my heart. We crossed from Annoy to
Taiwan, big town on the west coast
of Formosa, and made our preparations
for getting well into the wilds. You
see, we had both been in China a mat
ter of ten years. and could pass muster
very well with our knowledge of two
or three dialects of the dreadfully pro-
fuse language of the empire. Aud so
we expected to get along all right to
shoot a variety of strange quadrupeds
and feathered creatures, and Hammond
to enlarge his already very copious col
lection of plants and grasses.
never knew a man more enthusiast
tic about his hobby than was Ham,
mond about his specimens. 1t cost him
many a groan to leave them on the
mainland. But for the infinite annoy
ance they would have cost us both, he
would have carried them with him to
Eormosa- They filled eight boxes as
big as American travelling trunks
what with their layers of wood and
thick blotting paper. and the camphor-
wood cases in which the different
species rcposed apart from each other.
Poor old chap! he might have pleased
himself in the matter. l wish he had.
for his interest in the things might
have kept him from the craze that
killed him.
For a week we had a very agreeable
time in the bungalow of a certain
Scotch missionary whose name will be
a familiar memory to every European
who has stayed awhile in the island
He was-indeed is-a very remarkable
man. and a credit to the Anglo-Saxm
race. II every man had his due. he
ought to be appointed governor gen.
cral of Formosa: though doubt not he
would refuse the dignity. This by the
way. And yet I ought to mention him
if only for the earnest warning he gave
us about the vermin and reptiles of the
interior. We spent two days in jour
neying from his house to the woods in
which we proposed to camp for . fort
night. as happy as Adam and Eve be-
fore the fall.
The forest scenery was magnificent,
but the brake of brambles and flower
ing creepcrs which matted themselves
between the tree trunks made progress
very slow. We did not stick 70 the
tracks: otherwise, Of eourze, IL would
have been different And We were ~
paid foIlW labor BY the strange
creatures I SLOT. and BY many . grass
and flower which Hammond was -
elated over - mother with her 6rst
child
Two m0re days passed, and we pro
noanced our holiday a success Then
Hammond sickcned of . fever or . sun
stroke, l could not determine which.

The National Indian Association Is
beset with peculiar difficulties in its Of
forts OH tho behalf Of indian women in
the attainment of higher education,
not tho least OF which is tho strong OBJ
joction raised in all classes of native So
ciety against any attempts in the direo-
ton of female emancipation. This feel
ing finds singular expression in tho vcr-
nacular literature OF tho country, the
advanced and educated woman invaria-
bly, coming to grief both in novels and
Dramas and in a recent volume OF cs-
says on tho "Moral Teaching OF Bengal
Women" tho Bengaleo author givos
uttorance to the wcll-worn and now dis
putod theory that when women arc
educated they devote thoir timo to tho
reading OF novels to tho neglect
OF household duties and forgot
the Difference due their Supporters.
Native men of refinement and cduca-
ton Wow with apprehension tho cman-
cipation Of women through education
from the old-timc code of social ethics
and the religious beliefs which have for
centuries held Hinduism together. nor
Is the apprehension wholly unwarrant
able, for the educated Indian woman
has no means OF livelihood, and tho thin
varnish of Western culture sometimes
acquired among men have in many
caSoS produced n class of discontented
and lawlcss agitators, which effect re-
pcatcd in women, would produce an
Oriental version OF the typical English
advanced female clamoring for woman's
rights, and forgetting woman's duties
and high prcrogatives-

The Kind of People who Will End IiSe nj
the Top at the Ladder.
One of the subjects talked and written
about good deal at the present tmo
is how TO live chcaply. Prices of all
the great staples are high Rents arc
enormous Fashions are exacting.

ish. How TO make strap and buckle

hundreds OF housekccpors. 1t is what
Is done to.kcep IN appearances that de-
stroys the equilibrium between outgo
and income, and make life u drudgery
and vexation. How to live cheaplv is a
question easy to answer If one will be
content with cheap living.
Substitute comfort for show.
Put convenience in tho place Of
fashion. Study simplicity. Refuse to be
beguiled into a style of living above
what is required by your position in
society and is justified by your ro-
sources. Set fashion OF simplicity,
neatness, prudence and inexpensive
ness, which others will DO glad to fol-
low. and thank You for introducing
Teach yourself to do without a thou

which wealthy people purchase, and
pride yourself on being just az happy
without them as your rich ncighbors
arc with them. Put so much dignity,
sincerity, kindness, virtue and love in to

Portable apartments than most OF their

in order to live chcaply ono must live

expensive. There is no trouble about
young people marrying with no out

they will practice tho thrift and
