when Wears in charge OF fashionable

very good for the church? Why do

I might ut least be permitted to do the

Lordon. Sept. 10. - A dispatch re-

day, says that during the evening of
Thursday last, Il japanese column from
Pung San made a reconnaissance in
force, drawing the fire of the Chinese
forces ond ascertaining accurately their
disposition. This done, the japanese
fell back in good order, with little loss.
Friday night all the Japanese forces
were in good order for u combined at

csc drew q Gordon around the Chinese
troops, and at 3 o'clock in the morning
the Japanese attack was delivered
simultaneously and with admirable
precision.
The Chinese lines, which were strong
in front, were found to be weak in the
rear, and the Chinese, utterly unsus-
piciOus of the Japanese attack from
that quarter, were taken completely
by surprise, became panic-stricken and
were cut down and bayonetted by

Chinese Table MANNERS.


In the matter of eating and drinking
Chinese formality Is extreme. A round
table is the only n that can be used
in an a%ristocratic household. The seat
Of honor is always the II next to the
wall. Not amouthful can be taken I'M.
til the host raises his c%hop-sticks in the
air, and gives the signal. Silence then
prevails; for Confucius says: When a
man eats he has no time to talk"
When a cup Of tea is served to any ono
in a social party, he must offer 1t, to
every one in the room, no matter how
many there are. before proceeding to
drink himself. The real basis of Chin.
ese politeness seems to be this: They
must be polite enough to offer, and
you must be polite enough to refuse.
Our ignorance of this great underlying
principle during the early part Of the
Chinese journey led us into errors, botl]
many and grievous. In order to show
a desire to be sociable, we accepted
almost everything that was offered to
us, to the great. cagrin we fear, of the
courteous donors.

DOCTORS FEES.
In h Case of Royal Patients The!
Are Sometimes Enormous.

In the Case Of Royal Patients They
Are Sometimes Enormous.
Some of the fees paid by royalty have
been eminently BETTING the giver and
taker. The late physician to the Prince
of Wales received for four weeks at
tendance at Sandringham, during the
illness of his distinguished patient
from typhoid fever, not only the usual
title of baronet, but a fee OF 10000.
Sir Morell Mackenzie is reported to
have received more than twice this
amount for his treatment of the late
Emperor Frederick Of Germany.
Dimsdale. a prominent practitioner OF
London, in 1852. was called thence. to
st. Petersburg to vaccinate the EN-
press Catherine H., for which he re-
ceivcd not only the equivalent of $780,
600 but an extra 10000 for travelling
expenses, the title of baron, and a life
pension Of $500 yearly. His Royal
Highness the Nawab Of Rampur, India
recently paid al English army surgeon
$4,000 for a three-months' occasional
attendance in an ordinary attack OF
rheumatism. The late Sir Andrew
Clark. GladstoneB physician, often
charged $1,tDO for running down from
London to Liverpool, and the late Sir
William Gull commanded equally high
rates for similar services. A Russian
surgeon charged a wealthy, notable
Of Odessa $4,000 for opening an alb
cess of the hip, the time occupied being
about ten minutes. And, better still,
while on the same visit he took a
chance shot at another patient in the
shape of a similarly simple operation,
for which lie received nearly $500
more. certainly enough extra to
pay the fee of the railway porter on
his homeward journey.
But in all this it is not SO much the
doing as the knowing how to do it.
When the French peasant said that
there were not ten francs worth of
paint on Rosa BonEour's Horse Fair"
he was incapable Of va1uing high art.

RAISE HOGS.
A Little Advice to the Farmers Of
MinncxOtn and North Dakota.

History is always repeating itself.
The Individual who is wise enough to
profit by experience is one that meets
with the greatest success in his under
takings. III the year 1891 the corn crop
throughout the West and Southwest
was practically a failure. What was
the result? The farmers generally sold
off all their hogs, big and little. fat and
thin, stock sows and FLOODED boars,
everything was rushed madly onto the
market, creating an over supply Al the
time, and dc%prcciating the price Of
hogs to 3 cents live weight. At the
time Carl Juilson. cX-secretary of the
state agricultural society, ate npted to
stop the Wild stampede to sell he I'M
mature and seed hogs by calling the at
tention of the farmers of the North
west, through the public press, to the
fact that hogs could be thoroughly and
probably fattened on wheat barley and
rye, and that the wild rush to sell off
the stock hogs would result in 4 hog
famine that. would put hog prices far
above any commodity Of the farm.
Mr.. Julson's prophecy was fulfilled to
the letter. AS soon as the immature
hogs were sold the market advanced
until the high tide was reached at
South st. Paul in February, 1893, when
live hogs sold at $S.25 per cwt. Hogs
have been high ever since, and are
selling at this time at from $3.50 to
$3.50 per cwt. Had the farmers OF
Minnesota needed Mr.. Judson's warm
ing it would have been millions of dol
lars in their pockets, but, alas, they
paid no more attention to it than to the
wind, and when hogs had advanced to
$S.25 they were buying pork for home
use and rushing about insanely to pur-
chase, at exorbitant prices, stock hogs
to make a new beginning. Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas and Missouri are the
great hog raising states. In these
states the corn crop is dismal failure.
and the farmers arc selling off II Dis
posing Of all their hogs, brood sows
and bears, and for the reason that they
have no wheat and barley to substitute
for corn, but our Minnesota farmers,
if they have as much sense as the
Almighty gives to geese, will take adj
vantage of the situation and have hogs
in abundance for the market next year
when the hog producing states are
o1lUlL NlSt pllCSS laiSu. II OAA2S
of Minnesota and the Dakotas have a
market outlet at South st. Paul for
more hogs than they can produce.
Even now the pork packers are pur-
chasing hogs ut st. 10, Mo-, to keep
their large packing houses busy.
AS a further proof of the situation
in the great hog-raising states. we
print the following from the Chicago
Evening Journal. of the Goth inst:
"a farmer near McCallsburg, Iowa,
knocked about seventy five hogs in the
head because he had nothing to feed
them. This is the first year in the
history of Story county that the corn
crop was a failure. The past two
weeks las practically settled the corn
question this year. it being estimated
that the yield will not be one-half
of former years."-From Pioneer Press,
August "a.

three miles west of here, O triple fatal
street duel took place between j. D.
Goodman, editor Of the Peoples Voice,

Boston, Sept. 18.-There is every in
dication today that within a few days
there will be inaugurated here n of
the biggest strikes in the history of
the clothing trade Of New England.
The various branches of the trade held
meetings yesterday and Endorsed the
recommendations of the clothing trade
council that the Jumping system be
abolished and that the weekly wage
system be established; also that a uni
form number of working hours be es-
tablished. If the employers agree to
the demands then the threatened strike

Agricultural Ignorance.

Does not every dollars worth Of imports
kept out by protective policy keep In dol
lars worth Of import grain that would other
wise leap to go outs
This is one Of those profound conun-
drums that the secretary Of agriculture
tried to solve at the congress OF agricul-
ture recently held in Chicago. We do
not believe that any schoolboy would
ask such question. The protective
tariff has nothing whatever to do with
the exports Of the country. The guam
tity Of grain that will leap to go out
depends entirely upon the crops in other
countries as we'll as in our own-in
fact, upon the question of supply and
consequent demand. The protective
tariff, Mr.. Morton, is to keep out from
this country things that are grown or
manufactured in other countries, and
which we ourselves are able to grow or
manufacture. We presume that Mr..
Morton is not aware that during the
period Of the greatest protection this
country has ever had our exports
Of wheat were larger than ever
known in the history Of the coun-
try, the result being that our i'm
ports were phenomenally smaller than
our exports; hence our exceeding pros
perity under protection. The dense
ignorance shown by the secretary OF
agriculture in the affairs pertaining to
his department would be amusing, were
it not so shameful, in coming from the
head Of the department that should be
representative OF our vast agricultural
resources, s,-American Economist.
