I present time the mastery of the
Chinese language opens vista
- Of possibilities in a business way
which it is not we'll to disregard.
A man or woman who besides being
ordinarily well educated in English is
able to speak and write Chinese fluent
ly and correctly may hereafter be
reasonably sure of remunerative en-
ployment either at home or abroad.
There is even now a demand, which
will inevitably increase constantly for
some years to come, for interpreters,
clerks and agents who are competent
to converse and correspond in both Ian
guages; and those who are wise enough
to forsake the crowded highroads of
ordinary occupations and strike off in
to byways such as these will find that
they lead to financial success.
1t Is because Of it's appreciation Of
these facts that the University of Cali
fornia has within the past year opened
to the general public an extension

ner who is acknowledged to be one of
the most finished and thorough Chinese
scholars in the United States, holds the

branch of study, and that he is doing
very excellent work in a modest and
unassuming way IS shown by the class
records and the fact that the number of
pupils enrolled this term is more than
double the number that attended last
winter and spring.
It is the commonly received opinion
among the generality Of people that
Chinese is one Of the most difficult Ian
guages IN the world for a foreigner of
any nationality to learn. This idea.
Of course, is based upon the disconcert-

Gold nnh silver sirn..

Nearly 100000 worth of gold and
over 100000 worth of silver are left
out Of doors. unguarded, every night
the year round In Greater New York.
No one ever thinks of stealing 1t, and
indeed until some inventive thief
comes along the owners need have no
fear. because the wealth is securely
glued down and generally from ten to
100 feet above the sidewalk.
1t is on the signs of the city. Gold
and silver leaf. far purer than the
metal which Uncle Sam uses for his
coins, amounting In value to over
100000 a year, is used on the signs OF
this city. One brewery alone spends
$4,000 annually for gold and silver
leaf. Next to the brewers the cigar
manufacturers go In most extensively
for gold and silver signs, while a good
authority has estimated that on the
