The New York exchanges will be open
for business to-day, the same as
usual, notwithstanding it is Good
Friday. This will be the first time
since 1865 that the exchanges have done
business on Good Friday. The people
who make up the exchanges are of the
opinion that the money interest at stake
is too great to shut up shop for one hour
longer than is absolutely compulsory
Good Friday is not a legal holiday.

How long will it be before the Chinese
empire will crumble into ruins and be di-
vided among the nations of Europe? This
question is suggested by the speech which
was delivered in Parliament day or two
ago by Mr.. Balfour the acting foreign
secretary. Mr.. Balfour said, practically,
that the fate of China was TO be parceled
out among other nations. He did not I'M
dertake to make prediction as to when
the dissolution of the empire would take
place, but he left the impression that
Great Britain would be on hand to get
her share of it when the disntegrating
process began. In fact, she has already
begun to get a share of the empire The
lease of the important port of WeiITIai-
Wei, which she recently obtained, puts
her on a footing with Russia, Germany
and France in China. From one point of
view, that port would be more important
concession than that obtained by either
of the other powers. Great Britain can
be depended upon to look out for herself.
If she fails to get the lions share of
Chinas territory, it will not be her fault
Only a few weeks ago it was thought
that Great Britain was on the eve of war
with Germany and Russia, because they
grabbed portions of China's territory with
out consulting her, but Mr.. Balfour did
not talk war in his speech. He. had TO
occasion to do so. Great Britain, having
begun plundering China also, has no fault
to find with the policy of plunder adop. cd
by the other powers. And poor old China
permits herself TO be plundered without a

Time to Tax Beer.
From the Springfield Republican Qnd).

A dozen of the wealthiest men of ST.
Louis met at dinner a day or two igo
and found themselves unanimously favor
able to war. Among them was Adolphus
Busch, the wel-known beer brewer, who
was particularly outspoken in the mat
ter. He cannot. therefore, object to tax
alton TO meet the costs of war and one
frui@ul source of revenue would be beer,
which is now taxed by the Federal gov
eminent only 81 a barrel. when it would
easily yield So The proposition to increase
the beer tax to 81 has been before Con-
gress many times only to be shelved at
the dictation of the brewers who are pow
erful in politics. Now, then, with Adolf
plus Busch for war, is a good time to
put that extra dollar on to beer. Ii is IN
opportunity which, il now lost may never
return again.

How wars Begin.
From the Kansas CIty journal Dem

Usually they start with an overt act on
the part of one of the nations, such as
firing upon a ship, assaiIing a fort or
penetrating boundary lines with an arm
ed force. Every one of the wars in which
the United States has been engaged start
ed through one of these procedures, nd
none of them was preceded by formal
and official declaration of hostllities, ex-
cept, possibly, in the case of the war of
1872. which was declared by Congress,
though violent assault had been made by
the British before the passage of the act

teaching her second year. Mrs. B. C. Olney is the teacher of the primary department, and has successfully filled this position for five years.
 From the report of the county school superintendent We learn that the schools of the county for the year ls9, have shown an increase in attendance. and there seems to be more interest taken in them by the people in general. In a general way perfect harmony pre- vails between patrons and teachers, a feature necessary to the successful run ming of our schools.
 The board Of supervisors arrived at a wise conclusion when they raised the school rate from D U 4j cents on the hundred. for under the raise we will be able to have longer terms of school than formerly. and besides will have funds on hand for the beginning of the next school year. and it will enable the trustees to maae Improvements where necessary. The Financial condition of the different districts is very sltisfac. tory.
 The amounts expended by the differ. ent districts during the year and the amounts received. including the bal ances paid at the beginning of the year. are as follows:

 lapse. for the reason that there are not the required number of children in the district to commence school.
 As rule all the teachers in the county are giving satisfaction. or course there are some complaints from some quarters. but people must remem- Der that there are two sides to all ques- tions.
 There are three teachers holding '.life diplomas, two holding territO- rial certificates, three first grade coun- ty certificates, four second grade coun- ty certificates.
 There were seven applicants for county certificates during the year, of whom two obtained first grade certifi- cates. four second grade. and one failed to pass.
 Number of children of school age. census of 1897, 575. Average daily attendance. 322. Cost per child of school age. $l5.09. Cost based on aver age daily attendance. $26.96. Average salary paid teachers for 1897, $76.10.
 In submitting the above report of the condition of the schools of the county for the consideration of their patrons and others who feel an interest in edu- cational affairs. few suggestions on the subject will not be out of place, if considered in the spirit in which they are given.
 A great drawback to a teachers work is that so many scholars do not start to school at the beginning of the term, and when they do start expect to go into the same class which they would have been in had they commenced with the class at the beginning of the term. consequently are not up in the work of the class. Furthermore. if they are put in lower grade they are dissatisfied and find fault with their teacher that they are not learning anything and have been over the work before and do. not

SEA-WEED AND AMBER.

The main source of the amber supply
1t is fossil gum, originally the exuda-
ton OF a species of confer now eX-
tinct. This grew in luxuriant profu-
sion hundreds of thousands of years
ago on the marshy coasts of northern
Europe, when the climate was much
warmer than it is today. The natural
history of amber is thus explained.
The immense forests of amber pine
underwent their natural downfall and
decay. The resin of the wood accu-
mulated in large Quantities in boys and
ponds and in the soil of the forest.
" here the coast was slowly sinking,
the sea oy-and-by covered the land,
and the amber, which had been gradu
ally hardening, was at last deposited
at the ocean bottom. But in higher re-
glons the pine continued to flourish,
and so amber would continue to be
washed down to the shore, and de-
posted in the later formed green sand,
and the still later formed stratum of
ignite or brown coal. The gum be-
came fossilized by its long burial un-
foreground More than two hundred
specimens of extinct life and vege-
table, have been found embedded in
amber specimens, including insects,
reptiles, plants, leaves, shells, fruit, etc.
which had been caught in the liquid
gum and entombed there for all time.
Some of these specimens are so curl
ously beautiful as to be almost price
less, and one English collector has
cabinet of them which is valued at
100000. One piece embalms a lizard
about eight inches long, little jewell
ed monster perfect in its form and col
oring, which has no likeness in any
thing existing now. Indeed, in many
instances science is able solely through
this medium TO study details OF animal
life which pershed from the eartn

When man feels familiar enough
with a woman to swear in her pres

Did ever woman live, breathe and

all her hair pins?
1t is the easiest thing IN the world
for a woman to get herself talked
about, but it isn't half as easy to
prove there is no real reason for it.
The habit that women have of car
riying their handkerchiefs up their
sleeves is responsible for the thriving
business always done in these articles.

WALKING SKIRT.

To wear burden of long skirts be-
draggled with snow and mud is not
only to forego the pleasure of an out
Ing. but 1t is to invite sickness and
even death itself. Is there a man
who would suffer such an abomina-
ton to be fastened upon him simply
because preceding generations did not
possess the independnc to correct the
evil? The persons who to-
day think neat, clean skirts, coming
just to the shoe tops, are less lady
like than a trailing conglomeration Of
mud or dust or snow and a half-a
hundred weight of garments, are not
many. Short skirts are lady-like;
