HOW kWANG HSU LOOKS.
Emperor Holds Audiences from Mid.
niqht Till Dawn

The Chinese emperor" says Prof
|. I. Headland in Ainslee's, lis now
about thirty years of age, he is under
the medium height, sallow, and appar-
emily of weak constitution. He has
received good training in Chinese and
in Manchu. He knows some English.
He has a wife, dozen concubines, and
no children. He is unable to control
his explosive temper. 1t is doubtful
whether he can exert a rule of author
lty over others. He has a kind of fem
mime energy to push ahead, but lacks
clear vision of surrounding conditions.
His reform edicts are unique in the
history of the empire It is impossible
to say, however, what part of them is
due to him and what part to Kang Yu-
Wei, the greatest leader of the reform
party
The Emperor, as is customary IN
China, transacts all state affairs be-
tween twelve at midnight and the rise
OF the sun. Some sharp tongue has
said that the Chinese love darkness
because their deeds are evil. What is
good, however. is done at the same
time. 1t is during these hours which
are all published in the Pekin Gazette.
Two officials shadow the emperor with
out ceasing. These are the imperial
recorders. They note and transcribe
his every act, his every word. Their
memoranda are not opened until the
history Of the dynasty is written. long
after the rotting bones of Kwang Hsu
have become sacred beside those of
his ancestors

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.
How He Appeared at Brook Farm to a
Girl of 16.

How He Appeared at Brook Farm to {
Girl of Is.
A human glimpse of Hawthorne is
that given in Mrs. Ora Gannett Sed
wick's article, A Gill of Sixteen al
Brook Farm, in the Atlantic:
Il do not recollect Hawthorne's talk.
ing much at the table. Indeed, he
was a very taciturn man. One day,
tired of seing him sitting immovable
on the sofa in the hall, as l was learn
ing some verses to recite at the even
ing class for recitation formed by
Charles A. Dana, daringly took my
book, pushed it into his hands, and
said, Will you hear my poetry, Mr.
Hawthorne?' He gave me sidelong
glance from his very shy eyes, took the
book, and most kindly heard me.
After that he was on the sofa every
week to hear me recite.
Zone evening he was alone in the
hall, sitting On chair at the farther
end, when my roommate, Ellen Slade,
and myself were going up stairs. She
whispered to me, Let's throw the sofa
pillow at Mr. Hawthorne Reaching
over the balusters, we each took
cushion, and threw it. Quick as a
flash he put out his hand, seized a
broom that was hanging near him,
warded off our cushions, and threw
them back with sure aim AS fast as
we could throw them at him he re-
turned them with effect, hitting US
every time, while we could hit only the
broom. He must have been very quick
IN his movements. Through it all not
word was spoken We laughed and
laughed, and his eyes shone and
twinkled like stars Wonderful eyes
they were, and when anything witty
was said I always looked quickly at
Mr.. Hawthorne; for his dark eyes
lighted up as if flames were suddenly
kindled behind them, and then the
smile came down to his lips and over
his face.
my memories Of Mr. Hawthorne are |
among the pleasantest Of my Brook

saw him one day walking, as was his
custom, with his hands behind his
back, head bent forward, the two little
Bancrofts and other children following
him with pleased faces, and stopping
every now and then with broad smiles,
after which they would rise and run on
again behind him. Puzzled at these
maneuvers, l watched closely, and
found that, although he hardly moved
a muscle, except to walk, yet from
time to time he dropped a penny. for

NEWS OF THE WORLD.
CHINA.

The ST. Petersburg Novoe Vremya
says it believes that the powers are be-
coming convinced that China is I'M
able to pay a war indemnity, and that
this discovery will cool the Anglo-Ger-
man war fever.
A London dispatch from Pekln,
dated November II. says: Another
small German expedition goes north
tomorrow, in spite of the fact that
these punitive raids are strongly criti-
cised here as serving no good pur-
pose"
A London dispatch from Tientsin,
dated November TO- says a force Of
Russians has captured the arsenal
northeast of Yangtsun with trifling
loss, killing two hundred Chinese and
capturing a quantity of arms and
treasure.
Reports Of the death of the dowagor
empress are persistent, though there
is no official confirmation of them,
communication with the court being
very irregular. There is a growing
belief, however, that she will never re-
turn to Pekin.
The Russians have ordered the
foreigners in the railroad houses at
Tongku to vacate the buildings and the
British have sent there a company of
infantry and a hundred Bombay
cavalry, ordering these troops to re-
tain and protect the property.
a dispatch from Tientsin, dated
November 8, said that as result OF
the British representation to the st.
Petersburg government Russia is of
fically handing over the railroad be-
tween Tongku and Pekin to Field Mar
shall Count on Waldersee. commander
in-chief of the international forces
who will give it up to the British
owners.
A semi-offlcial dispatch to Berlin
from Pekin, dated November II, gives
the text of the coniOint note of the
powers to China. confirming the Lon
don Times dispatch, dated Pekin, No
vember II. Among the additional
stipulations the note requires China tC
erect expiatroy monuments in every
foreign or international burial ground
where graves have been profaned.
The reichstag bill provided for a
third supplementary credit on account
OF the China expedition fixes the
salary of Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee at 10000 marks annually
with large extras. The division com
manders will receive $4,000 marks and
extras, and lower officers will be paid
proportionately. The above are five
times the rates of the salaries paid at
home.

HAPPlEST CLASS.
Those That Enjoy Life Most Have
Neither Riches nor Proverty.


Neither Riches nor Proverty.
In writing of THE Happiest Glass of
People" in the Woman's Home Com
panion John Gilmer Speed arrives at
| the following conclusion: 81 have told
you who are the unhappiest men, and
now it is my pleasant duty to speak of
the happiest state. Solomon indicated
it in his petition, Give me neither
riches nor poverty There is in that,
as in most of the proverbs, both defini-
ton and description. Neither riches
nor poverty. | need say little more.
We all now what the alternative is
that middle state where the income
| safely exceeds the expenditure. Then
man can be happy-and he have a
good temper and a robust digestion
| it does not make much difference what
goes on around him. He is safe. and
for the time being at least his family
is secure. The best thing about this
happiest state is that it has within it
such tremendously large class. 1t is
not only man here and there that be-
longs within it; the men are legions.
In this country it embraces all of the
great middle class. And the very
great majority of them do not even
know that theirs is the happiest state;
they do not dream how well they are
off. Some of them, being wrong
headed men, envy their richer neigh
bors; some others throw away their
valuable sufficiency in the endeavor to
get riches; some others get riches, and
then are not as happy as they were be-
fore. Let those who are in this happi-
est state continue in it if they can, for
the world at large and the country at
home has great need for them. They
constitute the great conservative force
the force which prevents the demo-
cratic country from going pellmell
to smash; they represent the solid
honesty which stands midway between
the madness of too rapid social re-
form and the Unsuitable greed of the
INSCRIPTIONS who look upon the whole
world as gold-mine that belongs to
them by right of Inheritance or pur-
chase. Happy should be the land
where this class is very great; and 1t
is crater in the United States than
anywhere else in the world

There has been dicoyered at Dunga,
in east Africa, according to the British
consul at ZANZIBAR, new variety Of
gutta percha. 1t is derived from
tree, which, when tapped, exudes a
white fluid capable of being coagulated
in boiling water into a substance close
ly resembling ordinary gutta percha.
Experts think it suitable for some pur-
poses for which gutta percha is at pres-
ent utilized and believe that it will be-
come marketable article. It is said
to abound in Zanzibar and will be
cheap.

REPRESENTATION IN mn sourp

Congressman C~rumpacker. OF Indiana,
has introduced into the house OF repre-
sentatiyes a measure which, II cOnsid-
cred seriously by the republican ma
tority, is likely to revive an important
political issue. The bill requires the di.
rector OF the cencus TO furnish congress
with statistical information for use as a
basis Of representation under the twelfth
census, which will be taken this year.
IL directs the census officers to digest
the election and registration laws OF the
different states, 80 far ~ they affect the
qualification OF voters; TO collect stats
tics showing the number OF registered
