Of Matthew Arnold as a school-exam-
liner the author of Pages from Pri-
vate Diary" has this to say: "Arnold's
reports are very good reading, but his
methods of examination were some
times highly poetical. | remember a
tale told by a fellow-inspeetor of a
class of girl-pupil teachers that he
asked Arnold to examine for him. Ar
mold gave them all the excellent mark.
But said the other inspector, surely
they are not all as good as they can De;
some must be better than Others Per

then. you see, they are all such very
nice girls"

The higher education of women in

stances even upheld. by Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang, and through him by the
vast Flowery empire! Such, surprising
as it seems, is the present status of the
woman question in China, the still
shadowy beginning of vast social rev.
olution; a result of the astute states
mans occidental tour.
At least a number of his recent acts
and the complacency with which they
are received by the public so signify.
One of these, coincident with his return,
was the choice of DIR. Rachel Q. Benn,
of Tien-Tsin, where is his palace, as
physician to the women of his house

appointment as delegate to the wom-
ems congress to be held in London in
1898 of two young Chinese girls, Miss
Wang and DR.. Hu King Eng.

and the blind was made to see.
The only son of wealthy mandarin

HAS A BICYCLE AlRSHIP.
william Stewart. of st. Louis, Com
pIetes q Novel Apparatus.


William Stewart, an inventor of st.
Louis, has completed the airship upon
which he has been working for two
years, and the machine is about ready
to sail. Associated with him are his
brothers, Charles and DIR. Wellington
Adams, the noted electrician and in
ventor.
The machine weighs about 600 pounds
and is adapted to carry two persons.
The occupants furnish the motive
power with their feet. after the manner
of pedaling a bicycle. They occupy
seats attached to the iron framework
or car of the boat. Attached to the
pedals is an endless chain, which OPP
crates the propellers. wings and rud-
ders. The person seated at the front
of the car causes the aeroplanes on top
of the ship to revolve and lift it in the
air. A lever near at hand serves to OPP
crate the rudder and sail. The second
occupant furnishes the power to turn
the propelling wheel.
The canvas above the car is inflated
with gas sufficient to overcome the
weight of the entire machine, so that
the lifting force will be no greater than
that expended in riding bicycle over
the ground. The balloon portion is
concave, so that balance may be bet
ter obtained. The rudder is in front
instead of the rear. and is manipulated,
Mr.. Stewart says. on the principle that
birds use in changing their course.
The ship is rs feet long, 26 feet from
the bottom of the car to the wing on
top and about feet wide. Inventor
Stewart says that his ship can't fail,
and is ready 10 mount the saddle and
ride away into space.

A Merchant,. Costly Joke.

Finding a purse containing 80 cents
ON the sidewalk in front of store in a
Maine town, an honest woman picked
it up and took it to the storekeeper.
He was funny man, so he hung up
the purse in the window above n sign,
reading: "Found-this purse, con-
tanning a large sum of money" When
he came to open the store next morn
ing, the purse was gone, and there was
a big hole in the plate glass window.
The robbers made it rather costly

grandfather, HUI, was a mandarin of in
fuence. In the SEVENTEEN year of his
age ne became a convert TO the"Jesus
doctrine" and with him his two sons,
HUI Pc Mi and HUI Yong Mixing Eng's
fatber-both of whom for more than 80
years have been Methodist pastors and
presiding elders. Soon Grandmother
Hu and her daughters-in-law, all of the
bound-foot class, influenced by convinc-
ing, even coercive, arguments, also re-
luctantly embraced the alien faith.
When quite child, King Eng was
placed in the girls boarding school at
Foochow. where, in time. she developed
into a thorough student, evincing
marked artistic ability-an inherited
talent. Furtive peeps into the dispen-
sary and wards of the adjacent hospital,
however, determined effectually her vo.
cation to be, not art, but medicine.
With that end in view the little high
caste Celestial maid, now in her 18th
wear, came across the seas, having met
and conquered bitter, determined oppo.
sition. She Immediately entered the
Ohio Wesleyan university, graduating
four years later a master of arts. Three
years more of study, and the degree Of
doctor of medicine was conferred by the
Woman's Medical college of Philadel
phia, and, also, after brief POSTCARD
uate course, by the Philadelphia Poly
clinic. Then followed several months
of practical work in the Woman's hos
pital of Boston.

There is one trait of our national
character which foreigners can never
comprehend, and that is our unshakable
faith in our ability to ''come ont all
right in the end" We stand idly and
more or less indifferently by and allow
a country to be pushed to the verge of .
financial or political precipice under
the impulse of some kind of popular
craze or another, entirely confident that
just before it slips over we can take
hold Of it and pull it back. We have
done this again and again, and nothing
seems to shake our faith in our ability
to repeat the operation whenever occa-
sion arises. 1t costs Ms enormously, not
only in reputation, but also in money,
and retards our growth and progress in
thousand ways, but nothing seems
likely to cure us OF the habit, unless it
be great national calamity due to our
failing in some crisis to take alarm
quickly enough.

but she should not readily believe those
who tell her that by hard blows alone
may its integrity be protected.
"A nations honor consists in fidelity
to her engagements, in carrying out her
contracts in spirit as in the letter, in
paying her just debts, inrespecting the
rights of othese, in promoting the well
fare of her people, in the encouragement
Of truth, in teaching obedience to the
law, in cultivating honorable peace
with the world. How can our national
honor be 30 grievously invaded that
there can be no room for remonstrance,
no time for discussion. no opportunity
allowed the aggressor for amendment!
Spain within a few years offended Ger
many most previously, and, 1t was said,
insulted her flag, but Germany never
theless arbitrated with Spain and al
lowed the pope to decide the question
at issue. Has Germany's honor suffered
thereby?
I'VE seized British ships in the Behr-
ing sea and condemned them in our
ports-a most grevious insult according
to the sensitive and self-constituted
custodians of British honor. but Great
Britain adopted peaceful counsels. and
a wise court heard, examined, and de-
cided the case without any apparent
injury to British honor. As
with men honor often means pride I'M
embarrassed by scruples. SO it may be
with a nation. The standard with men
differs according to latitude and sur
roundings to social institutions and ira
ditions, to civilization, religion, and
many other things. Men resort to the
| shotgun, the revolver, the bowie knife
| or the club to heal or defend their hon.
or. and lose it as often as they mend it.

with the great organ in the hall, fur
nished music for the occasion. The ora
ton of the day was delivered by Hon.
Frederic r. Coudert of New York. who
spoke on WAR and Arbitration" His
address was received with great favor
by the audience. He began with a
eulogy of George Washington, stating
that Notwithstanding the country had
other great men in all the departments
of human activity, yet Washington re-
rowned first in war; first in peace;
and first in the hearts of his country
men," The speaker then referred to the
facts that man was a fighting animal;
that military heores had always been
most popular and to the former PEN
aties Of peace.
Was Degrading to Labor.
At that time it was degrading to Ia
Dor; but these ideas had changed: labor
was honorable now and human life was
growing more valuable. He then told
Of the costliness of war in human lives,
referring to the losses in some of the
battles of the Franco-Prussian war, and
said that war was fast becoming obso-
lutte. He said: over 100 years ago the
young commonwealth made its first
| treaty of arbitration to settle question
| of boundaries with Great Britain, and
from that day until this she has never
hesitated to control her resentments and
| to hold back the anger of her people,
that judgment and not violence might
| determine the right. Great
Britain, to her honor be 1t said, has not
been far behind us in the example that
We have given. She too, has preferred
law to violence. There are few
more hopeful signs in the history of
arbitration than that between Great
Britain and the United States which
is known as the Geneva arbitration.
Both Motions Had Much to Forgive.
Both nations had much to forgive,
and much cause for resentment, but
they mastered the temptation, and the
result was the great lesson of the Gen.
fury. Since this great object lesson In
international arbitration, it is idle to tall
of insurmountable obstacles in the way
Of promoting peace. If the United
States could condone the depredations OF
the Alabama, and Great Britain could
pay for them, as she did, arbitration
must be easy. But it was never so easy
as today" The speaker quoted Gen
erals Grant, Sherman and others a
denouncing war and criticised Vol
Moltke for saying: WAR enters int,
the views and designs of Providence;
Is a means for the people worthy o
fulfilling their object on earth, a divin
mission not to fall into decay, and to re
temper the edge of their manhood"

with something better and greater than
the world has seen. II is proposed to

spent its first hour yesterday in listen
ing to Washington's farewell address
read by Daniel, and then turned its
attention to the Indian appropriation
bill. The clause directing temporary

cy of the government hereafter to
make no appropriations whatever for
the support Of sectarian schools. The
bill IL still under consideration.
A veto from President Cleveland on a
private pension bill brought out sharp
criticism from Gallinger against the
presidents course. Morgan said that
the passage of all these bills would in
volve less expense than the amount
which went to the syndicate taking the
bond issues. An attempt to pass the
territorial judicial bill failed although
the fate Of four men to be executed to-
day depended upon its passage. There
