IMPERIAL EDITOR OF
EXCLUSIVE NEWSPAPER.

1t is not generally known that the
Emperor of China is a newspaper editor,
but he is, nevertheless. More than
that, his journal has the proud distinc-
tion of having appeared regularly each
day for the last 500 years. The only
drawback, if considered from pecuni-
ary standpoint, is its limited circula-
ton. Only one copy is prin,ed each
day. The name of this unique jour-
nal is the Pekin Gazette. 1t is theorga
Of the Chinese imperial court, and each
day the single copy is tackled up on
big board outside the Purple City,
where the emperor lives. 1t averages
sixteen pages. The sheets are about
seven inches long and three wide, and
the reader begins at the lower right
hand corner and runs his eye up and
down the vertical columns from right
to left, which is the Chinese way.
The paper contains nothing but strict
ly exclusive news; there is no adver-
tising, and there never has been an adj
vertisement in its pages. Most of the
articles are dictated by the emperor
himself, and they general consist of-of-
fetal acts and reports. The emperor's
assistant in his editorial duties is his
mother. All news relating to the con-
dtion of the kingdom, or. anything
else that the emperor wishes to keep
from his subjects,is of course rigorous
ly excluded, and no Chinese journalist
dares to draw any deductions or make
any comments upon what appears in
this royal publication. After this pa
per is printed the emperor sometimes
makes marginal notes on it with red
pencil.

San Francisco has an immense rose
bush which resembles an enormous
bouquet. At the top, on one side,
hang clusters ofpure white roses. In the
middle at the top are red roses, blooming
in profusion. Pink roses hang in gay
garlands at the top on the other side.
AL over the bush are branches of roses
of other lines and colors. The delicate
La France, the white Nine. Planties,
two varieties of Homer roses, the Pau
line, Lebeau, the Black Prince, the
Castilan, and the white Lamarque
lend variety, and attest by their pro-
life blooms the virility of the stock
upon which they were grated. Once
there were thirteen distinct varieties
of roses Oh the bush, but the tea-roses
proved to be short-lived, and only the
harder varieties have survived.
There are enough now, eight in all. to
make the bush curiosity. The origi-
nal stock is the June or cabbage rose.
The width at the top is not less than
twenty-five feet, and the height equals
the width. There are many stocks or
trunks springing from the roots. Car
bon is plentifully supplied to intensity
the color of the blossoms.

SERVING THE
HOSTESS FIRST.

The custom of serving the hostess
first at iuncheons or dinners seems q
highly commendable one There are
so many little vagaries and novelties
of service nowadays that it is difficult
to know them at all. \ lady who was
guest of honor at recent DINNER
found herself embarrassed by having
plate handed her holding, apparently,
a whole turkey. She glanced it over
with quick apprehension and could see
no evidence of it being carved. Think
ing that frankness was the best way
out of the situation she appealed to her
hostess for instruction, which, Of course
was courteously impaired. 1t was
with both chagrin and relief that she
found the turkey was in condition to
yield to the touch of fork inserted in
any part of the fowl of which she wish
ed to partake. The list of table silver
grows every season. Many OF the
untensils are passing tancies and are
not heard of, perhaps outside of circles
which constantly seek such novelties.
Obviously, the hostess knows how
she wishes her guests served, and her
example is often relief and Il comfort.

from the experience of Great Britain,
although its skill in governing foreign
dependencies has never been approach
ed by any other people, ancient or
modern. Is it possible that we shall
be rash enough to run the risk of cor
rupting our politics, and destroying
our institutions by trying an expert
ment in which every other nation has
reaped only disaster?

The pursuit Of pleasure is univer-
sal instinct throughout all animated
nature. The love of pleasure is as
much natural appetite rs the love Of
food. We may safely assume, there
fore, that its qualification, when ration
ally indulged, serves some useful and
important purpose. All inquiry not
Cnly confirms this, but shows that
pleasure is necessity, morally, men
tally, and physically. If this be so,
the asceticism which condemns all
pleasure is as immoral as it is foolish.
Our desires seek a great diversity of
objects. These may be worthy or un-
worthy, and our methods of attaining
them right or wrong. But the end
purposcd is pleasure, and frequently its
mere pursuit brings about modified
qualification. There is wide distinc-
ton, however, between pleasure and
happiness, because pleasure may be
virtuous or vicious, whereas happiness
necessarily consists in the former.
Socrates beautifully described happi-
ness as "unrepcnted pleasure" And
it must be selfevident that the pleas
ures which need no repentance are
those alone which are worthy OF at
tainment Prudence is their basis.
The great founder of the philosophy of
pleasure, Epicurus, the best abused
and most misunderstood of the Greek
sagcs, said: "All other virtues grow
from prudence, which teaches that we
cannot live pleasurably without living
justly and virtuously, nor live Justly
and virtuously without living pleasur
ably"
Cni"rtunatcly, the .'rcliyio,ls" have
frequently denounced all pleasure, con
founding the evil with the good, and
many poets and philosophers have fol-
lowed in their wake Thus Cowpcr
| writes of it us That rcrlinr goddess
with zonelcss waist. Another says:
And pain and pleasure e'er shall he,
As Plato says, in company,
Receive the one. and soon the other
W IL follow to reioin his brother"
/ Dryden, 10y 4 gross simiIe, opposes
pleasure to industry, and asks:
"will any dog
Reihedly leave his bitches and his bones
TO turn Wheel?''
and short-lived qualification which does
not make for happiness. bnt rather de-
stroys, in those that indulge them, the
| power to enjoy true pleasure,
"Uuknown 10 them when sen ,ual pleasures cl v
| TO fill the languid pause with finer joy"
What real pleasure is, the celebrated
TillotsOn in one of his sermons partly
informs us:-"There is u great pleasure
in being innocent, because that pre-
vents guilt and trouble. 1t is pleasant
to be virtuous and good, because that
is to excel many others; it is pleasant
to grow better, because that is to excel
ourselves. Nay, it is pleasant even to
mortify and subduc our lusts, because
that is victory; it is pleasant to com
mand our appctites and passions, and
to keep tn, m in due order, within the
bounds of reason and religion, hccau>e

and the means employed in doing it
would require for their enumeration
more space than is allotted to me. A
few years ago it used to be said that
the Governor of province who failed
to become wealthy in two years was
fool. Certain it is that few Philippine
Governors grow wealthy out of their
salaries.
Hostility toward foreigners is in
tense. The extensive export and inl-
port trade of the island is in the hands
of foreign houses, to the great disgust
Of the Spanish, who never weary in
their attempts to frame legislation for
the ruin of these money-making inter
lopers.
All in all, it can hardly be said that
the lot OF the PHILIPPINE native is happy
one. He constantly chates under his
burden, while the half-castes, with
their greater sensitivennss and superior
intelligence, are perpetually boiling
with more or less wcll-conccaled fury.
Were arms and ammunition to be had,
Spain's rule in these islands would be
speedily terminated. As it is, the
natives, stirred up and led by the half
casts, have repeatedly risen against the
government.
Naturally the Philippine native is 4
peaceable, easy-going fellow. Under a
decent form of government he would
give little trouble. No one familiar
with existing conditions can doubt that
Spanish rule has been a curse to these
islands, and it would be happy day
for them should some civilized power
take possession Of them. Their largest
cities are well-nigh defenseless, and
could be readily captured unless defend
ed by powerful naval force.

money the administration has com-
mitted great crime. II it is not
wrong. IL it can be done according

ted crime in not coming this
money before. Who authorizes keep
ing it idle and keeping 1t out Of
circulation while there Is a national
debt TO pay that is drawing interest?
How long has this gold and silver
lain idle and how much interest
would it have stopped IL it had been
used for its legitimate purposes?
Let the silver men keep up their
fight for sound financial principles.
Opposition to bonds and interest
bearing debt 80 long as gold, silver,
or national treasury notes can be cir
culated, is right and creating bonded
debt.so long as other resources are not
exhausted is wrong and crime
against all the people?
