President w. A. P. Martin, of the
Royal Tung Weng college. China, writes
with the experience of long residence in
the Celestial Kingdom, about the sup
posed danger of China's competition
with Western nations. He finds no
menace in the Chinese, and he points
out the astonishing fact that there are
great provinces of Chinese territory vet
so sparsely settled that they are making
efforts to induce immigrants.

Mikes Famous Sign

Every body has heard the
story of Mikes sign. Mike
had an elegant sigu painted
and hung out in front of his establish
ment, says the New Haven Register,
and as he was standing in rapt admira-
ton of its beauties. he was approached
by an acquaintance, when the following
conversation occurred:
Hello. Mixer
''Hello!''
"Got new signp'
"Oi have
but what do you mean by saving
fresh fish sold hereP' Sure, everybody
knows your store is here, not in Hobo
KEN"
Faith an yure right" and he rub
bed out the word "here.' Then along
came another friend.
"MorniA', Miker'
chow are yez?''
"New signP"
''Oi have"
''But it isn't right"
"What's wrong wild it?"
Grub out the word fresh everybody
knows your fish are not stale.''
Its large head yez have on. Oi'll
do it, and a daub of the brush elimina-
ted the word While he stood gazing at
his own handwork another friend came
along.
Sure; you're paintin' is all wrong,
Miker'
"Arrah, go long wild yez. What's
wrongP'
your sign reads fish sold,' Every
body knows you sell fish. Nobody ex-
poets you to give 'em away. Rub out
the word sold.' -
"Sure, an you're right. too, and out
went the word. This was no sooner
said than along came another man.
''Phat's this Oh see? Fish? Whoy Mike,
plat the devil have yez that word there
fur? Sure. every body knows yez sell
fish, and not cigars or boots and shoes.
Rub it out it's useless?"
Faith Oh WILL said Mike. and the
last remaining word on the sign disap-
peared.
The veracious historian who records
this time-honored story abruptly stops
right here, but we have private advices
from the sheriff, who soon came into
possession of the vacillating Mikes BUSH
ness, that after the fish merchants fail
ure he only paid 2 cents on the dollar to
! his creditors.

RECENT legislation has done much to
raise the standard of the United States
army, and to place it where those de-
string more practical training than
can he acquired in the militia can do
so without stigma of a bum. References
are now required from applicants which
bars out the shiftless who enlist from no
other motive than board and clothes
with tendency to desert at the first
intimation OF stern duty. Another pro-
vision gives a soldier the privilege of
purchasing his discharge after one
years service, and if three years and
three months of faithful service has been
rendered he can secure his discharge
upon application. Thus doing away
with definite unalterable term that
would deter many whose other interests
might unexpectedly suffer through en-
forced absence. Under present rules
the army should become more an in
sLitution of the people, and the strong
contrast between it and the militia
gradually disappear.

A PRESIDENTS message necessarily
follows certain rules of construction
1t treats of the management of the gov
eminent; its finances and prosperity; its
relations both internal aud with foreign
countries; the policy pursued in its diff
erent departments and the effect on
general trade, every thing is brought to
the attention of congress in concise and
comprehensive manner. But it is the
comments. suggestions and recommen-
dations of the chief executive as super
visor over all that marks the man of
ability. and President Harrison's mes
sage delivered to congress last Monday
bears favorable comparison with any of
our presidents. OF especial interest at

the Mckinley bill. silver coinage and
the general prosperity incidental to
both, of reciprocity, the election bill and
other important legislation pending

lightly cast aside and this strong paper

Most mournful of these sad female figures
of bygone royalty is that OF the mad EN-

personages of Europe. She has unbounded

her own intellect, and it will be interesting
to note in what new aspect she will one day
