Cltiua's Decadence.

The great cause of China's decad-
ence is the failure TO get the right men
to shepherd the people. There are
only three paths which our dynasty
has opened to Office. The first is ex-
animation. the second recommendation
and the third is purchase. Those who
enter by examination are entirely ig-
norant OF law and taxation and the
principles OF government. Hence they
are at the mercy Of secretaries and
clerks whose life business 1t Is to man
age things for successive officials.
Hence abuses galore are inevitable. As
to those recommended. they are most
ly put forward for unworthy motives.
and not on account of their fitness for
the posts. The purchasers OF ONCE
are worse still. for in their case the
only question asked is the length of
their purse. The really able men 1.-THE
village Cromwells) are left to waste
their sweetness on the desert air. The
actual incumbents of the shepherds
Office have neither ability nor knowl-
edge. Each of them is anxious TO
make his pile of snowy metal for his
family and descent's sake.-The Su

The Charm of Youth.

which youth. as well as age. may pos

skin Deep" is daily proved by the
superior charm which genuine beauty
of character exerts on the most trivial
minded of individuals.
No young woman can afford to be
bluff and careless in her treatment of
the world. In the old days of the
Colonial times. manual work was more
necessary than exact culture. but they
have passed. The maker of dough
nuts and dumplings was a more impor-
tant factor in the society of n 100
years ago than the skilful teacher or
worker in any skilled field of today.
Women did not have time to be proper

An Original Iden.

Truly. woman has an inventive
brain. and in nothing does she show 1t
more than in the ways that suggest
themselves to her of earning money"
said woman recently. II was told
the other day of girl. anxious to
turn an honest penny, who announced
that any one giving her the name and
address of an engaged girl would re-
ceive three pence, When she had COL
lected a goodly number OF names of
prospective brides she took them to
various shops. diapers. shoemakers. Ia
dies outfitters. milliners and so on.
and bargained for so much for each
address. The shop people gave her
certain sum-how much do not know
and then dispatched their catalog-
ues to the future wife. who. doubt
not. was extremely astonished at the
publicity her engagement enjoyed.
Whether the venture was q lasting
success l have not ascertainei. but Of
the originality of the idea there can
be no question. New York Tribune.
