The !*u eaeion to the Dragon Throne of China is hereditary, but U doc* not, however, ies end to any particular son of the r< igning j Jmp ror. The choice usually la;is on ho oldest son, but the Emperor is suppled to carefully watch and jnuge the abilities of his different sore and choose for the succession that one whinii would make the best Emperor I and give his people the wisest and most j peaceful rule. Should the family, how ever, die without making any selection, the princes of the family, being the brother* or uncles of the Emperor just deceased, meet together, and, from the genera tAoti succeeding that of the lute Emperor, select some on© of the family co occupy the throne. For those m^mbeis of the family who are not so fortunate ua to be selected for the succession great ducal palaces are selected, and assigned to them for royal residences. The for bidden ci:y in the heart of the city of Pekin, Is of course, the residence of the Emperor himself, and to this city Is brought the member of the family who Is •elected as the heir apparent. But out side of the forbidden city, Pekin is dotted with the great park ctr compound that surround these royal ducal palaces. The grounds usually range from two to five acres in area, and tire surrounded by high brick walls of great strength, culling them off completely from the sound and smells of the city outside. No ll*r* ditary Nobility. The Chinese linve always been opposed to nny ’hereditary nobillity, and while these ducal palaces are assign**! as im perial residences to sons of the reigning monarch, it is always with the provision that when the family of the occupant has, by the operation of Chinese law (which provide* that lmj>erlal descendants lose one degree m rank with each genera tion until the third), l>n re duced to the level of th© common people, the palaces then revert to the crown for reassignment to sons of the then reign ing monarch. It is on account of this peculiar latfr that the palaces of Pekin are occupied by an ever changing population, first princes of the blood. then their children and grandchildren In succession after them, then the vacation of the palace and Its reassignment again to the princes of the reigning family. The fourth generation from the royal family have no official title or rank, still all persons of royal descent, to the re motest generation, nre allowed to wear the yellow girdle indicative of their royal de acon. These yellow girdle men, or Huang Daizas, nre o-ne of the features of Pekin. Many of them have inherited wealth from thoir royal ancestors, and are prominent men In their community. But others have fared differently with fortune. Some hang around the imperial officers seeking the humblest employment; others are the scribes and teachers, and even domestic servant* may be found wearing the yellow girdle. Ducal ralocei for Our Envoys. Tho treaty which closed the French and English war in 18(10 first granted to the Powers the right to maintain their em bassies in the Chinese Capital. In the early days, before the building of the rail road from Tian Ttdn to Pekin, the line of travel was up the river to Tung Chow', and thane© Into tne capital through the east one of tho southern gates of the city. Entering Pekin through thio gate, the Forbidden City, with its imperial palaces, lay to the west, and it wai but natural that the first envoys should turn up the first street leading towards tho palaces. It so happen# that this street had been for centuries the quarter in which lodged the envoys from the tribute-paying neighbors of the Chinese empire, Corea ns, Mongols. Tibetan* and Indo-Chinese., and (he street which is known among the foreigners as Legs Hon- street is called by the Chinee* “the street of tribute nation*” The fact that the foreigners established themselves In this quarter hue in a large measure in fluenced the Chinese in their treatment of them, and while a mistake was made in thia respect, still the early ambassadors chose wisely in selecting for their resi dences the handsomest of the then unoc cupied paj.ices belonging to the crown. Tile Fine Lcgntion. The English selected a large palace which lay along the west side of a canal that drains the lakes within the Forbid den City and lies just north of Legation street. The quaintness and oriental mag nificence of these ducal palaces lias been largely preserved by the legations that have occupied them. The massive en trances stand unchanged; the open pavil ions with their lacquered pi liars and rich carvings are used as ballrooms. The courts and arbors and walks, with their rockeries and terraces, still stand; but the details of the dwelling houses have been changed to suit tlie requirements of mod ern comfort, and there Is little comparison between the severely simple furnishings of the former Chinese occupants and the luxuriously furnished salons of the mod ern ambassadors. Class window* and tight doors have replaced the old Chinese fret work and pap*r windows, while chimneys have been built in every available cor ner. The winters in Pekin are cold, and where the Chinese find comfort in wearing additional suits of clothes, tho white man insists on his fires to k* ep him warm, and the many chimneys built In the*© old palaces have so disturbed the spirit* of their former occupants that they have caused more and icussion than affaire of state. How Leant ion* Mere Defended. The heavy walls wh ch surround the*.* legation* have proved iff tive means of defense, while the chim.se moth xl or building houses up against each other and their numerous alkys and courts and narrow passages, and the r many Iwmk gates offer .sych facilities for “under ground” communications as can be found in no other city in the world. The British 1-gation. in which such a -mall band uf marine* has been able to defy Chinese hordes numbering tens of thousands, is adjoined on ba'h tlie north and south by tne com pounds of friendly Chinese.

In the winter time the succession of state dinners and lega tion balls were varied with ice carnivals, held in. the -skating rinks, which were made by flooding the t nnis courts in the legation grounds and housing them over with sheds of bamboo matting. Ever since the outbreak of the Japan ese war. when the moving armies of Chi nese soldiers from provinces where for eigners were unknown began to make it dangerous* io wander about the city as the legation people hod formerly done, there have been secret treaties, wave* of reform and great reactions, riots, be headings. hurried flights, rumors of up rising, abdications, the coming and going of legation guards, and now, at last, the deluge. Guy Morrison Walker. FISHING WITH BIRDS. The Chinamun T***f Cormorant* to Catch Hi* Prey. In this country the fisherman is a man who ueea hook and line or the net in fol lowing his profession and folks would stare with wonder to see him start off with a flock of birds to help in catching ffsh. Yet this is done in China. There the Chinaman may be seen in his sam pan surrounded by cormorants which have been trained to dash into the water at his order, seize the lish andi bring them t<> -the boat. Should a comorant capture fra**Ml a fish too large for it to carry alone, one of its companions will go to its assistance and together they will bring it in. If the Chinamun wishes to catch tur tles he will do bo with the aid of a suck ing-fish or remora. This fish has on top of its head a long disc or sucker by which Ift attaches itself beneath moving objects such as sharks, whales, and the bottoms of ships rather than make the effort necessary to independent movement. The fisherman fastens the remora to a long cord tied *to a brass ring about its tall and when he reaches tho turtle ground puts R overboard, faking care to keep it from the bottom of the boat. When a turtle passes near the remora darts beneath him and fastens to his shell. Struggle as ho will tho turtle can not loosen the grip of the sucker and tli© Chinaman has only to haul in on the line, bring the turtle up to the boat and take him aboard. 0\ GROWING OLD. The Lesson NVomon Have Learned. Young Old Nlon. Frederick Stanley Root in the New York Evening Post. When is a man okl? Women used to be old. They are so no longer. Golf di?pels that Illusion. Women nowadays simply go ahead and do the very things their daugh ters are doing. They keep young because it is a jvart of the philosophy of our time to keep young. I think it la Humboldt who dlecovered some Indians of a remote tribe whose environment wus so favorable that faces lined with seams were very raie, and Humboldt could not for the lito of him determine which was father and which was sou. One ret alls this observa- I tian of tho naturalist when meeting nil athletic matron in company with her daughters. Particularly so when the striking sentiment of a writer in the Lon don Spectator has controlled the life. “Age is a fcieve which strain* away either the dregs, and leaves behind all that Is finest, or strains away the finest elements and leave* only the dregs." The se-ret of eter nal youth it* neither lymph nor elixir of the Browti-Sequaid ouler. It is charac ter, plus fresh air und sui shine, plus Del aartean principles of physical expression. Women have Uuned these secrete. But when i.*> u man old? Ah, that de pends. I had a friend who was rejected tui a candidate for a v>< ant pulpit at 21), because lie wm* too ag<- i. A lung, pa triarchal b'uird fell upon his breast and killed his chance;*. On assuming command of oar united armies, Gen. Grant declared that he iolt too old to bo the chief of such young soldier*. And Gram was only 4.'. Th* colossal responsibility of Ids position promoted the feeling.

On* he other hand I have known college men, ten yt-ars out, who were “old as the ever lasting hills.” They slaved on a farm; .-.laved in college to make both end# meet; slaved to g< t a professional grip; ar.d will be slaves of the routine to the end. They wf-re born aged, and youth is the hostage given to hard-won success. 1 ray, then, the answer to my question HepencLs on the ixxint of view. To the boy of ten tho man of thirty Is contem poraneous with grandfathers. To the man of seventy that age is the vestibule of achievement. One looks up the peak of years; the other looks down. Some ! where between the two angles of vision the truth lies. But of one thing we may be certain—more men lay themselves ! aside than are laid aside by -the onward ! sweep of events. The man of seventy is | but a pioneer, and the man of seventy i thousand years is aiso but n pioneer ! breaking his way through the forests of j truth “In tho sounding labor-house vast.” Ago cannot wither the force of an in domitable and eager spirit. Men who are (old by the calendar may still be at the forefront of tho world’s battle, only they must not be antediluvian men, lamenting the downward tendency of thing*? and ex tolling their own youth as the only gol den age. He who invariably etkß “what is gCKng on?” can hardly be thought of as getting on! The patriarch who swings his hat and dances for joy when the ring ing of the college bell anwunces the vic tory of his alma mater crew will ever laugh you to scorn when you tell him he Is old. It is a mistake to suppose that youth, mooning early years, is the only period of achievement, of fresh en deavor of original undertaking. Sir Henry Spelman did not begin the study of sci ence until between fifry and sixty. Frank lin was flfty before he entered on the study on natural philosophy. It Is large ly our own fault if we allow the world to drift by and leave us -to the pity of those who will say, “Poor man! he belong?* to : former generation. The present ex ceeds his com prehension.’’ In conversation some time ago with a woman wll advanced, a lecturer upon the principles of what some peorde are pleased to te in the “menfal-sugges ion fad,” my companion calmly announced her Intention to live just as long as she cared to live. When weary of existence sue would shuffle off the mortal coil, and not bef re. Her remark reminded me of quaint old John Asgiil, who, I believe, wrote a book In (he last century, in wh ch he declared that death was simply the (©suit of a perverse habit which he in tended to avoid, and thus “play a trump on t*~.e dt sr.ro, er, and show himself a match for :he devil!” There may be some Intellectual "quackery” in this, and prob ably is. But certain phases of s?b r scientific teaching would se m to support Catching Fish With Birds. the op.nion that infirmities of ysars are really unn® e sary happenings. The late Dr. Hammond, perhaps not a first-late authority, hut a man of clever under stancir g, argued in the pages of a popu lar magazine that tills human machine which we call the body might be eo de velrped and perfected as to run on eter nally. And I have in my library a curious litth bock on "The Possibility of Net Dying." in which the idea broached by Dr. Hammond is elahoi;ed with much w. alth of illustration and ingenuity of reasoning Moral equilibrium is looked upon as the key to the situation., and with considerable plausibility. I notice that people who are quite free from ever lasting fretting and fuming, the bane of many households, are infinitely more youthful at sixty than people who run up stairs and dawn searching for worries in every closet. This whole question of getting on. in years is virtually a question of habit and temper of mind. The man. who is forever anxious to appear young gives himself away badly. He deceives nobody by his forced jauntiness of dress and behavior. Let him cease fussing and live on with plain calmness and good-humored philos ophy, keeping mind and body alert to all revivifying influences, and years wdll not count. Let him go ahead and do every thing as if he expected to live a thousand years. lam enough of a mental sug gestionlst to believe that his attitude of mind will be a very considerable factor in slaving oft rheumatic joints and shak ing hands. There is no greater humbug in the world than the humbug of suppos ing that a man cannot or ought not to do a certain thing because it is beyond a giv en age-mark. DROUGHT HAS REF.\ BROKEN. Short Crop of Sen island Cotton, But Good Staple. Beaufort, S.

Cities to Gain Representation at the Expense of the Hnral DUtrkla. Hearing of This Retail I poll the Strength of Political Parties—Psob al.le Basin of Representation—Rel ative Growth of States. From the New York Evening: Font. Washington, Axis. 21.—One result of the forthcoming reapporUor.m.tnt of congress ional districts which has been revealed by tlie announcement of the population of Greater New Ycrk is that the cities are going to gain greatly at the expense of the rural dstiicts. The population of New Yoik city is slightly above 3,400 010. This would give it, upon a basis of 20),- OOC pe sens to a congressional district, seventeen represtn atives la the rational House of Represcntati'. es. It now lias, wi h all of Long Island included, fifteen olit'li ts, and a part cf the sixteenth, or a! out fifteen districts ''net,” were the municipal lines made to conform with the congressional. This Is on the basis of 373,- 901 persons to a district. If New York on the present ratio of representation has fifteen districts, and by a greatly In ertoeed ratio would have seventeen, it Is evident that the rural regions will have a relatively smaller representation. Chicago's returns tell the some story. It now has from four and a half to five dis tricts ' net, ’ or seven district with out lying towns Included. According to the present census, unofficial returns, the city has about 1.700,000 pe pie, which would en tice it on ihe new ratio proposed to eight and a half districts instead. The result relatively speaking would be the same whatever the ratio tok n; 200,000 is here used for its convenience in reckoning ar.d because it doubtless approximates the lig ur rtai wll actually te choitn. Nor is it probable that this showing of New York and Chicago is unlike that cf the o he' great cities of "the country.' They are all growing so much faster th n h* rural regions that in the cu.ting up of the state into congressional and strict* they are sure to get a grea ly increased proportion of the result. Th S’ will have a decided bear ng upon tho strength of political partks. The great cities, more than the country, tend to be Democratic, although Philadelphia and Cleveland are notable exception* in the North, and St. Louis in the South. The larger foreign vale in the cities, and the further fact that Republican state legislatures so of ten exercise a distasteful control over city governments, contribute to this re sult. Since the Republicans find it now very hard to carry the House of Repre sentatives with the solid South and the. large cities of the North aga nst them, it is obvious that their task will be con siderably increased when the representa tion of the cities i3 made still greater. Hence this feature of the census returns is regarded in political circles here with the greatest interest. Any discussion of the relativa growth of the several states and its effect upon representation is now profitless, with the actual returns so near at hund. It is gen erally assumed, however, that the Wist has continued to grow' faster than the East, and the North slightly faster than the South, although the Influx of cotton manufacturing into the South mey pre vent a rep® itlon of past experiences. Be tween 3870 and I£9) the increase in popu lation throughout the country was about 24 per cent.; the rate in the North Atlan tic s c ion was 20 per cent.; in the South Atlantic (from Delaware to Florida), 16 per cent; in the North central (Ohio to Kansas3, 29 per cent.; in the South cen tral (Kentucky to Texas), 23 p r cent.; while the far West increased 71 per cent. Where po ula'ion to follow these gneral llr.es again, the now apportionment would be more favorable to the Republicans than before, except in so far as the trans fer of strength from the rural regions to the gr at cid s operated against them. But it is a narrow view of these great tendencies of American growth to consider them in the light of' party advantage. There are, to tie sure, certain social and economic revelations, of whleh perhaps parly divisions furnish some sign* that are worthy of atudy. The cities, for ex ample, regardless of their party prefer ences, are much more mercurial in their opinions than the country districts. In any great tidal wave they move further one way or the other; this is jprobably due to their quicker social life anc the greater Influence of the independent press. In contrasting election returns in 1892 with those of 1896, it seems as if many of the rural regions were unaware of the trans formation that had come over the Demo cratic party, while in the cities the over turn was tremendous. Indiana is a state without any city of the first rank, and the two parties pull there very evenly, without much regard to the issues for which they stand. In New York city, Chicago, and Boston, on the other hand, the revulsions of party feeling are very great, as was shown in 1886. The in n-easing strength of the city representa tion in the House of Representatives is thus likely to infuse an element of great uncertainty into the congressional cam paigns of the future. It was Congressman Cannon’s reply the other day, when asked concerning the political prospects of Illi nois: "Tell me what Cook county is going to do!” Little thought has yet been given to the new apportionment. It. is generally taken for granted that the ratio will be fixed at about 200,000, which is in round num bers six times the ratio adopted after our first census. With a total popula tion of 75,000,000 (exclusive of territories) that ratio would fill 373 congressional seats, to say nothing of the increase by the admission of new states. There are now 357 seats in the House, the appor tionment of 1980 providing for 356, and Utah supplying the remaining one. While theoretically almost every one would agree that the House is plenty large enough now, and that its membership should not be increased even from 357 to 375, the chnnces of Congress doing less for itself than that are very small. Ten years ago such a ratio was selected as would leave Vermont, which had increas ed in population but four one-hundredths of 1 per cent., in possession of what would entitle It to two districts. Nevada had declined in population, but ns it had but one district before no loss was pos sible. In this way all the changes in the quotas of states were in the direction of increases. This is much less embarrass ing to members of the House than when the slow-going states are cut down in rep resentation, as has sometimes been done, in which caso two sitting members often have to scramble for the same district. Sometimes the local gerrymander, how ever, produces this perplexity. Whether a 200,000 ratio would leave every state now having two representa tives or more with less than Its present quota cannot be de'eimined until the figures are all In. Massachusetts. If it held the same rale of growth that was exhibited b tween 1880 ar.d 1886 (wh n the s'ate census was taken), would undoubt edly get an add tlonW district at that ra to, to' is population would mn c ose to 2.801,100 Washington state in the decade between 1880 and 18W increased Its popu lation 365 is r cent., growing from 76,a 0 to 360,00".
