saved the whole family, for as soon as
it saw the flames it awakened the folk

aroused the family, it then ran out to
the barn and drove all the cows to a
safe distance.
Returning to the house, it went to the
nursery, and began Juggling away at

The two great books so far produced

Orders in advance of publication have

Chinese Made Up of 10000 Charac-

Chinese Made Up of 10000 Charac-
ters Not Difficult to Learn.
There are about 60, 900 characters in
the Chinese language proper, but the
average ChinaElan no more learns all
Of those characters than the every day
American learns the 100000 words in
the English language The Chinaman,
however, learns on the average more
than does an American in a similar pO-
sition III life.> A Chinan1an who can
neither read nor write is a rarely, ac-
cording to the New York Evening
Post. Chinese is not a m0nosyllabic
language, as many suppose and it Is
impossible to utter in Chinese any but
the shortest sentences in monosyllables
In writing, the Chinaman makes one
complicated but integral character for
each word, but that word may be
properly spoken in two, three or four
syllables. His syllables are divided by
no longer intervals than are his words,
and that is what makes the language
sound to a foreigner like u sing-song
jargon. We do not know whether he
is telling story or attempting song.
The Chinese, perhaps, think the same
thing Of an American, WHO bites off his
words and swallows them, or telescopes
one into the other. Business men
thrown in contact with Chinese mer-
chants who speak pure Chinese say
that it is not difficult to learn. Instead
Of twenty-six letters, not including the
useless &, the Chinese have 500 or 600
syllables, and these are combined into
various forms to make the 10000
words in their dictionary" These syl-
tables vary in meaning according to
the t ,pe in which they are spoken or
the strokes used in writing them.
A Chlnaman can unite any two Of the
600 sylables and make an intelligent
word. This is not the case with the
English language. This nexibility is
perhaps owing to the shortness Of their
words (seldom more than three sylla-
bles) and the tone or strokes belonging
to the Vllables when spoken or writ
ten. A~syllable may mean one or q
hundred things, and its peculiar mean
ing is limited by placing another syl
liable of similar significance before or
after it, using its particular tone, or
stroke when writing. Sometimes the
syllables are uttered in such rapid sue
| ceSsion that they seemingly form one
| word, but the trained Chinese ear notes
the tones, and he is easily understood
! the marvellous subtleties of accent
| conveying the expression to u nicely.
| He does not have to state proposition
| and then, in order to make himself
clear, restate it by the usual "or, in
other words" There are no ''other
| Words with the Chinese. The tone
| gives the meaning The Chinese have
a system of PA radicals, having
various strokes from one to seventeen,
| which are combined with the charac-
tiers. Each radical has a separate
meaning, generally denoting the SIM
plest object, as man, sky, earth, water,
king. The student first learn these,
which answer to the a 3 9; he rext
studies the syllables or combinations,
and thus he has learned to read and
| spell.

have long done, in their own sphere,
and in many spheres to which only man
is admitted in other countries, as much
work as the men. To this, according to
the New York Journal, is due the fact
that France is to-day the richest coun-
try in Europe.
Women are bookkeepers and shop
keepers throughout France. They re-
ceive money and disburse it in post
offices and country banks; they literally
share the toll of their mates. In the
cafe, the BARRIERS shop, the grocery
store, even at the wine counter, their
presence lends refinement and charm.
Then why should they not be conspicu-
GUS in the public professions for which
the new and higher education has fitted
them? France has long allowed women
students in it's medical schools. Why.
then should not the lady doctor be
prominent in Paris? Here she is. as a
Partisan artist imagines her-the pretty
and interesting doctress Of the near
future. Here she is engaged in an af-
fair of the heart, which concerns the
patient much more than it does her.
One can imagine her giving the poor
fellow her verdict and his medicine,
and then gracefully adjusting her soft
hat on her tresses and calling her car
riage to proceed on her daily round of
visits. Paris laughs at the idea, but

And here is the ''lawyeress,'' clad in

her has nothing Venetian in his appear

GUS in the apparition Of one Of these
charming lawyeresses in the great hall

to consult with their clients in the Paris
Palais de Justice? A woman deputy
has long been thought q possibility in
Paris. This is because women have in
terests to protect; they have helped to
create the wealth and ought to have
the privilege Of voting as to it's dispo-
sition Women representing women
constituents and faithfully fighting for
their rights would seem quite natural
after while, and it would teach the
French masculine deputies to be trifie
more choice in their language when
they get angry. Alphonse Daudet may
some day write novel with lady dep.
uty in it. He would know how TO make

friends at the close Of the seventy

ninth year, and his wife was born two
years later, and is now in her ninety
seventh year. The first sixteen years
of their married life We're spent in
Exeter, where Mr.. Sherman was an in

His eyesight is entirely gone, and his
