Easy Punishm ent of Baron Kotz.

Baron Kotze, the slayer of Baron Schra-
der in recent sensational duel, has Just
been sentenced to a two years conhne-
ment in a fortress-the minimum possible
under the law against dueling. The En-
peror, following a custom, will pardon
Kotz after he has spent two months or six
weeks in one of the picturesquely situated
fortresses on the Rhine. That is the
atonement for a duel whose terms were
such as to make it virtually a murder.
Still the days of the duel in Germany are
are nearly over. ALI signs point that way.
Here is funny story:

Athens, Ga, Sept. 26.-The last chapter
in an interesting story that began in

is of interest to Savannah as the scenes

In 1920, a man by the name of McIearn
from Scotland, and his nephew, of the

both bachelors, and as soon as they ar
rived purchased a plantation on the Sa-

LEARNING.
Is a Queer Thing as Measured by the

- a. 0ACNN hAhfs US W thS
Chinese Standard.
From the Century.
They have no conception of learning az
understood in the west-of mathematics,
chemistry geology or kindred sciences,
and of universal history Indeed. they
have a very imperfect knowledge of geog
raphy. Their curriculum of study EN-
braces the Chinese classics and philosophy
"a voluminous compilation, especially
holding in eminence the teachings of Con-
fucious), the theory of government and
Chinese poetry and history. 1t is the
standard fixed 1000 years ago. and mas
undergone little change in the succeed
ing centuries.
one of our diplomatic representatives
tells of a conversation had with one of
the most distinguished scholars and high
est officers in the empire, In which they
canvassed their respective systems of ed
ucation, and he reports that his Chinese
friend had never heard of Homer Virgil
or Shakespeare; knew something of Alex
ander having crossed the Indus, had a
vague knowledge of Caesar and Napoleon,
but none whatever Of Hannibal Peter
the Great, wellington or other modern
soldiers, and he was ignorant OF astron-
omy, mathematics or the modern sciences.
When the American minister expressed
surprise at these defects in Chinese edu-
cation the mandarin replied; That is
your civilization, and you learn it; We
have ours and We learn 1t. For centuries
We have gone on satisfied to know what
we know. Why should we care to know
what you know
Yet Il must be conceded that Chinese
scholars and officials are usually men Of
decided Intellectual ability. and they can
not be set down as uneducated because
they have not followed the curriculum OF
study marked cut by European civiliza-
ton. It is a source of natural pride that
they possess a htera ture and philosophy
oldsc than any similar learning Of the
west and which even at this day are not
obsolete but exercise an elevating moral
ana Intellectual influence on a vast mul
ttudo Of the human family.
