| But It's Goo that hast bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.

the Chinese government would ma iit- tie success in trying to force a different attitude on the boycott on America, even if the government were anxious to appease this country, which just at the moment seems rather uncertain thing As MT.

 The Chinese gilds are ancient, the Chinese boycott likewise old. There are varieties ef gilds; some mere trusts;

Half the great city departments are headed by utterly unfit men-men known to be unfit by the meanest intelligence. The city suffers from this; yet Mcclellan is personally popular and is hailed as a good mayor.

ANTI-TIPPING LAW.
Fifth Avenue Buffers and Harlem
 Janitors Hard Hit.


 New York. Sept 1--.When the Sake anti-tipping law goes into effect to-day some very prosperous employees will groan at the cutting down Of tnelr revenues, especially grafting buffers, uBrehasing agents and janitors. The law introduced by Senator Martin Saxe makes it misdemeanor to Tee servant with intent to bribe.
 Nevertheless. 1t remains all right to tip a waiter for dinner well served, a Pullman porter for satisfactory brushing, or to give purchasing agent a Christmas present The new law will not help the restaurant pa- tron. who sees the tipping standard raised each year.
 The chief offenders aimed at by the saxe law are the friends of purchas- inp agents. who represent large enter prises. When contracts are to be let willy. salesman will offer large tips to attract purchaser.
 The buffers in the great establish ments on Fifth avenue have made ire mendous sums from grocers, butchers, harness makers, florists and others catering to expensive trade.
 On the west side and in Harlem jan itors reap a harvest from neighboring storekeepers by insisting on bribe to ! send trade in their direction. There have been cases where janitors have refused to let the goods of outside storekeepers go up the dufnbwaitet unless something was paid in advance

GETTING AWAY FROM COUNTER

The oulckest way to get away from the counter is to work hard, he polite and obIIging at the counter. The tTou- ble with people who complain that they cannot get above the positions they are fin is that they cannot see that the step to the thing above them Is in the thing they are doing. in their man ner of doing it. that the opportunity for advancement is in the promptness. inc tborouahness, the efficiency they show in the positions they now occu- py.
 Of two clerks working side oy slne fin a store. one knows tRat the best part of his salary is not found Tn his nav envelope. but fin the opportunity to learn the business. to extract from if the secrets which his employer may have paid a fortune for. besides put ting his life into it. He Is all eyes. aH ears. all the time thinking of better methods. improved ways of doing things. and Le finally becomes pro prietor himself. The other sees noth- ing in his work but drudgery and a perpetual clerkship.

system. The Century Dictionary states the word was introduced in Ire land in 1880, and soon became (like the practice) common throughout the Eng fish speaking world. But it seems the Chinamen, who appear to have known thousand or two years be- fore most peoples, had willy knowledge of the system long, long ago)
 Mir. Bonsal tells of a happening in China a short time since. when mer- chants and officials came in clash in the province of Swatow. The viceroy and his associates put on an extra transit tax and sent forth an army of collectors throughout the land. The gilds objected to the increase of tax, and established a boycott against the unwelcome col lectors, pursued a policy so rigid the collectors were not admitted to inter course with the dealers; they could find no houses to live in. There was great uproar. and agents were sent to Peking ou both sides. It was more than prob- able that the authorities at Peking were to have shared in the benefits. but when they found the strength of the gilds arrayed against them they yielded with what grace they could.
 Other instances of the boycott are given. Transportation companies are made to pay claims for damaged goods to an extent considered very unjust. but if they were refused, immediately a boycott would be passed on them. and they would have no cargoes to carry. The boards of trade at various ports are showing a different attitude to the for eigner from that formerly obtaining impose restrictions which the white devil" may accept or refuse. at pleas. ure. but if he refuse presently there !s nothing doing in business his way. Once the great exporters were foreign CTS, today the Chinese are bringing their goods to the ships and sending them | forth themselves.
 It is thought the boycott will spread to the furthermost parts of the king

BEES AS MESSENGERS.

A very curious and interesting in- yestigation has been going on for some time past among naturalists with re- gard 10 the senses of the lower ami Iials. It has Dev7. sJCpd that in most cases these are very different from ours; and 1t cannot any longer be~de- nied that instances occur in which special senses that are not possessed by human beings are developed in ami mals. One of these. called '-tbe sense of direction enables bees 10 return from long distances to their hives un- aided by any of the five different ways we have of recognizing our surround ings
 To test this matter thoroughly the fertile honey makers have been taken considerable distances from their hives tO localities which it was certain that they had never visited. yet when set free they few as unhesitatingly. as d. rectly and as unerringiy home as from places perfectly known Co them.
 A few years ago it occurred Co well known beekeeper that this ren . kable ability on the part Of bees might be made useful. Convincing himself that be could rely upon their speedy return from anvwbere within the range of three miles from the hives. whether ther had erer been at the place from whieh thpv had started hOmewsrf 0F not he set to work to test their ability to earry messages as do h0minx pig cons.

ken. A senator of the United States, Chauncey M. Depew, is to have a chance to explain why he took large retainer from the Equitable for years; and why he allowed it, while he was a director, to loan money and lose to the boom town of Depew, in which he was interested; and why, having guaran- teed the loan, he welched upon the agreement. David B. Hill seeks chance to explain why, for no discover able reason, he drew salary from the Equitable for years. Jacob H. Schiff, who was treated with as high am- bassador of finance by Witte, of Rus sia, and other fnanciers almost as powerful, are to explain, perhaps, why they, as directors, apparently sold to the Equitable bonds in whose sale they were personally interested.

REVIVED WAR MEMORIES.
Two Hartford Men Have Misadven-
 ture in New Britain.

Two Hartford Men Have AlsduNeh-
 ture in New Britain.
 New Britain, Sept IA man who said he was W. D. Stilson of Hartford, with a companion, met with a pecu- liar automobile accident here last night. about 10 o'clock. The men had stopped on North Stanley street, at the foot of Hartford avenue, to make repairs on the machine. Something was out of order with the gasoline tank and during the half hour the gas accumulated and. suddenly exploded.
 A flame over 100 feet long shot out from the machine and the explosion shook the surrounding houses, break ing windows and alarming fhe neigh borhood. So great was the force of the explosion that a grating on catch basin fin the street was displaced. Two windows in the home of A. l.. Colohan of No 4O3 Stanley street were broken and lamp was thrown to the floor. When Mir Colohan reached the street one mans clothing was on ire. but the blaze was extinguished by rolling him In the tall grass.
 Several residents soon arrived with blankets, but their assistance was not required. Daniel o'Brien. who also lives near the scene of the accident, says that the explosion is the worst he has heard since he served at Cold Harbor during the civil war. Three windows were broken fin his home. The occupants of the machine agreed to settle the damage and after few adjustments they rode away In the machine. which seemed to have sui- fered less than anything else connect ed with the explosion. The number on the machine was 19o1C. The state register of autos credits that machine to John ]. McNamara of Hartford.
