Since the boxer uprising nothing has
happened to stir up the people Of China
50 much as the present agitation
against the United States. says Chez
Foo correspondent OF Leslie's Weekly.
This Is u commercial demonstration
made in view Of the renewal Of the
treaty between these two countries re-
garding the entrance and residence Of
Chinese subjects In the United States.
The present movement is one to boy
colt all American trade. all schools
conducted by Americans. and all
American employers In all the ports OF
China. II ranges from Singapore on
the south TO Tien-Tsin on the north.
and from Shanghai on the east coast
10 lchang In the west, thousand
miles up the Yangtse river. 1t Is most
v!ruIent at Canton and Shanghai. The
powerful Chinese merchant guilds are
pushing the matter. and as they have
branches In every port city Of China
they WELD considerable power. Even
the old Empress Dowager. who prob
ably had never spent a thought before
on the dis'icultics OF n Canton coole
entering the Golden Gate. has been led
to express her sympathy with her III
treated children"
The student class. who are much con
cerned In the treaty. have taken up the
movement eagerly. and as result one
mission school In Shanghai had 10
close Its doors. and several other larger
institutions were depleted Of large
aumber Of students because OF this boy
colt. Meetings are held to agitate the
subject. and placards are distributed

A Lesson From Henry Clay.


A we'll known southern politician
who died Just before the civil war not
infrequently spoke of an incident that
took place in his first term in congress,
In which he received Il lesson in state
craft from the great Wing leader,
Henry Clay.
Il was young man and an enthusi-
astic Wing" he said, land l entered
congress quivering with eagerncss to
serve my party and to distinguish my
self. l was on my feet shouting, Mr..
Speaker" dozen times day. 1 op-
posed even petty motions made by the
opposite party and bitterly denounced
every bill, however trivial, for which
it voted. Before the session was
half over had contrived to make my
self personally obnoxious TO every
Democrat that met

break on Il question of no moment 1

the one that gives a little at each joint?
1t does not snap and break at every
touch, but bends and shows its
strength only when a heavy weight is

The Guinea Worm.

The famous guinea worm Is an in
habitant of the tropical regions of
Asia and Africa, existing In ponds,
rivers and swamps. 1t penetratcs the
skin of any portion of the human body
without being felt and when once it
finds Judgment grows to an enormous
length. The body of the creature sell
dom exceeds in diameter that of Il
large pin. and it inhabits the flesh just
beneath the skin When full grown 1t
is not less than twelve feet in length
and in order to accommodate itself
must wind several times around the
legs or body. Should the guinea worm
find home under the human cuticle
and grow to Il large size there is dam
ger of modification setting in when.
the parasite bursts, as it is sure TO do
sooner or later. In order to guard
against an accident of this character
great care il exercised in extracting
the mwcIcomc intruder. The skin is
opened near one end of the creature
and the body pulled out and wrapped
around small round stick. This stick
Is turned very slowly for days, or even
weeks, until the entire worm has been
extracted.

Bessie studied the clear brown eyes

cry she buried her head upon his
