CHINESE NEW *HAIL
THE CHINESE WILL CELEBRATE IT
THIS *YEAR AS USUAL.
It is a Nationel Inlay Day, and is for Illauf
the Only stolidity or the Whole Tear—
Something About the chineee 'Winter
and Row the People Sono to
The Chinese will celebrate New Year's
Day this year with quite as much enthus-
iasm as they over have in the past notwith•
etending their terrible punishment by theJa-
panese troops. The majority of the Chinese
people, in fact, hardly know thab a war
hae been going on, andnothing oould make
them give up their New Year celebration.
I occurs later than our; and comes on the
edge of the spring. h is, however, the
great festival of the yeer, and it is a sort
of 24th of May Christmas, birthday
and Sunday mixed up together. It is the
birthday of the whole Chinese people,
Every man, woman and child in the em-
pire is a year older on New Year's Day,
and all trot about and witsh each other
"many happy returns." It is the only
Sunday that the Chineee have throughout
the year. The working people labor from
ten to twelve hours every day, and they
put in thirty solid days e'Very month, At
New Year's all ;lay off for a rest, and for
about two weeks they do nothing but call,
eat and amuse themselves. For ten days
before the New Year the country goes
wild in preparation. The stores all have
low prices and new goods, and the bar-
gain counters are thronged quite as much
as they are in Canada. Everyone buys
presents, aud, alr who can, get a new suit
of clothes fcr the occasion. Those' who
can't buy borrow or rent, and the Chineee
on New Year's dregs in satins, furs and
silks. It is about the only day in the year
when the whole Chinese people are com•
paratively clean. Every person is sup-
posed. to take a bath the day before, and
this for the majority of the people is the
only time they get bathed during the
y ear.
A NATIoNAL RAY DAY.
New Year e is the national pay day. All
accounts must be tquared up at that time,
and the man who can't raise enough to pay
his debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can enter
the debtor's house and take what he pleases
If there is no settlement, and families club
together and make all sorts of compromises
to keep up the business reputation of the
clan. I was in China just after New Year's
last year, and I found lots of bankrupts.
It is a great day for -the pawnbrokers, and
their shops are crowded with people who
want to pay their debts and redeem their
beat clothes, in order to get them out of
pawn before New Year's: There are crowds
who want to pawn other things, in order to
get money to pay their debts, and the
Chineee probably patronize the pawn shops
at this time of the year more than any other
people in the world. Pawnbrokers receive
very high rates of interest, and they are
protected by the government. Speaking of
bankrupts, they are not permitted to begin
business again until some settlement is
made, and when I wanted to buy some
pictures in Shanghai I was told that the
artist who kept them was a bankrupt, and
that he could not open until he got more
money.
AN EMPIRE PAINTED RED.
The Chinese paint their whole country
red, figuratively epeakieg, on New Year's
in more sensea of the word than one. Red
is the color with them which denotes good
luck and prosperity, and all the New Year
cards and invitations are on paper of this
color. Everychild gets it New Year's pres-
ent wrapped in red paper, and red inscrip-
tionsarepasted over the doors of the houses.
These inscriptions bear characters praying
for good fortune, wealth and happiness, and
they are posted on each side of the outer
doors of the houses. New pictures of Chi-
nese generals are put on the front doors,
and the houses are scoured and made clean.
Among other thing; eggs- are dyed red,and
are offered to the gods and dinner parties
are gotten up in bright vermillion. The
red used is that which you find around our
firecrackers, and the Chinese spend more
in firecrackers on New Year's than do on
the twerity.fourth of May. The night be-
fore everyone is firing of packs of crackers,
and there are all sores off fireworks, includ-
ing birds and fishes, and scenes of all kinds
in fire. The firecrackers are used to soare
off the evil spirits, and hardly anyone goes
to bed the last night of the old year. The
Chinese say that the man who sits up the
last night of the old and sea the first auis-
rise of the new year for ten years in succes-
sion will oertainly have a loog life, and
there are all sorts of New Year's supersti-
tions.
)IOW THE BUYS TARE IT.
The children of China all expect to get
something on New Yeay's, and they gener-
ally receive presents of money in the shape
of copper cash wrapped -in red paper. On
the last night of the year they run through
the streets, shouting out good resolutions
for the New Year. There are games of all
sorts and many of the boys come out with
new kites. There is dancing in the streets
and there are jugglers and dime museum
shows and all sorts of theatrical entertain-
ments. The people have festivals and there
are family reunions. The rivers are cover-
ed with oiled paper, which is set on fire,
and the harborbecome flaming massee.
Everywhere here are shrines with burning
joss sticks before them, and the people
fairly go wild.
All people receive visitors on New Year's
Day, and the relatives who call are taken
icto the ancestral hall, and they worsh.
p
the ancestors of the family. After this the
yoang people go in and pay homage to
their parents and elder brothers, and then
$o to their schoolmasters and teachers.

WINTER, IN CHINA,
The winter is now at its worst in the
Chinese empire, and, the whole northern
country ia frozen up eolid. Tine means
great deal more there than it does here,
The rivers, which form the only mimeo of
travel outside of dirt roads, are frozea up,
and Pekin, the capital, is shut off frone the
rest of the world for four months of the
year. It is reached by the winding Peiho
River, which flow into the Yellow Sea
near the Tatra forts. Tien Tara is fifty
miles inland, and this ie a city of a million
people. Pekin is about eighty miles north
of it and the only couveyances are rude
Chinese °erne Lettere which go to Pekin
in the winter have th travel overland sev-
eral hundred miles after they reach ()hina,
and they first go to Shanghai; and are
carried by pony express.
A NATION IN SHEEPSKIN.
Nearly all the northern Chinese dress in
sheepskin during the winter, and coats of
this kind and jackets and pantaloons of
quilted cotton make up their clothes. The
colder it gets the more garments they put
on, and a girl who in the winter looks like the
fat woman of the circus, may slowly fade
into the ethereal type of the living skele-
ton ao she sheds jacket after jacket, when
the waym weather approaches. Clothee of
this kind cannot be washed, and those of
the poorer classes are dirty in the extreme.
The richer people wear magnificent gar-
ments of wadded -silk lined with fur, and
I saw one man's wardrobe which contained
at least $1,000 worth of wetly fur garments.
The furs used are of all kinds, and you can
get magnificent cloaks of Thibeten goo.;
such as cur ladies use for opera cloak; for
about $10 in gold. They have fine sables,
but they are thetly, and a number of Li
Hung Chang's nobles traci silk gowns lined
with mink. The fur markets of China are
as fine as any in the world. There are long
streets in Tien Tsin which are filled with fur
stores, and there is a square in Pekin which
is devoted to a fur market. Every morning
about 4 o'olook you may find there several
hundred wholesale fur dealers with their
goods spread out on the ground, and you
can buy all sorts of skins from the cheapest
of equirrels to the finest of seals. There are
lots of secondhand fur store; and old furs
are bought and cleaned and resold.
CHINESE RITEL.
• The Chineae do not use fire to keep warm,
and it is only in the rarest of instances
that you *ill find well -heated houses. Fuel
is remarkably scarce, and everything is
carefully saved. I saw hundreds of women
pulling up stubble and gathering straw and
old weeds in order to make fires, and one
of the chief businesses along the Yangtse-
Kiang is the cutting the reeds which grow
on the low shores and tying them up in
bundles to be carried into the cities for sale.
I saw no iron- atoves in China'and the
rooms which they pretended to heat were
furnished with what are called kangs.
These are ledges or platforms of brick about
two feet high, which fills one side of the
room. They are heated by flues, and a fire.
of straw is started under them and is kept
burning until the bricks are hot. The people
deep on. the kang, but the trouble I found
with them was that when they were fired
up they roasted me, and as soon as the fire
went out the kaiser became as cold as a
stone. I slept on them many nights during
my interior trip, and was continually
;Afflicted with a °1d. Had the fuel been
wood or coal, they might be better, but
with straw they were worse than no fires
at all. The stoves of China are usually of
clay, and charcoal is largely used for cook-
ing. There is said to be coal in nearly all
parts of the empire, but only a little
is mined. All of that brought into Pekin
is carried on the backs of camels, and I saw
many coal merchants who sold nothing but
coal duet. They mixed the powdered coal
with dirt, and moulded it up into lumps of
about the size and shape of a baseball. It
was aold by the basket,and it brought high
prices.
CHINA'S IMMENSE COAL MINES.
Still, China has some of the largest coal
fields in the world, and a German geo-
logist who has examined into the matter
says that the extent of the workable coal
beds of China, is greater than that of any
other country. There is coal rightnear
Hankow, which is now being used in the
making of iron, and every province in the
empire is said to have coal in it. There
is, however, only one mine which is being
operated on anything like scientific prin-
ciples. This is at Tong Shan, about
eighty miles from Tien Tsin, and the
Chinese have been mining about two thous•
and tons of coal a day here for years. 1
visited the works last summer, and took a
look at the miners. They receive about 63
cents a week, or 9 cents it day, and the
mines pay very well. The coal is bituna-
inotra, and it was about the only source of
supply which China had during the trouble
with the Japanese. The railroad runs
right through this region'and it was first
built to carry this coal to the sea. There
is said to be good anthracite coal in the
hills near Pekin'and when China is cover-
ed with railroads coal will be the cheapest
fuel.
A Simpler Plan.
Mr. Newedd—"Well, we are beginning
housekeeping, and I presume the simplest
plan will be for me to give you a regular
amount every week for expensee. Just fig-
ure up what it will coat."
Mrs. Newedd—"I could never do that
in the world—so many things to count,you
know; but let—me—see. Oh, I haye it I
I have thought of a much simpler plan."

rest." '-

FOREST ERS ARRESTED.
E. !Raven/mu, of' the Canadian Order
and Mr. Rosenbaum of Illinois.
A despatch from Chicago says:—.Ex.
Supreme Chief Ranger of the Illinois For.
esters, H. Rosenbaum, and Deputy Su-
preme Chief Ranger A. E. Stevenson, of
the Canadian Order, were held at the
Criminal Court on Tuesday morning on
charges of acting as agents of a fraternal
insurance agency without a license. This
is the outcome of it long and bitterly waged
warfare between the Canadian Order of
Foresters and the Illinois organization.
Matters reached a climax when it was
learned that Ilosenbaum,who was at that
time high chief ranger for the Illinois order
was co-operating with Mr. Stevenson with
a view to the absorption of the Illinois
organization by that of Canada. Rosen-
baum wa.s diked to resign, and hie resigna-
tion was hardly acted upon by, the high
court, before he and Mr. Stevenson were
forming new courts for the Othadian order,
which (mune were refused tt license by the
superintendent of insurance for Illinois,
because the organization was not under
inspectioh. The members, however, did
not cease their work, afid were finally
arrested on the advice of the Attorney.

For Moth Patches.
This remedy has been well tested and
has never been known to fail. One case
was of four yearo' standing. It leaves the
skin without a mar or bleinish, and as soft
and sihooth as an infant's. Proeure from it
druggest a 10% solution of salicylic acid,
and in another bottle equal parts of rose
water and glycerine. Use the solution of
acid often, every hour if possible, dabbing
it on with a soft,linen cloth. The glycerine
is to be used morning and evening and will
prevent the skin from becoming inflamed.
Use the acid until the' outer cuticle pares
off. It leaves no scar. In addition the
system must be cleansed. This is a good
complexion beautifier: One part sulphur,
one part cream of tarter, one part rhubarb,
all powdered and well mixed. Dose for an
adult one teaspoonful in a wine glass of
water, upon rising in the morning. Take
every third day for .one month.
Have a Bath Room.
Few old-fashioned houses can boast of a
bath room. Yet what a necessity and lux-
ury both the inmates of those same houses
are deprived of. For what class of people
who do manual labor requires a bath room
more than the farmer? By necessity he
conies in daily contact with the soil, and
hard, perspiring labor, and a nice, comfor -
table bath room is really not a thing unat-
tainable, even in those old-faehioned
houses, for there is always some small room
that can be fitted up for the purpoth at very
little expense. At least a good bath -tub,
with all of the accompaniments for bathing
conveniently at. hand, can be had even if
you have to carry the water in pail; and
that is better than no tub at all. You can
easily have drainage fixed to carry off the
dirty water, if you cannot have the water
brought in pipes.
Leaks in Tinware.
A housekeeper who has a box of oil
paints handy, can use a tube to advantage
O stopping small leake in tinware, such as
wash basins, dippers, etc. Squeeze a little
flake white over the hole, hang up the ves-
sel and let it dry thoroughly. A broken
glass or cup can be mended by coating the
edges of the pieces with white paint, press=
ing together and setting away to dry. I
have a glass which has been used two years
since being mended in this way and it holds
boiling hot tea on occasion.
Some New Desserts.
Be.ne.nas,orangee and nuts are good staple
desserts for the winter. Stuffed Bananas
are recommended. Purchase the fairest
and beet looking bananas obtainable. Re-
move carefully one section of the banana
skin,not breaking it off as it is to be replac-
ed, and scoop out the pulp, mashing it fine.
For four bananas, add two-thirds of a cup-
ful of powered sugar, one cupful of cream
whipped and half a tablespoonful of lemon
juice. Mix well, fill the skins and replace
the ;motion of skin,tying, if necessary,with
a thread. Pack in tin boxes surrounded
with equal parts -of salt and ice. To pre-
vent the salt water from reaching the inside
of the box, wind buttered cheese cloth
around the covers and name of the boxes.
Let it stand for two hours and serve each
banana on a doily, tying with a white
ribbon. The result might be termed a
glorified banana.
Orange Apple Sauce.—Pare, core and cut
into ;quarters one pound of apples. Put
three-quarters of a pound of sugar and a

orange; boil a moment longer, until syrup-

the apples. Cover the saucepan and cook

Worklogniets Are truing in AU netrte
of the 'World. .
For the two months ending December 10,
1894, the Iron Moulders' International
Ucion paid poo in funeral benefit;
'4 city of Mencheeter, England, has in
th , ploy of its municipal corporation
6,8 employes, receiving wages and salaries
ranee nting to $2,250,000 per annum. ,
'Women employed in any capacity in
printing and bookbinding offices are invited
to rally to a trade union which has been
formed in their iaterest under the guidance
and with the help of the Printing and
Kindred Trades Federation and the Wom-
en's Trade Union League.
After a strike continuing for twenty
days, the Walker Manufacturing Company
of Cleveland failed in an attempt to ran
their moulding shop with non-union,mould•
ers, and have conceded to Iron Moulders'
Union No. 218 of that city all that was
contended for, and henceforth the foundry
of that company will be run on strictly
union principles. All the "scales" were
destroyed. .
The Iron Moulders'Journal for December,
in reviewing the vicissitudea and triumphs
of the Iron Moulders' International Union
during the year just closing, asserts that "a
principle once defined and firmly; planted
in the minds of honest men, as is trades'.
unionism, cannot be destroyed, nor will the
men who uphold it ever succumb to the
adversities that beset and qbstruot its pro-
gress."
At the last meetiug of the South Staf-
fordshire Iron Trade Wages Board ab
Dudley the accountants reported that the
net average selling price of twelve selected
firms for September and October had been
£5 16s 9d per ten. In accordance with the
sliding scale the rate of puddlers' wages
becomes 78 Sd per ton and millmen's in
proportion, a reduction a three on pud-
dlers' and two and a half on millmen's
wages.
At a conference of miners held at New.
port, Monmouthshire, it was decided to
start an association to comprise all the
minere of Monmoutnshire for trade and
legislative purposes, irrespective of Welsh
or English Federation. A similar association
will shortly be started for Geamorganshire,
and the South Wales coal fields will then
decide whether to remain under Welsh
organization,with a sliding scale for wages,
or to join the Federation of Great Britain,
The Liverpool operative ship painters
have addressed a circular to the masters on
the subject of the dispute now prevailing.
The circular states that all other means of
coming to an amicable settlement having
been exhausted, the men wish to submit
the matter to arbitration. They have
already approached the Lord Mayor, who
has suggested that they should ascertain
the views of the masters as to the mode of
settlement, The circular,therefore, invites
the inesters to express their views, "in the
hope that by this means a good understand-
ing for the future may be arrived at."
The Iron Moulders' Journal for December
instant says:—"The Pullman Palace Car
Company was organized in 1867 with a
capital of one million dollars, which itt
present has been increased to thirty-six
million,on which it has paid for over twenty
years a quarterly dividend of two per cent.
andin addition laid up a surplus of nearly
twenty-five millions of undivided profits.
For the year ending July, 1893, the divid-
ends were $2,520,000, and the wages $7,
223,719, and for the year ending July,1894,
the dividends were $2,880,000, and wages
only $4,471,700, showing that as the div-
idends increared the wages of the workmen
decreased.
The oldest secret trade process now in
existence is in all probability either that
method of inlaying thehardest steel with
gold and silver, which seems to have been
practiced at Damascus ages ago, and is still
known only to the Syrian smiths and their
pupils, or else,tho manufacture of Chinese
red or vermillion.
