THE EMPEROR OF CHINA.
The Routine Life of the Head of the
Great Eastern Empire.
Lady's Pictorial.

Naturally very little is known of the pri-
vate life of the Emperor of China, but from
time to time few interesting facts crop
rise every morning at o'clock. AT 3, by
which time his toilet Is completed he
receives the minister's and from that time
breakfasts at 9. and dimes at in the
afternoon. In spite of the great number of
officials and servants in the palace. the poor
man is perhaps the worst-served master in
the world. The menu for every day is writ
ten out long time beforehand, and as 1t is
by no means certain that such things as
young vegetables and certain kinds of fruit
are to be had on given day, things are so
badly arranged that they often make their
first appearance on the Emperors table
when they have been in season at least a
month. 1t is strict etiquette that no single
thing of kind shall ever be put before his
Majesty; everything, even the fish, must be
served in pairs. He is rather fond of good
living and should he by chance, in the opin-
ion of any of the doctors. who are always
present at every meal, eat too much of any
favorite dish it is never allowed to appear
again in the menu. The expenses OF the
imperial kitchen are enormous. but with It
all the Emperor has a sort OF Barmecide
feast.
In his capacity of high priest the En-
peror has 10 offer at least forty-six sacri-
fees to different gods in the course of a
wear and as to each sacrifice is dedicated
one or more holidays which must be passed
by him in complete solitude, the miserable
monarch's time must be pretty we'll taken
UP. These sacrifices are made by him either
by night or about dawn, and the houses
along the route taken by him. as he is car
ried in his closed palanquin through the
deserted streets of the city, are hung with
black. the effect of which is unspeakably
depressing. 1t is also a very strict religious
rule that his Majesty shall offer in the
course of every year many hundreds of silk
balloons before the tablets of his ancestors.
the unbroken line of whom extends back
before the lifetime OF our Lord. These bal
looms are made of the richest silk obtain
able, and several of the imperial silk manu-
id ,Clr
through with the fabrication of the ma
tarial.

rights of protectorate over Luzon or any of
the islands of the archipelago, and our COM
missioners in Paris will defend energet-
ically the Spanish rights against the Amer
lean claims" The question of our control
or disposition of the Philippines is not one
of international law or of rights in the tech
nical sense, but one of a victor's demands
and the power to enforce them. We have
the same right to demand a part or all of
the Philippines that we would have had to
demand a war indemnity of $4,000 900 or
any other sum, and Spain is in no better
condition to resist one demand than the
other. 1t is not for the vanquished to define
the rights of the victor.

The full text of Aguinaldo's address to
the President and people of the United
States shows that it is a strong protest
against the charge of treachery towards the
Americans and an earnest appeal that the
Philippine islands shall not be given back to
Spain. He says all the hopes and plans of
the Filipinos are centered on opposition to
Spanish rule. and that America can reach
a perfect understanding with the govern
ment of the islands If Spain is allowed no
voice" On the score of humanity we owe
as much to the Philippine insurgents as
we did or do to the Cuban. and it would
be little less than infamous to return the
islands or any part Of them to Spanish rule.
