New York, Aug. 4-The share specula-
ton was fairly active for a Saturday,
and was marked by decidedly stronger
tone, the general list with two or three
unimportant exceptions recording an adj
vance on the days transactions ranging
from 5s@34 per cent:
The trend OF prices was upward
throughout, except for Sugar, which
moved independently of the rest of the
list and in a few shares there was a
light reaction only shortly after II
o'clock. But the market closed strong
with prices at or near the best of the
day, and a fairly active trading in pro-
gress.
The more important gains are: Mis-
souri, Pacific st. Paul and General Elec-
trio, Is; Pullman, q and Louisville &
Nashville, Is. The great feature of the
speculation was Sugar, which opened at
JOG, one point higher than the closing fig
ure of yesterday, this price having been
set by the bull clique and there was con-
siderable covering at that figure, and
up to l06Ss, which was the highest point
reached. The support seemed to be with

EDUCATION IN DINA.
[From the Ninteenth century

From the Ninteenth Century.l
In no country is education more high
~ esteemed than in China. The child
of the working man as a rule cannot
hope to get more than a mere smatter-
ing. But scattered through the coun-
try are numberless families, the mem
berS of which for generation after
genera ton 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 pre-
serve their position with great tena-
city, even when hard pressed by poY-
erty
Rich parvenues as a matter of course
engage tutors for their children; and in
the humblest ranks of life occasionally
parents will stint themselves to give an
opportunity to some son who has
shown marked intelligence at the vii
classes compete on an equality with
those to whom learning is an heredi-
tary profession The cultivation and
intellectual 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 concerned with the ancient
literature of China. The original
works which occupy the students at
tention 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 periods who must also be perused
with diligence. China has not seen an
influx of new races, such as have over
run Europe since the days of our cIas-
steal authors; but still, from mere
lapse of time, the language of the coun-
try has greatly changed, and the child
beginning his studies cannot without
explanation understand a single sen
tence, even if he has learned to read
the words of the lesson which he has
before him. The student makes him
self acquainted as thoroughly as pos
sible with these classical works. The
more he can quote of them the better, /
but he must master the matter con-
tanned in them as well.
He must get to know the different
and different interpretations
of disputed passag es, and, finally, he
practices himself in prose and verse
In prose he carefully pre-
serves 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 be in close inli
tation of the old-time poets. They must
follow elaborate rules as to rhythm,
and the words must rhyme according
to the classical sounds, which are very
different from those of today.
