In the rear of James Nnnghton'a un. delinking establishment, 35 Alott street, thcro w as a strnoge and almost unearthly sccno this morning, says a recent issue of tho New York Graphic. Chinamen, musicinns and Inquisitive persons of all creeds moved about the dimly lighted place nml wore kept in order by Hounds nun Millor and oilicors from the Sixth rrccinct. Tho wooden ceiling was hung in black and white and curiously shaped draperies of plain bla -k ornamented the wbIIs, somewhat relieving the monotony of the bare walls. Near tho further end of tho room on a black covered standard was a casket which contained tho em balmed remains of I.i Vu Poo, tho (ien ernl of the Black Flags.. The receptacle was of red cedar, covered with broad cloth, and the trimmings were of (olid silver, A p ato on tho top re J : .. : i.V y'o'do'o,' : Died October 19, 18S8, ; I Afted 58 years. : 1 We meet on the level, ; ; We part on the sqtinre. '. Tty the sido of tho casket was a long Stick covered with a yellow cloth bear ing cabnlistie characters. This was to terra as a ladder upon which the dead (icnernl was to mount to the skies. The lid of the co. tin was frequently opened to po mit friends to gaze upon the fea ture of tho deceased and a peculiar odor was emitted, rather pleasant than otherwise. The face of the dead Gcnornl was com posed, and the body was dressed in tho ordinary garments worn by him in life. A great, number of small oblong pieces of cardboard, bearing hieroglyphics, were scattered about the dead man's head and shoulders. These were playing cards placed there that the departed might pass away the time during the long journey pleasantly. At a distance of about two feet apart from each other and in front of the casket were three pine tables. On the first were dishes of candied fruits and 1 piles of oranges. The second . table groaned under the weight of a big pig; nicely roasted and intact On either side of the porker were pillows of crysanthemums and peonies, one of which bore the words: 'My cousin at rest" The third table was near the front of tho establishment. On it were several bowls of rice, in which were stuck burning joss sticks and sev eral ordinary wax candles. Chop lilftw, and small tea cups were laid on either side of the table. All that the lirst and second tables contained was placed on the grave of General Doo, that he may not want food should he awake before reaching the great unknown. About ten o'clock a number of Chinamen began rig ging themselves up in long gowns of muslin. Four of these men wore blue with white belts, and the four others had on surplices with black netting. These were the relatives of the dead man, and their strange costumes indi cated i heir deep sorrow. These chief mourners ranged themselves along the side of the room and began humming a queer tune. At intervals of twenty min utes a tall, raw-boned Chinaman stood in front of tho third table waving his arms and chanting in a low tone. Suddenly the band started the "Dead March from Saul," and continued playing it for ten minutes. meanwhile additional joss sticks were placed in tho rice bowls and the Chinamen bowed low and chanted a dirge. The band played "The Soldier's Peace" twice, and the mourn ers kept up the chanting, moving about spasmodically between the tables. The music attracted great crowds and llott street for some distance was lined with people. Almost every window in the neighborhood was open and heads were thrut from the apertures. When the music had ceased a Chinese band played a funeral march and the noise was al most deafening. This was continued with frequent interruptions to allow the chief mo.irncrs time to make their devo tions until one o'clock, when the parade started. From the undertaker's the pa rade passed through Chatham Square to Oliver street, to Henry street, to Grand street, thence crossing the ferry and winding up at Evergreen Cemetery. An immense crowd was waiting the . far away corner of the cemetery, where the Chiucso have their burying plot At 4:40 the cottin was taken from the hearse and carried through an avenue of Chinamen to the grave.' Then thecotlin was lowered. The banner of tho Lun (iee Tong was stuck at the head and two huge lunteras of the dead planted on poFes next to it Tom Lee threw the tlrst sod on the resounding rough box lid. While he was doing that, the other Chinamen stripped themselves of all their funeral trappings, sashes, blue and' red and black blouses, everything that they had put on that .had anything to do with tho funeral, and piled theui all up ;on the left of Li l'u Doo's grave. Then on the pile they put tho mandarin umbrella, tho eight em liletus of Tau, the poles and banners, and when the pile was big and broad and long they lighted it and stood to one side to pray in silence. It was Li Vu Doo's funeral pyre, and, though there have been Chinese funerals in Ever greens before, this was the biggest one ever burned there. The last thing thrown on it was his trunk. It was tilled with his clothing and all his personal prop erty. This was done so that everything he had in this world for daily use'might go out to him transformed in smoke for use in the next Another set of China men placed two ohickens, some bowls of rice and cups of tea on the grave. Then two bottles of wine were emptied on the mound, and all that the liviug could do for the dead was done. It wa late when 11 was over, and the sun hud gone down so far that the last thing it saw as it was speeding to make day for Li Yu Doo's native home was his burial in s foreign land. A Midshipman's Chest. Each chest contains all the worldly possessions of one officer, which, thus packed, are as inaccessible as they well can be. Immediately under the lid are three or four shallow trays. One of these is fitted as a washstand, with basin, mug, soap-dish, and receptacle for tooth brushes. Another till is a sort of loose box for everything; while ft third con tains a miscellaneous collection of neck ties, handkerchiefs, pipes, money, and a limited stock of jewelry. L'nder the'.e trsys, and packed more or less tidily, according to the tendencies of the marine servant who "looks after" each young gentleman, aro his uniforms, suits of p ain clothes, boots, linen, and articles of haLeidarhery. After this explanation,' toy readers will not find it difficult tq understand why the expression "every thing on top, and nothing at hand, like midshipman's chest," is commonly applied to any chaotic disarrangement on board ship.

Keep your tools handy and in good condition. This applies everywhere, and in every plnco, from the smallest shop to the greatest mechanical establishment in the world. Every tool should have its exact place, and should be always kept there when not in use. Having a chest or any receptacle with a lot of tools thrown into it promiscuously, is just as bad as putting the notes in an organ without rcpard to their proper place. If a man wants a wrench, chisel or hammer, it's somewhere in the box or chest, or somewhere else, and the search begins. Sometimes it is found perhaps sharp, perhaps dull, maybe broken; and by the time it is found he ha spent timo enough to pay for several tools of the kind wanted. The habit of throwing every tool down, anyhow, in every way, or any place, is one of the most detetablo habits a man can pos sibly get into. It i --only a matter of habit to correct this. JIako an inflexible rule of your life to "have a plnco for everything and everything in its place." Way take u moment more to lay a tool up carefully after fisinsr, but the time is more than equalized when vou want to, use it again, and so it is time saved. Habits, cither good or bad, go a long ways in their innuence on men's lives. and it is far bettor to establish and firmly maintain a good habit, even though tha habit has no special bearing on the; moral character, yet all habits have their influence. A Satisfactory Femeo. I have found my fence of Smooth wire and board effective, and chcape( than anvoiherl have ever built, savs a farmer in the Kcw York Tri uiu. In a small pasture ad 'oining the barn (where we turn out horses and have kent one or more cows1 night and day) stock) have several times broken down or jumped over the board fence on twoi sides, but have not in the three years1 broken through or over the wire. Wej use plain No. il wire, costing me 3 ecnts a pound, and it weighs about one pound to the rod. I used in this fence but three wires and one strip of board, three' inches wide, hut would use four wires if building another. I have another lot fenced with lira wises and the strin of board, which-turns calves and sheep. fence boards now cost mo 1 cent a toot, running measure, for 0-inch wide, or $20 per thonsand feet, so tou see that five wires cost less than one board. This is not all tho saving, however, for oue post every thirty-two feet is all that is needcdJor a wire fence, while a rood board fence requires a post every eichV feet Then the cost of building the board fence is four times that of build ing wiAwire. lth the end posts well braced tucre is very little trouble in keepinir the wires of the right tension. After tho wires are stretched and stapled to the costs, we drive a stake in the centre, between the posts and staple the wires to it We then setup strips of board, three inches wide aud four feet and a half longjeverV four fret (three of these strips filling eaTn space between a stake and a post), and staple the wires to those uprights, and the i our e-lnch board is nailed to these with a single clinch-nail at each. A wire fonce is never tale without this board, as stock, particularly horses. when excited and running will not see it, and will run into it, but with the uprights only four feet apart and the oso narrow board there is no danger of vms. n is a gooa pian to put a small flat stone or piece of board under tho end of each upright. The cost of the material for tins fence is about Ko cents calJMn" the posts at 25 cents each, stakes i) cents, uprights 1 cent and wire staples and nails at cost (in level land, where a long stretch could be had. I think 10 cents. a rod would certainly cover the cost of building. I shall put up this fence quite extensively in future. Feed the Straw. row thnttnreshincr is firenerallv over. ....... the question naturally arises, What shall be done with the straw? In the great grain growing regions, but little thought is given to the matter, ltistsually burned to get it out of the war. If stacked it is done so loosely that it poorly sheds the rain, and U soou valueless, except for manure. Those who do ire to convert it into manure for immediate use draw it into the barnyard to be trampled down by the stock. Straw is too valuable to use in this way. It is a desirable fodder, and should be housed or well stacked and fed to stock during the winter, if yours is poorly stacked, fix it up and cover with long slough grass, in order that a good share of it may be preserved. It has been proven that straw and less than a bushel of barley or its , equivalent iu other grain, will winter a sheep well. Stiaw and four quarts of oats a day will winter an ordinary horse that is not at work. It takes but little figuring to prove that to the ordinary farmer it is cheaper to feed st'aw and a small amount of grain, than to winter his stock upon "good hay" alone. With all the care taken, unless housed, there will be more or less waste that the stock will not eat. This, with dry muck, leaves, sawdust, and other refuse about the farm, stock yard and barn, willjive bedding for the stock. A great many fanners do not figure on anything better than "plenty W good hay" to winter thi-ir dry cows, an" young stock, both cattle and horses, if thesj would feed a little less of tho good hay and some grain, they would find it cheaper aud their stouK would do as well. It makes but little difference how we get the combination that makes a good ration, so long as the result is reached ; two and five make seven as well as one and six. Even tho.se who keep their straw for the manure or plant food there is in it, do not expect to get the good of it for two or three years not uutil the pile "rots down." If they have several piles, and good sitd ones, more land is thus occupied that can be afforded upon a well regulated larm. When fed to stock, the plant food contained in straw is at once available. All the grains make good manure, yet no one would be so foolish as to throw them into the barn-yard for that purpose. lie as wise with the straw of the grain. Get what nourishment there is ia it for your stock first feed your farm with what is left. The whole question in regard to what to do with blraw can bj answered in four words feed it to stock. We are not ad vocating a straw diet alone. We would not advise auy to feud it aloe to milch cows und expect any milk, or at least not much, and lus cream, yet we do not think a small ration of nice, bright oat Straw will hurt milch cows that are high grain fed. We know they relish it. feed all your coarse fodder giving grain or supplemental foods enough to make a complete ration. Sell from, the farm only that that takes the least from iu fertility, and soli that after you have used the "waste" of the fwin a well as the grain, in producing it. Feed the straw.

Charles F. uoss to a InrgB audience at Moody's Chicago Avenue Church. "The word of Hod," said he, "speaks in utter reprobation of drunkenness. The condemnation of the word of God is s)ieciuUy directed toward the sa'oon. The saloon, as we now understand it. is the gene sis of modern evil. Jf the word of tiod cwttW' clemns drunkenness it must suroly condemn the place where drunkenness is manufac tured.

There isu't a system of mora) or political govern ment but the saloon.kee(or has a hand iu the making of its laws. They are doing more to corrupt the civil government of the country of America than all the rest of this country's corruptive practices put together. Socially the saloon also plays un important r or t. If it corrupts politics what must be its eifeets uion society, with its impure pictures adorn ing its walls, its conversation so vi o, de graded, and low that a man cannot fretiuent such a place without all ot bis true and noble ideas being dragged and tramp el iu the mire. "Its influence on the home is nhsolut 'ly destructive from tho lirst hour a man erossts the threshold of oue of these hell-holes of Iniquity. Given up to impure conversation, gathered into the arms of convival comptu ions, what cares he for the wife or children starving at home, with the winterwiuds creeping in under the threshoUHind poverty staring in at the window! Ow?" individual life of man the saloon is a wtanu factory of drunkards. It taken the raw material from our homes and converts it into a besotted, drunken wretch. It takes from the center of our homes the bright, beautiful, happy boy; that face Which a mother has armled upon and has loved. who litw have been kissed by a loving mother or fond sister. All the strength and beauty of that manhood is drann into these hellisn machines and trans formed into a poor, low. miserable drunkard.
