The Parks of London.

Who knows or ever could think OF
the fondness of the London people for
swimming or bathing. or of the means
they have for enjoying their baths? In
one of the great parks in the heart of
London an ornamental sheet of water,
more unsecluded than the lake in Cen
trail park, is made all but alive with
bathers between o'clock, or earlier in
the morning, and s o'clock a. IN. AS
many AZ 10000 men and boys have
been known to battle in that pond in
one day. That is the same park, by
the way, wherein, if you should go on
a summer night, you would see the
sward literally dotted, peppered with
the black forms of sleeping mem
homeless and unemployed, or luxurious
men, who prefer the grass to crowded
tenement quarters. There is no too
nice objection to this by the law or it's
blue clad myrmidons.-Julian Ralph in
Harper's Weekly.

Pushed Her.


There is in one of the big dry goods
stores weighing machine which is
similar in outward appearance to a
nickel-in-the-slot machine, but which
works without the preliminary dropping
in of q nickel. 1t was the means the
other day of calling attention to a very
honest old lady. She had her arms full
of packages, and she held them all
while being weighed, evidently fearing
to lay them down lest some one should
walk away with them. When the
weighing process was over she laid
them all down, however, flshed out a
nickel from her pocketbook, and then
began vain search for the slot into
which to drop it. She looked the ma
chine all over, in front, in back, on the
sides and on top, and even when her
closest scrutiny failed to discover the
slot, she did not grasp the idea that the
machine was a free laborer, but laid
the nickel on its top and walked away,
apparently in the hope that the next
person who came along might know
how to feed the money to the machine
and drop it in for her.-New York
Times.

The history of the democratic steal In the
state senate is in brief: Two senatorial con-
tests had been under consideration. No
conclusion had been reached in either case,
no reports signed. On the occasion of the
absence of republican senators at the state
convention with tacit agreement that no
party question or important legislation
should be undertaken during their absence,
without regard to their honor Tor supposed
honor the agreement was violated, the cleo
ton cases brought up and the republican
senators Morse and Horton unseated, and
Fredlander and Morrow declared elected
in the face of the fact that no quorum was
present, nor in the chamber during tbs vot-
ing on the last case. This action was
case of sneak thieving because the demo-
Gratis did not have the courage to report the
cases when full senate was present and
dignity the matter open robbery. The two
democratic senator's were sent for and sworn
in secretly, because their votes were neces-
sary to complete the steal. Senator Wilcox,
of this district, who was elected by the DEM
ocrats and patrons, den0unces the steal in
unmeasured terms, and efforts are being
made to GUST the persons whose appoint
ments he secured in the state offices. unless
he comes to terms and becomes party to
democratic dishonesty. The democrats re-
fused to- spread on the journal the protests
of the state association of Patrons regarding
the matter and facetiously moved to refer
the same to the committee on fisheries. The
same resolution of the patrons was asked TO
he spread ON the journal of the house out of
difference to the great body of citizens thus
represented by the Patrons organization,
who had right to a respectful hearing.
This motion was laid on the table by the
democrats with the votes of Patron Hiram
johnson and Patron BOtsford, the latter
owing his election to the grace of the pat
rOns' organization. The democrats have
used the patrons to their advantage and pro-
claim that patron senator's votes before
were worth $4,000 each but now are not
worth d-n. The action Of the demo-
Gratis is notice served ON the patrons that
they have no further use for them. And
when in township elections this spring the
democracy proposeoto patrons, they should
refer the matter to tho committee on fish
cries."

RICE CHRISTIANS.
The Work Of Chinese MissiOna.
rieS q Failure.

w. G. Willard of Liverpool. England. has
been for ten years in the service of the
Chinese customs. He is on his way home
to spend his furlough and is staying at the
Palace.
Il have lived in many cities in China and
Formosa," said Mr.. Willard yesterday,
"and have been brought in contact with
the missionaries of every denomination.
The assault upon the ministers and the
outrages of the mobs at Ichang few
months ago were entirely unprovoked, but
they should furnish a practical moral for
the societies which maintain the missiona-
ries.
THE only tangible benefits of the mis-
sionary work among the Chinese are the
limited education given and the establish
ment of Christian hospitals The latter
have been Invaluable in caring for the ma
tlyes during the progress of an epidemic,
and have been instrumental in the improve
ment OF the sanitary conditions of many
villages
but from religious standpoin the
work OF the Chinese missionary is a failure
The Chinese convert is what we call "a rice
Christian and he changes his religion for
what there Is in it. 1t is a strictly CONNER
cial transaction. The cOolie temperament
is not impressionable. and many mission
aries have confessed to me that their re-
ligious work had been time and energy
wasted.
Political and commercial events indicate
an alliance between England and China,
while Germany Is also to be depended upon
in any national emergency. There are very
few American merchants left in the coun-
try, almost all having Withdrawn or retired.
The natives prefer the British to any other
foreigners, and the English residents are
continually extending their business, and
the German colonists take the place formerly
occupied by American merchants.
Russia aud France are becoming very
arrogant in their demands, and they are en-
deavoring to exact unreasonable conces-
sions from the Chinese Government. Rus
STA is determined to gain foothold in Bur
nah and is watching an opportunity for a
descent upon that country. The compact
between England and China is impelled by
ideas of self-preseryaton.
All OF the custom officials of China are
Engllshmen, the minor Offices only being
filled by natives. Germans predominant
among the officers of the Chinese army and
the navy is also directed by European
coloplsts."

he was a briefAss and pennil-ss young
lawyer in Columbus, Ohio. He had
bu ket full of brains behind his shaggy eve
ebrows and no end Of pluck. But business
was not coming his way. His mothers
house was mortgaged for $1,000 which had
been spent IN his education. The owner of
the mortgage was Governor Foster, now
Secretary of the Treasury. At last he went
to Foster and begged him to give him some
sort OF an office to help him to pay the debt
and have some piece OF mind.
'OB, no" said the Governor, Il am a
Republican aud you are a Democrat. l
could not do such thing as that"
the young lawyer pleaded so earnestly
and long for something to do to extricate
him from his troubles that Foster finally
tod hn he would give him $500 TO 20 to
New York and attend to deal in railroad
stocks which the Governor was interested
in. When the arrangements were all made
he babe him most sulemnly not to depar.

Having done so he telegraphed Foster tile
