1t is explained that the Chinese empire,
or China proper, is composed Of eighteen
perfectly autonomous provinces, each of
which contains in turn well defined sub
divisions where the same autonomy pre-
walls The duty Of these subdivisions
toward the province consists solely in con-
tributing their quotas toward the provin-
cial expenses, and that relation Is the
only one that connects the province with
the empire. It existed millennium be-
fore Great Britain left barbarism, and yet
that same power insists upon converting
time -hallowed conditions with the stroke
Of the pen which signs a treaty!
The people, the toiling masses, three
fourths Of whom vegetate In a state Of
such abject poverty that they are salts
fed with earning enough to keep body
and soul together, contribute their in
Intestinal share Of the taxation without
nurmur, because their ancestors did the
same. Taxes are low in China. They
must be, where life Is SO strenuous; still,
the total is considerable, because there is
such number of them, and the Is per
cent, consisting Of the well to do and
wealthy classes are occasionally heeced to
make UP the deficit. All this has been
done for so many centuries that the people
are satisfied, and even the sufferers sub
nit quietly with the consolation that 1t
cannot be helped. Besides, most Of the
sufferers have in their family at least one
member who either is one of the shearers
or Will be at some time. That is, about
5 per cent of the male population belong
to the official class, either as incumbent
Of an Office Or as candidate. This rank

AnImoslty Of the Educated.

y
Of study and privation
AnInoslty Of the Educated.
Now comes Great Britain and, with one
stroke Of the pen, demands that this edu-
Gated class shall be deprived Of office,
shall lose the reward due to lifetime Of
self-restraint, and forego the opportunity
Of gaining honor and wealth. The very
idea must stir up, not only the most slug
gish OF the literati, but the members Of
every family to which they belong. Thus
the wealthy class; the class of employers,
is aroused; what more natural than that
its members Should excite the classes
whom they employ? Here, then, we have
for antagonist not weak and vacillating
government, but 426, 900, 600 people, three
fourths Of whom do not care whether they
live or die. @
The payment Of the monstrous indem-
nifty by which the Boxer disturbances
were condoned was divided among the
eighteen provinces, with Chinese Turke-
stan rendered liable for an tnconsiderable
share. This was a source of discomfort
because, low as the taxation Is, 1t Is as
much as the people are willing to pay.
The money, therefore, must chiefly come
from the perquisites Of the officials, and
they naturally protested. But-and this
was an innovation OF i'll omen-the protest
did not came from the Individual PROV
inces; the viceroys and governors made
common cause and Jointly signed a most
vigorous protest addressed to the throne

cealed murmurs.
a What the Viceroys Are Plotting. 49,. =
In the meanwhile Sir Robert Hart, the
commissioner Of the imperial maritime
customs, was placed in charge of the Chi
nese imperial post, and dispatched for
eigners to various places in the interior
to organize and take charge Of the serv-
ice. The mandarins and literati saw
herein a menace for their very existence
and Chang Chin tung and Liu K'un-yt,
the two powerful viceroys ruling together
over five populous provinces, and who had
been responsible for maintaining order in
the Yangtse Valley, wired a protest which
was nothing less than q direct threat.
Great Britain persisted, pointing to the
letter Of a treaty obtained under duress.
From that time, March, 1902, the sew
eral viceroys and governors have quietly
armed and drilled the people, and the
foreigners-except Russia and Japan
have been lul1ed into false security. When
the storm bursts, it will not be one or
two provinces that must be dealt with, but
an Infatuated and maddened people
aroused by their trusted leaders into an
agony Of racial hatred. " ',
Press dispatches tell of disturbances
here and there in the Yangtse valley, and

DEVILS The viceroys cannot consistently
prevent them owing to the. local autono-
my described before. but principally be
cause they are and are known to be, the
real leaders in the movement. These To-
cal demonstrations will have the one ef-
feet of melting the provincial authorities
to more strenuous efforts to- be prepared
to unmask their batteries when they deem
the time ripe. =. s. -

CHEAP And PRETTY SPRING COATS FOR CHILDREN

u PRETTY, stylish child's coat when
~ bought in the shops is an expen-
sive affair, often costing as much
as a grownup persons jacket. Half. IL
not more. of the expense is saved when
the wrap is made at home, and if a re-
liable pattern is followed the result
will be quite as satisfactory. Almost
every child looks we'll in the long loose,
sack coat SO generally worn. The three
attractive little coats illustrated are
cut in that shape and are models of
what the smartiy dressed child will
wear in the spring.
The blue lightweight kersey coat is
pretty and dainty. with its wide collar
and revers OF white appliqued cloth A
jacket made entirely OF the blue cloth
would be much cheaper and more serv-
iceable without the white facings
Large pearl buttons may be used in
place Of TIE frogs which decorate the
fronts. These frogs have an unfortu-
nate habit OF wearing out quickly and.
besides. ara rather expensive.
The green cloth wrap is very simple
