LEGAL PROVERBS OF CHINESE.
They Appear to Have One to Fit
Every Case.


They Appear to Have One to Fit
Every Case.
Native proverbs relating to legal af-
fairs divide themselves roughly into
three classes--frst, those more or less
common to all people, and dealing with
that "once bitten twice shy sort Of
wisdom which leads man to put up
with evils rather than go to law. Such,
for example, are the following:
Ii one family has a lawsuit ten fam
lilies are involved in calamity.
Ii but one word OF information
against man gets into the Court nine
bullocks cannot drag it out again.
Let householders avoid litigation, for
once go to law and there is nothing
but trouble.
Win your lawsuit and lose your
money.
Instances of this kind might be null
tiplied. But we must pass on to the
second class-those referring specially
to the mandarins and here it may
be SAID that though the majority of the
proyerbial sayings are not compliment
tary, there are a few to bear witness
to the good that a good man may do
even IN an official capacity, while 9TH
ers give pointed advice. s. "Never
beat If you must fine; if you do, all
fines decline" Most, however, as is
natural, deal with the seamy side. The
following are a few specimens:
No punishment on the bench, no law
below it.
Deceive, but don't insult mandarin.
Mems hearts are like iron, and the
rule Of the mandarins like a furnace.
Even an honest Chih-fuImay, during
the three years term Of Office saves 10
myriad snow-White tales Of silver.
Before he comes into Office he re
proves a thousand faults; after he
comes into Office he commits the same
himself.
Quickly pay your taxes, even il he
should empty your purse; then you
will be most happy.
Wishing to criminate, no difficulty
Will be met in finding a pretext.
With only right to back you, sure
the yamens lack you.
Yamens are deep as the sea and
their corruptions lofty as heaven.
In life beware of yamens; in death
| beware Of hell.-NOrth China Herald.

Special Favors FOR Drummers.

Travelling men in England have spe-
cial treatment accorded them in hotels,
says a returned American. When you
go into the lobby of an English hotel
you may be surprised to find a great
open fire burning in one end of the
room. Great comfortable chairs will be
found about the lobby and you need
not exclaim If you see several statesmen
smoking long pipes and reposing their
stockinged feet upon large footstools.
Empty shoes can be found in many por-
tons of the room.
The English lobby is a parlor or sit
ting room, place Of comfort, and in
no instance bears the stiff, vanished
emblazoned appearance Of your Amer
lean hostelries. When you go to the
dining room you may be surprised to
hear the clerk ask if you are a trav-
cling man. If you are you are ush-
cred into a simply but homely furnish
ed room containing one long table. The
apartment is more like private dining
room, and everybody is everybody else's
friend. The meal is especially served,
the walters show especial Difference
and everything bears a tone Of home
life. AS each man leaves the table he
is seen to drop a half penny in a little
box. This Is an unwritten law Of the
land, and the money thus collected goes
to pay for schools and orphanages for
the children of travelling statesmen who
die without lnavino c11fioiop+ ,,oooDc fo~
| their support. Several of these schools
and orphanages are maintained
| throughout England.

WISCONSIN GRAIN LAW INVALID.
Inspection Act Held Violation of In
terstate Commerce Provision.

EerSd1te commerce RrOSISiO7ls
Judge Sanborn of the United States
District Court in Madison handed down
an opinion holding that the Wisconsin
grain inspection law is unconstitutional
because it is in contravention of the fed
eral constitutional provision relating to
the regulation of interstate commerce.
The Superior grain and warehouse com
mission created by the law is enjoined
from interfering in any way with the in
spection, storage or transportation of
grain in or throughout this State. The
law was passed two years ago for the pur-
pose Of compelling the railroads and ele-
vators operating in Superior to have their
grain inspected and graded in that city
instead of in Duluth. 1t is expected the
case will be carried to the federal Court
of Appeals.

New York, Nov. 20.-A peculiar
light was thrown last night upon De-

charges of insulting woman against
Slgnor Enrico Caruso.
Detective Kane admitted that he
had paid visit last Saturday to Mrs.
Hannah Graham. Last night he again
called on her. The woman who
charged Caruso with insulting her in
the animal house in the zoo gave the
name and address, but is not Mrs.
Graham.
Immediately after Kane made his
admission, it was declared by two per-
sons living in the house that he and
the real Mrs. Graham are apparently
old friends. Mrs. Graham and Kane
are both said to know the real woman
In the case.
The hearing in Yorkville court on
Wednesday will not drop the curtain in
this astonishing affair. Policeman
Kane, who made the arrest; Captain
Stephenson, his commanding officer at
the arsenal, and the police commission
en- s office will push the charge with
all their might. On the other hand,
Caruso's friends, who have rallied to
his support, viii use every effort to dis
credit Kane, and to show that the
charge was trumped up for motives
that will not bear scrutiny.

"I came on the commission in 1897,
