The significant feature OF this
sweeping change Is the fact that the
Manchus rather like It. These nomad
Tartars never had much sympathy for
the fossilized conservatism and absurd
ceremonialism that seem so dear to the
Chinaman. Their independent spirits
revolted against the AFFECT kowtow de-
manded by every petty Chinese official.

British Concentration.

Kitchener's demand for $4,000 more
men ready for immediate service in
South Africa is interpreted by semi
official army and navy journals as
equivalent to resort to CONSUMPTION.
The decline OF volunteering, the
worthlessness of city riffraff for mill

contingent whence the new and urg-

The percentage Of foreigners in va
rious states is the subject of frequent
comment, and often the cause of
gloomy forebodings in regard to the
future of the country. 1t is rather
surprising to find that among the very
large alien population OF New York
and New Jersey the ratio of ilIiteracy
is comparatively small. In both states
the number of foreign-born hut
naturalized citizens who cannot read
and write is less than seven per cent
Even among those who have taken
out only their first papers"-and this
they can do as soon as they land In
the United States-the number Of H.
hterates is only about twelve per cent
The ability to read and write Ia no
guarantee that man will be a good
citizen, but it is at least a presump-
ton that he will be better one than
the man who cannot.

They find that they can speak freely
and informally to Russian officials. and
they appreciate the difference. The
Russians also are developing the mines
and industries Of the country with
amazing energy, and have brought
prosperity In their train. Tartars who
formerly worked for 81 month now
can earn so cents, or even 81. a day.
The Russians do not trouble the ma
tives with any sanitary or social re-
forms, and their ideas conflict with
none Of the ancient prejudices Of the
Mongols.
The net result Is that the Manchus
IRE fairly reconciled to Muscoglts rule.

quest have awaited to annsx tn 8 new

than eight hundred patents were TAX

1888 the industries connected with the
utilization of coal-tar-a former waste
