; Chang Jen Yuan in later = years . could never quite figure out what had been the cause of the strange sensation or why everything had suddenly turned black. Maybe it had been too free use of his pipe and the “cooking” lamp. : Chinatown accepted the news as a matter of coures. That any one should doabt that the spirjt of Chang Jen Yuan had not flown was never dreamed of. Had not the devil doctors of the colony said so? Had they not straightened the road for the departing spirit? So Chang Jen Yuan had been borne away to one of those half dozen barren rooms in the remote recesses of Chinatown which were used for the sole purpose of dying in, each one being used with a view of having the departing unfortunate as far away from the company headquarters as possible, and thus eschew bad luck for the family in proportion ‘to the distance. : - It may have been the slamming of the door, but something woke the officially and geomantically dead man .-instantly the watcher had departed. And it may be that the long sleep, the reaction from the opening and the sea-pregnant wind from the south combined to renew his strength in that mysterious way so often observed in those sick as was he. He felt stronger than he had for weeks, and he recognized the need of a large jar of tea and a few bowls of rice. The inter- - mittent hunger of .the opium-user was upon him. So he made his way out threugh the unillumined hallways of the Doyers street tenement and down to the street. So keen was his animalistic instinect that his actual relation towards his fellows occurred to him not at all. till he slid into a corner seat at his favorite restaurant nearby and shouted for the foods of his desire. pledging his credit in the ° same breath. :

“I am honored, worshipful,” began the prgprietor in his stereotyped answer from where he -was waiting on another table, his back - turned to Chang.® Just then he turned his head and saw who was ordering. There was a crash of wares, a shower of chow main and a splash of tea mingled with the thud &f a fat man falling over backward in a sudden effort to get turned around, bow, and fall on his knees at the same time. The guests at the other table looked.! One was the consulting expert of the board of condemnation. Instantly, amid a clatter of falling stools, five personages much superior to the poor chilook in ordinary were on their knees bumping the floor with their heads. The nimble wit of the oold geomancer was. too quick for the chi-look. At least, if he had never seen a living, walking, talking member of the holy band of Heavenly Ancestors he had read in the ancient books the stories of men who had, and he knew from that how to behave. Thrusting his hand inside his jacket he came forward with rare genuflections, and drawing forth a crushed thing, blew in one end of it, and laid on the plate before the hungry Chang a red and holy paper fowl such as are always served to the dead. In a bowl he sprinkled a' handful of chopped paper cubes and the rice was ready. Then a torrid wave of Chinese anger swept over him, and he vented shocking sentiments concerning the gods, the ancestors and the lacks of virtue of the worshipers before him, in fact, everything in general. At this instant two of the Tongs of Walters on the Dead appeared, and Chang was reverently and prayerfully kicked into the street. 3

Next door, Tom Lee, the mayor, was holding a hasty consultation with the three doctors who had condemned the poor chi-look, the death-waiter who had tended him, gnd the head of the Chang family company. The doétors said he must be dead because they had condemned him, the watch said he was dead because when he had last seen him he was not alive and the Chang chief was certain he was dead because he had already paid the deathwaiters and had ordered the funeral. A few minutes after an eager group scanned a small red strip of paper on the municipal bulletin board, which officially and irrevocably pronounced Chang Jen Yuan to be of earth no more. It might have added “and govern yourselves accordingly,” but it did not. :

Meanwhile Chang had considered until he had a plan. He rose and started off, showered with prayers and blessings and good Iluck signs from every side, none of which he heeded.

At dawn next morning any one who had been abroad in the desolate tide flats beyond Astoria might have seen a tottering, bedraggled Chinese, bearing a small bundle, with a hunted look in his eyes, picking his way across a lonely bog to a hut on a higher spot where once a gang of Italian laborers had made rendezvous while laying an oil main. When the track-walkers along the railroad saw smoke rising from the distant shanty in a day or two they ‘surmised somé stray unfortunate had squatted down there. By and by they noticed that the abandoned garden the cook for the Italians had started was showing bright green in the sunny side of the windy knoll, where the breath of the sea poured against the slight elevation all day long. Early in June, housekeepers in Astoria were amused to see a spry little man, a crownless derby on his head, wearing a gunmny sack cut into a coat and a much-patched pair of overalls, knocking at their back doors and asking if they wanted any nice, fresh radishes, lettuce and the like. This he said with a childlike smile, turning back the newspaper cover of a very dispace of time it took s rcketly old

green spring wagon and a sorrel horse that was so decrepit that it was easier for him to go sideways than forward, to deliver all the green stuff demanded, for it was very_good truck indeed. Next, at some unrécorded period Sammy Pippet, who may have been whole-witted ~but had never shown much intelligence except at mealtime in all his 17 years, appeared driving the wagon and vending the wares. About the first of August, instead of Samuel, the green wagon and the old sorrel nag, there came an equally old brown wagon and white steed, while in the plump-faced Chinese who handled the reins as if they were kite-strings féw could have found any trace of Chang Jen Yuan, the withered tubercular skeleton who had come to the hut in the bog, creeping like a pariah. Perhaps it was the wholesome toil in the open air and the absence of opium, but the creases were gone from his brow, his arms were thick and strong and the dance of his eyes and the baby smile of his mouth told of his entire well-being. ‘ ‘ Some of ‘the workings of the Chinese mind can be understood, when it is said that one very hot Sunday afternoon there came lumbering up Third avenue a heayuy loaded green wagon that threatened to sink to the pavement every time the wheels turned, drawn by the sorrel antiquity and driven by Chang of the Garden of Benevolence, dressed in a new suit of American clothes, with the shelt creases still plain, while on the back of his head, covering his queue, perched a jaunty Panama. Across his rounded front lay a heavy gold watch chain, and barely showing from either side trousers pocket was the hilt of a huge pistol. . : The vegetable wagon was hours late, and an excited ,throng of anxious buyers filled the crook of Doyers street while the usual Sunday gxflu‘x of laundrymen loafed about, scenting

Seeing the crowd, a squinting glint came into the little eyves of Chang Jen Yuan. Around from Pell street there came with all haste that was compatible with dignity the head of the Chang family and two of the board of condemnation. The buyer for the Chang house made a lane and ushered the new arrivals in with ceremony. To their fulsome obeisances to the spirit of the dead Chang Jan Yuan paid not heed beyond bending a hard, scornful eye upon them. Then the Chang chief advanced with more ceremony and began picking out the vegetables his buyers wanted. The minutes passed with the throng still clustered, silent and eager, the tension growing momentarily.” The buyer had all he wished, and, turning to the devil-doc-tor, the Chang chief took from him a handful of dead-man’s money and, laying it on the seat of the wagon, was about to=turn away when he was held rigid by the cold glitter of two pistols leveled at his head by his former chilook. 4

“ Forgive my importunate avarice, my cherished cousin, but I want $4.60 in money of the white devils,” said Chang Jen Yuan. s The Chang chief heard and saw, and, digging'deep down in his flopping trousers, he drew up a thick roll of bills, extracted a five-dollar greenback, laid it on top of the dead man’s money, and walked away. : . An hour later a procession issued from the Chang company headquarters and moved in slow state to the josshouse. Chang Jen Yuan marched at the head, his face solmn but his eyes dancing; beéhind him, a trifle shamefaced, came all the heads of the clan. With much incense and gongs till midnight a new joint was put into the doctrines of Confucius and Chang Jen Yuan entered on his second life. For Efficiency of Refrigeration. A congress of refrigeration has been arranged to be held in Paris during July next. It is expected to bring together leading experts and represent. atives of the principal industries and enterprises of all countries in which refrigeration is used as an agent for facilitating the preservation aad transportation of food materials by land or sea. Through such a confersace of practical and scientific men it is hoped to improve and perfect and on certain lines to standardize the industries of cold storage and transportation by the study and adoption of the most -ad vanced methods and appliances which experience has thus far developed and thereby to extend the range and pro mote the efficiency of refrigeration a#® a factor in international commerce.

TURPENTINE IN THE HOME., innumerable Uses for Which it Really Is Invaluable.. After a housekeeper fully realizes the worth of turpentine in a household she is never willing to 'be without a supply of, it. It gives quick relief to burns; is an excellent application for corns; and is good for rheumatism and sore throats. Turpentine is a sure preventive against moths; by dropping a trifle in the drawers, trunks and cupboards it will render the garments secure from injury during the summer. - It will also keep ants from the clusets and storerooms if a few drops are put in the corners and: upon the shelves, while it is sure destruction to bed bugs and will effectually’ drive ,them away from their haunts if thoroughly applied to all the jointg of the bedstead. It injures neither ¢lothing ‘nor furniture. ' - : One tablespoonful added to a bucket of wa(im water is excellent fpr cleaning paint. : , Turpentine is used in laundry work in conjunction with ammonia to re move paint stains from colored clothes. The two liquids are mixed and the stain dipped in and rubbed until it disappears. If is also used in cold water starch to make the iron pass along the fabric smoothly. Proportions four drops to one tablespoonful of ' gtarch.

PRUNE SERVED IN NEW WAY. Prepared Thus It Makes the Daintiest ' Sweet Imaginable. L If you want the daintiest sweet imaginable to nibble on this afternoon, go right- out to the kitchen now and put some prunes on to soak. Several hours later, perhiaps right after dinner, stew them in the same water. Then drain them, and when they are cold, take the stones out, just as you would treat dates. -

. Boil together 1% cups of sugar, onehalf square chocolate and three-fourths cup of milk until a thick sirup is formed; then add one-half cup chopped English walnut or pecan meats. Remove -from the fire; add a half-tea-spoon vanilla and beat until creamy. Fill the prunes with the mixture and press the edges together. Dissolve an ounce of 'gum arabic in & pint of water and dip each plume in it; then fn granulated sugar. Set in a warm place until dry, and you won’t recognize your humble old friend, the prune in its new guise. B

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Be prompt with home repairs and the house will ®ok ten times smarter than when little. damages are permitted to be in evidence.

Mother of pearl should néver be washed with soap, for it discolors and destroys the brilliancy of the shell. The right method of cleaning is with whitening and cold water. A tablespoonful of alum well stirred into four gallons of water will cause all impurities to settle to the bottom, when the water will be fit for use. Of rourse, the water must not be touched luring the settling process. When ironing handkerchiefs begin froning in the middle. Ironing the edges first sauses the middle to swell out and makes it very difficult to iron and fold them :properly. Test the iron on a piece of rag or.paper to pre vent any accident by scorching. To clean marble take two parts of soda, one of pumice and-one of salt (all in powder) and mix to a paste with water. Rub this on the marble, not forgetting to add some “elbow grease,” and wash off with salt water. Finish with clean colsl water and a soft cloth. e ot

Cranberry -Marmalade.

A delicious butter or marmalade can be made with Concord grapes and cranberries. Take one quart of cranberries and half a basket of grapes. The rest of the grapes may be used for the table. Add two or three cups of water and cook all together. When soft run through the flour sieve. To the pulp add enough sugar, ground cinnamon, and cloves to taste good. Cook about 20 minutes and seal hot. It tastes almost like apple butter. For the marmalade cook about an hour—sometimes it thickens enough In less time. Put marmalade in crocks, seal with paraffin, and slice cold. '

Nutmegs Have Medicinal Qualities. Nutmegs have medicinal qualities which make them most useful in the treatment of various illnesses. In cases of colic and dysentery, for instance, nutmeg, very finely powdered and mixed with a little milk, often has a most beneficial effect. For children, one-sixth to one-third of a teaspoonful, according to age, should be given, and for older people from one to two teaspoonfuls every two hours. Sleeplessness is often relieved in the same manner, for nutmegs have very soothing qualities. ! Minced Collops. Take 1% pounds hamburg or rouud steak and bave it ground. Put in a stew pan and stir with a fork until all grains are separated, then cover with water and cook slowly one hour, adding more water if it boils away, Add salt and pepper to taste and a chopped onion if liked. Thicken with a tablespoondful of flour mixed with cold water, and serve with mashed potatoes. This makes a good dinner for five adults. - : ‘Anise Toast. Five eggs separated, one cup of granulated sugar, one cup eof flour gifted three times with one tablespoonful of baking powder, one tablespoonful of anise seed. Bake in two shallow tins. When cool cut in strips of about one inch, then through the center. Put bgfik on the tins, and lay on the cut side, return to the oven, and toast light brown on both sides. Fine for invalids. . 5 - Coffee Substitute. ; - Two cups cornmeal, two cups nice clean bran, mixed well with one cup of any good molasses. Brown in oven, stirring often. When cool mix with half pound of Mocha .and Java coffee ground fine, In making coffee use about same as ih using pure’coffee. Needs nothing to clear it sad is ex-

Considered Easier Method Than Other - Forms of Grafting. Trees may be propagated by root grafting more easily than by any other method. - The main part of the work can be done in winter, assuming that the . roots are obtained before the ground is frozen too hard. Roots from nursery trees of medium size about one year old are best. The scions may be cut any time before the buds swell. = The grafting may be done any time in winter in the farm workshop or. basement. The scions should be five or six inrches long and cut so that a strong bud will be at the top of each piece. Cut the lower end as shown in the il e e e I, ety TN R How the Root Graft Ils Made.

Instration. Make a long, sloping cut at the butt end about 1% inches long, tapering to a point. Then cut a slit one-half inch long, parallel to the cut just made, forming a tongue, and with its point a little below the middle of the slope. Then, taking a piece of rcot five or six inches long, cut it iR precisely the same way as the scion, so that the two fit together and correspond. Join gcions and roots of the same size, go that the cut edges will fit well. If a number of scions are cu’ at the same time it will be easier te find one which will fit éach root as it is cut. : :

‘When root and scion are fitted together, says Farm and Home, hold the graft firmly, and with the spliced part between the thumb and forefinger, ‘take a piece of waxed thread in the right hand, put the end of it under the left thumb to hold it.fast while the thread is passed around the graft and made to bind down the end. Wind the thread, or roll the graft in the left hand, so as’ to bind the cut surfaces together; and snap off the thread without tying it, as the wax will hold it in place. The tying is a very simple operation, and children can learn to do it, but cutting and fitting the graft should be done with care. ;

Tie the completed grafts in bundles and store away in sawdust or similar material until planting time, keeping them in a damp, cool place where they will not freeze, and where mice will not get at them. At treeplanting time set them out in rich, mellow soil, placing them deep enough to cover the point of union. If kept cultivated these grafts should make good growth the first season. . PRUNING FRUIT TREES. Apple Trees Should Allow of Passage of Wagon Beneath Limbs. Apple trees should not be given such low heads that a horse and cart cannot be driven around .in the orchard quite close to them. It is convenient to pick fruit standing on the ground, but the inconveniece of low trees overbalances that advantage, If the branches start from the trunk five feet from the ground and the pruning is properly done 'afterward large horses can be driven along as closely to the trees in plowing the orchard as is necessary, without interfering with the branches. 1 : In pruning, keep an open top, and as straight branches as possible. Trim from the trunk or from thé branches and look after the tree closely enough so a heavy pruning knife or a pair of shears will do the work where -a saw would be required later. If big limbs are cut one to two inches in diameter, don't forget to cover the stubs with thick paint. ‘

HORTICULTURAL NOTES. Don’t plant too many fruit trees, but enough so that you can give them the right attention. Do away with that ladder leading to the hayloft and put in steps. . It will be time well spent. : Keep your orchard as near like a garden as possible from the time it is planted to the day of its death. Three fine requisites are necessary to secure early potatoes, viz, early soil, early planting, early variety. Every farmer should take an interest in the forestry question. It vitally concerns the farmer as well as others. In taking up young trees for transplanting they should be marked so they can be put in the ground just as they came out. Hen manure seems to have a special value for the onion crop. If none is at hand 1,500 pounds per acre of a good potash fertilizer will do. * Onion land should be :plowed in' the fall or early winter. Give a shallow harrowing just before planting the geed. Plant early in drills 14 to 16 inches apart. ' Beautify Your Grounds. : It costs practically nothing but labor and not much of that to beautify the home or the schoolhouse grounds. A ‘smooth, nicely-sodded lawn and a few trees, shrubs, vines and flowers about the house add dollars to the value of the farm aad untold wealth and comfort to the occupanis. ; ‘ ~ Gutting Potato Seed. — It is not so important to cut the potatoes to one, two or three eyes to each pieve as it is to have each piece as large as possible with one to three eyes. v o Serves Him Right.

FERTILIZING WITH CHARCOAL.

Experiment Has Shown That It Im. proves the Soil for Plant Growth.

A horticalturist connected with the botanical gardens in Washington is quoted as saying that experiments with reference to the use of charcoal as a fertilizer for plants have developed the fact that plants will vegetate and grow in nearly pure charcoal and that plants grown in a mixture of two-thirds coal and one-third of vegetable mold greatly surpasses those grown in the ordinary way. Thickness is added to the stems, richness to the «color of the leaves and beauty to the blossoms. In all cases where it is customary to mix sand with the mold in_ which plants are set the substitution of charcoal dust for the sand will render the vegetation stronger and more vigorous. :

Pure charcoal acts excellently as a means of curing unhealthy plants. Take, for instance, an orange tree affected by the very common disease in which the leaves become yellow, and it will acquire within a few weeks a healthy green color by removing theupper surface of the earth from the pot in which it is contained and placing in its stead a layer of charcoal of an inch in thickness. - The chsrcoal to use is the dustlike powder from fir or pine coal and the best results are ohtained when the coal has been exposed to the action of the air through a winter season. . The properties of charcoal are manifested in two ways, says the Epitomist; fiirst, by its tendency to preserve all plants and substances from decay, and secondly, by the carbonic gas it furnishes during the slow decomposition it undergpes and which, in a few years, converts it into coaly earth. It yields directiy and constantly one of the most eswential elements of plants and gives beautiful color and great luxuriance to them. ghe‘re large quantities of charcoal are Sused the plants consume and require more water than ordinarily, as the air is given free access and dries the roots rapidly. | ~ STARTING HORSE RADISH. Set Out the Roots as Early as It Is e Possible. Horse-radish is ‘started by setting out roots as early in the spring as 0t R . the ground will 3_!(’@;_o;”_7?s’-7;,? : ",‘,’, permit. These 6. 7K X T\, ToOts are known < m‘\\, ¥ as waste roots, QA £ ‘* ‘,.. cut from the sides o B Y', of the marketable ii & Igi crep. In taking e BN up horse-radish, i ‘%,%5 _ there are always igßt K E several small bgs ; 3 roots radiating AU E from the main or Vg7 ° tap root which is i used largely for grating. These small roots are cut oft and used for starting new beds. Roots as large as a lead pencil, and larger, are taken off and used to ‘good ad-. vantage. They are cut into lengths from 4 to 6 inches and taper at the top or thick end, that is, they are cut on a slant .as seen in the cut,.and not square off. v These are put in the ground so that the thick end is upward. They are planted about 2 or 3 inches deep. This is to prevent any water from aeccumulating on the end of thé plant, thus' causing decay. Horse-radish delights in a rich soil and is ready for market by October 1. It can be left all winter and marketed early in the spring if desired. I know of but one variety, says a writer in Orange Judd Farmer, and it is as hardy as a dock root when once started. Usually from two to five plants can be cut from each root during barvest, besides having roots for sale. I started with 1,500 plants and in three years set out 40,000 besides selling a considerable number. The cost of horseradish sets or plants ranges from $2.50 to $3 per 1,000 roots. When set out, the rows should be set about 3 feet apart and plants about 14 inches in the row.

Imitating His Elders.

Young folks are quick to pattern after their elders, bad habits as well as good. A little Rochester boy was sent on an errand by his mother to the grocery store, and when he caine back he was contentedly eating a banana. “Where did you get your banana?”’ asked his mother. “Bought it,” he replied, quietly. “But I gave you no money to buy one,” she objected. “Oh, well,” he said, nonchalantly, “I told Mr. Brown to let ‘me ‘have two, and I would drop in and pay for them next week.” That was beginning the credit system ai an early age.

Exit Stale Tobacco Smell. Lavender salts are used in our home to freshen the air of the living rcom, where smoking is occasionally indulged in. Select a large modthed bottle—a stick candy jar which will hold a quart is just the thing., Ip this place one pint of pure (not household) ammonia, add two ounces of oil of lavender and . then . fill the bottle. with carbonated ammonia blocks. = When using shake the bottle, remove the stopper and leave for half an hour. The odor is peculiarly invigorating and not at all overpowering if not too close a sniff of the jar is taken.— Good Housekeeping. Ptan Bed for Next Year. To make a success of strawberries, the ground should be well manured the year before planting and should have grown a crop of potatoes that have been well cultivated and no weeds allowed to mature. This ground should be plowed late in the fall; some soils will be better plowed again in spring, some may be disked and well dragged. ‘ .

AN INTERESTING ’ CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT

Any Child Can Do It—The Result Is < Almost Like Magic—Useful, Too.

Anything in the nature of a chemical experiment is. always interesting and usually educative. Here is asimple experiment which any child can perform and which is instructive in a very practical way: Get a bit of White Lead about the size of a pea, a piece of charcoal, a common candle ir a candlestick, and a blow-pipe. Scoop out a little hollow in the charcoal to hold the White Lead, then light the eandle, take the charcoal and lead in’ one hand and the blow-pipe in the other, with the large end of the blowpipe between the lips; blow the flame of the candle steadily against the bit of White Lead on the charcoal and if the White Lead is pure it will presently resolve itself into clittle shining globules of metallic lead, under the jntense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving no residue.

~ If, however, the White Lead is adulterated in the slightest degree, it will not :wholly change into lead. So, it will be seen, that this experiment is not only an entertaining chemical demonstration, but also of practical use in the home. White Lead is the most important ingredient of paint. It should be bought pure and unadulterated and mixed with pure linseed oil. That is the best paint. The above easy experiment enables anyone to-know whether the paint is the kind which will wear or not.

The- National Lead Company guarentee that white lead taken from a package bearing their “Dutch Boy Painter” trade-mark will prove absolutely pure under the blow-pipe test; and to encourage people to make the test and prove the purity of paint before using it, they will sjgnd free a blow-pipe and a valuable 'booklet on paint to anyone writing them asking for Test Equipment:=—Address National Lead Comp&y, Woodbridge Building, New York’ City. .

NEURALGIA : 5 The real meaning of the word Neuralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who has suffered with the malady will not be so anxious to know of its nature as to hear of its antidote. Though scarcely recognized by the’profession and people half a century ago, it is now one of the most common and painful ailments which afflict humanity. As now generally understood the word signifies an affection of the nervous system, with pain in the course of the principal nerves. z The two great causes of Neuralgia are, Impoverishment of = the Blood and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and the treatment of it is not so obscure as many would be led to suppose. The first thing is to relieve ‘the pain, which is done more quickly and satisfactorily by ST. JACOBS.OIL than by any other remedy known; the second object is to remove the cause, which is accomplished by the abundant use of nourishing food, of a ‘nature to strengthen and give tone to both the muscular‘ and nervous systems. -
