THE CHINESE POLICY.
There Has Been No Abandonment of
American Rights and
Interests.

The greatness Of the presidents pol
icy in dealing with the Chinese prob
lem stands ont clear and luminous
when we contemplate any alternative
course which has been proposed or can
be suggested. The legation of the
United States still remains at Picking,
its rights guarded. its Office open for
the transaction of international BUSH
ness. There has been no retreat,
there has been no abandonment of
American rights and interests. On
the other hand, by the timely with
drawal of the troops and the disayowal
of aggressive purposes by the United
States. China is recalled 10 a sense
of her responsibility and an unfortu-
nate emperor, who has, indeed, failed
10 exhibit that vigor and authority
which would have saved his empire
from invasion and humiliation, is en-
couraSed 10 resume his authority and
meet his obligations. So far as the
United States is concerned. he is in
vited, having learned a bitter lesson
of experience, to reassert the dig
nifty of his imperial office. to eXer-
else his duties as the highest magis-
trate of his empire, and as far as pos
sible to wipe out the traces of the
wrong that has been committed.
Should he rise TO the opportunity.
the reorganization of the Chinese en-
pire would be largely the work Of
American diplomacy.
Should he fail to do so. a great ma
tional duty would at least have been
well performed and the United States
would have no responsibility for the
decay of his authority and the rending
and distribution of his dominions.

He has addressed to Senator Hanna
the following letter:
New orleans. La. Oct. s, 1900
Hon Mark A Hanna,

mittee.
MY Dear Sir: was born and bred
democrat of the strictest Jefferson-C Calhoun
sect. and was educated at the University
of Virginia. If the influence Of prejudice,
wrought by all the associations of my
youth and family ties, could influence my
political creed, / should be lusty shouter
for Bryan democracy to-day. But when
] saw the latter-day democrats advocating
the debasement of our currency. the stuff
fing at the supreme court. the evisceration
OF the constitution by the unconstitutional
method of election of senators of sns
United States, the income tax and all OF
the fads and wild-eyed experiments that
oisingenuouS soreheads could devise TO
catch the votes Of the unwary, and above
all, when saw the deliberate attempt OF
great party to break up patriotic and
fair treaty, which they had taken part IN
making and ratifying. and an ill-disgused
attempt to dishonor the American flag in
face of all peoples, / concluded that could
have no part or place among my former
political associates, but compelled by sense
of duty TO my country TO do what could
to overthrow such party-by allying my
self in the most open and public manner
with that party which came nearest to the
principles of sound government, political
honesty and common sense. AS a measure
of policy, the doctrine of protection at this
time commends itself to my judgment
rather than free trade. as the best system
for the American people at large, and the
people of my native state Louisiana) in
particular, but l consider that the grounds
stated above are the proximate cause of
my forsaking the party of my fathers,
which no longer in my eyes represents even
the political views of Jefferson the doc
trinaire, not TO speak of Jefferson, the
president who made the first great step
in the march of expansion by the purchase
of the territory of Louisiana. If it be i'm

NATuREs ALCHEMY.


When life has grown threadbare and
seamy,
And the soul is at war with itself.
When the nerves are unstrung and dis
cordant
And courage is laid on the shelf,
Then wise Mother Nature alluros us
Away To her fastness to rest.
And we lay with sigh of contentment
Our head on her kindly brown breast.
Her breath fans our brow. and its odor
With balsam Is pungent and sweet,
And down through the cool. scented silence
The pine needles drift DER our feet
And far in the dim distant spaces.
In the soft tender blue Of the skies,
We catch through the low-hanging
branches
The calm, brooding light Of her eyes.
And our world weary spirit grows tranquil,
And the cares that perplex US depart,
As we rest in the bosom Of Nature.
And feel the strong beat of her heart.
And her alchemic force permeates us
And thrills through our being and brain
Till life glows with color and beauty
And courage grows buoyant again.
on, the dim dusky aisles of the forest
Its deniZens wary and fleet,
The music of soft tapping waters,
The solitude tranquil and sweet
The soul-searching sacred communion
And the tryst with invisible things,
The calm bene6iction of Nature,
And the infinite healing 1t brings.

A HEALTHFUL FRUIT.
Opinion of the Grape as IA Regular
Part of the Diet.

We have so many warnings against
eating uncooked fruit that it is a re-
lief to know that so palatable a fruit
as the grape is prescribed as especial
~ healthful and strengthening, says
the National Stockman. Eaten with
other suitable food in quantities from
one to two pounds daily, they increase
nutrition. promote secretion, improve
the action of the liver, kidneys and
bowels, and add to the health. The
sugar of the grape requires no diges-
ton, but is taken almost at once into
the blood, where il renders up its
force as required. Eaten moderately,
with suitable diet, they will not pro-
duce cathartic effects. but more nat
ural action of the bowels, so they are
generally laxative. What more could
one ask of fruit than that it should
be both luscious and health-giving
There is one word of warning, though,
that we might offer: When the grapes
are procured from any place other
than from your own vines, they should
be carefully washed before eaten, for
the dust upon them not infrequently
carries with it impure and unhealth-
full particles.
One who has experimental says that
borax will preserve grapes in their
natural state for many months, by
packing them in layers with liberal
sprinkling of boraX between. The
fruit should be well selected, perfect
and dry, and the borax must COM
pletely cover each layer. 1t can be
used repeatedly for the same purpose,
after being spread and thoroughly
dried. This method is also recon-
mended for the preservation of cher
ries, currants, blueberries, gooseber-
ries. etc, none of which would be so
desirable preserved in their natural
state as grapes.
Those who know by experience of
the strengthening properties of
grape juice will not allow any Of the
fruit to go to waste or be eaten by

ened and iced, it has ne equal as a

1t is not true that $4,000 commercial

travellers are now idle. On the con
trary. it is true that more commercial
travellers are employed now than were

this is the same unprecedented expsn-

The Homo of Joan of Arc.

Just beyond the church is the Joan
of Are cottage, an ugly building
which has no charm in itself or in its
surroundings. says Clifton Johnson in
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly 1t
looks more like big shed than any
thing else, for the roof all slants one
way from a very high wall at the
front to a very low one at the back.
The inside is kept as a museum, and
it has all a museums Darkness and
stiffness. with no suggestion of its
ever having been occupied as home.
The old garden at the rear, with its
narrow paths and title plots of flow
ers and vegetables. happily has about
it a real touch of humility. and YOU
can fancy ii is not unlike what it
was in Joan's day, and the mind cas-
lily calls up the scene in those twilight
hours long ago when the bells of the
near church rang and the voices spoke
to the humble shepherd maiden. But
leave the garden and return to the
front of the house, and the illusion
vaniShes. There you find modern or
nameutal shrubs and a small park in
closed by high iron fence. Visitors
are coming and going much of the
time. The spot draws TO itself pill
grims from all over France, and i'm
deed from all over the world; for
Joan of Arc is not a French heroine
alone, she belongs TO the whole hui
man race. All nations honor her, and
none render homage more heartily
than the English. her ancient foes.

serve popular institutions in the Unit

iron heel of despotism will not only
be continued upon the south, but will
be enforced upon the north and west
as well. The power of patronage and
money, the stealings through the

great as to reflect Grant now and as
