It is understood that the Winnipeg wholesale liquor dealers are taking all their consignments out of bond with the expectation that the revenue tax will be inoreased. Provinoial Detective Rogers has returned to Toronto from Florida with J. C. Bay, . the Grand Trunk railway clerk who absconded. lhe Ontario Legislature rejeced Mr, Meredith's motion for biennial sessions hy a vote of 26 to 51. McCallum, (Proustant Protective Association), McN ughfon (Patron of Industry), and Campheil (Equal Rights), voted with the Government. The reason the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Toronto did not turn out in a body on March 17, was because it determined to forego the expense of a turn out and send the money thus saved to Hon. Edward Blake for the use of the Irish Parliamentary par'y. Iu the House today President Gardner of the Board ot Agriculture said tha* until Ihe Government received further information in regard to the freedom of Canada from pleuropneumonia among cattle, they would not decide the question of the admission of Canadian cattle into England. Colonel Herchmer of Regna, commissioner of the Northwest Mounted Police, has g**ne to Ottawa. He has business with the Militia Department in connection with the annual reports of the police to be submitted to Parliament this session, and certain changes contemplated in the foroe. At the Sarnia assizes John Conn, of Kingston, formerly a well known deiective, was tried tm a charge of forging the name of Anthony Gilroy to some noies and pacing them on a St. Thomas bank. The jury failed to agree and the defendant was held over to the next assizes, bail being fixed at $8,000. The Earl of Derby the late Governor- General of Canada, made an eloquent and earnest plea on behalf of Canada before the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. He said that the English capitalists should look more carefully than they do into the excellent chances for investment that the Canadian mines.forests and agricultural interests offer. General Booth, of the Salvation Army, will come to Uanada this summer, it is announced. He proposes making a four months' "Jubilee Salvation campaign" throughout the Dominion and the United S ate*-. I he grneml has practically decided to plan' the "Salvation over-the-sea-colony" in Sou> h Africa, or in Australia, ao it will not be * sUblished in Canada. The Right Hon. Herbert Gladstone, president of the Biitish Board of Agriculture, will receive in April a deputation from the Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, and from the Royal Society, in reference to the cattle trade in Great Britain. These deputations will urge proposals antagonistic to Canada's cattle export trade, and to this end will make strong representations urging that all imported cattle shall be slaughtered at the port of landing. Glasgow and Liverpool shippers ridicule the bill which Mr. Mulock has introduced in the Canadian Houae of Commons proposing that the Government should establish a maximum steamship rate for the transportation of cattle. A prominent cattle shipper, in speaking of the proposal of the bill, said that the Government might as well be asked to fix the price of a man's dinner. The present Canadian rates scarcely afforded living wages, and are much Hess than the United States rate. Tho Hon. Mr. Bowell has reoeived a communication from the High Commissioner, sp >akii'g of the arrival of Britiah Columbia hop-* in Gieat Britain. Sir Charles Tupper Bay* the consignment has attracted great attention. Norman k Co., Ltd.,of London, who have a large connection among brewers in the old country write him aB follows: "Many sample lots of the past seison's fgrowth which have reached this country lave given great satisfaction, and many of our brewing friends have advised us,su'*ject to the East Kent character being maintained, that British Columbia hops are pruferred to any that are imported, and further, would cairy all before them." The Highest Authority In America. Printers Ink, the highest newspaper authority in Amerioa, speaks thus of The Daily Telegram- "Did you ever hear of a plaoe called Nanaimo? It is on the Island of Vancouver and 75 miles from Victoria. If you live in what you consider an enterprising city and believe that your looal daily paper is first- class, write to the publisher of The Daily TELEORAM, Nuni.imo, British Columbia, and ask for a ��ai"rle copy of his paper, and when you obt"'-,i i; ompare it with your home production. Go down and talk with the publisher about it afterwards, and ask him why it is that he can't print as good a paper, or obtain as good a looal patronage, or have his paper as free from dead-head or objectionable advertisements? A useful lesson, may be learned from Nanaimo." Thi Telegram for fine job printing. Sim 1 ***��� 2 NANAIM", B. C, SUNDAY, MARCH 25, 1894. BRIGANDAGE IN CHINA. lTen She Sovereign's Escort U aot me- ��� li.-rt.Ml by Highway Kobbors. Brigandage prevails in Chiori to a prent- er extent than in any country in the world. and is by no means confined to the more anarselv populated regions, but It is practised in the vicinity of the largest citie-*. Traveling in tlie neighborhood of Pekin itself hftri.in late years grown quite ganger ous from thi- cans���that is, for natives, for curiously enough the armed gangs of bandits whom I have myself met iu thi wilds of Mongolia, ii'*ar the Amoor, with out suffering any molesation, seldon attack the European wayfarer. The daring of these pigtail***! knights of the road, even at this date, would put their confreres of Albania or Sicily to the blush, aud no exploit of any European bandit ean hope to view with the following audacious ooup by a gain: of desperadoes who have long infested the low range of hills lying to the went of Pekin. Recently tbe Emperor and hia oourt, at tended by a reti;,ue nnmbering many thousands of men and women, courtier.-* and soldiers, were returning from the palace by tiie large lake in the park of Ynci Ming Yuen, distant only eiu'lit miles from the walls of the capital, to the winter palace inside the "Forbidden City," when in the night the tail end of till vast imperial procession was suddenly cut off by a well organized gang of bandits. The main part ot the procession passed oa in blissful ignorance of the exciting ep iBodes behind. Little or no resistance wns made, the eunuchs and ordinary attendants being either too terrified by the blood thirsty appearance of the brigands, or. what is quite as likely, were too guoi. SilrEROR OF CHINA. friends with them to tight, and s number of carts and litters containing the pliant phernalia of the court, furs, vessels, ornaments, embroideries, etc., aa well as ov r four thousand ounces of silver ia specie rrmmm _*icd off by the robbers, who a!-** u'tf-reared several eunuchs, one or two of whom are said to be favorites of the Eiu peror. It waa only next morning that the news of aais outrage reached the city, when im mediately great preparatio g for capturing the brigands were sat on foot, some fifte-n hundred soldiers being despatched to hunt them down. Great efforts were being made to keep tho affair from the ears of the J-Lmperor. aa well as from the foreign residents of Peking, and it is very unlikely that the former will ever hear of it. "l'he Vioeroy, Li Hung Chang, has giver, one more instance of his readiness to adopt Western ideas where they may some day add to Chi'ia's power to cope with the foreigner on the field and afloat, by the building of a large medical college, which he opened on the lilth nit, at Tientsin, in connection with tho naval service. This is the first institution of the kind worth speaking of, started by the Chinese government, which, despite its craze tor Western arms and foreign ships of war. has hitherto made no provision whatever for treating ils wounded. The college is upon an extensive scale and will be under the charge of a die'in guished graduate of Dublin University, who was selected for the post by the la .��� Sir A. Clarke. The establishment of tii* oollege ie largely due to the personal ef forts of Dr. Irwin, tlie Viceroy's medical attendant, and to a talented Canadian lady, Dr. King, who exercised much influence upou the late Lady Li, and she in turn had long urged the Viceroy to lay the fonnua tion of an institution where the Chinese might be taught the knowledge of th>* West in the healing art in which both the Viceroy and his late wife strongly believed. Already some twenty, well educated, English speaking young Cliinanien linve entered the college and teaching has nl ready commenced. The opening of th new institution was attended by a plbasing ceremonial, In which theforei n and Clmi see officials displayed the most friend.. relations and gave uiteranoe to tlie most amicable sentiments toward each other. A very numerous and powerful politica. association in Japan, called the "Dai Nip U HUWG OMAN. pen Society," is reported to have recently taken the following oath at a publie meet ing in Tokia: " We swear to oarry out the strict enforcement of the present treaties, and to effeot redress in ths Chishlma ease, and we hereby pledge eurselves te sur mount all difficulties, and, if necessary, to sacrifice our lives to that end. We further swear to effect the framing of new treaties upon fair and equal term*."

THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA. Cutting down the estimates seems to be the order of the day at Ottawa. There is a decrease of 5708,598 in public works. The appropriations for British Columbia have been largely reduced. The item for steam service between Victoria and San Francisco s reduced from $117,640 to ?5,000; public buildings improvements, from $5,000 to $2,000; and dredging and river improvements, from $87,000 to $56,000. The amount asked for consolidated fund is $37,- 321,806, and the total amount for all purposes, including that charged to capital, is $40,038,692, or $4,495,521 less than for 1893-4. British Columbia has reuson to complain of the amount nf the appropriations, as altogether insufficient. The harbors and rivers of the province need to be improved, and the sum which it is now proposed shall b- voted by parliament for this purpose will accomplish very little. Lights and buoys are needed to make the navigation of the coast waters safer. Reliable maps and charts should also be provided. All this requires a liberal expenditure, and that is quite out of the question with the paltry pittance promised. Economy is a good thing in its place, but it ought not to be carried too far, and the claims of justice ought to be considered in making the appropriation. It does not seem to us that this has been done in the case of British Columbia in framing the estimates now before the House. British Columbia contributes a great deal of money every year to the revenues of the Dominion. This fact ought not to be forgotten by the Government at Ottawa, as it seems to be. It is claimed that this proviuce contributes to the treasury of the Dominion more than twice as much per head of her population,as does any other province of the confederation. If this claim be aa well founded as we think it is, British Columbia's claim for more liberal treatment, in the matter of appropriations for iiec:*stry public improvements ought to be considered aad allowed. The appropriations ought to be iu some sort proportional to our contributions to the revenue. All we ask is simple justice. This is not done by cutting down the scanty appropriations of last year to such a figure that the amounts proposed to be granted might almost as well be refuse**! altogether, for any good they will do. Let the Government be assured that their scanty appropriations will cause much disappointment and dissatisfaction among their supporters in this provinoe. The following table, published in the ���Colonist of Friday, which has come to hand since the above was written,shows the amount per head contributed to the revenue of the Dominion by the people in each province of the Dominion respectively : Per Capita. Ootario $ 5.90 Quebec 7,50 New Brunswick 4.25 Nova Scotia 8.36 Manitoba 7.20 P. E. Island 1.80 British Columbia 15 00 This of course includes both customs duties and excise. A large part of the g ods imported in British Columbia is intended for the provinces east of us. The duty levied upon them is included in the above, and goes to the credit of this Province in calculating the amount per head contributed by its people to the revenue of the Dominion. This to a very great extent accounts for our apparently high rate of taxation, as compared with the people of the other provinces, nevertheless we think that, considering the large amount that British Columbia contributes every year to the revenue of the Dominion, she is fairly entitled to generous treatment in the appropriations, and that they ought not to be ont down, as they have been this year, to a figure that makes them hardly worth considering���in fact, almost useless for carrying out works of improvement much needed by the Province. MS. GLADSTONE IN THE CONFESSIONAL. It has been reported tbat the real cause of Mr. Gladstone's retirement is, that he judges the time has oome when he ought to begin to pay special attention to his spirit ual affairs���"make hia soul," aa his Irish admirers say. It is a principle generally admitted by most Christians, tbat confession is good for the soul. Therefore if Mr. Gladstone is looking after his spiritual concerns, as some say he is, he very properly begins by confessing his faults. In a letter to the chairman of the Midlothian Liberals, thanking him for the generous desire that he, Mr. Gladstone, should not cease to represent Midlothian, the Grand Old Man refers to his career, confesses that it has been chargeable with many errors of judgment, but hopes th*it it was governed by a desire for strict justice. Mr. Gladstone is to be congratulated on his candid confession. His career has certainly been marked by errors of judgment. His sudden adoption of Home Rule, in order to keep himself and his party in office, was one of the greatest of them from the point of view of a patriotic British statesman It has caused infinite disturbance in the politics of the United Kingdom, and may lead io the future to worse results, even to civil war itself, whether it is granted or not. Another very serious error of judgment, to call it by no worse name, was his desertion of the heroic General Gordon, leaving him to be miserably murdered in Khartoum by his enemies. Still another was his shameful desertion of the British party in the Transvaal, handing them over to the tender mercies of tho insurgent Boers, which certainly was not too great. I anyone wishes to know the state of affairs brought about in tbe Transvaal by Mr. Gladstone's hasty evacua tion of it, he had better read Mr. Ryder Haggard's interesting story of "Jess," and he will have some idea of it. The evacuation of the Transvaal afier the defeat of General Sir George Colley's force at Majuba Hill, shook British power in South Africa to its centre, and produced results which another bloody war may be required to correct. Another again of his errors of judgment has been to set class against class in England, sb he has done, calling men of education and intelligence, who happened to be opposed to his policy, the classes, and pandering on all occasions to the prejudices of the ignorant and uneducated masses. These are only a few instances out of many of Mr. Gladstone's errors nf judgment and want of patriotism, which a distinguished writer says it is doubtful if he possesses at all, as the word is commonly understood. But how he can reconcile his undoubted desertion of General Gordon, his abandonment of the loyal Boers and British settlers in the Transvaal to the meroy of their enemies, and his desire to hand over the loyal Protestants of Ulster to be ruled by their hereditary and religious enemies, with that strict desire for justice of which he boasts is hard to understand. Tbat Mr. Gladstone has all his life pursued the course which seemed to profit most his personal ambition, regardless of every other consideration which ought to weigh with a British statesman, cannot be doubted, and no amount of canting by himself or foolish talk by silly and ignorant admirers will alter the fact. Mr. Gladstone has at last retired, borne down, as is generally believed, by the iulirnmies of old age; but it would have been better far for his reputation as a statesman if he had retired ten years ago. Mr. Gladstone is reported to be better. The condition of his eyes is much the same. He has consulted a distinguished oculist, who has advised him that the operation for the removal of the cataraot on his eye can be performed without the smallest danger. Mrs. Gladstone is reported not to be at all well. It is proposed by the Liberals to preseut a nation tl testimonial to Mr. Gladstone for his services in their cause. Toe political oommitlee of the National Liberal Club will act us a committee ou the memorial. Liberal organizations throughout the United Kingdom are expected to assist in collecting money for the memorial. Mr. Jamks Huddart, the promoter of the proposed new Canadian Pacific mail route from England to Australia, in an interview on Wednesday last, expressed himself as hopeful of obtaining all the advantages and concessions, which were the object of his visit to London. Sir Charles Tupper also said on Wednesday, that during the preceding week he had been approached by representatives from Liverpool, Milford Haven, Southampton, Swansea, Bristol, Plymouth, and Cork, who pointed out the respective advantages claimed by these towns as ports of departure or ports of call for the new Atlantic line. No seleotion of any English port for either purpose has yet beeu made, and probably will not be till all the other arrangements have first been completed. INSURANCE REAL. ESTATE It appears that Representative Wilson, of Washington, is making enquiries as to the contraols whioh the United State. Treasury Department is said to have mad. with a British Columbia ooal company, for supplying $100,000 worth of coal to the Amerioan ve.sels which will be employed in patroling Behring Sea. He regards the contract as a discrimination in favor of British interests. Wilson claims to have official information that the contract was made with the Comox mines of Vanoouver Island although there are abundant ooal supplies in the Puget Sound country. Well, what of it? There is no doubt plenty of ooal of an inferior quality in the Puget Sound country, but none of it is fit for steaming purpose's. The inferior quality of Puget Sound ooal, has been proved long ago by the officers of the American navy. In making a contract for Vancouver Island coal for ships sent to cruise in Behring Sea, the Amerioan Government is not discriminating against Puget Sound coal. It is simply purchasing ooal of excellent steaming quality, suoh as it oould not procure in the cities along Paget Sound. This is not discrimination; it is simply ordinary business prudence, baying at th. cheapest prioe ooal suited for its purpose in a neighboring market, instead of buying at home coal known by experience not to be suitable. The action of the Amerioan. Government in this matter is deserving of praise, and cot of blame.

In the store window of Mr. E. Merman there is a plan of the proposed cycling track and sporting ground.

All that remains now iB for some energetic few to organize and push the matter to an issue. Plenty of support will be forthcoming if it is only asked for. Dr. Eberts is very enthusiastic about the proposition and hopes that the ground will be ready by June. At the Wellington Methodise church on Friday evening a grand concert was given by the Y.M.C.A, including many friends from Nanaimo. Among thorn who contributed to the evening'* entertainments were Miss Gowland who rendered two solos in her usual good manner being accompanied by Miss Pollock. A reading by Miss Sloan was considered very good. Miss K. McGill both as au instrumentalist and vocalist g��ve great satisfaction. The club swinging by Mr. H. Stewart was thought to be immense. Miss A. Glaholm was another pleasing vooalist. As a pianist Miss K. Smith exhibited some skill in exeoution. The genial Mr. J.

Carleton should be respected and earnestly encouraged; not because of incomparable performances, but because of inoentive to survival provided by htm for a class of music neglected or outraged by almost every other musical combination. In the face of blatant faroe and burlesque, which have been elevated to the station which was held by comic opera years ago, Mr. Carleton has hazarded muoh capital aod reputation in a brave endeavor to sustain an art apparently growing out of taste. There is no sort of entertainment so delightful as lyric and comic opera. It is easy to recognize an earnest effort to rehabilitate English opera, and Mr. Carleton Bhould receive the recognition he bo strongly merits. It is said that the Carleton Company gives an unusually olever rendition of "Nanon," their best known work, the familiar numbers of the score being sung with accuracy, feeling and spirit, and promptly catch the popular ear.

We have been credibly informed that there was a rich find of mineral, of what sort is still kept secret, but presumably of the precious metal, made on Texada Island, and the promoters of the exploration party are to leave for the place immediately. The steamer Esperanza leaves this evening for Cape Mudge, the scene of the disaster to the steadier EsteUe, to endeavor to ascertain the truth of the rumor of the finding of the body bf the late Norman McDougall. Dr. Walkem, ihe 'Provincial coroner, and Mr. Haslam, are alao going on the Esperanza and will do all In their power to elucidate the mystery which is hanging over the sad occurrence. In conversation with one of the officers of the Joan, he gave his opinion that thre was little reliance to be placed on the reported finding of the late Norman McDougall's body. He based hie opinion par ly ou his knowledge of the tinder's veracity, and alsoon the well-known fact that the human body will not float after being immersed Buch a length of time as has elapsed since the melancholy occurence.

Business being ouly quiet, I spent the afternoon till dark doing somewhat heavy work in the garden, and having dined sat me down in the same arm chair I've sat in many times before in my happy home in dear old England, and many a "forty winks" have I had in that same chair. I was very tired and feeling very sleepy, said to my dear wife, "If I fall asleep let me sleep on." And fall asleep I did, and dreamt the following dream:��� I was in the garden, spade in hand, when a fine-looking elderly man, with snow white I air and beard, and ruddy, honest face, that showt d unmistakably that he was a man who had weathered it more ways than one, came to the gate and said "I also have b en a worker, and seen much of the world and its 'ups and downs.' For forty years I was a miner���come alorg with me and I will show you something worth the seeing." I laid down my spade ani involuntarily followed him. When on Front street he snid: "See you those vessels in the bay? That's the commencement of better times, and there are real good times ahea^ f*>r your good C ty of N-maimo. The worst is past, not to return for years, if ever, but that \ guess you know yourself. See you that tramway ?" I could not, but thought I should. "I want you to go with me by boat to Vancouver and on to the richest country, or one of them, on God's earth, the Kaslo-Slcan country;" and so we went. Once on board, the old man, putting his strong hand on my shoulder, said: "I guess you also have seen some of the ups and downs of this wicked world." "That's so," I said, "but 'Never Say Die,' is my motto, and I mean to get there yet." "Well said," replied my friend, "then you will not regret this journey." From boat to trair, and then we seemed to fly, and landed in a country teeming with untold wealth. Mine after mine he showed me, and seemed to know many oi the workers. "This is no talk, no idle fancy," said he, "t1 ere it is before your eyes, untoid wealth;" and so it was���unmistakably. We then followed, as I remember, the track of the Kaslo-Sl can Railway. "In less thin three months from now, my friend," said he, "the rails will be down and trains running into Kaslo; and here we are in Kaslo itself. I must Jeivc you now, mate good use of your opportunity, and if y n have i he p uck you'r credited with, (and but for that I should not have sought you out), I say if you have the seise I think you have, put your last dollar into Kaslo, and grow rich." I turned to thank him for his good advioe, and saying I would act upon it, stretched out my hand, but his was gon<, it was my wife's I grasped. "You seemed 60 restless, Tom, I thought I'd wake you, it's time to go to bed " she said. And to bed I went. This dream is a fa'jt. It may have arisen from the unbounded confidence I havt in the future of . lN_N_IMO, B. 0��� &UNOAY, MARCH _5. 1894. I- DIPLOMACY IN FKANCE. ONE OF THt M08T REMARKABLE DEPARTMENTS Of STATE. Ba_lfl_WosM of Mm ���fraoefa MlnlsSsj of Wormtma AtTaAwm- PoUMool Article* In Bvery -Languao* VmuMtaSml Daily for (be Chief ISihiHk That department of state oallcd the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ia the most Important one in Franoe. In no other ooun- X. ARMAWn MOIXAUD try, with, -perhaps, the exception of Russia, is the Department of Foreign Affairs so active, so far reaching or so noted for bewildering complications and ramifications as the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is the oldest department of the kind in the world. Under monarchical France the department was administered with a view to conserving tbe rights uf the King rather than the interest of the people. These rights depended on state papers and diplomatic correspondence, and wherever the documents were there was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They were usually kept in the King's private cabinet, and the pa eis and the se oret iries who had them in charge followed the King wherever he went. They were always prepared for immediate transportation. Cardinal Richelieu whs very particular how they were disposed and bad everything numbered and lettered for ready reference. It was not until about the year 1710 that a permanent depot was thought of. It waa iu Paris, iu one of the pavilions of the Louvre, that the diplomatic archives first found a resting place. In 17(11 the Due de Choiseul, who was obliged to reside at Versailles near the King, proposed the construction ot a building for the special use of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Two years after it woe done. In 1700 the archives were transferred to the Hotel de Uallifet, in the Rue du Bac, Paris, and three years afterward to the Hotel d*> Mai.repas, ia the same neighbor hood. Napoleon I. conceived the idea of putting up a fine building on the Quai d'Orsay for the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, aud Architect Hmiuard designed the structure subsequently occupied not by tbe Foreign Affairs Bureau, but by other departments. It was uot until 1845 that the present fine structure fSy tbe architect Jacques Laeornee was begun in the Quai d'Orsay. That part known as the Hotel du Minis Ire is an elegant aud majestic edifice. It is bnllt in the extremity of a terrace which separates it from the quay. The facade is embellished with Doric and Gothic columns, with balustrades in the Ituliau style on each story, and at the top with medallions of the armorial bearings of the different powers. It waa partly destroyed by tlie Commune, but restore*! in 1871. Big as the niii.'iiiticent huil'iing is yet it is not too large for the various services .connected with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Oil the ground floor are the apartments and offices of the foreign minister, with splendid reception rooms and a tiie cipher bureau i ad lhe eouri r's bureau. The whole is directe 1 by a d i.-f and as sisiant. Tlieir functions are l'*e opening of tue despatches air: convspo.'.dence of the Minis*.ry, tne rending of tue French newspapers, the piess ivpo.ls. tlie ed.tlllg and until.cation of the annual report and tiie (iis-xtRiti'in of tiiL* secret service fund. These functions *t*miind special taot, a rare faculty of a-Himihi'ion and absolute oer- taintt in passing judgment, Tne pr-.-seut _iluster of Foreign Affairs is M. Develle, His principal aide are M. Revoil and Paul Lafurgue, chiefs, and M. Gavarry, assistant. M. Revoil, who has lately beeu named Sub Director of Consul ates, has been succeeded by M. Lafui\'ue, who, with M. Ednioud About anil M. Saroey, was one of the founders of Le Dix- Neuvieme Siecle. The chief secretary is M. Tirard, who is very highly esteemed. The translation foreign press bureau iB of special importance. We give a picture of it. It is divided into two sections. Tbe business of one section is to make translations of all documents offered the service into French, or iuto the languare of the countries to whioh communications may be sent. The press section makes every day a summary in French of all political Articles published in Knglish, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Roumanian and all other newspapers, as well aa preaentlng a summary of political articles iu French papers published in other countries. This service requires a profound knowledge of international law and jurisdiction, as well as of foreign lan- L'tiages. Its direction ia confided to M. Duca. The cipher bureau is occupied solely with making and deciphering secret despatches. Cipher writing wan used by the ancients. Csesar, we know, earned on a correspondence with his friends by its means. ThiB he did by odvancing the letters of the alphabet by fourths. The cryptograph was employed in diplomatic correspondence in the thirteenth century... There are many systems, among the-e the transposition of letters, the grille (or blank sua es), and the cipher code or dictionary, fn the last century the grille was principally used. This process consists in covering the paper with a gridiron, of which the other person haa a double. One writes in the open spaces, and then taking away the grille, the blank spaces are filled in with words which completely hide the sense of the despatch. The person at the other end has but to cover the paper with his duplicate gridiron to make tlie meaning clear. The cipher oode, however, is deemed the best. Tt was often us.*d in the eighteenth century in diplomatic correspondence, ami is employed to-day. When a diplomatic went is sjnt to an embassy or legation the department usually �� nils with him three ciphers���a written cipher, a kev, and a toiuiiiou cipher. The first ought to serve liiii for the reading of his despatches, the Kecond gives him the clew to taose he will receive, and the third, less complicated, will permit him to correspond with his colleagues abroad.- ��� Formerly the political bureaus themselves deciphered the despatches. To day its special cipher bureau does that and that alone. It is said that ���iiice its institution, not the least iudiscre lion has beeu committed by any of the em rOBFIOa TREKS BUREAU���MEETI1IO OF STAFF. grand dining room. Here every Thursdsy is reeeived tbe diplomatic corps, and twice a week���on Monday and Friday mornings ���persons who have a claim to an aud iciice. Here also take place the grand re ceptions. soirees and official dinners. In tbe Ambassadors' inlon are to be seen the portraits of the plenipotentiaries who as sisted at the famous oongress in Paris.of lHaO. To the right of this chamber is the salon where the members of the Behring Sea Arbitration Commission held their ses sions last vcar. A broad", white marble staircase leads to the next floor, where, after passing a series of salons all lnxuriously furnished and ornamented with old Gobelin tapestries, we come to the Yellow Room, where the wife of the foreign minister reoeiTce once a week. This chamber is one of the must beautiful in Paris. Amorg other rare and precious article* we see is a beautiful breati or chest of drawers which came from Trianon. It belonged te Marie Antoinette, and it is attributed to Reieuor, the famous cabinet maker of Louis XVI. Near this salon is what is now known as the "Chamber of Qombstta." The furni tnre belonged originally to Prinee Talleyrand, is iu the empire style and was made by Jacob, the oabinet maker of Napoleon th* Great.

While all the other employes are recruited in the usual way, thoae in the cipher bureau are fixtures, the positions being handed down from father to son. the cipher keys being regarded as a sacred heirloom. The greater part of the despatches, preserved in the archives of the Ministry or in -.lie libraries, have beet) deciphered at the moment of their reception. The translation is ordinarily interlined. Yet there are some which have not yet been translated owing to the loss of the key. Tnen there iB the "Servicedu Protocole," or precedent bureau, which embraces matters of ceremonial and etiquette, reception of ambassadors, audiences, foreign decorations, the expediting of treaties, convention*, the admission of foreign consuls and so on. This, it will be seen, is a most important bureau. M. de Bourgueney is the head, and his chief assistant is M. Armand Nollard, than whom np one is better known in the official world. He has beeu a long number of years in tbe service. The direction of oommere* ta' alao a special and important feature of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Linoleum III the Kitchen, An authority on "itch matters recommends u thin quality of linoleum to be used as a dado for i *��� walls iu a kitchen. It should l�� glued ��� ** e to the wall, and may be finished a me lop with a plain moulding. It may t en be oiled or var nished, or left ill its n .tuial condition, as o:ie chouses. It is in .very way to be pre- :tc*1 to a di.do of wood, which is liable lo cri.ok ami leave .nt* rsticcs iu widen insects may lodge. The dado of linoleum is as easily washed as a dnilo of tiling, anil i*. even more durable, while it is a good ileal cheaper. In tbe natural wood color in which this material comes, it would make a very pretty dado for a wall painted pale blue. As iiuoleum is nothing more than tiie blown pa|p of wood, combined aim * xidized linseed oil, it can le readily seen ���hat ii can be treated In any way that wood can be treated, while it i�� .exactly *-uited to this purpose and the purpose of covering kitchen floors. A dado is almost a necessity in a kitchen, because a plast ��� red wall gets chipped with continual wear. Linoleum offers just the rigut material necessary for such protection.
