Prorre.s In China.

It has been agreed by the Chinese
authorities that Chinese girls at Shang-
hal shall receive an English education.
This was decided in a recent meeting
of influential merchants and public Of
ficials of high rank. 1t was also agreed
to establish and endow school at once,
and the annual subscriptions were paid
before the meeting adjourned. The
London papers, in that it has emanated
from the Chinese themselves, consider
the movement a remarkable one. With
education, footb;nding is to be abol-
ished; greater freedom for women in
the family is to be encouraged; and
their intellectual development advanced
in every way. It is believed that other
treaty ports will follow the example
of Shanghai.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

MANY HAPPY RETURNS.

The Father of Annexation" as his
friends like to call DR.. McGrew, cele-
brates his seventy-siXth birthday to-
day. 4 strong personality is the wor-
thy doctor, and man worth knowing.
In his youth he served his country in
the field and won honor in the army.
In his maturer years he served his
country abroad, and steadily advocat-
ed that the Hawaiian Islands should
not only be in the sphere of American
influence, but should become part and
parcel of the Republic.
In this faith the doctor never fall
tered, he preached his doctrines when
many ears were deaf to what he urg-
ed. He worked for his cause in sea-
son and out of season. When The
Star was started the doctor was the
responsible editor, and though others
took up the work he was ever ready to
give his support.
1t is not always given to men to see
the result of their lubors. but to DR.
McGrew it has been given. lie now
lives once more under the flag he
fought to preserve and he knows that
his efforts did much to bring about the
condition of affairs that now exists.
He has lived to see an American army
pass through Honolulu harbor on its
way to expand American territory
and may he live mary a long year
more to see the prosperity of the place
increase, and his own fortune increase
and be honored among us ever, as

HARBOR IMPROVEMENT.

The plans laid down for the relief
Dor facilities seem rather short-sight-
ed. The harbor is small enough in all
conscience and to take away from its
size by building wharves into it does
not seem the wisest thing in the
world. OF course the relief can be
only temporary, and the main fact
still remains to be grappled with, and
that is to enlarge rather than to mar
row.
What are needed are as many slips
as possible. These of course take time
and money to make, but with our con-
stantly growing commerce there must
he money spent in improvements of
this sort. And the improvements
should be on definite plan looking
to the future expansion of our ship
ping trade.
OF course it may be, and is necessa-
ny to give relief at once, but it is going
to cost double the money in the end,
for what is done by encroaching on
the harbor now will have to be I'M
done in the near future. What is pro-
posed to be done must be thoroughly
understood to be a makeshift, and not
a true improvement.
1t should be kept in mind that the
size of freight carriers is increasing

THE GREAT BIRTHDAY.

Christmas is world wide feast
wherever Christianity has spread
there the festival is held. Christmas
paws no regard to nationality, it pays
no regard the scots of Christianity.
The German and the French, the Span
lard and the American, the Britisher
and the Russian. the Protestant and
the Roman Catholic, the Greek church
and the Episcopalian, the Baptist and
the Methodist, all celebrate Christmas,
all think of the birth of the Savior of
the World, the Prince of Peace, whose
doctrines and words we honor and re-
we're, and very often straightway go
and do the direct opposite.
1t is solemn thought that tomor-
row in so many tongues, under so
many forms of religious worship, the
event. that happened nearly 1900 years
ago, and which turned the course of
the western world from its low mate
rialism to its present lofty spiritualis-
tic ideals, should be celebrated. 1t is
a moment when the whole world is
kin.
But if we with due solemnity per-
form our religious duties and think
perchance of the prayers learned long
ago at the mothers knee, but often
and often neglected.; we also make it
season of rejoicing, Il season of OPP
ening the heart to the better emotions
of the human nature.
Family after family meet together
on Christmas day at the festal board.
As the years roll by gaps come in the
family circle, but those who are away
are remembered. and those who have
left for the long journey which we al
must take, sooner or later are
thought of.

of the keenest enjoyment Its pretty

instep of the foot is tired, she should
change her stockings for thin ones,
and put on slippers with a totally diff

case may be. Then she should lie

KING OF SkEEZERS,

Ii Little Farmer Broke Up a Camp
Meeting With a Sneezing Spell,
"Did you ever know man who could
sneeze loud enough to break up a camp
meeting, to stopthe taking of testimony
in court and cause a believing COW to
stop in disgust and wonder what the
noise was that was drowning it's thun-
derous voice?" said an old fisherman
according to a western authority.
On being informed that his sneezer
was entitled to cake, and al the &C
cessories necessary to conduct all up
to-date bakery, the gentleman con-
scented to tell more of his sneezing
friend. He said:
"While fishing in a mountain in
eastern Kentucky last fall, [ went to
the village near by n rainy morning
to attend circuit court. The Judge
vas delivering an impressive charge
to the grand jury, and every ear was
listening to catch each word. when
the stiffness of the court was broken
by an unearthly ker-chew, ker-chew,
ker-chew, ker-chew, etc., etc. The
JOupO was INSTRUMENTATION, d.iu 1uStdul-
ly every eye turned toward the real
of the room, where a little, unobtrusive
looking old farmer sat sneezing
as if his head was coming off. The
judge ordered the sheriff to bring the
intruder before the bench. The Of
fender came forward, and the judge
had a fine entered againstthe innocent
of the disturbance.
"Two of the s~neezer's friends were
called, who testified to the mans good
character and high standing, but said
they could hear him sneeze three miles,
any day in the year. One said the
sneezer broke up a camp meeting with
q sneezing spell, and that he saw an
enraged bovine stop a thunderous bel
lowing fit to look in wonder at the
human who could make more noise
than a mad bull. But the old fellow
couldn't help it, and the fine was re-
mitted."

the Vitality of Seeds,

A very interesting meeting took
place recently at the Chemical society,
when MI. Horace Brown delivered an
address on the vitality of seeds that
had been exposed to very low temper
atures for a considerable time. The
late Professor G. T. Romanes had al
ready shown that seeds could be kept
in an almost complete for a
year OF ere without undergoing any
deterioration in their terminating
properties. A later worker also
adopted the ingenious device of seal
ing up seeds in Geissler tubes for a
long period, when, on subsequently
passing a spark, no glow due to in
candescent carbonic acid gas or nitro
gen was observed, thus proving that
the seeds do not exhale either of these
gases when kept. Mr.. Brown in con-
junction with Professor Dewar, has
maintained seeds at the temperature
of liquid air $50 deg. c. for a con-
tinuous period Of 10 hours. On sub
sequently carefully thawing the seeds
and testing them, they were found to
be completely unaffected. They ger
minated quite as freely as other test
seeds which had not been so treated,
and, in fact, no difference in their be-
hayior could be detected.
