The "Sin Wan Pao" complains that
The higher and lower ranks of Chinese
ofiicialdom have little intercourse and
hence are not mutually helpful. But
Chang Chih-tung and Tuan Fang, Of
Hupeh. have devised an excellent plan
10 overcome this difficulty. Formerly
an subordinates consumed much time
in calling upon their'superiors at their
vamens eacn 1st and 18th of each
month. In Wucbang they have now
arranged one central meeting place
for subordinates ard superio-s, with
six fixed days a me 9TH for a general
assemblage of ofiicisis. This plan
somewhat resembles lhe western par
lament, for the officials come together
and discuss public business. japan has
had the same idea, and her officials
come together regularly at one meet
ing place for uutual counsel and help.

IT'S an all wind that blows nobody

It's an all wind that blows nobody
any good. Thrifty Mr.. Rockefeller's
Standard OIL monopoly has been prompt
to take advantage of the increased de.
mand for oil owing to the coal famine,
to extract a few ducts out Of the oil
consuming public. 1t has advanced
the price of kerosene 30 per cent within
two months, making total increase of
80 per cent In year. This is in the
face of q vastly increased production of
crude oil and a lower price for the pro.
duct of the wells. Many householders,
says a Chicago dispatch, frightened by
"famine prices" of hard coal, due to the
strike, began to put in oil heating plants
and to contract for winters supply
of the liquid fuel. The price was i'm
mediately raised from 71s cents to 81.
The price was then raised to 8 cents.
Instead of SO for so gallon barrel, con
sumers must now pay $3.50. 1t may
be well to bear In mind, by the way,
that the oil monopoly is protected by
the Dingley tariff in much the same
"sneaking' way that, as Secretary
Moody declared, anthracite is protected
from forign competition -Ex.

The wrath of the Bee,

At the end of winter most hives have
exhausted their stores and become
dangerous. When this is the case, woe
to him who touches the hives. Smoke
has lost its spell, and you shall scarce
have emitted the first puffs before
10000 acrid and enraged demons will
dart from within the walls, overwhelm
your hands, blind your eyes and black
en- your face. No living being except,
they say, the bear and the sphinx afro
pos. can resist the rage of the mailed
leglons. Above all, do not struggle.
The fury would oyertake the neighbor-
ing colonies. There is no means of
safety other than instant flight through
the bushes. The bee is less rancorous,
less implacable. than the wasp and
rarely pursues her enemy. If fight be
impossible. absolute immobllity alone
might calm her or put her off the scent.
She fears and attacks any too sudden
movement. but ut once forgiyes that
which no longer stirs.-Harper's.

Soft Coal and Clean Flues


The tendency of pipes and furnace

THE sAuERKRAuT PEDDLER


A Character Common to the German
Section of New York.
The regular and popular visitor 10
the German inns and taverns of the
east side is the sauerkraut man. lie
brings his calling with him from the
T, old country and finds more profitable
field In New York than in Berlin or
Hamburg. His equipment is quite cu-
rious. He wears blue or White apron
running from his neck nearly 10 the
ankles, and from his shoulders is sils-
pended Il circular metal box which
goes half around his waist. 1t has
three large compartments, two of
which are surrounded by hot water
In one are well cooked frankfurter
sausages and in the other thoroughly
boiled sauerkrap.. In the third COM
partmant is potato salad. He carries in
his hand basket IN which are small
plates and steel forks. One sausage
and a generous spoonful of sauerkraut
and potato salad cost 5 cents. All three
articles are of good quality, well
cooked and seasoned. He finds his best
custopers in the bowling alleys, where
the exertion demanded by the game
produces large appetites. Next to these
are the tayerns which do not supply
food with their drink. Last of all are
the halls and meeting rooms where
different societies assemble. His night
ly stock consists of fifty sausages, sew
en- pounds of sauerkraut and as much
more Of salad. On bad evenings he
takes only half IS much stock us on
fair ones. Some of the more fortunate
peddlers have arrangements with clubs
which pay them very fair profit upon
their goods. Others are free lances
who visit every place where they think
they can effect sale.
The metal boxes are very ingenious
and are made in Germany. The metal
is some variety of pewter, and the
fitting of the compartments and of the
entire affair to the body is y9ry ac-
curate. The covers are so well hinged
and snug at the edges that when the
owner falls down he is not liable to
spill any of the contents. The con.
trivance costs some So in Germany,
and about So in New York. A few of
the peddlers appeal to educated pal.
ates and carry with them cervelat,
book, reh. leberwurst and vienna,
as well as frankfurters. These fancy
sausages usually bring 10 cents instead
of the regulation ..
The forks are washed after the Gus.

publicists who have been magnifying
the United States as a newborn 1world
power"-as something quite different
from the country of six or seven years
ago and something very much greater
and more glorious In the eyes of n.an-
kind.
the plain truth is that We have been
world power for many years.
In an important sense, and the best
sense, We have been the greatest of
world powers, because our example as a
self governing republic has wrought q
great political transformation through
out not Christendom merely but the
world.
AT any rate our example has been the
most powerful of all the influences
which have forced absolute monarchs
to accept parliamentary governments
responsible to the people and which
have made more than this hemisphere
essentially republican.
If we have been transformed at all it
is the temporary abandonment of the
principles of representative government
on which our constitution is founded
and the adoption of the principle of alb.
solutism in the Philippines that has
transformed us.
This transformation has not contrib
uted at all toward making us world
power in any sense of the word. In SO
far as we have been transformed In this
wise the force of our example has been
destroyed.
Those who proclaim to the world that
we have been transformed. whether the
proclamation is true or false, place us
in the position of admitting that the re
publican principle is one of merely local
application.
That is to say, they take all the force
all the life, out of our republican propa
ganda.
! What is more, when under the only
new policy growing out of the war with
Spain we conquer remote peoples anC
subject them to our arbitrary rule
denying to them the right of self-gov-
ernment, We at once excite the fears OF
weaker peoples, especially those withir
the immediate sphere of our influence
and infiame the Jealousy and enmity OF
the powerful nations which are ambi
tious of territorial aggrsndizement.
