Men are continuallj seeking short

of success in life, but seldom, if ever.
succeed in their quest. Fortune, in
deed, mav be won bv some lucky
turn of the wheel, but without the
preparatory training involved in
earning it the supposedly "luckv
gambler is not fitted to use or retain
it. So that, even in the matter of
fortune hunting, labor is in the long
run the price of success. For suc
cess in other fields labor is indispen
sable. Easy roads to learning are
prepared by educational quacks, but
they all prove delusive, and in the
nature of things must be so, for an
art or calling that can easily be ac
quired must be of little value. The
economic law of supply and demand
applies even to learning, and where
the supply of any kind of knowledge
exceeds the demand, as is sure to be
the case when it can be acquired by
anybody in a few weeks, the knowl
edge itself becomes of little commer
cial value.
Moreover, knowledge easily ac
quired is easily lost, like the win-
nings of a gamester. There must
be a certain amount of labor devoted
to study if that which is acquired is
to remain in the mind and be of ser
vice. This is perhaps the reason
that the brilliant pupils in school are
seldom heard of in after life and whv
the supposed dullards become fa
mous. The brilliant fellows do not
study. They manage to get through
examinations almost by intuition or
with the merest hint from the books,
and forget a lesson as soon as it has
been recited. Not so with the dull
fellow, who has to tax his brain to
acquire Knowledge. ne may ue
slow, but he is sure. Having fixed
a thing in his mind by hard labor, it
becomes a part of himself; he never
loses it. And by constant accretion

Witlinut takinLT such a radical

for young people to recognize the
general truth of the proposition that
labor is the price of success, and
the other fact that anything which

IN CHINA'S CAPITAL.
A Description of the Stjualor and Splend
or of the City of Film.
Pekin must be seen to be under
stood. Not even in the East can
there' elsewhere be found so strange
a combination of squalor and splend
or. A person may live for 3-ears in
one of China's well-kept foreign set
tlements and continue to wonder
why railroads are not built, why
this, that, and the other is not done.
But when at last Pekin is visited all
becomes comprehensible. For if
the capital of the empire is utterly
neglected, if things which the Em
peror and his closest advisers can
see for themselves are allowed to go
to rack and ruin before their eyes,
why should anything be done to
open up and improve the rest of the
country?
The city wall's sixteen gates, sur
mounted by brick towers, built with
rows of portholes, are all locked and
barred soon after dark. Riding
over the open country is one of the
chief diversions in foreign residents'
monotonous lives, and if a pony
goes lame, or the time has been mis
calculated, and the gate reached a
few moments late, there is nothing
for it but resignation. Bribes,
threats, promises are of no avaih
and the night must be passed in a
dirty inn outside the wall.
Pekin, barring its filth and smelts,
differs much from other Chinese ci
ties. While the streets of the great
Southern towns often do not meas
ure more than citit or ten feet
across, those of Pekin are very wide.
Ail are unpaved, and most of them
almost impassable to foot passen
gers. Even on pony-back one runs
a real danger of being submerged in
a mud-hole. People who cannot
ride use mule-litters, sedan-chairs,
or two-wheeled springless 1 "Pekin
carts." which unless well furnished
with mattresses give their occupants
famous shakings. And the impossi
sible thoroughfares are lined by line
shops, the entire facades of many
being elaborately carved and entire
ly overlaid with gold-leaf.
In spite of mud-holes, heaps of
garbage, and other things too uoi-
some to describe, Pekiu's streets,
with their golden shops and pictur
esque sign-boards, their overflowing
life and gayety, are fascinating.
Their great width is often practical
ly contracted Ao narrowness by
tents, booths, movable restaurants,
annihilatory barbers' shops, etc.
The sides are crowded with buyers,
sellers, jugglers, fortune-tellers,
doctors and musicians. Through
the centre pass long strings of cam
els laden with brick tea for Russia,
or coals from Tartary, Manchu
men and women on horseback, and
innumerable processions manda
rins' chairs, preceded by twenty or
thirty retainers with umbrellas,
flags, banner
etc. ; brides escorted i
to their future home by troops of
i friends, small boys who explode fire-
their roast pi
gilt-paper pagodas,
pyramids of artificial flowers, and
other sacrificial offerings.

The yellow tiled walls surrounding
"Hwang Ching," or "Forbiduen Ci

reside, enclose about four square
miles. Formerly a good view of its
picturesque buildings, lakes, bridges
and artificial hilts could be ootained
from the famous marble bridge, but

! city wall is now denied them, and
as it is not possible to walk else
where, all who do not ride must ex
ercise within their own "com
pounds." They may skate, however,
in Winter, go to balls, and to plenty
of dinner-parties where rules of
precedence are observed with great
strictness.
The foreign legations, or prisons,
as they may almost be called, are as
a rule so tastefully furnished and ar
ranged as to make them at least
gilded cages. Some of the build
ings have been expressly construct
ed by the different governments,
while' others are Chinese palaces.
The English legation, which belongs
to the latter class, although accord
ing to foreign notions not altogeth
er convenient, is beautiful without
and within; the decoration of the
dining and drawing rooms being es
pecially fine. In Summer the diplo
mats and families migrate to a pic
turesque group of temples some for
ty miles or so distant from the city,
where they live in rather picnic
fashion.
The climate of Pekin is one of ex
tremes. The Winters are bitterly
cold, while the Summers, although
not as long, are far hotter than
those of Hong Ivong, which lies with
in the tropics. The atmosphere is
so luminous and clear that every ob
ject stands out against it with a sin
gular distinctness. The city glows
with color, and there is so much that
is beautiful to be seen that one al
most forgets the horrors.

.Much Abused Privileges of Women.
As between man and woman the
woman has much the best of it in
law. The wife may leave the hus
band whenever she likes and may
live by herself or go away with some
other woman's husband, and no law
can bring her back. But if it is the
husband who deserts his wife the
law is after him with a sharp stick,
and he must keep on supporting her,
even in cases where she has given
some cause for his desertion. In
most divorce suits the jury will find
for the woman on general principles,
because the average jury knows the
average superiority of the average
woman to the average man. If a
woman jilts an admirer there is
nothing for him but to swallow his
pride or his love or his wrath and
look for comfort elsewhere; but if a
man jilts a woman she can go to
court and collect 30,000 for breach
of promise; and although women
who resort to this way of making
money are usually adventuresses the
average jury is again on her side.
A man is responsible for his wife's
debts, and she can go to the big
shops and have silks, feathers and
velvets sent home and compel him
to pay for them, even though he has
to subsist on peanuts for months af
ter; but if he goes to buying cigars
or sporting clothes or goes to thea
tres too often she can call the law in
to stop him from squandering, and
not a penny of his debts is she liable
for. A woman may be worth a mil
lion dollars and her husband ma' be
earning 20 a week, and she can
compel him to give her ten of it,
while he cannot get a dollar from
her.

Last Week ia Trade Circles.
Special .'orreToi!U'nce.
New York, April 13th, 1803.
Business conditions during the
past week have continued generally
favorable. Retail trade in many
lines has been stimulated by the ad
vance of the spring season, and there
has been no check to the distribution
of manufactured goods from first
hands. The income tax decision of
the Supreme Court has had no effect
on the business situation, as the fact
i.s generally recognized that the par
tial failure of Government revenues
from this source will not seriously
embarrass the Treasury pending the
reassembling of Congress .in regular
session next December. A better
feeling steadily gains ground in the
business world. The comparative
strength of values of securities and
merchandise continues to be a no
ticeable feature of the situation, and
tends to lessen timidity with regard
to new ventures and "to encourage
hopefulness for the future. The
crop news is more cheerful. Spring
work on the farms is well advanced,
and, although the season is back
ward in many parts of the country,
the agricultural prospect is steadily
improving. Foreign trade returns
continue to show a preponderance of
merchandise imports, which in two
weeks at New York alone have in
creased nearly G,000,OOU; while ex
ports in the same period have been
practically the same as they were
last y ear. Treasury- returns of the
principal exports for March showed
a comparative decline of 3,233,231,
which was due in large part to lower
prices for cotton, wheat and provi
sions. The failures during last week
throughout the United States and
Canada aggregated 23L against 232
last year.
Cotton prices have advanced J of a
cent per pound at Liverpool and
3-1(5 of a cent per pound in New
York, and the Southern markets
have generally advanced in propor
tion. The strength reflects the ef
fect of more favorable reports from
the manufacturing centres, more ac
tive buying by Manchester and do
mestic -spinners, and the continu
ance of a bullish sentiment in the
speculative markets. Northern mill
takings so far this season have in
creased over (500,000 bales, and
Southern consumption has made a
compartjve gain of over 30,000 bales.
TV vi.i 1 4 1 - -X ii 1 n
gregated 3,7S0,23i bales, valued at
1(50,873,280, as against 4.478,301
bales, valued at 17(5.223,780, in se
ven months of the previous crop
year. In other words, 603.880,2(54
pounds more cotton have been
sent abroad this season for a money
return of 0,330,300 less than that
realized on the shipments for the
corresponding period last year. The
total visible supply of cotton for the
world is 4.310,323 bales, of which 3,
007,120 are American, against 4,000,-
001 bales, and 3,3b0,801 bales res
pectively last' year. Receipts last
week at all interior towns, 46,233
bales. Receipts from the planta
tions, 63,436 bales. Crop in sight
0.243.248 bales.
Wheat prices have declined I to I
of a cent per bushel, and corn values
have receded I to 1 cent per bushel.
Although the -interior movement
of both cereals has continued small,
visible stocks have decreased and
there has been a steady fair demand
for export. The reduction of wheat
stocks is steadily in progress in this
country and in Europe; but it has
not been sufficient to satisfy bullish
expectations, and in view of the ad
vancing season has had little effect
as a stimulant to investment de
mand. The chief factor in the wheat
market which has weakened prices
has been the more favorable ac
counts concerning both foreign and
domestic crop conditions. The
March returns to the Federal De
partment of Agriculture made the
average condition of winter wheat
3.3 per cent, lower than it was at
, ti10 corresponding period last year;
j but unofficial advices indicate that
j tjiere i!as been considerable improve-
ment in the outlook since April 1st.
The spring seeding of wheat and oats
from the Northwest, have made en
couraging progress.
Crude oil prices have further ad
vanced, and are now 60 per cent,
higher than thev were ten days ago,
while refined oil within the last
month has been marked up 1J cents
per gallon. The rise is variously at
tributed to manipulation and to the
effect of greatly reduced supplies;
and it is by many regarded as a
shrewd movement of the Standard
Oil Trust to stimulate production
through the development of new ter
ritory by independent capital, which
the renewed profitableness of the
business will encourage.

How to Make Money.
I understand now why I could not
make money with the plater that I
hud. There are so many things
about the plating business that I
did not understand. It was not un
til I saw the advertisement of Gray
Co., Plating Works, Columbus,
Ohio, that I commenced to make
money. The Royal Plater is sent
by this house and all the trade se
crets connected with the plating
business, such as are necessary in
the great gold and silver plating
factories are given free. As soon
as I got the Royal Plater I made
money right along. Last week I
cleared 72.30, and everybody is de
lighted with m' work. Anyone who
has had trouble with their plating
machines, as I have, should send to
the above firm and obtain their cir
culars, and they will be able to make
lots of money as I have done. The
Royal Plater is fitted out complete,
everything ready for business; j-ou
do not have to spend a cent for ma
terials During these hard times
this information is valuable.
NOT A SICK DAY
For Over Thirty Years!
RESULT OF VSISQ
AYER'SPILLS
"Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty
yeara have kept me in good health,
never having had a sick day in all that
time. Before I was twenty I suffered
almost continually as a result of con
stipationfrom dyspepsia, headacheR,
neuralgia, or loiIs and other eruptive
diseases. When I became convinced
v.. '.-.'r.. ... ,. "'.Tvnrrir-':;
- "m
that nine-tenths of my troubles were
caused by constipation, I began the use
of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfac
tory results, never having a single
attack that did not readily yield to this
remedy. My wife, who had been an
invalid for years, also began to use
Ayer's Pills, and lier health was quickly
restored. Wit'i my children I had no
ticed that neatly all their ailments were
preceded by constipation, and I soon
had the pleasure of knowing that with
children as with parents, Ayer's rills,
if taken in season, avert all danger of
sickness." II. 'Wettsteix, Byron, 111.
