A half dozen years ago a
gentleman of Honolulu re-
marked after buying and ri
ding bicycle that "the day
will come when half of Homo
lulu will be on wheels"
The remark or prophecy has
become literally a fact, for who
is it who will not ride a bicycle
when they can get one that is
as reliable as the Iver John
son
This is a new wheel here
and it will take time to intro
duce it, but once it gets a hold,
or rather once it is seen on the
street and tried it will replace
nearly all the makes now sold
here. We have the liver
Johnson; it is a high grade
bicycle of 1896 pattern and is
sold under a guarantee. George
HI. Paris will ride johnson
and you who are used to
wheels and know a good one
when you see it will recognize
at glance the good points.
We have others. Four
months ago a bicycle agent in
San Francisco in order to in
troduce his wheel took over
from the proprietor of a cycle
ry all the wheels he had in
stock. Some were a week old,
others new, some had been
used a month. They are as
good today as when they left
the factory. We took the
whole stock at bargain.
You have a chance to get
them from us.

CHINESE EDUCATION.
Tho Standard Ecs Changed but Litt!e In
Two Thousand Years.

| Tho Standard Ecs Changed but LittEe In
Two Thousand Years.
They have ne conception Of learning
as under stood in the west-of matke-
matics, chemisty, geology OR kindred
sciences and Of universal history. IN
deed they have a very imperfect knoWl-
| edge Of geography. Their curriculum Of
study embraces the Chinese classics and
| philosophy Ga voIulninous compilation,
| especially holding i'll cminence the
| teachings Il GoIfucir5I the theory Of
| government and Chinese poetry and
| history. It is the standard fixed ., Geo
years ago and has undergone Ilttlo
change in tho succeeding centuries.
OIo Cf oui diplomatic representatives
| tGlIs q q CONVEX alton had with enc If
| :he most distinguished scholars and
highest officers - the empire, il which
they canvassed their respective systems
Of education, and he reports that his
Chinese friend had never heard of HO-
Iner, Virgil or Shakespeare: knew some
thing OF Alexander having crossed the
Indus. had q vague knowledge Of Caesar
and Napoleon, but none whatever of
L
CT other modern soldiers, and he was
ignorant of astronomy, mathematics Or
the modern sciences. When the Ameri-
can minister expressed surprise at these
defects in Chinese education, the man
DARN replied: THAT is your civiliza-
ton, and you learn it. We have ours,
and we learn it. Fer centuries we have
gone on satisfied to know what we
know. Why should we care to know
what you know?'
Yet it must be conceded that Chinese
scholars and officials a1e usually men Of
decided intellectual ability, and they
cannot be set down as uneducated be-
cause they have not followed the curric-
ulum Of study marked out by European
civilization. 1t is I. source Of natural
pride that they possess literature and
philosophy cider than any similar learn
ing Of the west, and which even at this
day are not obsolete, but exercise an
elevating moral and intellectual infu-
ence on a vast multitude OF the human
family.
But no one of his race more than Ii
Hung Chang recognizes the defects Of
the national system of education.
Largely through his influence, the en-
pcEor has established at Picking college
with full faculty Of foreign professors
for the instruction of chosen Chinese
youths i'll the European languages and
modern sciences, with a view to train
ing them for the diplomatic service. So
he has also established at Tien-t sin, fer
the last 20 years his viceregal residence,
schools for military, naval and medical
education, manned by European in
structors, and his example has been fol-

4 SCARED TIGERS LEAP.

Scared lr:H2,,ls leap dista1.>ei ard
heights that must surprise themselves
at times, just as men in a state CT e1-
element DO things that astonish them
when they cool down and begin to think
about what they have done. When a
man makes a long jump up in the
AdlrOndac.-3 20 GCt across a brock he is
said to have ''janlped like q deer" but
should the man have made a leap, as
over a high fence or across a broad
brock, being at the time in a state Of
excitement, as having a bull close after
him, he jumps then like a scared
deer" scared deer making jumps the
unbalanced one could net make.
Tigers do not ordinarily take to trees,
but they have been known to do so when
badly scared at being close pressed.
Captain S. D. Browne tells Of an Indian
tigers leap that landed it in q tree top.
The captain was waiting for the beaters
to drive tiger his way, when one Of
the big cats appeared at the top CT q
steep stony Tayine ciCse at hand. The
big bullet from the captains rifle
knocked the tiger head over heels down
the gully banks. 1t fetched up against
the bottom Oh its feet. Then it made a
frantic dash across the ravine bottom to
tree. The sides Of the gully were too
steep fer even cat to climb, and up
and down there were men ready for it.
The hunted tiger had but a single
chance, slim though it was. The tree at
which it had dashed might conceal it
from the hunters, and up it jumped,
landing among the branches over IS feet
above the ground. A few moments later
another bullet killed it.-New York
