Puntshment Of Chinese OfficIals.

The director general in China suggested
that the officers in charge of the Yellow
River works who showed remissness in
not taking precautionary measures to
prevent the recent floods be degraded, but
this was deemed too light punishment,
and they were ordered to be exposed in
the cangue along the river banks. The
SUD project and mayor OF Slang an, the
assistant department magistrate Of Cheng-
Chou, and the lieutenant and second ser
geant Of the station below Cheng- Chou
were thus punished.
The cancue, or wooden collar, which
these un 'ortunate officials are condemned
to wear, is large, heavy square of wood,
opening so rs to allow the prisoners neck
to enter. From the time it is put on it is
not removed till the term of the sentence
has eXpireda time varying from a fort
night to three months. During the whole
time the prisoner cannot lie down or rest
with any comfort, and during the day is
placed in Il conspicuous place, with his
name and ofiense written in large charuc-
tiers on the great wooden collar that all
passers by may read. The compassionate
people occasionally feed the victim, as it
is impossible for him to reach his head
with his hand; but the gamins tickle him
with strnys and otherwise annoy him

perse.ie the time worn combination Of blue

An EfTecttyp Adycrtisem emf.

The desperate straits to which travelling
theatrical companies are driven to devise
original advertising lodges, since the
perambulatiug street band has ceased to
be novelty, is evidenced by the fact that
one manager in the west has organized
his men into baseball nine. The adj
vance agent manages for n game with a
local nine on the afternoon of the arrival
of the company. II there is no baseball
club in the community, a scrub nine is
selected and uniforms are loaned them by
the manager, who carries two sets for just
such an emergency. The Thespians
always allow the local nine to beat them
as an inspiration to local pride. The COM
pany generally only plays one night in
each place, but If there is a second night
return game is announced for the next
Afternoon. The dodge is found to be q
most effective advertisement, and the
company has played to uniformly good
business at popular prices New York
