It was reported last week in the
Current Events column that the Uni
ted States consul In Harbin, Manchu-
ria, had refused to recognize the presi-
dent Of the municipal council in that
clty, on the ground that the president
was appointed by Russia. His action
has precipitated a discussion in the
foreign Offices Of the world Of the
open.door question in China Accord
Ing to the treaty OF Portsmouth. both
Russia and Japan agreed to eyacuate
ManclMria, leaving the province to the
Chinese. The American consul is ac-
credited to China, and refuses to rec
ognlze any other governmental author
ity. The Russians have not with
drawn. neither have the japanese, and
a new government for Harbin was
lately arranged in such a way as to
give to Russia the control But the
American consul, acting under n
structions from home. insists that
Russia has no more right than Ameri-
ca or France or Germany to name
municipal officers in Harbin. It is evl-
dent that the government in Wash
ington expects both Japan and Russia
to keep their word given at Ports
mouth. II its expectation is expressed
with sufficient emphasis. It is likely
that the rights Of China viii be con
siderably advanced and the friendship
between the Chinese and the Ameri-
cans more firmly cemented.

Saved From Being a Cripple for Life.

to my foot. The attack was so severe
that ! could not move in bed and

The last stone has been laid in the
construction Of a stone bridge which
is destined to take rank as one OF
the greatest Of its kind in the world
The bridge is over the Connecticut
river at Hartford With its approach
es it took nearly three years to build
and cost about ss,O0O,O0O. It is com
posed Of nine spans having maximum
dimensions Of reach Of 119 feet and
a clear height Of arch Of IS feet, and
is 81 feet wide and has a total length
Of l,l92.5 feet The famous London
bridge, which has hitherto ranked first
among stone bridges, Is but 65 feet
wide, 1905 feet long and has five
arches, with a longest span Of 152
feet and a maximum rise Of arch Of
27-5 feet. The Connecticut bridge,
says Casters Magazine, is not re-
markabe for its length Of span, for
there are several stone bridges with
a span Of more than 200 feet, but
these are generally narrow one-span
structures. as, for instance, the Cabin
John Greek bridge, carrying the Wash
ington aqueduct, which has a span Of
220 feet and a width of but 20 feet.
Neither Is It the longest bridge, for
there is the Congleton viaduct, in
England, which has Al arches and is
2,s7O feet long and rs feet wide, Al
though the Hartford bridge is one Of
the widest bridges. It is not any one
feature that stamps It great, but a
summary Of size Of arch, Of length
and breadth, combined with Its per
fection Of structure and symmetry Of
outline, that makes plain the claim Of
superiority.

Mr.. Asqulth, the new British pre-
mier. was lucky "and" by Mr.. Glad
stone. He entered parliament in
1886. A single speech, which proved
his power as a debater, led Mr.. Glad
stone, in 1892. to offer him the Impor-
tant post OF home secretary, with
seat in the cabinet. although he had
not previously held any ofice. He re
NAMED at the home Office until the
Rosebery government was defeated in
1895; was in the opposition ten years,
and has been chancellor OF the ex.
chequer since December, 1905. He
has therefore served but Ave years
and three months in All as an officer
Of the crown. To have attained the
chief place in the government by two
steps. aud in so short time, is al
most unprecedented.

Going to Sleep.

What is the thing that knits up
the raveled sleeve of care? Cab
aims, in bis investigations on the
mind, endeavored to fix the order
in which the different parts of our
organization go to sleep; namely
first, the legs and arms, then the
muscles that support the head and
back. The first sense that slumb-
ers is that of sight, followed in
regular succession by the sense of
taste, smell, hearing and feeling.
The viscera contents of the body
cavities), be says, fall asleep one
after the other, but with different
degrees of souudness.
Galen, the great antomist and
philosopher, in the decline of life
suffered much from Insomnia, but
found some comfort in eating a
head of lettuce in the evening; and
everyone who has INDUCED in the
same luxury must have expert
enced the sophori: effect of this
plant. Among the fables of an
tiquity we read of Venus, after the
death of Adonis, throwing herself
on a bed of lettuce to soothe her
grief.
