A Chinese Trick to Avoid Exclusion

Chinese Trick to Avoid Exclusion
~ From the United States.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Chinese have a new scheme for getting
into the United States in spite of the ex-
clusion laws, according to a discovery
which has been made by the japanese con-
surs Office in Chicago. 1t was announced
yesterday by Chancellor Yoshito Komma of
the Chinese-Japanese consulate that sew
erai Chinese had clipped of their queues
and represented themselves as Japs. To
one who is not well acquainted with the
features of the two orientals the difference
between a Chinese without a queue and
Jap is so slight as to escape notice. This
similarity is said to have been taken ad-
vantage of by the Chinese repeatedly and
with great success to gain admission to
the United States.
The dress and other characteristics were
changed in accordance. The sacredness
with which all Chinese are said to regard
their queues had been instrumental in get
ting them past the inspectors when their
braids have been missing. Since the anti
queue Chinese have come into prominence
it has developed that many of these celes-
tials. not wishing to incur the wrath OF
their orthodox brethren, and thinking their
chances better for consideration at the
hands of Americans. have represented
themselves as Japanese Their hair Is
coarser than that Of the japanese. how
ever. and their features are quite different
to one familiar with both races.
There are comparatively few Japanese in
the United States. There are but 100 in
Chicago and many of them are students in
various schools. Several merchants and
foreign representatives are here, while from
one to dozen Japanese business men pass
through Chicago every day. There Is no
disposition on the part of the Japs to emil
CRATE to the United States as the Chinese
do. The japanese do not take kindly to
the sorts Of work to which the Chinese are
adapted. When they do remove to Amer
lea. however, the japanese take up Ameri-
can ways and make intelligent and pro-
gressiye citizens. This is said by Consul
Toshiro F'ujita. to be due to the fact that
the japanese are educated and bread-mind-
ed. Nearly all educated japanese have
knowledge Of English and government
documents and treaties are printed both in
japanese and English.

Taxes In European Cities.

>~sN-A -
People in the United States who ara
grumbling about high taxes should find
much consolation in the knowledge that
their property is not situated in any OF the
european capitals. In Berlin, for example.
the great American life insurance COM
panies are required to invest certain Dor
tion of their assets in city property, and
their taxes. which are no higher than those
OF other real estate owners. amount an
nually to more than one-thtrd of their re-.
ceipts from rentals In Vienna taxes are
even higher. The man who owns the build
ing in which the American legation is To-
Gated divides the rent with the government
In equal shares. The same rates prevail in
other large European cities. In addition to
this. the building regulations are rigid, and
make construction very expensive. and
every structure must be freproof with
stone staircases to the top floor double
walls, floors and roofs of steel and terra
Gotta. The front must correspond with the
adjoining buildings in height and archi-
tectural treatment. A poor man cannot
buflc home In any Of the European cities.
He must go into the suburbs. Hence most
OF the ground owned by individuals is
leased to building companies and capitalists.

GROW OLD GRACEFULLY.
Elizabeth Cady stanton. Aged So,
Offers Pertinent Advice.

Oners Pertinent Advice.
From the New York Sun.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton has been
writing on the subject Of how to grow old
easily. happily and gracefully. She is now
in her eighty-fifth year and she says life to
her is as sweet as ever. She has no pains
or aches, no regrets or forebodings for her
self: all her sorrows are for the troubles OF
others.
II attribute my vigorous old age in part
to advantageous circumstances" she says.
"in part to happy. hopeful temperament,
a keen sense OF humor. sympathies for all
my fellow beings and deep interest In all
the vital questions OF the hour. One must
have an earnest purpose in life beyond per-
sonal ambition and family ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Self-centered characters do not possess the
necessary elements Of a high development
If one would have happy old age the first
condition is a sound body; to that end exer-
else, diet. dress, sanitary conditions are all
important
Mature does her best at all periods of
womans life to make each change one OF
added health and happiness. Those obedi-
ent to her laws rejoice In every step from
youth to age. Fifty is the heyday OF intel
lectual life. Then the vital forces used in
reproduction are garnered In the brain, Civ
ing new ideas and adding force, clearness
and beauty to thought. There comes to a
woman eloquence of expression and she
finds a wider field for her sympathies. She
has new interests in the great world which
is the future home of her children. In which
she is now to labor to make IL fit for them
to live in. My philosophy is TO live In the
present. Regrets for the past vain:
the page is turned; there is remedy for
what is done. As TO the future anxieties
are equally vain: We do not know what one
day will bring forth; what We hope or fear
may never occur; the present is all that is
ours

FEW GOOD JUDGES OF CIGARS.

Quality Counts Little With the Aver
~ age Buyer. Says One Dealer.
From the New York Sun.
The man came in and asked for brand
of cigar that the cigar store proprietor
didn't have. But I've got something that's
practically the same smoke" the dealer
said, taking out box.
The man smiled wisely and indulgently
and went out again. and the dealer swore.
There are times" he said. when this
business makes you a trifle tired. Now, I'd
bet everything that I've got in the world
that that chap couldn't have told the cigar
Offered him from the brand he thinks he
wants II his life depended on it.
There are between million and a half
and two million brands Of cigars sold IN
this country and your average smoker
thinks that every brand means different
kind of tobacco. AS a matter Of fact, $50
Is an outside estimate of the different kinds
of tobacco that can be procured from all
sources. and even experts can't tell some
Of these apart.
LAS for the average smokers not half OF
them have any idea as to the quality of the
cigar they may be smoking. The vast ma
jority of tobacco users smoke with their
eyes and with their eyes only. The shape
or size or color of cigar strikes their fan
cy. 1t burns easily and they are contented.
At the same time these things have abso-
lutely nothing to do with the quality of a
cigar.
ITO get an Illustration of how smoking
is done with the eyes it is only necessary
to remember that very few blind men care
anything about smoking. In many cases
men who have gone blind after they have
been inveterate smokers for years cease to
care anything about smoking few weeks
after losing their sight, and soon give up
the use of tobacco altogether. So It 8 per-

concerned OF course an inveterate smoker
Of Havana cigars does not enjoy domestic
smoke, and there are men who really know
and appreciate fine tobacco. But in the run

replied the queen with laugh. But how

ordinary mortal?' The photograph turned
out a huge success. and Queen Wilhelmina
was delighted with it. "Oh! you have in
