann, of
Hew York, argued In favor ot a specifie
dnty on lithographs, as th only just and
equitable system of protection to the $30,
000,000 capital locked up in lithographic
work and the 30,000 workmen employed:.
H. W. Combs, of New York, representing
the manu'acturers of sawed foreign hard
wood, did not want an increase of duty, but
a correction of the Treasury ruling of 1887,
which admitted sawed mahogany, cedar and
other hard woods as lumber. He wanted
tbe same duty imposed that was collected
prior to that ruling.
William Osborne, of New York, a manu
facturer of thin paper, such as tissues and
other fine wrapping papers, told of the de
pressing effect of tbe severe competition of
European paper makers. He wished the
law modified.
J! S. Moore, the Parsce merchant, who has
been a familiar figure af tariff hearings for
years past, then took the stand and read a
paper in support of his well-known views.
The leather and mica interests were next
heard, and then David Ciarkson, of New
xork, spoke briefly of the rapid growth of
the importation of sawed marble slabs from
Italy, and wanted the tariff so adjusted that
the domestic interest wonld be' protected.
Samnel J. Kerr, of Philadelphia, wished
the duty on salt maintained at the present
figure. ,
