The editor ot The Industrial Gazette
baa obseneil that the man who starts in
to do a da; 'a work, and attempt to do as
much In one hour as ought to be done in
two, will usually find it necessary In a
short time to take a rest, and while he is
resting will lose valuable time which he
evidently frU that be ougm to mage up,
judgine from the spasmodic efforts he will
make when he starts in to work again.
But, at night, the man who works steady,
bnt perseveringly, will be found to have
accomplished the most, while usually he
will also be found in a much better condi
tion to commence again the next day.
So it is in business. One will seem to
hustle around and make i considerable to
do over what he is doing, and after
wasting his energies In accomplishing
what, by taking a little more time, could
be done with very'litUe effort, and then,
because, as he thinks, he fails to meetthe
success he imagines ic should, becomes
discouraged ami ready to make, a change
to something elc This, In a majority of
cases, proes a loss, and, in consequence,
he does not succeed as the energy be dis
plays wonld teem to warrant Another
maDf while he may not make, a great dis
play of bis energies at the start, will go to
yrorkjnore systematic, and, will hare
better opportunities to economize, and In
many cases to manage better than when
be attempts to rush matters. If he will
but observe, he will be ready to take ad
vantage of any favorable circumstances
Xhat may arise. It always'seems that the
man who is constantly shitting about Is
always making a' change at the wrong
time, when a. little perse crance would
have brought him,, through all right.

If N'ew York had one-tenth aa many
deaths from any disease that comes under
the head of pestilence, and typhoid feer
seems to belong there, as it does from
pneumonia, it would be wildly panic
stricken and every Gothamite who could
?et away would be on the rnn. This
wholesale destroyer is busy all the jear
round, but chiefly, of course, after the
rold n rather begins. At the present time
it is doing its fatal work all oier the city
ind adding to the death list eery day.
rhe doctors are very little more success
ful in treating it than they were twenty
or thirty years ago, when it was tailed
either Inflammation of the lungs or con
gestion of the liuiR-i. it prolmbly is not
my more prevalent than it was then, but
we bear a great deal mure about it, any
way. The frequent mention of it in the
death notices would seem to indicate that
nearly half the deaths in the winter are
caused by it. Neither young nor old,
feeble or strong has any immunity from
it. Men apparently in the most robust
health are stricken down by it almost in
stantly, and death frequently ensnes
within forty-eight hours. If the aged are
attacked by it a fatal result is almost
absolutely certain. Some of the doctors
are now- talking about a microbe that
they suppose to be at the bottom of it,
but that does not seem to help them in
treating it. Microbe or no microbe, it
pursues its fatal course, sparing neither
rich nor poor. New York Cor. Detroit

A retrinrd Salmon.
Henry Benson, of Hayden Hill, Lassen
county, Cal., has in his possession a speel
hpii of petrified salmon. The former
leshy part resembles crystaltzed and va--iegated
quartz, retaining in part the yel
.owlsh color of the salmon, and what was
.'onnerly the skin of the fish is now a sort
?t porcelain or white flint. The entire
prcimen is of the very bttrdest quartz in
texture. It was found on a hillside at
nU ut 1,300 feet altitude from the floor of
B; Valley, and evidently petrified at that
pel nt. This would indicate that salmon
i'lhabited the ancient rhers, the beds of
yhich now form the strata of the Sierra
'.Ceiada mountains, and in which ancient
Uinnnels lie the rich deposits of Califor
lia's gold.
These ancient river beds, as is well
known, are found at various heights abo r
the sea lei el, and in some places but a
few- hundred feet below the crest of the
range, and perhaps hundreds of feet be
neath the solid formation of mother earth,
a:nl running entirely independent of any
prcsent surface formation. To determine
with certainty that salmon iuhabited
these ancient rivers would be an interest
ing fact, as it would fix at a much later
date than is now generally supposed the
geological rriod when, by mighty up
heaval, these old rher courses were
changed and obliterated from the face of
the earth Sacramento Itecord-Union.

There l proluhly no country or people
about whom so many popular misrepre

singular state of things is due to two
chief causes. In the first place, most

first impressions from tery superficial
data, and without understanding the sub
iects upon which they write. Then again.

are not diowel to lose sleep, whether

shoulders or on wheellwrrows. The streets
are not over six to ten feet wide, and the
sidewalk is In the middle of these narrow
lane-. The stores and shops are open to
the street line on either sirf'e, nnd each
shopkeeer cleans the street o the center
In front of his shop. This js all the pro
vision for street sweeping. I.'o garbage is
thrown into the streets, and "ah barrels"
are mikiiov.li: hence the chief sources of
dirt in our cities are unknown. There are
no underground sew ers, and no need for
them. Residences are provided w ith other
means of dissping of IHlli than either
dumping or draining Into riters.
Ktery residence, however humble. Is
provided with earthen jars, or large stone
ware vaults, into which all otherwise un
usable refuse is cast, and the couteuts of
these "family Jars,'' unlike our "family
jars," Is t-outertible into cash. No peo
ple fertilize in agriculture to such an ex
tent as the Chinese. This creates a ready
market for w hat we cast in sewers and
pollute our waterways. A common street
sign posted over large earthen vessels
sunk in the streets do not warn the "Pub
lic" to commit "Nu nuisance," but re
spectfully iutite the public to "Pause
here." These "peculiar'' and odoriferous
institutions are owned by men who make
It their life business to deal iu the com
modity which the aforesaid "public" de
posits in the receptacles. This is sold at
so much a "measure" to farmers, who
carry It to their homes, often many miles
away, where it is put into earthen tanks
or vats to ferment (reader, hold jour
nose) until it is required to fertilize grow
ing cabbages and other "truck." This is
one ot the characteristic institutions ot
China, and the good results from it are
apparent in the tields ot food plants.
Every cow herder carries a basket into
which be or she gathers up the "frag
menu" which nre used ns the city sewer
age for fertilizing purpose.

As one saunters through a Chinese city.
his eyes are greeted with what at first
forms, to any the least, a unique spectacle.
It Is the public patronage of the dealer in
sewerage. Is she air purer Well, hardly.
Have you ever observed the uniformly
small noseof the 'Orientals in this coun
try If yoii have, ami will accept my so
lution of that feature, it is that the smell
ing organ has Iwen exhausted by Inhaling
the street odors of ( hina. One thing ran
be said In fat or of thus disponing of the
sewerage or cities, tiz.: it does not ooijute
the water, vhirli is more tital to health
than the 'air. 'Then the air lias greater
self cleansing powers than water, and,
taken on the whole, it is the better plan
to protect the water than the air from im
purities. It is also true that no poison is
so maliguaut as sewer poison, and that is
unknown in China.
Hate you eter figured the commercial
value of the contents of our sewers,
w hich is dad) and hourly, like Tennyson's
brook, flowing on foreterto pollute our
own Niagara riter? If so ton hate been
surprised that some method of utilizing
this source of wealth has not been det ised.
It is not my purpose here to dish up flg-urc-ror
statistics on the value of au ar
ticle (Lilly going to waste, and for which
the soil of the surrounding country is suf
fering. Under the existing regulations
the Chinese farmer is able to harvest
three crops from every foot of ground
ttery)ear. In no other way could such
n population tie fed. Winter wheat ro
tates with either riieor cotton. During
winter, when the wheat is getting its
start, radishes or turnips are grow n on the
same soil Then around the margin of the
ground seeded to w heat, Iwans or peas are
grown. As soon as the wheat is hart ested.lf
rice is to succeed it, the ground is irri
gated and planted with rice. If cotton is
to rotate with the wheat, the seeds are
planted In-fore the wheat matures, by
digging between the drills of wheat, and
when the latter Ls hartcstcd, the cotton
plants are well under growth. Then the
space Iwtween the cotton plants is dug
up, and the succeeding crop is sole tenant.
When these summer crops are gathered,
w heat Ls again viwu. Not a foot of soil
is left lion productive. This state of
affairs could not last, but for the rich
fertilizing methods, and sewerage is the
principal and almost exclusive source ot
fertilizers. The "Beuigbtcd (sic) heathen"
has learned iesMini in economy and cleanli
ness from which liie American people
might learn thing or two. Pen llvra

There are certain old women whose
duty it is torarrt I be proposal and bring
back the anstt er These old w omen know
many lote potions, winch they administer
fur money.
When the old woman goes to propose
she must wear stockings of different
colors. "She has on stockings of two
colors," says a modern Greek rhyme,
"methlnks we shall hate an offer." If
the proposal is refused, the oung man
isaaid "to eat gruel." The cause ot the
frequency of these marriages de conven
ancc is to be found in the peculiar law ot
inheritance still in to-tne iu some ot the
remoter islands. The eldest daughter
inherits etert thing to the exclusion ot
her brothers and joiiner sisters, even
her mother's embroidered garments and
the slab on which she sa.ts her prayers in
church.
In other parts of Greece no girl can
ever hope to find a husband until she
has a house of her own; hence protiding
his daughters with houses Is an onerous
duty which falls to the lot of etery
paterfamilias, and this tem results in
leaving a tery large jiortlon of the female
population to pass their days in single
blessedness; and where the abote men
tioned matriarchal s)stem is still iu
togue the parents aluajs aspire to ob
tain for their eldest daughter a good
