The Chinese Problem.

CHING HAY VIEW OF THE MATTER.
New YORK, Feb % -The Mail and
Express publishes the following iater-
view with Ching Hay, the Chinese
consul III this city, based on the st.
LoHis despatch saying that the Chm
eseimperlal government contemplateS
retaliatory measures on account of
the treatment accorded to the Chinese
subjects IN this country. st cannot
say thst I am advised that an imper-
ial proclamation has been issued
compelling all chlnamen In
this country to return home, but I
can say that the consul general st San,
Francisco has sent cut notices advis-
ing all Cinnamon to leave. Whether
the government is at the back of this
cannot say. As to the suggestion of
retaliation ] have no doubt but what
measures of this kind will be taken by
the government. If the Cinnamon
are driven out and outraged
here, why cnnnot our people
drive out all the Americans from
China? The good fame of this cum
try has been disgraced by the recent
outrages. and the question has become
very serious. There is no protection
to Cinnamon at all, but American
merchants and missionaries ere we'll
treated in China, and whenever i'll
treated the government takes prompt
action, pot only IN paying dam
ages. but also in redrsssing the wrong
doLe. What I don't understand is
why the good people of the east here
remain silent. 1t certainly was not
the intention of congress that mer-
chants and others should be treated
IN this way. If nothing is done, the
commerce between the two countries,
amounting to $80,000,000 annually,
will be destroyed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28.-An AS
ISOLATED Press representative called at
the Office Of the Chinese consul gen
eral to-day to ascertain the origin of
the published report that he had issued
q proclamation advising the Chinese to
return home. The consul generals Sec
rotary emphatically denied that such
q proclamation had been issued, and
stated that Chinese Consul Bee had
made arrangements with the steam
ship companies to carry the poor, sick
and unemployed Chinese back to
China for four trips at half rates. No
tees concerning this were sent re-
questing the Chinese g tel
tage of these cheap rates,
facts probably gave rise to ~
mentioned report.

PhzsIeians Have Found out

That communicating and foreign element in the
b GOD. developed by Indigestion, is the cause OF
rheumatism. This settles upon the sensitive
sub-cutaneous covering of the muscles and liga-
ments of the joints, causing constant and shifting
deg,os which produces stiffness and distortion Of
the joints. No fact which experience has dem
onstrated 10 regard to Hostetters Stomach Bit
namely, that this medicine of Comprehensive
uses checks the formidable and atreciouS disease,
nor is 1t less positively established that it is pre-
ferable to the poisons often used to arrest it,
since the medicine contains only saIutary in
gradients. 1t is also a signal remedy for malar-
ial fegerS, constipation, dyspepsia, kidney and
bladder ailments, debility and other disorders
See that you get the genuine.

IN order to take away ink spots
from paper it is customary TO use q
blotter which freely soaks up the
liquid, and if by these means all
traces of the ink do not disappear, re
course is had to a salt Or some sub
stance having the property of bleach
ing paper, for instance oxalate of
potassium, ETC., to attain this end, A
simple modification Of this renders
still better services. Take thick
blotting paper or board, steep it sew
eral times in a solution Of oxalic acid
or oxalate of potassium. Then dry it.
IF there is a spot to be taxed away,
apply the blotter, which has been
prepared in this fashion, TO the same.
In proceeding thus, the ink is entire
ly removed. The blotter drinks ur
the ink, and whitens the paper at The
same time.

Bee.Hunting in Australia.

The native of Australia adopts pecu-
liar method for discovering wild honey.
He knows that bees never wander very
far from home, seldom more than two
miles, and he also knows that when
bee is laden with honey it makes, as
nearly as possibly, a straight line for
home.
All that is necessary, then, is tn find
bee that is well laden, and follow it.
But that is more easily said than done,
Any boy who has tried to follow the big
and gay-colored humble bee to its nest
knows how great task it is But that
is a mere trifie to following the sober lit
tie honey bee, which can be LIST against
a gray colored hillside.
lin order to be followed the bee must
nave distinguishing mark that can be
easily seen; and with such badge the
Australian provides it. He gums small
tuft of white cotton to the bees back, and
thus follows it with comparative case. q.
But the question now comesup, how is
the cotton to be put upon the bees backl
The gum is quickly found-it is on al
most any tree; the cotton grows right at
hand. The bee, too, is found in almost
any sweet flower. buried head first in the
dusty pollen, drinking in the nectar, and
showing quite plainly whether its honey
sac is full or empty. 1t moves little in
its eager haste to secure the delicious Ii
quid, but perhaps quick dab will fasten
the cotton on its back. Do not try it.
AS the little boy told his mother, the bee
is very ''quick kicker"
Watch the Australian-and he is q
very stupid fellow, too, in most things.
He fills his mouth with water, has his
snowy tuft of cotton ready gummed, finds
his bee, gently drenches 1t with water
spurted from his mouth, pi' ks itup while
it is still Indignantly shaking itself free
from the water which clogs its wings,
and with dexterous touch he afixes in
an instant the tell-tale cotton.
Very much out Of patience, no doubt,
with the sudden and unexpected rain
storm, the bee rubs off the tiny drops
from its wings, tries them, Tubs again,
and soon-buzzl buzz! away it goes, I'M
consciously leading destruction and pill
lage to its happy homes. Nicholas.
