Declined with Thanks.

A doctor who was treating one of his patients for simple but tedious disor der found the man in such an irritable condition that he began to cheer hin up, says the New York Evening Sun But his words fell on deaf ears, for tho man had been housed up so long that he was firmly convinced that his tim had come. "Tut, tut" said the doctor ''I'll have you round again in a few days if you'll keep quiet and take the medicine. Why, man, suffer from the same complaint as you myself" Ther, was a look of compassion in the pa tient's eyes as he reached out the bot. tie, and said: ''In that case, doctor take some of this medicine you pre- scribed for me-" The man had grow1 almost hopeful under the influence O! the doctors reassuring words, but his hopes were cruelty dashed the next mo- ment as the medical man drew back from the bottle with a shudder and re piled: ''No, thanks"

the industries carried on in the most primitive style. Here is a man pound ing copper into teakettle, logs are be- ing sawed by hand, and hand looms are weaving silk. Carpenters, blaclssmiths and masons work for $2.50 week, and subsist on rice and little peanut oil and fish. Rice is worth 11a cents per pound, and 35 cents worth will feed a Chinaman for month.
 The Chinese tailor will make a lady's dress or a suit of clothes S5 cheaper than any other tailor on earth. Hundreds of tourists fit themselves out in China. They use English goods and pay Chi nese wages, which are s a week for an expert tailor capable of reproducing any garment.
 most superb test of Chinese ingenu- ity occurred yesterday. A large stout lady in our party, with jinril1sha riding and hard travelling, had used up her last pair of French corsets. Its many broken and protruding bones made it unbearable. When my tailor brought back Tuxedo suit this morning Mrs. Marsh said jol1ingly:
 "John, you mallee corset?"
 John took the corset in his hand, ex- amined it's difficult mechanism, and said: "Yes, me makee. Me can do."
 Mrs. Marsh gave him the sample, and this morning John sidled in softly with two perfect corsets. They were abso- lute copies, one in pink and the other in black satin, and fitted to charm Johns price was S3 for duplicating 6 Sl5 French corset.

High Tariff Wages.

''In Rockville, Conn.,, there are," says the New York Press, several worsted mills where men receive ten dollars week; women, $6.5O, and girls, $55O a week." As this is from high tariff paper, and is advanced as proof of the benefcent effects of the Mckinley law, it may be taken for granted that the wages quoted are the highest. What do the American people think of paying two prices for everything they wear in order that skilled workmen may draw the munificent stipend of ten dollars a week, about the same wage as that of the lowest paid laborer in the unpro- tected mills in Minneapolis? Do they believe from this exhibit that the tariff tax levied on them is divided with the workingman in wages, or must they echo the regret of Candidate Harrison, "that all employers are not consider ateT'-Minneapoli Tribune.

The age at which pupils are allowed to enter and to continue in the public schools differs greatly. Of the forty nine states and territories six admit them at years of age, nineteen at 5, twenty at 6, three at 7 and one at 8. The states admitting them at 4 are Maine, Connecticut, Florida and Mon- tana. The schools of Alabama and North and South Dakota do not receiy e them until they are z, and those of Texas exclude them till they are s, and only allow them to attend till they are 16. Twenty-Five of the states and terri tories allow pupils to attend the public school till they arrive at the age of 21. Of the remainder the "school age' terminates at 20 in nine, at IS in seven, at 16 in three and 15 in three.

LoNDoN's new lord mayor is to be congratulated upon having the courage of his convictions, and those who elect him are likewise to be congratulated upon recognizing his constancy. The new official is Roman Catholic in his religion, and before his election he was asked if he would sacrifice his religious convictions for the sake of political emolument by conforming to the rules of the church of England and attending service at the established church in the capacity of lord mayor. He promptly replied that he would do noth- ing of the sort, but, if elected, he would appoint locum tenens to represent him at church functions; he would also fore go religious scruples at state banquets by permitting grace to be offered by the Established Churchman, but for family uses he would have none other than a Catholic priest. Whether this answer was satisfactory to his inquisitors or not does not appear. He was promptly elected, however, and religious bigotry took a back seat.

THE order, has been given out from tammany hall that the whole energies of the organization must be devoted this year to piling up big vote for Cleve- land and Stevenson. It is the wish of Richard Croker, as well as of the tam many executive committee, that all local interests be subordinated to the one idea of giving Cleveland and Stevenson the largest majority in New York city that was ever given to demo- cratic candidates. A Cleveland and Stevenson campaign club, in every cleo tion district, is in process of organiza- tion, and a naturalization committee is at work seeing to it that all who are eligible to be made voters are given the opportunity.

COMMENT is made on the action of the convention of the Pennsylvania state league of republican clubs at Williams port, on September 20th, in regard to a resolution that was introduced de- nouncing the introduction or employ ment" within the state ''of armed bodies under the direction and pay of corpora tions, or private individuals" and calling upon the legislature to abate such employment of mercenaries by legislation. The resolution was first hissed and then referred to a committee to avoid a vote. This exhibition of a desire to assist Pinkertonism shows how strong the hold of the tariff millionaires is upon the republican party, and how foolish it is to expect any legislation in the interest of labor from legislators pledged to obey them.

 As we pass through Japan into China we find that the Chinese, like the Japanese, seldom use horses. In Japan men draw immense loads in jinrikshas and two-wheeled wagons, but the Chi nese, writes Eli Perkins in the New York Sun, use the wheelbarrow. A Chinaman will wheel half a ton clear across the city of Shanghai for ten cents.

It Did Not Determine Whether Suicide
 Was Committed.
 BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 5.-The result of the autopsy on the body of Defaulter Damn, did not determine the question whether he committed suicide or not His brain, lungs, liver and kidneys were all found to be in diseased condition.
 The condition of the last named organs has led Post mortem Examiner Hewitt to believe that the state of coma which led to the theory of suicide was really caused by the condition known as uraemia, a form of kidney disease.
