CHINESE LANGUAGE.
Difference Between the Written Char
aeters and Speech.


aeters and Speech.
The dialects or languages of the Chi
nese empire are very numerous and
dissimilar. Thus Chinese speaking
the dialect of the Kwangtung (CantOm
province is not understood by a Chi
nese residing in the neighboring PROV
ince of Fukien. The language or dia-
lect spoken at Shanghai would be quite
strange to the people residing at Pekin.
Written characters Of Chinese are,
however, understood and recognized
by sight throughout the whole empire
In the same manner as our Arabic nu-
merals l, 2. 3, 4. etc, are recognized
by the eye throughout Europe. But as
these numerals when pronounced or
read have entirely different sounds at
tached to them in England. France,
Germany. Italy, etc. so the Chinese
written characters are spoken in to-
tally different words and sounds in
the several provinces of China. with,
however. the important exception that
the mandarin language is spoken or
understood more or less throughout
ACuA lis VI OhAlAd OIs TOuSuly
speaking. in nearly all the provinces
north and west of the river YangtZe.
The language known as Wen-li is the
medium by which the classical books
of China have been handed down. 1t
Is par excellence the written language
Of China, but it is not generally under
stood by the great mass of the people
The spoken language-viz. Mandarin
may also be written, and there is a
good deal of cOlloquia literature In
Mandarin. Versions of the Bible in the
local patOis have also been produced in
several districts of the southeast.
where the dialects are very numerous
and diverse.
In the Chinese written language
there are over 10000 distinct charac-
ters or symbols, and this vast number
Is being constantly increased by the
addition of new characters to repre-
sent new scientific words and modern
Ideas.
Although the Chinese are considered
a literary people and have naturally
desire for education, yet owing to the
extreme difficulty of mastering the
Chinese characters it is estimated that
only one in ten of the population can
read or write.-COntempOrary Review.

The Lambs on the Track.

One never knows the value Of an
amiable deed till he knows all its con-
sequences, and the merit of it is in
not knowing them all beforehand. An
engineer of a passenger train was driv-
ing through a snowstorm, eagerly scan
ming the track as far as he could see,
when, halfway through a deep cut,
something appeared lying on the rails.
1t was a sheep with her two little.
lambs. His first thought was that he
could rush on regardless of them, prob
ably without damage to his train, but
the sight of the innocent family COVER
ing in the storm touched him, and as
they paid no heed to his warning whis-
tie he pulled the air brake and sent his
fireman ahead. In a few minutes the
man came back with terrified race.
There had been landslide, and just
beyond the cut the track was covered
with rocks. 1t seemed certain that if
the train had gone on at full speed
in the binding snow it would have
been impossible to stop in time to es-
cape disaster. In the absolute sense
the incident was providential, as ev-
srything is, but circumstantially the
passengers Ca that railway train owed
their safety, lf not their lives. to an
engineer who was too tender hearted
to kill a sheep and her lambs.

GIVEN up TO DIE.

B. Spiegel, 1904 N. Virginia St.,
Evansville, Ind, writes: "For over
five years l was troubled with kidney
and bladder affections which caused
me much pain and worry. l lost flesh
and was all run down, and year ago
had to abandon work entirely. l had
three of the best physicians who did
me no good and was practically given
up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was
recommended and the first bottle gave
me great relief, and after taking the
second bottle was entirely cured. -

Clever Hits on Big Men and Great
Questions Which are Uppermost
in the Public E ye of theWeek


In the Public E ye of theWeek
The Big Four of the packing COM
blne got theirs this week when
the Supreme Court of the United
States confirmed the decision of the
lower court fining them SIS, 900 each
for rebating. The court pointed out
that the Offense was not exactly re-
batting, but accepting unlawful con-
cesslons. - The distinction is so fine
that the average layman will not see
1T. The point is that the packing
trust was punished for unlawful and
unfair competition in shipping it's
produce. This does not look much
like the truce with rich malefactors
that Senator Tillman declared in
the Senate this week the Administra-
tion was making to secure a continu-
ance of the Republican party in
power. Fifteen thousand dollars is
not much for one of the big packing
firms to have to pay. But a repe-
titiOn of the dose a few times will
make even them sit up and take no
tice. 1t seems strange that a rep
etition of the dose should be Necessary
or that it should have had to be ad-
ministered in the first place. The
object of the law is not rancorous har-
assing of corporate wealth, but there
are rules to the commercial game as
we'll as to the football game, and it
should be played fair. If it costs
corporations much money and expert
ence to learn the lesson, so much the
worse for the corporations, but if the
present fair deal policy of the gov
ernment is carried out, they will have
to learn it sooner or later and the
business atmosphere will be much
pleasanter to breathe once the lesson
has been driven home.
Massachusetts is threatened with
another attack of George Fred Will
liams and the brown tailed, moth.
Philadelphia is indulging in a big
religious revival. 1t might act as a
good disinfectant if they could move
it up to Harrisburg and hold it in the
capital.
The U. P. Stockholders are looking
for that $26, 900, 900 that E. H. Harri-
man made out of the securities of the
road. And they will find it about the
same time the United States finds
that twenty-nine millions. the Stand
ard Oil Company is owing.
Hon. William E. Chandler is in
favor of uninstructed delegations to
Chicago. Evidently the Hon. Will
liam wants a point of vantage where
he can see all the scapping at one
time.
The submarine investigation does
not yet seem to have caught up with
the subterranean lobby.
Harry Orchard has pleaded guilty
of murder, but in view of his confes-
sion, pleading guilty once does not
seem to come near being enough.
AS near as can be ascertained, Gov
Hughes is forgood government will

Examining Wedding Gifts

women viewing another womans
wedding presents say things which are
likely to be lnisinterpreted." said the
bachelor who declares he .hates we'd
dings, but always goes when invited,
according to the Washington Post,
"and other things which on favorable
Interpretation would make compliment
tary to the bride or to the givers. It's
the way of the sex, suppose: Now,
why is it that the most common remark
OF the women who are inspecting the
layout of silver and cut glass and other
gifts more or less useful is, what
a lot of presents she got? They
don't mean anything unkind, but
the Inference the uninitiated caves
droppca' would draw is that they wonder
why she got so many, as if by, rights
she shouldn't have had half so many.
Of course they vary the remark, What
"a lucky girl! says one, rs if she would
like to add, Some persons have too
much luck And another saws, Il
wonder where they all came from,
implying almost as if the bride couldn't
have enough friends to make so many
gifts and must have sent some of then
to herself just to make a showing"

He Went Up One.

IN school in small Fifeshire vii
lage the other day the teacher was
giving a lesson in subtraction. It
has taken the class some time to mas
ter the mysteries of addition, and In
this rule she found them no less dull.
Driven to desperation by the stupid
ity of their replies, she rashly prom
1sed three whole pennies to the child
who gave her the, smartest answer.
"Of course" she explained for the
twentieth time, you can only subtract
things Of the same name. For in
stance. you can't take eight marbles
from 16 years, or four horses from
seven pence"
A hand shot up at the back of the
class and the teacher broke off to in
quire what was the matter.
Please, miss squeaked a small
boys voice, cant you take three pen
MES from one purse then?"

How the Cow Helped Australia

Corn is king in America and the
cow Is queen in Australia" remarked
n. >. Guthrie, agricultural editor of the
Sydney Mail. "Thc Gov; has redeemed
the country, and hundreds of farmers
who lost nearly all they had by the
drought of 1902 are now better off
than they ever We're, and it is I'LL due
to the cow. Australian butter ranks
well up with the best butter i'm the
world
"Our butter making is all done nv
the cooperative creamery system. Il
has been years since the TURNER made
butter eli the farm. We have little
use Tor Il dual purpose COW in Australia.
That is. the dairy farmer wants a cow
that will give milk ten months i'm the
the year. and he uscs 1t for no other
purpose. while those who raise cattle
Tor beef have no thought of milk pro
duction."

PASTOR; AND ZINC

The Almighty will take care of the
tariff, said Senator Deliver in his Reno
speech. He spoke only in Il general
way and it remained for two clcrgymen
to reach the heights of absurdity in
putting the tariff into heavenly hands.
These Missouri ministers prayed yester.
day that duty might be imposed upon
zinc since zinc is the chief industry i'm
their neighborhOod. Foreign zine is
cheaper and can hold down the price of
the Missouri product if admitted free.
Blind leaders OF Il blind flock. these
pastors do not take into account the
plight that the foreigner will be in if
he Is shut out of the American market.
Why then should the Ruler of the
Universe heed such IL prayer What
grounds of justice would there be in
putting one man into poverty that an
other might be raised to atiiucnccy
When the Almighty's aid is asked i'm
selfish cause, there can be but one
answer. Those who pray such prayers
are short sighted They see only the
narrow circle that surrounds them
selves and fail - observe the undcrly-
ing laws on which thu universe is
founded. Let them stand ont under
the sky on IL starry nj 3kt when no
moon beams dim The sparkling o,hy
ana raise their voice" in aupp!irntiun
to Him who made not only this earth.

BROUGHT THEM ALL FORWARD.
Husky Bridegroom Worked Bluff on
Occupants Of Car.

AT village station a husky young
man and robust young woman board
ed the train, and they had only taken
their seats when his arm fell around
her waist and her head fell on his
shoulder. The other passengers became
interested at once, and a general grin
passed around the coach. Some pepper
mint drops, carried in the young mans
vest pocket, and doled out one by one,
mad been eaten before he caught on
TO the smiles. Then he stood I'D and
said: -, .. -, - -
Ladies and gentlemen, this is my
wife. We were married an hour ago.
She is bride. We married for love. I
ha1nt ne pictur' and she hain't purity,
but that's our business. Your congrat.
;ulat1ons are now I'm order"
The smiles faded away, and no one
moved-no one but the husky hus-
band. He slowly removed his coat.
rolled back his sleeves, and con-
tinued:
& There's IL men in this here car,
and want every burned one of them

binary chickens in the world are those
bred by the royal family of Japan, the
privilege of raising them not being
accorded to any Of the Mikado's sub

brated for the wonderful growth of
their tail feathers, full grown roos-
ter's tail often reaching a length of
20 feet. The tail is of a lovely deep
blue shade, while the body is buff, and
about the neck is white ring. pair
of these chickens has been known to
sell 20 a wealthy Englishman for
$1,000 on condition that he would take
them out of the country.
Il believe that ere long the species
will entirely disappear, as l heard be-
fore leaving Japan that it was the in.
tention Of his majesty to cease their
breeding"
