PRIZES FOR BABIES.

There is an organization in Chicago
which, the Inter Ocean says, cannot be
duplicated in any other city in the
United States today, if, indeed, in the
world 1t was started early last year,
with quiet little headquarters in one OF
the busiest office buildings on La Sale
street. 1t was properly chartered and
began life with this one motto: with
a mission and without a muzzle." IT
claims that membership is as necessary
for young married people as sunshine
is for flowers. Any married. couple
may join this society by paying a fee
Of 81, and from time to time, as the
occasion comes, by paying such neces-
sary assessments as are levied, share in

| The boxer uprising against foreign
ers in China has spread and many
more lives and much more property
| have been destroyed. The situation in
the celestial empire, as China is called,
is much like that in India at the time

many Europeans were killed by ma

| cago in a very clear fashion. The
Indian mutiny. however, concerned
| only one nation, Great Britain, while
the Chinese uprising affects all the
great powers Of Europe, Great Britain,
Russia, France. Germany and Italy;
one Asiatic power, Japan, and one
| American power, the United States.
On account of its commercial i'm
pOrtance. European nations have been
trying for long time to establish
what are called spheres of influence"
IN China. A sphere of influence is a
section of country which, although it
remains under native government, is
largely Influenced in trade and friendly
relations by some one foreign power
Hence in China there are Russian,
British, German, French, japanese and
Italian spheres of influence" The
United States has never set up any
special sphere but always has
claimed the right to trade with all sec
tons of the country on the same terms
as all other nations.
In spheres of influence" in China,
Russia has a great advantage over
other foreign countries. Under
treaty she holds a ninety-nine years
lease of immense possessions in the
Liao-Tung peninsula which gives her
Port Arthur-a strong naval base-and
the entire district of Manchuria in
Guiding Kisin and Shen Kiang Rus
STA can bring troops into this district
overland from Siberia, and with her
navy in control of Port Arthur she
could hold possibly all the territory
north of the great Hoang-Ho River.
From the g-ste-Kiang river to
the West river on the south, the coun-
try would fall under the control of
Great Britain which owns the island of
Hong Kong and is strongly intrenched
on the Kow Lung peninsula just op-
pOsite. She also has a naval base at
Wei-Hai-Wei, opposite Port Arthur,
where she can watch Russia whose in
fuence with the Chinese government
is greater than that of any other
foreign power. In addition to these
points of vantage Great Britain, I'M
der an agreement with Russia, claims
the Yang -Kiang valley as belong
ing to her sphere.
Frances sphere of influence" is in
southern China. She holds the island
Of Hainan and controls the port of
Kwang-Chan-Wan. Germany has the
province of Shan Tung, except the
point of the peninsula Wei-Hai-Wei
where the British are located Japan
has the island of Formosa, won in her
late war with China, and she looks
with longing eyes at the province of
Fu-Kien, just opposite. Italy makes
claim to San Nun Bay on the coast of

are eligible to partake in it's benefits.
So far there has been 27 assessments
and the amount of $500 paid over in
each case. The association has copy
righted it's name and literature, so as
to avoid, if possible, competition. The
whole business is conducted very
quietly and is purely local in it's char
acter.
The society's physician, taking the
ordinary life tables as his authority,
figures that out of tne 1000 married
couples who are members One-quarter
Of this number will never be eligible to
draw the $500 and, going still further,
he predicts that in spite of the none
tary inducement, one-eig OF the
whole number will not become willing
beneficiaries of the assessment fund.
The full membership is sub-divided for
social purposes into 10 "klans." each
numbering 100 families; these are ar
ranged to suit the individual members
the question of loyalty and social
conditions entering largely into the
makeup.
Inasmuch as there are over $50 aD-
plications on file for membership when
a vacancy occurs the organization is
not looking for new business.

Fairchild and Sawyer.


| heard a new story about the late
Philetus Sawyer, says a writer in an
exchange, at least, it was new to me,
and probably will be new to most of
my readers. 1t is also about the late
Gen. Lucius Fairchild, and as both
these eminent badgers and former Of
fice-holders have passed away, it will
do no harm to tell it. 1t is we'll
known that Mr.. Sawyer was for many
years the arbiter of Wisconsin poll
tics, and that point must be remem-
bered as on it hangs the interesting
portion of the story, which is as fol-
lows:
When Gen. Fairchild was the United
States consul general at Liverpool he
was visited one day by some Ameri-
can women who brought with them
some English women to make his &C
quaintance. Gen. Fairchild was al
ways a good host and he did the hon
ors Of the occasion in proper style.
He was always a good story-teller and
he RECALLED his visitors with a choice
assortment Of stories, everyone having
it's peculiar point. Touching the illit-
crate character of some Americans
who have come to the top of the tree,
both in politics and in business, the
general told a story of one man he
knew in Wisconsin who was a man of
millions and was at that time a United
States senator. This man he said
was so illiterate that when he was
elected mayor Of a little Wisconsin
city named Oshkosh, he appended to
the first official document he had to
sign, "Philetus Sawyer, mare"
1t happened that among the visitors
was, SO the story goes, a young wo-
man who was the granddaughter of
the former mare" of Oshkosh. She
gave no sign of that relationship and
there was nothing said to mar the re-
ception of the story, but when she
came home she told grandpa all about
it. And then the veteran political
boss sWore a mighty oath minus the
usual profanity He simply said:
We'll, that is all right; but so long as
I live I will see to it that Lucius
Fairchild never holds another Office of
any importance" And he never did.
| tell you the story as it was told to
NE, and it is a good one, whether it
is true or not. At the same time
feel that l must take the liberty of
pointing out some trifling anachron~
isms in it so as to preserve the facts
cf history. At the time Gen. Fair
child was consul general at Liverpool,
PhiletuS Sawyer was not United
States senator nor for some years
thereafter. That was in the '70s, and
Mr.. Sawyer became senator in 1881.
Gen. FairchiId was also consul gen.
eral at Paris after that, and he was
minister to Spain at the time Mr.
Sawyer was elected to the senate, but
that was the last political Office he
ever held. Whether it was a grand
daughter or other female relative who
heard the story and carried it home
is immaterial, the point remains the
same. If Senator Sawyer wanted to
keep Gen. Fairchild out of important
political office after that time perhaps
he did it. But the foundation of the
story is historically correct in the
other respect, for it is well known
that as mare of Oshkosh Mr.. Saw
yer first became known to fame.

the mosquito are occupied by facetted
eyes. This probably accounts for the
ease with which mosquitoes escape
from impending smashing under an
uplifted hand. They are able to see
all around them and so are able to get
out of danger. In some species the
eyes touch each other in front, so
completely do they cover the head.
A recent work on gnats, or mos
quitoes, by Major George NJ. Giles, an
English investigator, names over 24O
distinct species. Of these the culex
varieties comprise about three
fourths. These are distinguished from
the anopheles or malaria bearing mos
quitoes. With the exception of the
polar regions it is said that no at
all extensive land surface on the globe
is free from mosquitoes. In North
America there are no less than IL
culex species.
AS rule the culex is soberly
colored, although under the lens he
shows elaborate and beautiful mark

spots on the wings, as distinguished
from the mottled-winged anopheles.
Such distinctions Of the culex varie-
ties are noted as varying colors OF
thOraX and abdomen and knees spot
ted. The males are distinguished by
having plumed antennae, while the
females have their antennae nearly
bare, or with tufts of hair at the base.
Probably the most common culex
mosquito is the cuIex signifier, which
is thus described: Wings unspotetd
but with brindle scales, tarsal joints
banded white at both end, thorax
broWnish black, with two subdorsal
silvery vitae on the anterior half
and arcuate siIvery lines throughout.
Abdomen violaceous with white basal
bands to the segments.
The cuIeX solicitans is the signifi-
cant name of another United States
mosquito which is thus described:
Black with faWn-colored fomentum,
probOscis long, slender, curved, tes-
taceOUs, black toward the tip. Anten-
nae black testaceous at the base;
thorax fawn-colored, with two black
stripes; pleurae and pectus whitish;
abdomen with two lateral black quad
rate spots on each segment, the two
APPEAL segments with narrower spots;
legs slender; tart black with white
band; wings grayish; veins testace-
GUS with brown knobs; length of body
, lines; of the wings, lines.

CHINA
AND THE POWERS.
MISREPRESENTATION; 5saS

! Che-kiang province, but her claim has
never been allowed.
! The Christian missionaries have
done a great deal to help establish
/ these spheres of influence by creating
a better feeling between China people
and foreigners. A very large number
| Of the Chinese, however, have always
opposed any concessions to foreigners
and have always hated the mission
aries for trying &c convert the people
to Christianity. This is the class OF
! Chinese Of which the boxer society is
| formed.
The outbreak on the part of the
boxers has made it necessary for the
foreign nations to send warships and
troops to China to protect foreigners,
and those already there and on the
way number about fifty ships and
$4,000 soldiers. In the meantime many
foreigners have been killed and much
foreign property has been burned. In
what way the foreign governments
will make China pay for these lives
and this property cannot now be
stated. Some of them are anxious to
own the land in their spheres of in
iuence," and more, too, and it may
be that when foreign troops take
possession of the country where the
boxers are now, and have restored or
der, that they will be kept there to
hold the country for their respective
governments.
Or, the foreign nations may decide
to divide the entire country among
themselves and carry out their deci-
sion with their armies and navies.
There is one reason why this may not
be done, and that is the probability
that they cannot agree what share
each shall have. The United States
also stands in the way of a division
Of the Chinese empire. At the pres
ent this country has the same trade
privileges as other nations. If the
country were divided among the other
nations, Russia, Germany and
France would want their home cOun-
tries to have the advantages of the
trade. This would not suit the United
States, Great Britain and Japan who
stand for equal rights in Chinese trade.
1t is possible that an attempt to par
tition China-that is to divide it up
among the other nations-might lead
to war between the powers. In this
event the fighting would be largely
confined to the army which would
give Russia big advantage She has
the largest standing army in the
world. Her army in peace is S99,256
and in time of war she could at once
put into the field 3,527,662 men. Many
of the E. E. troops are within easy call
of the present scene of trouble.
The positions of the foreign nations
in China may be summed up thus:
Russia, Germany, France and Italy In
favor of a partition of China; Great
Britain, the United States and Japan
in favor of keeping the empire to-
gether and sharing in it's trade on
equal terms with other nations. But
if it were agreed to partition the
country, Great Britain and Japan each
would demand large share.

CHINESE HOUSES.

In the four cities which make up the
capital, and particularly in the i'm
perial city, live most of the leading
and opulent class, and therefore the
houses are of more important and
solid appearance than is the rule else
where. High brick walls, with a
single stone entrance, surround
multitude of courts, fanked by the
rooted dwelling rooms. 1t is a curious
and universal custom among the
Chinese to put up Immediately facing
the outer door stone or brick screen,
bearing tablets or painted scrools in
Scribed with the names Of ancestors
or classical texts. The object, accord
ing to time-honored superstition is to
ward off evil spirits, for the demon on
entering knocks his head against the
obstacle, and, being devOut to all
sense but an elementary hatred II
mankind, is repulsed and goes away

should have the cleverness to turn in

attempt at Ostentation, or even OF
decent comfort, about these dwelling
places. Within they are mere ram
shackIe bungalows, with stone-fagged
floors and paper windows, Realistically
cut up by wooden partitions and
papered without taste or cleanliness.
The furniture is polished wood made in
the stiff square style that is not IN
familiar. Ornaments are few, and Of
the commonest make, while the bronze
vessels to be seen are all modern and
coarse in workmanship.
