The best man at the wedding Is some

Whatever views may be held of

Russia Is stealthy and tireless. Even
while its armies were being defeated in
Manchuria fftid Its throne was shaken
by revolt. It was secretly fastening a
Bnner grip on ports of the Chinese em
pire. The fact that Russia has a line
of military posts across the northern
part of the Chinese empire has beel
kept secret from the world. It was re
vealed by on Indiscreet publication In
a Russian provincial newspaper. Rus
sia's purpose, beyond the satlwfylng of
Its old lust for dominion, cannot be de
termined. Whatever It Is the powers
Interested In maintaining China's terrl
torial Integrity are directly affected.

without adding a few new stones to

value. Of course famous crowns, with'
associations attached, that have recent'

rich Americans remain as first designed,
for even an American shows some sen
timent when It costs blm a fortune to
Indulge In rich historic Jewels, but
otherwise diamond and pearl end emer

Little Interest has been shown In the
visit of a Chinese commission of in
jiulry to this country, but It deserves
the attention of those who wish te nn
derstaud the clvllltlug forcee at work
In the world. If the pinna which tli
government of China has In view are
worked out utveafully-Hnd tlie In
vestigations of the commission are pre
liminary, to putting them Into execution
a new method of dealing with the
East will have to be adopted by the
Western government. The Dowager
Empress announced a few months ago
that a constitution would be granted
to China In ten years, and that eome of
the leading men of the empire were to
go abroad to study the governmental
systems of other countries with a view
to adopting them In a form modified
to meet the needs of China. 1 The com
missioners were to study not only the
political Institutions, but the systems of
education and the business methods of
the world as well. Boon after the ar
rival of the commissioners In this coun
try It was observed that they were par
ticularly Interested In the American
public school system, as It la Intended
to open many thousand new schools In
China for the Instruction of the people.
so that they may be qualified to govern
themselves when representative Institu
tions are established. China already
has an army of a hundred thousand
men trained In modern European army
tactics. It Is said that this army will
be Increased to a million within a few
years, and that large quautlttea of mod
ern fortification guna have been order
ed for use In the defense of the empire.
Men familiar with the races of the East
regard the Chinese as superior to tbd
Japanese, lu that they are more trust
worthy, more patient and more stable.
The Chinese are conservative, and have
been slow In accepting Western Ideas;
but they have at last concluded to
march with the procession Instead of
standing at one side while the rest of
the world smiles amiably at their pe
culiarities or Jeer at their weakness,
Of the late Sir Edward Thornton, the
British diplomat, who lived to be al
most ninety years of age. It Is said that
bis life was spent In taking no exercise.
He would take a cab to cross the street
and be-never would walk upstairs If an
elevator was accessible. Yet he was the
traditional "picture" of health and suf
fered little from small or lnrge ailments.
Nor Is the case of Sir Edward Thornton
an Isolated one. There are many In
stances of men carefully avoiding exer
cise of a physical kind and still attain
ing great age. On the other band. It Is
well established that noted athletes do
not, as a rule, enjoy long Hie. The two
circumstances, taken together, appear to
cast some doubt upon the modern
theory that muscular activity la essen
tial to longevity or at least to good
health. They rather support the doc
trine, held by certain German biolo
gists, that all physical exercise after a
man has attained middle age la at the
expense of vital force. There is, at
least, something to be said on both sides
of the question so far as middle-aged
people are concerned. Those who main
tain the desirability of exercise will, of
course, assert that Sir Edward Thorn
ton attained his great age in spite of
his abstention from exercise rather
than because of It, and that be might
have lived many years longer if be bad
lived an active physical life. This,
however, Is mere hypothesis which may
fairly be met by pointing out that many
people who devote themselves most vig
orously to exercise die before they
reach middle age. If the rule holds
good In one case It ought to bold good
In the other and on the face of It the
nonexerclse people would seem to have
the better of it Sir Edward Thornton's
case at least affords proof that a man
may Ilvo almost to the century mark
without taking physical exercise. It
may lie admitted, of course, that this
Is a matter In which one man's meat,
may be another man's poison. Individ
ual Idiosyncrasy Is a strong factor In
the 'problem. Active physical exercise
may not be necessary nor even advis
able for some men, while it Is essential
to the health of others. In such affairs
every man must find out what la bene
ficial for himself without reference to
the requirements of any other man.
There Is no hard-and-fast rule for phy
sical exercise any more than there Is
such a rule for diet There Is, on the
contrary, every reason to conclude that
though Borne men will benefit by vig
orous physical activity other men will
be better off with none at all at least
after the culmination of their bodily
development "When I could ride 1
never walked ; when I could sit I never
stood; I slept ns long as I could"
this was the secret of longevity once re
vealed by a centenarian. It Is not a
particularly Inspiring formula and It
makes laziness the chief end of man.
Yet there Is some reason to suspect
that he who desires mere length of
years rather than achievement or re
nown will do well to consider the pros
pects held out by the languid rather
than the strenuous life. Certainly the
human machine, like all other machines,
may be overworked.

"American Irrigation was old when

story of a thrifty, home loving and
semi-cultured people, concerning whose

the engineers completed the plan for
an extensive Irrigation work Involv
ing some rather novel engineering fea

of which Is that of lifting the water
of the Truckee River Into the great
canal, which will carry them over Into
the Carson Rlrer reservoir, whence
they are diverted Into laterals and car
ried out upon the desert. When com
pleted the Trarkee-Carson works will
cost more than fO.OOO.OQO and render
productive more than 40,0f0 acres now
absolutely worthless, but which, when

Yes, She Could Help lllra I'p.
A well-known bishop of Tennessee
waa taking his customary stroll through
tbe park the ntlier morning. lie hap
pened to sit down on one of the benches
there. Now the bishop Is a very great
man, not only In the'MethodlHt Church
but in embonpoint as well. Ills weight
proved too much for the bench, which
collapsed, spilling him oil the ground.
About this time a little girl, rolling a
boop along, snw the reverend gentleman
prostrate and offered ber assistance.
"But, my little girl," said the bishop,
do you .think you could help such a
great, beavy man to bis feet?" ,
"Oh, yes," replied the little girl, "I've
helped grnndpn lots of times when he's
been even drunker than you are." Lip

bis snakeshlp forced the gas company
to give Davenport a flat rate on hi ga
