ECUADOR is on the upgrade. The alb
clifton of tithes and the establishment
at Guayaquil of an Associated Press are
proofs that it has shaken off the clerical
yoke under which it has suffered for so
long. The first act of the members Of
the new Associated Press was to forward
a telegram to President Flores saying
that to his respect for the constitution
was due the freedom now enjoyed in the
publication of written ideas. The Presi-
dent answered from Quito, congratulate
ing the association and expressing hopes
for its prosperity. The final abolition
of the clerical system of tithing is mere
ly question of time. But negotiations
are in progress and have been aided by
the offer of the Ecuadorian government
to make up for any loss in the clerical
budget which might ensue from the re-
placing of the tithes by a regular system
of taxation.

Servants in Venezuela.

When new servant is engaged, the
employer must instruct her as to the
full extent of her duties on the first
day. That is the sample of all days,
and thereafter she will do exactly what
she did then, and no more. The morn
ing after our arrival at the hotel in Ca
racas | called for glass Of milk while
dressing. On every subsequent morn
ing during our stay glass Of milk was
brought me at precisely the same hour,
without instructions, and although the
servant was told several times that it
was not wanted, she did not appear to
understand, and continued to bring it
just the same. In the hotel were
electric bells. The first day / rang
Tor something, and a certain
boy answered the summons. The next
morning | rang again and again. and no
one responded. Finally ] went into
the dining-room and found there half a
dozen servants. Didn't you hear INV
bell ring?" I asked Isl, senor," was
the reply. "Then why didn't you an
swer it ?" 1.-THE boy that answers your
excellency's bell has gone to market
with the manager" "But you knew he
was not here. and you should have
come in his place." ''No, senior; it is
his occupation to answer your bell. |
answer the bell of the gentleman in the
next ROOM" And this provoking stub
bornness outlasted my indignation. AS
long as I remained in that hotel nv
bell was only answered by the one par
ticular boy. If he was not in [ could
ring for an hour without receiving a re-
Spouse, although the house was full of
other idle servants.

What the Chinese Cannot Under
Stand.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
From some extracts of a letter pub
lished in the Presbyterian Messenger,
we learn that the first major surgical OPP
Grafton performed in Chang-pu by the
Presbyterian missionary was in many
ways a remarkable one. One evening a
beggar with dreadful leg, and in all but
a dying condition was laid by some of
his friends at the door of DR.. Howe's
house and left there. The Doctor had
the patient at once carried to an empty
house belonging to one of our church
members. and there on the morrow, in
the presence of large and wondering
crowd, amputated the limb below the
knee. To the surprise of all, the man
stood the operation well, and has since
greatly improved in general condition.
That the foreign doctor should pay go
much attention to and spend SO much
time and trouble on beggar seems to
have astonished the Chinese. They
cannot understand how anyone should
give himself so much trouble without
being paid for it. | heard one say, as
he was watching the Doctor doing his
work: "Well, the Chinaman would not
do such things" 1t came to our ears
that number of the shopkeepers in
the town were not at all pleased that the
mans life had been saved. They hoped
he would die, for he has been source
of great annoyance TO them. He used
sickening sore, and refused to go away
until they gave him what he demanded
VIZ, 400 cash from the largest shops,
down to so cash from the smaller ones.
There is every probability of his recov-

TEXAS employed her convicts last year
in raising sugar cane and refining the
juice, and they not only supported
themselves, but made $4,000 for the
state. Thereupon the demagogues are
saying that if the business of cane rails
ing is SO profitable the state ought to
withdraw the convicts from it and let
honest industry reap the benefits, as if
honest industry did not reap the bene-
fits of keeping the convicts profitably
employed. If the Texas convicts had
remained idle instead of cultivating
cane, honest industry would have had
to support them. and in addition would
have $50, 900 more to pay in taxes than
it now has.

Cane or Corn

A traveller crossing Kansas saw for the
first time great field of sugar cane, but
mistook it for Indian corn, which il
somewhat resembles. Intending to be
affable, he said to an old farmer sitting
near him in the car:
"That's q fine field of corn, SIR"
"Call it corn up your way, do you"
was the response.
"Why, isn't it? ?"
"Well, it pought be corn, mebbe, !"
said the farmer with a slow smile. cit
mought be corn just as our old cat
mought have been rabbit the time he
was shot fur one"
"How's that?"
swell, old Tom was licking his way
through the wood back OF our house,
one day, as fast as he could cut, and my
son Jake was out with his gun, and shot
him down fur rabbit. When we come
to gibe Jake about it, he says, says he.
We'll, low he mought have showed
more ears"
The traveller laughed heartily as he
glanced again from the car window at
the slender, earless stalks of the sugar
cane, and he laughed again as the farm
er concluded:
"An' jest in the same way, stranger,
that thur cane mought have been corn
lift had contrived to show more ears"

the institution over which he presided

scopes and his important. private library

A FEW Gillian papers lament the fact
that some of their contemporaries
should have openly expressed graf
ification at Bushnell's escape from
Reilly, the New York detective. This
escape, curiously enough, occurred just
at the moment when the CHILEAN gov
eminent was laying before Congress the
project of an extradition treaty with
Belgium. On general princi pies, the
Chilians oppose such treaties, which,
they argue, would furnish them with
extradition cases by the thousand, while
they might never have to demand the
surrender Of single fugitive from JUS
tice on their account.
