HANDS-OFF IN CHINA.
Such Is the Declared Policy of
the Mckinley Administration.

Wv
Washington, March 6.-The
United States government has
remained absolutely passive
throughout the execution of the
Italian project to secure an "open
door" on the Chinese coast
through the acquisition of San
Nun bay and outlying islands.
Some days ago United States
Minister Conger, at Pevin, ac-
quainted the state department
with the fact that Italy had pre-
ferred a request npon China for
a lease of the spot selected, but
has made no report since. and it
Is not known officially whether
or not the Italian forces have
been landed at San Nun.
One of the highest authorizes
today said: The government Of
tie United States will not take
any steps in regard to the 1t" Ian
demand for the cession Of Chinese
territory"
In other words, our government,
resisting from motives of broad
policy allnring limitations from
other Powers TO the effect that
the time is ripe for raid by the
United States on some part of the
Chinese coast line, has determined
definitely to keep hands off. Bot
one motive could induce the gov
srnment to change this policy,
and thatwould be desire to pro-
tect our enormously valuable
commerce with China from the
danger Of being com pletely cut
off through the grad AL extension
of the lease, holds ~ European
nations over the W. le Chinese
seacoast. So long ur, trade is

OLD AND NEW BUILDINGS

The great glory of Chesterfield house, London, is marble staircase, each step of which is formed of single block more than 20 feet long.
 An important work is soon to be be- gun at Spalato, in Dalmatia. This will be the building of central museum in which the collection at present scat tered among four buildings will be brought together, including the objects found in Salona and in the palace of Diocletian.
 The architect, NJ. Redon, who has charge of the Louvre, has resolved to re- store the Tuileries garden to the condi- ton in which it was in the days of La Notre. As the palace does not exist to- day, it is impossible to say whether the old artificial style will be more pleasing or not
 Students of architecture may have often wondered why the two towers of Notre Dame, at Paris, were not of the same size. A writer in one of the Eng fish magazines has found a rather curi- ous explanation. It appears that when the cathedral was built it was the cathe- dral of suffragan bishop, who was not entitled to two towers of eoual heiobt and for centuries the bishop of Paris was suffragan 10 the bishop of Sens.

JokIng win .p omc,,,

They tell good story about an attache of the courthouse on Leavenworth street. Two Jokers began 'monkeying' with his telephone the other day, disconnectine it and otherwise bothering the official. Shortly afterward one of the jokers called up the officials from another office and in. troduced himself as being the chief oper- ator at the central office. For heavens sake see what's the matter with your tele- phone up there," he gruffiy spoke to the of. hcial. "Whatever's the matter I don't know, but your electric current is flowing like mad into the central office here and there's. about an inch of it on the floor al. ready" The official grew pale with fright. and he rushed into the office of the two lokers. Now you've done it." he began to tune with sincerity. "The main office has just called me, up and says that on account of your blamed fooling the electric current is submerging the central office. and the girls are quitting work. Come in here now and fix that up." The two jokers expressed sor- row to the official, went in and pretended to tighten screw and then went down eel lar and took turns in having spinal menin. sitis.-Waterbury Democrat.

BIG AND LITTLE CHECKS.

One of the smallest checks ever is. sued was for one cent. Uncle Sam gave this to Grover Cleveland in payment of salary, there being discrepancy in the accounts to that amount. Mr. Cleve- land did not need the money, so he framed the check as curiosity.
 The big insurance companies get . good many large checks, some of them running from hundred thousand to half million dollars. Big checks float around in greater number among the members of the stock exchange than in almost any other place. A big block of railroad stock was sold just few days ago, and check for $3,500,0O0 given in payment.
 When Uncle Sam handed over to Spain four orders, or checks, on New Iork's subtreasury for $2o, ,O00, ,OOo, most peoples eyes bulged out at so much cash being represented by such small bits of paper. The man who cashed them, however. never so much as winked his eye as he beheld them. He is used to such transactions, as ii is a conn mon thing for Uncle Sam to make drafts away up in the millions.

GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
vAiae of an Honored Trade Name Up- held by the United States
 Circuit Court.

The California Fig Syrup Co.,, of San Francisco, has just won legal victory which is of utmost public interest, as it establishes judicially fact long recog- nized ethically that the name or the title of an article is valuable property, entitled to the same protection as chat tels or commercial paper. The com pany mentioned manufactures an ex- cellent laxative which has been exten- sively advertised and acquired a valu- able reputation under the name Syrup of Figs or Fig Syrup" Trading on the reputation of this remedy other manufacturing concerns applied the same name to laxative medicines made by them. The California Fig Syrup Go. took the matter in the United States courts and obtained a permanent in- Junction, of which the following is the text:
 Tt is thereupon ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the injunction and restrain ing order heretofore made herein be con- tinued until final decree herein, and to that end that an injunction be issued as prayed for in the bill of complaint herein, strictly commanding and enjoining the defendants, Clinton F.. Worden X Company, a corpora ton. J. A. Bright. T. F. Bacon. F. Little. c. J. Schmelz and Lucius Little, and each and all of them. their and each and all of their agents. employees. workmen. serv- ants. attorneys and counselors, from mak- ing, using or selling any liquid laxative medicine, marked with the name Syrup of Figs or Fig Syrup or any colorable imitation of the same: from making, using or selling any laxative medicine put up In hOYeq n rnrf0pQ ha Nh hA same the name Syrup of Figs, or Fig Syrup or any colorable imitation of tho same: from making, using or selling any liquid laxative medicine ppt up in boxes, wrappers or cartons. so to be like the cartons, wrappers or boxes used by com- plainant in connection with the liquid lax ative medicine made by 1t, or so as to be a colorable imitation of the cartons marked Exhibit A. and filed in this case, being . carton. box or wrapper used by complain ant for it's liquid laxative medicine, marked and named Syrup of Figs or Fig Syrup from making. using or selling any box. wrapper or carton as a wrapper or case for . liquid laxative medicine, bearing upon it the figure of branch of a fig tree with leaves and fruit. and surrounded by the words in circle San Francisco Syrup of Figs Company, San Francisco, Cal., or any similar words or figures, or any colorable imitation of such symbol or mark. or from making use of. in any way. in connec- tion with a liquid laxative medicine the name Syrup of Figs Co., or from using any name whereof the words Fig Syrup Co., or Syrup of Figs Co., form part as a business name of company, or con. cern or corporation engaged in the busi- ness of making and selling a laxative med icine."
 This decision is of far-reaching inn portance to all manufacturers whose products bear recognized title, as we'll as protection to the public whose con fdence naturally rests in large meas ure upon the name of the goods it buys.

REGARDING FOOD.

Salted fish and meats are hard on the stomach.
 Apples not only arc good, but contain medicinal juices.
 Rice forms the food of one-third of the human race.
 Oatmeal is strong food and builds up the muscle. It should be eaten to- gether with bread.
 Plums should not be touched unless wholly ripe, and apricots are richer than peaches.
 Cheese, if partaken of sparingly. will not hurt one. If toasted it is rendered rather indigestible.
 Butter, if eaten moderately, will not prove hurtful. The system needs oils and pure butter furnishes these.
 Potatoes as food vary in value, &C., ,ording to the way they are cooked. Roasted they are in the best form for eating. Peasants eat potatoes to- yether with milk, and are correct in principle, as the milk furnishes the ele. ments lacking in the tubers.

In the early days OF Christianity
there were all sorts Of absurd umors
In circulation about the practices and
teachings Of the "Nazarenes,' as the
Saints were then called. Because the
doctrine Of brotherly love was preached,
they were accused Of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
because OF their expectation Of the
