He Is iib active physically as he is mentally. To use a common, but very expressive phrase, 'There Is not a lazy bone In his body.' Moreover, no lazy man cnu remain with him long, He puts on no stylo and thinks nothing of his personal appearance, when he Is In tho field. His entire soul Is absorbed In his work. When there was dlfllculty In unloading transports, and when the olllcers seemed to be In the least In capable of performing their duty he went to work himself like a hired man, and his staff olllcers went to woik, too There was no standing uiound and looking on at anything. "General Miles worked live a beuver at everything. He was Intently alert, personally looking nfter every branch of the army. Ho was at all paits of v0099099wO909S0S00( (jw Surgeon.

From the St. Louis Hcpuhllc The spirit of ecunomy in tho Chinese race ttanscends nil that can bo Imag ined. Tile smallest paitlclc ot matter Is utilized. The old cast-off account book of the met chant is cut Into pieces and oiled to setve, Instead of class, In windows of lanterns, A coolie who has a six hours' maicli with a heavy htii den will return to his point of depart ure without having biokcn ills fast, In ordei to save the two cents his lueak fast would have cost away fiom home. Nothing is moi e cuiious than to sec them cat. although, with their famous chopsticks, they do not perform all the wonderful feats generally supposed. Everv thing Is served them in bowls or saucers, and with the chopsticks they raise the pieces of meat or fish to the mouth with sulllcient glace. Each one has a bowl of rice, which he holds near his lips, and w 1th the aid ot the chop sticks he pushes the contents Into his mouth. It is curious to see them pick up with their chopsticks the grains of lice that tall on the ground. The chil dren are taught this ait fiom their earliest yeais. nothing must bo lost, not even the smallest grain Europeans, regard politeness as nn expression of those qiu'lltles of tho heait which render the peison who de sires to bo polite agreeable to those with whOTi he Is thrown. Chinese look upon tho matter fiom an entliely dif ferent standpoint. The same sentiment which accords Impoitatico to the pius ervatlon of dignity tegulates his ac tions as regards politeness Hero Is an example of their politeness A Chinese, arrayed In his most beautiful costume, who piesented himself nt u house, dls tuibed a rat which was enjoying him self in a Jar of oil The rat in his flight overturned the Jat upon the visltoi, whose dress was ruined While tho unfortunate visitor was still palo -vlth rage his host entered the npartmenl, and after the usual salutation tho vis itor explained his mlsadventuie: "As I entered your honorable npai tment I had tho misfortune to alarm our hon orable rat, which In taking flight over turned your honorable Jar of oil upon my miserable and Insignificant cloth ing, which explains the contemptible condition In which ou find me In your honorable presence." To determine your conduct when a Chinese offers you a present is the most dllllcult thing In the world. Certain things are not offered to bo accepted, and others may not be refused per emptorily. In a general manner, never theless, ono may accept, undei stand ing perfectly that the gift must be re turned a hundred fold. THE SUGAR PROBLEM. Trom the Tlmes-llcralJ.
