to be placed on Judge Vinsonhalers

who remember how Vinsonhaler signed
written stipulation TO get his own
nomination and then brazenly tried to
deny his own signature.

build bridges to last for at least several

money to have every creek spannod with
solid masonry, but If such policy were
adopted the bridge and road funds would
no longer be such easy marks. thor

King Alfonso OF Spain, unless reports
do him injustice, on occasion acts like
an unbroken colt. While in Cabadonga
receatly the bishop showed him some
sacred relics In the cathedral there. His
majesty referred to them as nonsense"

evening the king slipped away from the
palace disguised as a laborer. and at

dancing, drinking and flirting, and came
back about daylight half intoxicated. In
reply to the demonstrations OF his alarmed
mother he told her to mind her own bust
ness and respect his authority like his

tinuing her protest, he threatened TO have
her elected from the palace. Just then
arrived his father confessor. in whom he
has great confidence. and his tipsy majesty

The new Chinese minister Of France, Iiu
She-Shun has been talking freely about the
future policy Of China TO a French Journal
list. Doubtless. he said, the Chinese are
about to Europeanize themselves. The EN-
press Is resolved to facilitate European en-
terprises in China, and the emperor Is not
likely to oppose them when he reigns alone.
AS to the so-calied yellow peril and the
millions of soldiers whom China could arm,
he remarked that many are apt to forget
the pacific character OF the Chinese. In a
few years China will have an army and
navy reorganized on European lines. but for
purely defensive purposes. AS to the ru-
mors that Japan is resolved to miltarlze
China, and has filled that country with in
structors and even agitators, he character
ICED them as newspaper inventions and ex-
aggerations. Japan and China, he pointed
out, are different countries. The Chinese
will Europeanize themselves independently
OF japanese influence. They are sending
students to Europe. who, when matured by
experience, will become the advisers of the
crown. There are fifty in France fifty in
Germany. 100 In Belgium, seventy In Lon
don, and ten in Austria. Mr. Liu She-Shun
is convinced that in the near future all
China will be opened up to foreigners but
the latter, he says, will have to be amena-
BILE to the laws of the country, which will
be remodelled upon the European pattern.
In the new China foreigners would have
to abandon the privileges Of ex-territorial-
ity, which they had enjoyed for so long.
The defense plans which are to be laid
before the Belgian parliament, and which
involve an expenditure of S21,6)O0OO for
fortihcstions which are to make Ant
werp impregnable from, naval attack. will
strike many observers of contemporary
European history as peculiarly futile. In
the present state of national development
the position of a small state which has
for nelghbors one or more larger ones
is at the best precarious. II must in the
nature of things owe it's security not TO its
own powers OF defense. but to the protec-
ton OF one or another OF its neighbors,
the interest Of which may best be served
by checking the schemes OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of other great powers" This is particu-
larly the case with Belgium, which could
do almost nothing TO prevent the forcible
absorption of its territory by France or
Germany, or the destruction of its trade
and the ravaging of its coasts by the
British, provided the aggressor were given
a free hand and unhampered by the in
reference Of the others.

A correspondent Of the London Standard,
writing from johannesburg, gives an opti-
mistic account Of the Chinese and native
labor situation on the Rand. According to
him, at the end of August there were
100000 natives and H,G0O Chinese employed
in the gold mines, and application had been
made for 1850 more Chinese and 1900 ma
tives, the latter not being procurable. The
amount of white labor at the end of May.
1904, was 1927; at the end OF August, 1895,
1t was l7,429. The general revenue, railway,
customs and receipts from coal and explo-
sives show a large and continued increase,
he says, since the arrival OF the Chinese.
The Chinese as workers are fully equal 70
the natives. he declares and superior to
them in physique; the mortality among
them is under twenty per thousand, the
sickness under per cent. while crime is ex-
traordinarily low compared with that Of
other nationalities; 30 per cent OF the con-
victions being for technical offenses under
the Chinese labor ordinance He denies
that there is any state of terror on the
Rand. The vast majority Of the Chinese
coolies, he says, are lawabiding, inoffen-
sive and thoroughly contented. The crimes
of violence committed by them, he adds.
have been very few and would not have
been even mentioned in the English press IL
they had been the work of natives.
There are some famous smokers in Eu-
rope, but perhaps none equal an Austrian
and a Hollander, both now deceased. An
old man who died in Vienna kept q record
OF his smoking since he was e years old.
In forty-fve years he smoked no fewer
than etS,719 cigars, or 1891 a year, giving
an average of thirty-eight a day. Out Of
this gigantic total 4s 500 were given him at
various times, leaving 5S5 aS. which. al
though this Austrian devotee at the shrine
of my Lady Nicotine never paid more than
a penny for each one, cost nearly e2,5O0.
But even this marvellous record is beaten
by that of Mynheer van Klaes, known by
the nickname of king of the Smokers -
He was 81 at the time OF his decease, and
sometimes smoked as much as ten pounds
Of tobacco in a week. How strong with
him was the ruling passion in death was
shown by his funeral. At his express de-
sire he was placed in a coffin lined with
the wood OF old cigar boxes. BY his side
were laid his favorite china bowled pipe, a
box Of matches, flint. steel and finder.
Around his grave was gathered a circle
of Rotterdam smokers, each with his pipe,
from which, at the words. Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust" he shook the ashes onto the
coffin lid. To each OF these mourners the
deceased left ten pounds OF tobacco and
two pipes bearing his arms.
