she says ''goesn with remarkable celebrity.
This eXaltation is feature of tlial piety
which is the keynote OF the Chinese code Of
morals. Absolute authority is, however,
vested only in the husbands mother, which
imparts to it true Chinese flavor.

To the Editor ofTHE HERALD:
While perusing the columns Of THE
HERALD I have noticed lately an occasional
reference to q. G. M. l., showing the mag
nitude of the institution, etc. What most
attracted my attention was a statement
that the board of directors had Withdrawn
from the market the unsold stock of the IN
stitution, giving as one of the reasons for
this action that the institution does not
need the money which would be realized
frSn the sale OF said stock This was very
gratifying to me and should be to every
stakeholder Of tho firm, giving as it does a
very strong assurance OF the stability Of
the Institution. 1t has seemed TO me for
some time past that T.. c.. NJ l. stock has
been selling far below its value, due in
part 10 doubt to the scarcity of money, but
believe largely to the fact that large
portion of the increase authorized a year or
so ago remained uusold. With this block
of stock withdrawn from the market, a
sharp increase in ths value OF the stock
will most GssEredly follow. There are many
indications that money is getting easier,
and no doubt before long people win be

came upon the body of another
Chinaman dead in bunk. The body
was cold and stiff but showed no
marks of violence. 1t is probable
that he was victim of opium. AL
