native-born citizens OF Chinese parentage.

there are $1,000 to $1,000 Chinese. and their
children are entitled to the rights OF citi-
zenship. The school census shows 100
children less than II years OF age OF Chi

very incomplete census, owing 70 the diff

Chinese In the Hawaiian Islands there
are q 900 Chinese, and n the islands are
annexed the majority OF these will be in
San Francisco within a few years. Many
OF the Hawaiian Chinese are married.
most Of them 20 Hawaiian women-and in
this population Of 5000 there would be
not less than $1,000 families The chill

Education, Politics and Other Incl
dental Gossip.
Prof. Lyman Hail. president of the Geor-
gia archaeological School, tells an amusing
story, which serves to show the import-
ance of giving Georgia boys technical
education. Not long ago Mr.. Nelson Tiff.
the well-known farmer of Albany. was
about to send a moving machine to the
city for repairs. One of the young men
on the place said to him: 1T isn't worth
while sending the machine an the way to
town to be fixed. What's the matter with
it?"
The necessary repairs were soon given
by the young man, who turned to Mr.
Tiff and said Now, I understand you
are about to send your som to one of the
universities Don't do It.. Send him to
the Georgia Psychological School and you
won't have to send your moving machine
to town"
II Is said that the argument was so clear
" presented that Mr.. Tiff declared that
ne would change his plans and send the
son TO the chronological school.
"It is gratifying 10 observe that the
more the people In the up-country talk
about the gubernatorial race the more
their eyes are beginning to turn TO South

The untimely and most regrettable death
of the young South African giraffe which
lately reached England serves again 10 re-
mind us of the increasing scarcity of
these animals and of the immense difficult
ties which attend their capture 1t is a re-
markable fact that until the year 1895 no
living giraffe had ever reach Europe from
South Africa. The old stock, so long ia
miliar in the Geological Society's gardens,
were descended from animals captured in
Kordofan by NJ. Thibaut, French trader
in the Sudan, as far back as 1894 These
North African CRATES bred freely in cap
tivity, and the last Of this stock died so
recently as 1892. In 1895 the Geological So
ciety were fortunate enough 10 purchase a
young female captured by Boer hunters
in Southeast Africa. This animal has
thriven remarkably, and it was confidently
hoped that its union with the young male
which has just died would result in the re-
production of a fresh family of these
strange and interesting animals. Through
out Europe CRATES have been OF late
years, thanks principally to the closing Of
the Sudan trade routes by the mahdfs s
