A PICTURE OF CHINA TO-DAY
Corruption In Office Is a Com mon DC
cnrrence

Mandarindom literally gneth about
as roaring lion seeking what it can de
YOUR, says the North China Herald. Of
fees are held at fixed prices by metro
politan and provincial authorities; +;
taxes are collected in full. but are deci-
mated before they reach the imperial
treasury; the big fish eat the little
fish, and the little fish eat mud" by
which simile the Chinese proverb ex-
presses aptly the fact that the great
officials feed upon the smaller ones, and
that they in turn feed upon the people.
No official position in the empire can be
obtained without the use of money. nor
retained without illegal practices If,
then, nothing can be hoped for from the
rulers of China, what can be said about
the student class which is placed at the
head of the four divisions of the people :?
This class is conceited beyond endur-
ance; they still speak of the round
heaven and square EARTH" and dilate
upon the five elements" Foreigners
are still to them barbarians who came
to China to learn the laws of propriety;
the hVe great continents represent only
divisions of ancient feudal states trib-
utary to their country, and commerce
is despised as only being taken up by
those who have not the mental power to
master books. They wear large Cog
giles, cultivate their finger nails into
enormous lengths, assume the swagger-
ing gait with which Confucius is said to
have walked, and have silentcOntemDt
for all but themselves. They regard
woman as their inferior and rightful
slave

HOW TO PRINT a BOOK.
Cannot Be Taught in an Essay or a
Volume.

How properly to plan or print book
Is not to be taught in an essay or even
in a volume. As we'll try to give a
formula for the painting of q picture or
the writing of poem, says the Outlook.
1t must be presupposed that the planner
of a new book is familiar with we'll
printed books, that he has some knowl-
edge of the processes of printing and
that he will take counsel with experts.
Refusal to seek this counsel often leads
to serious consequences.
An author who insisted on being his
own publisher began an expensively il
Illustrated quarto before page was put
in type by ordering the full-pa9e illus
trations 20 be printed in an improper
position on the leaf. In disregard Of an
other protest from the topographic
printer he insisted on faulty margins
about the pages of type. When the
sheets were gathered by the binder the
complete book showed too much back
margin for the type and too little for
the illustrations. The binder had to cut
off the backs of the folded sections to
reduce all the print to single leaves and
to resew each leaf by an expensive and
unworkmanlike method. So treated
the book barely passed acceptance. The
lost time. wasted paper, increased cos
and bad workmanship could have beer
avoided If the author had formed plar
and counseled with an expert.

WHY HE CUT THE WIRES.
Cyclist Brought Assistance by an In
genious Process.

Cyclist Brought Assistance by an In
genious Process.
The person who wrote that elec-
tricity was one of the mighty agents
of nature enchained by the ingenuity
of man." says the Electrical Review,
can scarcely have contemplated in his
widest dreams the full extent OF that
ingenuity. For instance, he is scarce
ly likely to have prophesed that
sick man, far from habltations of civ
ilization, could have cut a telegraph
wire in order to obtain assistance. And
yet such has really occurred. The
whole of the vast continent of Australia
was practically cut off from European
news for "a hours in the middle of
September in consequence of an inter
ruption on the line between Adelaide
and Port Darwin. Inquiries were made.
and it was found that the wire had been
cut by a cyclist who had been taken
i'll while on journey across the CONT
nent. II was not related how he set
about it, but he had the satisfaction
at any rate of getting what he wanted
It is not desired to establish this as a
precedent of summoning help under in
convenient circumstances.
