Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New York, explains some very iuterest- ing facts about Major's cement. The inultitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hundred per ceot. better than otber cements for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not know why, The simple reason is that Mr Major nses the best materials ever discovered and other man- ufacturers do not use them, because they are to expensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Majur tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs 88.75 a pouod, and another cost $2.65 a gallon while a large sbare of the su called ce. ments and liquid glue, upon the market are unthing more than 16 cent gine, di- Solved in water or citric acid, and in some cases, altered slightly to color and fodor by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's oement retails at fil- teen and twenty-five ceota a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substi- tute you can depend upon it that bis ouly object ix to make a larger profit. "The profit ou Major's cement is as much as any dealer ought to make on any ce- ment. And this is doubly true in view of the fact that each dealer gets hia share of the benefit of Mr. Major's advertising which now amounts to 83000 a month, throughout the country. Established

Only recent- Rheumattam ly has it been real- ized, however, that many cases of rheumatism which give rise to heart complications really ruu so mild a course that they are not suspected of helng serious and are neglected. This, says a medical authority. is especially true in cases which attack the very young. In chioren rheuma- tism often masquerades under the name of "growing pains." In infants it often fails completely of recogni- tion. It has become the custom t a lamentable degree to give for It the coal-tar derivatives, the various anti- Ivretic drugs. anti-pyrine, phenace- t'ne and the like. besides various

STORY OF WING FONG.

(AN a Chinaman ever be civilized!" asked the New York man in a gen- era! way atter the little group in the Broad- way hotel had discussed the situation in China on the hams of every rumor that could be remembered.

"He can." said the man from Fremont, Neh., confidently; "he was."

The others waited in the questioning si- lence that follows 60 bold a declaration and finally the Frifront man went on: "When he came to Fremont in 1877 he called himself Wing Fong and wore blue bur ap clothes and a pigtail. Inside of a vem he had prefixed 'Jo" to his name and cut h s hair, and bis clothes were the latest Fremont style. I was county clerk in 1880. The town was more or less torn up over the presidential. campaign and Jo got to going it strong for 'Glafiel' and, well, won'dn't attempt to tell you how he pro. nounced 'Arthur,' with all its r's. At any rate he strolled into my office one day and said :

""Me want votee Glafiel, savee? Makee me Melican man allee same. I gotee tlee dolla; you makee me Me,ican man.' "'Oh,' 1 said, 'you want to he natural- ized ?'

" 'Allee same, allight,' said he; "bully fo lou. You gimme leceipt can vote, I give you lee dolla."

"Jo was the only Chinaman in town and everyhody humored him. I got him a natu malization application blank and he signed it with bis mark. Then I dauhed some seal- ing wax on it and stamped it. 'Never mind the money, Jo,' I said, 'this is a free coun try.

" "Much blige,' said Joe, 'you dlop in nunly some time, I set 'em up.'

"After this Jo Wing Fong became the chief object of interest in Fremont. O course everybody heard that he had been 'naturalized.' The democrats tried to con. tert him to Hancock, but he said 'me le publican allee time,' and he was. A Ger man friend of his named Schrager taught him 'Yankee Doodle' and the 'Star Spangled Banner,' and be used to sing them in a voice like a Chinese fiddle at republican ratifica- tion meetings, to the great joy of himself and all the rest.

"On election day Jo got up at five in the morning and went over to wake Schrager up to go and vote, Schrager wouldn't get up then and Jo sat on the porch three hours and waited for him. After they had voted, Jo locked up his laundry; went to the livery stable, hired a horse and huggy and drove ahout all day,

"Some time after this Jo took it into his head that, to still further carry out his plan of becoming a "Melican man," he ought to join the fire department, so he went around to the engine house (hand engine), and found the man that polished the hrass and took care of the hook and ladder, made his application.

all right, and in a week or so Jo aston. Ished the natives hy marching down street in the red shirt and white cotton gloves which constituted the main portion of a Fremont fireman's uniform.

"In those days the town had one fire hell -an ancient ringer that had been discarded by a church hecause it was cracked. It was mounted at the top of a scaffolding shaped like the pedestal of Liberty in the harbor here, and the rope hung down al. most to the ground, where even a child could reach it. The plan was, of course, that the fellow who discovered a fire should rush to the bell and give the alarm.

"One night about ten o'clock the bell began ringing as though it had just heard of the Chicago fire. There was no tolling to it, but just 'eling.elang-ci.ng-clang,' like the bells on a city ambulance. Most ol the town tumbled out of bed and came mishing to the place. There they saw Jo Wing Fong puiling the rope frantically and yelling like a demon.

'W'bere's the fire, Jo!" came the breath less chorus.

" 'Ain' no flia,' said the Chinaman, drop. ping the bell rope. 'Stlange man beatee ma unt two bit laundry hill; lun away like i devil. 1 lingee bell, callec p'lice allee wamee Melican minn.'

"The next step in the civilization WAR his romance. His laundry was next door to the New York hotel, and among the help there was Bridget O'Doolihan or words to that effect, with pink cheeks, blue eyes, townley hair andq blarney. She began by using the blarney on Jo, and then she went further and used her eyes, and finally she promised in marry hima I don't suppose there waf ever a lover. native or foreign-born. who

washing through his teeth he looked at solemn as one of the fountain lions that sends & hig stream from its iron lips, and the minute anyhody tried to joke with him he'd look pained and turn away.

"He got some remarkable ideas about the duty which he and Bridget owed to Fre- mont society. One day my wife heard a knock wbile at work in the kitchen, and when she opened the door there stood Jo and his fiancee. Jo explained what every gossip in town knew (with no offense to my wife, you understand) that he and Bridget were to he married. He said he thought that heing engaged to him, she

ought not to work longer in a hotel-that she ought to have a quiet place in some nice, respectable family. For this reason he was going to take her around to his 'Melican lady flin's * and see what could he done.

" +What's your opinion of the matter? my wife inquired of Bridget.

" "I think the mon's right,' she replied. The hotel's no place fer the likes o' me wid everyone knowin' I'm about to marry wid this young haythen,' and sbe slyly pinched his arm.

"So it was arranged that Bridget sbould come to work for us, and there she stayed till they were married hy a justice of the peace in our sitting-room. There was no kink in the ceremony except that when the justice said: 'Do you, Jo Wing Fong! Jo interrupted with 'Melican man' and pos. itively refused to 'take Bridget for his wedded wife' until the justice had repeated the words in the place indicated.

"The bappy couple went to live in the rear of the laundry, and that ended the civilization of Jo Wing Fong except the finishing touch."

The Fremont man having a pretty tact at the effective in ending a story, paused bere

After a moment's silence, >omehody asked: "And what was the finishing touch 94

"Well, I moved away from Fremont shortly after the wedding and didn't see Jo Wing Fong again for two years, Then one day as I was returning to town I met him on a train.

" "Ilow are you, Jo,' I asked, as I settled in the seat with him. "How's business and how's Mrs. Jo!"

"Jo ignored everything hut the refer- ence to his wife. "Blidget alligbt, ' he said, proudly. "Me getee devorce, pay flourteen dolla' month alimony, allee samee Melican man.'"-N. Y. Sun.
