THE new Chinese treaties have been
received at Washington. They concedc
to the United States the right to limit,
regulate or suspend the immigration of
Chinese ]aborers, when the public
welfare demands such measures. This
government. in return, undertakes to
restrain the opium traffic. Il revision
Of the customs tariff is contemplated.
In regard to mixed courts it is conced-
ed that in all treaty ports mixed cases
will be tried by the official of the de-
fcndrnt's nationality, and the law ad.
ministercd will be that of the officer
who tries the case.
The English ministry have on their
hands ono Of the most difficult problems
of the age in the Irish land question. 1t
isnow surlnised that the real head and
front Of the agitation is in England,
and that the sentiment of the English
middle classes is with the land league.
In case the government comedies, in
whatever manner, the demand to do
away with landlordism in Ireland, the
same upheaval will follow in England,
where the same conditions obtain. The
English masses are not ut all in sym.
pathy with the aristocratic land own
ers. Any attempt by the government
to revolutionize the conditions that
have been established for centuries
must necessarily be 4 delicate business.
The ruling spirits Of the Liberal gov.
eminent look upon the landlord sys-
tenn as a giant evil to he abolished by
any means, fair or foul.

lowing composition on 'The Advantage
Of Being q Boy:
A boy Is generally born when he is
very young, and gets to be a man be-
fore his mother. A boy is not so skit-
tish as girl. He takes mouse, which
would scare his sister half to death,
and ties a string to its tail and swings
it over his head. Then he is in his
glory and laughs at his sister, who is
looking for a knot-hole to hide in. He
wears no lace bibs or corsets, petticoats
or skirts. A boy possesses ten times
more cheek than girl, but If he ever
does any mischief he own up to it with
bright smiling face. Girls are great
deal of trouble to their parents. who
have to keep them until somebody falls
in love and marries them. Nots so with
q boy-he takes care Of horses, works
in the mine and raises a cabin. All
that girls do for exercise is to make
dolls, chemises, and crochet work,

INTENSE COLD.

An investigation, conducted in tht
physical laboratory of Harvard Univer-
sity, has led to the discovery of the re-
markable fact that intense cold can de-
prive magnetized steel bars of nearly all
the magnetism which may have been
impaired to them. The intense cold
was produced by solid carbonic acid.
This fact has an important bearing upon
observations of the magnetic condition
of the earth taken in high latitudes ; for
what appear to be daily and yearly
changes in the earth's magnetism may
be due in large part TO the conditions of
temperature, which affect the magnets
used in the observations. 1t also must
be concluded that the molecular condi
ton of steel is changed by great cold.
WHY NOT,

lowing remark, which must be read very

Syf.fkE or TIE HAND.

There is great significance IN hand
shaking. and many are the methods used
to perform that operation. Some seize

their own. Such is the salutatiOn of the

to the salutation, causing yonr tin""rs
t. tingle with rain: y"u inv"lunta1ly
gaze at the injured hand, expecting IT
To have been compressed into one hurriI,

again, add to this exhibition of iuuScu-
lar power by swinging yuIr hand up

are about to pump you. Some give
you the tips of their fingers; others take
the whole hand Tho most abomiuahlc
hand shaking is that lazy, listleSs oii'r-
ing, giving no pressure, and aVerse t"
receiving any. We have shahrn hands
