Il HUNG CHANGES DUPLicITY
How m Eaglish Captain Was Secured for
Chinese Service.

Chinese Service.
In engaging the services OF a COM
petent British officer to organize the
Chinese navy, the government. e.,
Ii Hung Chang was obliged to resort
to duplicity in order to effect q SEM
blance of reconciliation between the
naval service and the mandarin sys-
tenn. After the experience gained in
his first term OF service in China, Capt.
Lang declined tn re-enter it without
adequate substantive rank. Whether
this stipulation was made by the Brit
ish board Of admiralty before giving
him leave to serve, or was imposed by
Capt. Lang himself, is immaterial.
What the yiceroy had to do was to con-
trive form of words which would
satisfy the condition without disturb
ing the Chinese official arrangements.
Capt. Lang was given the title of
eo-admiral with Ting, while all author
ity was secretly withheld from him.
So long as Admiral Ting was present.
Capt. Lang did not discover his true
position. Hie advice was followed, he
was on the most cordial terms with his
co-admiral, and there was nothing to
show that he was not, de facto, COM
n,ander in chief. AS soon, however, as
an accident eaueed the two to be sop
a.ated the situation was, revealed.
Lang's order to hoist the admiral flag
was disobeyed, and Commodore Liu as
sumed command Of the feet. An ap-
peal by. telegram to Viceroy Ii only
brought strong confirmation OF the
fact that Lang's Chinese rank was
never intended to be other than sham.

In recent years the size and number
of icebergs seen in the south Atlantic
and south Pacific oceans have both been
enormous, and various suggestions have
been made to account for the phenome-
non. Evidently something unusual has
been going on in the unknown regions
surrounding the south pole. The latest
suggestion bearing on this subject
comes from Mr.. III. C. Russell, who has
presented it before the Royal Society OF
New South Wales. His idea, in brief,
is that there has been an extraordinary
outburst of the great volcanoes known
to exist within the Antarctic circle, and
that the consequent shaking of the ice
clothed shores of the Antarctic conti-
nent has resulted in the breaking OF of
immense fragments OF ice, which have
aftcrward been driven northward by
winds and currents.-Youth's Com

JEFFERSON City, Mo-, Aug. ga
Post Dispatch correspondent saw

what he had to say about his nomina-

The Judge said: "Why I was nomi-

it was done. That is all 1 know about

School Age of Children.

To the Editor of the Ledger
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, August 31.-DEAR
ISIR: / see a short communication
from my old schoolmate, Prof. A. Lee,
ion the proposed constitutional amend
iment, changing the age of children
from 6 to 5 years as the age of ma
circulation. I am of the opinion that
his argument against the proposed
change,a as appears in your paper, can
not be sustained. First, the paper
offers the argument that children at
the age of five are too young to be
confined in the school room. / submit
that every child must learn to be con-
fined in a school room preparatory to
method and government and proper
discipline. In bending the young
scion or twig you should do the bend
ing as early as possible, "sooner the
better" That the fifth year, If care
fully and properly utilized, viii be to
the student of after years the most
valuable year in his history. By all
means admit them and let them learn
the discipline, order and decorum of
the school DON Second, sSchool
over-crowded and the teachers over
worked" am sorry to say that the
logic of this position seems to me to
be wholly untenable. If the lack of
room is a sufficient argument against
the admittance of infant pupils it
would be applicable to the six or seven
year old matriculate or even at 10 or
IL years of age, so the argument can
be sustained and goes to the wall
by the force of its own logic. So also
is it with the idea Of the over-workedl
teachers. They must be over-worked'
with pupils of any age. So allow me
to say that first-class instruction to
the m~atriculate of five years in the
use of methods adapted to his tender
years is just as necessary as first-cIass
in the use of methods !
adapted to his more mature years to
the graduate from the high schools or
colleges in closing the work OF seho-
lastIc training.
Very Truly,

1t is not unusual for druggists to
recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to their customers. Many OF
them have used it themselves, or in
their families and know from personal
experience its great value in the
treatment of coughs, colds and Group.
They know too that their customers
are their best friends and naturally
wish to give them the most reliable
medicine they have for these ailments.
Messrs. Daugherty Bros, prominent
druggists of Indiana, Pa, say, "We
sell more of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy than of any other cough
syrup, and always take pleasure in
recommending it to our customers"
