ness enterprises with success. In no
other country are there so MANY Der
sons who do their work in their own
homes as in France. This has proved
that individualism among working
men is promoted by cooperation
rather than the reverse.
we must go to England however to
study most successfully cooperation
as related to the purchase for con-
sumption OF all commodities, the
prot1ts going to the consumers. Co.
operative stores have become very ex-
tensive all over the United Kingdom.
and so great and long-continued has
been their success that it is no longer
an experiment.
One of the fundamental principles of
English cooperative societies is fair
dealing. Each applicant for member
ship must accept the principle and be
guided by a desire to promote truth
ft1lness, justice, and economy in ex-
change by the abolition of false deal
ing, never representing any article
other than it is known to be. or con-
cealing from the purchaser any fact
which will aid him in Judging of the
value of what he buys.
To those of us who know to what
an enormous extent dishonesty enters
into all trade, even in q civilized coun-
try, and how impossible it is to pre-
vent being cheated except by spend
ing more ingenuity, toll, and nervous
energy to protect ourselves, and even
then often without success, than most
OF tbs can afford, this simple rule of
dealing fairly with all customers will
be a revelation.
A store is not only place to pur-
chase the necessities of life, butitis also
an educational institution. Mr.. Hol-
yoke calls it guild rather than a
shop or a store. A shop cares only
for your custom, and will treat YOU
honestly, perhaps, to retain this Gus
tom. A cooperative store or factory
cares for your welfare, and would
benefit it's members by making life
pleasanter, and confer less mastery
and more individuality and indepen-
dence. The store is visited daily by
the head of the family, and is to some
extent a center of thought as well as
of trade; it gives instruction in classes
in domestic economy, and has its fes-
tival days and lectures on various
subjects.

THE Z. S. AND CHINA.
All We Want is Commercial Priv
ileges Equal to Those OF
Other Nations.

New York, Jan. 24.-There is reason to
believe that the moral influence of the
United States will support great Britain
in her effort to keep China open TO the
commerce of the world, AYERS the Wash
ington correspondent of the Herald.
The only active steps which the admin
istration will probably take in the matter
will be to enter the negotiations with
Germany respecting the treatment OF
American ships entering kiaO Chou and
such other ports in China as may be
seized in the future by Russia or Japan.
If China has leased kiao Chou on the
condition that it shall be opened by Ger
many as a Chinese port, then 1t Will not
be necessary for the President to take
the steps IN the matter Said an official
OF the administration: 1T Will mean that
the commerce of all nations will he al
lowed unrestricted entry thereto. If, rs
We believe. kiaO Chou should be leased
to Germany without conditions, then Ger
many Will have the right and VIII un-
doubtcdly exercise it to put in operation
port and customs regulations such as are
now III force in German home ports.
The United States cannot make obJec-
ton to the extension of such regulations
to kiao Chou in such an event, for 1t
viii be German soil to all intentS and
purposes as in Hamburg. However, the
administration VIII expect from 'fti MANY
privileges that may be granted by her To
aGy other nation. and will. therefore, reap
the advantages which Great Britain's at
tirudc against the shutting of the Chinese
door to the commerce of the world VIII
give. This is required in accordance with
the articles of the treaty between PruS-
Sa and the United States Of May |,
1873. which provides: If either party
shall hereafter grant TO any other nation
any particular favor of navigation or
commerce ii shall Immediately become
common to the other party, freely where
it is freely granted to such nations, or
yielding the same compensation when the
grant is CONDITIONAL
Attaches of the Chinese legation are
naturally very much pleased ut the atti-
rude assumed by Great Britain. as they
appreciate that she will have the moral
influence Of the United States and other
nations trading with China which have
no territorial designs on the celestial en-

inau@urated means. they feel confident,

He tried the best physicians and used
several specific rheumatism cures without
being benefited. About one year and six
months ago he read in this paper of a
case somewhat similar to his which was
cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some

the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi-
ness left him. and he has now for over a
year been entirely free from all his former
trouble and enjoys better health than he
he has had since his boyhOod.

He looked at the sweet, pleading face.
How could he dash the light and bright

Foreign Ruo Pests in Enpland

Reports of English argriculturists show
that not only are the native insects, which
are the enemies of all farmers, holding
their own. but that their efforts have been
outdone by insects of foreign importation.
There is. for example, maggot that
comes from North Africa. which, under
favorable circumstances, develops into the
-tngumGis moth. and is making efforts to
hccome Il natUralized member of the Eng

is said to come from Germany. Hitherto

SoCiety's La,e Hours.

To what lengths society viii carry the
late hours which become later and later
every season, it is impossible to predict.
for when we consider that even decade
ago 1 O'Clock was considered late dln-
ner hour and guests were hidden at least
nominally to balls at 9 o'clock, the pres
ent ultra-fa shion of $50 o'clock for din
uers and IL o'clock for 4 dance. seems
great change and old fogieS cannot but
ask. "What next?' as they remember.
with a shrug and sigh the day When
O'Clock even was considered an lnnova-
ton, and when they donned evening
clothes once year at 10 O'Clock III the
morning and made New Years calls until
dark.
What barbarians we werer' thinks the
old fogy; and yet; those were pleasant
times" 1t is London that is setting us
the fashion in this, as in many other up
to-date social fads. Some of these are
desirable. where others are not. but these
late hours in Il way may be said to be to u
certain extent advantageous: that IS. they
make many things practicable which 9th
erwiSe would be Representatives,. They
certainly extend the time a man oil
business may now come up town and 90
TO his club, or take cup of tea with

Ia these late hours mean nee ssarliy dis
sipation. In old days dances were pro-
pn@cd into the wee sma' hours. Just as
auch rs now; they are simply shortened

advantage.
Another London fashion which has
been adopted of late is the length of time

seem that our society must cry Halt.
