THE United States will not go to
war to prevent Russia or Germany
from acquiring more territory in
China, but will and should be diplo-
matically, strenuously and persistent
" opposed to such acquisition. If
backed by Great Britain and Japan
our protests will avail, and the pow
ers will content themselves with a
money indemnity, semi-protector-
ate until the indemnity is paid, a
measure of dictaton as to the per-
sonnel of the government and, proba-
bly,, removal of the capital to Nankin
or some city nearer the coast than
Pekin. Thus far our state depart
ment has won merited confidence at
home and tardy plaudits abroad.
We indulge the hope than in the
present crucial conditions it will not
be found lacking in the wisdom that
shall bring peace with honor and a
due share Of retributive Justice. -

HAM SMELLING A BUSINESS.
Peculiar Occupation For which Only
Few Are Qualified.


The ham smcller's only tools are n
long steel trlcr and his nose. He stands
I'm n barrel 10 keep his clothes from be-
ing soilcd by the dripping brine, and
the hams are brought 10 him, and he
plunges his sharp pointed trlcr into
them, withdraws II and passes II swift
ly beneath his nose. The tricr always
goes dGwn to the knuckle joint.
In testing meat I'm that manner the
man with the tricr Judges by the slight
est shade of difference between the
smell of one piece of meat and anOth-
or. The smell of the meat is almost
universally sweet. and that is, what he
smells. The slightest taint or deyia-
tlon from the sweet smell Is therefore
apprccablc. 1t is not the degree OF
taint that he expects 20 find. but the
slightest odor that is not sweet
when he detects an odor. he throws
the meat aside, and If II is not un-
wholesome II is sold rs rejected"
meat, but if Il Is tainted IL goes to the
rendering tank. The ham tester smells
meat from o'clock In the morning un-
I'll . o'clock ut night. and his sense
must never become jaded or incxact or
his usefulness would be at an end
Ham testing Is not a pursuit danger

A Test Of Accuracy.

Drawing from memory Is one OF the
most difficult things In the world to do.
Even professional artists find that they
must rely largely upon hasty Jottings
made upon the spot as suggestions Tor
their pictures. Those who are not art

what they wish to recollect. for they
must depend upon their memory 10
bring details back to them. II Is an ex-
cellent corrective OF superficial obscrva.
