For the convenience of the department, however ,'the introduction of boxes in the house, until further orders, will be confined to 25 places. The action taken is the result of prac- tical tests made in St. Louis and Wash ington. Householders in the cities will be required, for their own conven- fence and at their own expense, to supply suitable boxes of kind al- ready approved by the department.

TIE highest court in New York has just decided that the present liquor law of the state calls for the abandon. ment of about s5,OOO.OoO worth of liquor saloons in New York City alone all because of their proxim ity tc schools and churches. This law will cause vastly greater destruction O, property and vested rights than was caused by prohibition in the states of Kansas and Iowa. There are other New York laws of recent origin which tends in the same direction. Even the Sunday closing law has this effect, as many saloons look to Sunday business for the profit on the weeks work.

This was the Resnlt of a Recent Investi-

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The revela. tions regarding speculation in fees by United States deputy marshals in Okla. homa, together with the trouble in ad {. justing the accounts of a number of marshals, wherein it is claimed that these officials are making too much money out of these offices, has decided Attorney General Harmon to make a strong recommendation to congress to abolish the fee system entirely and place all United States marshals upon fair salary. A bill for this purpose is now being considered.

IL It were an entirely new thing. 1t Is not
usually plain, preference being shown for
folded, SHRED and decorated ones. Tho
bolero also is enjoying great favor, and the
two fashions figure together on many
bodices with the addition of guimpe or
chemisette. Most frequently the bolero
and corselet, made of silk or of material
like the skirt, are worn over guimpe OF
embroidery or of lace insertion, but some
times the contrary is the case-that is,
over corsage of material like the costume
are q bolero and corselet of guipure, renais-
sance embroidery, point d'angleterre, en-
broidered net or any one of the many
suitable webs.
Valenciennes lace Is this year having its
revenge for the long and unmerited neglect
it has sustained. 1t is the only lace that
looks as well after it is washed as it did
before, and with such characteristic it
should be continually appreciated. More
over, it is almost impossible to tell the i'm
itation lace from the real, so close and ac'
curate is the copy, and this is valuable
quality when an unlimited number Of
yards is required for one gown.

CHINESE. EDUCATION.
The Standard Has Changed but Little In
Two Thousand Years.

Two Thousand Years.
They have no conception OF learning
as under stood in the west-of mathe-
mates, Chemistry, geology or kindred
sciences and of universal history. In
deed they have very imperfect knowl-
edge of geography Their curriculum of
study embraces the Chinese classics and
philosophy Ga voluminous compilation,
especially holding in eminence the
teachings Of Confucius), the theory OF
government and Chinese poetry and
history. 1t is the standard fixed 2, 600
years ago and has undergone little
change in the succeeding centuries.
One of our diplomatic representatives
tells of q conversation had with one OF
the most distinguished scholars and
highest officers in the empire, in which
they canvassed their respective systems
of education and he reports that his
Chinese friend had never heard OF Ho-
mer, Virgil or Shakespeare; knew some
thing of Alexander having crossed the
Indus, had vague knowledge of Caesar
and Napoleon, but none whatever OF
Hannibal, Peter the Great Wellington
or other modern soldiers, and he was
ignorant of astronomy, mathematics OF
the modern sciences When the Amerl-
can minister expressed surprise at these
defects in Chinese education, the man
DARN replied: "That is your civiliza-
ton, and you learn it. We have ours,
and we learn it. For centuries we have
gone on satisfied to know what we
know. Why should we care to know
what you know"
Yet it must be conceded that Chinese
scholars and officials are usually men OF
decided intellectual ability, and they
cannot be set down as uneducated be-
cause they have not followed the curric-
ulum of study marked out by European
} civilization. 1t is II source OF natural
pride that they possess literature and
philosophy older than any similar learn
ing Of the west, and which even at this
day are not obsolete, but exercise al
eleyating moral and intellectual in1u-
ence on vast multitude of the human
: family.
But no one of his race more than Ii
Hung Chang recognizes the defects Of
: the national system OF education
= Largely through his influence, the EN-
+ peror has established at Peking college
with full faculty of foreign professor
for the instruction of chosen Chinese
: youths in the European languages ant
g modern sciences, with view to train
I ing them for the diplomatic service. 81
he has also established at Tien-tsln, TO
u the last % years his viceregal residence
schools for military, naval and medlca
K education, manned by European i'll
s structors, and his example has been fol
o lowed by other viceroys. John w

A SCARED TIGERS LEAP.
Caught In a Narrow Gully, 1t Vainly Tried
For Escape In a Big Tree.

Caught In a Narrow Gully, 1t Vainly Tried
For Escape In a Big Tree.
Scared animals leap distances and
heights that must surprise themselves
at times, just as men i'll state OF ex-
citement do things that astonlsh them
when they cool down and begin to think
about what they have done. When
man makes a long jump up in the
Adirondacks to get across brook he IS
said to have dumped like deer, but
should the man have made leap, as
over a high fence or across a broad
brook, being at the time in a state OF
excitement, as having bull close after
him, he jumps then "like a scared
deer, 3" scared deer making jumps the
unalarmed one could not make.
Tigers do not ordinarily take to trees
but they have been known to dose when
badly scared at being close pressed.
Cantain S. d. Browne tells of an Indian
tigers leap that landed it in tree top
The captain was waiting for the beaters
to drive a tiger his way, when one OF
the big cats appeared at the top OF
steep, stony ravine close at hand. The
big bullet from the captains rifle
knocked the tiger head over heels dowr
the gully banks 1t fetched up agalns
the bottom Oh its feet. Then it made
frantic dash across the ravine bottom II
a. tree The sides of the gully were to-
steep for even a cat to climb, and "
and down there were men ready Tor II
The hunted tiger had but singh
chance, slim though it was. The tree a
which it had dashed might conceal !
from the hunters, and up it Jumped

TO MAINTAIN A PRINCIPLE
A Quaker Firm That Sacrifices Hundreds
of Thousands Year.

A QUAKER FIRM luhb 'aoiinSSo @AN"
of Thousands q Year.
There is probably not another bust
ness firm in the United States, or, Tor
that matter, in any other country IN the
world, that annually sacrifices hundreds
of thousands of dollars of trade simply
to maintain a principle, as Whitall,
Tatum & Co., the Quaker glass manu-
facturers of Philadelphia, do and have
done for nearly 70 years.
The firm was established in the early
part of the century, and its founders
were strict and consistent members OF
the Society of Friends. They did not
believe in war, nor in litigation, nor III
the manufacture or sale of Intoxicating
LIQUORS, and they established rule
which has never been violated.
Whitall, Tatum & Co. have never
made whisky flask, nor any sort or
description of bottle intended to contain
either malt, vinous or spirituous liquors.
This includes the small walls called
"samples, which are similar to those
made to display samples of Illuminating
and lubricating oils Should an intend.
ing purchaser ask for oil samples
and say they were to be used for whisky
he could not buy them at any price.
The army and navy departments OF
the United States have sought several
times to buy glassware from the firm
but the patronage has invariably been
refused on the ground that the furnish
ing of any sort of supply for the aid OF
comfort of persons engaged i'll war OF
maintaining peace by force of arms was
contrary to the tenets of the Society Of
Friends, and therefore could not bf
considered. The senior member OF thu
firm, recently deceased, was typlca
