China.

The Matchoorian has always been
aware that there were large deposits of
coal Gin his midst" but he used to i'm
agine that they were under the control
of evil spirits, and he therefore would
not touch them himself nor allow any
one else to. A good deal of that old
nonsense has been brayed out of him by
recent events-the war and the practi-
cal enterprise of the Russians in his ter
ritory-and the fields arc now being
opened. They are abundant and are
found all over the country and will have
the most important influence in its de-
velopment. The climate, soil and geo.
graphical situation Of Manchuria are
favorable to the maintenance of large,
enlightened and progressive population,
the root Of which, in many races inter
blended through many ages, is already
there. With Russian railroad running
through the country and Port Arthur
as the outlet and inlet of it's commerce,
a new chapter of its history will be
opened, and the humdrum career which
it has pursued since the days of Kublai
Khan, and as much further back as any
body wishes to go, may merge into a
more active and enterprising one, Civ
ing her a new status in the world and q
new relation to its affairs. New York

the Date OF Their Origin Unknown, TneI
Are So Very Ancient.
If you desire to know about the scar.
city Of really reliable data Oh the histo-
~ of spoons, take down your handbooks
aud encyclopedias and see if it doesn't
take you long while to learn anything
concerning their origin, nativity"
etc. In fact. the antiquarians do not
pretend to give us anything of value in
that line. 1t is admitted that they are
livery ancient" but just exactly how
old they are and by whom and where
they were first used are points upon
which we are left completely in the
dark. Creighton says, Spoons must
have been very ancient invention, for
Saxon spoon of perforated silver gilt,
ornamented with gems was found in a
grave at Sarre, Thanet."
When forks were unknown, spoons
played very important part at the ia
BILE. Spoons of the thirteenth century,
and even later, had handles terminal
ing in knob, knot, acorn or other odd
and cumbersome devices. About the
period Of the restoration, of which go
much is said in English history, great
change was made in the forms Of
spoons. In some of the unique patterns
the "spoon" part was divided into two,
three and even four parts, and the han
die always split or twisted and turned
up instead of down and back. Spoons
Of that period were all blunt instead of
being pointed as in the forms generally
seen at present. They continued short
and blunt down to the time of George
I, when they were first made pointed
and had the handles turned down in
stead of up.
About the year 1900 what We're
known as opposite spoons were intro
duced. They were so called because
they had the figures Of the IL apostles
carved upon their handles. They were
generally given by sponsors to children
at their time of baptism. The wealthy
presented the entire 10, those who could
not afford to indulge in such extrava-
gance giving one or more, according as
they felt able.
The most curious and remarkable
spoon in the world perhaps is "coro-
nation spoon," preserved among the
other royal relics in the tower of Lon
don. The bowl is of gold and the ham
die of silver. The handle is split down
the middle and set with all kinds of
precious stones. The relic is valued at
about 100000, or upward Of 500, ZOO.

Black Eye for Mileage Scheme.
The travelling mems 2-cent mileage
scheme seems to have received black
eye, at least for the present. Although
there are still large number of petit
tions coming in, the members of both
houses seem to feel that it is too radical
step in the matter of legislation to take
ut an extra session. Last week letter
was published purporting to come from
the railroad commissioners, which de-
voted considerable space to the analysis
of the situation, and from resume of
the reports of the interstate commerce
commission and the reports of the state
commission made the deductions that
at the present time the average fare
charged in Iowa is not above the actual
cost of transporting the passengers; and
that within the last three or four years
passenger earnings have decreased with
out corresponding decrease in the cost
Of doing business.
From the statistics at md they esti-
mated that after charging the passenger
business with proportionate share of
the fixed charges, not including divi-
dends, and crediting it with the mail
and express earnings, it costs the Iowa
roads 2.57 cents to carry one passenger
one mile. From the reports of the vari-
GUS roads doing business in Iowa, made
to the Iowa commission, it is estimated
that the average amount received by
these roads for carrying one passenger
mile is 2.27 cents, showing that the
Iowa roads are carrying passengers at a
loss at the present rates Of fare.
This letter Of the commissioners was
answered by ex-Railroad Commissioner
Frank L. Campbell. He went into the
statistics somewhat extensively himself
and said that the reports of the Iowa
commissioners for 1895 showed that the
trunk lines i'll the state, which really
done the bulk of the business, actually
received for carrying one passenger one
mile the following amounts:

Ex- President Cleveland Expresses his
Opinion Of the Present

Opinion Of the Present
Administration.
The following extract taken from
the speech of ex-president Cleveland
delivered at the annual dinner of the
Reform Club, at hotel Waldorf, New
York City. in his reply to the toast,
"Presert Problems" gives his opin
ion of the conduct of the present
administration in subordinating the
currency question to that of the
tariff:
The party placed in power as the
result of splendid democratic patri
otism has failed to meet the obliga-
tons of the peoples trust. It's dis
tioct campaign declaration that it
was unreservedly in favor of sound
money, the character and controlling
effectiveness of the support it gain
ed on the faith of that declaration,
the universal concession that the
conflict oa financial theories consti-
tuted the issue which was passed
upon by the suffrages of the people
and the country's pressing exegen
cies and needs, all demanded prompt
and efficient action by the party en-
trusted with power, in an effort to
place our nations finances, adjusted
to every popular need, upon a safe
and sure basis, approved by the
business judg ment of the land, and
secure from successful attack be-
cause defended by majority of the
thoughtfully honest men of all
parties.
Instead, however, of addre sing
themselves to this task, the man.
ayers and representatives of this
victorious party, these professed
champions of sound finance, have
before the eyes of an expectant peo
pie, returned in hot has te to their
wallowing in the mire of extreme
protection, offending millions of
voters by their exhibition of party's
bad faith, and disgusting millions
more by their unconcealed determin
alton to repay partisan support from
the proceeds of increased burdens
of taxation placed upon those al
ready overladen
In the meantime the allied forces
of calamity, encouraged by these
mallgn conditions. are still active
and aggressive. They confidently
speak of the encounter in which
they failed of success. as only ''the
first battle and gladly hail every
untoward incident and every added
pretext for passion and resentment,
as new aud welcome allies in the
