A Gallant Young Chinaman.

A Secretary of the Chinese Embassy
in Washington was introduced to
lady, who among other questions asked
him: what virtue do you most highly
prize in your women?"
"The virtue of domesticity," was the
reply.
"Then you do not like your women
to move in society much? ?" she ques-
toned.
"Not at all. Our law even recog-
nizes cause for divorce when a woman
pardon me, mailame-is inquisitive
and talkative."
"Then Iwould be in danger of being
divorced if I lived in China ?" smiling
ly asked the lady.
"The very day that my country would
have the luck to possess womanly be-
ing like you," replied the gallant son
of the heavenly realm, "every cause
for divorce would be removed from the
world. "-Washington Post.

WHEN asked why drunken men SO
often escape injury by accident, ply
stefan said that it was due to lack of
interest in their fate. In falling the
body is limp and lifeless, while that of
a sober man would probably be very
nearly rigid. In case of the latter n
blow upon any part of the body would
be followed by an instantaneous con-
traction of the muscles, having, per.
haps, nearly as much force as the blow
itself. 1t was stated by the physician
that often the sudden and violent con.
Traction of the muscles caused by a
blow, furnished nearly half the force
exerted to produce the fracture of
bone. A drunken mans muscles, it
was explained, would not respond in a
similar way to the shock of a blow,
and he would naturally escape that
element of danger.

ENaL1sHMEN are beginning to learn
that the slick Canadian will bear
watching even more than the cute Yam
kee, of whom they have heard so much
that is bad. "It is a pity" says the
Toronto Mail, "that steps were not
taken long ago to afford young English
men protection from the persons who
advertise that they are prepared for a
consideration to teach the Canadian
method of farming or to provide op.
portunities for emigrants in the colo.

persons in that line of business, but
every Canadian knows that as rule
the business is fraudulent one, eithe,

SOME figures in the current number
of the Century Magazine as to the cost
of gas in Glasgow give an interesting
notion of the cheapness that can be
brought about in that commodity by
increased consumption. The quantity
of illuminating gas sold in Glasgow in
1S69-70 was 1925, 900, 900 feet and the
price was $1.14 per 1000. In 1888
the amount sold was 2,427, zoo, 900 feet,
an increase of 40 per cent, while the
population had only increased 20 pei
cent. The increase is explained by
the fact that the price was reduced in
the last named year to &C cents per
1000. The gas companies in this
country might learn something from
this if they would.

NEW York, March Nowhere outside
Of the German empire has the result Of the
recent elections been regarded with greater
interest than here in New York. The IN
expected strength developed by the social
ISIS. who have doubled their vote Of three
years ago and succeeded in placing the
government or Cartel party in the minority,
was explained yesterday by a prominent
ex-official of the German civil service, now
resident IN New York.
1.-TWO causes" he sand, shave combined
70 help the socialists this time; the attitude
Of the emperor on the labor question, aud
tine widespread dissatisfaction among the
thousands of petty civil service officials in
Berlin and other large cities. Il is not
alone the laborers who are socialists; the
clerks in the various bureaus, the telegraph
ers. pOstoffice mon, railroad employees, and
the mining clerks are in sympathy With
the socialists almost to a man, although till
now they have been deferred from an open
acknowledgement of their support. The pay
of these men in Germany is something
pltiful; $3.50 a year would be a very big
average, and out of that sum they have to
pay various taxes to the government. An
official VINO is fortunate enough TO draw
salary of say 5000 marks will be taxed very
nearly 20 per cent, il you include income
tax, class tax, and other assessments. The
government inspects all the pay-rolls
Of the corporations, and it is a
great hard'h on poor clerks and
letter carriers who are living
from hand-to-mouth, and whose wives are
compelled to take in washing or sewing, to
find big slice of their income melt away
in taxes. Now, as the government controls
nearly all the mines, railways and tele-
graphs, as well as many big enterprises,
such as railway palace car companies, etc. !,
the number of civil service employees is
very large.
''Bebel, who is elected in Hamburg, I
happen to know very well. He is one of
the most fascinating orators in the socialist
ranks, and possesses considerable means
His residence is one of the finest in Ham
burg. Bebel never tires of expatiating upon
his theories, but he admits that he is not
fool enough to carry them personally into
practice.

the first This he undertook to do. but
somehow failed. A. II. Murphy was sent
abroad 70 visit the German firm Of manu-
tacturers from whom the impure Iungstate
had been received. While be was on the
Atlantic the factories OF the German house
were burned TO the ground. They were
never rebuilt And so. for the want Of
accurate knowledge Of the nature Of a single
ingredient, and that, to an impurity, big
discovery and a magnificent fortune in
prospective have gone glimering. Europe
has been searched IN vain for a trace Of the
chemical mixture, and all that is left Of
the golden dream for the stockholders to
gaze upon are a few pieces of paper
leather.
TOO MANY BANKS IN NEW YORK
"There are more than enough banks in
New York city for all business purposes, :"
said an official connected with the bank ex-
aminer's department yesterday, aprop s
OF the latest disclosures concerning the
"kite-hying" accommodations one bank
extends to another-a system which permit
ted the wreckers who desp lied the Lenox.
Sixth national and Equitable banks to work
their game unexpectedly. IF a number of
the banks were consolidated and the salaries
now paid to large force of incompetent
officials were devoted to securing the
services or men of integrity and first-class
ability, depositoTs would be better served
and the banks would be on safer ground"
This idea seems to be gaining ground
among the more conservative bankers in
New York, and it is not improbable that
the present thorough overhauling that is
taking place in good mary of the banks
may result in a number of consultations
that would benefit all concerned, except the
surplusage of salaried officials who would
lose their places. DAVID WECHsLER.

The response to advertise
ments has been quick at every
point. Universal confidence
in our statements was decis-
lively displayed last week at
our shoe sale. Timid people
who merely came to look
bought The skeptical ones,
whose curiosity got the better
of them, were the loudest in
their praises of the bargains
we offered. Hundreds and
hundreds of people who came
went away pleased. Well
endeavor to have as good
values this week, Or, if posi-
BILE, better ones than we gave
you last week. All we want
is your willing presence.
Bear in mind that the sale
will commence Monday morn
ing, and will positively close
Saturday evening. We also
beg to state that we must
limit ourselves in the quaint
ties which we will sell to each
customer. We don't object to
regular retail purchasers
getting as many Of the bar
gains as they may require,
but we do object to regular
dealers picking up bargains
that are intended for our re-
tail customers.

Red Wing Advance Sun: 1t makes
a difference in this way whom the
Democrats nominate for governor.
The Alliance intention has been for
q long time to carry the Legislature.
Without that the governor would be
of little account to them. With
legislature favorable to their wishes
it becomes Immediately important to
have not unfriendly governor. Some
of the oldest, most sincere and unself-
ish members of the Alliance stated
the other day that Merriam has made
the best governor for the farmers we
ever had; been the best friend the
farmers ever had in the governors
chair, another one said. Now the
Alliance people, good many of them
have good practical sense. If the Demo-
cratic nominee is believed by them to
be, to certainty, just as good, in
dependent and well disposed towards
their interests as they know Mr.. Mer-
riam to be, they will perhaps vote for
their own nominee, leaving it to 9TH
ers to settle who shall be governor.
But If the Democratic nominee is not
such in their opinion they will surely
have a choice between the possible
winners, and will try to secure the
election of the best man.

lest in your just eagerness to secure
your own rights, you seek to infringe
upon the rights of others. No
measure that conflicts with the rights
of any class of citizens, but what is
sure to follow the course of the
boomerang and return to injure the
hand that shaped it. On the other
hand, let it be borne in mind by all
other classes of our citizens, that the
present conditions demand consider
alton now and that consideration
must be full and fair; for the time
being it is paramount to all other
questions and if necessary, every
other interest must be prepared to
stand aside in favor of measures look
