CHINESE INCONVENIENCE.
Opposed to all Modern Appliances in
Civilized Countries


There are no schools in China ex
cept to educate men for office.
There is no postal system except
that conducted by foreigners un
der consular jurisdiction between
the treaty ports,
There is no currency except a
brass coin called cash" of which
1000 weighing several pounds, make
a dollar When a man travels
across the country he has to hire an
extra mule to carry his money.
There are no banks outside the
foreign settlements.
There are no street lights or sew
ers, or sidewalks, or water works,
or water closets outside the foreign
settlements in the whole empire.
There is a telegraph line erected
by foreigners between the principal
cities, but it costs 25 cents word
to send a message from Peking to
Tien-Tsin, a distance of so miles,
which is nearly twice as much as
the charge between New York and
London or Paris.
There are two railroads in the
empire, both intended to connect
coal mines with navigable water,
but only one carries passengers.
There was a third road, 18 miles
long, but it was purchased and re-
moved by the Government because
the rails interferred with the free
movements of the spirits of the
dead
There is not stage line in China.
You can not hire a carriage in
Peking, a city of more than a mil
lion and a half population and the
capital of the empire.
There is a bar at the mouth of
every Chinese river, but the Gov
ernment will not permit them to be
removed because they are "heaven
sent barriers" to keep out foreign
men-of-war.
To command ship a man must
pass an examination on the maxims

Mencius, but it is not necessary for
him to know anything about geog-

To command an army one must
be able to write a treatise on the
morals of the aucients and the wis

tion of ordnance or explosives.

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.

For the Week Ending, April p. 1895.
The weather during the past week
has been especially favorable for out
door work, there having been no rain
to interfere, while the days have been
warm and generally cloudless
That farmers have taken ad
vantage of the fine weather is evident
from the fact that nearly all Of the
small grain is soWn, and Il good por-
ton of the corn land is ready for that
crop. 1t is probable that the spring
seeding was never accomplished under
-, more favorable circumstances, the soil
being in just the right condition to be
worked and for receiving the seed.
This is largely due to the deep freez-
ing of soil during the winter, causing
il to become soft and mellowed. A
little frost remains in some of the
northern counties where the springs
work is only nst commenced,
though in the northwest portion con
siderable progress has been made
The planting of early potatoes is now
under way and the coming week will
sea good share of the crop in the
ground. A few complain of a scarcity
of seed potatoes Our correspondent
in Lafayette county reports some corn
being planted, and states that volun-
teer corn Is up about two inches high
much of the corn land is ready for
seed, but farmers are waiting for The
proper season to arrive and the ground
to become sufficiently warm.
Rain is greatly needed to start vege-
tation. Grass has made very little
progress during the week, being VI
only enough to give II green appear
ance to the fields, and the leaves or
the trees have not begun to open
though good rain would soon start
everything growing. This is II re
markably dry April, the streams which
are usually full at this season are now
dry, and many wells have failed. Th,
nights have also been coiu and frosty
which have helped to retard the deyel
opment of growing crops. Oats, earl!
