How a Chinaman Farms.
A large part of the farming of China
is dope by irrigation. It is wonderful
how wdl they work, and how much
the} get off the land. Three crops a
year is by no means uncommon, and
if any sign of a failure of crop is seen,
the d for another crop is straight
way sown.
It is wonderful how small the farms
are. There are thousands of holdings
in China which are less than an acre,
and >rne are even as small as tho
tenth of an acre. ft is estimated that
an acre of land will,in the better parts
of tb • empire, support a family of six,

is kept in great vats, and the farm is

RTTTMPY 1
BY FLORENCE HALLOWELL HOYT.
E was only the
boy who
tended to the
chores about
i the hotel, and
i f'rN so he was never
< l invited to play
croquet or
Wm lawn tennis, or
to substitute iu
t h e baseball
1 ml nine; and he
1 was laughed at
R good deal be
cause ho had
freckles, red
hair, and wore
clothes a great deal too small for him.
His name was Ephraim, but everyone
called him “Stumpy,” for he was short
nnd rather stout—-everyone except
Carrie Mowbrav, that is Carrie never
Used his nickname, 8he said she
didn’t consider it kind.
"He’d like to bo tall, I dare say.
So would a great many other people,”
she said to her cousin Belle Towers,
one day on the porch.
"But he is hideous, actually hide
oils,” said Belle.
"Oh, no; you exaggerate. If he
didn't have freckles he would hardly
be called even plain ; and the freckles
will wear oft' in time.”
"I doubt it; and then his hair—so
red ! and he is awkward, too.”
"He’ll outgrow his awkwardness,
and ho can’t help having red hair.
J’ve heard you sav you’d like to have
dark eyes— but you'll never have them,
We’re obliged to be contented with
liature’s decrees usually; and you
can’t deny that Ephraim looks honest,
He is amiable, too, and very obliging. ”
“To bear you talk,Carrie,one would
imagine him a paragon. I suppose
you found out all these virtues when
you were talking to him on the beach
yesterday.”
"I was simply asking him about the
tides. ”
“You could have asked some one
rise. fin
talk lo him, Carrie. I've that
n hope or t of thing happen before. 1 only
lie’ll never have file assurance to
speak to me.
“ <>h ‘ jois enough good sense to
inhere he is wanted. He never
thrusts himself forward in the least—
1 i. ve noticed , that.” ,, . ,,
“Welt, don’t encourage him to talk
to you. People of that class tire very
t0 P r f um ® "l’™ “Jg,
however trivia 1 , and Belle strolled
; loWi ; th f K f?P s if the direction of the
beach, feeling that Carrie had justly
deserved the rebuke she had given
her.
Belle did not intend to be either
unkind or ungeueious; but, like many
other girls, she had an exaggerated
idea of her own importance and the
aristocracy of wealth. Ephraim found
it pretty hard to be at the beck aud
call of everybody at the Beach House,
aud he had to grind his teeth some
times to keep from “answering back”
when his orders came in peremptory
tones from some young fellow no
older than himself.
“But I mean to see it through,” he
said to his sister, ns he sat talking to j
her one evening in the doorway of
their cottage after the labors of the i
day were over. “You know I have
always said that a fellow was a coward
wlio’d give a thing up just because it
proved hard. By next summer I can
find something else to do, and all I’m
going through now won’t matter.”
“I m well proud of you, Ephraim,”
said his sister, as she looked at him
with tender eyes. “You're so brave.”
Ephraim laughed.
“Don t be proud until you’ve got
something to be proud about,” he
said.
Ephraim made it a point to take a
plunge in the sea every * morning on
his way to the hotel. He was a fine
swimmer, and thoroughly enjoved his
ten minutes in the water. It seemed
to tone him up for all day. He had
always had the sea to himself at that
bour ’ ** was a„ early riser from
necessity as well as inclination, but
on the morning after his talk with
Barbara, he had just entered the water.
and was only a few yards from shore,
when he heard a shout, and, turning
around, saw half a dozen of the bovs
from the hotel on the beach.
“Here, you fellow,” called out Per
cival Peyton, a young man who boast
ed of his blue blood. “Come out of
that."
His tone, more than the command,
irritated Ephraim. Ho turned about
again and struck out for deepwater
without making any reply.
“You insolent young hound, don’t
you hear me?” called Peyton, the
angry blood mounting to his face,
“Come out of that. The fellows want
to go in.
“Well, you can come in," answered
Ephraim. “I’m not in yonr way.
There’s plenty of room.”
“Yes; what’s the use of making a
row?” drawled Frank Chapin.
“I’m not making a row," said Pey
ton, “but I never have gone into the
water with the hotel servants, and I
don’t propose to do it now. This
fellow might as well learn his place
now as at anytime.”
“Oh, let him alone; Stumpy is a
good sort, ’ said Charles Colwell. “He
can “Not qutswim much,” you auv
9 oy-
nidered himself tb« best swimmer on j
the beach.
“Take a pull together a* 1 decide
it,” said Colwell.
“Thank you for the suggestion,but
I don't enter any swimming match
with a fellow not mv social equal,” j
answered Peyton, snobbishly.
Ephraim by this time was an eighth re-j
of a mile from tho beach. He
ma ined in the water his usual length |
of . then fin 1 Pe
t,rae *» came out to ' y tou i
matting for him, a very dark frown on
bls handsome face. The other boys

-
with for thlfl impertinence, ho said,
E i )hraini starte<l toxrnrd one of the
bath houses. "You will hear from
this, and very shortly, too.”
Ephraim made no rejoiner, but he
couldn’t help feeling a little uneasy,
almost wished he ha 1
Ptiytoil’s order, insulting as it was.
The Peytons occupied the best rooms
at the hotel, and had the cream of
"If it weren’t for Aunt Martha and
Barbara. I wouldn’t care,” the boy
fleeted. "But if I lose my place it’ll
come hard on them.”
By the time he was dressed Eph¬
raim had decided on the hardest task
he had ever set himself. He would
apologize to Percival Peyton.
He gave himself no time to hesitate,
k ut "'vent straight to the point.
"Mr. Peyton,’’lie said, "perhaps I
* ftS wrong not to come out of the
water when you told me to. I hope
you’ll overlook it and not report me
to ^r. Springer. I can’t afford to lose
m y place.”
‘You slio ild have thought of that
before,” rejoined Peyton, haughtily,
"One of tho first duties of a servant
is to learn his place,” and he turned
on his heel and walked away.
Ephraim went to his duties at the
hotel feeling as if he hated the cold¬
blooded young aristocrat, and it didn’t
improve his temper to hear Peyton re¬
lating the incident to Belle Towers
when they were on the porch togeth
ef after breakfast, and Ephraim was
holding a horse ao the block. Belle’s
rejoiner reached his ears with cruel
distinctness.
"The impudence of it,” she said,
“It all came of Carrie’s talking to
him. I told her he’d be getting fa
miliar. The next thing we’ll know
he’ll consider himself privileged to go
into the water when we girls are iu. I
hope Mr. Springer will discharge
him.”
Ephraim's heart swelled with indig
nation and pain. How these wealthy
people despised him! His father had
been the captain of the Life .Saving
Station, and they had lived in comfort
as long as he had been spared to them ;
but he had lost his life one bitter
night in the performance of his ardu
°us duties, and dark days Jiacl come
to the little family. Ephraim, who
had been attending school regularly,
had been obliged to put his young
shoulder to the wheel at once, and
had taken any sort of work he could
find. As he heard the conclusion of
Belle’s speech he wondered what he
was going to do in ease Mr. Springer
acted on Percival Peyton’s request.
There was Ben Todd who would be
tire glad oflered!* to junm.intcUiii.. place
if chauee And the chance
did offer. Just before noon Mr.
Springer sent for Ephraim, and as
soon as the boy saw his face he got
ready for the blow that he kbbw was
about to fall.
"Complaint of impudence and diso¬
bedience has been lodged against you,
Warner,” said Mr. Springer, as he
turned over the leaves of a ledger on
his desk. “I can’t have any one here
who is obnoxious to my guests. So I
won’t need you after to-day. I have
engaged Todd to take your place.”
Ephraim was too much stunned to
utter a word in response. He simply
nodded and left the office.
Going outside he walked slowly to¬
ward the rear of the building, trying
to think how he could break the news
to his aunt and Barbara.
Suddenly he heard a cry, and, look¬
ing toward the beach, saw the people
running excitedly to and fro. He un¬
derstood at once that some person
must be in danger of drowning, and
without hesitating a moment he
dashed down the board walk, tbrow
ing off his coat aad shoes as he went,
As he reached the beach he saw Mr.
Towers, a man of middle age, spring
into the water; and far out beyond
the breakers saw- the objects of his
solicitude—two girls, who had ven
tured two far out and were unable to
return against the strong current,
Another instant and Ephraim had
dashed into the sea, almost throw*
ing over Percival Peyton in his im
perilous eagerness to lose no time,
and, being a strong swimmer, he soon
overtook and distanced Mr. Towers,
ami in a few minutes more succeeded
in reaching the girl nearest him. It
was Belle Towers, and she clung to
that him desperately. he freckled, What cared she now |
was that his hair was
red, and his gait awkward? He was
the one plank between her aud a
watery grave, and she held to him
with wild despair. With great diffi
cultv Ephraim persuaded her to
loosen her grasp and gave her into
the care of her father, who had now
reached them. j
“Take her in—-I’ll get the other.”
he said, and struck out to where ■
Carrie Mowbray was straggling in the
water 209 yards from shore. She was
just about giving up, her strength
having almost failed.
“Courage,” he cried, “keep up till
I get there; I’ll save you.”
His words gave her a fresh strength.
By a great eSort she kept herself from
sinking, and the next moment Ephriam
had reached her and extended one arm
so that she could grasp it.
“Cling to my shoulder.” he said.
Carrie obeyed him, and the gallant
fellow turned about for shore. He
made fair headway for a time, and
J then, putting finding forth the great overtaxing exertion he was
was his
and that the girl’s weight
was burying him deeper and deeper,
so that every wave broke ovei their
hea ls, he spoke again:
“Y'ou’ve got to help me or we’ll
both drown/’ he said.
“If you think we can’t reach the
shore I’ll taKe my hands off,” answered
the*»uoble girl. “There is no need
that we should both go down. Save
yourself, and never mind me.' 1
But plain, poor and awkward as he
; was, Ephraim arner was not one to
i desert a wpmau i* deadly peril. He
had gone out to ss.ve her and he pro
posed to d# it or die in the attempt.
“I won’t leave 3 'OP,” he said ; and
then, with ready resource, told her to
grasp one of his shoulders with one
hand, an l use the other as in sw in¬
ming. “If yon car. do this we’ii get
to the shore all right,” he added.
“We mustn’t drown if we can help it.
Do best now. *
your encouraged, Carrie
Thus was able
to follow hls directions implicitly,
and under the changed conditions rh e
intrepid swimmer put forth all In s re¬
maming strength, and witn.n a few
minat e« they were within reach of the
assistance of those from the shore.
As they all rose from the water and
Mrs. Mowbray staggered forward to
fold her daughter in her arms, a great
shout went up from the excited
crowd.
"Three cheers for Ephraim War
ner,” cried a voice. Instantly it was
taken up, and cheer after cheer raug
out, while Ephraim, too weak to utter
ti word, gazed around him for a mo
inent in bewildered astonishment, nu I
ihm, for tho first time in his life,
quietly fainted away,
_ „ * * *
That evening, as Ephraim lay on the
old couch iu his aunt’s little sitting
room, feeling still the effects of his
desperate battle with the waves, a
shadow darkened the doorway, and,
looking up, he saw Percival Peyton
standing there. *
"I’ve come down to apologize to
you, Warner, for what happerfSd be¬
tween us this morning,” began Pey¬
ton. "I thought I ought to do it, you
see. I’m not given much to apolo¬
gies, but, I hope I’m not a cad- You’re
a brave fellow, and I’m proud to know
you. Shake hands, and let’s call it
square.”
Ephraim’s hand went out at once,
aud ten minutes later he found him¬
self promising to take a place in the
iron works of Peyton k Co., if room
could be made for him.
"And I imagine I can fix that all
right,” youug Peyton said, and went
away feeling that he had shown him¬
self a gentleman.
This was not all that came to Eph¬
raim through his courageous act.
The United States Government, in
recognition of his bravery, sent him a
gold medal, the highest award that
can be made, and when he put it ou
for Barbara to admire, she almost
cried.
"You certainly can’t say I haven’t
a right to oe proud of you now, Eph¬
raim,” she said.
"Oh, almost any one would have
have done what I did if he’d known
how to swim as well,” rejoined honest
Ephraim modestly.
But his eyes shone, nevertheless,
as he looked at that gold medal which
bore testimony to his bravery.—New
York Examiner.
The Most Beautiful
The quezal, of Gautemala, is con¬
sidered the most beautiful bird iu the
world. Its plumage vies with the
rainbow and shines wife a metallic
luster. Until within the last few
years it was unknown to science, main¬
ly owing to the fact that it is a hermit
among the fe athered c reatures, de¬
lighting in the silence of deserts. It
dwells on mountain heights above
seven thousand fee^t in elevation.
The quezal was tho royal bird of
the Aztecs, aud its plumes were used
to decorate the head-dresses and
cloaks of the kings of that race. Its
breast is a brilliant scarlet, while it s
green tail attains a length of three
feet. It is about the size of the com¬
mon pigeon. Tt nests in holes in rot¬
ten trees, which it enlarges with its
bill so as to make a roomy and com¬
fortable residence. The young are
hatched totally naked.
It is the hardest of all birds to pre¬
pare for mounting, for its skin is as
tender as so much tissue-paper, and
the feathers are implanted to such a
slight depth that they readily fall out.
A specimen is very apt to be spoiled
by falling against a branch of a tree
on being shot. Up to 1860 naturalists
did not know where the quezal was to
be found. The few specimens which
had fallen into their hands had been
obtained from Indian.s, who kept the
secret. About that time, however, a
collector visiting that country got ou
the track of the birds and went up
into the mountains, where he shot a
number of them. In ancient times
the skins of &11 birds of this species
belonged to the king, and none but
members of the royal family were al¬
lowed to wear the feathers.
The quezal belongs to the family of
trogons, the genus including forty
six species, thiity-three of which are
American. All are very beautiful aud
extremely rare.—New York Dispatch.
He Got Big G.ime,

wandered across a pie-co of land
owned by W. G. Cartwright, of Pup
ley, Miss., and noticed a big oak, that
had been uprooted by a recant storm,
He stopped to inspect it, and saw some
thing there that almost made his heart
standstill. It was a large quantity of
silver com, whien had been burxel
near the roots of tha tree. He g-it a
aud managed tocarry homeabout
31.0,000. The money is nearly all of
American mints, and none of it bears
date later than the beginning of the
Civil War. It is believed to have been
hidden by the outlaw John A. Mur

that he buried the money near In liaa

Carrier Swallows.
The Manchester (England) Guardian
relates an interesting experiment,
which goes to show that swallows mar
be made to do the work of carrier
pigeons. Mr. Hinchliffe Kave, of
Delph, has a loft of carrier pigeons,
and lately a swallow has built a nest
in the loft. A few days since he
caught the swallow, and, after cutting
its tail, he sent it with some pigeons
to a place about sixty miles distant, to
be released along with them, though
he had little i ?ea of ever seeing it
again. The instructions were carried
out, and one of the first birds to put
iu an appearance at the loft was the
swallow, Mr. Kaye feels quite elated
! with the success of his experiment,

A Japanese Clock.
The real Japanese clock, one of the
kind in use among that brown skinned,
nlmoud eyed race of orientals before
they came in contact with the time¬
keepers of European pattern, is the
oldest horologieal instrument imagin¬
able. They are of many kinds and
patterns, of course, but all are alike
in one re spect—viz., in recording the
flight of time without that seeming in¬
dispensable adjunct, the pointer ro¬
tating on an axis.
In these queer Jap timekeepers the
scale and figures (characters) are ar¬
ranged in a fashion more resembling a
Farenheit thermometer than anything
else, the pointer or “hand” being at¬
tached to a rod, which is continually
sliding downward in the “time tube,”
thus pointing to the hour and minute
as it slowly but imperceptibly falls to¬
ward the “bulb” or “weighthouse.” A
square linked chain is attached to the
upper end of the rod, to which the
time pointer is affixed, and when the
clock is “wound up” it is done by
simply coiling the chain around the
toothed wheel. A heavy weight fastened
at the other end of the rod continually
pulls rod and pointer downward, thus
plainly and simply recording the fight
of time, — St. Louis republic.
Sleep for Children.
A physician ttrges upon mothers the
necessity for plenty of sleep for child¬
ren during the age of development. A
child brought up in a town can scarcely
get too much sleep. The least amount
for a child up to 4 years of age should
be 12 hours, 11 hours from that to 7
years, UHMfoin 7..to lo, 10 from that
to 15 and 9 up to 20 years of age. '"
Nor is it a good plan to make a prac¬
tice to awaken children at some re¬
quired breakfast hour. See, if pos¬
sible, that they go to bed sufficiently
early to get their quota of sleep by the
time the breakfast summons sounds,
but in any event let any morning task
or duty go by rather than the growing
and building sleep power be shorten¬
ed. Fortunately mothers these days
have much more liberal and enlighten¬
ed notions about child bringing up
than formerly, and they more often
select the right and most important
line of action in this respect .—New
York Times.
Oatmeal in the Soup Pot.
Few people, says a well known cook,
appear to realize the value of oatmeal
as a means of thickening soups and
Btews, etc. It should be smoothly
mixed with a little cold water and
stirred thoroughly to the rest in a
boiling state. It requires brisk boil¬
ing ior 15 minutes, but need not be
stirred all the while, as cornstarch or
flour must be. This means of thicken¬
ing ir not only the most nourishing,
but also the cheapest.
Last year Florida’s exports of or¬
anges to Europe were as follows: To
Liverpool, 23,794 boxes; London, via
Southampton, 15,307 boxes; Glasgow,
950 boxes; making a total of 40,051.
