PEkiN a CITY OF INTRIGUE

From the London Telegraph.
 Every ViceToy in China is, in theory, ab- soutely the creature of his Emperor. By edict he may be degraded to the rank of a coolie, or brought before the Board of Pun ishments In practice every Viceroy has his party at court his friends, who, like the undertakers of the eighteenth century, take his pay to defend his interests. In the palace, too, the imperial policy has ever been to play off magnate against magnate and never to allow any one official to be- come too strong. The advantages of a bal ance of power are we'll understood in the FoTbidden City

United States ConsoIs.

The administration is becoming very "Engiish"-so much so that it has printed across the face of each new per cent. bond these words, Two per cent. consols of 1S30." The word "consol' is contrac- tion for consolidated annuities," and it fits or fitted the English case when it was invented, but its importation and applica- tion to an American loan Is strictly arbi- trary and unhistorical. For no consolida- ton of bonds or indebtedness much less of annuities, has taken place in this country. We have simply exchanged some higher rate bonds for two per cents, adding years enough to the latter to make them &C., ceptable to the banks at least.
 But, thanks to British influence, we have at last United States consols and no harm seems to be done. There is not much In a name, as William Shakespeare once re- marked. As the lowest denomination of these consols is $l,oOO. the issue will not be apt to offend American eyes very often.
 Near the words 1.-TWO per cent. consols of 19S0' stands female figure, thinly clad, holding tablet on which is inscribed .Lex" This means that there is warrant in the law for the words, Two per cent. : consols of 193O." No one but the tablet holder has. however. discovered it. Another figure. also summer clad, holds aloft a torch, so that all may read the tablet and the words that it refers to.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Were in Hard Luck

From the Denver Times.
 "once upon a time." as all good stories begin, there was company which stranded at Fort Worth, Tex. They were in sore straits-owed the hotel bill, the printer and the transfer man. Under the existing cir cumstances someone met one of the actors and said:
 "Old man, let me give you a friendly tip get out of here and go to Little Rock There's the town, me boy; it's on a boom and you can't play to less than $7OO or $500 to save your life''
 This sounded well, very we'll and the actor, who, by the way was the "heavy man or villain of the company, sub mitted the proposition to d called meeting Of the company In the parlor of the hotel
 The result of which was an agreement that each one should pawn something and raise the cash to pay the bills, railroad fare, etc. This was done, and in due time they arrived at Little Rock.
 On the train it had been agreed, after seat-to-seat consultation, that the company should ride up town" put on a bold front and be particularly pleasant to everybody. So when the train pulled into Little Rock they dismounted and the bus was so filled that the heavy man" had to ride on the front seat with the driver.
 Fine evening"" ventured the villain"
 'Yep" was the laconic reply.
 That's beautiful sunset over there continued the actor, pointing to red glow at his left.
 Sunset! Sunset, nawthin,," snorted the driver, in full scorn. That's the Operay House burnin' down."
 When Mo her Had Her Habits On From the Kansas City Star.
 Have you anything to say, my lad" asked the Judge, not unkindly, before sen- tence is passed upon you? You have not the face of a criminal. Sometimes parents are responsible when children-and you are little more than a child-come into my court for correction. Perhaps your home life was unhappy. Sometimes a parent will spend for drink or gambling or other form of vice. the money, the time the en- ergy, the care that should go to make their home life brighter. Was your father, lad, the victim of some bad habit?"
 No, sir" answered the lad 'It was mother"
 Your mother? Tell me about it."
 Well sir, father didn't notice it much, but after he got to sitting up nights wait ing for her, and she would come in full of 1t, he god mad and stayed away from home days at time. When she was full of it mother never used to mind the meals or us kids; then father left us and the home was broken up, but mother didn't care; she was SO full of it
 You mean VOLT mother lad was full of whiskey all the time? It's preposterous."
 No, Judge; not whiskey, but reform
