FIRED HIM OUT; BIG ROW is ON.
China's Premier Dismissed Foreign
Diplomats Indignant.

Diplomats Indignant.
Pekin.-An edict dismisses from
Office Yuan Shi Kai, grand councillor
and commander-in-chiefo of the forces
The reason given for this action is
that he has rheumatism of the leg.
The edict orders Yuan Shi Kai to va
cate all his offices and to return to
his home, adding:
THUS our clemency toward him is
manifested"
A second edict appoints Ma Tung,
grand counsellor, presumably in Yu-
an Shi Kai's place. The members of
the diplomatic corps are well nigh
thunderstruck at the dismissal of
Yuan Shi Kai.
Two hours after the foreign min
listers became cognizant of the edict
of dismissal, the American, German
and British ministers were in con-
ference at the British legation.
There is nothing to indicate that
the dismissal of Yuan Shi Kai means
danger of foreigners. but the good
name of China's management of the
crisis following the demise of the
emperor and the dowager empress
and the appointment of a successor
has been swept away by this vindic-
tive act, which will astonish and
arouse the outside world, cripple
China's credit and postpone the with
drawal of foreign troops probably
for five years.

Bachelors.

BacneIors are cultivated In al
large cities. They live in bachelor
apartments and bungalows. They can
be seen during the day In counting
houses and on the golf links, and In
tho evening at dinner parties and
poker games.
Bachelors at one time were easily
caught with almost any kind Of bait
and swallowed bait, hook. sinker and
all often at the first throw. Now
however, a more foolish and overcon-
more wary and hide in the depths OF
their bachelor apartments, or in the
deep poolrosms, from which they can
net be lured.
They are gregarious In their habits,
running in schools but they stand
by each other. and 1t is very unusual
to End a solitary one. Occasionally.
however, a more foolish and overcon
fdent specimen will poke his nose
into a summer resort, when he Is
promptly landed.
Bachelors are, in reality, the bull
wark CT the nation. BY not getting
married they do not raise families.
Families as we know, are constantly
consuming our natural resources.
Bachelors are, therefore, really pro-
viding more natural resources fer the
few. Their conduct. 1t viii be seen,
is thus quite unselfsh-Life.

The Ingenuity OF Inventors.

The ingenuity of inventors and
manufacturers Is ever at work In the
endeavor to reduce the expense Of
production, and at the same time to
improve the quality Of articles having
a large sale. This Is not only benefi-
cial to the purchasing public, but It
inures to the benefit of the producer
In increasing sales and preventing
competition. This has been 80 in the
case of farm machinery, clothing,
shoes, bicycles, etc., and now 1t is ap-
parent in the safety razor field. Thou
sands of this style of razor have been
sold at from $50 to IS each and CIV
en- satisfaction. Recently manufac-
turers have applied more scientific
principles and improved methods in
their manufacture. and the result is
seen in the "Shrp Shavr" razor, which
is sent postpaid for twenty-five cents
in stamps by the Book Publishing
House, 1874 Leonard street, New
York. It is superior to any razor
sold, being bought largely by those
already owning the highest priced
razors. Not every one knows that
the best results are obtained by hav-
ing two or three razors and alternat-
ing them In use. This practice Of al
ternating possibly accounts for the
very large sale Of this low priced i'm.
plement.

UP A srARFIsH IAppeR.
Climbing That Affords Diversion for
Lot Of Captive Green Grabs.

Fishermen say that starfishes are
gregarious; that you might find on
the bottom an acre covered so thick
with them that you couldn't walk
without stepping on them, but not
find another starfish for hundreds OF
acres ground.
This characteristic gregariousness
the starflshes in captivity at the
Aquarium sometimes show, as when
they assemble, as they may, all In
one corner of the tank in the angle,
tightly holding on there, one above
another irregularly, but still close to-
gether from the bottom OF the tank
to the top.
And when they have assembled
thus you may see another curious thing
there, namely, green crabs climbing
from the bottom to the top OF the
tank up this starfish ladder.
The green crab is not one OF the
swimming crabs. When 1t goes any
where 1t has to walk or climb, and as
on the bottom II walks along, to climb
when 1t comes to rocks or other OBJ
structicns; 1t cannot, however, climb
up a vertical wall like that Of tank.
But here the starfishes, one above
another in the corner. make with
their bodies and projecting arms con-
venient ridges that the green crabs
can hold on by; and so they climb
there up this starash ladder. finding
in this, 1t may be. some diversion.
while as for the starfshes, they dent
seem to mind it.-New York Sun.
