treaty of peace recently negotiated
between the two nations. No change
was made in the text of the treaty.

recommendations made by Russia,
Germany and France, the Japanese
government has agreed to renounce

The Chinese will doubtless have to

son OF Japan's REIMBURSEMENT of the
territory on the mainland. Among
the important provisions Of this
treaty is an agreement on the part of
China to admit improved machinery
and other modern inventions from
Japan and other countries free of
duty. This will doubtless inure to
the benefit of the United States.

Tho q

June 81 is the longest day Of the
year, the day when the sun reaches
Its northern limit, tho tropic of Can
GER. At points on the line of tho arc
tic circle there is the wonder of the
midnight sun, and many tourists go
long distances to witness the sight.
It is singular how accurately the
semibarbarous nations were able to
observe and reckon. On Salisbury
plain in England may be seen a
cromlech erected by the Druids. It
is q circle of huge stones which once
formed a temple, but the most in
teresting part of the structure is the
sacrifcial stone, which is a broad,
fat slab so placed that the rays of
the rising sun strike full upon it
only on the 21st of June. The old
guide who shows the place to visit
ors tells the story that a young girl
once said to him, II suppose you
have seen it hundreds of times,
haven't you?"-Brooklyn Times.

Cheap Living.

One half the world does not know
how the other half lives, nor do the
well fed thousands in this prosper
Gus city, who daily consult their
menu of many expensive and rare
courses, comprehend that many 9TH
or thousands of Woodworking, &C.
tive, healthy, energetic, busting
people live for o whole day upon the
price of q plate of oysters in a fash
ionable restaurant. Letone mana
letter earrier-speak for himself: II
have three meals q d~ay-coffee,
cakes and either ham or beans or
eorned beef and beans at each meal,
at q cost of not more than 90 cents a
meal. They give you bread and but
ter with the meat, and a fellow has
plenty to eat in three such meals. If
a fellow is hard pushed, he can get
along on 80 cents a day with two
meals, with meat, beans, bread and
coffee at each. Ihave known chaps,
who have been idle for a long time,
to live upon 20 cents o day-corned
beef, beans, bread and butter, and
water for n meal, and pie and cof-
fee at the other in the evening. A
fellow could live all winter on those
two meals if he didn't have to jug
gle cases and barrels and bales of
cotton or do heavy work. Thus it
may be seen that q man needn't
starve who has $1.40 q week to-
spend on food. New York Record
