A High-Toned Merchant.

The Chinese are remarkable for
their business talent. So sharp and
clever are they, that some one has
named them the "Ysnkess of the
Fact" Ii one respect. they excel
not only the Yankess, but all the
people of the United States. They
carry on their Government on busi-
ness principles, just 40 X. manage a
cotton factory or railroad.
Two thousand years ago they
formed thar civil service on the
basis that "mer,. only, established
by public examinations, gives the
right to every public sfiics."
England, initiating the Chinese,
some fifteen years ago, slevated her
civil service 20 similar plane. The
United States, however, ID still in
the slough from which The Chinese
extricatsd themselves long before
our ancestors wore accent clothing.
Another custom of this peculiar
people il worthy of the imitation of
the "outside bsrbsrians." 1t 10 said
that before New Years Day-which
occurs en- the Goth of January
every Chinaman who values his
reputation pays all his debts. What
value Chinese Z. erchant puts on
his reputation, may be learned from
a suggestive story.
During tho troubles which pre-
ceded the war with England, the
Chinese Vicsroy, Yo, issued an edict
coRdemning to death every native
convicted of holding the slightest
intercourse with the "barbArians."
