The British government owns the
finest residence in Pekln. 1t is occu-
pied by its minister to China and his
stan. which consists of eighteen or
twenty persons, including three or
four commercial attaches" as they
are called, whose business is to study
the commercial possibilities of the
empire and make reports to the for
elgn Office at London for the benefit
OF the British manufacturers and
mechants. There are also several
student interpreters" young men who
are placed there for the purpose of
acquiring the Chinese language and
knowledge Of the customs of the
country prior to their appointment in
the consular service. The British
government will not appoint any one
to it's consular service in any country
unless he understands the language of
that country, which condition does
not apply to the consular service of
the United States. In addition to the
legation in the city of Pekin, the
British Parliament has recently APP
propriated 5000 for the erection os
a summer residence for the use OF its
minister and his officials in the hills
fifteen or twenty miles away. TWEEN
ty-six thousand dollars was also ap-
propriated for the erection of a con-
sulate at Chung King. Wherever the

the japanese government and the
original residence was erected by Mr..
Seward when he was our minister
there. We have paid twenty times
Its value in rent during all these
years, and finally purchased 1t from

trouble, when as matter of fact, in
digestion lays the foundation for many
incurable diseases. No person with n

diseases and heart troubles date their
beginning from poor digestion; thin,
nervous people are really so because
their stomachs are out of gear;
weary, languid, faded out women owe
their condition to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet

not surprising that nearly every secret
