it is probably safe to venture the as
sertion that at least nineteen thousand
nine hundred and ninety-nine OF them
have at various times and places e1'
pressed opinions not wholly compli'
mentsry to the editors to whom they
have submitted their manuscripts. Oi
these writer's, the great majority are
either not successful, or only aggra-
vatingly so.

Not a Foreigner Alive.

London, by Cable.-"Not single for
eigner Is alive in Pekin," is the latest
Chinese report which has reached
Shanghai. Other Shanghai reports de-
scribe the condition of the British le-
CATION as awful. 1t is said that the
rooms Of the legation were filled with
sick and wounded, the killed lying un.
buried in heaps. 1t Is believed that
many members and officials OF the
Tsung Ii Yamen perished when the
German guard, maddened by the muir
der Of Baron Ketteler, the German
minister, set fire to the building. That
the foreigners at the Chinese capital
have been abandoned to their horrible
fate no longer seems open to doubt.

The farmers who own their farms
and pay as they go are the most inde-
pendent people on earth. If the ris'
ing generation OF farm boys could
see the things as they really are, they
might be willing to start on small
scale and extend their borders as they
are able, thinks the Farmers Guide.
The boy should not expect to start in
life as "well fixed" as his father Is,
after working for a lifetime. Farm
.ife has more sunshine, balmy breezes,
good health, bird songs, luscious fruits,
pure water and air, wholesome food,
han any other, ''an1 if the farmer is
out of debt and has clear conscience,
be has less anxiety than people OF any
other calling.

The Hartford Telegram discusses
the proposed adoption of the metric
system by this country at some length
and says: "The United States now
have decimal system Of money, and
its market convenience should teach
Americans the value of the decimal
system wherever numbers enter or
calculation is involved" The Tele-
gram ventures the prediction that
"before the expiration of many de-
cades the United States Congress will
prescribe the use of the metric system
throughout the United States"

The announcement that line OF
automobiles is to 60 into service In
competition with the street railways
naturally gives rise to much specula-
ton as to the effect OF this form Of
local transit service on the street
railway business, says the Chicago
Record. There are those bold enough
to predict that the car designated to
run on rails laid in the streets will IN
time give way entirely to self-pro-
PEELED vehicles, that require no other
street foundation than the ordinary
pavement. II this should prove to
be the case the street railway problem
will be much simpliGed. 1t will only
be necessary for the authorities to
provide first-class pavements through
out the city, when all who desire to
engage in the business of carrying
passengers can do so. Thus cost and
quality of service could be left to
regulation by competition, which now
is out of the question, because but
a single corporation can be permitted
to lay tracks and to operate cars in
any given street.
