PLANTATION Of its scope aud purpose.
The ordinary English and American
calendar giving the days Of the week
and the days OF the month, ends its
usefulness with that service. The
Chinaman demandsa little more. lie
must have not only the dates butia d.
rectory. The calendar for 1896 viii
show the name and address OF every
Chinese merchant IN New York and
San Francisco. It will give also the
dates of the various feast days through
ont the year the feast of tie red dog
and the worshipful stork, the feast OF
the seventeen moons and the feast OF
the golden sharks and all the rest of
them. Then, ii you wish to know the
virtues of any of the merchants Of
Chinatown you will find them recorded
in the calendar. The names are CLASH
fed by location instead OF being ali ha-
betically arranged as ia our calendars,
something, by the way, that would be
impossible with the complex charac-
tiers of the Chinese written language.

the upper left hand corner showing an

banner much larger than his horse

ances than this" The impartial adds
that the demand Is entirely unprecedent-

asserted that the moral atmosphere OF the
United States is very defective, and that

was only on the surface, and American
politicians, he added. have no prestige.
He concluded with the remark that in

ment.
Admiral Beranger. minister OF marine,
