Something over a year ago a Chi nese Christian girl named Marguerite Wang came to America, with the in tention of obtaining an education. She remained here a .year, and was just about to enter a woman's college when she received word that her father had betrothed her to a man whom she had never seen. Under the consular reg ulations she was forced to return to her home, foregoing her education, to marry this man. Miss Hartford, one of the principal workers in the Foo-Chow mission, who was here on a visit, ac companied her on her return. On the same ship with them was Li Hun Chang and his suite. The viceroy noticed the Chinese girl, and sent his secretary, Lord Li, to inquire about her. A day or two later he sent word he would like to talk with Marguerite and Miss Hartford. They went to see him and told him the story of the girl's attempt to obtain an education. The viceroy was much pleased with his countrywoman and seemed to take a great interest in her. He told her and Miss Hartford about the woman's con gress, which is to be held in London in 1898, and said that he wanted the women, of China to be represented at the congress. After a little talk he told Marguerite that he would appoint her to represent China, and its women at the congress. He then asked Miss Hartford if she did not .-know of some other woman in China that was qualified to be a dele cat to the congress. Miss Hartford at once recommended to liim Dr. Hit King Eng, the first Chinese woman to study medicine. Some years ago sh left China to come to America, and after a course in the woman's medical school at Philadelphia she received her degree. She then returned to China and became one of the most valuable members of the Foo Chow mission where she now is. Li Hung Chang was much interested in, the story and after a few questions said that she should be appointed as the second woman to at tend the congress. So China will be represented at the woman s congress and by two Christian women. - After the viceroy's arrival in China he made the appointment in a formal manner St. Paul Pioneer Press, Gid Hatt and Charley Jonea are as sociated together down at Charley's old plaoe in thd tonsorisl business.

It Was to HI. Father, Who Was a Duke In Scotland. This world has become but a very small place, yet it is not every day that the fact is so forcefully demonstrated as it was to a certain dootor of whoan a, western paper tails. This doctor had under his care in the hospital a cow boy from one of the range6 of norther Montana, who, when-, he became con valescent, one day walked into the doc tor's house to thank him for his services and say goodrby. As he wae about to leave the office, the cowboy remarked "Doctor, I understand that you are soon to set off on a trip to tha other side of the water, and that before you return you intend to visit Scotland, If such is the case, I should like to give you a letter to some friends of mine." Tho doctor TepJied that he did intend to visit Scotland, and that he should be pleased to take charge of the letter. Thereupon the , enwhreir ,- mivie a brier, leuer, seaieu up, ttnu addressed the envelope to let us say tbe "duko of Craige" at a castle in Scotland. When he handed it to the doctor, that gentleman looked at the address rather dubiously, and then asked, in a voice that was possibly a little cold: "Is this gentleman an ac quointance of yours?" "Well, yes," replied the ranch-rider, "I think it quite probable he will re member me. He is my father, and I shall be glad to have you fall on him and tell him I'on getting along all rijsht." ' Tha doctor took the lotter, and when he left for the old world had every in tention of cultivating the acquaintance of the Scottish noblemun, as he had already cultivated the acquaintance of his son. louth's Companion.

Barely Sufficient to Keep Soul and Body Together. As for the distribution of wages, the pay of a woman amounts to three-quarters of that of a man, that of a boy or girl of 12 to 17 years to one-half, that of a child under 12 years, to one-third of a grown man's wages, says the Catholic World. The advantage arising for the factories from women's and children's wages is such that no humanitarian at tempts have been as yet able to solve that harassing problem in any civilized country. But as the wages of working men in Russia are absolutely reduced to a minimum and scarcely sufficient to keep soul and body together for more than 13 "hours' toil it is a cruel mind' gross injustice to cut working women's wages by a third, since tne nrst neces sarics of life are alike in men and wom en regardless of sex. The monthly wages of an adult laborer, man or wom an, m Jingiana are aya tizi.uo per cent) , in America 4 4-5 (379.14 per cent.) , times greater than the wages of alike laborer in the Moscow factories. Since, however, the duration of working time in the three countries is different, Mr, Dtmentieff has reduced the compari son of wages per hour and come to the conclusion that wages in England are bv 284.5 per cent., in Massachusetts by 423 per cent, higher than those in the Moscow factories. If we make a good, allowance for the higher cost of living iu America which, however, is to be understood cum gramo salis, only the luxuries of life being dearer here, not the necessaries, like meat, flour, bread, still no comparison can be drawn be tween the mode of living of an Ameri can and a Russian laborer.

A Schilling ft Company Sau brancisco Poisonous Cooking Utensils. The subject of pure food has long been a pet theme of legislators, and I admit that the discussions on the subject have done a great deal of good. I believe, however, that, pure and wholesome uten sils in which to cook tbe food are of more importance than the food itself. Only those who are familiar with the n flairs of large kitchens are aware of the eternal vigilance which prevents the formation of chemical poisons in culinary utensils. Is there the same watchfulness in the kithens of cheap toting houses? I trust the day is not far distant when rigorous laws will be passed compelling boards of health to inspect the cooking utensils of every establishment in which iood is served to the public. My first inspection ot the kitchen of the restaurants at the i.ationul capital made me shudder. One of tho utensils which was in daily use was so covered with verdigris that the original color of the metal could not be been. Tbe utensil whs a steam-heated oy ster stew pan. The hands even of the colored attendant were stained green from contact with the pan. I ques tioned the servant, and she told me that 1 was first person to complain to her about the condition of the pan. She went on to say that she "could not wash the 'green stuff' olT her hands."

It Is a well-known fact that paper money is liable to transfer bacteria from one person to another, and thus io spread coiitagioundisenses. It is nlso supposed that coins, which are more in circulation than notes, might similar ly act as agents for spreading diseae, and investigation in that direction were mode at tlie Vienna university when Auntria changed It currency to the gold basis. A-report aliout his ob servations waa receutly published by Dr. Vincent In the Vienna Medical Ga zette, in which be state thut metals act, so to Km-ok, as antiseptics in regard to bacteria, or microbes, the fact being that these nibic rosea pic organisms have but a very short lease of life while on metals. The destroying influences of metals Increase with their teniiierature, and aUto with tlie cloe touch of the tnicro-oriranlMnia with the metal. At a temperature of 95 to 1(H) degrees Fahren heit, which U common In the Kx-ket where money is curried, the destruction of microbes occur within three hours. Tbe various metals Used for coins are somewhat different In this respect, nil ver being the twt antiseptic and gold the leat.
