She Revoked the Rule.

Some time ago the czarina, a very
phllanthropic and religious woman,
made up her mind that the lavish use
Of tobacco in Russia was doing harm.
She thereupon prohibited the use of
the weed, and especially of cigarettes,
in tie court
few days passed, and her imperial
majesty needed some money. 1t did
not come, even after she had sent a
confidential servant to the treasury.
1At last, in place of money, came Il
white bearded old man from that in.
stitution, with pleasant voice and at
tractive address.
There must be Il mistake, your i'm
pcrial majesty. Two weeks ago YOU
prohibited the use Of tobacco in the
court and so great is your influence
and so deep the love for you among the
people that the sales Of the weed drop
ped down to a fraction of what for
merly was the case, and the internal
revenue receipts became less than the
expenses. The government appreciat-
ed your high munificence because IN
der the law Of the land your income
Is charged against the tobacco tax Of
this district, and it was supposed that
you had concluded to give up your
wealth in order to carry out your
views upon REFORM
The following week, so the story
goes, the rule was relaxed, and the
czarina's sudden poverty vanished as
if by magic.-Saturday Evening Post.

Chinese Government Unrepent-
ant and Not Ready to Open 7
Negotiations.
Exhorts Viceroys to Unite md
Avenge Injury Inflicted by
Foreigners.
NO Agreement Reached Regard
ing the Future Policy Of
!
.4 the Powers.

LONDON, Sept. 6.-No official pro.
nouncement is yet forthcoming here in
regard to the decision Of the powers
concerning China; but .he concensus of
opinion continues suggestive of COM
promise on the proposals now under
consideration. In the meanwhile there
is little authoritative indication that
the dowager empress is ready to treat
for peace, even if the allied powers
reach an agreement in regard to the
best means of opening negotiations.
On the contrary, many rumors gath
cred at Shanghai suggest that she is
carrying on her anti-foreign policy with
increased zeal. The latest reported i'm
perial decree from Tai Yuan-Fu is said
to be defiant and unrepentant and to
contain the statement that the court
led lest the emperor might be killed
during the fighting between the Boxers
and Christians and thus leave no one
to continue the ''ancestral worship. "
The decree is also said to exhort a
union of the viceroys to ''avenge the
injuries inflicted on China" by the
powers.
The Chinese minister here, Sir Chih
Chin Lo Feng Luh, admits the correct
ness, IN general sense, OF the cable
message sent to him, according to
Shanghai advices, by Ii Hung Chang,
IN which the latter is quoted as saying:
"Our st. Petersburg minister has
persuaded Russia to leave Peking. You
are useless if you cannot persuade Eng.

Deserted Villages,

As result Of the closing of the mills

of employment. This means 5000
mouths to feed and 5000 bodies to

The effect Of suddenly stopping the
earnings OF 1000 is not only great
disaster to the workmen and their fam
lilies, but it is disaster to the town
where such an event occurs. In the
proportion which the unemployed bear
to the whole population is the business
and industrial economy Of the town
affected. If, for instance, in a town of
10000 population 1, 200 are thrown out
OF work, practically one-half of the
earning power of the town is lost and
the other half is greatly crippled by
reason of the fact that the latter are
largely dependent upon the former.
In many towns and villages through
out the United States one or two fac
tories are their sole support The fac
tory pay rolls supply local merchants
with revenue, and the operatives fur
nish market for the farm products
raised in the neighborhood When the
mill stops and the workers are thrown
out of employment, the town is laid
