YOUR HOME AND FENCES.
No Man Can Conveniently Go Without Either
of These Necessities.
You may as well talk about going
without , eating as going without
fences. If you have a house and
home you must have a fence around
it. If you have a farm you must
mark its boundaries bv fences, , and
also shut in the stock with fences.
A fence is in many ways as import
ant as a man's house. As a commun
ity grows the subject of fences assumes
more and more prominence.
. The success of. the Anchor fence
in the United States has been phe
nomenal for the chief reason that it
combines economy, strength and
beauty in a way that instantly ap
peals to everybody. In the Eastern
states , where it has been known Ion
ger, tne lactones mating it are
pressed to full capacity. In this
state, where it is comparatively new,
its widespread adoption seems to be
only a question of the agents getting
around and showing their wares to
the people.
There is ample reason for all the
talk - going on about the "anchor'
fence, as it is solving the great fence
problem satisfactorily. It is not only
well adapted to ornamental vork,
but it is the biggest kind of a blessing
to stock raisers and ranchmen gener
ally. It is made of heavy wire and
the joints are held rivet-tight by -the
patent "anchor" clamps. . It does
not cost as much as the old-fashioned
fences, yet it lasts practically forever.
It is worth anyone's while to write
to the manufacturers, The Portland
Anchor Fence Co., 742, Nicolai Street
Portland, Oregon, for catalogue and
pictures explaining their wonderful
fence. -Alas
for Aspirations!

CHINESE OF PEKIN. I
SOLDIER WRITES OF THEIR LIFE
AND OCCUPATIONS.
They Are Industrious, Working- Hard
for Little Pay Lack Tools for Cul
tivating tbe Laud Police of the City
and Their Characteristics. ' .
The subjoined extracts from a pri
vate letter from George L. DeForest of
this city, who Is a member of Company
B lu the Ninth Regiment, will be read
with interest:
"So yon would like to peek in this
sacred city and see what my surround
ings are? I think In one of my former
letters I gave a short description of the
city of Pekin, and perhaps a little gos
sip In regard to the people who inhabit
It may be acceptable. In the first place,
the - rich 'Chinks' wear costly silks,
while the poor ones are glad to wear
cotton. Numerically in this city the
proportion of rich to poor is about one
in a thousand, so you can see that cot
ton is king .so far as the poor are con
cerned, and I am told that, although
the soil is very productive, there is
hardly enough cotton raised to supply
the demand. .. This is due, in great
measure, to the lack of tools In culti
vating it and poorer machinery for cur
ing when harvested, as everything here
is done by hand.
"The Chinese are the most industrt
ous people I ever saw, especially the
women. These latter are never idle.
They are great gossips, but do not neg
lect their work on that account, and it
is a common thing to see them chat
ting in the narrow alleyways between
their houses, but always at ' work,
either turning their reels or stitching
shoe soles, which find a ready sale, for
a Chinaman who went barefoot would
be uterly disgraced. Why, even the
beggars here wear shoes, although the
rest of their apparel may be ever so
scanty.
Another thing worthy of mention is
the fact that nothing is wasted in this
land of the 'Chinks.' Grass and all
kinds of roots are pulled up, washed
and dried, and used for fuel. Scraps of
paper and cloth are pasted together to
make the insoles of shoes, and bits, of
wood are glued together to build up
either a post or a board. The woman
spinners and straw platers earn 2 tents
day. This may seem small pay, but
not so when I tell you that I am in
formed that $5 a year will clothe a
Chinaman and his wife. Such a thing
as underwear is not known by them,
neither is a garment ever fitted, and a
Utiea dressmaker would ; starve to
death here. The only measures that
are taken are from the hip to the
ground. Fashions never change. Take
two or three yards of material, sew It
together, run a tape through the top,
and haul it together, and you have the
dress made.
The 'Chinks' are very economical,
and I guess you will think that they
have need to be when I tell you that
the unskilled laborers are only paid
upon an average of 7 cents a day, Ma
sons, carpenters and stonemasons are I
the king-pins here in labor circles, re-
ceivlng the munificent sum of 25 to 30
cents a day. The work day here be
gins at sunrise and lasts- until dark,
but notwithstanding all this the labor
ers seem contented and happy.
So much in regard to tbe people, and
now perhaps a few words in regard to
the officials of the city, particularly the
policemen, may Interest you. In the
first place, a Chinese policeman is a
wonderful creation; in fact, a cross be
tween a circus clown and a football
player.-. His breeches are always baggy
and heavily wadded; in fact, so clumsy
that you wonder how In the world be
ever gets around in them. He also'
wears a coat which is thick and clumsy
and comes well below the knee. Dark-
blue Is the general color, which Is set
off with facings and bands of light
blue, red, green,' maroon and brown,
but no yellow Is ever used, for that Is
the sacred royal color, and no one but
those of high rank are allowed to wear
it. Policemen are thicker than huck
leberries in this city of Pekin, there
being, it Is said, between 15,000 and
20,000 of them within the walled city,
This walled city is two miles square
iind has two great gates in each wall
base, about half a mile from the cor
ners, and a mile from each other. The
streets are broad and stretch straight
from one to the other, making the
space Inside into a big nine-block. The
police stations are scattered all along
the nine squares. The head of the
police has charge of all the city gates,
they being nine in number. The po
licemen never carry any arms, ; not
even a stick, but keep swords, spears,
guns and cutlasses In racks at the sta
tion, and when a signal gun is fired
make a rush for the station from
which the sound comes and grab the
first weapon in sight When on parade
or when they have a review, which Is
quite often,- is the only time they are
armed, especially If they expect any
foreign devils to be present. The
weapons are funny looking, particular
ly a savage looking three-hooked spear,
which makes a terrible, jagged wound.
"Besides he 20.000 policemen within
the -wall, I am informed that Pekin
maintains 144,000 more . to regulate
matters in the outer city. ,. All these
men are untier tne command of one
head officer. The officers and the men
furnish their own uniforms, but the
state furnishes their arms, and' each
gets, a monthly allowance of rice in
addition to his pay. . The ehfef gets a
good salary, but those under him get
little pay, depending mostly for what
they can squeeze out of the prisoners
whom they pull in." TJtlca. Press.

CHEAP TRAVEL IN DENMARK.
Price of Tickets Is Governed by the
. Time Consumed on Journeys.
Denmark was absolutely the pioneer
In cheap railway fares. The fares were
reduced all around, so that the longer
the distance the greater the reduction.
but at the same time the return ticket
system was abolished for jourueys
within Denmark.
One of the greatest boons to business
men and holiday-makers Is the so-called
fortnightly ticket For third class it
costs 22s 3d and for second class 1 15s
6d. Such a ticket entitles the holder to
travel all over Denmark for a term
of 14 days. He can go wherever he
cares to go and as many times over
the same route as he may wish within
the time paid for namely, fourteen
days. A holiday-maker may visit every
place of interest In Denmark during
that time and if he finds any Dleasnrc

posit of $1.37 for the ticket, on which
a photograph of the holder is pasted.
and at the expiration of the 14 days
he returns the ticket and gets the $1.37
deposit back.
He can also buy a ticket for a month
which costs 50 per cent more, and the
longer the time the greater the reduc
tion. While a fortnightly ticket costs
5.56, a twelve-month ticket costs $50.
If the passenger had to pay for
twelve-month ticket at the rate of $5.56
per fortnight It would cost him $133.50.

If instead of paying for a fortnightly
ticket a traveler went from Eshjerg
to Copenhagen and back as often as
he could within 14 days and bought or

would be doubled 1n a fortnight if he
went sightseeing from one place to an

pie spaces of a country home. I took
a hall bedroom because it was the only
room In the house I could afford. It
had in it a cot, covered in day with an
Oriental' tapestry; a washstand, a
screen, a shelf curtained off with books
beneath for clothes; a looking-glass on
the wall, with a little stand beneath.
two chairs, and a useful piece of furni
ture which was writing desk, bookcase
and dressing case combined. When
my trunk and my typewriter were
added to these treasures I could turn
around with care, by opening, the door
so as to utilize a part of the hall for the
purpose.
My typewriter knocked out tbe little
stand In one round. Could it have sat
still it would have stood the burden.
But I had to move the stand whenever
I wanted to dress, or to get at my trunk,
and as I did not remove the typewriter,
but simply dragged the stand around,
the poor thing quickly collapsed. The
landlady looked severe when I told her.
When I got another stand I carefully
lifted my typewriter off whenever
wanted to move the stand, which was a
dozen times a day.
My dresses were continually falling
from the hooks without, the slightest
provocation, and I had always to move
the screen; and then bring a chair to
stand on to hang them up again. The
only way "I could get any light or air
was to sit by the window; and as my
trunk had a stand there, I had perforce
to sit on the trunk; and a trunk can be

when my very soul loathed the needle.
It was an acrobatlcal feat to dress in
that room in the morning. I never shall
forget some of my maddening struggles
to get into my clothes in two square
feet of space. For six months I never
knew how my back hair looked, for it
was too dark over by the glass to see.
My destructive tendencies came out
strong, for I nulled down first the cur
tains over my clothes, and then those at
the window, pole and all. I had to
keep a good many things In my trunk,
and whenever I wanted to get at them
I had to first remove a mass of books,
papers and manuscript from the lid, or
else open it and let them slide down
behind. I had to sit on my trunk to
play my typewriter, because neither of
the chairs was high enough."
"And so you hate the hall bedroom?"
"Well, no; I don't know that I do,

Fruit Dressings for Shoes.
The best dressing for black leather is
orange juice. Take a slice or quarter
of an orange and rub It thoroughly all
over the shoe or boot and allow it to
dry. Then brush briskly with soft
brush until it shines like a looking
glass. A most convenient dressing for
tan shoes is the Inside of a banana skin.
This is rubbed well and evenly all over
the shoe, and removing all spots and
dirt as well as giving a fine polish,
which last Is brought out by using a
flnannel cloth for wiping dry and an
other clean flannel for polishing. A
slice of lemon is also used as a tat
leather dressing. Patent leather must
never be blacked or polfehed with any
thing but an oiL They are the hardest
kind of shoes to keep in good order. It
Is necessary to take a clean sponge and
clean them from all dirt before apply
ing the oil. It may then be rubbed dry
at once with a flannel or other soft
cloth which will not scratch the patent
finish. Commercial Tribune.
