What Chinese hard and cheap labor is Is indicated by some remarks by Consul Paddock, at Annoy. The Chinese farmer, he writes, is up before, day. break and at work in his sterile fields fields whose productivity has been ex- hausted except under high fertiliza- tion-and he returns to his little shanty after nightfalL To the view of the for eigner he never rests. and for this nev- er-ending labor he raises a crop of rice or corn that does not support his fam fly for the year. His clothing consists of loin cloth in summer and coarse cotton suit in the winter. He is sim ply an example of all the labQrers and artisans of China. All work hard to live and a.: receive a compensation commensurate with that of the farmer. The following scale of wages will give some idea of the daily returns receiv- ed for labor done Gin United States gold) ;Laborer, 10 cents; mason, 15 cents; artisan, 10 to 20 cents; and clerk, 40 to 50 cents.

CAN'T p1EASH ANrB0D r

The poor old Czar must feel that he can't suit anybody He cant please himself, he can't please the grand dukes and the other grand folks, and he can't please the peasants. Some of the diflculties that beset him are tndi- cated by the fact that his ukasa grant ing the peasants the right to become owners of their communal allotments evokes fierce criticism. The Retoh de- nounces the measure as nothing short of revolutionary overthrow of the communal system likely to engender the direst discord in village life. It contends that the measure is calculat- ed to foster the interests of the more favored minority, who happen to hold the largest allotments and to possess the money necessary in order to start farming on their own account. It says that the government has not scrupled to destroy with a stroke of the pen the whole complicated system of will lage land tenure. out Of mere anxiety to assure the property interests and to secure the support Vf a small section of the peasantry, regardless of the welfare of the vast majority, and that the consequences will be to open an avenue of endless strife between the two sections and to strengthen opposi- ton t5 the government among the masses. The Tovarishch foresees an enormous increase of the village prole- tasiat

Behold the gay suburbanite, Who tramps the muddy road He whistles, and his heart is light, Though heavy be his load The beacon window glow he spies Through snow and rain and sleet, He wipes the moisture from his eyes, And then he wipes his feet. Inside the house he finds it drier, But cold. He takes a look. The cook has failed to make the fire, And so he fires the cook. The larder's empty All the shops Within the neighborhood Are closed. He thinks he'd like some
 chops
 And so he chops some wood. His exercise is quite strain, With dumb-bells and with hatchet, For he who runs to catch a train Must train to run and catch 1t, No breakfast his With might ana He runs, Time will not wait, For if he's late to catch a train The train is never late. But when he's early on the spot, To show it's mighty power The 7:10 train, as like as not Is late an even hour

HARD TO DO GoOD.

How hard it is to do good, even when you want to- when Andrew Car negie gave $1O,OOO,9OO to the Scottish universities there was a general roar of applause, and not q hint that the gift could ever be anything but beneff- cent. Now comes Professor Sir will Ham Japp Sinclair of. Victoria univer- sity voicing numerous severe com plaints of the evil effect of Mir Carne- gles gift He says that he has never met an Aberdeen graduate who did not denounce the influence of the gift. It is learned that the provision where by any Scottish student may apply to the Carnegie Trust for fees has been interpreted with such latitude that even some colored students have re- ceived aid. The practical effect of the gift has been that a majority of stu dents at all the Scottish universities have drawn fees from the trust fund. many of them squandering the money supplied by their parents and conceal ing the fact that they received help from the fund. It is also asserted that the university professors, in view of the students receiving these donations,
 ,..ol 4, e,i,. t,,tor;o1 faac arl k come less earnest in performing their duties. It is declared that the Scottish student is losing his self-reliance and capacity fol study under difficulties and that the whole nature of Scottish university training is undergoing change for the worse.

Gas pipes of paper are being made in France. Manila paper is cut into strips equal to the length of the pipes to be made. They are then placed in re- ceiver filled with melted asphalt and wrapped around a core of iron until the desired thickness is reached. After be- ing submitted to a strong pressure the paper is coated with sand, cooled, the core withdrawn and the outer pipe sur face covered with a waterproof prep aration. It is claimed that these pipes are as good as, and more economical than, metal ones.

CATS TAXED IN BERLIN.

We don't want to add to the sad ness that prevails in New Haven. while the beloved dogs are compelled to go their rounds muzzled, but we suppose there is a possibility that in lime some thing may be done here to mitigate the harmless, necessary cat. It is being mitigated in Berlin. Every cat owner in Berlin has now to pay tax, which is equivalent to a license, and each cat has to wear a metal disk round its neck as evidence that the tax has been paid, Any cat found on the streets without this metal disk is taken off to the mu- nicipal lethal chamber by the police. This method has already considerably lessened the number of cats in Berlin.
 Of course this is a hard-hearted, cruel proceeding Everybody who owns and loves a cat, or several cats, knows 1t is. The only thing that can be said in its defense is that everybody doesn't own and love a cat or several cats, and that such people, even though they are of the earth earthly may possibly be en- titled to what they would call c5nsid- eration in the matter of cats. If cats are ever taxed in New Haven we who own and love them will have to suffer for what is sometimes called the good of others, but is often only the stupid ity and brutality of others.

ALI RIGHT IN THE CANAL ZONE.
 The President sent three messages to congress yesterday-one concerning the land thieves one concerning the pro- motion of naval officers, and one con- cerning the Panama canal. All three are interesting, and the Panama canal one is especially interesting. Last month the President visited the Isth- mus in order to see for himself how things were going there. His report will be decidedly cheering to those who have been depressed by the reports of other observers who have made out that our canal diggers are not digging with any great zeal and effect. The President says they are. He finds that everything in the Canal Zone is about as right as right can be, and even more right than it could fairly be expected to be. He is as well convinced of the success of the enterprise as one can be of the success of any enterprise that is human. And he says: Our fellow countrymen on the Isthmus are work ing for our interest and for the na- tional renown in the same spirit and with the same efficiency that the men of the army and navy work in time of war It behooves us in our turn to do all we can to hold up their hands and to aid them in every way to bring their great work to triumphant con clusion.
 Of course there have been and will be great difficulties to contend with in Panama. The French found them toe great, But as we are greater than the French we shall probably be able to hold out and on. Our Presidents lay out of the situation is encouraging.

A funny question has arisen in Ber- tin. A few weeks ago the Parisian arr tist, Vincent d'Indry, gave several con- certs in Berlin, producing works of his own, which were cordially applauded. Hardly had the last strains died away when some journalist got hold of a copy of the New York Independent, in which D'Indry had spoken of German musical taste in the most contemptu- ous way. The Germans, he said, do not know the difference between good music and bad, and their opinions have no value whatever. Possibly if these remarks had become known week sooner D'Indry would have been hissed Instead of applauded, But now that he got applause, can he be consistently proud of it?

M. Fallleres was, until recently, be- 1ieved to be the only president of the French republic who had no double, but his counterpart has been found. The man who most resembles him physical ly is respectable merchant of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays his part with decorum and dignity. He wears exact ly the same kind of blue butterfly neck tie with white dots as the president, the same kind of hat and exactly so oddly cut beard. And on his promenades he is always accompanied by friend who could easily be taken for the president S private secretary. Dignified and with measured steps, the enviable double walks through the Faubourg Saint Honore and feels overjoyed at being sa- luted on all sides.

Some interesting facts have been col lected by Vice Consul Arnold at Foo chow concerning the great decline in China's tea trade. From 1878, when tea was first introduced into England, un- til 1887 China held exclusively the tea trade of the world Then India began to enter the tea market. The Chinese trade reached high tide in 1886, with a total export of 9OO,OO0OOO pounds In 1884 China furnished about 72 per cent of the worlds total, India and Ceylon IS per cent, and Japan and Formosa 10 per cent But in 1904, when the total consumption had increased to 4,OOO, ,O0O pounds, China contributed only 30 per cent, India and Ceylon SO per cent, Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. The decline in China is ascribed to careless methods of cultivation and preparation of the leaf.

This is done in some of the foreign armies. Not every organ Ization of the army can have martial music, but the next best thing, many people think, is to have the men sing as they march as means of shorten Ing the distance" The proposition has recently been made to the War depart ment that soldiers be taught to sing The Secretary of War has obtained a report on the subject from the General Staff, which considers that such in struction is not of sufficient importance to be added to the regular work of the soldier, whose time may be more profit ably taken up with something more es- sentlal to his occupation,
