b Plays . Curious Part In Chinese
Business Etiquette.
When a salesman or person seeking

at the entrance to a Chinese mer-
chants place OF business the posi-
bility OF an audience depends alto
gether upon how he deports himself
while awaiting the return of the card
bearer. Should he be so indiscreet as
to put one foot over the twelve inch
railing that intervenes between the
step and the doorway no manner of
persuasion can prevail upon the mer-
chant to grant him an interview.
In case he waits patiently in the
space allotted to unknown callers this
fact Is noted, and he is usually ush,

It's case Is a pretty strong one. II

France, where 1t has ceased for the
last eighteen months, the import is to
stop. II has also sanctioned the i'm.

quarantine. and to a smaller extent
the import from Austria. But there
can be no talk of the abolition or ev.
en- lowering of the duties on meat or
fodder. Nor can there be a lowering
of railway freight rates-they are al.
ready at minimum. A rise in price
is not denied. but it corresponds to a
rise in prices all along the line.

JUDGE CAUGHT AS SUSPECT.
French Magistrates Shabby Clothes
Land Him in Court.

Paris.-A good story is told of an
Assize-Court judge in provincial
town. where an important murder case
is being tried just now. The president
of the Assize- Court had the misfor-
tune of being collared by gendarmes
on the high road. led like a prisoner
to the gendarmerie and questioned
there until his identity was fully es-
tabished
The distinguished magistrate is no
lover of fine clothes, and as soon as
he has divested himself of the gor-
geous red robes of the Assize Court
he likes to appear in an old coat. The
shabbier his clothes are the better he
seems to like them. The other day
he left his valise at a railway station
and was proceeding on a bicycle, and
he put on his very oldest coat for the
journey over dusty country road.
Two gendarmes were on the lookout
for an individual who had a weakness
for the property of others. He had
been described to them as tall, thin,
with gray hair, short moustache and
badly dressed. When the cyclist
came in sight the gendarmes exchang-
ed knowing glance. This was their
man. There could be no doubt They
stepped into the road and barred the
way.
You are our prisoner" they said.
There was nothing for the judge to
do but allow himself to be escorted
to the nearest town. He, the presi-
dent of the Assize Court, indeed? I'VE
shall see!" muttered the gendarmes
At the gendarmerie, however, the
judge was able to prove his identity
in spite of his clothes. 1t was then
the turn of the gendarmes to feel ri
diculous. But he accepted their apol-
ogies with good nature, and nobody
would have known the story, If he had
not told it himself to his friends as an
adventure that had greatly amused
him.
