Chinese minister, said:

country nearly six years, and, al
though people think it is not pro-

that are new to me. China is pro-
crossing, it being such a large coun-
try, with such a large population
and with people educated and
brought up in such a conservative
way, you can not, although the idea
of reform is taking root, expect it to
make sudden and radical change
as you might think possible in a
smaller country; but nevertheless
China has made reasonable reforms
in many ways within the last few
years. Her commerce will develop
and will be increased with that of
this country. The Pacific coast, in
particular, would reap a large har-
vest by having a larger trade with
China"

"The only difficulty now in the

Charles II. Farms worth of that dis
trict this morning, lis the scarcity
of cars for transporting their
products.
Mr.. Farnsworth says that the
farmers in the vicinity of Palouse
City figure that their land with the
enormous crops produced this sea
son pays them better than 10 per
cent interest at $40 per acre.
With scarcely an exception, the
farmers who have realized a good
profit are investing their money in
farm lands, paying as high as and
even to exceed $50 per acre.
Many fields average 40 bushels of
wheat to the acre, while oats run
between rs and 80 bushels.
Wheat is selling very readily at
60 cents per bushel and oats at 81
per 100 pounds.

BOSTON, Nov. 27.-The yacht
Meteor ILL.,, which was built for the
emperor of Germany at the HERE
shoff yards, has been considerably
criticized by yachtsmen in England
at her seeming want Of success
during the short time she was in
commission this season.
1t is apparent, however, to any
one who has followed the recent
racing that the showing of the
Meteor is by no means behind what
was expected of her. 1t must be
remembered that the Meteor has
always had to sail under handicap
varying from one to four hours and
also that she has not yet been test
ed in a stiff breeze.

Find myself peaceful eddy, and 1 stay

See the bubbles that have troubles as they

To destruction on the shores; some are
dashed

And the bubble that is great
Oft is whlrled around forever in some dark,
secluded pool,
While there's many a little fool
OF a bubble that goes floating smoothly
All, the bubbles are but men-some are
tossed
Fiereely out against Instructions and are
lost,
Some are cast
In the stream where all is clear,
And at last.

Far away from where It started forth or
not,

No Old Maids in Russia.

In Russia the idea prevails that
single life is disgrace to women, so
there are no old maids except in the
religious orders, says writer in the
Pittsburg Dispatch. If the parents
cannot arrange marriage for the
daughter she makes journey, and is
thus lost to the gossiping community.
Soon reports are circulated of her
marriage to a foreigner. Long alb
sence brings forgetfulness, so that
when the story is told of the death of
the foreign husband in a strange land
there are few who care to inquire
further. Indeed, it is breach of ETH
quette to suggest doubts under such
circumstances, and the woman finally
returns as a broken-hearted widow.
She has met the conditions of the coun-
try, and she is no longer single per-
son in society. Thus the fiction of "no
unmarried woman" is preserved in the
domain of the car.
