Chinese Boat Dwellers.
Tho swarming inhabitants of these
floating tenements have their only
homos upon the waters of the noble
Peking river. Tho miles of closely
crowded boats moving restlessly up
and down stream between the green
fields, resemble a huge metropolis of
vast squares and avenues, river rocked
cradles, where the drama of life is en¬
acted by the thousands who glean but
a scanty livelihood.
As soon as a boy born to one of
these river denizens can stand upon
his little feet, ho is strapped to a skull
or oar, and begins to go through the
motions of propelling the bout, earning
hit living at least in theory, from the
earliest age.
AVhenever his hair is sufficiently
long te plait into a respectable tail, ho
begins to manipulate chop-sticks, to
nate foreigners, to understand the
ring of money and in time to paddle
his own small wherry and carry a for¬
eign devil up and down tho river. If
he wishes to see a little of tho world he
may ship upon a traveling junk, not
to venture,however,outside of Chinese
waters, and after accumulating a few
dollars he takes to himself a wife aud
establishes his home among the river
population. — Outiny.

PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
ITIGHER PAX FOR WOMEN THAN MEN.
Pittsburg (Penn.,) women have en¬
tered the ranks of day laborers and
are proving themsolvos so efficient
they receive higher wages than have
been paid men for the same class of
work. Half a dozen Welsh women be¬
gan work this week in the rolling mill
of the Monongahela tin-plate works
on the South Side. They receive rolls aud tho
plates as they come from the
separate the black shoots. This work
heretofore has been done wholly by
men. It is hard and rough. The wo¬
men wear great leather shields on
their hands, leathor apron3 and hob¬
nailed shoes to protect them from the
heat, and metal. The women are paid
$1.50 a day. Men received for the
same work SI.35. The forewoman
gets $1.75. This is tho first timo wo¬
men have been employed at such work
iu this country.—Chicago Tribuno.
CHANGES IN THE COIFFURE.
Tho coiffure of the up-to-date wo¬
man is very changing. Sho must vary
it to suit the fashion of her gown, de¬
clares a Filth avenue hair-dresser who
for years has beon allowed the proud
privilege of curling and puffing the
locks of the dames and maids of the
Four Hundred.
To harmonize with tho flaring skirts
aud bouffant sleeves, a coiffure has
been designed which only beautiful
women should wear, The hair is
wavod, parted in the middle and then
arranged in two fluffy puffs at each
side. These wholly cover the ears and
are held in place by little puff combs
like those onr grandmothers wore.
Tho puffs produce a very broad effect,
but they are as trying as they are
fashionable.
Maidens with plump cheeks and
round faces are shown another now
coiffure which also conceals the ears.
With this style wide, undulating wavos
take the place of puffs. Tho hair is
parted in tho middle and drawn
severely down over the ears, showing
the waves much pulled out. Tho hair
is then twisted iu a soft coil at tho
middlo of the back of tho head, whore
all fashionable coils aro uow supposed
to be.
It is rumored that tho severe little
part must go. Simplicity aud demure
ness are out ot fashion, and the co¬
quettish “Cissy Fitzgerald bang” is
coming in. This consists of three lit
tlo curls which bob on tho forehead
yet make no protense of hiding it from
view. The hair is parted, one little
curl falls on tho middlo of tho fore¬
head and another on eaoh of the
tomples. Almost every typo of face is
improved by a curly bang. It softens
the lines of the face and adds much to
tho effect of hats aud bonnets. Mon¬
tagues, which are a part of many of
tho new coiffures, are really forerun¬
ners of tho broad fluffy bang. At
present it is a mooted question as to
whether tho bang or part shall reign.
The pompadour has suddenly sprung
into favor. Parisian women
adopted it, and now New York girls
with low foreheads are following tho
fashion. Tho hair is waved aud drawn
straight back from tho forehead. Tho
stylo is severe, but cool aud sensible
for stunuler days. Blondes are out of
fashioD. Black hair is tha voguo.
Titian red is permissible, but glossy
blue-black is most in favor. Such a
quantity of hair is worn that hoad
nches are inevitable. Tho English
bun is a now coiffure, which requires
much hair. It consists of throe puffs
arranged crosswiso at tho back of the
head. Tho bow-knot is auother popu¬
lar coiffure, which is heavy, though
fashionable. It may bo worn when
tho hair is dressod high or low. When
high tho loops of the bow stand up
somo distance from tho head and havo
a largo Spanish comb for a back¬
ground. The bow-knot arranged for
a low coiffure shows the two loops
pinned close to the head just above
oentre iu tbe back. The onds of
bow are coiled together, torminatiu a
at tho neck in two riuglots. This is
an extremely novel and very popular
arrangement.
The Psycho knot is no more.
effects aro the vogue, and ringlets
everywhere. Clusters of them are
caught at tho back of tho head,
they bob behind the ears aud over
forehead. All hair is waved, and
wave is noticeably largo and
ing. Tho general effect of tho
coiffure is one of studied carelessness,
But the initiated are not deceived
this seeming simplicity. Thoy
that it requires a course of
and more patienco than the
woman possesses to arrange tho
ionable coiffure of to-day.
Combs, pins and hair ornaments of
all descriptions are worn. As

Texas’ Broad Acres.
Texas is so large that all the people
in the Unitod States could live there
and tho State would not then he as
thickly populated as Now Jersey is
now. Within tho limits of Texas may
be found more tirnbor than in Maine,
more granite than in New Hampshire,
moro marble than in Vermont, more
iron than in Nova Scotia, moro kaolin
than in Cuba aud moro manganese
than in Scotland. The wheat and corn
lands of tho State are as yet practi¬
cally uutilled, but there aro enough of
them to feod the armies of the world.
Texas is so big that it takes a traveler
some time to get accustomed to the
magnificent distances. It has an area
of 274,356 square miles, or 175,587,840
acres, of which more than one-half aro
prairie lands and about one-fourth
timber lauds. The rest ore either min¬
eral lands or are covered by bays,
rivers and other bodies of wator.
Texas is 825 miles broad, 740 milos
long and is divided into 244 counties.
It lias nearly 34,000 squaro miles of
territory moro than the Austrian Em¬
pire, G3,000 moro than tho German
Empire and 70,000 moro than the re¬
public of Frauce. All the New Eng¬
land States added to Now York, Penn¬
sylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland,
Now Jersey and Delaware have less
territory than Texas. The combined
aroas of Great Britain, Irolaud, Hol¬
land, Belgium, Denmark, Switzer¬
land, Portugal aud Greece aro
239,010 squaro miles, while
Texas has 274,356 square
miles. Dallas County, in tho
northwest corner of Texas, is
nearer to St. Paul, Minn., than it is
to Brownsville,Texas.,at tho month of
the Bio Grande. Chicago aud Cincin¬
nati are nearer to Texas than Dallam
County is to Galveston. Texas would

the eastern border to El Faso on the

same distanco, as from New York to
Chios go. From Sabine Pass on tho
southeastern cornor to Fort Mollenry
on the northwestern is 1000 miles in a
straight liue. If a bicycle rider should
traverse tho boundary lino3 of Texa3

Tough Stoi'y About a Diplomat.
Walter Wellman tells rather a tough
story ou Muruaga, tho late Spanish
Minister at Washington. It appears
that years a go the present Minister
was an attaohe of the Spanish Lega¬
tion, and W. W. Corcoran, whose
house was much frequented by mem¬
bers of the diplomatic corps, heard
that young Murnagn had misbehaved
himself beforo one of tho young ladies,
a rnomber of his household. Tho irate
banker took a stick and went to inter¬
view tho Spaniard, whom ho found in
his own drawing room. Ho taxed
Muruaga with his offense, and receiv¬
ing a reply that was not satisfactory,
advanced upon the offender with his
stick. Tho proud scion of old Spain
took refuge under a sofa, bogging
lustily for mercy, but Mr. Corcoran
poked him out of his retreat with his
stick and gave him a sounding whack
as ho fled precipitately from tho houso.
The incident led to the budding diplo¬
mat’s being sout to auother capital,
aud tho old-timers ut Washington
wore not a little surprised when he re¬
turned there as Minister.—Now Or¬
leans Picayune.

NEW USE FOR BREAD CRUMBS.
Bread crumbs crushed to a coarso
powder are admirable to clean deli¬
cate lump shades, screens, pillows,
fringes, scarfs, aud panels made of
bolting cloths and numerous other ar¬
ticles whose decorativo office is sadly
curtailed from tho delicacy of their
materials and their hitherto difficult
cleansing. The spot to bo cleaned
must be spread on a fiat surface and
the crams laid on it; then, with a soft,
clean cloth, these are rubbed around
and around with even strokes. Tho
crumbs must bo frequently renewod,
the soiled ones thrown away, and a
fresh layer put on. When the cleans¬
ing operating is over, a light shaking
or a brushing with a soft, fine brush
removes every vestige of crumb dust,
and the result, even iu tho most frag¬
ile and delicate of fabrics, is most sat¬
isfactory.—New York Times.
IIOW TO CHURN QUICK!;?.
Churning, as a usual thing, takos a
great deal of time, writes Louis liob
ertson, and is often looked upon as
tho hardest task by the housekeeper,
but I think I can give them a quick
and easy way, and want all the read¬
ers of Home and Farm to try it. First,
the milk must be attended to right.
Air your jars good, strain your night’s
milk in the churn aud let stand until
after supper, or until it cools, Thou
pour your morning’s milk into it,
and by tho next morning it will boready
to churn if the weather is not too
cold. Set a bucket of water on tho
stove while cooking breakfast, aud as
soon as it boils put your churu iu tho
bucket and begin churning. Tho but¬
ter will coma in just a few minutes and
will be real firm and nice, and tho
milk will not be hurt. Put no water
in it all until after tho butler comes.
You will-find this quite easy aud less
tedious.—Home and Farm.
AS TO COOKING RHUBARB.
If one knows of anything that will
savo drudgery it seems a lack of kind
feeling not to pass on tho information.
It makes mo really sad to think of tho
hours wasted iu past years in remov¬
ing tho outer covering of rhubarb. I
always disliked it; tho stalks did not
yield gracefully to tho knife, aud tiny
strips of skin would cling to tho four
sides of each stalk. If one were left
you had tho feeling an unpleasant
string, like poorlv-prepared string
beans, would be the consequence. I
was an uubcliever when told that rhu¬
barb did not require pooling, 4 4 Why
try it,” was the reply.
To try was to convince. Not only
was tho rhubarb richer to the taste,
hut more tempting to tli9 eyo. I
learned many years ago to pour boil¬
ing water over tho rhubarb when pre¬
pared for cooking, let it stand a few
minutes, then pour off aud add what
is required for the boiling; it removes
superfluous acid, makes a moro delicate
preserve and saves sugar. I havo been
grateful for that lesson. Now I fairly
revel iu tho few moments it takes tc
propare tho “plant,” and thedelicious
* • sauce” it makes after a few moments
of cooking. Traveled strawberries
cannot compare.—Springfield Repub¬
lican.

A t the Women Counted.
According to the most reliable esti¬
mates, the world today contains 280,
000,000 grown women. Among civil¬
ized nations the United States has ac¬
tually tho largest share, its femiuinc
population being 30,554,370. Bussia
comes next, with an adult feminine
population of 23,200,000. Then a
long way after comes the German em¬
pire, with 10,930,000; Austria with
9,680,000; Great Britain, with 8,796,
000; France, with 8,586,000 and Italy,
with 6,850,000. Spain comes next on
the list, 4,130,000 of tho fair sex, and
she is followed by Belgium, withl,-
340,000; Roumania, with 1,260,000;
Portugal, with 1,080,000, aud Holland,
with 1,070,000.
The countries whose adult feminine
population does not reach 1,000,000
are Switzerland, which has only 690,
000; Norway, which has 465,000, aud
Greece aud Denmark, which are tied
at 490,000. In this estimate it will bo
noted that the entire Finale popula¬
tion of the United States is given and
only the number of grown women in
tho different countries of Europe. As
a matter of fact, in proportion to its
population, this country has fewer
women than most of the others men¬
tioned.
The proportion of women to men in
the United States is greater in New
England, where the women aro iu ex¬
cess. It is least iu the far west, where
tho number of men exceeds that of
women. Wyoming has tlio smallest
female population, 21,362; New York
the largest, 3,020,960, while it is said

Tho following interview has just been given
Our reporter by Mr. G. A. Baker, tho oversew
at the farm of Col. Isaac A. Sug o> of Green

ever had typhoid fiVg^ Mr. Baker said in
port:
“I was living In Beaufort County, ond -n
the 2d day of October, isa3, I was stricken
down with typhoid lever. I had the best
physicians to attend mo and on the 15th day
of January, 1894, I was allowed to get up. 1
Was emi dated, weak nnd bad no appetite.
I could cnly drag along for a short distanco
and would be compelled to sit (jown and
test. This continued for some time and I
began to give up hope of ever getting well.
I lost my position in Beaufort County and
having secured one in Pitt County, clerking
in a store, I undertook it, but was so weak I
tould not do the work and had to give it uj ),
The disease settled in my knees, legs and
ieet. I was taking first one kind of medicine
and then another, hut nothing did me any
good. I was mighty low-spirited, I moved
out to Col. Sugg’s about four or five months
ago and commenced taking Dr. Williams’

piration of the threo months I was entirely

woods nnd do as gcod a day’s work as any
man. I was troubled with dyspepsia and
that has disappeared. It is also a splendid
tonic for weak people. I sav, Mr. Editor,

All that extortion is soon to he done

Mr. James Hyde, once a lawyer iu a
small town on Long Island, tolls a
good story about himself. He says:
. . It was when I used to practice law
in a little town near the center of the
state. A farmer had one of his neigh¬
bors arrested for stealing ducks, and I
was employed by the accused to en¬
deavor to convince the court that such
was not the case. The plaintiff was
positive that his neighbor was guilty,
because ho had seen the clucks iu tho
defendant’s yard.
i 4 ( How do you know they are your
ducks?’ I asked.
(4 4 Ob, I should know my own ducks
anywhere!’ replied the farmer, and he
gave me a description of tlieir various
peculiarities, whereby ho could readi¬
ly distinguish them from others.
if i Why,’ said I, ‘thoso ducks can’t
be of such rare breed ! I have seen
somo just like them in my own yard.’
Ii ‘That’s not at ail unlikoly,’ replied
the farmer, ‘for they are not the only
ducksl have had stolen lately.’ ”— In¬

But we are not.
The world looks blue; our foot are
