Cooducation in ENGLAND

University College was the first mans
college in England to throw onen to
facilities for instruction to women M
an equal footing with men, and adonted
from the start the principle of coeduca-
ton without reserve. When. in 1873
the University of London first admitte1
women to all degrees without excention
the college received them In Its faculty
of arts, since which time they have heen
admitted to all faculties except TINT op
medicine, and to all scholarships. nrtzas
ana certificates awarded by the college
IN those faculties. Until recently many
scientific courses were closed, such "a
chemistry, physiology, ETC., on account
or their connection with the forbidden

Chinatown of San Francisco was
keeping holiday, and all was gaiety and
hustle.
The narrow, picturesque streets We're
decorated with brightly-colored Ian
terms, while overhead above the roof
tops, the yellow dragon-fiags floated
against a blue California sky.
1t was a sunny day in February; and
the streets We're sWarming with a null
titude of C~hinese-men, women and
c~hildren-all arrayed in their richest
holiday attire. The children especially,
with their bright faces and black eyes,
and in their pretty costumes, formed a
most pleasing and interesting feature
of this living Oriental picture.
Everybody seemed to be happy and
good-natured; and ever and anon, as a
group of friends met, they stopped and
amid much ceremonious bowling eX-
changed the compliments of the season;
Tor this festive occasion was nothing
more nor less than the celebration of
the Chinese New Year.
The idea of celebrating New Years
Day in February may strike some of
my readers as odd. But, since this has
been the Chinese custom from time i'm

first of January as the proper time, the
Chinese, perhaps, are not far wrong
in %supposing themselves to be at least
as much in the right as ourselves Tbis
question, however, was of no concern to
this merry holiday throng. They We're

cohtelhpt-common to all Chinese-for
'outside barhafians." This term em-
braces all nations not living within he
sacred boundaries of 'The Floverv
lAlngdom,' and includes the jnhahi-
tants OF oil the world; and these urfo.-
tunate outsiders are broadly divided
into classes-Eastern and Western hor-
barians.-St. Nicholas.

A M~eteoric Bomb.

Several remarkable meteors, seen in
u around New York City on the
afternoon of December 4th last were
the subject of discussion at a recent
meeting of the New York Academy of
Sciences. One passed over Central
Park, one wa seen from the BROOKLYN
bfldge and one appeared at Fordham.
AT nearly the same hour q metaor
passed over Passaic, Iryington and
Danbury, Connecticut, and one burst
near halfway, and apparently came TO

study of the reports concerning these
Phenomena 1t has been suggested tlst
