From all that can be learned of the
middle at Samoa it appears that the
German consul, Rose is a very frac-
tious, pompous and unreasonable SORT
of Dogberry, who is eaten up with his
own official Importance, and would
rather at any time have hundred men
killed than sacrifice one inch of red
tape. He not only treats the American
admiral and the chief justice with sub
lime contempt, but he brings on trouble
regularly that ends in a collision and
bloodshed. No other construction can
be put upon Admiral Kautz's dis
patches. If in the cooler councils of the
three countries involved it should be
considered polite to remove everybody
and begin all over again with new
set Of men, our representatives will
suffer injustice. The English and Amer
lean officers have stood shoulder to
shoulder and tried to carry out what
they understood were the wishes of
their governments and the intent of the
Berlin treaty. Whenever they have
tried to do this, Consul Rose has risen
up and cried, "Ah, but there is tech
nicalityl' And then the natives fell to
killing each other.

Governor Rollins of New Hampshire
in fast day proclamation lamented the
decline Of religion in his state He said
that the decline is a marked feature of
our times and declared that there were
many towns in New Hampshire where
the sound of the churchgoing bell was
no longer heard. This statement has
called forth a great many contradic-
tions. because it conveys wrong in
ference It is pointed out that religion
has not declined because the religious
people have gone to other towns. AS to
the general decline of religion in the
United States, the statistical evidence
is that it is increasing slowly along new
lines. The old fashioned revivals are no
longer powerful factor of increase,
but the influence of religious thought
and teaching is making itself felt in
great humanitarian work. in endow-
ments and in literature

Mr.. H. T. Peck of London appears to
have struck new science. He calls it
nasology. It is the science of reading
character by the shape and size of the
nose, not indeed as terrier would do
it, but as philosopher. The science
appears to have been born about the
time that Cyrano de Bergerac appeared
Mr.. Peck thinks it is far more scientific
to read the nose than to try to read
the lines in ones hands or the knobs on
ones head, and he has large following
in certain social circles where nose read
ing threatens to become fad. Young
women who were afraid that their char
acters might be projecting from their
faces went to him to have their noses
read. ''Show me what perfume girl
likes" says Mr.. Peck, land I will
show you the kind of man she will
marry But this will not strike the
average layman as very acute. If the
girl says that she prefers the fragrance
of boiled cabbage, she will probably
marry cook. "No one,' says Mr.
Peck, with a fine air of authority,
"should think of marrying a girl who
perfumes herself with corylopsis. But
this is an insult to the average girl, who
doesn't know what corylopsis is Mr.
Peck ought to get to hand book of
smells.

A Chinese view.

Everybody should be interested to
know just how an intelligent and re-
sponsibla sative Of China regards his
own country III its relations to the
pressing demands Of western civiliza-
ton. That view has been presented by
WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister
to this country, who recently delivered
an address on the subject at the invita-
tion of the Century club His dignified
remarks had the smell of camphor on
them and seemed to have been handed
down from Confucius. They are SO
suave and antique that they are worth
reproducing in part for the study of
the average American SOCIOLOGY 1.-THE
different nations in the vest says the
Chinese minister, "have within the
present century advanced SO much in
science, knowledge and wealth that it
has become the fashion to speak of them
as the most civilized nations on the
face of the earth and to consider the
nations in the east as much below them
in civilization-in fact, as barbarous or
semicivilized. But the east has civil
zation Of it's own. Of that civilization
China is the chief exponent. It is not
a civilization of mushroom growth.
There is not nation standing today
that can place it's history as far back as
China. It has witnessed the rise and
fall of all the ancient dynasties, and it
was present at the birth of all the med
ern nations Of Europe. During the 40
centuries of her existence there have
gradually grown up institutions and
laws adapted to the needs and character
| of her people. She has literature as
extensive and varied as that of ancient
and modern Europe, system of moral
ity that can challenge comparison with
any other the world has ever produced.
You may ask why Egypt Persia,
Greece and even mighty Rome have
successfully succumbed to the ravages
of time while China alone has survived?
| The answer is not far to seek. It is the
survival of the fttest. The working of
| this memorable law of nature constantly
weeds out those nations that cannot
adapt themselves to the ever changing
conditions of life. and the fact that
China is standing today shows conclu-
sively that she has not outlived her
usefulness in the cause Of civilization.
This is a remarkab BILE instance of a
mandarin from far Cathay shifting US
between the eyes with the law of NAL
thus and the doctrines of Darwin.

The Earl of Rosslyn is coming over

under the management of Mr. Charles
Frohman. The manager calls this a
dramatic event, but there is look in
the corner Of his eye which seems to
say that it may turn out a social event.
A real live earl, it is believed, need not
bother with much dramatic ability, and

when the regular show is over, and it

discussion is going on over the matter
and, as usual, some of the French pa

the rather vapid plea that Frenchmen
must be taught to approve of games of

efforts are of no more value than the

The Gambling Crazc Abroad.

The growth of the gambling craze in
London begins to alarm both the moral
lists and the authorities, and recent ez-
posures of the extent and recklessness
Of the vice in the west end have occa-
stoned something like shock. It came
to light that young man lost 500, 900
in one night at the Bachelors club.
This exposure brought out other star
fling facts. In one west end club mem
Der who had lost heavily falsifed the
books ct his employer to cover his losses.
The fraud involved $50, and he
fled. His wife, however, with poverty
and disgrace staring her in the face,
made desperate move. She went to
the club and threatened unless the loss
was made good to expose the whole in
side business Of the club, whereupon
the members Clipped in and made up
the sum. It is now said that heavy
gambling is carried on nightly in all
the fashionable clubs and even in the
women's lotteries. What is called in
England ''the best society" is sadly i'm
plicated in this matter. A correspond
ent Of the New York World, writing
from London, points out that the quick
est way for Americans of wealth to get
into the swell circles of London is to
start at Homburg or Monte Carlo and
play recklessly. At these places English
society is always on the lookout for
somebody with plenty Of gold, and with
little tact the American can carry tie
acquaintance thus formed back with
him to the London clubs.
