coming elections may decide whether
anything will be done.

A German professor thinks the Chl-
nese will be able to beat Europeans In
the struggle for existence, because the
Chinese are not nervous" The CHINA
man, he says, can write all day, stand
in one position, weave beat gold, carve
ivory, do infinitely tedious jobs for ever
and ever, and discover no more wearl-
ness or irritation than if he We're a
machine. There are no RESTLESS
naughty boys in China. They are all
appallingly good, and will plod at
school without holidays or recreation OF
any kind. Sport or play--eXcept carus
and kite fying-seems to John China
man waste labor He can sleep any
where, amid rafting machinery, deaf
ening uproar, squalling children or
ouarrelling adults, on the floor on q
chair, on a bed, and in any position.
This "nervelessness, the professor
thinks, in the increasing complexlty OF
life, will be of incalculable value.

NOT VERY ENORMO US.

The current Democratic talk about
the enormous corruption fund OF the
Republican party has familiar SOUND.
According to the Democrats, the Re-
publicans always have an enormous
corruption fund which they are always
using to buy Democrats with. The Re-
publicans who are managing the cam
paign wish they had as much money
to work with as the Democrats say
they have. The reports from Republi-
can headquarters are that money isn't
coming in freely. Senator Scott says
of the situation: 80 far as this COM
mittee is concerned, we feel something
like the Methodist minister who shout
ed downstairs to the burglar to go
ahead and see If he could find any
thing, and if so he would be glad to
'divvy' with him. In point of fact the
campaign funds of the Republican
party have never been of such small
proportions as this year"
1t costs great deal of money to run
presidential campaign, and some of
the money used isn't economically
spent. There are not many years when
there is money enough in a campaign
treasury to use fora corruption fund"
even If 1t were desired to so use it, and
this year Is a lean year.

WH4T GIN BE DONE.

Awhile ago there was lively discus
sion as to whether man could live on
fifteen cents a day in Chicago, and the
story went around that President Har-
per of the Chicago University was to
try the experiment on himself. This
was soon denied, and though it is still
believed by some that it is possible TO
live on fifteen cents a day in Chicago
none but those who have to do 1t are
trying it. and those who have to do 1t
are too busy to talk about it. SO per-
haps we shall not soon know what can
be done in this line in Chicago. But
we can know what can be done and ls
done in the Ruskin colony of Social
lists in Duke county Georgia. The
members of this colony have studied
the food question and have got 1t down
to such a fine point that they actually
live at a cost of to cents day per
capita. This seeming miracle is ac-
companied by purchasing everything in
large quantities and by eating together
in a public mess after the Spartan
fashion. The breakfast consists or
light bread, furnished by the colony
baker; butter, Georgia syrup, oatmeal,
Irish potatoes, milk, cereal coffee and
sugar, with the occasional addition of
fried mush fruit and 5ellles. The mid
day meal includes rice, peas or beans
or macaroni (some two or more OF
these), Georgia syrup. beets, tomatoes,
egg plants potatoes, soup, bread and
cereal coffee; but meat comes on the
table only twice week, The supper
bill of fare is given as follows: Cheese
in some form, lemonade, cake, rice or
beans, sugar, grits, mush, fried pota-
toes, cold tea, bread.
This Is good enough living for the
price and many who eat meat at every
meal would find improved health in the
Ruskin colony diet.

COfI IN CHINA.

Perhaps the pessimistic predictions
that have been made concerning the ex-
haustion of the coal supply will not be
realized There is some coal in China.
Most of the Shan-Si province is under
laid with large coal beds, and the coal
area is said to be greater than that of
Pennsylvania. In the district about
Tee-Chau, which comprises about $50
square miles, it is estimated that there
are about three thousand million metric
tons of coal This locality is reached
from the coast by journey across low
living plains and then ascending a pla-
teau, where the coal beds are to be
found. The workable coal lies in one
bed about $50 feet above bearing
limestone stratum, below which it is
possible that coal may also be found.
The average thickness of seam is not
less than twenty-five feet, and at one
place it is worked from a shaft 1923 feet
deep. The Tse-Chau coal is anthracite
having a specific gravity of one and
five-tenths and is hard enough to sup
port any weight that may be put upo1
It in the blast furnace. The proper
lions of both sulphur and ash are ex-
tremely low. A cursory examination
made of the outcrops showed an iron
ore stratum two to three feet in thick
ness, which is worked by open pits at
the surface, making unnecessary shafts
and long tunnels. The amount of IRON
however, is relatively small, and it Is
thought would not justify more than
surface mining In addition to iron and
coal this district yields fire clays of
good quality for bricks and cheap pot
| terry, and also sandstone and limestone

TIE FEEER IN HiTANA.

Only few days ago there was re-
joicing over the report of Major w. c.
Gorgas, United States Army, chief SAN
itary officer of Havana, for the month
mortality from yellow fever was lower
during this last August than during any
1899, which had lower rate, due, 1t Is
presumed, to the cessation of immigra-
ton. Now, right on the heels of that
encouraging report, comes the disturb
ing story of a serious outbreak of yell
low fever in Havana. OF course the
disease will be fought with all the en-
ergy and science at the command of
the United States health authorities,
and 1t may be checked, though 1t need
not be surprising If 1t should not be.
The city has been we'll cleaned, but
what 1t needs Is a flrst-class system of
sewers The streets in Havana are not
properly graded or paved, and many of
the sewers, where there are any sewers,
cannot carry off the waste that Is pour
ed into them. A house built on the best
sanitary principles may be set over a
choked sewer or sewage-soaked ground,
and then all it's fine plumbing is worth
less.
1t is estimated that proper sewers for
Havana would cost $10,000,000 or s15-
| 100000. If the yellow fever is to con-
more than the sewers would.

The anti-ritualst cry in England has
a good deal of support in the Estab-
lished Church, but most of the voters
are apathetic in regard to it. There is
an organized movement for pledging
candidates for Parliament to vote for
an increase of the power of the laity in
the management of churches and ser
vices on the ground that the bishops do
not willingly use their authority for
the suppression OF unlawful practices.
A great deal has, in fact, been accom-
plished by the bishops toward restor-
ing uniformity of service in what is
called the protestant sense, but
number of clergymen still hold to the
.high" services and defy John Kenslt
and the bishops. Parliament has sew
eral times expressed its hostility,
threatening to legislate for uniformity
if 1t is not voluntarily practiced. The

ROAD HORSE INJURED.

A sleigh owned by Arthur K. Hunt.
was upset yesterday forenoon at about
eleven O'Clock At the. entrance 10 the
Whitman and Sawyer livery stable COM
pany on Congress street..
The horse was being driven by Mr..
Hunt s.cosohman, who was returning to
the stable ann a. he turned into the
driveway another team was coming out.
so he was obliged TO 60 close to the side Of
the road. In consequence the sleigh
struck post, tipping 1t over and throw
ing the driver out. a young man passing
by grasped the horse by the head before
he could get away and In doing this very
likely saved the driver from injury. as he
was tangled up In the robes and sleigh.
When the sleigh tipped the large bells on
the shaft struck the horse on the right
thigh and made deep cash which will
undoubtedly ruin him for road work. DR..
Gage wac called 30 care for the horse.
The injured horse was one Of the valu-
able pair Of Frenoh ooaoh horses Pur-
chased by Mr.. Hunt from the Sanborn
stock farm at Poland Springs last sum-
mer and yesterday Was the frat time he
had been hitched to n sleigh, since the
purchase. Tho sleigh and harness were
zot damaged to any extent.
