after the case of each Government was exchanged and tbe report of the American Commissioner made pub- lie
 MT Sherman further notes that even Prof Thomson admits. in re- gard to the diminution of the Priby- lov seal herd, that now the margin of safety is a narrow ou, ifit be aot already in some measure ogerstep- ped and further, that be advises measures Of prudence which shall keep the pursuit and. slaughter Of the animals within due and definite bounds. Mr Sherman also says that a forthcoming and final report of Dr. Jordon win show that the seal herd last year hadlost one-teath from tbe year before, oue half from 1890, and about four-fftha from its size in 1872 and 1874 Yet the Presidents proposals were rejected. We suppose that itis another in- stance of so.ealled bad manners for Mr. Sherman to set forth fact familiar here, although perhaps not so in England, that, although the police duties are equally obligatory upon both nations under the Paris award, ours las done nearly all the patrolling, Great Britain furnishing only two vessels in a year, and sometimes only one or about enough to receive the captures of British vessels we might make. A ike needed exposure has been made Of Great Britain to require the sealing up of firearms and the insPee tion of skins, measures which our Govern ment considers essential to the ex- eeution of the present imperfect rules.
 The simple faet is that, with the first seasons trial, the iaadeqnaey of the Paris rules to effect their purpose became maifest, and accord ingly our Governmental at once urged their prompt revision This request Great Britain has persistently re- fused fornearly three years although the margin of safety, when pc lagic sealing becomes unprotitable, has nearly been reached, as Mir. Sherman shows He is wise. too. in suggesting to the Victoria sealers the folly Of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Indeed there are are indications that his sharp remonatanees against further delay
 to protect the seals will not be fruit less, and that the desired conference may be held before the elese of the year. New Tori, Sun.

WAGES IN CHINA.

En Spite of Their Lowness the Colestlals
 Waz Fat.
 How q Chinese workman manages 70 support his family and remain sleek and fat on the wages be receives 3s az ever lasting mystery to the European and American. The Chinese are | people of marvellous economy. They will support a family. iumishine food, clothes, s1ei- ter. from small garden which they call fara. but which ii America would not more than furnish an Amer ioan family with carly vegetables
 In cities the laboring men receive the merest pittauee. In Canton, where Ia borers are better paid shan III other parts of China. skilled workmen live on these wages: Shoemaker $4 per month; blacksmith, 5 per month; fine ivory carver SIP per month; tailor, so per month; fine embroiderer, per month5 designer, st per month silyefsmith, S5 per month
 The Chinese are expectations, and the wafkmeB support iii addition to their temples and pasodas and priests, WHICH IttEltH iADAN III liAblNlAAA1-A ttstsAA the churches of Europe and America, idol makers. gaomaneers, fortune tail- CTS, hyaiogaomists. saatbsayers, astrol- ggers and interpreters of dreams, who exist by thousands and coin all the mon ey they want Another thing which makes money for a certain class is the Chinese custom of burning great quan= titics of spirit money, imitation coins, which are supposed to Do legal tender fer dead relatives. Che city alone employs 100. 00o people in making this cash for ghosts
 Peculiar expectations ombafrass fhe workman. Tor instance, carpenters and builders have to exercise great cGre in selecting 8 ridgepola for a house. It must have neither cracks nor knots, and in it a small holo must be made and filled with g8la leaf and the Whele beam painted red This iHsures good luck for the owner of the house.
