A CHINAMAN’S BABY GOD
This was told in the council room of
the Chong Wah Kung Saw, when the
incense sticks of the Slieang-tai were
smoldering and the sacred fire of t’aan-
heung was burning before the shrine.
-l^oi Hing. who married a ch’an white
woman, had become a father. He had
left his t’ong-yan wife in Kwiing-tnng
anu said he would never go back to the
land of his emperor. He married a Ger-
man girl when he kept a laundry in
Brooklyn,.and so great was the wrath of
her parents that he had to run away to
New York with her and leave his laun
dry in the care of his conisin, Moi Hank.
He rented one room np near the roof
of a four story tenement in Park street,
within the throw of a stone by a child
from Mott street. It was not a fine
place for p, white man to live, and white
men had not lived there for years. Chi
namen do not mind dark rooms, and the
German girl who married Moi Hing
made the best of her bargain by not
complaining.
Around the yat bunlows and in the
fan tan shops they call Moi Hing paan-
tim-ke-yat, the Freckled One, because
when the disease which the English call
■mallpox raged in the Kwang-tung dis
trict be came back to life like one whom
the gods desire to reserve for a different
fate. But his skin was no longer
smooth. It showed the claw marks of
the monster represented in the pictnro
books as having eyesof fire and claws of
steel. ", ‘ ’ •
-The men in the fan tan shops always
liked to see the Freckled One come
aronnd, for they knew he would not go
away until he left them all his money to
keep nntil he won It back. And he
•never staid very long.
They talked of these things because it
came before the story told with excited
S iture to the forty in the ebony chairs.
e Freckled One had, wheu his face 1
was smooth as that of a Peking belle,
learned how to carve curious things out-
of wood from a master of the art. He
had learned so well that he used to carve
the goda of the sea and of earth and of
heaven for tin) shrines in the Joss houses.
Bnt the ch’unt-tan monster who left
marks upon the faces of his victims when
he did not Jjdll, had stricken Moi Hing
down while he was at labor, and when
he was well again he conld not bear to
look upon the work done with sharp
knives and skillful hands.
The baby'which was born to him had
bine eyes and hair like the fine threads
of gold with which the people of Yat-
poon-kwok made wonderful embroidery.
“The American God has smiled upon
it," said Moi Hing when he first saw it.
“A-little god has been sent to me to
atone for the work of the Chinese mon
ster,” and he passed one hand over his
pitted face, and taking off his sandals,
salaamed three times before the bed and
poured wine upon the floor.
He went ont and bought woods that
were hard, and when he brought them
to the room, which was lighted only by
one window, be began to carve as hs used
to do in £wang-tnng nnder the master.
But he found new subjects for his work,
and instead of reproducing on the block
of wood the deities of the imperial dy
nasty or the sea gods with eyes like fishes
And scales on their breasts, he carved
ont tbe images of children, with round
eyes like the bine ones his baby had, and
he put .wreaths aronnd their heads.
It was a wonderful piece of work, and
he kept at it by the yellow light of his
tang at night and by the gray light
which came through the window daring
the day. When it was finished he set it
on the floor against the wall, and he
built a p’aang, or platform, in front of
it, and upon this he made the baby’s
bed. At each corner were bnrning Joss
sticks, and as the incense went np in a
straight line he belie veil the God of the
white people were satisfied.
All of his money he spent for incense
offerings for the blue eyed one, and he
placed gifts before the platform—little
tooi-liaai, made of bine satin, which
should be put on the little feet some day
—and made garments of brocaded silk
and a cap with a red button of the third
degree npon it.
The cousin in the laundry in Brooklyn
proved nnfaithfa]. and said there was no
money there, and the hand of the evil
one was laid npon the brain of Moi Hing.
Hing saw strange things, and when he
walked on the street he talked to him
self and cursed the men of his own race.
Be went into the fan tan shops and de
manded the money he hud lost weeks
before. In order to get rid of him they
gave him a few pieces of silver. After
the first visit, when they saw him com
ing, the keepers would say:
“Here emues the crazy Freckled One.
Give him some cash or he will bring us
hud Inck." IgaB [pf T if* M
The story of the' Freckled One’s bine
eyed baity soon became common report,
bnt no Cbinainan ever saw the face of
tbe child, so zealously was that one little
room guarded. From want, the little
German mother grew thin and pale.
They had their bowl of .rioe three times
a d.iy, and sometimes the Freckled One
would bring from the restaurant some
chan che gett, the feet of a sow, pickled.
But he hiul no eyes for the suffering of
-■to aaauir- ftft •- • ■ . — - r\ l
his wife, nor would he listen to her just
I complaints. He spent most of his time
iu the worship of his tittle white god, as
even now hia spirit iv.ta seeking release
from a worn out body. '
He told how Moi Hing had worshiped
all one nigat before the platform, and
called the blue eyed baby a white god,
destined by heaven to grow up into a
fine woman and deliver the Chinese
from the control of the imperial dynasty,
iu fulfillment of tho prophecy made
more than a thousand Tears ago.
Wearied with his devotions, Moi Hing
had at last fallen asleep. Tho tittle
German wife had wanted to take the.
baby to her bed, but he had said no. So,
when he was asleep, she who had been
waiting crept out of bed toward the
shrine and took the baby in her arms.
It was cold and still, and sho nestled it
alose to her breast, as mothers always
do, aud swiiiug at her treasure, fell
asleep.
Two hoars had passed by when she
woke np again. The baby had not
moved. Its legs and arms were cold
and rigid, and the eyes were half open.
It was dead. She lifted'the wee bit of
clay and kissed it as though she would
give it some of her own life. She colled
it ho yeung, and her tears fell upon the
wisps of golden hair.
The sounds of her -grief came to the
ears of her sleeping r lmsb;md. He
. crawled to hi3 knees and made an obei
sance before theffiirine.—The Joss sticks-
had burned down to the wood and had
gone out. .He jumped to his feet with a
cry like an animal at the fatal shot, and
began to tight new sticks. Then, for the
first time, he saw the child was gone.
He saw it in its mother’s arms. He
snatched it from her and felt its cold
cheek. Like a lamp of lead he went
down on the bare floor with the baby
still in his arms.
When he straggled to his Teet like a
man ui>on whom the yen yen is strong,
his wife was gone—she had fled in terror.
With a hatchet he chopped the shrine to
bits and laid waste the furniture.
The ones who hod been told this strange
story by the German wife found him j n
the room with the baby. After the
funeral she went to Brooklyn. He .will
go back to China, but will remember
nothing. They call him the Idiot.—

The beehonse is'8 by 10 feet and 7 feet
high in the clear. It is lined, and the
4-inch spaoe between the inner .and
outer wadis is filled with dry sawdust.
There is a 4-inoh ventilator through
the roof. It will hold twenty-four ten
frame Laugstroth hives, each super con
taining thirty-two one pound sections.
The hives are placed two inches from
the wall, and the openings of the chutes
are covered with wirecloth.
Keeping: Seed Corn.
, The most important point in keeping
seed corn is getting and keeping it dry.
Onder ordinary conditions it will dry if o m
suspended from the rafters of some aijy
i building. The Farm Journal says: “One
of our readers makes assurance doubly
sure by banging his seed corn in the I p e called the baby. The Chinese society
smokehouse and smoking it for several j would have helped him had he made
days. If quite dry, seed corn may be | known his wants, but he scorned all who
subjected to a very low temperature
without injury: but if there is moisture
about the germ—and tbe cob will con
tain moisture when tbe outside of the

rare north of Mason ami Dixon’s line

A BEEHOUSB.
The apiarist who thus describes in
American Bee Journal his plan for a bee-
house such as is shown in the cat here
reproduced says in regard to its manage
ment:
In winter the chutes are closed on the
outside, and the bees get air from tbo in
side of the house. In summer time,
when it is hot, I nso nothing but bnrlap
on top of the hives, and 1 have no bees
hanging out—they stay in the hives.
I can go into my beehouso at any time
of tbe year \vitl:i*ut starting roV..i.ig,
and by opening the winter dcor and
closing tbe screen door 1 l".ve all the
light necessary from the door to take off
honey or examine any hive.
I never lose any bees in my beehonse,
as they can have a flight at any time
during the winter, when it is warm
enongh, or I can close them np at any
time. From the bees kept in the honse
I get moro honey than from those that I
keep out of doors, and 1 am so well
pleased with my beehonse tlf it I have
built another one, and shall keep all of
my bees iu tho house.
There are so ruaay advantages in man
aging bees during swarming time in a
house like mine that 1 shall not attempt
to ennmecato them.

When one has work of an artistic nature to be executed, he naturally car
ries it to the very, best artist convenient. Of course, an expert workman and
skilled mechanic has the latest and best machinal, vi enable him to accomplish
the most satisfactory results. Np one wishes to p.w- im a workman who docs
not keep,abreast with the improvements of the day, for H « an impossibility for
him to turn out aMovel and artistic job. In printing, style* are constantly, chang
ing. Type faces that were popular last year, are now rarely used. Better effects
are seen by the most casual observer.
OUR TYPE FACES ME ALU NEW

jobs, which arc otherwise artistic, are spoiled by poor press work. In Th*
Banner Job room there are five of the finest presses made—Adam’s Patent Book

Presses and^Golden’s Pearl. / ^

gives out, but send your work in now, so that we may have time to make lt a
ruly artistic job.
These Messenger Boys were sent out to.make special
delivery of Catalogues, and told to hurry. This idea so excited
them that they got all mixed up and don’t know which is
which. They want you to pick them out and put them in their
proper order, so as to show the name of a leading piano.
Here is a hint. The catalogues tell all about the famous
SOFT-STOP and other patented improvements. For further
