From Japan and China.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-Advices
from Toxic state that the trial of Mrs.
W. 81. r. Carew, for the murder of her
husband by poisoning, is set to COM
mence on January 4. The case prom,
ises to be one of the most sensational
on record.
There is an almost universal feeling
among the Chinese that this is critical
hour in the history of their country,
that great changes are imminent and
that the wisest management is neces-
ssry to avoid national shipwreck.
There is great deal OF unrest and not
q little secret disloyalty.

Gov. HASTINGS, of Pennsylvania,
recommends that the law of his State
be so amended that the payment of the
poll tax as prerequisite to voting
shall be in person and not by proxy.
Pennsylvania always gives enormous
republican majorities. In democratic
Virginia man needn't pay his poll
tax either in person or.by proxy. nor in
any other way, to enable him to vote.
But there are none more in favor of 3
free vote in the South than the repub.
licans of Pennsylvania.

THE embezzlement of trust funds has
become such common and wide spread
crime in Massachusetts that the Gov
ernor of that State recommends to the
Legislature the enactment Of laws that
will restrict it, for the protection OF both
individuals and communities. There is
no doubt that crime of all sorts is in
creasing at rapid rate in this country,
but none more than that of stealing.
But when the government is robbed by
the hundred million with impunity, how
can communities and individuals ex-
pect to escape? The world has had
many ages, but this is certainly the es-
pecial and particular age of thievery.

THE REPUBLICAN Governor OF the

ensmored of the Australian voting law,
aud says that under it per cent. OF the
ballots cast at the late election in his

thrown out. Aid yet republicans are
contesting the seats of democratic Con-

Now THAT it seems pretty we'll de-
termined that Postmaster General VIII
son will not be president of Washington
Lee University, some Of the Virginia
sushers are recommending General
Craighill, OF the U. S. army, for that
position. General Craighill, though q
native of Virginia, fought against his
State all through the war between the
States, and in the army that defaced
and injured both Westinghouse Uni

how qualified he may be in sill other
respects for the place referred to, that
fact alone would render in unseemly
for him to be in it.

WHILE Congress was wasting time
considering the rival claims of two
American companies for the privilege
of laying Geographic cable across the

SENATOR HILL says it is probable
the boilers will "rejoin the party in
1900, and upset in the convention any
financial or tariff planks that the demo
cratic national committee, which is and
will be controlled by the free coinage
democrats, may prepare prior to the
assembling of the convention" 1t
makes very little difference to any body
now, what Senator Hill says; none at
all to democrats. But if he really
thinks the democratic party will allow
boilers to have any thing to do with its
future management, he has entirely
forfeited his claim either to political
sagacity or to knowledge of human
nature. The democratic party ID hu-

THE PHILOSOPHY OF POVERTY.
Poverty Has q Great Function to Work Out
in the Social Scheme.

SO difficult is possible with God, and
one Of his devices is to furnish field
for philanthropy. 'sSell all that thou
hast. and give to the poor" Here
was the grand opportunity. Quit liv-
ing for self, and live for the needy.
But he turned away with his hand
shut, and his heart shut, and the door
into che kingdom remained shut.
I, 3. It is Gods method of testing
character. When we. stand in the
light Of the great white throne, the
decisive question will be, ''Did you
sympathize with the. suffering and
minister to the needy?' The touch
stone of character is our attitude to-
wards man as man. Do we prize only
the accidents Of his station, the
wealth, the rank and the genius which
attach to him? When stripped of
these do we look coldly on him, turn
from: scorn him? The answer to these
questions tells where we shall stand
in the testing day. Bread to the
hungry, water to the thirsty, clothing
to the naked, sympathy &c the sick
these are the things that will count,
and the only things that will count in
the time that is coming. Are we do
ing these things now? Perhaps We
are too busy. We have no time to be
looking after beggars and tramps. We
are employed about veightier matters.
But these will prove to be rather
weighty matters. One would think
that a. man on trial could hardly be
concerned wish weightier matters than
those which are to determine the ver-
dict for life or death
Such are some of the uses Of the
poor. They have. divine vocation,
and we had as we'll make up our minds
20 live with them. They will be here
after we are gone.-R. G. Reed in
Southern life:

came to town, with his wagon-to get

came loaded-with what do you sup
neae7 The articles and their proper
tion were significant, one lone bale of
cotton and about ten bales Of peavine
hay.
He got his cotton cut and ''started. :"
He carried his sample around and
asked she buyers what they would
give for it. They bid by fractions Of
a cent, till he finally closed at ST.
He went back to his wagon to find
that several persons had stepped to

hay. They didn't "cut'' it or s..bid"
on it; they only asked. "what will yen
take 2" He named his price and got
it.
Ten to one is good; SOME insist on
sixteen to one" and we are not sure
that they are wrong. We do feel sure,
however, chat either ratio, if applied
in the right order to hay, grain and
the like on the ore hand and cotton
on the other, will bring better results
than any financial scheme that can be
devised by the government, good and
important as the scheme may be-

Making Bricks With OH.

An experiment Of considerable in
terest to brick manufacturers and deal
ers has been tried in a brickyard in
New York State, fuel oil being used
instead Of wood OF coal oil to burn a
kiln Of bricks. Fuel oil is tho product
left after crude petroleum has been
refined, 1t has been used for some
time as fuel for engines and furnaces,
but its adaptability for the more deli
cate operation Of burning pottery or
bricks is a recent discovery. The
success Of the experiment. is likely to
reduce the cost of brick making in o
considerable degree. Forced draught
is an important factor in the system,
and by it the heat from the burner
can be directed at uniform tempera-
ture toward any part of the arch Of
tho kiln. The oil runs in pipes around
the base Of the kiln and feeds directly
from the burner in the arch in the
interior. The forced draught "feeda
in" with the oil, and by the turning
Of valve the heat can be regulated at
any point within the arch.
It is claimed that the use of oil is
much cheaper than that of either coal
or wood for brick burning. The cost
Of burning 1000 bricks with wood 9!
$5 cord is 80 cents the cost where
coal is used is 80 cents I; with oil the
cost is 38 cents. In burning bricks
with wood IL men are required every
"a hours If oil is used two men can
do the work. The new method is
quicker, completing the burning Of
the kiln in six days, instead of seven
or eight, as formerly, and the bricks
are better, because with the forced ali
draught the temperature of the kiln is
entirely under control.-Pitts6ur9

The late French Senator, Renaud,
was an earnest Christian, and some
one tells good story of his practical
application of Christianity to daily
life:
When Renaud first came to Paris
from his home in the Pyrenees, he en-
gagged room at hotel and paid q
month g rent-in advance. The pro-
prietor asked. him if he would have
receipt.
"Itis not necessary" replied Renaud.
