Fond of Eggs,

Among the animals held sacred by
the ancient Egyptians was the ichneu-
mon. or mongooSe, which, because of its
fondness for the eggs of crocodiles and
snakes. proved valuable in keeping
those obnoxious animals from multi
plying too fast. Rev. Chauncry Naples,
a missionary to East Africa. describes
the way in which this peculiar animal,
which in size and general appearance
somewhat resembles the cat. disposes
of its favorite article of diet

Poor old China, whose metaphysics
and dragons haye excited the wonder
of the generations, is fast Goin" TO
pieces We are now witnesses OF ITS
decadence: we shall soon be witnesses
of its destruction. Not many years
hence you will look on the map of the
world. but YOU will find no China there.
The Japanese war was Il tragic reVela'
ton. China has lived behind holttd
doors, and we always supposed that she
could resist a tremendous INVASION,
lad thousand military and naval re-
sources that we knew nothing about.
And when the laps landed on her
shores we thought them rash to the
verge of insanity. We predicted that
the people of China, like Il huge tidal
wave, would sweep them into the sea
But we discovered to our intense sur
prise that China was only bubble;
that our confidence in her had been
misplaced: that her numbers We're an
impeachment, and they trod on each
others heels. and during panic threw
the whole country into chaos; that her
soldiers We're without modern arms
and without discipline; that what big
guns she had were badly handled: and.
in a word, that we had miscalculated,
misreckoned, been utterly mistaken
She was SO large that she was I'M
wieldy. and so lacking in the proper
means of self-protection that she pre-
scented spectacle which was little less
than ridiculous. She reached the last
chapter in her history at that time, and
is now close to the last page of 1t. Lord
Charles Beresford went to China on a
tour of observation in the interest of
trade. His theory was that England
and America by conjoint action could
preserve the integrity of China, furnish
her with improved armament. disci-
pline her army, and SO win from her
some commercial concessions. 1t was
II novel project. but so plausible that
our chambers of commerce swung into
line with him. But he had no sooner
landed in London than. presto, change,
his plan was whistled down the wind.
The England of history does not hell
to protect Il foreign people; she simply
abSorbs them: and so the dream came
to an end when parliament opened its
mouth Now how stands the case!
China, the mysterious nation which
has excited our imagination. is without
doubt dying, dying of old age and in
anition, and the Western nations
which have constituted themselves her
heirs by force of arms, are Selling their
alleged Inheritance before her last
gasp. The gruff old bear of Russia has
appropriated a huge slice of territory
on the north of incStimahc value
France has done the same on the SOUTH
Italy is following the example. and
England will not sit idly by without
demanding her share. China is simply
evaporatng. And it is best SO.

The Car is enthusiastic in promot-
ing the worlds peace-a noble ideal.
But it would perhaps be we'll for him
to keep little of his reforming zeal
for his own empire. His subjects have
need of it. The only obtainable statlS-
tics of the number of persons III the
Russian empire who can neither read
nor write are to be found in the re-
ports of the army and navy recruit
ing departments. A recruit is always
asked If he can read and write and
his answer Is registered. The latest
reports show that Az per cent of the
youths who are raised by the conscrp-
ton are totally illiterate. AS vast
number more males than females are
able to read in Russia, and it is rare
to find an aged peasant who can relu
and write. it may be accepted as
fact that probably not 20 per cent. of
the entire population of the empire
has obtained the first rudimcntS OF
this knowledge. There are over 10000
villages in Russia where no school cX-
lists 1t is calculated that. by di>hand-
ing 100000 men of this huge army the
Car would have funds ut his disposal
for building 10000 schools and 10000
village schoolmasters' houses, and
would have a million pounds sterling
over for paying the teachers salaries
And he would still Lave Nn.ooo sol
diers-a number greater than the com
bned land forces of England. Ger

Perhaps if the government of China

Telephone extension is working a
decided change in conditions through
out the States, where the use of the
"talking machine" is becoming more
common than few years ago. Its
use is developing in purely agricultural
sections, and the best results are re-
ported from its Introduction there. A
report from the leading telephone COM
pany shows an increase in the number
of exchanges established in small coun-
try towns, from which wires are run
TO the interior, connecting, say half n
dozen farmers on one circuit The cost
of telephone service conducted in this
way is reduced to small sum- and is
convenience in sections where farm
houses are several miles apart can be

forced to live amid such trying sur
roundings. Country merchants report
