A CUP OF TEA.
It Plays a Curious Part In Chiness
 Business Etiuuette.

Business Etiquette.
 When salesman or person seeking business interview presents his card at the entrance to Chinese mer- chants place of business the possi- 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- cred in.
 Once in, there is still more delicate matter to be disposed of, and in case the newcomer is ignorant of the cus- tom he fares i'll with his errand Im- mediately upon the callers entering and taking a seat servant brings a serving of tea, which includes a small cup for each person present. The point of etiquette demands that this tea shall not be touched until the guest Is ready to depart, in case the inter- view has been pleasant one, in which case the caller is supposed to take up and drink his tea at parting, and at this signal all the others do likewise. However, should it so happen that the Chinaman Is not pleased with his call CT and is in any way annoyed by him the merchant takes up the tea and be- gins to drink at once, which act is a direct and decided hint that the in- terview is ended and has not been to the pleasure of the merchant. The caller Is then expected to take his i'm mediate departure.
 When caller has become well ac- quainted some of the formality is bro- ken by the Chinese, and on a cold day cup of tea is served immediate ly to the guest in social way. But the formal" tea is still to be observ- ed and partaken of at parting, ire spective of the cup given to warm and greet the caller on his arrival This, however, is done only after many vis- it's, when the business dealings have been of such nature as to warrant friendship and hospitality.-Youth's Companion.
 A Coy Maiden.

Thay led the bashful. modest gentle. sobbtns creature home, and the next day shs ran away with married lightning pod peddler.-Altoona KanJ TribunA

Buried Alive.

In the early history of Japan it was decidedly dubious honor to be close ly related to any person of note. for one of the laws at that time decreed that when person of rank or impor tance died all the immediate relatives must be buried alive in a perpendicu lar position around the personaGe's grave. Their heads were left above the earth, and thus they remained un til welcome death caI'e to free then.

cs HE energy with which Republican party managers are reform
ing their lines throughout the State and the confidence they
express of carrying both branches of the Legislature and
electing their candidates in counties that went Democratic last
year show that the party is pulling together, and will be in good
shape in the fall. Even in Hudson county the Republicans are
sanguine of success, and there are predictions of a Republican
sweep in Jersey City and the county. Boots it not to tell what
has been done on the Democratic side. Last fall the Democrats
carried New Jersey by majorities unexampled in the party history,
and Democrats who had patiently sustained seventeen years of
defeat hailed the dawn of a new day. They believed that the Demo
cratic party, chastened by years of adversely and taught wisdom
by hard experience, would march on to successive victories; that
New Jersey had been restored to the arms of Democracy. Today
the party organization that displayed such splendid vitality last
year is sadly out of gear, a singular change in a few months after
a sweeping victory at the polls. The present Democratic party
situation fully justifes Republican confidence. But the Democracy
has ever possessed the faculty of pulling itself together in an
emergency. 1t has outlived factions and triumphed over party
treasons. If it has been led astray it has come back to reform
its lines and make it's old familiar rush in a campaign. If it has
been disorganized by defeat it has undauntedly recovered its or
ganization. Never before was it disorganized by victory, and never
before did accession to power in the State government threaten
defeat. But New Jersey Democratic organization has not lost it's
wonderful recuperative power, and if the organization leaders in the
State shall shake off apathy and diligently set to work to prepare
for the fall campaign there will soon be reason for an abatement
of the confidence of Republican managers of recapturing the Legis
lature and putting New Jersey again in the Republican column
of States.

MISS LIBERTY, At
20, GETTING OLD
Statue Shows Signs of Age, but
Is Good for Another
Century.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The Statue of
Liberty is getting old. An army engi-
neer recently made a close examination
Of the statue-they look 1t over that
way once a year-and found that there
were just about fifty small holes in the
bronze plates of which the statue is
built. These holes come usually in folds
and are in spots where the plates al
ways were a bit thinner than the gen.
eral run Of the statue. They also APP
pear, seemingly, on the more exposed
sides.
There is no immediate danger for the
Goddess, however. Fer chief caretaker,
Lieutenant Jones, says that she's good
for 100 years yet and maybe longer,
just as she Is, and, moreover, Lieuten-
ant Jones doesn't see why 1t is not pos
sible to replace from time to time some
of the plates which have become more
badly disintegrated than others.
The verdigris on the statue Is de-
clared not to be injurious to 1t. This
appears on all bronze works. But tho
engineer found that there was a grad
ual disintegration of the statue going
on. This he didn't think was due to
salt In the winds which sweep around
the island, because, he is reported to
have said, he didn't think there was
salt enough carried in this ann to
do any harm.

interfered with the promenading. The
non-Jews were ~displeased and gradu-
ally went elsewhere, and now the re-
sort is given over wholly to the Jews,
and wen some of the more sensitive
Jews,do not care t. go there.
Once In company with a Jewish aw-
yer, I took a ten-minute lunch at a
railroad station. A Jew, with we'll
marked physiognomy, standing be
tween the lawyer and myself, emptied
on his plate all the chicken, eggs and
potatoes within arms reach. / over
heard the Jewish lawyer say to him in
a low tone, 1T is this hoggishness that
brings contempt on u ace"
Both Christians and Jews should be
taught tolerance of one another and the
principles of comradeship and service.
Love begets love; brotherhood, brother
hood. The Helping spirit Of a Nathan
Stratus is doing a world of good in
overcoming barriers. Let the Christian
minister and the Jewish rabbi, in e
son and out, never tire of preaching
the fatherhood of God and the brother
hood OF man, and the American melt
ing-pot will do the rest. The Christian
should never forget-as Heine put it
Half the Christian world worships a
Jew and the other half a Jewess."
We have tried for nineteen centuries
to teach the Jew the Christian religion.
Let us now try for just one century
to teach him the religion of Christ.
Oh, the accursed blindness of selfish
ness, whether it be Jewish or Christian.
1t takes US long to learn that the
universe is a universe, and that a
wrong done to one is done to all, re-
acting chiefly on him who does it.

SPIRITUAL HEALING IS
EXPLAINED AS SUGGESTION.


LONDON, July 24.-The healing of
diseases by spiritual means has been
the subject of an inquiry by a repre-
sentative subcommittee of the British
Medical Association. There was no
evidence brought before the sub-com-
mittee which would bear out the con-
tention often urged by so-called 'spir-
itual healers' that a special gift of
healing Is possessed by them"
The summary of conclusions which
the subcommittee arrived at is as fol-
lows:
That there Is no difference in kind
between spiritual healing" and other
forms Of mental" psychic" oil faith"
healing.
That the essential factor in all forms
of psychic healing Is mental suggestion,
which has been used from remote
periods, although more fully explained
by modern psychology.
That there IL abundant evidence of
the efficacy of mental suggestion in the
treatment of many disorders. No evil
dence has been forthcoming of n
authenticated cure of organic disease.
That the benefits of hypnotic sug-
gestion or waking suggestion can be
obtained from qualified medical prac-
titioners, whose training enables them
to distinguish the conditions which are
amenable to this kind OF therapy from
the conditions which should be dealt
with by other kinds of medical or sur-
gical treatment.
That In accordance with the prin-
ciple that for the protection of the pub
lie the diagnosis and treatment Of dis
ease are best left in the hands of those
whose training has fitted them for that
calling, any formal cooperation of
clergymen and medical practitioners in
the treatment of disease Is to be depre-
Gated. All the benefits which may n
doubtedly accrue from the assistance
given to sick persons by the ministra-
tions Of the clergy in suitable cases
may be obtained in a way which will
not give rise to dangerous misunder-
standings on the part of the public.

Oyerseer of the Poor William A.
Baldwin Is a busy mar these days. His
office wit,.ou. a doubt receives more
visitors than any public Office in the
city. The poor not only does he serve,

Another Illustration of how 1t does
not always pay to be obliging was
offered recently at a hearing of two
men before United States Commits
sioner S. Howell Jones. The charge
was passing counterfeit money and the
commissioner held seven "phony' 81
bills in his hand. Finding 1T difficult to
detect the flaw in the paper, the COM
missioner asked If any of the specta-
LOTS would loan MIN q leBltlInate ~ Dill

The hearing had only begun and the
"Obliging One" had an important n
gagement for five minutes after he
proffered the 81. Upon leaving the
room he attempted to take his money
and told the commissioners he had to
leave.
THAT bill is exhibit A in these pro-
ceedings, sir" answered the commits
sioner with a most judicial look, land
If you take it I will hold you in con-

"Obliging One" was completely taken
in and urged the commissioner to gel
another bill, Is the engagement could
not be kept without the money. Al
length the commissioner gave in rather
reluctantly and to this day "obliging

COMMISSION ISSUE IN PASSAIC.

IT N Passaic, as in other cities that have held special elections
under the Walsh act, the campaign has been made wholly by
the advocates of Walshact commission government. The oppo-
sition has, fguratively, sat on the fence to see the campaign pro-
cession go by. Tomorrow in Passaic the issue of commission gov
eminent will again be fought out on these apparently unequal
terms. Campaigns make votes. People are led to adopt theories of
government and to favor or oppose public men and measures by
campaign addresses and literature and by personal appeal. The
cause that puts out these efforts with superior energy is most likely
to win. On the face of things in Passaic there should be IL majority
for the Walsh act; but so also, by the same token, there should
have been commission victories in Jersey City, Hoboken. Bayonne
and New Brunswick, where the campaign was onesided, too.

FREE PAPER AT ONCE FROM CANADA.

ITH the signature of the President to the reciprocity bill
WV that provision of the agreement relating to print papers
goes into effect at once. All Canadian paper made from
pulp wood cut on public lands will come in free of duty. The
paper trust controls the timber areas in the United States that
are tributary to water power. With lumber free from CaDada lnde.
pendent enterprise will assert itself. Large publishing concerns
that have been compelled to contract with the trust ran now set
up their own plants. With cheaper print paper newspapers can
be started in hundreds of small towns where now the high cost
of paper makes newspaper enterprise impracticable, while the
economy will also enable existing newspapers to improve their
pages and make them of more interest and value to the readers.
There is qualification, too, that the back of at least one of the
rapacious trusts has now been broken.
