''China in Commission" is the topic of
thoughtful and suggestive leader in The Spec
tafor." of London, the gist Of which is that the
enlightened powers Of Europe and America are
more and more assuming certain guardian
ship over China and other nations which. if not
exactly dying nations" in Lord Salisbury's
mordant phrase, are certainly less virile and
self-reliant than those which are so largely be-
coming their administrators. Turkey and
Egypt have long been thus semi-subiect to con-
troll by alien commissions. Persia and Siam
seem doomed TO the same fate the Balkan
States are entering upon it, and China is IN
doubtedly upon the ragged edge of il, while
The Spectator goes to the length-which we
must regard extreme and chimerical-of pre-
dieting the same end. at the hands of the United
States for the States of Central and South
America.
Beyond doubt China is TO considerable ex-
tent thus In commission But there is an
other ard quite different meaning to that phrase
which may be almost equally applicable to that
empire We mean the significance Of it as ap-
piled 10 a warship ready for active service Not
vet is China thus puissantly-p perhaps menacing-
ly-in commission. But there is a possibility
that she Will presently become SO. and that in
the very act Of putting her in commission in
the passive sense we may rouse her TO put her
self lin commission in the active sense We
have of late been giving China some instructive
examples Of civilized militarism. There are no
people on earth more readily and effectively imi-
fatiye than the Chinese Suppose they should
suddenly begin TO adopt European and Ameri-
can ways and means. as Japan has done? Some
people have regarded Japan as peril to Occi-
dental civilization. An awakened China would
be equal TO ten Japans-
That is one Of the major points which as it
seems, should be conspicuous in ali considera-
tons Of the Chinese question The awakening
of China would in any case be Of tremendous
significance to the world. If it were confined to
industry and commerce, it might revolutionize
the trade Of the world. II 1t were militant II
might confront the rest of the world with i'm
measurable menace. There is, Of course, DO
profit or fitness in hackneyed references 10
Frankenstein. The Occidental world has not
created China either through idle curiosity OF
through malice, nor has it needlessly provoked
the Chinese awakening which seems to have

The craze for alligator skins dur ing the past twelve years came very near making that hideous reptile as dead as the dodo. When a large animal brought 8 in the open market every lazy darky down South who lived within ten miles of pool or bayou was out after 'gater' from dawn to dusky eve. They killed so many that the market was flooded after time. and then the prise began to fall. It has gone down stead ily and the latest adviees from the Lou isiara bayous and the Florida swamps give 50 cents for the raw hide of saul rian of more than ten feet in length, and only 25 cents for a chicken ''gater." !" This hardly pays for their killing, and tho supply is running down in consequence. The alligator has now chance for his life, and in many districts is increasing in numbers perceptibly.
 On the other hand, the. snake family is experiencing great hardships. A dealer in fine snake skins said: There Is a steady demand for the more beautiful kinds which we are never quite able to fill Some varieties are so popular that they bring ridaculously high prices. The
