Tho Drama In China.

However arbitrary the Chinese govern
ment may be from our point of view, tho
playwright is permitted to write on almost
every subject he can conceive. He breaches
some which an English public would new
er tolerate. 1t is impossible to enjoy great
or freedom than that granted by the i'm
perial authorities in this respect. Popular
Ignorance does not prove a stumbling
block to the author, as in Europe. He has
todeal with peculiar form of civilization
and nation possessed of strong common
sense, fund of humor and keen sense
of satire, which atone for defective educa-
ton.
Many of the subjects chosen do not &C.
oording to our western ideas, appear fitted
for the stage. They are wanting in inter
est and passion. This change is only par
tial, for even Europeans, connected as they
are by strong ties and a practically COM
mon civilization hold divergent opinions
as to what is strictly dramatic or not
Roughly speaking, the subjects come I'M
der eight heads First, scenes from the
history of the empire; second, filial and
parental piety; third, the exaltation of
learning; fourth, native vices and pecul-
iarities; fifth, those common to mankind:
sixth, official corruption; seventh, legal
anomalies; eighth, the absurdities Of tho
religions professcd in various parts Of the
land-Nineteenth Century.

Colonel Ingersolrs Eloquent Eulogy Of the

At the banquet which closed the fourth

G lngersoll eloquently extolled the virtues
OF tobacco as follows:
Now, then, it is delight to sneak on

understand the divine plant. 1 have loved

OF the savage, who has no clothes except

There's too much hypocrisy about the
use OF tobacco. Thousands use it and lie
about 1t. want you to use it and defend
its use, because it adds something to tho
value and happiness of life. In spite Of

There Is another point want to make.
Tobacco Is luxury. Let us cheaper all
luxuries Labor pays all the tax in the
world. Then let labor reap some of the
benefit. Give the workingman tobacco as
cheap as possible The idea is to let the
poor devil work now and smoke in the
world TO come. We want him to smoke
now. No luxury should be produced by

Mark Twain's Keeper.

Mark Twain once expressed q desire tc

club OF correspondents in Washington but
when an invitation was Sent him his re-
grets were received by return mail. Meet

planned that he had been neglected. When

for moment, and then said, "ThosC wcre

"Who is Isaac2"
Hes my keeper. Hes tho man my
wife hired to prevent mo having any more
fun" Mark then explained that Isaac
opened all his letters and invitations, wrote
answers, which in the case of invitations
always consisted of regrets and then
burned them. When asked what is Isaac
other name, the humorist replied sadly:
Il don't know. My wife hired him, and
she told me what his name is, but 1 have
forgotten. call him Isaac, as he is doomed
to the fate that nearly befell the fayorite

Ronaparte,s pesIcns ON MALTA.

In this farreaching plan of Bonaparte's,
which comprehended the whole basin OF
the Mediterranean, and by throwing
French troops into Spain opened the way
for further interference, lies the germ of
all his future dealing with the Castilian
monarchy. The focal point of the whole
system, he had explained as early as May,
was the island of Malta the citadel of the
Mediterranean. The grand master of the
knights was at the point of death, the king
of Naples claimed the island as an ancient
appanage, but q German was the most
prominent among the candidates for the
succession. Bonaparte's proposal was that
the Maltese should first be bribed to re-
volt, and that the French or Spanish fleet
should seize Valetta, compel the election
of SpaNiard, and thus secure bulwark
in the heart of the Mediterranean against
Turkey on one side and England on the
other.-Professor W. NJ. Sloanes "Life of
Napoleon" in Century.
