YANG peror to follow ie. the footsteps of Japan or of Peter the Great in Russia. "As m prelladuary step I advised the , Imperor to conionsmel all his ministers of state and all the high officials in Peking to (lilt efore the places where they wor- shi the gods aad also to the ancestral halls, there to register an oath that they were determined to introduce reforms. "My second suggestion was to have the laws and administration revised; my third, that he should open a communica- tion or dispatch department, through , which any one would be able to me- ' morialize the throne. I told him that he had no means of finding out the desires of the people; that the responsibility of • administration was too widely diffused; that he should select young, intelligent men, well imbued with western ideas, to assist in the regeneration of the empire, • irrespective of their social position, whether they were lowly born or of high degree. "I advised the creation 'Of 12 new de- partments, modeled on western lines, and that foreigners be engaged to advise and assist. "I pointed out the enormous loss of revenue that occurred yeatly. faking • the magistracy of Namhoi (which is nay native district), I informed the emperor that -the total reeenue derived from it was $240,000 a year, but the actual • amount going into the imperial purse was only something over $20,000. "I reconnnended a complete change of the system under which the whole of the revenues of tlie country would go inte the imperial purse, 'comparing China with India and adducing from the ex- perience of India the financial resources of China. . "I told the emperor that from ordinary taxes 400,000,000 taels could be raised annually, and if the likin (native cus- toms) were abolished and a tariff proper- ly adjusted, bank notes issued, stamp duty established and other financial re forttes*doptecl at least 300,000,000 tads move could be raised. With this money in band it would be easy to get an army and a navy to protect our coast and to establish colleges for the training of offi. •_mem., State railways also could be con- struited." • Corby's Pole Fair. One of the most curious' of Whitinon- dey cesloms is that which is observed once in every 20 years at Corby, North- amptonshire, The itiliabitants assemble at an early hour, stop up all ,roads and byways in tbe parish and demand toll of !All who desire to pass through the village on that day. In CRSO of noncompliance, the traveler is placed upon 0 stout pole and carried vi et armie through the streets, escorted by the shouting popu- lace. "Pole fair," as it is called, is not without histoeical interest. It appears Mat Queen Elizabeth granted the inhabit- ants of Corby a charter to free them from serving on juries at Northampton and to free the knights of the shire frem the militia law. This ctistom df taking toll has been observed every 20 years in commemoration cif the granting of the charter,—London Chronicle. • Cheerful News Por Bill.

Wil- liams' Pink Pills seoner, for I know that they would have saved me sev- eral years of sickness and misery, and. I feel that I cannot too strongly urge other sick women to use them." The condition indicated. in Mrs. Poirier's case shows that the blood and nerves needed attention, and for this purpose Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are woma.n's best friend. They. are particularly adapted to cure the ail- ments from which so many women suffer in silence. Through the use of these pills the blood is enriched, the nerves made strong, and the rich glow of health hrought back to pale and sallow cheeks. There would be less suffering if women would give these pills a fair trial.

COULDN'T FOOL HIM. This Man Knew a Steamboat When Ile Sat,' One. The agent of one of the ocean steam - Ship lines, says the Chicago Tribune, told the following story of a St. Louis man who got into New York the clay after the maiden arrival of a great liner After gazing at the vessel from the pier the St. Louisan said to the man at the gangplank: "Purty good lifted steamboat." "She's a liner, ocean llner," was the lofty reply. "She's purty high up, ain't she?" "Ocean liners have to be. But when she is under way she doesn't look so high." "Her chimneys ain't very high, though." "You mean her funnels. No; they never makethem high for liners." "Hinges on 'ern?" "Never heard of hinges on a funnel!" "How does she get under the bridge?", "What bridge?" "Why, any bridge. Steamboats out our way have hinges on their chim- neys, and when they come to the bridges over the Myer they lower the chimneys, and she scoots under like she was greased." The man at the gangplank observed the St. Louts naan with lofty indiffer- "She ain't got any wheelhouses on her sides nor none at her stern," re- marked the St. Louis man after he had made further inspection. "Liners have propellers," said the man at the gangplank, and his nose turned up visibly. "Well, I'll bet she can't run. It takes two wheels and a bow like an arrow- head and a scant hold to give a steam- boat speed, sonny, and don't you forget It. If this steamboat was to get into the Mississippi, she'd go hard aground first clip." "I have told you this is not a steam- boat." "Shucks! You can't gimrne that. 'saw a picter of her in one of 'our news- papers before 1 left home, and the printin, under It said isteanaboate Do you think a St. Louis editor don't know a steamboat when he sees one? You're not on to your job yet." sowN BY GUNPOWDER. A Curious Way of Covering a Rooky Crag With Plant Life. In tee grounds of the Duke of Athol and near Blair castle, England, stands a high, rocky crag named Craigiebares. I It looked grim and bare in the midst of beauty, and its owner thought bow much prettier It would look if only trees, shrubs, etc., could be planted'in its nooks and crannies. It was consid- ered impossible for any one to scale its steep and dangerous acclivities, and no other way was thought of to get seed sown ,One day Alexander Nasmyth, father of the celebrated engineer, paid a visit be the duke's grounas. The crag was pointed out to him, and he was told of 'the desire of the duke regarding it. After some thought he conceived how It could be accompliabed. In passing the castle he noticed two old cannon. He got a few small tin canisters made • to flt the bore of the cannon and filled them with a variety of tree, shrub and grass seeds. The cannon was loaded In the usual way and fired at the rock from all sides. The little canisters on striking the rock burst; scattering the seeds in all directions. Many seeds were lost, but many more fell into the ledges or • cracks where there was a little moss or earth. These soon sbowed signs of life and in a few years graceful trees and pretty climbing plants all sown by gunpowder were growing and flourish- ing in nearly every recess of the for- merly bare, gray crag, clothing it with verdant beauty. The Name Sioux. The Indian name Sioux, as it ap- pears in sucb town names as Sioux Falls, Sioux City and Sioux Rapids, is usually pronounced "Soo," but some- times, in the east chiefly, that simple pronuuciation is not known. A com- mitteeman not long ago visited a school In New England, where he heard the pupils say "Si -ox" with complete ase- suraneee At a favorable opportunity he cuitetly spoke to the teacher of the eeror, 'saying, "You know, it is 'Soo,' whereupon she asked the attention of the school and solemnly announced: "You have all been pronouncing this word wrong.' It is not 'Si -ox,' but 'Soo - 01'" The committeeman lacked the courage to pursue the subjeet further. -Exchange. A Steasinte of sritecees.

If obstinate, use oxalic acid,* dissolving three ounces of the crystals in a pint of water. Wet the stain with the solutien and then steam it by holding over a kettle of boiling water or hang in the sunshine. The instant the stain disappears rinse well.
