SCHOOL In China .Are l^ractic Courter Foochow, China, May L>8, 1000.-lt I is not surprising that there should oc casionally be uprisings of the lower I class people in a barbarous protest j against modern ideas, western methods j and liberality of thought and educa tion, such as is now causing alarm in the northern part of this country around Pekin. Thc "Boxers' " move ment is one that is directly traceable ! to .he mode of life and mode of j thought that lias been part of the very I existence of thc Chinese for centuries. I China is one of thc oldest countries in the world; its form ol government has existed longer than any other system jp the world- it has not changed with changing conditions in thc other court- ? tries because, as is well known, all knowledge of these conditions was kept out of China until within a very few years. Chinabas been living in thc past. The reverence for things antique, for manners and customs that date back two and three thousand years is nowhere more noticeable than in the Chinese system c? education. Sup pose that the young men of America were sent to college to learn nothing but to repeat by heart the writings of thc ancient Greek philosophers, and that the extent of a man's education were reckoned by the number of quo tations from those writings he could glibly repeat. Would America be the progressive country that it is if her educated classes had received only that kind of an education? Chinese education consists in just that sort of learning, nothing more. When one considers that the system has been in existence for centuries, and that for hundreds of generations the Chinese have been taught to look backward and not forward, it is not surprising that thejprcscnt generation should look with disfavor upon thc new ideas that in spite of them have crept into the country and made an impression upon a part of thc people that can never be effaced, no matter how mauy Boxer movements are start ed and supported by the conservative classes. There is no public school system in the Chinese empire. Only the well to-do or wealthy have the advantage of an education, except the mission aries or generous Chinese open schools in behalf of the masses. The Chinese boy starts to school when about six years old. The girls are practically never educated. The Chinese recog nize three great superiors, the Emper or, the parents and the teacher, so when thc hoy presents himself at the school he hears a present for the teacher and bows his head to the floor three timos, signifying thaUhe is will ing to obey the teacher's commands. His next duty is to hum incense be fore a tablet on which is written the name of Confucius. Then he is ready to begin to learn his lessons. The walls of the school aro usually decorated with scrolls on which are pictures and writings, quotations from thc ancient sages. Eaoh pupil ha? a little table on which are an ink-stone and the brush with which he learns to write. There are no regular hours for the opening and thc closing of the school, the pupils come and go as may bc convenient, and there are therefore no classes, each being taught separate ly and they are advanced as rapidly as they can be. The pupils are taught to read and write the Chinese languago, and this is no easy task; for there is no alphabet in the language, which has 214 root characters whioh enter into the formation of all the characters in the written language, eaoh of which represents a word. There are about j 40,000 w?rds in the language, hut only a small part of these are known to any but the most highly educated. Thc primer whioh is used in the schools is at least 2,000 years old and contains a number of proverbs which the scholar has to learn. Ho is then taught that there aro three great pow ers, heaven, earth and man; and three great lights, sun, moon and stars. He is further taught that rice, millet, wheat, rye and barley arc the five kinds of grain on which man subsists. This sort of teaching is followed by a summary of Chinese history and the examples o? the sages of antiquity are commended to the youthful pupil. Ho is also taught to despise foreigners and that China is the only great nation of the earth. Filial piety is taught from the first day of school to the last. When the Chinese scholar has learn ed these elementary things ?ie begins i to learn the sayings and writings of / the ancient sages. Chinese education is not a drawing out of tho youthful intellect, it is "cram, cram." Thou sands of young men in China can re peat for days the sayings of Mencius I and Confucius. After studying for . ?cu Or Cleon jem .i - the students begin attending the annual examinations , GIRLS ally Never Educated. Juin nul. I held under the auspices of thc Gov ernment. The examinations are very severe, and probably not more than one in a hundred passes thc first ex amination and receives the degree of "Siu-tsoi," corresponding to our Bachelor of Arts. Those who have attained this degree eau continue their studies if they will and afterward take examinations for the degrees of "tin ing" (Master of Arts), and''Cing-scu" (Doctor of Philosophy). Men with these degrees possess official prestige and power. It is considered a great honor lo obtain a degree and when the lucky holder arrays himself in classic rohes and calls upon his friends, they give lum presents, make feasts for him and show him great respect. About 15 per cent, of the male population have some education along thc lines outlined. Very few of the females are educated all. Not more than 1 per cent, can read. When the missionaries began work in China they at once began to pay much attention to the educational problem. It was easy to start schools and to have them well attended, be cause every Chinaman considered it an honor to be able to read and when the missionaries opened schools, at which no charge was made for tuition, there was no trouble to find scholars. For more than fifty years Christian people have been working to educate the people of China. Here at Foo chow we have the Anglo-Chinese college, with which is associated over 250 day schools in the country round about the city. These day schools we call "Special Gift Schools" because they are supported by the special gifts of friends in America and not by the missionary societies of the church. In these special gift schools we havo a four years' course of study, one-half of which consists of books prepared by missionaries and thc other half care fully selected book of thc sages, which all Chinese must know in order to bc considered educated. Geogra phy, physiology, history and astron omy arc taught, as well as the studies that are purely Christian. Examina tions are held quarterly. In these elementary schools only native Chi nese teachers are employed, under tho supervision of the missionaries. From the day schools the pupils go to the boarding or high school and pursue a five years course of study which in cludes Chinese classics, mathematics, history, science and books on the Bible. From the high schools tho pupils can enter either the college or the theological seminary, where the studies are much thc same as in simi lar institutions at home. Modern Chinese Solomon. The following remarkable incident occurred recently, according to the New York Herald, in the province of Honan, in China: Three men appear ed before a Judge there, and each laid claim to the same woman as his wife. Not one of them would retire in favor of the other two, but each insisted that justice should be done to him. Finally, the Judge, remembering, doubtless, how King Solomon had acted in a somewhat similar emer gency, exolaimed: "Well, if you three men cannot come to some agreement, nothing remains for me but to order that the woman shall bo killed, as there is no other way in which the matter osn be satisfactorily settled." He then called for a large cup of wine and, when it was brought, he poured into it some dark powder and compell ed the woman to drink it. Excited as I she was, the woman speedily began to feel the effect of the strong liquor. She stammered when sho tried to speak, and her flushed cheeks were an indication to the observers that the poison was working and that her end was near at hand. This was the climax for which the Judgo had waited. When he saw that the woman was apparently dying he oalled ono of tho three men who claim her as wife and bade him remove her from the Court room. This man, however, showed no inclination to do so, and the Judge there upon insisted that ho renounce all rights to her. rm. 2- v. _Mi?_ J. mo nc vuiiiugijr um, uuu gu uiu tue second man. Only one claimant was now left, and he agreed to remove the woman and care for her until sho died. Satisfied that he was her real hus band, tho Judge called him and said: "You will not be sorry for acting in this manner. Have no fear for your wife, sinco sho is in no danger o death. The liquor which she has drunk was ordinary wine, and tho pow der which I poured into it was noth ing but brown sugar."

It lias been said that Hon. Edward Everett, one of thc very brightest <*f American names in law and literature, died of checked perspiration. Ile spoke in a crowded court room until he was hot and fatigued, went to a meeting afterward at Kaneuil hall and had to sit in the draught until his time came to speak. Then he return ed to the court room with cold hands and feet and his "lungs on fire." In lays than a week he died with pneumonia, which began with checked perspiration. I'rof. Mitchell, thc great American astronomer, took fever; but it changed into a gentle perspiration. Because he was rather wann he insisted on a change to a cool bcd. Thc checked Perspiration brought back a fever, and it killed him. Only yesterday I went to a neigh bor's house to see their two fine prom ising boys-very sick with pneumo nia. They overheated themselves in a game of ball after recovering from the measles. Thc cheeked perspira tion threw them into serious illness. In my humble opinion, half the ail ments of mankind eau be traced to getting too warm and getting too chilled afterwards, What is called "bold hives" in infants has the same cause. Stout, vigorous men work hard, get tired, sit down in the shade, fall asleep, wake up hoarse and stiff and start an incurable lung trouble. Young ladies dance in thin dresses and go out into verandas and bal conies, get chilled and wake up next day with a sore throat, high fever and a protracted spell of sickness. A great many housekeepers get overheated in thc stove room and bring on influenza and sometimes fatal diseases by getting chilled too soon. Mothers hurry to town some times in their best dress to attend to shopping, come home overheated, pull r?ff thntr frnf?lr tn cav? it mYiWo tVtojj ~ -- ----- - .O'" --? - - -rf sit down to nurse the crying babiss, get chilled, and it is thc commence ment, perhaps, of a long, expensive illness, much suffering and impairment of hitherto strong constitutions. I>ress warmly in cold weather and protect the lungs and throat in all sorts of weather. Never sit down with your back to a window or open door when you are warm and fatigued. Cool off slowly if you arc hot from exercise. If you find yourself growing chilly, work or walk steadily until you restore the perspiration. I find a oig tumbler of hot water a great comfort to restore perspiration. It seems to warm up the system and promote circulation. This "checked perspiration" is a fearful promoter of serious diseases. ? Study of Twins. Oliver Herford repeats with great delight a story James Whitcomb Kiley tells about twins. These particular twinB live near Mr. Riley, out in Indi anapolis. Once not very long ago one of them was naughty and to punish her the mother made her stay indoors all day. To add a keener edge to her disgrace, favors were showered upon her sister. Sister was dressed up in her very best. Sister was given a new parasol, and went prancing up and down the front walk in the greatest glee. Presently one of the neighbors came by and paused at the gate to speak to the chi la. "You're one of the Brown twins, aren't you?" asked the neighbor. "Yes'm," answered the little girl. "Whioh twin are you?" the neigh bor inquired. The child gave her skirts a proud toss. "Oh," said she, complacently, "I'm the good little twin that's out walk ing."-Hoxton Journal.

We make no charge for thia sen Doctor Was Too Hasty. Concerning a late popular phytdcan, many stories illustrative of his quaiut, kindly qualities of head and heart are told. One of thc most amusing was about a runaway. Thc doctor, as the tale goes, was sitting in his surgery one Saturday afternoon, when he heard a ten ?fie hubbub, and, looking out of thc win dow, saw a runaway horse dashing down the street. Seizing his hat, he hurried out and found a bjg crowd collected about the curb. "Anybody hurt?'' he asked. "Ves, sir," replied a bystander, "thc driver's almost killed." The doctor pushed his way into the throng aud caught sight of a young man whose head was twisted to one side and whose body was bent half double. "Ah, ha!"' he exclaimed, wrapping oue of his powerful arms around the unfortunate's neck, "this is evidently a case of dislocation of the shoulder. I'll reduce it at onco." Suiting thc action to the word, he seized the young man's elbow and gave him a herculean wrench. The victim howled vigorously and made frantic efforts to speak. "Oh, doctor!" he gasped, "please stop! Oh stop him somebody. He's killing me!" "Bc quiet, you foal!" said the doc tor, sternly, "can't you see I'm reduc ing this fracture?" "But doctor-oh, doctor, w-w want to tell you," stuttered the young man, "that I was b-b-born this a-way !" "Born this way!" thundered the medico, suddenly letting him go. "Weren't yo? hurt in the accident just now?" "No, sir," said the cripple, humbly, j "they're takin' that feller into the I hotel!" Do Not Delay. "I have been reading about the Falls of Niagara," remarked Mr. Lin ger to Miss Frocks. "That is where a great many bridal couples go on their wadding journey, isn't it?" she cooed. "Why yes, I believe so," replied j Mr. Linger. "1 should so like to see Niagara Falls," the girl said in a low, thought ful voice. 11 Yes, they are a wonderful spectacle. But what I was about to say was that tho annual report of the United States geological survey says that in 3,500 years the falls will be no moro, the bed of the river will be dry and the great lakes will be emptying into the Mississippi river." "In how many years?" "Thirty-five hundred." "So soon as that?" exclaimed Miss Frocks. "Let us go and see them at once." "We will," said Mr. Linger, "and will go on our bridal tour." And they were happy ever after. Harper s Weekly. - a ** mm It has been demonstrated by expe rience that consumption oan be pre vented by the early use of One Min ute Cough Cure.

Take the Tombstone Along. The cemetery superintendents say that there is one peculiarity about the funerals of Chinamen which is never noticed at any other funerals. The tombstone always come along with the funeral. Most of thc tombstones are simple slabs of marble, with the in scription in Chinese characters, which are arranged up and down instead of across the stone. In two or three instances the funerals of Chinamen have been known to be delayed be cause the frieuds of the man who was to be buried were waiting for the tombstone to be finished. Thc stone is always taken to thc cemetery in the undertaker's wagon.-Baltimore Sun. - "Johnny," said a mother to her greedy "> year-old, "if you eat so much lunch you will spoil your appetite for dinner."
