:. hasn't any nerves, said he. What
DO YOU say about making a test"
at was agreed in a few minutes,
and the arrangements were made on
the spot. Our young nerveless
friend was to take his turn at a diff
fcult operation that very evening.
Accordingly. just before the APP
pointed time one Of the bravest Of
our set started for the operating
room. All was dark and still as he
crept under the operating table
upon which the dead body lay. 1t
should be explained that a wire had
been connected with the right arm
of the dead body and led down IN
der the table within easy reach Of
the concealed man. Pretty soon,
after what must have been an in
terminable wait for the man under
the table, our nerveless young mas
ter surgeon came into the room and
began his work. All at once our
leader pulled the wire, and the arm
shot up straight into the air about
two feet. Our friend glanced up a
moment, put it down and continued
his work as if nothing had happen
ed. After another half minute our
leader pulled the wire again. Again
the arm shot up as before, and again
our student friend put it down IN
place with the same air of perfect
unconcern, while he resumed his
work as before. Now, we who were
watching behind the door began to
get impatient, and SO did our leader
under the table. Next time he gave
the wire a tug that nearly parted it
from its fastenings, and this time
the arm shot straight over the bent
head of the young operator and
stayed there like an avenging spirit.
Our friend looked up from his work,
took hold of the hand, put the arm
back in its place and, with the all
of one completely absorbed in his
work, murmured:

Cheng. T was anxious to further ft iu the United States, and had written a memorial to the Emperor asking him to send me a commercial attache, but before my letter got to China I received one from the Board of Commerce asking me to have our consular officers report on all matters relating to our American trades and directing them to further that trade in every possible way"
 DO you send much to the United StatesT' I asked.
 ''Yes," replied the minister. ''We hava now about 10000 people here. and they an use Chinese goods. They want rice from China, shoes from China; they like Chi- nese cloths. Chinese tea and many other things Chinese. This trade has fallen or since the expulsion act was put in force, for we then had almost twice as many Chinese as we have now. Our merchants would like to see that trade increased, and they are also anxious to multiply their business connections in other ways
 At present I do not think we arc at all treated fairly, but just now we have had difficulties with other nations, and we are in no shape to insist upon our inter- national rights. hope that the day win come when we shall be able not only to demand them. but that in such a way that all the world will grant them"

SLEEP IS PRICELESS

 Methods. .-, -..

Methods. -...
 Are you a hard worker? Are you over come with fatigue at the end of each days labor, and instead of retiring to he'd with a feeling of satisfaction at the prospect of a nights repose. do you wait the hour of bedtime with dread and shrinking?
 every night, just after you have dropped of to sleep. by an intense, uncontrolla- ble itching of the rectum? Do you then endeayor to relieve the sensation by scratching so desperately that the skin becomes raw and laceraated, and you finally sink into the sleep of exhaustion?
 Is so. you do not need to be told that you are afflicted with itching piles. You have probably tried every remedy you could hear of, with but temporary relief, if any, and have concluded there was miserable existence. As a drowning man grasps at a straw so should you eagerly devour the words of W. O. Milbury, 70 Pearl St.. Reading, Mass.
 "I am pleased to state that bought one fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure at the drug store, and used about one-half of 1t, and 1t not only cured me of itching piles. but also of constipation, a trouble of about fifteen years standing. l have tried almost everything without any last ing benefit. but can honestly and truth fully state that Pyramid Pile Cure has entirely cured me. as have had no re- turn of that terrible itching, which used to keep me awake by the hour. night after night. If the old trouble should ever return I will know just what to do. but guess 1t won't for it Is now six or seven months since first used this won derful remedy.

trades unions. Indeed, we have put IeW unions devoted to regulating hours ana wages. There may be some at the treaty ports connected with the large factorles' Al Shanghai. for instance, the river for Ave miles is now lined with silk mills and cottsn factories. There labor IS some what organized notwithstanding most or the employees are girls. They are always ready to strike, and do so when they thlnk they are imposed upon. As factorles m, crease tn China, I suppose our labor will become organized and we shall have oun unions and walking delegates"
 How about labor on the railroadsE
 ''It is not the quIetest in the world, v replied the Chinese minister. The work" men there strike every now and then Just now there is a strike on the HanRoW, Canton Line which has stopped the con- struction."
 How the Americans Lost Q Gold
 Mine.
 ''That is on the concession granted to the American syndicate. How are the Americans handling their concessionT'
 T don't think they are handling 1t very we'll" replied the Chinese minister. Tt would have been a gold mine if they had held on to 1t, but understand that they have sold the control of the road for a comparatively small sum to Belgian capi- talists. That concession was a most val uasle onk. It was given to the American syndicatS largely in return for the great friendship which your country displayed towards China in the settlement or US difficulties with Japan. Different conces- sions in the way of loans and other things were made to Russia, Germany fTanco ana Eneland. The United States was the onlv nation which did not ask for any thITS and was at the same time about the u,ost friendly to China. As a result our people felt grateful and we were glad to Five your capitalists this concession with the authorization of a large loan to build

China to the United States, but in the end they kept him out.'
 ''Now his younger brother is here and in college. He came, with nine other Chinese boys, with me when was sent here as minister. He got in under the shadow of the legation. but he had per feet right, under the treaty and the law, to come in, and his brother should also have been admitted. know of many other instances where our boys who have wanted to study here have been kept out. Such things are contrary to the spirit of international fr1nedship which exists between your nation and ours and they are contrary to the best interests of the two nations"
 "The same policy is adopted as to ner- chants and business men who are kept out on similar pretexts. The present treaty under which these acts are per- formed, will expire this year. In mak- ing a new one hope to have the mat ter remedied. If 1t cannot be remedied there is no use of putting any clause as to the admission of my people in the treaty, and if so shall not advocate H.

In the future there will be a great de- mand for woolen goods for they will take the place of much of the paoded cotton now worn. There is also an increase in the use of American food stuffs and lux uries. We are buying more of your flour every year and more tobacco and other things"
 The Chinese Expulsion Law.
 The conversation here turned to the Chi- nese in America and asked the minister what he thought of our law as to the migration of Chinese.
 'T have but little objection to the law" said he. But do not like the spirit or manner in which 1t is executed. The law was made to exclude only Chinese la boring men from the United States, but 1t has been so construed as to keep out all Chinese, whether they came on busi- ness or on pleasure, as merchants, sight seers or students. I don't believe your government ever intended this. and blame the treatment which our nation receives from the politicians, who wish to curry favor thereby with the laboring classes and sake capital with them" Why. look at 1t" the Chinese minister
 went on. Tt is almost impossible for | one of our boys to come to the United States for an education. Take the case | of MT. Tong. a relative of Tong the
 graduate of Yale College whom you met
 in China some years ago. Young Tong's
 father Is rich and he wanted his boy to come here to study. He took out the proper papers and sent him to San Fran | cisco. When he arrived there officers
 asked him what he wanted to do in the | limited States. He replied that he was | anxious to learn English. They told him that there were colleges that taught Eng | fish in China. and he could go back there | and study the language. They refused | to let him land.

As it is now the Belgians have secured one Of the most valuable railroad properties of China. They have a large interest in the line from Hankow to Picking and this ex- tension gives them a great trunk line from Picking to Canton, tapping what is per haps the richest agricultural and indus- trial district of the world. inhabited by several hundred million people The road will pay from the start and regret that the Americans have allowed 1t to slip out of their hands"
 Are they working on 1t now, your ex- cellency?"

 But there is plenty of money in Chi na," said I. "why do not your own peo- pie build railroads7"
 ''They will do so when they understand them better. We have many rich and well-to-do and some are investing in banks and modern factories. Three fourths of the shares of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank are owned by Chi nese. Our people. however. are slow to adopt new inventions and new things"
 How about the Chinese market and American trader
 "our market is an enormous one," re- piled Sir Chentung Liang-Cheng. We are good spenders and our trade will increase as we grow richer and as the country develops It Is already increasing as far as America Is concerned. We are now taking about one-half of all the cotton cloth exported from the United States. D
 Could the trade be further increased?'
 ''Yes. We have 4OO,0OO.o 900 people and al- most all wear cotton. winter and summer.

 Washington, D. c.
 It was by appointment that met Sir chentung Liang-Cheng, the Chinese min lister. in the offices of his legation this af- ternoon. had arranged by telephone for an interview with his excellency and our talk was held in a room furnished in modern style, the minister sitting in a swivel back office chair before Grand Rapids roller-top desk. He was clad in Chinese costume, but he spoke in pure English and more like an American than like the representative of nation which many think to be thousand years be- hind the times.
 An Up-to-Date Diplomat.
 Sir Chentung ang-Cheng. himself is by no means behind the times. He is an up-to-date modern diplomat, fitted by education and experience to carry the world about in his big round celestial head. and to fight the diplomatic battles of his nation. He was born in China, but at the age of eleven was sent to the United States to be educated. He studied at Amherst for three years and then went to the Phillips Academy, at Andover.- where he graduated.
 Upon his return home he was taken into the employ of the government, which is another word for the old Empress Dowager and he has been in her majes- tvs employ ever since. He is said to be closely associated with her rnasjesty, and it is probably due to her appreciation or him that he has been at the front in Chinese affairs for the past twenty years. He came here first as secretary of the legation. returned to China to take place in the foreign ofiice. and became one of the embassy which made the peace treaty with Japan at the close of the war.
 Since then he has been connected with important missious to St. Petersburg, Berlin, London and Madrid. and has car ried off honors from all these capitals.
