ADVANTAGES OF CHINESE.
"A Language That Can BE Written as Fast
as Our Shorthand.


The Chinese language as the natives
use it has great Iorce, nuency ana dlrec-
tion. 1t IS practical as the nation is
practical, and those who use it are too
independent to abandon the speech and
writing handed down to them through
so long line of ancestors. It will be
made the medium of instruction in
science and is very suitable for becom-
ing so. They have contractions for all
their characters which foreign students
do not trouble themselves to learn, but
the use of which, in fact, qualities tho
Chinese to become shorthand reporters
OF speeches in their own language.
They do not practice speech-mal1ine.
but ii they did and if the native news
papers formed staff of shorthand re-
porters they would not need to learn
any foreign system. They can report
quite fast enough themselves with q
little practice, and they write the con-
fractions with wonderful quickness.
Their hand muscles are pliabae, their
fingers small, and the writing brush
they employ is an instrument superior
in speed to the steel pen or quill. The
scr1bes at an imperial audience probably
write all or nearly all that is said.
Scribes who are paid by the piece get
through large amount Of copying in
very short time. Yet let no one expect
teacher who is paid by the month to
write fast. He has every reason to be
slow But copyists, paid so much for
thousand characters, try naturally to
transcribe as many thousand in a week
as they can. The rapid work of such
copyists, especially If they are allowed
to use contractions, fayors the conclu-
sion that by using Chinese characters
specialists could easily write all that
good speaker says. AS to whether they
could compete with the quickest Eu-
ropean stenographers may perhaps soon
be brought to trial in Japan, where
many thousands are now learning to
write in the Roman character. The
new school will soon proceed to add
shorthand to Romanization. and then it
will soon be decided which is the better
adapted for swift and accurate report
ing.-North China Herald.

Upper Niger and soudan Mission.

Mr.. Graham Wilmot- Brooke, whose
attempts to establish an independent
mission in the Soudan are we'll known,
has now become fully connected with
the Church Missionary Society, which
has assumed the responsibility for the
mission, under the name of the "Upper
Niger and Soudan Mission" Three
gentlemen have been associated with
Mr. Brooke, who will also be accom-
panied by his wife. The mission is to
be supported by special fund, made up
OF voluntary offerings for the mission.
All the missionaries will adopt the
dress Of Mohammedans of the Soudans,
and will not avail themselves of their
rights as British subjects, but will 90
among the people conforming to their
manner of living as closely as possible.
There are no Christian missionaries vet
in the Soudan, and this attempt to reach
the far interior will be watched with
great interest The people are intelli-
gent, we'll clothed and partly civilized;
the climate is healthful; transportation
up the Niger Is easy; and the prospects
for success are exceptionally favorable,
If the prejudices of the Mohammedans
can be overcome.-Baptist Missionary
Magazine.

and, although Mr.. Gould was good
natured enough TO laugh at the
mishap, it was quite evident that
he was annoyed by It. & Next
can barber who could not
speak English was the first offender. He
notched and clipped his hair and beard so
clumsiiy that the skilled artist IN the
Southern Hotel barber shop, who0was
asked to repair the ravages by trimming,
could only cut 81 the offending LOOKS.

The Kiss Has Come to Stay.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

EACHoss
What miserable lot they must be,
that handful of cold blooded. creatures
who have formed a society insSew York
ito protest against kissing, on the ground
sthat it is a powerful medium for commu-
nicsting disease. kissing, forsooth, the
glorious reward of every ardent lover
the joy of every young maternal heart.
Fancy q Sir Launcslot covering his face
with his hands to avoid the caresses of q
Guinevre in fear lest bacilli of phthisis
lurk on the queen g red lips; imagine q
Tom Jones lighting shy of Sophia West
ern for dread of possible incubation of
pneumonia; picture mother soothing q
frettiug infant by pressing to its lips a
portable adjustable mouth made of rub
Der, her own closed TO the child, for
aIack, the germ OF diphtheria might be
hidden there.
Forswear your war on kissing, un-
happy being, lest you be forsworn by
every soul whose VEINS run blood, not
ice water. There are some forms of
caprice so fantastioal that the human
race-patient as it is-openly revolts
against them.
The kiss is Inviolable. No vandal need
hope to profane it by hurting medical
aophistries at it. Joyous the thought
that kisses will be given in boldness aud
taken with bushes thousands of years
after the feeble voice of these professors
has been stilled By the icy kiss that no
man can shun.
