THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

The seriousness of the disturbance and
disaffection in China has TO be recog-
nized. For many weeks there have been
frequent reports of popular outbreaks, Of
military mutinies, and also of organizer
and weighty protests against certain
leading features Of the government $
policv. These demonstrations have been
detached and apparently independent OF
each other in time and locality, and have
been attributed to different and separate
causes. There is little room for doubt
however. that there has been a bond OF
sympa thy among them all, and that they
are parts of one general movement.
It is significant that all these out
breaks and other symptoms Of unrest
have occurred in the central and south
ern provinces, instead OF in the north
ern as in the Boxer troubles, which
means that they are Chinese as distin-
cuished from Manchu in origin. and also
suggests that they are no less anti
dynastic than anti-foreign in source and
animus. To some extent. indeed, they
seem to be anti-foreign, notably in the
protests against the acceptance Of allen
loans for railroad building and in the
latest demonstrations at Nanking. But
even there it may be perceived that they
partakc Of an anti-dynastic character.
The wrath of the people is provoked not
against foreigners per sc so much as
against tho policy of the Manchu dy-
nasty.
This movement may have been largely
brought about by the governments great
and desirable work for constitutional
progress: for the eyes Of the people have
been opened. Information concerning
the modern history of China and the
dealings Of the world with IT has been
generally disseminated, and it is not
strange if the people are exasperated at
the realization of the way in which their
ancient and proud nation has been hu-
inflated and resentful against the dy-
nasty and the government which have
permitted such things.

ASp RIGLE.

-
Modern conveniences have robbed Us
Of many an oldtime delight. Who, hav-
ing experienced it in the DAYS gone by,
will ever forget the joyous anticipation
the exquisite qualification, of the sum-
mer's first dish OF fresh asparagus, after
the winters long deprivation. We had
no perishable freight expresses then 10
suppIy our tables all the year around
with delfcacies out OF their local sea-
son, and thus to debase the dainty Solr-
met into q mere epicurc. The king OF
vegetables, indeed. is the asparagus
trained by mans kindly hand TO realize
10 the full its delicate possibilities. The
white giant from California. the slen-
derer green stalk from Long Island, both
are supreme. What benefactor OF man

the while his Queen was sampling its
tasteless top and pronouncing it want

must have revealed itself to mere NOR
tails in some solemn offering to the gods.
Hot or cold. that is the question;
mere matter of personal preference. per-
haps, vet Of momentous Importance.

per 4 difference of taste In the serving
of asparagus may be as dangerous to
coniugal felicity as George Eliot de-
clared a divergence Of the sense of hui
NOR to be. 1t may override loyal
friendship. There is the warming story
Of the two Gbbes of the old regime. They
both loved asparagus, and they agreed
that the happiness of eating it could not
be enjoyed alone. So they dined to-
gether daily when their fayOrite dish
was In season. But one loved his as
paragus cold. the other preferred IL
warm. wherefore the delicacy was
served to them both ways. a generous
portion for each. Thus they grew old
together, and infirm, ever united more
closely by taste in common. The
Reaper came at last, one day, just be-
fore the dinner hour. The survivor
lifted his tear-stained face to the sum
moned physician. Has he left us?' he
asked brokenly. "Yes. Monsieur fAbbe.
The bereaved man rose from his knees,
tottered out of the room, leaned over
the banister and shouted: "Bastite,
serve both portions Of asparagus cold
to-day"
This fable teaches that virtue may
become a vice, not in the asparagus but
in man. One word of advice in conclu-
sion: Would you mellow the flavor of
the vegetable to its most delicate per
fection: Then do not boil it. Place ii
upright in four inches of water, close
the pot hermetically, and steam ii.
Try it. You will thank US for the recipe.

THE TALK or THE DAY.

4 group Of naturalists in Paris recently
'enjoyed" 4 dinner which consisted Of an
ostrich egg omelette, python stew roast
African gazelle and crow pie. Guests say
according to reports in the London papers
that the ostrich eggs tasted like any other
eggs. The serpent stew proved to contain
large bones, with small pieces Of gelatinous
and entirely tasteless meat attached Roast
gazelle as good roast lamb The
crow pie was black, bitter and uauseating
and only few brave men swallowed their
portion. The menu also contained. written
within parentheses on the card and eaten
apologetlcally. roast beef and new potatoes.
At dessert pieces of the serpents skin were
distributed charms among the women.
