All the current news and gossip are here
circulated and discussed over their eat
ing or gambling. One of their games of
chance, which we have frequently no.
ticed, seems to consist in throwing their
fingers at one another and shouting at
the top of their voices. 1t is really a
matching of numbers, for which the
Cinnamon make signs on their fingers
up to the mineral ten.
The Chinese of all nations seem tC
live in order to eat, and from this race
of epicures has developed nation OF
excellent cooks. Our fare in China, out
side the Cobb district, was far better
than in Turkey or Persia, and for this
reason we are better able to endure the
increased hardships. A plate Of sliced
meat stewed with vegetables and>servod
with a piquant sauce, sliced radishes
and onions, with vinegar, two loaves
of Chinese mono, or steamed bread,
and a pot of tea would usually cost
us about "a cents apiece. Every
thing in China is sliced so that it can be
eaten with the chopsticks. These we at
length learned TO manipulate with sufe-
cient dexterity to pick up doves egg,
the highest attainment in the chop
stick art. The Chinese have rather a
sour than sweet tooth. Sugar is rarely
used in anything, and never IN tea. the

zine an article entitled my impress
sions of Law and Lawyers, " which win
prove very interesting to laymen as
we'll as to members of the legal pro-
fession Mr.. Doyle discusses his theme
instructively, entertainingly and with
judicial impartiality and candor. He
refers to the Confessions of Junior
Barrister, " by the brilliant Richard
Lalor Shiel, as embodying the early ex-
periences of many hopeful and talented
young lawyers
How many" says Mr.. Doyle, "have
passed through similar course of study
and preparation, perhaps graduating
IN the humanities as we'll as the law,
bearing away the prize for elocution
and oratory at some Of our great instl-
tutions of learning! How many have
thought that such talents as theirs were
sure to command early if not immedl-
ate success, and, alasl how many have
been disappointedP' differing, it may
be added, in this respect from Shiel,
who passed safely through the depress'
Ing period of waiting and probation
which tries the soul Of the ordinary
legal neophyte, and who won the dis.
JUNCTION of which he had dreamed at
the outset of his career.
Many of this grand army of the dis
appointed fail, Mr.. Doyle thinks, not
because they are lacking in genuine

do for the young lawyer to seek to make
himself known by going into politics.
To do so lis a risky venture for one
who intends 70 make law the profession
of lifetime, and even a reputation for
political oratory is of little if any bene-
fit to lawyer. The public soon come
to regard him as politician and may
be willing to vote with him or for him,
but not to give him business
Turning from the causes of failure to
the qualities important to what is ordi-
narily deemed success, Mr.. Doyle sum-
marizes them as follows: Love of the
profession and evident desire to get
business and attention to it when in
hand; industry and the appearance OF
industry and good native sense, with an
aggressive and partisan temperament.
Fluency of speech, eloquence of diction
and genuine oratorical talent are use
ful, but not essential. " This partisan
and aggressive spirit, which is akin to
what Lord Bacon calls GOODNESS, p" Mr..
DOYLE considers a particularly 1mpor-
tant element of success. ''Men hire
lawyers, as the expression is among the
people, to attend to their business and
to fight their battles, right or wrong,
and the lawyer who goes into case
thoroughly imbued with the clients
feelings, believing or making believe
that he is certainly right and the other
party an unmitigated rascal, is sure to
please.
AS to the ethical side of the law, Mr..
DOYLE admits that much may be said
pro and con. One of the demorallzlng
features of the profession is that "a
LAWYER cannot choose his cases. " he
is sometimes on the wrong side, the
side of falsehood and injustice, and
when on the wrong side there is al
most irresistible temptation to express
belief in the justice of his cause ana
LAWYERS too often yield to it, thus CIV
ing some ground for the popular accu-
sation that lawyers lie for their clients, .
After all, whether "the law is noble
and elevating profession" depends
mon the man." There is nothing in the
nature of his profession which compels
lawyer to be rascal. 1t has its temp
tations. but SO has every other business.

THE SALOON QUESTION.
What a Leading Magazine Says on the
Question.

question.
The saloon evil is one of the most
momentous problems confronting the
American people. The constituencies
greed of our plutocracy and the brutal
disregard Of all that is highest and best
by the arrogant saloon power are the
Siamesese twins of night, whose
thoughts are the thoughts of one being,
whose instincts rise no higher than the
fountain of self, and whose corrupt in
fiuences are with startling rapidity
changing the republic into an oligarchy
dominated by constituencies million
aires. If our people would save the
republic, they must awake, arise, unite
and throw off the yoke Of despotism.
Only immediate and concerted action
can avail to this end. No more striking
illustration of the lawless character of
the saloon power and its mission than
the shameful outrages being perpetrated
in South Carolina, where the govern
ment is seeking to enforce law passed
by both branches of the legislature, and
no more pitiful exhibition of the sub
serviency of the plutocratic press to the
dictates of the rum power could be found
than the shameful Misrepresentation
which have been given to the people as
news.-Arena For May.

head was cast down. His fathers gray
