Curious Chinese Customs.
Of all the quaint Industries which
furnish a livelihood for a corps of
workers there Is none more worthy of
comment than the aarred furnace of
Mon-War, erected and supported by
the religious fervo and reverential
sentiment with which the Chinese re
gard tholr letters and papers. In every
Chinatown, however small, a building;
dedicated to Confucius can be found.
and to every almoncl-eyet? celestial that
building Is sacred. Barred from the
Inscription over the door to the blue
smoke that curls up and mingles with
the fog, for It is the oven wherein are
Incinerated all the letters, newspapers
and old books of the Chinese quarter.
Every scrap of paper upon which a
Chinese character lias been written or
printed, when Its purpose In the bus
iness or social work has been accom
plished, is burned in a perfumed
blaze, and the ashes are disposed of
with reverential care. That they may
not become contaminated with the
touch of human fingers, they are, with
acred shovels, scooped into sacks and
are carried out to sea, where the tide
runs swift, and there they are given
into the care of old Neptune, who re
spects equally the customs of all na
tions. A German lawyer has left $50,000 for
the foundation of a school of cookery.
FUany women and doctors do
net recognize the real symptoms
of derangement of the female
organs until too late.

The grains are deficient In lime snd
mineral matter, whllo clover Is rich In
those materials. Corn contains 10 per
cent of water and clover hay 15 per
cent Of the dry matter corn hns but
1 1-2 percent of ash (time magnesia,
potash, soda, etc.). while clover has
over 6 percent. Clover hay contains 12
percent of protein and corn 10 1-2. Corn
Is rich In r.tnrch and fat, however, con
taining twice as much as clover. Clover
hay has more crude fibre than the
grain, hence is less valuable In that
direction. While many farmers have
always made clover hay a specialty In
feeding adults, yet It Is more valuable
for young stock than may be supposed.
If cut up very fine, and then scalded, It
makes one of the best rations In win
ter for poultry and will promote lay
ing. For ducks and geese It cannot be
excelled. If cut very fine and mixed
with cooked turnips and carrots, clover
hay will be relished by young pigs,
and It will promote rapid growth. In
some sections clover hay is ground into
what is termed "clover meal," and It Is
then sold In bags. Cornmeal Is too fat
tening for certain animals, but in win
ter It may be used more freely, being
an excellent ration when used in con
nection with clover.
Preparing Celery for Market.
When placing stock In storage, con
sider the amount of your trade, so as
to have the celery ready at the proper
time. You must have a sufficient
control of the temperature of the stor
age pit to be able to keep certain parts
of It warmer than' others, so as to con
trol the ripening.
The dressing should be done in the
pit to avoid breakage In handling and
saving moving the waste, at a time
when it Is neither cheap nor conven
ient to do so. Remove all yellow or
decayed stalks, then cut the root to a
point, being careful not to tut too high.
This takes live or six strokes with a 6
Inch butcher knife. Hold the plant with
the root from you and cut with a mo
tion aa If you were whittling shavings.
The washing room should be In a
warm basement or room where water
Is convenient and a boiler or caldron
at hand to warm water. A square cor
nered tub Is most convenient. Use plen
ty of water and have It quite warm, 90
to 100 degrees. This gives a gloss to the
celery not obtainable with cold water.
Dump a box of celery into the tub with
the butts toward you; then with a com
mon soft scrubbing brush give each
head two or three downward strokes
with the brush. This takes all the dirt
out of the creases and gives It a bright
shiny appearance.
The tier stands at the table and ties
it up four bunches to the dozen, using
common white wrapping twine for the
purpose, and running it twice around
each bunch. All decayed leaves or tips
should .be carefully clipped off. It 1b
now ready to pack for shipment or
home delivery. If you have a large
amount of celery. It Is sometimes well
to grade it, making a fancy of the larg
est, and a standard grade of the re
mainder. Do not try to bring your trade
to the size of your packages to suit the
trade. We have found that a case hold
ing about one bushel Is as large as it
is profitable to use. This will hold
about ten dozen good sized celery,

High prices for beef have greatly
Increased the Interest in cattle raising
throughout the Eastern States. The ad
dress of J. B. Sanborn at North Adams,
Mass., before the state board of agri-
culture, was on "Beef Production in
New England," and was listened to
with attention by a large audience of
farmers. Said Professor Sanborn:
"Conditions permanent In character
have brought the steer again Into the
range of profitable production In New
England. The profitable steer here
must be the product of high art He
must have the beet form, as this brings
more than the dairy form, with its
maximum of cheap parts. He Is neces
sarily a hothouse product growing and
fattening continuously from birth to
death. Maintenance Is eleven pounds a
day on his average weight, and should
not be lost by a single day's failure of
rapid growth. Nor can a year's time be
necessarily added, for It means two
tons of fodder to run the machine this
time a fatal amount He must go to
the shambles at the lowest weight that
will command the highest value, as it
will require three times the food to
make a pound of growth on maturing
steer that is called for the first four
hundred pounds' growth. It la shown
that twice the growth a day Is made
the first year that occurs the fourth
year, so mat a uoudis toss occurs i
one making an unnecessarily heavy
steer.
'Palatable foods In abundance or
great skill In feeding are required, as
free consumption Is the basis of rapid
growth. Old bushy pastures cannot be ,
the basis of cheap hoef, for they afford
neither, abundant nor palatable foods.
These pastures must he rid of weeds
and bttHbes and fed. Protein foods In
ettner the coarso foods fed or In the
grnlns or meals must constitute a part
of the ration, though not to the extent
BdvociVed by students of Uermnn feed
ing tables. It requires for a pound of
butter fat under high feeding some
twenty-five pounds or more of food.
This food will make over two pounds of
steer, probably two and one-half
pounds, rs I have made a pound of
prowth on a steer of average weight on
nine pounds of dry matter. If the meat
Is the product of a good breeder and
feeder It will net about the same as
butter, labor considered."
Reforms In Dairying.
There Is a growing tendency to make
reforms in the dairies, and there Is no
department on the farm which de
mands more consideration than the
present methods of handling both
cows and tholr milk. It Is claimed that
there Is more filth and less care in
dairying than In almost any other oc
cupation. The milk Is to be "sold"
and "the dealer Is not particular,' while
the consumer Is In blissful Ignorance
of any of the conditions affecting the
preparation of milk. Milk passes
through so many hands from the cow
to the consumer as to render the mat
ter of obtaining pure and clean milk
a difficult one. The dairyman consoles
himself with the fact that he strained
tho milk before selling It, but the
strainer does not remove soluble filth.
A pinch of salt or sugar In milk Is not
arrested by the strainer, nor Is any
other substance that Is dissolved by
the milk during the act of milking.
Those who handle cows know that it
Is not unusual for a cow to get down
on 'the floor of her stall to rest, without
regard to whether the floor is covered
with manure or urine, and her udder
and teats may have rested during the
night on a heap of fresh manure. The
cow Is not as clean as the hog as far
as selecting a suitable place for resting
Is concerned, and where the dairyman
himself is careless and does not keep
the stalls clean, as well as brush and
even wash the cows, it is almost im
possible to have clean milk. It is grati
fying to notice, however, that some
dnlrymen wash the udders and teats
of the cows at every milking, wiping
with clean towels, avoiding every
chance of filth entering the milk, but
such dairymen get good prices, which
are secured by their reputations for
skillful management of their cows and
their products.
The ordinary dairyman Injures his
business and loses profit by purchas
ing fresh cows from other parties.
Some of them will sell a good cow as
soon as she becomes dry and buy one
in her place that Is fresh, but which
mny be much inferior to the one sold.
Then there is the liability of bringing
disease, as that great scourge of the
dairyman abortion among cows Is
contagious, being carried from one
herd to another through the practice
of selling the dry cows and buying oth
ers that may do barm and which may
not be worth the room they occupy.
Then, again, the calves are taken from
the cows when two or three days old,
and the milk from their dams is added
to that taken from the other cows of
the herd, although such milk is ropy
and usually unfit for use, being inju
rious to children who are fed upon it.
The milk from fresh cows should go to
the calf until it Is at least a month
old, but as the average dairyman milks
his cows for the purpose of selling
their produce he will not willingly sac
rifice to the calf an article that he can
put on the market. The result is that
the milk sold in the cities Is of variable
quality, much of it is unclean, and
some, of It unfit for human use. There
is room for Improvement, and there are
hundreds of consumers ready and will
ing to pay the dairyman for his extra
care if he will provide them with milk
of the best quality. It may take time to
build up such a trade, but any dairy
man will make it a point to seek such
customers and assure them that he
may be depended 'upon will find that
he cannot easily supply the demand.
The best milk Is from good and
wholesome food. At this season of the
year pasturage cannot be provided or
the cows given an opportunity of se
lection of good In the Acids, but selec
tion by the dairyman of the foods giv
en at the barn Is a matter which should
not be overlooked. Each cow In a herd
Is an individual, and must be treated
accordingly. If she rejects foods that
are readily acceptable by the others
she should be allowed something which
to her is more palatable, and a variety
of food Is always better than the use of
a single kind, as the health of the ani
mals can only be promoted by supply
ing them so aa to satisfy their wants.
When a cow Is sick or "off her feed"
the milk Is then unfit for use and
should be allowed to eat ail that she re
quires, as such cows are usually large
producers and demand more food than
inferior animals. Every dairyman
should breed his cows and make It a
point never to buy a fresh one. If his
herd is healthy and free from disease
he can then keep his animals in good
condition with less difficulty, while the
yield of milk from each cow will be
more than doubled in a few years by
Judicious breeding and selection. The
buying of fresh cows by dairymen has
been the greatest curse that has ever
been encountered by them, as It is the
foundation of all diseases and losses
among the herd a Philadelphia Reo

lilaapp.arlns; Water.
Dovil's Lake In North Dakota, the
largest body of water in the state, cov.
era about 8G0 square miles. It is a
glacial lake, and once had an outlet to
the south into the Cheyenne river,
through a channel which is now well
marked and empty. Observations for
the last nineteen years show an almost
uninterrupted sinking of the water
level. Groves of trees, which once
stood at the beach, are now separated
from It by broad strips of land, and
the shallow parts of the lake notably
the long arms and bays, have been left
quite dry.

TURRETS FOR COAST DfcFENSE.
Plant for Their Construction Owns Its
Being to the Spanish War.
The United States will shortly pos
sess a plant capable of turning out for
coast fortifications, and complete In
every detail, the world-famed Omson
turret. Not only is the plant assured,
but work has actually commenced on
the erection of the necessary buildings,
and to such an extent have the plans
progressed thnt the casting of the
plates for the intitlnl turret could. If
required, be commenced In six months
hence. The raison d'etre of the new
Industry Is prlnmrlly the recommenda
tion of the Endlcott Hoard of Ordin
ance and Fortifications, calling for em
placements of 22 turrets at coaat points
of the United Stntes; but In the main
the new plsnt owes Its being to, tho
conditions which confronted this coun
try on the breaking out of the war with
Spain In 18H8. and to existing condi
tions which make Imperative the adop
tion of a system Impregnable to gun
attack. Tho new organization Is
called the Unison Iron Works, and will
carry on tho manufacture of all de
scriptions of chilled Iron work and
heavy eastings requiring special
strength and reflstenco for naval and
marine work. Tho Interests associat
ed with tho new company Include the
largest manufacturers of chilled Iron
In America, and the works will bo
equipped with everything requisite for
the manufacture of the largest rulllod
castings, to which the particular plant
for finishing Unison turrets can be
quickly added. The site for the new
works Is on the banks of the Delaware
at the little town of Eddystonc, and
distant only a few miles from the city
of Chester, Pa This site was selected
largely because of Its tide-water facili
ties, and with special reference to the
needs which must arise Incident to the

Ownership of 8treet Trees.
Should street trees be owned and
controlled by tho city or by the abut
ting property owners? The weight of
opinion among those entitled to speak
with some authority on the nuestlon
Is that municipal ownership of street
trees Is necessary for the best results,
and Is besides the natural condition of
things. Washington City Is a famil
iar example of a systematic and suc
cessful development of street shade
trees on all the thoroughfares where
trees are desirable. Street trees
through private ownership are neces
sarily a thing of shreds and patches
and subject to the caprice of unin
structed owners and the barbarous
butchery of tramp primers. Neverthe
less, there are tinder private ownership
some good results In wayside treee here
and there, while public ownership Is
not always a success. City ownership
and control of trees Is the best If that
control Is enlightened and sympathetic.
The Population of China.
Some doubt has been thrown by rec
ent travelers upon the correctness of
the accepted notion that China Is a
land of teeming population. It has
been asserted that the human hives
along the seaboard and the great rivers
of China ought not to be taken as basis
for estimates; that In those parts of
the empire, which lie off the main
routes of traffic (the natural and ar
tificial watercourses) the population of
China Is comparatively thin. A cen
suse recently taken by the Pekin gov
ernment for the purpose of assesss
Ing taxes to meet the Indemnity pay
ments seems, however, to prove the ac
curacy of the older estimates. The
census shows that the 18 provinces of
China proper contain 407,737,305 Inhab
itants; that Manchuria has 8.600.000,
and Mongolia, Thibet and Chinese
Turkestan a little over 10,000,000. The
total poulatlon of the empire is 426,
447,325, according to this enumeration.
The absolute reliability of Asiatic sta
tistics Is questioned; nevertheless, the
agreement of the results of the census
with the accepted estimates Is so close
as to Invite confidence. The statement
that the Chinese Empire contains one
third of the human race will hereafter
be regarded more than ever as an ap
proximate truth.
Sweden has 324 co-operative socle

BEAUTY AND PURITY
Ancient and Modern Ideas on tho Subject.
Time and Disease the Effacing Agent3
of Beauty. What Has Science Dono
to Restore the Lily and the Rose?.
Socrates railed beanty a short-lived
tyranny. Data a prlvlli ge of nature,
Theocritus a delightful prejudice,
Theophraain a silent cheat, Carneade
a solitary kingdom. Homer a glorious
gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letter of recom
mendation In the .world, and yet none
of these distinguished authorities has
left ua even a hint of how beauty Is to
be perpetuated, or the ravages of sge
snd disease defied. Time soon blends
the Illy and the rose Into the pallor of
sge, disease dots the fair face with
etitaneoua disfigurations and crimson
the Koman nose with unsightly flushes,
moth. If not mat, corrupts the glory
of eyes, teeth, and Hps yet beautiful by
defacing the complexion, and Alls the
sensitive soul with agony unspeakable.
If such be the unhappy condition of
one aflllcted with (light skin blemishes,
what must lie the feelings of those In
whom torturing humors have for
years run riot, covering the skin with
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to
becomo a p.trt of the system nntll
death? It Is vain to attempt to por
tray such suffering. Death In many
cases might he considered a blessing.
The blood and fluids seem to be im
pregnated with a fiery element which,
when discharged through the pores
upon the surface of the body. Inflames
and burns until, Id his efforts for relief,
the patient tears the akin with his
nails, and not until the blood flows
does sufTlclent relief come to cause him
to desist.
Thus do complexlonal defects merge
Into torturing disease, and piqued van
ity give place to real suffering. A
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
to the all-devouring lupus, a patch of
tetter on the palm of the hand or on
the limbs suddenly envelops the body
In Its fiery embrace, a bruise on the leg
expands Into a gnawing nicer, which
reaches out Its fang to the sufferer's
heart In every paroxysm of pain, a
Small kernel In the neck multiplies Into
a dozen, which eat away the vitality,
great pearl-like scales grow from little
rash-like Inflammations In such abun
dance as to pass credulity i and so on
may we depict the sufferings to which
poor human nature Is subject, sll of
which Involve great mental distress
because of personal disfiguration.
If there were not another external
disease known, eczema alone would be
sufTlclent Infliction on mankind. It
pervades sll classes, snd descend Im
partially through generations. While
some sre constantly enveloped In It,
others nave It confined to small
patches In the ears, on the scalp, on
the breast, on the palms of the hands,
on the limb, etc., but everywhere Its
distinctive feature Is a small watery
blister, which diacharges an acrid
fluid, causing heat. Inflammation, and
Intense Itching. King-worm, tetter,
seal led head, dandruff, belong to this
scaly and Itcblug order of disease.
Psoriasis, our modern leprosy, with
Its mother-of-pearl scale, situated on
a reddened base, which bleeds upon
the removal of the scale, is to be
dreaded and avoided, a of old. Im
petigo, barber'a tich, erysipelas, and a
score of minor disorder make np In

to allay Itching, Irritation, and Inflam
mation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly,
take Cutlcura Resolvent, to cool snd
cleanse the blood. This treatment af
ford Instant relief, permits rest and
sleep In the severest forms of eczema
and other Itching, burning, and araly
humors, and points to s speedy, perma
nent, and economical cure of torturing,
disfiguring humors, eczemas, rashes,
and Inflammations, from Infancy to
age, when all other remedies snd the
best physicians fall. The remedies con
stituting the Cutlcura system will repay
an Individual scrutiny of their remark
able properties.
Cuilcnra noap contains In a modified
form the medicinal properties of Cntl
enra Ointment, the great skin cure and
purest and sweetest of emollients, com
bined with the most delicate snd re
freshing of flower odors. It purifies
snd Invigorates the pores of the skin,
and Imparts activity to the oil glands
snd tubes, thus furnishing an outlet
for unwholesome matter, which If re
tained would cause pimples, black
heads, rashes, oily, mothy skin, ana
other complexlonal disfigurations, as
well aa scalp affections and Irritations,
falling hair, and baby rashes. Its gen
tle and continuous action on thenatural
lubricators of the skin keeps the latter
transparent, soft, flexible, and healthy.
Hence Its constant nse, assisted by an
occasional nse of Cutlcura Ointment,
realizes the fairest complexion, the
softest, whitest hands, and the most
lnxurlant, glossy hair within the do
main or the most advanced scientific
knowledge to supply.
Cuticora Ointment Is the most suc
cessful external cnratlve for torturing,
disfiguring humors of the skin snd
scalp. Including loss of hair, In proof
of which s single anointing with It,
preceded by a hot bath with Culicura
Soap, and followed In the severer cases
by a full dose of Cuticura Resolvent, Is
sufficient to afford Immediate relief In
the most distressing forms of Itching,
burning, and scaly humors, permit rest
and elf ep, and point to a speedy core
when sll other remedies fall. It I espe
cially so In the treatment of infants
aud children, cleansing, soothing, and
healing the most distressing of Infan
tile humors, snd preserving, purifying,
and beautifying the skin, scalp, and
balr. - i
Cutlcnra Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying
the slnrplo wants of the toilet of all
ages, In caring for the skin, scalp,
hair, and hand far more effectually,
agreeably, and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients,1
while free from every ingredient ef a
doubtful or dangerous character. Its
One Night Treatment of the Hands,",
or " Single Treatment of the Hair," or
nse after athletics, cycling, golf, ten
nis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each
In connection with the nse of Cntlcura
Soap, is sufficient evidence of this.
Of all remedies for the purification
of the blood and circulating fluid, none
approochea in specific medical action
Cutlcnra Resolvent. It neutralizes and
resolves away (hence lta name) scrofu
lous, Inherited, and other humors In
the blood, which give rise to swellings
of the glands, pains in the bones, and
torturing, disfiguring eruptions of the
skin snd scalp, with loaa of balr.
Cutlcura Resolvent extends Its puri
fying Influence by mesns of the pores
to the surface of the skin, allaying
irritation, Inflammation, itching, and
burning, and soothing and healing.
Hence Its success In the treatment of
distressing humors of the akin, scslp,
aud blood, with loss of hair, which fail
to be permanently cared by external
remcdlea alone.
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered Cntlcura remedies is their
world-wide sale, due to the personal
recommendation of those who have
used them. It Is difficult to realize the
mighty growth of the business done
nnder this name. From a small begin
ning in the simplest form, against prej
udice and opposition, against mooted
host, countless rivals, and trade In
difference, Cutlcnra remedies have be
come the greatest curative of their
time, and. In fact, of all time, for no
where lit the history of medicine Is
to be fouad another approaching them
In popularity and aale. In every clime
snd with every people they have met
with the same reception. The coo floe
of the earth are the only limits to their
growth. Tbey have conquered the
world. -
