off everything of foreign origin that is

ucse led them Co destroy the railroads

discovered that III punished such acts
with death they abandoned an further
opposition.
In 1895 Ii Hung Chang paid visit
to this country and Europe, his first
trip abroad and was honized every
where ne went.
Ii Hung Chang was reputed TO be one
of the richest officials i'm the empire,
and his wealth has been put as high
as 100000 taels, or about $4,000, GOO.
His attaches assert that these figures
are grossly exaggerated, and that their
employer is not nearly as rich as men
commoni. believe. IL is probable that
there are others Shen Taotai, for eX-
ample-WhO are richer, yet " Ii had as
large a share as is stated of the capital
of the China Merchants Company with
its magnificent fleet of ocean and river
steamers and its handsome monopoly
of the carriage of the tribute rice, he
must have ranked among the great
millionaires of the worlds finance
Perhaps Lis most noted character
stic was his inquisitiveness. With this
he had a strong sense of humOr, and
asked the most delightfully."- personal
questions when the answer necessarily
travelled through an Interpreter, and
reached any number of ears. one
woman whom he had just met was po-
litely asked how far she believed in the
efficacy of prayer-not an easy question
to answer i'm a crowded drawing
lie had evidently little use for the new
woman, and declared that the girls he
saw at the public schools ought to be
at their observation-disclosures were for
men.
Personally he was a striking figure,
being over 6 feet 1 inch in his stock
ings, and looking even taller because OF
his thick wooden soles. He wore
gown of bright yellow satin, falling
from his neck to his feet, and over his
a jacket sometimes of brown velvet
with gold buttons, sometimes of seal
skin-unless il was "A state occasion,
when the famous yellow jacket always
appeared. The three-eyed peacock
feather, another of his hOnors, was at
tached by a button to the top of his
state hat, sticking gayly out behind.
When not on dress parade he replaced
this with a skull cap of black silk, in
the front of which was set an enormous
diamond. He drank almost no intoM-
cants, but was fond Of his pipe, COM
plicated affair which a servant carried
around after him, thrusting the end
into his masters mouth at discreet in
tervals At table he used fork as well
as chopsticks, and showed consider
able knowledge Of European customs.

CHANGES IN THE sUeAR INDUSTRY

many and other countries which export sugar the
suit might be felt in lowering of prices in the United
States owing to the increased pressure of supplies abroad
Meanwhile the development of the beet sugar industry
in this country is going rate little understood by
the average American It already large part of
the domestic consumption The continued expansion of
this great business is well assured that it easily

In Michigan alone the production of sugar last year

California did still better and other states contributed
largely a total which is truly imposing the
brief period covered by the beet industry in this
country The beet sugar works may supply 25 per cent of
the sugar used the United States before the end of the
present decade.
As American exports increase in quantity and extend
to wider of products the independence of this
country supplying its own needs becomes more nearly
