As there are 52.OOO,OOO square miles

CAN'T IND WONT.

The news comes from Pekin that the
Chinese government has formally noti-
fled Russia that China is not able to
sign the Manchurian convention The
reason given is that however much
China might be willing to grant any
special privilege to one power, when
Others object it is impossible that for
the sake of making one nation friend
ly she should ALLEVIATE the sympathies
of all others.
This seems to be good reasoning for
China, although perhaps it will not
strike Russia as conclusive. Ii Hung
Chang, it is said, has been firmly in
favor of Russia throughout the whole
business, and the talk is that he has
left or will leave Pekin and that the
emperor is displeased with him. The
willy old fellow has been accused of be-
ing In the pay of Russia, and he has
certainly been friendly to her. ut is to
be hoped that we shall not have to read
that he has lost his yellow jacket and
peacock feather again. He is an old
man, Wand 1t would be cruel. to take
those ornaments away from him again.

PROFESSOR,

There is encouragement for negroes
and professors In some remarks of a
southern gentleman who lives in Tus-
kegee, where the school of which
Booker T. Washington is the head is.
This gentleman said to reporter that
he had known the school and it's head
for twenty years, ana all he knew
about both was good. He added. In
my opinion he has the best school in
the country, black or white. At most
Of our white colleges, as far as can
see, big percentage of the boys spend
their time learning how to wear their
hair long and play football, and smoke
cigarettes, and spend their daddies'
money. We don't have any such non
sense here. They are all busy doing
useful work. Both teachers and stu
dents are orderly and we'll behaved.
They don't try to make white people
get off the sidewalk, and they get more
of the sidewalk than those who do try.
We have never had case from there
in our Police court. They go right to
work and make an honest living when
they leave the school, And then this
apparently sensible and appreciative
southern gentleman said: Nov, when
/ meet the man who has done all this,
can't cali him Booker like l Would
an ordinary niger, but, by thunder!
I can't call niger Mr., so ] just say
Professor -
This Is an ingenious compromise, and
the southern gentleman who invented
it deserves to have the fact recorded in
his biography.

cellular action and disaggregation Of
the brain Also interesting is the re-
education OF the man to the impress
sions made during seventeen years and
now lying dormant; the study of his
dreams. the dsassociation of the past
from present Impressions and their
eventual combination. All OF these fur
nlsh much material for study and OBJ
servation. The method Of treating the
case which am following is purely one
of suggestion. This consists of gradu-
ally separating him from any impress
slons that have been left upon his brain
by the loss of memory, working back
to the time preceding it and then bring
Ing his ideas slowly UP to the present
time. There is no hypnotic influence or
anything of that sort used In connec-
ton with the treatment. 1t Is all dome

lieve it will lead to his ideas being

RICHNESS.

Everybody isn't getting rich beyond
the dreams of avarice, but there are
riches in this country beyond those
dreams. The Comptroller of the Cur
repcy has just published his compila-
tion of all the bank statements, under
the call of February. AS compared
with the same date in 1897 the aggre-
gate loans of the national banks have
increased very nearly thousand mill
lion dollars; an expansion of fifty per
cent. in four years. Deposits have
simultaneously increased more than
eight hundred million dollars, and cash
held in reserve by s1s2,ooo,ooo. And
that the expansion is not yet overdone
is indicated by the fact that the aver
age ratio of reserves to deposits in all
American national banks, which was
341s per cent. in 1897, has fallen in the
subsequent expansion of liabilities on
ly to 29B per cent, which is consider
ably over legal requirements.
Here's richness, and there's more in
sight. There will, we suppose, come a
time when Expansion" will stop. I'm
til then let us eat, drink and be merry,
and congratulate ourselves and each
other on our growing prosperity.

NOT SO YERY POOR.

plus in her budget sheet for last year.

in 1900-1901, but every other source of
income increased, opium in par
ticu1ar showing gain Of $780,
000 The regular military expenses
We're less than usual, owing to
the fact that the troops sent
to China had to be paid by the British
treasury. There was, on the whole a
surplus of G1,640,0O0, and another is ex-
pected for the coming year Of e691, 900
Sir Edward Law, the new Minister of
Finance, lays much stress upon these
facts, as showing the recuperative pow
err of Indian finance. The whole en-
pire has prospered. though sections of
it have been visited with most severe
disasters, the losses in one part hav-
ing been more than met by the prosper
ity of others. The totals are so large
that the percentage of loss is compare
lively small. The government has now
q total gold reserve of a7,757000 This
fact Is quoted as evidence Of the sue
cess Of the new standard. 1t certain
ly refutes the prediction that the gold
coins would disappear as soon as they
were issued.

The maiden's brow was clouded
With an anxious lock Of care.
And bitter grief enshrouded
Her face so woIdrous fair.
Her eyes, in whose depths were lying
Deep wells Of love and truth,
Had look as il hope We're dying.
Like saddening dream Of youth;
A faraway look, like the pilgrim,
When daylight and darkness blend,
Who strives through the mists Of the val
ley
To witness his journeys end.
Torn was her heart with anguish
And sorrow, that naught could dispel,
Like the storms that heat on the seashore,
Or the moan of a funeral bell
Is there no balm for the healing
OF a heart thus sorely depressed?
No sunshine to Tighten the shadows
And soothe the spirit to rest?
For the maiden vainly endeavored
The problem TO solve as she SAT,
How to trim her last winters bonnet
To make her an Easter hat.

When work was begun by the War
department on the defences of the low
err Mississippi, eighty miles below New
Orleans, it was pointed out that the
entire region was underlaid by quick
sands, silt and soft shells to an I'M
known depth, and that under such con-
ditions a solid platform for great guns
could not be obtained. But the engi-
neers went on and drove piles, built
masonry emplacements and installed
batteries of disappearing guns at Forts
Jackson and st. Philip. Tests of this
heavy ordnance have demonstrated re-
Gently the unsuitability of the foun-
dations, and the work must be done
all over again, unless parapet guns of
lighter calibre shall be installed. In
any event, the cumbersome and COM
pick disappearing plants will be useless.

The consumption of ice in Brazil Is
constantly increasing. This is due prin-'
cipally to the demand for ice in restau-
rants, hotels and other public places.
Foreigners are most insistent in their
calls for ice. Our consul at Santos
is of the opinion that an ice company
would prove a profitable undertaking
IN that place, the use Of ice being prac-
tically unknown in the fish, vegetable
and meat markets. He also thinks the
American refrigerator would sell well
in Brazil.
