A SHANHAI paper has soundly
taken Great Britain to task fo1
having followed a policy of moder-
alton in advances made in the
Chinese Empire. 1t is argued that
Great Britain long ago had the
opportunity to occupy the best
ports along the Chinese coast, but
by waiting for another to move, is
now obliged to stand by and watch
the other powers snatch up plums
that were once well within its
grasp. Little or no credit is given
Japan for bringing about the dis
memberment of the Empire. The
writer maintains that s" it may be
for the good of humanity that the
shrinkage of China has already be-
gun, but most of US regret that it
has been indiscreetly FASTENED by
the conduct of Japan who, be it
was the first to initiate
the process. 1t is, perhaps, only in
with the eternal prin-
ciples of justice that Japan has had
little profit or glory out OF her
acquisitions.

The average man know:
nothing about fitting up stores
until he gets half through
the work; the thing looks
easy enough when the de-
signs are carefully drawn on
paper and everything appears
to fit to a nicely. But when
the men get at it and have
open instructions to make an
excellent job they are work
ing by the day., it is differ
ent and every moment
counts.
We had expected to show
you on the 18th the grandest
array of goods for the home
that you ever saw, but there
was the elevator to place and
the solid oak counters to
polish and Offices to get into
shape. To do it all and have
it done with the same care
and attention to detail by
the 18th was out of the
question. The men have
worked harder than if they
had been doing it under con-
tract, but the job could not
be done.
Monday, the 18TH, is now
Set for the opening day. Ali
the cheap goods we have
written about will then be
ready for your inspection.
The crockery will be there in
a position that is bound to
catch your eye whether you
want to see it or not. Stoves
such as you never imagined
and at prices that will as
found you will have your
attention. And so will every
thing else. Saucepans, for
instance; a small item with
us, but the one you pay
SI.75 for in other establish
we sell you at $I.Io
and make a profit.
1t IS the same with every
thing else as with saucepans.
Remember, Monday, the |
18TH, is the day the store will |
be open. You have an in-I
vitation to call.

NEW Works. FOOD SUPPLY.
Enough Always on Hand to Withstand
Four Months Siege.

Enough Always on Hand to Withstand n
Four Months Siege.
If the city of New York and the
neighboring district were to be besieged
or in some other way entirely cut off
from the outside world, and therefore
deprived of the food supplies which in
normal times come in daily in large
quantities, how long would it be before
the pinch of hunger would be felt!
That is very hard question to answer,
for the reason that there are such in
equalities of purchasing capacity in
New York society that some go hungry
in times of greatest prosperity for lack
of means, while the great majority eat
more than is good for them. Undoubt-
edly the number of those who always go
hungry would be increased after two or
three days of q siege, and then day by
day this number would increase until
the public authorities would feel COM
PEELED to take possession Of the food sup
plies and distribute them among the
people. With the exception of milk and
some other things, the supply OF meat
poultry, hardy vegetables and fruits
would last for two months at the present
rate of consumption. II all the supplies
were taken charge Of at the beginning
of a siege-and this could easily be
done-the food within New York could
be made to last for four months at least.
The siege of Paris lasted only foul
months. Before two months had passed
high and low, rich and poor, had learn
ed what hunger was. And, as is vel
known, the French are the most thrifty
and economical people in the world. Ii
the arrangement and disposition OF fooc
the Parisians are specially distinguish
ed. But the food supply in New Yorl
could be made to last as long as thu
Paris siege lasted, and the people would
still be comfortable. - Ladies' Home

Water Teats.

Pour half pint of water into wide
mouthed jar; close the mouth and shake
violently for n minute. II an offensive
odor is perceived, the water is contaminat-
ed probably by sewage. Another test: To
a little water add drops of dilute sulphur
lc acid and enough of potassium perman-
ganate to tinge the water faint pink.
Cover the vessel with a saucer II after
Is minutes the pink tinge Is still visible,
the water is probably wholesome A third
test: Pour little solution Of silver nitrate
(lunar caustic) into n carefully cleaned
glass and see that 1t remains transparent;
then pour in the water. IL q strong milk
iness appears, drop in "A little dilute nitric
acid II the milkincss still remains, the
water contains much sodium chloride,
which may indicate sewage contamination
or may indicate proximity to the seashore
To test for lead in water I'LL glass tum-
bier and place 1t on a piece of white paper.
Add a drop OF two of dilute nitric acid ana
then little hydrosulphuric acid. II lead
be present, a dark brown tinge will be
seen in the water when II Is looked at from
above. The simplest way Of avoiding dan
ger Is to drink only boiled water. The
water should he boiled and then cooled In

The Word DOLLAR"

According to one authority, the word
"dollar" is corruption of the German
word "thaler, the form i'll Dutch be-
ing .'daalder. All these different forms
were derived from Joachim's Thai, a
Bohemian town, where the count OF
Schlick, A. ID. 1918, coined some ex-
cellent pieces in silver of one ounce in
weight. From the name OF the town
came Joachim's thaler, applied to the
above named coins as well as that OF
Schlicken thaler. Hence, Joachim S
thaler pieces were first contracted INTO
Joachim's thalers and then into thalers.
These coins gained such reputation
that they became pattern, SO that
others of the same kind, though made
in other places, took the name, the word
assuming different spelling through the
low countries, reaching Spain as dol
lars. and through its provinces trans
mitted to the western hemisphere, where
II was applied to coins prior to the
adoption of the federal currency. IN
coinage the word dollar is favorite,
being found, under various spellings, IN
almost every part of the globe"

Fidelity.

Much discomfort among wage carriers
is manifest at the present time and the
desire to better their condition causes
much agitation. That they have not al
ways had their full share of the profits
of their labor is true. That their home
conditions have often been pitiful and
poverty pinched, cannot be denied. But
one redeeming fact is also apparent.
Those who have been faithful and dill
gent in humble circumstances have al
most always risen from poverty to COM
fort and often to wealth. The greatest
curse is not poverty. Incidence, vice,
carelessness and lack of thrift do more
to keep men poor than all the oppres-
sion Of their fellow men. Employers
complain that they find it difficult to
get men who will be faithful and trust
worthy. Too many work merely for the
wage and watch for the whistle and bell
more than for the interest of their en-
ployer. Such always remain discomfort
ed and usually poor. He that will be
faithful in the little that is another's
will some day be given the much which
shall be his own. The diligent hand
maketh rich. This is as true in Chris
tan service as in worldly business.

Twin City News.

The following Is taken from the Flint
Globe:
The citizens OF Flint were shocked
Monday forenoon by the announcement
OF the death OF Postmaster John II .
Hicok at his home, lib Liberty street.
He was taken III late Saturday after
noon and was driven home in hack.
The illness was caused by heart trouble
from which he had suffered periodically
Tor some time. His family were aware OF
this, but the community generally knew
nothing OF IL. His case was not consid-
cred likely to be alarming until Monday
morning when he became suddenly worse
and died at 10 o'clock.
"Mr. Hicok was native OF Homer,
New York, and was born March 20,
1874. He was at school in that village
and prepared for college at the celebrated
Homer academy. He entered Hamilton
college at Clinton and graduated in 1865
and took his Masters degree in 1868.
For time he was engaged in business
with hrs father, the late William Hicok,
at Homer. In 1879 the family came to
Flint. Mr.. Hicok read law in the Office
of Long 4 Gold, was admitted to the bar
anu enkdReu III prdcVice. ne war az onc
time city attorney and also held the
Office OF city clerk. He was for time at
torney OF the State board Of pharmacy,
and was one year secretary OF the Gene
see County Agricultural society. He was
appointed postmaster by President
Cleveland on the expiration OF the term
OF George E. Newall. Besides his wife,
to whom he was married 10 1867, he
leaves two sons, John Holly, Of Han
cock, and Edward NJ, OF this city, recent
ly matriculated at Hamilton college, aud
two daughters, Misses Elizabeth s. and
Florence. One sister, Miss Lily Hicok
also survives him.
''Ihe Genesee county bar met Tuesday
evening and adopted resolutions eulogiz'
ing the deceased, ordered an appropriate
floral design and arranged to attend the
funeral.
The funeral was held at p. m. yester.
day at the residence of the deceased and
was conducted by Rev. Henry Neill as.
sisted by Rev. Frederick Hayden and the
burial was in Glenwood. The letter car

Oh, little rosebud, with petals red.
IA you nod by the garden wall
And dewdrops drink,
Do you ever think
That some day your petals will fsllf
Some day your fragrance will all be gone.
Your sweetness a thing Of the past.
For 10 matters not how
Much prized you are now,
Little rosebuds cannot always last.
And, oh, little maiden. with eyes 30 blue,
As you sing and laugh and are gay.

That some day too,
Your roses will pass awayf
But the little rosebud mods ON by the wall,
Carcssed by the winds 80 free:
And the blue eyed girl
Swings in the mad whirl
Unheeding the song and me.

Nod ON and laugh ON
Till your pleasures are gone.

GREAT SPEECHES HEARD BY FEW.
Some Of Them Delivered TO Very small
Number of Auditors.

'""' VI shem delivered To n Very small
Number OF Auditors.
1t IN curious fact that many of the
great speeches which gave Immortality
10 tho orators who made them were de-
hvered in comparatively small rooms
and to small audiences. When Webster
made his great argument in the Dart
mouth college case, aside from the bar
and the officials in charge Of the room,
there were not 90 persons present, and
yet many believe that he spoke to lis
tening senators and other high officials.
When we read Of Patrick Henry's
wonderful display of eloquence, we see
In our minds eye q spacious room and
an immense crowd of people listening
TO his burning words with almost
GREATNESS attention. But, in truth,
many OF these speeches which quickened
or changed the march of events were
delivered in small room and to few
hearers-never more than 100. Gould
1t have been here, in this oaken chapel
OF 90 pews, =" wrote Hosmer, the gifted
author of "Sprondro, " THAT Patrick

that he uttered those words Of doom 80

OH Il
only when the voice of Richard Henry
Lee, that other matchless Virginia ora
tor, who rose to second the words Of
Henry, rang through the room that they
were called back to themselves.
Stewards speech in defense Of Will
liam Freeman was undoubtedly the
greatest and most brilliant effort of his
professional life. 1t did for him more,
perhaps, than the conduct of any case
has given any other in the state of New
York in perpetuating his name. And yet
the audience that listened to him was
less than 1870 in number. A friend ex-
pressed some surprise that an argument
of so much power, learning and elo-
quence should have attracted so few
listeners. my dear SIR" said Seward,
my audience was in no sense limited.
The civilized world was my audience.
Posterity will hear it, and generations
unborn will praise or censure it from
the different standpoints in which they
will view it. 1 did not make it for a
part of the madding crowds ignoble
strife. 4"
Horace Greeley said, Stewards
speech in defense of William Freeman
is one Of the masterpieces in the history
of oratory, reason, logic and humanity.
