NO LIKE CHIN EE.
Mrs. Patton Receives a Let
ter from Ed. HaIseII.

On Board Hancow Boat, enroute
from Canton to Hon Kong, Chi.
ma, October 30th, 1899.
F' DEAR MoTHER-We reached the
Chinese shore Wednesday evening
at III o'clock, and have been on
the 60 ever since. We took in
Shangbi and adjoining country,
then proceeded to Hong Kong.
We gave up the trip to Pekin as it
would take about twenty days to
go from Shanghai, and the weather
gets very cold in that country at
this season. The river Yang Tse-
Kiang is not navigable after Nov
18th, about which time the ice
begins to come down. and by Dec.
1st it is frozen up solid. We will
see enough Of the Chinamen in
Shanghai, Hong Kong, Canton,
Macao and several other cities, and
we win not 30 to Pekin, for when
you see one Chinese town you see
them all and soon tire OF them.
The 6llh and stencil is something
awful. Filth won't kill people or
the Chinamen would all be dead,
especially the poor class. Instead
Of washing their clothes they
grease them, and will eat anything
they can pick up. Their health is
attributed to the fact that they
never drink water but always drink
tea. Wherever you see them at
work you will fnd tea pot with
l.a apparatus for making tea, and
everything they eat is cooked well
their principal food being rice and
fish. The fish OF course is eaten
most any way; poor people boil II
or eat it raw. They also like pork
but never have salt meats as we do.
You can see whole pigs hanging up
in the markets nicely baked. They |
have all kinds of dried meats, such |
as fish, rats, duck and also cat.
Special places you can go and get
nice cat soup and you can see the /
kind of cats that are used, but if
they are able everything is cooked
IN greese.

people; four hundred thousand

fine boats or houses on the water,
a great many Of them two stories
high. When they want to go Wis
iting they pull up stakes and take
house and all. You get to Canton
by boat on Pearl river; it is very
wide and fiat and Canton is where
the river come saround hill. It's
very wide with about ten feet of
water. Canals run through the
city and everything il taken in on
samfans, or what we would call
tugs or fat boats. There is not
vehicle Of any kind in the city and
the only way OF travelling is by
Sedan chairs, or walk. The streets
are six feet wide on an average;
no side walks at all. They are
celebrating the fire of God or fow-
er parade.
The streets were lit up at night
by Chinese lanterns, and their
music almost ran us crazy. The
band consisted Of one horn, gong,
a fiddle with two strings with
rosin pasted on it SO the musician
can grease his bow as be plays, a
wooden drum, and fiat sticks
which they knock together. They
sing regular Shawnee "stomp"

parade they keep this racket up
all night.
What the destiny Of the China.
man is, is hard to tell. We Wis
tied the execution grounds but
there was no one to be beheaded
that day. -Four persons had been
executed three days before and
the decapiIator offered to show us
the heads for ten cents, Mexican,
but we declined. While we were
at Shanghai we went to South
Methodist mission to church. The
service was very impressive. A
Chinese girl led the choir and
played the organ, and they sung
our old Methodist hymns in Chi
nese. The sound was there, but
The tongue, mol Their voices were
good and they all joined in the
hymns. We took tiffin with Miss
Richardson, a missionary who was

Reflections OF a Bachelor,

A girl never refers to man she
doesn't like as "a mean thing"
Before a girl falls in love her kiss is
about as satisfactory as the way a pug
dog sticks his nose in your face in the
dark.
It's a funny thing the way a woman
will always Try to talk to you in the
same key that they are playing the
piano in.
Paris fashions are probably made for
American women to spend money on,
the same way coon songs are got up
for white folk to whistle.
No man has the same respect for a
when she wears hat with a feather in
it that is so long he has to look ont
or it will put his eye out.
The only times love wears 4 mask is
when it's for its complexion.
No man ever kisses a girl he is n
gagged TO as often as he doesn't want
to.
Love is like whiskey: you can stand
lot of it as long as you don't mix your
drinks.
The only lines on our tombstones
that the devil doesn't laugh at are the
ones we carve ourselves.

out of joint with modern methods and
modern thought. Their dealings with
the natives have been characterized by
barbaric cruelties. With fabulous pig
headedness they have failed to grasp
the logic of events. They have seen
the handwriting on the wall, but have
failed to profit from it, Sufficient in
their own conceit they have sought to
turn back the tide of time.
England has asked nothing unjust or
the Beers in demanding that her people
who settle in the South African Repub-
lie shall be admitted, after reason
able length of residence, to the rights
of citizenship. 1t is the same right she
extends to immigrants to her own
country; the same right that has peeh
freely and cheerfully accorded lmini-
grants to the United States since the
adoption of the constitution.
Had the Beers conceded these just
demands there would be no war IN
South Africa today. Failing to do
this they must take the consequences.
The contention of England, must in
the logic of events, be the
contention of the United States
for the political equality she demands
viii he accorded to the immigrants
from all countries upon the same
broad. fair basis. 1t is probable that
the Beers were led into hostilities
largely by an exalted idea of their own
military prowess. 1t was the conf
deuce born of ignorance. Already
they are learning that the Ell Slish can
shoot remarkably straight, and their
conception Of this fact is likely to be
considerably enlarged in the near
future. There can be no doubt
Of the ultimate outcome of

E. BENJAMIN Andrews Latest.

The limitless capacity for stopping
over possessed by L. Benjamin Andrews
is well known to his indulgent country
men. His sad case illustrates the ex
IRENE value and periodical scarcity Of
common-sen in the work Of educa-
ton. After he had hari-kared him
self out Of the presidency of Brown
University he was given the job Of su-
perintending the public schools of Chi
cago, and pitiful mess he has made
Of it. His grotesque attempt to revolu-
tionize English photography has been
followed by something worse some
thing that does not call for serious ar
gument 50 much as for a serious ex-
animation OF the sanity of the man
himself.
f. benjamin Andrews latest is no
less than this: He has run foul of
Rudyard Kipling's "Recessional," and
objects to its inclusion among poems
which may be read in the schools, on
the ground that it has deep re-
atheists who have children in the
schools may be offended. 1t isn't the
literary merit or the political signifi-
carce of the poem which he considers.
He bars it because it is strongly
theiStic"
Well, his assertion is indisputable
The poem invokes the Lord God of
Hosts and grants that it is God be
meath whose awful hand we hold do
minion over palm and pine" The
poem, like every great poem ever
written, recognizes a Supreme Being.
discussion that could possibly offend
anybody. 1t doesn't undertake to de-
eide whether the Deity is of the Trini-
tarian Mahometan or Buddhist order,
and no sane atheist or agnostic would
for moment support DIR. Andrews in
his objections to it. To be in any de-
gree consistent he will have to forbid
the Chicago school children to sing the
patriotic hymn of old with its obnox-
keep them from reading "Thanatop-
sis The Vision of Sir Launfal'' and
nearly all other poems that are, worth
reading. If everything that gives
offense to the convictions of any phase
of belief is to be excluded, what will be
left for the schools to teach?
DR.. Andrews little idiosyncracies

true character, but he would not be
