A Chinese Divorce.
Th* American humorist should be
glad to learn that loquaoity is the recog¬
nised in China as a grouud for di¬
vorce of a wife. Opportunity for
many Jokes is piesentod by this fact.
Other causes are neglect of her lord
and master’s family, jealousy, child-
Isssness and curiosity. The young
Chinese girl seems born to be ruled
half her life and to rule the other half
unless Fate gives her e too-long-
lived mother-in-law. In her home she
ie aubaervient to mother, father end
brother*, working for them *11 aud
looking for no reward in the way of
tripe to Europe, diamond ring* or sad¬
dle horses. At 12 or 13 she marries.
She ie then the slave of her mother-iu-
Isw, end her term of servitude under
this awe-inspiring person’s role is apt
to be even more wearisome than her
childhood’s slavery.
Finally the mother-in-law dies, as
they sometimes do even in China, and
her successor, who is little Mrs. Sun
Flower herself, et onoe begins her re¬
gime of authority, rearing her daugh¬
ters to be submissive and her sons to
be spirited and filled with a healthy
contempt for womankind. And then
when ono of these manly individuals
brings home a wife her victory is com¬
plete, and she bullies end tyrannizes
over her to her heart’s content, and if
•he be malicious and the record of u
sail girlhood to avenge, the spirited
sou’s wife i* apt to have a sad time of
it.
Value of Humus.
There seems to be a deep-rooted
opinion that humus is neocssary to
profitable crop production. Tho mat
ter is subject to dispute, the authori¬
ties not having- agreed upon any defi¬
nite conclusion thus far. As bearing
upon tho poiut: Iu tho light, sandy
soil of southern New Jersey sweet po¬
tatoes have been grown for sixteen
consecutive years without a particle of
organic matter being applied us ma¬
nure. Commercial fertilizers are used,
iu this particular case, exclusively.
Tho example of this one instance has
earned the abandonment of stable ma¬
nures in that neighborhood, with very
flattering results generally. —American

nnd struck $254,820 in double eagles
and $1,101,316.50 in silver half dol¬

May, 1861, when tho coinage ceased,
aud the United .Slates dies were de-
stroycil. A Confederate States’die
was then made, to be u-ed for silver
half dollars, but it was not fit for use

English Comment On the Message.
Referring to President Cleveland’s
message to congress, the St. Janus
Gazette says: there is nothing
whatever of the jingo iu Mr. Cleve-
land's message. Iu spite of all asser-
lions to the contrary, there is not the
least probability that the l nitedStates
will put any obstacle in the way of a
proper settlement in Venezuela.”
The Ball Mull Gazette says: “80
far 11 s our relations with America are
concerned, the message is not likely to
ra se any unpleasant questio r, but we
fail to see bow Mr. Cleveland’s dtfiui-
tion of Monroeism applies to Vene-
zaelft.”
The Globe says: “1 bore is nothing
surprising in the fact that the Mmiroc
Jectrinc I u ks rather largely iu the
message, 1 ,or in the hostile tone adopt-
ed towards England. Isn’t the presi-
Juutial election drawing nigh? Pull-

Bunking Underground.
A Cleveland architect thinks that the
occupancy of underground quarters by
u large tauk in that city is going to
murk a revolution iu building. He
► ays: “The idea is not new, but in
this case it lias been greatly developed,
and I look fcfr startling results. It has
been shown that with the aid of air
shafts and other appliances a story be- .
low ground may be rendered far more
comfortable than those above, and j
with caTo exercised iu tho ventilation
these quarters will doubtless prove 1
perfect from a sauitarv standpoint. If
this is so, one story below ground, why
not three or four, aud if two, three or
four, why not ten or twelve if neces-
sary? This may solve the problem of
economy in building space and do
away with tho sky-somping buildings j
that in other cities arc already causing
unfavorable comment. It maybe a
long time hence, but I believe the time
will come w hen there are ns many
buildings ten stories below ground as
there are that number above the sur-
face of the earth.” This sounds cham- \

Miller had given up in despair when one
day a neighbor, llev. S. G. Eohals, who Jives
near Linden advised him to try rink Dills.
Mr. Miller suid lie had no hope, and did
not want to make the trial, but his neighbor
insisted. The next question was where
could he get the pills. lie went to Jefferson
and found that «T. F. Crow, a druggist, ha l
them. Mr. Crow was an old neighbor and
friend and persuaded him to give the pills
a thorough trial, promising that if he would
take three boxes and Buford received no
benefit from thorn ho would charge nothing.
Mr. Miller took three boxes of Pink PiiIs
home with him, and says before Buford had
taken ono box there was a wonderful im¬
provement. This w/ts about eighteen months

young man about nineteen years old.

people of Linden.
Ilfs mother, Mrs. Miller, was also afflicted
with dropsy about seven years, suffering
much in the spring of the year. After seeing
that Pink Pi Is wnro benefiting her sou she
concluded to try them for herself. This was
about a year ago, nnd she remarked that if
it had not been for Pink Pitts she did not
know what would have become of her. She
had no symptoms of dropsy the past spring. praise

Mr. Miller referred us to J. F. Stoveall, the

Efficacy of Hot 5111k.
Hot milk for tho complexion has
proved to be of the greatest benefit,
and many women say they owe an im¬
provement of their complexion to tho
constant use of hot milk applied every
morning aud night to their faces.
Here, is what a woman prominent iu
the literary world, and whoso complex¬
ion is equal to a young girl’s, says:
“When I am frightfully fatigued from
the rush of the life I lead, I get a gal¬
lon of milk for 30 cents and put it in
my bathtub, addmg sufficient hot
water to cover tho body. I lie iu this
mixture for ten minutes and come out
feeling thoroughly refreshed and with
a new life to the skin, which, previous
to the bath, had a dead look.”
