BIGNEss or PHILLIPS BROOKS.

At the height of the busy holiday season, only few days before Christ mas, some years ago, a large man stopped at a counter in one of the pig stores in Boston to make a purchase. As he stood waiting for his parcel in the hustling, hurrying crowd, above which he lowered head and shoulders, a poorly dressed little girl came wan dering by, crying bitterly. Turning quickly, the tall man stopped down and asked her what the trouble was

 Without a moments hesitation he gently picked her up. and raising her carefully to his shoulder, said: 'sNow, 1 am a very big man. You sit on my shoulder and you can see everybody in the room. In a few minutes you will either see your mamma, or she will see you.''
 Sure enough, in a short time the lit tie one joyfully called out, "There's my mammav' and at the same moment a small shabby woman came hurried ly pushing through the crowd toward them.

 She reached up her arms and took the child, and with kindly smile Phillips Brooks picked up his parcel and walked away.-Franklin B. Wiley i'll the Ladies' Home Journal.

WOULDN'T USE THE VASE

Prof Wurtz addressed the Kent de- batting society of Yale law school Monday night and among some spi- cy stories told of an incident that hap pened when he was in the south, where a typical southern gentleman appeared in his office one afternoon in search of advice. The attorney was in search of cash. The gentleman had the cash; the attorney could fur nish the advice.

THE CHINESE POLICY.

First Week at Picking Throws Iht-
 tie Light on the Subject.
 PEKING, Jan. 15.-The first week of the rehabilitation of the Chinese court and of it's resumption of authori- ty at the capital has been period of the most intense interest for all classes of Chinese and foreigners. Put the week has hardly sufficed to furnish proofs from which deductions regard dng the policy of the empress doWager under the new conditions can be drawn. That the empress dowager gov erns as absolutely as before the at tempt to crush progress, that she rec ognizes that foreign interests and opinions must be respected, is ap- parent. That considerations other than the fear inspired by the evidence of foreign dominance actuate her will con- tinue to be questioned by the Chinese officials nearest the throne and by for eigners unless time proves the con- trary.
 Two powers are gaining ascendency in the council of the empress dowager. The first of these is Yuan Shi Kai, who IS pro-foreign to the extent of appre- ciating the strength of foreign nations and the necessity for China's adoption of the instruments by which such strength was attained. The second power is Yung Lu, the imperial treas urer, who is the most influential among the advisers of the empress dowager, who is literally hostile to foreigners, but who is temporarily inn pressed with the advisability of con- ciliating them. Yuan Shi Kai, the gov al.nor of Chili province, having 10000 or 12,OO0 of the best troops in China in and about the capital, is the parsonage the empress dowager must consider.
 It has not yet appeared that the mod ernization of the court is more than skin deep. All the old methods of cor ruption and intrigue for office, the pur- chase of favors and bribery to secure audfeJees have been resumed with a igor indicating that officialdom is try Ing to make up for lost time,
