There is refreshing absence of any
thing offensive and an abundance Of
wholesale fun in the performance Of the
Richards and Pringle's mammoth min
strel organization that is at the Marga-
ret theater tonight. This big attraction
caters to the most refined patronage and
furnishes hours of solid enjoyment
without a suggestive utterance during
the whole performance, and this has
been the phenomenal success of this big
combination. It's fifty performers are
selected from the best in the colored
minstrel line, and every act presented
is bright brisk and original and sure to
please the most critical.

Heating Houses in corsa.

Stoves are not used to any extent by
the native Coreans. In building THEFT
houses they lay down system of fiues
where the floor Is to be. These flues
begin at a fireplace, which is usually
placed in an outer shed or connecting
closed alleyway. From this fireplace
the flues extend in a more or less
curved direction, like the ribs of a
round fan, to trench at the rear OF
the room, which in turn opens into a
chimney, which is usually placed some
distance from the house. Flat flag
stones are then placed carefully over
these flues, and the whole is cementeG
over and finally covered with the thick
oil paper for which the country is
noted. This paper keeps smoke from
entering the room, and a little straw
or brushwood, used in the fireplace for
cooking the rice, serves to heat the
stone floor and gives an agreeable
warmth which lasts till the time of
the next meal. Two heatings daily
serve 10 give the people a nice, warm
floor, upon which they sit in the day.
time and sleep at night. BY leaving
their shoes at the door, the inmates
preserve the paper floor, which from
constant polishing takes on a rich
brown color.-Consular Report.

SALARIES OF KINGS.
Russia's Gar Gets Most and switzerland's
Ruler Least.


Russia's Gar Gets Most and switzer1and's
Ruler Least.
The extremes of salary are illustrat-
Ell by the pay OF the car of Russia
and the president of Switzerland. The
former gets $4,000 day, while the
latter is happy and satisfied with $7.92
each twenty-four hours. These figures
are based on 365 working days in the
year, for monarchs are supposed to be
always working.
Now these executives-of Russia and
Switzerland-ar at the, extremes of
the rulers payroll, the first getting
$S,766,000 a year and the other $4,000.
Between these extremes the other
eleven nations considered are scatter
ed in a haphazard manner, with no
uniform relation between the amount
OF yearly salary and the number of
persons who must pay it. The emperor
of Austria, with his $4,3S0,000 annu-
ally, comes under the car of all the
Russias, while President Mckinley,
with his $4,000. comes next above the
president of little Switzerland. After
Austria comes Germany, which pays
Emperor William SO, 100000; then the
king Of Italy, with $2,435, 900; Shah of
Persia, $2.335, 900; Queen Victoria, ST.
$4,000; King of Belgium, $685., 900;
King Of Norway and Sweden, $780,
Queen OF the Netherlands, $292, 600;
King of Greece, 1888, 900; and the pres.
ident of France, $239,0O0. President
Faure receives but little more regular
salary than President Mckinley, but
he has fixed 'perquisites that bring his
income from the state to the amount
given.
The amounts of the salaries of these
honored men and women bear very
odd relations to the number of persons
for whose benefit they are supposed to
administer laws of their own or the
peoples making. Now, each subject Of
the car has to annually pay seven
and four-ffths cents to his ruler, and
stands eighth on the list, while the
Persians, each of whom must yearly
pay to the Shah thirty and three-quar-
tiers cents, heads it, Switzerland, with
the smallest population and salary,
does not pay the least per capita, for
the United States, with seven-one hun
dredths of a cent for each inhabitant,
Is at the bottom of the list, Switzerland
being next above, with eight-one hun
dredths of cent Turkey, with TWEEN
ty cents for each subject, naturally
comes next below Persia, and Greece,
with eleven and two-fifths cents, comes
next. Then, in the descending scale,
come Austria, with ten and two-fifths
cents for each subject TO pay to the
rEser; Belgium, ten and one-fifth cents;
Icaly, nine cents; Norway and Sweden
eight cents; then Russia, then Ger
m1ny, six and three-fifths cents: Hol
land, six and one-fifth; France, six;
Great Britain, four and three-fifths
and then Switzerland and the United
States.-N. Y. Herald.

An,omobilr.m in Francs.

The ever increasing whirr and bus
tie Of automobiles in the streets of
Paris announce to the general public
In the most unmistakable way that
horseless carriages are on the move
In more senses than one.
The president of the Automobile
club, in the course OF q conversation
with New York Herald correspond
emit. points out some of the features of
this triumphant progress of automo-
bilism, SO far as Paris is concerned. I
Great advance has been made during
the last two years In reducing noise
and vibration, and in facility in nand-
ling automobiles. Electricity is com
ing to the front more than ever, and
the Introduction in Paris of two Am
erican makes, under the auspices of
the Automobile club, should clearly in
dictate TO foreign manufacturers that il
they have good thing in the way of
automobiles, Paris is good place TO
demonstrate whatever superiority 1t
may possess.
But where would automobilism N
France be now IL the Paris Automobile
club did not exist? Comparing the
past with the present. 1t needs no
great stretch Of imagination to see
how mechanical traction will event
ually entirely supplant the uses of the
horse in the ordinary wear and tear of
business street trafic. AS a means to
this end the Automobile club. if true
to its traditions. will prove one of the
most powerful factors in France.-Eu-

POSTAL CARDS.

Dealers in Second Hand Postal Cards Come
pete the Post-ofiice.
There are half-a-dozen men in New
York who undersell the United States
Government in respect to postal cards.
These men sell four or five million
one-cent postal cards annually at an
average price of nine-tenths of cent
apiece. one tenth of cent less than
the official price, Notwithstanding that
the cards cost them early half a cent,
at least two-sevenths of a cent, and
only cost the government twenty-four
cents thousand.
The competitors of the Government
are men who buy cards upon which
an address or advertising matter has
been printed, and erase or obliterate
the printing without illegally changing
the card
They purchase the printed cards in
small and large quantities from all
sources. When two firms consolidate,
the postal cards addressed and printed
belonging to each firm are useless
firm changing the location of It's shop
and desiring to inform it's patrons OF
the change usually overestimates the
number of postal cards needed. A
manufacturer in a large way, who
sends out hundreds of thousands OF
cards every year. often decides that
the printed matter on batch OF cards
is not satisfactory, and may have
hundred thousand useless cards on
his hands. The post-ofiice will not
take them back with money refunded,
and will not issue other cards IN ex-
change for them. These cards are
bought at cost of from one-ffth to
one-quarter of a cent each. The deal
er either grasses the printing with
chemicals, by a secret process, or OBJ
literates it with glazed wash resem5-
ling calcimins. Tie composition Of
the calcimine is supposed to be a Sc
cret with the inventor of this second
process, but the secret Is so open that
other firms have discovered the art
and are practising 1t IN opposition to
the originator. The chemical process
leaves the cards like new: the wash
process leaves them, except where the
Government printing is at the top Of
the face. any color commonly used.
There are no similar dealers in
stamped envelopes GPcu which ad-
dresses have been printed. The post
Office takes back such envelopes, pay
ing two cents each for the postage
stamp.

JAPANESE INVASION. j"

TIE San Francisco Chronicle is pan

ed in large numbers, not only in Ha-
wall, but In the United States. These
men show clean bill of health and

They then return the money 20 the
company which loaned /. TO them and
go on their way rejoicing. But the
Chronicle points out that the danger is
not from the coolies alone. There have

young men and boys of higher native

with an eye upon the upper rounds of
the commercial ladder. In very
short time they ct themselves tor
posts as clerks, statesmen, agents, tele-
graphers. stenographers, merchants
and professional men.
We cannot see that there is anything
in this that would warrant the cry:
'The Japanese must co." yet that Is
the cry which the Chronicle declares
must be raised and raised at once TO
avoid future diplomatic troubles. 1t

Law Element In Cuba.

Cuba is just now exhibiting one Of
the first and worst effects of over
crowding in the cities. The shiftless.
dishonest and incapable have gathered
in and around Havana and Santiago
to be fed. clothed and supported by the
United States Government. So sure
are they that they are to be admitted
as a permanent pauper class and per-
mitted to live without work that they
have gone to the only pains and trou-
BILE they are likely to take in travelling
from the farms and plantations, many
miles away, in order to receive the
bread of charity from the power in
present control of the island, This is
a state of things to break up as quick
ly as possible The danger and null
sance that have been introduced into
parts of Cuba where difficulties enough
already existed, is one to reform
promptly and decisively-as decisively
as only military power can reform
1t, since the moral and legal force in
this case has a physical force given
to the law in no other form.
