THE WOMEN OF CHINA.

When visiting or being visited the
main topic of conversation is chow
MUCH" Money, which is the main god
of the Chinese, is invariably the prin-
cipal topic of conversation, How much
did that cost?' what is that worth?'
How much did she pay for that?" such
is the gist of a visit. The women have
no gtneral topics of conversation, for
they know nothing of the outside
world, cannot read books and are SO
thoroughly cowed and subjugated that
they have not the ambition to better
themselves.
So much for the women of the bet
ter class. Those of the lower class lead
an existence that literally battles de-
scrirtinn Their homes are novels on
land or the filthy households that in
fest every waterway in China. In eth
er case, they live in surroundings akin
to the pig sty of civilization, There is
not the slightest attempt at sanitation
or cleanliness or decency. Ten human
beings are crowded into the space need
ed for one. Underfed and overworked,
the women are slaves in every sense of
the Word The men work in the fields
or act as coolies, while the women toll

and blows are their reward and should

the company is to have a monopoly of

is prevented from becoming extortionata

will be regarded with much interest

NEW RAILROAD IN MEyYCO

An interesting railroad scheme is to
be carried out in Mexico, where a Lon
don company will reconstruct the old
Tehuantepec railroad, with terminals at
the ports of Santa Cruz and Coatzacoal-
COS. The capital of the company is to
be $1,000 900, and the Mexican govern
ment will contribute an equal sum, both
values being in silver money, so that the
gold value of either investment is about
$500 900. The company is to operate
the railroad for fifty years; but, if it's
losses reach the sum of $4,000, 900, 1t can,
upon giving six months notice, turn the
road over to the government, and be re-
lieved from further responsibility. IF
the contract is maintained to the end of
the term, the government will have an
option to purchase the road then.
In the specifications Of the contract
are several interesting provisions. The
are to be fixed by the government. The
mails ere to be carried free, and the
government will have rebate on the
of coal, troops and immi-
grants. The dues at the terminal ports
are fixed by the government, and are to
be only one-half of those at Vera Cruz
and Tamplco. This is done in order to
induce business to this route The con-
cessions to the company are these: A

NOT A BSOLUTEL Y PURE,

Adulteration s. artful aid seems to be
as much used in Europe as in this coun-
try. Consul Dubois, writing from st.
Gall, tells how some things are mixed.
Mutton tallow, low-grade sugar (the
loWest), cacao bean shells, potato meal,
ochres and sawdust are passed off as
caeao and chocolate; sirups, malt ex-
tracts, cornstarch and meal, as honey;
potato meal, alum and blue vitriol, as
honest bread; water and certain kinds
of soap, as milk; all kinds of cheap fats
and carrot juice, as butter; natural
toes, as cheese; sage, linden and straw
berry leaves, as tea; oat and rye flour,
chickory, coffee sediment and coffee
meal, as coffee. Analyses of beers have
disclosed (beside the expected hops,
malt and water) chiekory, pine sprouts,
camomile, henbane, wild cherries, poppy
heads, guinea grains, lockwood, potash,
vitriol of iron, alum, lieorice, solution
of tartar, linseed, etc. Some of the
wines haven't the first drop of grape
juice in them; some of the liquors are
hardly less fraudulent. 1T is not an
inopportune time" suggests the consul
general, ito call attention to the we'll
founded belief among the breadwinners
of Europe that our meats and fruits
are far cheaper and more wholesome
and nourishing than tons of other food
supplies which they are purchasing
every day without thought of protest,
and at prices high enough to satisfy the
most eager profit-taker in the land
There is no doubt that we can sell
the Europeans much that will do them
good, and while all of it may not be al
ways absolutely pure it will be quite as
good as what they are eating.

The Chinese have appealed to the
japanese for help and the japanese are
willing to help them when the situation
is such that they can. If it turns
out that the Japanese are not able to
do the Chinese much good in the set
Element with the foreigners that must
be made they can perhaps help them by
teaching them how to treat foreigners.
In the Japanese schools special instruc-
tons have been given the pupils as to
their behavior toward foreigners. The
little Japanese are taught as follows:
Never call after foreigners passing
along the streets or roads. When
foreigners make inquiries answer them
politely. If unable to make them UNI
derstand inform the police of the fact.
Never accept a present from a foreign
err when there is no reason for his
giving it, and never charge him any
thing above what is proper. Do not
crowd about shop when a foreigner
is making purchase, thereby causing
him much annoyance. The continu-
ance of this practice disgraces us as a
nation. Since all human beings are
brothers and sisters, there is no reason
for fearing foreigners. Treat them as
equals and act uprightly in all your
dealings with them; be neither servile
nor arrogant. Beware against combin-
ing against the foreigner and disliking
him because he is a foreigner; men are
to be judged by their conduct and not
by their nationality.
If the Chinese can take such advice
as this from the Japanese and act on
It they will have less trouble than they
have had

One of the canons of Chinese official
dom, says Archibald r. Colquhoun, lis
that every Minister is personally re-
sponsible for the advice he gives, and
this has eugendered a not unnatural
desire to avoid the expression of any
decided opinion. An interview with the
Tsung- -Yamen is therefore a very
considerable exercise in patience for the
foreign Minister who desires an answer
to some question. Refreshments of a
nature not very grateful TO western
palates-melon seeds and sugar plums
probably-are brought in with much
with ceremony. Even when this is over,
and the question is asked, there is no
attempt to answer, one of the most
rigid points of etiquette being that no
one shall speak first. When they do
speak all speak al once, and their dex-
terity in passing the question from one
to another has been compared to that
of Rugby forwards with the football.
Very little satisfaction has ever been
had from these conferences"
