"The Queerest of Places."
Lien Sang, of Hong Kong, (lined at a
Philadelphia hotel recently. To a Times
reporter he said through an interpreter
that America is a very funny country,
because here thoy do things exactly oppo
site to the best form in civilized China.
We shake hands with each other; the
Chinaman shakes hands with himself.
We uncover the head as a murk of respect;
the Chinese gallants not only keep their
hats on, hut when wishing to be very
polite remove their shoes. We shave out
faces; they their heads and eyebrows.
We cut our finger-nails; they consider it
aristocratic to let them grow from five
inches to a foot in length. The China
man whitens his shoes, buries his dead
on the surface of the earth, and demands
that his wine be scalding hot when
served. With us black clothing is a sign
of mourning; in China white garments
indicate the loss of friends. In the Cel
estial Empire, not children, but old men
Hy kites, walk on stilts, play marbles,
shoot firecrackers, and, in doing this, use
their feet as much as possible instead of
their hands, In China the men are mil
liners, "washerwomen," and dressmakers.
We live, cook, and cat usually on the first
floor, sleeping up stairs; but the Chinaman
reverses this order. In dating letters wc
write the year last; they place it first.
In speaking of the compass they always
say it points south. We pay our doctors
w hen wc arc ill; they pay us long as they
remain well; hut as soon as they get sick
the pay stops. Here men kill their ene
mies. A Chinaman gets revenge by kill
ing himself. They launch ships sideways,
ring bells from the outside, and turn
screws from the right to left.
Mr. Sang mournfully observed: "Amer
ica may be a great couutry, but it is
truly the queerest of places."
Expensive Orchids,
The price of an orchid depends upon
the size, quality and healthful condition
of the plant and its rarity. The size of
the plant is determined more by the
number of healthful growing shoots it is
bearing than by the number of stems or
old psuedo bulbs which it carries; and
very rare orchids arc sold at so much a
"lead," or shoot. For instance, Ijelia
callwtoglossa , a rare Veitchian hybrid, is
worth SSOO a lead; Lalia flammea, an
other hybrid, is also worth about SSOO a
lead, and Cypripedium Hyeanum is
worth about $075 a lead. A thousand
dollars is the highest price that has been
paid for an orchid plant in this country,
so far as wc have heard, Hicbrceht and
Wadlcy, of New Rochelle, bought Vanda
Sanderiana at the auction sale of the
late Mrs. Morgan's orchids for SOOO, and
sold it to t lie late Mr. Osborne, of Mania
roncck, for SI,OOO. Mr. F. L. Ames, of
Boston, bought the white-flowered Catt
leya Warecwitzii from Sicbreclit & Wad
ley for SI,OOO, and considered it a cheap
plant even at that price, for it is a splen
did orchid and a fine specimen, mid the
only plant of the kind known to exist.
Such unique plants arc always high
priced.
Unique plants are of two kinds, name
ly, those imported from their native
wilds, as was the above white cattleya
and garden hybrids. In the case of an
imported wild plant there is always a
probability that another of the same kind
maybe discovered and introduced; but
as regards a garden hybrid, of which
ouly one plant has ever been raised, there
is no fear of a duplicate occurring any
where else.—[New York Sun.
An Operator's Wail.
" The profession isn't what it used to
be," said an old telegraph operator rather
mournfully the other day. "It's a busi
ness now. It used to be a profession. I
can remember when a telegraph operator
was the king bee in the industrial hive.
He was a man who had mastered a mys
tery. The lightning was his slave and
ipace was nothing to him. He annihila
ted the latter with a crook of his finger.
He went into the best society. He had
free admission into the theatres. He
amounted to something and he could rise
in the world. Now lie's nobody. Any
body can learn to click the keys and take
the sounds. The old operator sees a lot
of freight car operators doing work that
was practically unknown ten years ago
in telegraphy. Why, I've borrowed
money from operators I never saw in tho
good old days and played checkers with
them, and got to know them so well that
I would almost be able to describe their
personal appearance. There are no oper
ators of the old school any more. They
aro superseded hy men who know nothing
but the alphabet and can take what is
sent them. They have none of the genius
of telegraphy. They regard tele; ruphy
as they would blncksmithing or liod
carrying. The modern telegraph opera
tor makes me tired when I contrast him
with the men of mind who presided at
the keys when 1 was one of the boys."—

Food and Consumption.
Friend, you and I have dear onea we
know must leave lis soon by means of
that devastating American plague,
consumption! Let us reason together.
At the tables of how many farmers
and mechanics, I wonder, is the buck
wheat breakfast gone into disgrace?
Wo all readily can recall the time
when countless multitudes of families
broke their fast of twelve hours, and
faced the work of a blustering winter's
day, with nothing but greasy buck
wheat cakes and molasses. They
might almost as well have eaten saw
dust. And what had they for dinner?
Bait pork and potatoes. And for sup
per? Potatoes and salt pork for a
change—sometimes cold, and made
palatable with vinegar! Oh, I forgot
the pie—the everlasting pie, with its
sugary center and its leathery crust—
the one tit illation of the pnlate that
made life tolerable. Good bread and
butter or milk, abundance of fruit,
beef, mutton, and nutritions puddings
—all these things are within the
reach of people who have left
the East, and at this time these
sturdy Westerners are noted for being
the most progressive farmers in tlie
world; but they have cost something,
and have not really been deemed
necessary. The people have not real
ized that what they regarded as
luxuries were necessaries, and that the
food upon which they have depended
for protection from a more rigorous
climate, and for the repair of the
wastes of labor, has been altogether
inadequate, and is leaving them with
blood impoverished and lungs tuber
culated. After taking into account all
hereditary influences, upon which doc
tors place great stress in treating of
tlie cause of phthisis, insufficient nour
ishment is alike responsible.
In most instances the deposit of tu
bercle and tho inflammation to which
it naturally gives rise is directly trace
able to poor food. There aie many
men who by a chauge of living render
tho tubercles already deposited in their
lungs harmless, vitality becomes so
high in its power that it dominates
these evil influences, and they live out
a tolerably long life with enemies in
their lungs that are rendered powerless
by the strength of the fluid that tights
them. I have seen consumption cured
again and again by tho simple process
of building up the forces of vitality
through passive exercise in the open
air and the supply of an abundance of
nutritious food, and have not the
least doubt that it can he prevented in
most instances by the same means.
No human being can long endure tho
draft made upon it by a cold climate
and by constant labor, unless it is well
fed, well clothed, and well housed.
Somewhere deterioration will show
itself, and in all countries whore peo
ple are poorly fed consumption deci
mates the populace. There should
he by this time some improvements in
the West and North in consequence of
the increased intelligence of the peo
ple, but so long as so many of them
are unsettled, moving and moving,
leaving good places vacant to be taken
by ignorant, often filthy, foreign popu
lation, it is not likely that statistics
will show much less tuberculosis for
years to come.
When we are sick we hire a physician
who can live only bv people being sick.
If we could hire doctors to keep us well,
if a code of ethics could he adopted that
they would only be paid for preventing
disease, and could be permitted to pro
scribe for each family its way of living,
there would be but little difficulty in
routing from its stronghold that most
fatal and persistent enemy of human
life which we call consumption, but
which is not, it being just tlie oppo
site. Consumptives do not consume.
Demonstrations in chemistry have
shown that man, the being that per
forms these marvelous things, is formed
largely of condensed air, or solidified
and liquefied gases; that he lives on
condensed as well as uncondeused air,
and, by means of the same agent,
moves the heaviest weights with the
velocity of tlie winds. The strangest
part of tho matter is, however, that
thousands of these human beings com
posed of condensed air and going about
oil two legs, on account of tho
production and supply of those forms
of condensed air which they require
for food and clothing, or on account of
their honor and power, destroy each
other in pitched battles by means of
condensed air; and, further, that many
of the peculiar powers of the bodiless,
headless, conscious, thinking and sen
sitive beings, housed in this building of
flesh, are the result simply of its in
ternal structure, and the arrangement
of its particles or atoms; while chemis
try supplies the clearest proofs that,
so far as concerns this, the ultimate
and most minute composition and
structure, which is beyond the reach of
the intellects of even this marvelous
age, man is, to all appearance, identi
cal with the ox, or even the lowest
forms of animal creation.
Eye..
By far the most remarkable arrange
ment regarding the eyes of animals is
observable in the vision of tlie insect
races. In this instance the eye is fixed
to the head, whether because another
provision is better is of uo consequence;
but such is the fact, and see how na
ture has compensated the lack of mov
ing processes. In the common fly,
which offers a ready example, are seen
two small, round projections at the
side of the head. These little, dull
protuberances are not, as many sup
pose, single eyes. Each projection
contains many thousands of eyes.
These are placed in rows, each one of
which is capable of transmitting an
impression of outward objects, and by
this means the fly can see as well he
hind as before, as well down as up, and
is therefore put on its guard against
attack constantly. A German natur
alist counted 6,2<i<> eyes in a silk-worm.
Tlie writer of this article counted, by
means of tho micrometer, 14,000 eyes
in a drone fly, and, by the same method,
27,000 eyes in a dragon fly. It has
been proven by actual experiment,
with the help of good microcopes, that
each one of these eyes is capable of
receiving an independent and distinct
impression.
A I.iglit Without Matches.
To obtain a light instantly without
the use of matches, and without the
danger of setting things on fire, is an
easy matter. Take an oblong vial of
the clearest of glass, put into It a piece
of phosphorus about the size of a pea;
upon this pour some pure olive oil
heated to the boiling point, the bottle
to be filled about one-third full; then
cork tightly. To use the light, re
move the cork, allow the air to
enter, and then recork. The whole
empty space in the bottle will
theu become luminous, and the light
obtained will be a good one. As
soon as the light becomes dim, its power
can be increased by opening the bottle
and allowing a fresh supply of air to
enter. In very cold weather it is some
times necessary to heat the vial be
tween the hands to increase the fluidity
of the oil, and one bottle will last all
winter-. This ingenious contrivance
may be carried in the pocket, and is
used by the watchmen of Paris in all
magazines where explosive or inflam
mable materials are stored.
Money in It*
Some time ago three persons made
an extensive tour of the country,
selling a polishing material, which
they peddled from house to house.
After an absence of seven months from
home, they returned rich, and made it
all by selling the following:
Oil vitriol 1 ounce
Sweet oil gill
Rotten stone i gili
Rainwater lu, pints
This will be thoroughly mixed and
well shaken before using, put in a
little perfuming to make it smell good,
stick on a French label that nobody
can read, boom it in the papers as a
newly discovered polish, made by some
prehistoric tribe of Indians, and a
bushel of money can be made at selling
it. In any event, it is a very fine
polish. Apply with a soft rag. If the
people don't react the papers too much,
many a country clerk can make his
board and pin money putting it up and
selling it.
Gooil Milk.
There aro many differences of opin
ion regarding what constitutes good
milk. At creameries they use the
lactometer, etc., as a dictator, when it
should be used only as a guide, as the
chemist can prepare counterfeit milk,
resembling tlie original in appearance
only that the lactometer will pass as
good, even above the average, but
chemical analysis will detect at once,
hence is the only infalliblo criterion of
a pure article. The results of two hun
dred samples analyzed give the fol
lowing averago component parts of
good milk:
Water Slo parts.

Fixedness of Purpose*
It is a very common observation that
many very worthy people, more par
ticularly among the rural districts,
have no fixed purpose in life, but spend
their days in a kind of passive quies
cence, and are borne along by the
strongest tide, generally toward the
glare and glitter of the city, or fields
and pastures new beyond the sound of
their village bells. Few people in any
of the walks of life cultivate that men
tal energy which is so essential to
marked success or grand achievement.
A transient impulse toward a particu
lar end, followed by a period of doubt,
apathy and indolence, is usually sup
plemented by failure and disappoint
ment; but when some ruling purpose
or passion is the main object of a per
son's existence, then will his thoughts,
aspirations and efforts tend in the one
direction of the accomplishment of high
and noble aims.

Shoes Are a Blunder.
"Few people know how to take good
care of the feet," said Miss Moffett, the j
physician chiropodist of Detroit, as slio j
sat in a low, cushioned chair and held a
lady's foot in her lap. "All feet are not !
perfect by any means, but it is always j
the bad lit of a shoe that produces j
corns, bunions and other injuries which !
atllict the feet. Ido not believe that it
was ever intended that shoes should be
worn. The ancients believed this, for
they wore sandals."
"Why should sandals be worn?"
"So that the toes shall have room to
breathe. The great too, you see is on a
line with the arch of the foot, and
should stand out separate from the
others. The ball of the foot and tlie heel
serve as two pillars to balance tlie arch,
which is a bridge to tlie body. Every
step that we take that arch elongate. 6
like the springs of a buggy. A high
heeled shoe throws the whole structure
out. of balanco because we cannot raise
one part without making a false foun
dation. Wo are taught to consider the
pointed shoe beautiful, but how cau it
be beautiful when the foot is thrown
out of proportion ? People cannot walk,
they can only hobble."
"Have you many customers with mal
proportioned feet ?"
"All my patients have trouble with
their feet or they would not need my
services. A lady will come in and say:
'Mv foot has been abusing me all day.'
I at once ask, 'What have you been
doing to your foot?' It is a very elas
tic member, tilled with nerves and
blood vessels, and capable of doing a
great deal of work. Look at the foot
of a dancer and see what, it can accom
plish. The Germans call the toes the
foot's fingers.
"It is recorded of the Germans that
in a certain memorable battle they re
moved their shoes and braced them
selves with their bare feet in order to
successfully receive the charge of con
flict. My foot is so sensitive that I can
tell by walking across the floor if the
carpet is clean.
"A rounded, well-molded foot is a
good one. It must be in proportion
with the size and weight, and also
shaped to support tlie ankle. The shoo
skould he longer than tlie foot. It is the
short shoe that does all the mischief."
A SANITARY WASH-HOUSE. j
How Infected Articles are Cleaned in
Glasgow.
Albert Shaw has a suggestive article in
the Century entitled "Glasgow; a Muni
cipal Study," from which we quote:
"Not the least important feature of the
health department's work in Glasgow is
the Sanitary Wash-house. A similar es
tablishment should be a part of the muni
cipal economy of every large town. In
1804 the authorities found it necessary to
superintend the disinfection of dwellings,
and a small temporary wash-house was
opened, with a few tubs for the cleansing
of apparel, etc., removed from infected
houses. For a time after the acquisition
of Belviderc a part of the laundry of the
hospital was used for the purpose of a
general sanitary wash-house. But larger ;
quarters being needed, a separate estab- |
lishment was built and opened in 1880,
its cost being about $50,000. This
place is so admirable in its system ami ;
its mechanical appointments that 1 am !
again tempted to digress with a technical |
description. The place is in constant
communication with sanitary headquar
ters, and its collecting wagons are on the
road early every morning. The larger
part, of the articles removed for disinfec
tion and cleansing must be returned on
the same day, to meet the necessities of
poor families. I visited the house on a
day when 1,800 pieces from 25 different
families had come in. In 1887, 0,700
washings, aggregating 380,000 pieces,
were done. The quantity, of course, va
ries from year to year with the amount of
infectious disease in the city. The es
tablishment has a crematory, to which
all household articles whatsoever that are
to be burned after a case of infectious
disease must be brought by the vans of
the sanitary department. * The carpet
cleaning machinery and the arrangements
for disinfection by steam, by chemicals,
aud by boiling I cannot here describe.
"The department's disinfecting and
whitewashing staff is operated from the
wash-house as headquarters. A patient
being removed to the hospital, the au
thorities at once take possession of the
house for cleansing and disinfection. It
is a point of interest also that the city
has provided a comfortable 'house of re
ception' of some ten rooms, with two or
three permanent servants, where families
may be entertained for a day or more as
the city's guests if it is desirable to re
move them from their homes during the
progress of the disinfecting and clothes
washing operations. The house is kept
in constant use, and it is found a very
convenient thing for the department to
have at its disposal.
"As net results of the sanitary work of
the Glasgow authorities may be men
tioned the almost entire extinction of the
worst forms of contagious disease, and a
mastery of the situation which, leaves
comparatively little fear of widespread
epidemics in the future, in spite of the
fact that Glasgow is a great seaport, has an
unfavorable climate, and has an extraor
dinarily dense and badly housed popu
lation. The steady decline of the total
death-rate, and its remarkably rapid de
cline as regards those diseases at which
sanitary science more especially aims its
weapons, are achievements which are n
proper source of gratification to the town
council and the othcers of the health de
partment."
If Aluminum Replaces Wood.
If aluminum should ever replace wood
in the uses of construction, imagine the
effect of the revolution upon our trees
and woods! Here in America there is a
tremendous use of woods, and yet practi
cally no growing of wood for useful pur
poses; nothing but destruction on the
one hand and cultivation for the pur
pose of shade and ornament ou the other.
In New England, now, no bit of timber,
unless it is received for public \ises or
owned by some rich man, whose fancy
prompts him to spare it, or else is
on some inaccessible mountain side, is
allowed to outlive a period much exceed
ing twenty-five years. In Maine and
away in Michigan and Wisconsin, the
pine forests melt away till scarcely a ves
tige remains. The black-walnuts and
oaks which covered Ohio and Indiana arc
gone, and the trees of the same and
other varieties are disappearing from the
whole Appalachian range, from Pennsyl
vania southward to the hills of Alabama.
California's supply of wood is disap
pearing and the axe is making heavy in
roads into the forests of Puget Sound.
And all this destruction in order that
our teeming population may have wooden
houses and furniture and wagons and
scores of other things made of wood.
Now let us imagine all these things made
of a substance little heavier than solid
wood, and yet as beautiful as silver, as
tough as iron, as unrustable as gold.
Imagiue it also as cheap in the end as
wood. What further need to cut down
the trees, except as the ground is needed
for cultivation? The forests would
spring up again on the waste places, and
this time might live on undisturbed, to
gladden the eye and inspire the heart of
man to perpetuity. Long live aluminum!

Homesickness.
Homesickness is not a common malady
iu these days. It is easy to get home
from almost anywhere in these times of
rapid journeys that tourists for pleasure
and travelers for business do not indulge
so much as their grandparents did in the
luxury of woe aud separation; yet absence
has by no means ceased to make familiar
scenes more dear, and people enjoying
their travels in Egypt or Japan or Italy
often express the secret longing for home
in a manner that is sometimes touching
and often very funny. The little girl
who expressed in Paris the wish to "go
home and get a drink of grandpa's blue
pump water is equalled by a Boston wo
man now in Florence, who writes home
a description of the beauties of nature
and of architecture to be seen from the
windows of her temporary dwelling, yet
who looks beyond the "utmost purple
rim" of the Florentine hills to the three
hills here and says with native pathos,
| "I'<l give it all—all, mind you—for just
| one look down into my own back yard at
home."
Stories of homesickness, like stories of
absent-mindedness, have always the
touch of nature which sets the whole
world reminiscencing, and a bit of per
sonal experience comes in.
Once, when a small boy had gone on a
visit to the family of a relative in a
neighboring town, he was attacked with
the most violent symptoms of homesick
ness. The child had never heard of the
mental control of a malady, but he made
a brave tight with his homesickness. It
overpowered him at last, and he was dis
covered in tears by his aunt.
"Why, what is the matter?" she cried.
"N—Nothing," sobbed the small boy.
"Nothing. I was just thinking that
maybe 1 might forget to go h—home
when the time comes, 'cause I'm having
such a good time staying here!"—j Boston

Th readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
use that science has been ablo to cure in all
its stages.and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con
stitutional diseas ■, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Curo is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon tho blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers that thoy offer Ono Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it falls to cure.

—Vagabonds are described in old English
statutes as "such ns wake on the night and
sleep on the day, and haunt customable
taverns and alehouses, and routs about;
and no man wot from whence they came, nor
whither thoy go."
From the Liu eColonel 11. ItlcDnnlell,
Owner of some of the fastest running horses
in the world:
JEROME PARK, June2l, 1884.
This Is to certify that r have used Dr. TO
BIAS' HORSE VENETIAN LINIMENT and
DERBY CONDITION POWDERS on my race
horses and found them to give perfect satisfac
tion. In fact they have never failed to euro
any ailment for which they were used. The
liniment, when rubbed in by the hand, never
blisters or takes tho hair, off. It has more
penetrative qualities than any other I have
tried, which I suppose is the great socret of its
wonderful success In curing sprains. The in
gredients from the Derby powers are made
have been made known to me by Dr. Tobias.
They arc porfectly harmless. Sold by the
druggists and saddlers.

The marked hem-fit which people In run down or
weakened state of health derive from Hood's Sarsa
parllla conclusively proves the claim that this medi
cine "makes the weak strong." It does not act like
a stimulant. Imparting fictitious strength from
which there must follow a reaction of greater
weakness than before, but possessing just those
elements which the system needs and readily seizes.
Hood's Sarsaparllla builds up In a perfectly natural
way, all the weakened parts, acta upon the

"Hood's Sarsaparllla has renewed my grip. I

couraged. I have taken Hood's Sarsaparllla and
on looking myself over find that I am much
better, in fact quite a chap. Of course the medi

nearer to It than any thing else." CHAS. D. LONG,

A BAD SPELL.
A merchant's clerk wrote a check for forty dollars, and spelled the numerical
adjective " f-o-u-r-t-y." His employer directed his attention to the error, with
the remark, "You seem to have had a bad spell this morning." To which the clerk
replied, "Sure enough ; I've left out the " g-h." Let us hope the clerk will still
further amend his orthography, meanwhile, if anybody is sulTering from a "bad
spell " of headache, superinduced by constipation, over-eating or other indiscre
tion, let that person ask his druggist for Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets.
They are entirely vegetable in composition, and are prompt and effective in
action. They are specific in all derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels.
They are strongly cathartic or mildly laxative according to size of dose. Un
equaled as a Liver Pill. Smallest, cheapest, easiest to take. One tiny, Sugar
coated Pellet a dose.
