ASIA IS OUR ELDORAD0
THAT IS WHAT MIR. DENNY, TWELVE
YEARS MINISTER TO CHINA, SAYS.
The Tremendous Commercial and Po-
hucaI importance OF American Re-
IatiOns with the Far East.

Hon. Charles DENLY, in January Munsey.
AT the outset of any discussion touching
our relations with the far East it is well to
comprehend the exact conditions under which
Americans and other foreigners are residing
in China. Japan, Korea and SIAM
Under the various treaties made with these
powers by the Christian nations of the world
what is called extraterritoriaIity prevails.
This word does not express accurately the
condition to which it applies, but it has
been universally adopted. 1t means that the
foreigner in those eastern countries is gov
erned by his own laws. If he commits a
crime he must be tried before his own con-
SUI, and If he is sued for a debt the action
must be brought before his own consul. The
Chlhese courts have no jurisdiction to hear
any action or proceeding against a subject
or citizen Of the treaty powers. It is readily
to be seen that such a condition results in
building up an imperium in imperio in every
locality where foreigners have collected to-
gether.
Take the British concession at Shanghai
Tor example. 1t is a magnificent city of
1900 foreigners and 100000 natives. It lies
at the mouth Of the Yang-Tse, and it will

erhments control them individually. munich

Ieglance to any country. All that was neces-
sary was that the government of China and

QUARTERS FOR PIGS.

Whenever a barn has a barn base
ment. as all should have. in tina, should
be fixed the winter quarters for the
hogs. As there is a strong. aisagrce-
able smell from the plgpen. the base
ment should not be where other stock
Is kept, md Of course not near tho
house. Not only horses and sheep,
which are dainty in their feeding. but
even the COW which is less affected by
foul doors, will refuse to eat food that
has been where the stencil from tbs
hogpen could get at IL. Yet we have
known farmers to allow hogs TO ru IA
the same stable with cattle and horses,
and then wonder why the latter so
often get"oif their feed" and lose flesh.
The hog alone viii thrive under such
circumstances. though even the hog in
Its effort to keep warm Will crowd close
around the larger animals to gather
heat from their bodies. In this way the
hog is apt TO be stepped upon or kicked.
SO that he practice is not best even for
him. The pigs winter quarters should
be made warm. and 9 90 light. havingl

days they will huddle together where

matter of sunlight has much to do with
