THE ANTIQUITY OF CINDERELLA.
Originated in Egypt, the birthplace of
All Our Arts and Sciences.

That the ancient Egyptians were
noveiists and readers of novels was what
no one suspected till Nine. dOrbiney
purchased her famous papyrus in 1857,
says the Contemporary ReCiew.
The Egyptologists of Europe were, in
fact, fairly scandalzed to find that
these grave and reverend signiors."
whose mummies were so eminently re-
spectacle, had tastes as frivolous as our
own. Since that time many more
specimens of ancient Egyptian fiction
have come to light, tales of adventure
by land and sea, tales of enchantment
and magic, even historical romances
and ghost stories These discoveries
have cast a new light upon the early
history of literature. They show us that
Egypt was not only the birthplace of all
our arts and all our sciences, but that
the valley of the Nile was in truth the
cradle of romance.
1t was from Egyptian sources that
Herodotus derived many a narrative,
which he innocently accepted for fact
and repeated as history, and it is from
these sources that the Arab storytellers
of the middle ages drew many an in
cdent familiar to us all in the pages of
The Thousand and One Nights" The
Shipwrecked Mariner" (who. by the way,
performs the astonishing feat of sailing
up the Nile as far as Nubia and thence
gaining the open sea) is cast, like Sin
bad the Sailor" upon an island peopled
by serpents.
Gen. Tahuti. in story called "The
Taking of Joppa," introduces his
soldiers into the beleaguered city by
means of stratagem less successfully
attempted in after ages by the Forty
Thieves is to say, he conceals a
certain number of men in big jars
which are carried by others of their
comrades disguised as captives laden
with booty. Once inside the gates the
pretended captives liberate the soldiers
in the jars and take possession of Joppa
and its inhabitants.
In The Story of the Boomer Prince"
whose father isolates him in castle or
the top of mountain in order to defeat
the fuliillment of fatal prophecy, we
recognize the central incident of the
tale Of Prince Agib the Third Royal
Mendicant, and in the story of Rhode
pis, as told by Herodotus, the Egyptian
original of Cinderella and the little glass
slipper

EDUCATION IN CHINA.
Rich Parvenues Hire Instructors, Dut the
Humber Ranks Have Little Assistance.

In no country is education more high
y esteemed than in China. The child
of the workingman as a rule cannot
hope to get more than mere smatter-
ing. But scattered through the coun-
try are numberless families, the men,
bers OF which for generation after gem
GRAFTON are always students, and from
whom as a rule the officials come
They have no knowledge of any bust
ness or trade. They correspond very
closely to what are, or used to be, called
gentlemen in England. and preserve
their position with great tenacity, even
when hard pressed by poverty.
Rich parvenues, as matter of
course, engage tutors for their children;
and in the humblest ranks of life Occa-
sionally parents, says the Nineteenth
Century, will stint themselves to give
an opportunity to some son who has
shown marked intelligence at the vii
lage school. But neither of these
classes compete on an equality with
those to whom learning is Il hereditary
profession. The cultivation and intel
lectual discipline prevailing in such
families give their members a marked
advantage over those who get no help
of the kind at home, and who must,
therefore, depend entirely on what they
learn from their paid teachers.
The orthodox scheme of education is
entirely ccSlcerned with the ancient lit
erature of China. The original works
which occupy the Students attention
were for the most part written before
the literature of either Greece or Rome
had reached It's prime. But there are
commentators belonging to later pc
RODS who must also be pursued with
diligence. China has not seen an in
tluX of new races such as have Overrun
Europe since the DAYS of our classical
authors. But still, from mere lapse of
time, the language of the country has
greatly changed and the child begin
ming his studies cannot without explain
alton understand single sentence, even
if he has learned to read the words of
the lesson which he has before him.
THO student makes himself acquainted
as thoroughly as possible with these
classical works. The more he can
quote of them the better, but he must
master the matter contained in them as
we'll
He must get to know the different
readings and different interpretations
of disputed passages, and, finally, he
practices himself in prose and verse
composition. In prose he carefully
preeerves the ancient phraseology, never
admitting modern words, though there
are certain technicalities of style which
will prevent his productions from being
an exact imitation of the ancient litera-
ture. His verses must he in close imi-
tation OF the old-time poets. They
must follow elaborate rules as to
rhythm. and the words must rhyme ac-
cording to the classical sounds. which
are very different from those of to-day.

A son of Henry Krager while fishing
broke through The Ice and would have
drowned but for the timely arrival OF
Naylor, who heroicaliy risked and lost
his life in saving the other boy. Naylor
remained in the water about an hour be-
fore he drowned. William Kaul came to
his rescue and with the aid of fence
boards succeeded in getting Naylor out
on the ice, when the ice gave way and
both went down INTO the water. Kaul
with difficulty saved himself, and when
he turned his attention toward Naylor be
found he had drowned and slipped under
the ice. The body was soon recovered.
The coroner's jury met and adjourned

THE SILENCE CURE.
A Physician Who Says Women Hurt Their
Nerves by Talking too Much.

Il have two or three patients who are
i'll with nervous -prostration and who
could be cured if they would stop talk
ing" said a nerve specialist the other
day. They waste their nerve tissue as
fast as l can supply it, and they are on
the verge of Mysteries and acute nervous
pain all the time. A woman, if she be
inclined to talk too much, should time
herself just as she would take medicine.
and allow herself only just SO many
minutes of talk.
Now, the other day a woman who is
troubled with insomnia came in my
office for treatment. She had been tax
ing drugs. She told me about her
troubles and her tongue ran like the
clapper of farmhouse bell at dinner

After breakfast sew little in your own

The Species Almost Extinct.

The Rev. DR.. Berle of Boston says
that he had a Swedish girl doing house
work in his family and she announced
not long ago that she wished TO return
on a visit to her native land.
And will you work for me when you
come back?" he asked.
The girl did not seem to understand,
and said:
Are you dissatisfied with me?"
why, no." replied the clergyman.
Il only thought that you might not want
to come back, and that l might have to
engage some one else"

reply, chat when girl goes to work
in a family she is to remain there until
she is married.

Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Har-
ward, has written for the January
number of The Forum very thought
full and timely article entitled. Are
Our Moral Standings Shifting?"
Among the interesting and significant
changes of public standard to which
he calls attention are: the growing
Impotence with legal and constitu
uonal methods of bringing about a
change of laws, whereby unpopular
statues are practically abrogated by
ignoring them; the disposition of pub
lie oficersito draw their salary and
leave their duties to be performed by
deputies; lack of effective public sent
iment against pension frauds; the
state of public mind with regard to
the relations sof employer and EN-
ployee; growing discomfort with cor
porations ;iand the deplorable change
of the public conscience with regard
to crimes, and violence accompanying
strikes, by which the criminal is given
shameful celebrity and often wholly
escape punishment.
