Taxation In China.

The Chinese are perhaps the most
lightly taxed people in the world. In
China all the land belongs to the
state, and a trifiing sum per acre
never altered through long Centuries
is paid as rent. This is the only tax
in the country. and 1t amounts to about
2 ahillings 6 pence per head yearly.

DiscOncerting,
(From the Calena Republicaul !

from the Galena Republican.)
Many years ago a number of Peoria In
dians organized a show company and made
a tour of the East. They were mostly half
breeds. and all were thoroughly educated
in English, but it was stipulated by the
management that they must talk only in
their native tongue, and when they got on
their war togs they looked savage enough
indeed. Among the company was Will
Labadie, well known in Galena. and one
evening he was standing in the corridor of
an Eastern hotel, dressed in his chiefs
robes and looking every inch the savage
man of fiction. when he was approached
by an elegantly gowned lady, and the fol-
lowing conversation ensued:
How"
Ugh"
You big chief in your own country"
Ugh
You go to Washington to see great
White Father?'
Ugh
you cannot speak white mans tongue;
you no speak English?'
mo, madam. 1 regret to say that do not
understand the language"
The poor woman was greatly surprised
and embarrassed, but perhaps not SO much
as beyy of girls on a later occasion. In
almost every town some of the audience
would remain behind to get a better view
of the awful savages. One night Labadie
had taken his seat in the orchestra box
after the show, and four or five young la
dies who were standing near commenced
to comment on his personal appearance.
How would you like to kiss him?' said
one of the maidens, with litter. "Oh.
girls! let's all do it just to see how it
would feel to kiss real Indian," ex-
claimed one more daring than the rest,
whereupon Labadie turned calmly to them
and said:
Ladies nothing would afford me more
pleasure thanct to give you practical IL
lustration of the Eoscuiatory accomplish
ments of the Red Man.
There was chorus Of little screams a
swish of skirts and the theatre was
empty. >

BoER WOMEN AND THE WAR.
Said to BE Jealous of the English
as Eligible SuitOrs.

Fr0m the Pail Mall Gazettc.b
John Redmond is of opinion that the
present Beer war is due to the machina-
tions of Mr.. Chamberlain-and others; but.
according to the Natal press. Mrs. Boer is
tude of her husband. She is nothing more
or less than a bucolic counterpart of Dido,
jealous of the Englishman. whom she
wishes as husband for her daughter. That
is the ideal OF her life, so seldom realized
for her daughters are many, and eligible
Englishmen are few and far between. Many
Boer girls are educated in the English COL
onies. and return with a refinement quite
out of harmony with their rustic surround
ings. They won't marry their unkempt
kinsmen, and the young Englishman is a
rara avis; so this in time generates bitter
hatred Of their more favored sisters and Of
the English race in general.
Apart from the light side of this theory
anyone who knows the domestic life of
the Boer can vouch for its accuracy. When
the passions Of the coarsest and most ig
norant of their number are aroused it is
truly a case of .'furens quid foemina pos
sit''-theIr husbands are harmless and mild
in cornparisop.- Mrs. Boer is even more
isolated from modern civilization than her
husband, and rarely rubs shoulders with
the "verdomde" Englishman. In most cas-
es the paterfamilias and the family are
completely under her thumb. and it is not
too much to say that the energy now dis
played by the Boer forces is in great
measure due to feminine promptings.

Congress and Crowninshieid.

It is evident that the Sampson ring is
deliberately attempting TO tear down the
reputation of Rear Admiral Schley before
the meeting OF Congress, in order 10 clear
the way for whatever plan is in contenpis-
tion to secure the grade OF vice admiral
and the lions share of the Santiago prize
money for its favorte. The current ISSUE
of the Army and Navy Journal" pub
lished in New York, makes this entirely
plain.
The technical journal in question con-
tains statement to the effect thar Rear
Admiral Schley's sailing orders were held
up until the return of Secretary Long from
Colorado because Crowninshield expected
TO induce the Administration to order the
victor of Santiago before court. Long. il
as alleged. at first favored this scheme. but
was dissuaded from carrying it into effect.
his advisers warning him that Schley's
strength With the American people would
make it dangerous to persecute him further
at this time, and that any attempt To
do so would be followed by Congressional
action which might extend to something
unpleasant for the present regime in the
Navy Department. So Rear Admiral Schley
was allowed TO sail. being first subjected
TO the insult of an order prohibiting him
from visiting South Africa, a region within
the limits of his station, but where rrepa-
rations were being made to do him honor
that the Navy Department could not rol-
crate.
II was perhaps well for Long and Crown
inshield that the original design was not
carried out, although the fact that il was
not will hardly serve to prevent the illumi-
nation in store for them. The latter appears
regardless of consequences in the prosecu-
tion OF his crusade but the former is psr
hars trifie more amenable to considera-
tions closely connected with the precari-
BUSINESS of his position. as the same NAV

The immediate interest which the public
will take in the disclosure of the ARMY
and Navy Journal will be confined 10 Gu
riosity as to what particular developments
the Secretary of the Navy has to appre-
hend, in case his administration of the
Navy Department should be investigated
by Congressional committee. Something
in addition to the bad politics of his and
Crowninshield's course must have influ-
enced his recent conduct; because both of
the Sampsonian functionaries referred TO
have thrown all such limitations to the
winds long ago in their efforts 10 accom-
plish their objects OF what. then, does

VIEWS ON FILTRATION.
Methods of Purifying the Water Sap
My of Large Cities.


BALTIMORE. Nov. 25.-Dr. A. C. Alb
bot. professor of hygeine in the University
/ of Pennsylvania. delivered a lecture to the
students and physicians Of Johns Hopx ms
Hospital yesterday.
Among other things. he said that surface
waters in streams which supply the drink
ing water Of large cities are purified natu-
rally in various ways, especially by oxi-
dation and the deposition Of sediment. All
streams are more or less contaminated by
sewage and polluttons.
Filtration Is now attracting attention in
all the large cities OF the United States
The geological characteristics OF eaen
place require careful consideration. Wna'
would cause publication of the water sup
ply of one place would not hold for an
other. For example. the system OF hitra-
ton in use in New England would pos y
have little avail here. In fact, every sys-
TEN has its limitations.
The so-callea. natural method. or SOW
sand method of filtration, is founded upon
the principle of successive layers OF sand
as filter. Water flows over the top and
trickles slowly through successive layers
of sand, gravel stone. brick and clay to
drains beneath.
The mechanical or rapid method of filtra-
tion is distinguished by the enormous sup
ply possible in given time. Ten or t"en-
ty million gallons OF water can be puriheu
over less area in the same time, where only
two or three million gallons are purined
by the natural method.
The mechanical filters take advantage OF
the chemical coagulation of carbonate. or
soft. waters by the addition of alum. Just
as the housewife on the addition OF the
white OF an egg into boiling water sees
gelatinous- Like body formed. SO alum. when
added TO water which contain carbon
ates, forms scummy, hoccuient pfeclpl-
tate which carries down as it settles all
the particles of dirt and refuse matter IN
the water Therefore. in these mechanical
filters. shortly before the water passes
over the sand filters. alum Is adGei
The focculent precipitate which forms
carries the dirt down with it upon the
sand filters. 1t is SO agslutinatiVe that
water may be forced through under high
pressure without disrupting the coasulum
Public prejudice against these filters IS
founded principally upon the idea tnat
some of the alum passes through into the
water, but DR.. Abbot said that from the
tests which he had made not trace OF
alum could be found in the filtered water
a recent Improvement has been tested.
expcrimentally which depends upon the
fact that finely divided asbestos pulp COL
lects the dirt and other particles Sver the
surface and sand filters. Another process
in use iu Germany is publication oil water
by passing the stream over immense por-
Gus plates of brick or clay.
The real requisites Of a good municipal
filter is that it should remove 9S per cent
of all bacteria, large per cent of al the
ammonia compounds and all organic mat
