CHINESE SIMPLICITY.
Even the Great Ii Hung Chang Dis
plays Lack OF Proper
Understanding.

Tho Chinese are said to be very much
Hike children in their thought and ac-
ton. The commerce Of one Of their
principal rivers is greatly impeded by
ledge Of rocks, on which myriads Of
junks and other kinds Of vessels have
been wrecked or badly damaged during
the years Of many centuries. In fact
It is almost impossible for any sort Of
vessel 10 pass this obstruction without
being hurt in some way. Recently sew.
eral British men-of-war lay at anchor
for some weeks in the river and the
commanders offered to blow up the
rocks and create safe channel without
cost to the government II permission
were given. The matter was referred
to Ii Hung Chang, China's greatest
statesmen, who. after mature delibera-
ton, declined the offer, on the ground
that II they took the rocks out Of the
river 1t would deprive western China Of
water and flood the eastern part of the
country! This reminds us Of the phi:
losopher who opposed the building Of
the Nicaragua canal because he
claimed that the Pacific ocean was sew
cal feet higher than the Atlantic, and
that II the canal should be opened the
western ocean would flow into the
eastern and produce another Noah's
food!

FIGURES WITH FINGERS
In Them was the Origin Of tho Ro-

Fold your hands up before you, palms

Begin on the left, little finger I, little
finger and ring finger, II; little finger,

the fourth finger from the left, still
holding the thumb at an acute angie,
and you hare ~, says the Philadelphia
Times.
Now pass TO the right hand, Hold
Ing the thumb and the hand Of the
same angle - before we have VI; by
using the index and the middle finger
we get VII, while the thumb and tho
three large fingers make VIII.
Now tom inn .s- two w. made BY the
thumbs, inverting one, anu ~ - -
or ten. Then use the x with the last
little finger before It and II viii give
TX. The combinations following Xare
obvious. The foreAnger Of the left hand,
with the thumb at right angles, make
perfect Z, the little finger Of the
left hand curved toward the thumb
makes c, the initial Of centufn (100),
and 80 on with the hundreds. Now
Join the two thumbs with the fore
fingers, or two W. inverted, and you
have the hieroglyphics complete.

Champ Clarke in his speech in
Topeka the other night showed
the difference between Jefferson
ian democracy and Mckinley re-
publicanism by calling attention
to the fact that the second year of
Thomas Jefferson's administration,
the appropriations of congress
amounted to only fifty cents per
capita for the American people;
while in the second year of Will
am McKinley's administration,
counting our population at 10000
600, the appropriations of con-
gress amounted to $12.97 per
capita, or nearly twenty-six times
as much for every man, woman
and child within the broad confines
of the republic as when Jefferson
was at the helm.

that 1t WA On insult to be followed by

Of both those who know and those who
do not know how to spend their money,
was at q loss to know how to dispose OF
this then fabulous amount upon q
single meal. There were 7e guests, and
they were entertained In the large ball
room which in Delmonico's Fourteenth
street establishment saw so many So
cial t.iumphs. The house had been Mr..
Moses Grinnell's, and ever bore the Inn
print of gentleman K sideace even
when transformed into public place Of
entertainment. The table occupied the
whole length and breadth Of the room;
the walters had barely space to move
about 1t. It was long, oval table,
round which massive wreath Of exc

able man, a good soldier, a man Of
