Political Honors in China.

Wong Chin Foo in Harper's Magazine for July.
In order to secure even the first fruits O
political emolument a mode of procedure
Numerically opposite to that which obtains
in most nations, and especially in the United
States, is required. Instead of money or its
equivalent in "backers" and "heelers," brain
is there required, and an exceedingly well.
balanced and disciplined brain at that Ir
10 other nation upon the earth are political
honors based upon scientific attainments in
all branches of study as they are in China
wherein are illustrated the true principles
by which talent and wisdom are honored
and rewarded, literature, science, morals and
philosophy encouraged, and nations hap
piness and prosperity secured.
The avenues to station and power are open
alike to all. There are no distinctions save
those of education; none relative to nation
ality, color, or previous condition of servi-
tude. All are alike free to seek, and if COM
petent, to obtain, positions of honor, from
that of petty magistrate of village to
Grand Imperial Secretary-an Office second
only to that of Emperor.
Few there are, it is true, who possess the
fortitude to undergo the necessary educa-
tional training consequent to, and upon
which depends, his sole hope of success. Of
his studies there is no end. To diligence he
must add patience and to patience continu-
ity, else will he fail to secure the coveted
prize.

Cincinnati's Nickname.

The nickname Of Porkoplis is of English
origin, and was the brilliant inspiration of a
sponsor who never saw Cincinnati In the
year 1926 there fourished in the Queen City
gentleman named Jones. He was the
President of the United States Branch Bank,
and was locally known as Bank Jones'"
The pork trade had already taken such pro-
portions as to arouse the enthusiasm of
Bank JONES'" and in a succession of letters
he dilated upon the prosperity of the pork
prospects of the Queen City. The letters
were addressed to the Liverpool correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati bank, and this gentle
mans imagination at length became fred by
Bank Jones'" enthusiasm. In moment of
wild generosity he hied himself to the
studio of some Liverpudian Thorwaldsen,
and ordered the construction of what is set
down in the annals as "a unique pair of
model hogs" These noble effigies were
made of papier mashe, and were sent to Gin
cinnati as present, accompanied by the
inscription-destined in part to become
famous-"To Mr.. George W. Jones, as a
worthy representative of Porkopolis." The
hogs have still local habitation and
name" They add to the burden of life in
the Office of one of the largest slaughterers
of Cincinnati, having passed by inheritance
from Bank Jones" down, from hand to
hand, among the pork monarchs of Porkopo-
lis for nigh upon half a century.

Possible Industries.

What can do to make little money
and help along?" says girl to her mother
| Doubtless many good girl has asked her
self the same question. Small crops, low
prices, the failing health Of the parents, and
little prospect of marrying rich, has prob
ably caused her to inquire whether there
was a chance for a clerkship in store, a
position in telegraph Office, or vacant case
in a printing Office. Listen. while an older
person whispers to you something that can
be done around this town. There are about
5000 heads, mems and boys that wear
hats. Not one is manufactured here. They
are all brought from the Eastern States,
where busy hands are now braiding and
sewing the hats for next years wear. It can
be done here as well as there. Go to the
wheat field that is just beginning to turn
yellow and get a supply of straw-whatever
you think you want. Select the longest and
smoothest joints and dry them in the shade.
For making coarse, durable hat for every
day wear, the straw needs no splitting This
can be braided in seven. nine or eleven
strand braid. Dampen the straw when you
use it. Any old lady who was raised in the
older States will show you how to braid, sew
and press the hat You will plobably make
one, not very good looking, the first day, but
your father, if he is the man | think he is,
will be glad to wear it as an offering from
his little girl. In few days you will do
better, and probably can make two or three
in day. After awhile you may learn how
to split the straw and make fine work and
get big price for it. There are several
varieties Of the palm leaf that make excel

also several grasses which are good for this

Why jeff Davis Wanted Lieut.. Derby to
BE Court -MartiaIed.

| Washington Letter in the Boston Journal.
The invitations sent of late to naval Off
GERS requesting them to furnish suggestions
for a change of uniforms reminds meas
Mr.. Lincoln would have said-of similar
invitation issued by JEFF Davis when he was
Secretary of War under General Frank
Pierce. One of these invitations was sent to
Lieutenant Derby, a good draughtsman and
a merry wag, who sent in response propo-
sition for having a two-inch iron ring ap-
pended by a piece Of strong leather to the
! seat of each enlisted mans trousers Long
and formal specifications demonstrated the
utility of this ring. Each officer was to
carry, instead of sword, a long white ash
pole, with hook On one end By hooking
into the ring of private, he could be kept
in line of battle if he was disposed to hang
back, or caught if attempted to run away.
The ring would also be useful in the artillery
service for draught purposes and in the cav
airy men could be locked to other rings in
their saddles, and so keep them from falling
Off. The illustrations which accompanied
the specifications represented officers catch
| ing infantry stragglers and forcing them into
the ranks; dragons padlocked to their sad
dies, and artillerymen with cannon-prolongs
hitched to their rings, hauling huge pieces of
artillery up steep heights.
1t was very funny, and the clerks in the
War Department enjoyed some hearty
laughs over it, but when it reached the Sec
retary he became indignant and regarded it
as an insult He ordered charges and speci-
fcations to be drawn up, and court-martial
was already ordered, when it came to the
ears of Governor Marcy, then Secretary Of
State, who was level-headed and advised
Davis to let the matter drop. He might
convict Derby and dismiss him from the
service, but he would be laughed at from one
end of the country to the other. Davis took
the advice, and Derby's suggestions" are
still to be found on the files Of the War De-
partment

Race and Color.
Lecture by E. B. Taylor. in Nature.

| Lecture by E. B. Taylor in Nature.
1t is now well understood that the causes
of race color are not so simple as Hippocrates
thought when he described the nomad Scy-
thians as burned tawny by the cold. But
the study of anthropologists is still to notice
| the character which mark off the white, yel-
low, brown and black races, and to connect
Herewith the effects of climate and mode of
| life. The analogy of fair or blonde skin to
partial albinism is striking, and possibly
points to some similarity of cause. A book
has even been written by DR.. Poesche to ex-
plain thus the formation of the white race.
The fair whites, according to this author, are
semi-albinos, whose ancestors were once a
browner race in North Asia, but turned fair
in the swampy regions of the Dnieper,
where men and beasts grow light in color,
horses gray, the leaves Of the trees PALE and
all nature dull and colorless. Such imagina-
tive speculation is an example to be avoid
ed by anthropologists, and yet the resem-
blance of blonde to semi-albino skin is one
which when worked out by careful obseva-
ton will doubtless lead to discovery. A yet
more striking case of the morbid appearance
of the race character is seen in "bronzed
skim" symptom of "Addison's disease"
Here the resemblance to mulatto complexion
is so marked that in the reports of cases it
is quite regular thing for the physician to
mention that he had asked the patient if he
was of negro blood Even that well known
negro feature, the comparatively light tint
of palms and soles, was there, though there
was wanting one of the points which anthro-
biologists look to when they suspect negro
ancestry, namely, the yellowness OF what we
characteristically call the white" of the eye.
1t is not, however, on merely superficial
comparison that this analogy depends. An
thropologists unfortunately do not always
hear of medical work bearing on their
studies, and it is but lately that I learned
from DR.. Wilson Fox that an interesting
microscopic section of "bronzed skin" was
published years ago by Mr.. Hutchinson in
the Pathological Transactions All who COM
pare this with Kolliker's section of normal
negro skin must admit the extraordinary
similarity Of coloration, in the manner in
the manner in which the deep brown pig
ment cells and grain lines Of the surface of
papillse Of the deImis or true skin. I shall
not be charged with propounding here
theory that black men are white men thus
transformed. for, indeed, one incident Of the
obscure disease in question is that the patient
always dies The importance of the COM
parison lies in it's bridging oyer the physio-
logical differences of race, by showing that
morbid action may bring about in one race
results more or less analogous to the normal
type in another.

OPIUM.
The Enervating Drug in a New Form
for those Who Smoke 1t.
San Francisco CALI

San Francisco CALL
There are few personi outside of those in
police circles and dealers in articles con-
sumed by opium users that are aware how
widespread is the use Of this noxious drug
in San Francisco. Druggists can tell of the
numerous calls for it in liquid and powdered
forms, and the police have only partial
knowledge of the number of places where
opium smoking is surreptitiously carried on.
Cigarettes impregnated with the fumes of
the drug have long been sold, and id this
way the habit of opium smoking has often
been unconsciously acquired. If the several
forms mentioned in which the drug is made
to supply the demand were not enough. an
other and more insinuating, and at the same
time as innocent in appearance as any, has
been introduced Probably some Of the
readers of this article have recently seen
small, elegantly made boxes, an inch or an
inch and half wide by two inches long,
filed with the tiniest of cigars-toy cirgars
they look like-much better made than the
larger article. If curiosity had prompted
an investigation, these little cigars would
have been found to have been made of the
best tobacco and very fragrantly scented.
These small specimens Of the cigar makers
craft are the new form in which the appe-
tite of opium smoking is INDUCED in
more open manner than it can be usually
followed by the devotees of the pernicious
habit. Opium is too costly to be mixed
with tobacco of these small cigars, but it is
there, and it is a question if it is not in a
more poisonous shape than when used in the
way Of a liquid such as laudanum, or pow
der, or in the usual pasty form. The tobac-
co-and good tobacco is used-is put in a
brazier and held over burning opium until
the weed is thoroughly impregnated with
the fumes of the drug, and it is question if
it is not stronger thus smoked than when
inhaled direct from the paste. Those who
know the terrible effects of drinking any
thing from a glass smoked" with tobacco
smoke can probably appreciate the strength
Of these innocent-looking small cigars when
saturated with the fumes of opium. These
cigars are not sold by tobacconists, and are
difficult to get even by those who use them.
They are sold on the quiet, it is said, by
Cinnamon, who are strictly mo sabee" to
any one they are not certain of. Two sizes
were shown the writer-one an inch long
and over an eighth of an inch in diameter,
the other nearly half an inch longer and pro-
portionately thicker-both kinds well made.
A small mouth-piece, similar to cigarette
holder, accompanied the box, which con-
tanned fifteen cigars

The Dangers of Ice.
New York Times.

New York Tlmes.]
1t has been repeatedly pointed out that
ice is destroying the American race. The
ice-water that is universally drunk by
Americans who believe themselves to be
temperate, chills the stomach, renders diges-
ton impossible, and makes the consumer a
hopeless dyspeptic, even if it is not respon-
sible-as many persons believe it to be-ior
that almost exclusively-American malady,
Brights disease of the kidneys. But there
is another evil wrought by ice in this
country, of which no notice has yet been
taken The practice of preserving food on
ice is rapidly demoralizing the American
palate, and rendering us, as nation, inca
pable of dining like civilized beings.

Throughout this world Of God;
Their glow DER field and mountain streams,
And wanders all abroad.
The trusting stream slips by its shore,
And rushes on apace.
Hear ye the brisk winds joyous roar
1t sweeps from place TO place.
BY trust the moon goes near and wide,
The sun goes wide and near,
Peeps DER the mount and sinks in tide,
Nor tire in their career.
Good people, We who sit at home
And never gaze abroad,
Rouse up and through the greensward roam
seek tracts by you untrod.
Who knows where bliss for you may bloom?
Go you and seek the place,
Or morning fees, and evenings gloom
Soon hides from you the trace.
Let sorrow and foreboding go;
The heavens yet are blue;
Joy ever alternates with woe,
Yet believe that joy is true.
SO far as all the skies enzone,
Loves wondrous blessings thrive,
And every heart obtains its own,

Thanks for the increase of all our lands.
I'VE give Thee thanks for the corn and oil,
Thanks for the fruitage that comes of toll;
Thanks for the mercies we cannot name,
The ills that went and the joys that came.
And brethren, now, ere we rise and sing.
Let thank the Lord for the dearest thing
The one among all our blessings rare
For which the most in our hearts we care;
Search We brethren, in mind and thought
For the one great gift that the year has brought
Amen. :" cries Boaz, with voice of youth;
But the parson stares, for he looks at Ruth.
