DIALECTS IN CHINA.

speaking as many dialects as you will

ty-fve miles the dialect changes 10
such an extent as TO be practically an

speaking the best mandarin-the court

that your honorable foreign language
is not understood. Even the governors
OF the provinces have to employ inter-

1T is a common joke among foreign

indicate by signs what they intend to
converse about before beginning to
talk, and this is "A joke with quite a
grain OF truth In it."-Harper's Week

is that merchants couldn't do business
at all without advertising in some way.
They have all done II. They didn't
know II was advertising. Their medi-

newspaper is nothing else but extend
ing your window advertising to a lar

whatever the conditions that compelled his action,
must undergo trial for his life even though there is
serious intention of nficting the death penalty
if it is imposed.
Admiral Rojestvensky has been formally
acquitted on the ground that at the time he SUR
rendered his mind had been unbalanced by a
wound. Four subordinate officers were pronounced
guilty, but it is announced they will be par
doned by the czar.
Such method of encouraging loyalty and
maintaining discipline appears fatuous and farcical.
1t is anachronism that would obtain in no nation
claiming to have kept in step with the march of
progress and civilization.
Rojestvensky might have, of course, refused
to surrender, but that would have involved ad-
ditonal and useless slaughter but would in no way
have changed the result of the battle in the Sea OF
Japan.
But the czar must have scapegoat to bear
the burden and the punishment for delinquencies
for which autocracy is itself TO blame The Rus
sian navy was destroyed because, il not inferior
in power it inferior in personnel, in spirit and
in fighting skill to that of Japan.
That is the verdict as it will be recorded in
history and that record would not be altered even
if Rojestvensky had stubbornly refused to haul
down Russia's flag until the waters had engulfed
every ship that carried it,

For him no bank account shall swell,
No angels watch the golden stair

And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude sound
Distrub his solitude profound;
Here let him live In calm repose.
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies go plant him deep
That naught may break his dreamless

Where no rude lamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well.
