Chinese Officials.

In China there are two officials for
each post, in order that one may spy
upon the other, the rule being that no
official shall report what he has done,
but only what the other has done.
From the highest official to the lowest
all practice a system of mblushing rob-
berry, called squeezing The salary of
viceroy in some cases Is $50 a year;
he regularly draws not less than eS,0O0.
The salary of a judge is f40 a year; he
regularly draws at least e2,000. There
are 200 police in Canton, not one of
whom receives wages, and yet the office
is much sought after. The fact is, we
are assured, that the police are on excel
lent terms with the guild or fraternity
of thieves, and they work tremendously
together. Herbert.

There is no remote chance of Eurasia
ever being reabsorbed by either of its
original elements; the prejudices of both
Europeans and natives are far too vigor-
Gus to permit of much intermarriage
with a people who are neither one
nor the other. Occasionally an up
country planter, predestined to a remote
and "jungly' existence, comes down to
Calcutta and draws his bride from the
upper circles of Eurasia-this not so
often now as formerly. Occasionally,
too, young shopman with the red of
Scotland fresh in his cheeks is carried
off by his landlady's daughter, while
Tommy Atkins falls comparatively
easy prey.
The sight of a native with half caste
wife is much rarer, for there Eurasian
as we'll as native antipathy comes into
operation. The whole conscious in
clination of Eurasian life, in habits,
taste, religion and most of all in ambi
ton, is toward the European and away
from the native standards. j.

How wonderful and ever present is
the contrast in eastern travel to all life
and movement at home. No heavy carts
and numbering wagons jolt to and fro
between the farmyard and the fields.
No light vehicles and swift equipages
dash past ON macadamized roads. Alas!
there are no roads-and if no roads, how
much less any vehicles or wagons.
Thatched roofs and tiled cottages, lanes
and hedgerows and trim fields, rivers
coursing between full banks, beyond all
the roar and sudden smoky rush of the
train-these might not exist in the world
at all, and do not exist in the world OF
the Persian, straitened and stunted, but
inexpressibly tranquil in his existence.
Here all is movement and hustle, lux
and speed there everything is imper-
turbable, immemorial, immutable, slow.

Virus and Venom.

The difference between venom and u
virus is very marked. Both are poisons,
and both of organic origin, but venom
is produced in secreting organs, COM
monty called poison glands, and is intro
duced into the system by means especial
ly adapted for the purpose, such as Stings
or fangs. On the other hand, a virus is
the result of disease or putrefaction, and
generally possesses the property of excit'
ing in the system into which it is intro
duced the disease which produced the
virus. A virus commonly produces lit
tie, if any, local disturbance: venom
generally causes great pain, often severe
Inflammation and swelling. Venom ha:
marked local effect; virus causes q
general disturbance of the system.-St

Dress Goods from Spirit Land.

"a conductor on the International and
Great Northern once told me queer
story" remarked Ezra Morgan at the
Lindell. His name was Painter, and
his run was from Galveston to Willis,
Tex. He said that shortly after his mar
rage he made compact with his wife
that whichever died first should appear
to the other. She only lived about a
year, and shortly after her demise, while
he was sitting reading one evening, she
walked up to him and laid her hand on
his shoulder. She talked with him a
few minutes as freely as though in the
flesh; then, picking up pair of shears
that laid on the table, said: After l am
gone you may doubt that | appeared tc
you. You may think it dream or a
Authorization. Keep this as souvenir
and doubt not She cut piece from
her dress, laid it on the table and van
ished. The goods resemble white silk
but the textile experts confess that they
do not know what it is; that if any such
goods were ever woven in an earthly
loom they do not know it."-St. Loui:

khediye and Sentry.

The khedive, oddly enough for an orr
entail, did not smoke, but always carried
cigarette case, and delighted in offer
ing it and little presents of money to the
English sentries placed on guard round
his palace when first Cairo was occu-
pied by the British.
The khedive was an early riser, and
was in the habit of walking in his gar
den early in the morning. One day,
returning from such walk, he was
stopped by sentry.
Yer can't go in here, yer know" said
the man of war, with the Briton's anna
BILE contempt for fat little foreigner.

"Oh, do yer? Got good placer
VERY good" was the modest response,
"Ah, yer look like it. Nothin to do
and plenty to eat. wouldn't mind serv-
ing your master. What sort of a Teller

And then, alas, the sergeant coming
along recognized and saluted the khe-
dive, to the vast discomfort of the sentry
as well as to the chagrin of his highness,
who would have been glad to hear more
about himself. -Youth's Companion.

Revising the Pension Rolls.

The honest efforts being made by
Sec. Smith and Commissioner Loeb
rem, to purge the hitherto fraudulent
pension rolls, is creating quite a stir
in some quarters. An advantage
will be taken by political opponents
to prejudice the 6. A. r. against the
party now in power; but when it is
seen that none but imposters are to
suffer why should any honest man
take exceptions. Indeed it looks sus-
picious for man to take exceptions
to the present reform movement. We
cannot better show the extent of the
frauds on the Government than by
giving the following from the Benson
Monitor:
"The work of purging the pension
rolls of impostors has apparently be-
gun in earnest. Following the in
structions of Secretary of the Interior
Smith, the pension officials have be-
gun a search of files of the Office for
such cases as are clearly fraudulent
and up to this time quite large num-
Der have been found. A large list of
names was recently sent to Secretary
Smith by Commissioner Lochren,
with the recommendation, which has
been approved, that they be dropped
from the pension rolls. In this list
eleven were deserters- at large, as ap-
pears from the records Of War De-
partment. A number did not serve
the required ninety days. Some
drawing widows pensions had remar-
ried. One had never been. in the
army or navy service at all, while sew
eral were drawing pensions on ac-
count of disabilities resulting from
their own vicious habits. The work
of examining the rolls with a view to
the detection OF fraud will be prose-
cuted with vigor, and at the same time
current issues will be scrutinized with
the same object. Secretary Smith
and Commissioner Lochren, while
prosecuting this work, renew the as
surance previously given that just as
much care will exercised to secure
pensions for those who are entitled to
them under the new law as will be
used to prevent fraud"

Washington, July 19.-The banks
of Minnesota are in splendid condit-
ion and holding far above the legal
reserve. This is shown by the re-
ports so far received by the comptrol-
Ter of the currency from his call of
July II. Owing to the fact that no
reports have yet been received from
some of the distant banks, no tabul-
alton has yet been made of the state,
but enough are in to show that the
strain of the past few weeks has only
served to strengthen the banks of the
state. In the August number of the
North American Review, Comptroller
Eckels, in financial article, makes
special mention of the situation in
Minnesota, and pays compliment to
the banking institutions of the state.
The fact that not single national
bank in Minnesota has closed its
doors during the severe stringency is
worth much to the states in the East.
and is having due effect.-St Paul
Globe.
