J APPROVED BY CHINA.

Persuaded That the Occupation Of Port
Arthur Was in Her Interest. "
LONDON, Dec. 2O.-The correspondent
of The Times at Pekin says: ''China
approves of the Russian feet wintering
Mt Port Arthur, being persuaded that
this action is taken in the interest Of
China and necessitated BY the German
occupation of Kiao. Chau.'' . X.
"A dispatch d to The Times. from
Shanghai says the occupation Of Port
Arthur by Russia cannot fail to provoke
popular Indignation in Japan, where
public opinion is already excited over
the Kiao- Chau affair.
According to dispatch to The Daily
Mail from Shanghai the high officials
OF the Chinese court have advised the
emperor, in view Of further complica.
tions, to remove the court to Marking,
the Southern capital. The dispatch
says it is reported there that overtures
have been made to England to exercise
protection over the Yang.Tse valley
and the West river, and that numerous
rumors are current regarding the activ.
ity of the British squadron in Chinese
waters. ar" ~
The Standard and Daily Telegraph
and other London papers strongly urge
the government to protect England 9

THE OLD-TIME SAND MAN.
A Figure and a Busine ss That Have
Wholly Disappeared.

Here's your white sand, black sand:
White sand,
White sand and black sand,
Now. here's your white sand.
Black sand MAN"
Such were the words sung by the
melodious voices of a few robust col
ored men through the streets of Wash
ington, says the Star, half century
ago; but the sand man and his business
have entirely disappeared, for no longer
the market exists for the material. The
white sand was then used for scrubbing
purposes and sanding floors, and the
black sand for use on manuscript to
dry the ink. While large quantities
were used in the departments, many
stores and Offices, as we'll as families,
were the consumers, and in some fami-
lies sand boxes are handed down to the
grandchildren. to remind them of the
days of the old quill pen. These men,
with horse and cart, would early in the
morning appear with n few bushels of
white sand, and possibly peck of the
black material, and for a few hours
they would cry it through the streets,
selling by the peck, quart and pintr-a
levy 12h cents) per quart for the
white and often Is cents per pint for
the black. Now scrubbing soap has al
most entirely superseded the white ma
teral, and blotting paper has driven
the black sand out of the market.
