SAFEGUARDS TO PURITY.

A Close latlasAey Between PoPeats and
Chlidlrea IL . Very fotent Factor.
There are parents who think they
can bring up their children, and espe.
cially their daughters, in large degree
ignorant Of the evil that is in the world.
As the king in the fairy tale banishcd
all spinning wheels from his dominions
that his daughter might not wound her
fingers with a spindle, and realize the
prophecy Of the spiteful fairy at her
christening; even SO mothers withhold
useful and necessary knowledge from
their daughters, lest with it may be
mingled something leading to harm.
And even as this charming prin-
cess, notwithstanding every pre-
caution. by accident came upon
the only spinning wheel In the
realm, was wounded by the spindle,
and fell into her hundred-ycars' slum.
Der, 20 often docs the young girl un.
awares stumble upon experiences OF
whose possible existence she never
dreamed, and which are even more dis.
astrQus TO her than those that befell
the sleeping beauty.
Boys and girls Is they grow mp will
learn the ins and outs Of this wicked
world. II their parents do not give
them this knowledge. somebody else
will; and the manner in which this in
formation Is given u In oil moral re-
spects vastly moro important than
the matter. The parent may in.
struct the child in everything it should
know. satisfy its curiosity within
proper limits. and thus prcoccupy the
ground that would otherwise Be sown
by chance cultivators more with tares
OF vice than with the wheat Of knowl-
edge.
It is simply astonishing how some
young children pick MP slang words,
vile words, profane words, and attach
to them meaning. Objectionable words
and phrases seem armed with hooked
burrs, and cling tenaciously 70 the
mind they catch hold Of. It is equally
surprising how instinctively they con-
ceal all this knowledge from their
parent&

dicious1y to administer antidotes to vice
and build up safeguards TO virtue.
When there Is . perfect understanding
between parents and children; when

inclades the two hundred and fourteen
radicals which form the basis OF every
symbol in the language.
The second class indicates things that
represent ideas by their relative posi-
tons
The third class Of symbols, Of which
there are said to be 700. represents the
combination rof ideas, and they are
formed by uniting two or more signif-
icant characters to give the idea Of
third.
The fourth class numbers ST., and
comprises symbols, which, being in
verted either in form or sound, assume
different meanings
The fifth class consists of coo SYM
bols which represent borrowed mean
ings; that it to say, they are applied in
. double sense and hence have been
called metaphorical
The sixth class embraces over 10000
characters, each being composed of two
parts-namcly, the primitive or pho
netic element. which represents a Ger.
tain sound, and which also gives the
sound of the whole character, and one
of the 2l4 radicals from the first class.
According to some writer's, the whole
number of symbols is over 10000. OF
which, after deducting the obsolete
ones. about $4,000 arc said to be in
modern use.
This vast number Of symbols is ex-
pressed by only 400 or 500 syllable
sounds. which. by way of different in.
tonation, are increased to about l.500.
or, according to some authorities, to
only ZOO.
This peculiar state OF affairs makes
the language the richest in the number
of written symbols, but tho poorest in
the number Of different sounds by
which these symbols are expressed in
the living speech: and, since the same
sound may represent sixty or more diff
ferent words, the Chinese, to overcome

report the revisers have made some OBJ

can learn the Chinese language in =

pie, and in consequence of the political
domination and influence of China
over neighboring states It has become
the medium of intercourse among the
educated eastern Asiatic nations gem

OF tho many dialects prevailing in
China, the most important one is the
Kawanhwa, or Mandarin dialect, which
is the official and literary language of
the whole empire, and of the educated
Chinese in any part OF it

more prominent ones are tho Canton.

minor varieties, oil % different from

them will render the speaker quite un-

ALLlGATORS IN INDIA.

Monsters From Fifteen to Twenty .s1s
Feet Long shot or Caught On Hooks.
A correspondent gives some interest.
ing information respecting alligators.
"During an eight years residence in
India" he writes, II caught many.
varying from fifteen to twenty-six
feet Let me premise by saying that
there existed at that time. about eight
TO ten miles from Calcutta, farm with
large mill built on the river side in q
blight, where pigs were killed and cured
in large numbers, the oftal being
thrown into the river. In this blight
alligators swarmed. for long time
tried shooting. but never got one. for
when shot they sank, and. getting into
the current, were carried down the
stream. have shot small ones in
tanks, and they invariably took
from two to three days to come
to the surface. The largest
in bulk that I ever caught measured
only nineteen feet three inches, but at
least four inches to six inches of his tail
had been taken of. lie measured close
on to twelve feet in girth just behind
the fore legs or fins. The head when
cleaned weighed sixty-four pounds and
the largest tooth seven and one-half
ounces lie had eight wounds in the
head, one eye was gone, and nearly all
of his snout, and four bullets were cut
out Of his body. His inside passengers
consisted Of - dead Hindoo." seven
pairs of bangles. three arm ornaments
and about fifteen inches Of twisted
brass wire; he had also three hair-balls
similar to those found in cattle-no
doubt all formed Of pigs hair from the
Offal.
"rhe longest one ever caught was
for the late John Warehouse. Of Hall
fax, who was travelling with taxidcr-
mist. He measured close on twenty-six
feet twenty-five feet ten inches).
He was. however, lanky and would
not have weighed more or SO much as

and once il is thine al other gifts shall
