THERE are ugly reports that come
from China to the effect that the peo-
pie of that country are up in armsa
against the Christian missionaries,
and residents sojourning there. The
conduct of the mob is such as to eX-
cite the resentment of every civilized,
and ChriStianized country on the face
of the globe. 1t is something that
will not be tolerated. Unless it is

concerned we are at a disadvantage
We have solemnly excluded the Chi

An Obstacle.

Astrological student who had preached
one Sunday in city at a considerable
distance from the school which he at
tended wished to take the early train
back on Monday morning.
He was delayed in starting, and had to
stop on the way to get check cashed,
so that when he reached the upper end
of the station the train which had
stopped at the other end had already
started out.
1t would pass him, however; so he
waited, and when the baggage car
came along he threw his bag on board.
aud with sensible precaution decided to
wait for the last car before jumping on
himself.
The bystanders watched the proceed
ing with interest, and broke into laugh
ter as the rear car came along. There, on
the lower step of the rear platform, stood
man who must have weighed fully
three hundred pounds, an effective him
drance to any attempt toward boarding
the train.
The young man fell back and waited
for the next train. while the obstacle
continued in his position on the steps

cigar he was smoking. Youths Com

treatment for suIphide Of carbon.

The use of sulphide Of carbon is well
nigh Indispensable for great variety OF
industrial purposes. an objection to its
more extensive employment being the
very disagreeable odor which heretofore
has been considered inseparable from its
use. However, q method has been de-
vised for removing this odor, and the
treatment is said to be successful.
The plan consists in first shaking up
the substance with per cent. of cor
rosive sublinate. this operation being
repeated several times after longer or
shorter intervals, and by means of which
treatment certain sulphurets are pro-
duced and which cause the salt OF the
mercury to turn black. After this has
been accomplished the liquid is to be
distilled, and that which passes over
will be found to have much less disa-
greeable smell.

WOOL VARIES.

Ex-Consul Schoenhof writes on the Tariff
Different Qualities Of Wool Needed By
Manufact urers-Free wool Necessary
American Labor More - flcient Than That
Of Europe.
Ex-Consul Jacob Schoenhof, who
represented our government at Tun-
stall. Eng. during President Clevc-
lands administration. and who had
written largely on the comparative cost
OF production in Europe and America,
has begun a series Of articles in some Of
the leading daily papers on the same
general subject. Mr. Schoenhof has
examined the processes Of manufacture
infinitely in this country and in the
various countries Of Europe; he has as
certained the rate Of wages by the day
and by the piece, has found out how
long II takes to do the same amount of
work in different countries, and his con-
clusion is that American labor is
cheaper than European labor.
While Mr.. Schoe nhof held the posi-
ton OF consul he was charged by Secre-
tary Of State Bayard to make aninvesti-
CATION into the cost Of production in
Europe. The state department pub
lshed various valuable reports from
him from time to time. but his investi-
cations were not yet fully made public
when he was removed from office last
summer by President Harrison. His
present articles will be in the nature Of
a continuation Of his reports as partly
published by the state department
In his firstlctt Mr.. S1loenhof devotes
his attention partly to the question Of
wool. lie shows that free wool Is nee
essary, since the varieties Of wool are
so great that the manufacturers must
have access TO all markets in order "a
get the particular grade Of wool best
suited to each fabric.
Our own woods show conclusively,
says Mr.. Schoenhof, that almost every
state OF the union produces a different
grade Of wool. Forinstancc: The woods
raised in the far west, in the new terri.
tories and states. are considered very in

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-Secretary
Foster is considering proposition 20

One Of the absurd promises made by
the McKinleyites was that higher duties
would not result in higher prices.
Some curious instances are coming to
light now showing how higher prices
are avoided by making a poorer quality
Of goods and selling them at the old
price. McKinleyites thus finding old
prices maintained fall TO abusing the
''mendacious" democratic papers which
raised the cry of Mckinley prices"
Some time ago the New York Dry
Goods Economist showed how the inn
porters continued TO sell 25-cent stock
ing by getting an article Of Q poorer
quality.
A similar case has recently been
pointed out by Tobacco. trade journal
devoted to the tobacco industry. To-
bacco says the refusal Of many retail
cigar dealers 70 pay the advanced
prices caused by the Mckinley tariff
has led some cigar manufacturers to
adopt plan which il truly says Is
'.fraught with danger and disaster"
They reduce the cost of production to
about the old figures, by using small
err quantity Of leaf per thousand, and
thus turn out cigar which in length
and girth pretty nearly the same, Is q
looscr filled, lighter, and practically
speaking. smaller cigar" The man
ufacturers are thereby enabled to sell
at old figures, and the retailers are also
able to do so. Such are some Of the
.bcncficcnces" which Mckinley told
the country last fall il was now in or
der to expect from his tariff law.
