LIHuSG CHANG AND GORDON
For President

"Chinese" Gordon has been gracefully
remem bered by the greatest Chlnsman
of the century. Lii Hung Chsng, In
deed, is said to be the only p9re-olooded
Chinsman in high cffice under the
Marchu dynasty. He is lot Manchu,
or q Mongol, but real Cinnamon 10y
long descent. He has carried out bis
lopg-cherlshed purpose OK visiting the
tomb OF Gen. Gordon in st. Psul's
Cathedral and placed wreath on the
victim of England's seifshness and
Gladstone's blunder.
This incident is, at this moment, q
most unfortunate reflection on the Bit
lsh government. Englsnd's supremacy
in China, which Gordon did much TO es-
tsblish and confirm. hss T. e. i'npsrdiz-
ed, if not really impsiTe':, l. ''e mls-
management OF her affairs IN tie orient.
Her latest Soudsn campaign is general
ly believed to be as foolish, unnecessary
and impractical as that which Gordon
would have made q success II be had
been supported. and which cost his life.
She has left the Armenians, who depend
ed on her, to the pitiless mercy of the
Turk. She is leaving the Cretans to
the same fate. She is badly muddling
her home affairs and her American
relations. And, st this unhappy
moment, LII Hung Chang strongly and
picturesquely recalls one Of the blackest
spots on the record of Great Britain.
All the world lays wreath in thought,
with Ii Hung Chang, on the tomb OF
Gordon, and looks with as much wonder
ss he on the conduct of great empire.

Where Will Canaigre Grow?

The following extract from Bulletin
No. q of the Arizona Experiment Sta
ton will give the information asked by
many as to whether csnaigre may be
grown in their respective localities.
The best conditions for the growth Of
caneigre are cool but not freezing eli
mate, a moderate amount OF moisture,
sandy fertile soil, aRd probably, also,
a sunny and arid atmosphere. These
conditions ara nowhere comb ned more
perfectly or for longer PERIOD of the
yeav than during the six or seven cool
or months in the arid southwest. A
mean temperature of about 20 degrees
or less is required for the growth OF
csnsigre. Above this, even though there
is abundant rain, as was the case IN
August, the roots will not do more than
sprout feebly, and various attempts to
make them grow in hot weather have
failed. This seems to limit canalgre to
the south west, for nowhere else, except
ing possibly 10 some Southern states Is
there so long period of mild weather.
1t has been grown experimentslly IN
Florida with some success but in the
northern states the interval between the
severe cold OF winter and the extreme
heat of summer is too short to allow Of
much root development. The sprout-
ing of the roots in August under the in
| fluenca OF rain suggests that IN the cul-
ture OF c8naigre one or two sdmmer IT
- could tho rlont
grow more promptly Oh the advent OK
cool Gather.
The growing pant will stand good
deal of cold. When frosted the leaves
| lie PROSTATE upon the ground, but i'm
mediately regain position when thawed
out by the sun. The root will endure
freezing. 1t has been left in the ground
all winter sixty miles north of New York
City, subjected to temperature as low
as 10 degrees below zero. without in
Jury. At Lincoln, Nebraska, the roots
stood very severe winter without any
damage Whatever. At Perios, Illinois,
paintings made in 1865 were still alive in
| 1895, and similar results are noted at
| Washington, ID. c., and Garden City
| Kansas. The new root development,
| however. Is stated IN number OF cases
| TO D6 luSlSulHChub uHucl SUN COnui'
| tions.
AS to locality, cansigre is found more
commonly in sandy washes where water
is more abundant. With irrigation il
I will make a good growth in any fertile
tillable ground, but the influence of sol
conditions on actual production has been
little studied. 1t seems to stand con,

salt grass meadows of Tia Juans Valley

Value of Canaigrs Tanning Materials
In Bulletin 81 of the Arizona Station,
Professor Forbes says: GAS regards
the ualue of canslgre tanning materials,
the earlier favorable opinions of tanning
chemists have been excellently support
ed by the experience Of the trade. From
various sources il is learned that canal
gre chips and extracts have been sue
cessfully employed, either alone or in
connection with other tanning materials
for the production OF a remarkable var
iety of feathers, including both heavier
and lighter grades. According to the
statements Of different tanners it is en-
ployed in the production OF:
l. Patent and enamellsd leatbers
for the carriage, saddlery and upholstery
trades
2. Patent and enamelled leather for
fine shoes.
3. Carriage covers and dssh board
leather
4. "A high grade of carriage and fur
niture leather and q fair grade of pat
ent shoe tipping
3. Upper grain on similar light lea-
ther.'
s. East India kips finished as waved
ed leather
7. yellow for mittens, horse hides,
butts, kangaroo, glazed kid, and other
fine shoe leathers.'
8. The heaviest cole and harness

IT has been noticed that in spite or
tho strict censorship exercised upon the
press in all monarchisl countries OF Eu-
rope, the newspapers OF Austria and
Hungary have been filled with the most
venemous attacks upon the Archduke
Otto ever since Emperor Francisco Jo'
seph proclaimed him heir to throne a
few weeks ago. These attacks are 30
skiIlfully worded that the authorities
scarcely know how to deal with them,
those, for instance, in one OF the most
widely circulated journals taking the
form OF replies to the inquiries OF imaG-
mary correspondents regarding the ha-
bits, the faults and questionable antece-
dents OF certain iilustrlous parsonage
not named, but who. Of course, every
body easily recognizes by the descrip-
ticns so lsvishipgly given. What is sig
nifcant about the matter is that the
press, not merely of one party, but OF
every shade of political opinion, joins
in the attacks on Archduke Otto, those
OF Vienna being quite as violent ss
those at Pesth. Tee matter is causing
the eravest concern to the emperor, who
fully realzee that the cohesion OF his
empire and its strength is due almost
exclusively to bis personal popularity,
and who sees therefore in the pronounc-
ed poblc aversion TO his nephew and
heir, very grave peril to the dynasty
and to the nation. Indeed, it is indeed
By no means improbable that the en-
peror may be ultimately led by all this
to make other arrangements for the sue
cession to the throne.

The Secret of Power.

Nothing saps strength like sorrow and
dependency. One in olden time stilled
the wailing of the people, declaring 1.-THE
10Y of the Lord is our strength. " knowl-
edge Of our faults never makes us better.
1t only shows us how bad we have been
and are. 1t may lead to disgust, self
contempt, despair and ruin. The awak-
ening of desire and hope for betterment,
anticipation of good gives heart and life
and makes advancement possible. One
who is a slave to his work and frets and
chafes under his yoke grows old early.
He alone masters his task who with
cheerful heart and sense of power carries
his burdens hopefully and happily. 1t Is
not hard work which kills most people
1t is heart failure. They lose heart anf
hope and collapse under petty difficul
| ties.
Hard work, sound sleep, trust i'll God
n clear conscience and good sense vii

bic. The secret of all lies i'll working
with God and for Him, in conscious am
