NO RELIGION ABOUT FISH.
The Names of Several Are Used as
Term OF OpDFObrium-Skates
for Instance.

Didn't II ever strike you that it's highly
inconsistent to associate fish with Lent, as
the church does, Mrs. Grumpus?" said Mr..
Grumpus at the breakfast table, as he
picked obviously into the suburbs OF his
fish cake with one tine OF his FORK. MT
Grumpus' appetite had been sufficiently
gratified at the club the previous night to
make him a triile critical.
"What put that ridiculous notion into
your head? inquired Mrs Grumpus, with
one eyebrow lifted in a suspicious and IN
quring way.
Take that popular expression; You're
a lobster, continued Mr.. Grumpus. Not
that you are a lobster"
ooh, let remain, You're a lobster, said
Mrs. Grumpus, cheerIully.
"Mariar, don't trifle Lobster, now, IS
term of reproach. That's one instance of the
way the inny world is resorted to for an ex.
preston of censure. Another old phrase IS
as dumb as an oyster The very dumbest
thing on earth or in the waters under the
earth, Marian, is an oyster. It's the very
opposite of a woman, you know ha, ia.
That's one on YOU Ell, Marian? Remember

"Why-er-yes. | believe there is"
as it ever used by men as a smile or a
metaphor in describing other men-some,
times?'
'You don't mean to be personal, Mrs.
Grumpus?"
'Wcll, John, if were man I'd say.
That's one on you'-and now we are ever"
Mr. Grumpus grinned and ate his fish cake

They have good reason, according to their

know these facts, but their followers cam

RusSia's SINH to Tai An

Evidence of Russia's domination in China
continues to accumulate. The latest addi-
ton to the western information on the sub
ject is in the form of dispatch which
states that NJ. de Giers. the newly appoint
ed minister from Russia to Pekin refused
upon his arrival to present his credentials
TO the empress doWager, but insisted upon
handing them in person to the emperor.
His demand was complied with, of course,
and thus Russia was enabled to demon
strate that she is so far in the ascendancy
in China that she can ignore the palace
rules which have of late taken the place
of law and custom. The empress dowager
is generally regarded as a creature of the
st. Petersburg authority. although a woman
of strongly independent tendencies. She
doubtless realizes that there is no such
thing today for her as complete independ-
ence. and that her hold on the ruling power
in China depends upon Russias favor. 1t
has developed to be Russas policy to per-
nit China to retrograde, and it is currently
believed that the isolation of the emperor
and the checking of the reforms which he
sought to institute were instigated if not
actually required by the government at st.
Petersburg. 1t is assured, at all events,
that Russia has profited by the reactionary
movement at Pekin, whether she suggested
it or not. and her influence has dominated
since the war with Japan. If now Russia
prefers to snub the empress dowager by In
sisting upon a direct audience with the
prisoner emperor 1t is plain that the st.
Petersburg authorities do not care to per
nit Tsi An to obtain too exalted a notion
of her power and influence. The game
which is being played at Pekin is absorb
ingly interesting to the world, but unfor-
tunately it is difficult to secure more than
the barest suggestions of the true happen
ings. Rumors are frequent and often start
ling, but they cannot be altogether relied
upon for accuracy. The news sources seem
to be carefully guarded and for diplomatic
reasons the interested governments appear

the morning paper is hastily read before
