pictures, and holds up to the senses all
the fragrant sweets of the tropical spice

Entranced by the glowing imagry OF

the thousands.
But before his analysis has been re-
corded, a curtain falls over dazzling
hall, resplendent decorations, and art
treasures, and in their stead is opened
up viee of mountain and a cross
upon it, with the Son of God being
offered a sacrifice for the sins OF the
world. The charming converser, histo
rian, and artist has magically lured his
audience on, enchained its fancy, spell
bound its attention, only to fit it for the
transcendent glories of the divine scene
he here presents. Now his thoughts
glow, his words burn, and his gestures
emphasize the ardor of his soul in the
cause of salvation. He echoes the
chords Of a harp held in a mothers
hands ON the celestial shore, inspiring
her loved ones to live so as to come to

swung by the hands of children in Par

celestial land On and on, from height

An American Soldier in China.

In this paper have tried to make no
statement which is not susceptible of
proof by documents or living witnesses.
Such support have not for the asser-
ton, which | nevertheless believe to be
strictly true. as Gordon, who had
served at times in the staff with Ward,
and greatly admired him, declared, on
succeeding him in command, that he
.'had but to follow where the American
soldier had led Whether he said SO
or not, however, that is what he did.
The creator and the first commander of
the Ever Victorious Army was Frederic
L. Ward. That he would have taken
Nankin and speedily crushed the T@p-
ing Rebellion is beyond all question;
and he left to Gordon task far easier
than which he had himself accomp-
lished.
1t is difficult to withhold praise from
brave deeds, even if we be not wholly
in sympathy with the cause in which
they are done, While dwelling upon
the striking and dramatic character of
Wards achievement, and having only
admiration for the many excellent traits
of his character. a conscientious histo-
rian must guard himself from approval.

the .'ex-territorial jurisdiction in that
country, because no one would dream
of trusting the lives or liberties of Amer
icians to the mercies of Cinnamon even
in time of peace. How much more
dreadful must it be TO have part or lot
with them in time of war, Both Ward
and Gordon were brave. and in a way
great men: but in China they were en-
gagged in a miserable business, and we
must like and praise them in spite of
this business, not on account of it.
They waded to their ends through the
blood of thousands of men who had
done them no harm, and who no senti-
| ment of patriotism nor love of liberty
impelled them to oppose. They were
associated, too, with Imperialist author
tiles and forces, for whose evil deeds
they were of course not responsible, but
who were sorry allies for honorable
men. The story has been told of the
cruel murder of the Wongs, or rebel
chiefs, who had surrendered to Gordon
under his pledge that their lives should

Modern Romanticism.

A marked feature of modern romantic
ism is love of the past, that passionate
regret for by-gone fashions which
prompts the attempt to patch the new
garment of to-day with the old cloth of
formcv wear The feeling which. early
in this century, found Inspiration in
medieval lore, and loved to present the
old chivalrics in novel and song. is the
same which inspires the practical an
achronisms of recent time, which in En-
gland seeks to reproduce the old ecclesi-
astical sanctities, which astonishes
American cities with mimicry of
Gothic architecture; the same which
forty years ago restored the long-disused
beard, which now ransacks secondhand
furniture stores and remote farmhouses
for claw-footed tables and brass-handled
bureaus, which drags from the lumber
room the obsolete spinningwheel, which
rejoices in many-cornered dwelling
houses with diminutive window panes-
the more unshapely the better, because
the more picturesque. 4 mania, inno-
cent enough in these manifestations. but
in its essence identical with that which
inspired the knight of La Mancha, the
typical example for all generations of
romanticism gone wild.
1t would be unjust, however. 20 main-
tain that the reaching back after old
things is the sum of romanticisn. as if
what we so name were mere conserva-
tism or reactionism. This worship Of
the past is only an accidental manifesto
ton of principle whose most compre-
hensive term is aspiration; noble dis
content and disdain of the present.
which, in the absence of creative genius,
of power to originate new forms, seeks
relief in the past from the weary COM
monplace of the day.
The essence of ronanticism is aspira-
ton. Whether it look backward or for
ward, there is in it spirit of adventure
as much of it in the crusaders who
sought a sepulchre in the east as in the
Spanish navigators who sought an El-
dorado in the west; as much in the arc
tic explorers who would force way
through eternal frost as in the Knights
of the Holy Grail; as much in the nine
teenth century as in the twelfth, in Carl
baldi and Gordon as in Godfrey and
Tancred.
The romantic schools of German and
English literature were transient phases
already outgrown. but the principle OF
romanticism in literature is immortal
it is the spirit asserting itself through
the form. Classicism gives US perfec-
ton of form, romanticism fullness of
spirit. Both are essential, seldom found
united. but both must combine to con-
stitute masterpiece of literary art

1t may not generally be known that
the alumn9 Of the more important cen
ters of female higher education in this
country have an organized intercol-
legiate association for the promotion of
woman's education and the study OF
questions regarding her training. This
association has justified its existence. If
justification were necessary, by the in
quiries which it has made regarding the
health OF those women who have pur-
sued college courses. The importance
of the results thus obtained has led TO
their incorporation in the Current Re-
port of the Massachusetts Labor Bureau. .
For the first time the discussion is taken
from the a Pri0ri realm of theory on the
one hand. and the hap-hazard estimate
OF physician and college instructor on
the other. The returns have the value
OF all good statistics; they not only en-
able us to come to some conclusion upon
the main point discussed, but they are
so full and varied that they suggest and
mark the way toward the discussion of
large number of other hardly less i'm
portant questions The figures, in
short, call up as many problems as they
settle, thus fulfilling the first requisite Of
fruitful research.
Pursuing this line, we shall first state
the general character of the investiga-
ton followed and conclusions reached;
and, secondly. isolate few special
problems for more detailed though brief
treatment The result may be summed
up in the words of the report, as follows:
The female graduates of our colleges
and universities do not seem to show,
as the result of their college studies and

health from the average health likely to

to be expected that there would be.

part of some of the graduates. On the

We must look elsewhere for the causes
OF the greater part of this decline in
health during college-life. If we at
tempt to trace the cause, we find that
this deterioration is largely due, not TO
the requirements of college-life particu-
larly. but to predisposing causes natural

no matter what the Enterprise may

Giye The Devil HIa Dine.

Consider the case of Parsons, the An

However misguided his opinions, and
however wild his projects for reforming
human society, he is undoubtedly pro-
foundly in earnest, and absolutely dis
interested. He is man of superior tai
ents, and could do much better in the
world had he devoted himself to his own
fortunes instead of to those chimerical
schemes for the remodeling of society.
He is a man of stoical courage; for after
he had demonstrated, by his escape and
successful concealment for weeks, his
ability to avoid the police, he calmly re-
turned and walked through a long liue
of police and detectives, who utterly,
failed to recognize him, into the crimi-
nal court, and surrendered himself, not
with any expectation of acquittal, but
simply to share the fate of his fellows,
whatever it might be.
His department throughout the trial
was characterized by neither the hardl-

of the coward. He bore himself rather
