NOT IN THE PLAY.
a Case Where Two Actors Displayed
Presence of Mind.

4 short time ago a great historical
play was being given in an Italian
thcater The king had to read his
speech frcm the throne. He was sur
rounded by the court, all the repre-
sentative mobiles of the nation, the gov
ernors of the provinces and the heads
of the army
Clad in his magnificent robes Qined
with rabbit skim he stalked majestic
ally across the stage. and. with fitting
hautcur. slowly assembled the steps
leading to the throne. Every one bowed
low. and the chancellor handed to his
majesty the parchment roll from which
TO read the royal speech.
All waited attentively to catch the
words from the royal lips, but his maj
cstv found, to his chagrin, that the
roll was blank. The speech was long
and had not been committed to men,
DRY.
1t was impossible to get through it
with the aid Of the prompter, for he
was too far away to render the need
full service. \ bright thought passed
through tie royal brain.
Having glanced over the roll as if to
gather the gist of the speech, he again
folded it and handed it back to the
chancellor with the command:
You read it."
The chancellor was somewhat put
out, but dutifully took the roll and
opened it, only to discover the royal
pleasantly, whereupOn, again rolling
the parchment up and taking from his
breast the Respondent tin order, he
laid them together at the kings feet,
with:
Your majesty, as l cannot read the
speech. l tender my resignation" and
walked off the stage.

DANGER FROM OvEREATlNG.
Insanity Often Caused by Too Liber-
al Indulgence In Food.

al Indulgence In ROOD.
It is well known to the few medical
men that many cases of insanity are
directly due TO overeating and the con-
sequent absorption into the circulation
of toxic matters from the intestinal
tract, and melancholia. whether in mild
or severe form, is generally due to this
cause Violent paroxysms of temper,
whether in children or adults, are often
properly referable to 4 bad state of the
blood from this auto toNemia, as are in
deed the exceedingly eXuberant spirits
of old or young at times. Just as we
observe in alcoholic poisoning, some
individuals are made temporarily jolly
and good natured: others are made
ugly and unreasonable.
In view of this condition Of affairs
isn't it rather wise plan for us all to
consider rather the needs of the or
gauism for food than the mere ques-
ton of palate tickling, to aim to eat
good instead of bad food and enough
Of it-that is, not too much-tO have
the conditions about right when we
take our meals; in brief to try and
treat our bodies decently even though
we act from purely sensual point of
view? In no other way can we secure
the highest possible degree of pleasure
on the average, while by acting thus
sensibly we may enjoy practical inn
munity from disease.
The more exercise we take under
proper conditions, the more we are ex-
posed to cold, and the clearer we keep
from excess i'll clothing the more we
may eat: hence, in order to enjoy the
fullest measure of table pleasures, we
must live actively, wear as little cloth
ing as is consistent with comfort and
do considerable "roughing'
called hardening. With all this we
should take our meals at times when
the body or brain is not Overtired, and
when we "have leisure to digest and,
of all things, we should never eat I'M
less we are hungry. To eat without an
appetite is self abuse OF the most
stupid sort, since il affords no pleasure
and is productive of disease.-Physical

Is it the system or is it the service?
The local telephone is the most try
ing thing upon the temper that it has
ever fallen to ones lot to try to use.
Some kind of public explanation is due
to let people know whether this shall
go on forever, or is it "oing to cease.
There is certainly limit to public en-
durance. When that is reached there
win be a united movement to throw
all telephones out, and the company

THE CHINESE SITUATION.

The Chinese question is by no means
working itself out. The demands"
have not yet been formulated and the
peace negotiations hang fire Mean
time the German troops are being sent
on small punitive expeditions, while
quite an extensive expedition has
started north to Mukden, where are
the sacred tombs of the Manchu dy-
nasty and if that expedition gets there,
which there is every reason to believe,
that it will, the sacred tombs will cease
TO exist,
OF course there is something CHOU
fish in smashing up tombs and taking
away memorial tablets, but it is the
only way in which these people can
be reached. The essence of the power
of the Emperor lies in his ancestors.
If his ancestors tombs disappear.
how is the ancestor worship to be
carried on? Moreover it is just reta-
liation in that the Chinese destroyed
the European and American cemetery
at Peking, dug up the collins and scat
tered the contents to the winds of heav-
en- smashed the tombstones and ground
some to powder, and cut down every
tree and shrub, If you are going to

mete out punishment you must mete
Il out In form that will be under
stood. The destruction OF the Ming
tombs will be better understood than
the killing Of many thousand Chinese.
The expeditions Of Count Valdez
sees are consideil bly, criticized. Nat
urally the pro-Chinese criticize them.
But they are good policy. The peace
negotiations are not yet on a formu-
lated basis, therefore the more the
country is harassed. the more likely
are the terms to be acceptd be they
never CO hard What the Chinese
would like would be to suspend all
military expeditions and operations
and sit down and talk and waste time,
till they are ready to strike a blow
on their side The Imperial arm fac
tories on the Yang-tse are working
night and day and are turning out
rifles by the thousand daily, while
some big guns have also been manu-
featured.
If the powers are going to gain any
real advantage they much gain it soon.
Delay is all on the side of the Chinese
government. OF course the greatest

hands of Cortez, but his fate would not
be so tragic.
Every item of demand from the
Western powers will be urged against
by the Chinese plenipotentiaries, and
there will be a special effort to save
Prince Tuan. The Chief Culprit, the
Empress-Dowager has never been re-
garded as in the sphere of punishment,
though if there had been a Cromwell
in China, neither her rank nor her sex
would have saved her. The plea on
Prince Tuans account is that his son
is the heir apparent to the Chinese
throne and if Tuan is executed it would
degrade his son and therefore unfit
him for his future position of Emperor.
There must be numerous princelings
about and it is by no means necessary
that Tuan's son should be Emperor.
no special aptitude for governing.
After talking long about the inte-
gritty of the Empire, there seems now
to be a reaction and the question of
partition is once again to the fore. This
is against the policy of the United
States and against that of Great Brit
ain. In the event of the other powers
being in concert upon this point, what
are the two Englsh-speaking powers
~oi'-. to do? Will they go to war to
preserve the integrity of China or will
they see their most lucrative markets
shut against them?
The question of indemnity is another
great difficulty. Some powers want the
native Christians to be Unidentified,
and this will bring about endless trou-
BILE in seeking out survivors and APP
portioning the money properly. Others
think, and again the Englsh-speak-
ing powers agree, that only the for
eigners should be Unidentified and of
course the military costs of the powers
paid. The theory being that Foreign
Powers must not interfere between the
Chinese government and it's own sub
jects.
The rescue of the Legations no more
finished the Chinese question, than the
Battle of Manila did that of the Phil
ippines. 1t was practically only the
raising of the curtain and prologue
