held under the auspices of the Gov
crnmcnt. The examinations are very
severe, and probably not more than
one in hundred passes the first cx-
animation and receives the degree Of
"Slu-tsoi, corresponding to our
Bachelor Of Arts. Those who have
attained this degree can continue their
studies if they will and aftcrward take
examinations for the degrees of ecu
ing Mastcr Of Arts, and Cling scu'
doctor Of Philosophy. Men with
these degrees possess official prestige
and power. 1t is considered a great
honor to obtain degree and when the
lucky holder arrays himself in classic
robes and calls upon his friends, they
give him presents, make fcasts for him
and show him great respect. About
10 per cent. of the male population
have some education along the lines
outlined. Very few of the females are
educated all. Not more than per
cent. can read
When the missionaries began work
in China they at once began to pay
much attention to the educational
problem. 1t was easy to start schools
and to have them we'll attended, be-
cause every Chinaman considered it
an honor to be able to read and when
the missionaries opened schools, at
which no charge was made for tuition,
there was no trouble to find scholars.
For more than fifty years Christian
people have been working to educate
the people of China. Here at Foo
chow we have the Anglo Chinese
college, with which is associated over
$50 day schools in the country round
about the city. These day schools we
call Especial Gift Schools because
they are supported by the special gifts
of friends in America and not by the
missionary societies Of the church.
In these special gift schools we have
four years course of study. onc-half
Of which consists Of books prepared by
missionaries and the other half care
fully selected book Of the sagcs,
which all Chinese must know in order
to be considered educated. Geogra-
ply. physiology, history and astron-
omy are taught, as well as the studies
that are purely Christian. Examina-
tions are held quarterly. In these
elementary schools only native Chi
nese teachers are employed, under the
supervision of the missionaries. From
the day schools the pupils go to the
boarding or high school and pursue a
i've years course of study which in.
ciudes Chinese classics, mathematics,
history, science and books on the
Bible. From the high schools the
pupils can enter either the college or
the theological seminary, where the
studies are much the same as in SINH
lar institutions at home.

Modern Chinese Solomon.

The following remarkable incident
occurred recently, according to the
New York Herald, in the province Of
Honan, in China: Three men appear
ed before Judge there, and each laid
claim to the same woman as his wife.
Not one of them would retire in favor
OF the other two, but each insisted
that justice should be done to him.
Finally, the Judge, remembering,
doubtless, how King Solomon had
acted in a somewhat similar emer-
gency, exclaimed: well, if you three
men cannot come to some agreement.
nothing remains for me but to order
that the woman shall be killed, as
there is no other way in which the
matter can be satisfactorily settled"
He then called for large cup of wine
and, when it was brought, he poured
into it some dark powder and compell-
ed the woman to drink it. Excited as
she was, the woman speedily began to
feel the effect of the strong liquor.
She stammered when she tried to
speak, and her flushed cheeks were an
indication to the observers that the
poison was working and that her end
was near at hand.
This was the climax for which the
Judge had waited. When he saw that
the woman was apparently dying he
called one Of tho three men who claim.
her as wife and bade him remove her
from the Court room. This man,
however, showed no inclination to do
so, and the Judge there upon insisted
that he renounce all rights to her.

second man. Only one claimant was
now left, and he agreed to remove the
woman and care for her until she died
Satisfied that he was her real hus
band, the Judge called him and said:
"You will not be sorry for acting in
this manner. Have no fear for you,

drunk was ordinary wine, and the Dow

Wide RamIHca tions of the Plot to Steal ut
Havana

Havana. May 1.-THE extent of
the postal frauds is far greater than
originally expected. Besides taking in
the postal department the frauds seem
to include the Havana office and vari-
Gus others throughout the island and
also to have eXtented TO outside points,
which have been used for the sale of
some of the old issues of stamps order
ed destroyed.
The result of the investigation at the
local postotiice is the suspension of
Postmaster Thompson. Moya and Ma
scare, stamp sellers in the main office,
have also been arrested and further
arrests are expected tomorrow. Six
others have been placed under close
supervision and will be arrested as
soon as their services can be spared.

Of duty II would not be possible to
carry on the postal department of Ha-
yana.
Reeves and Reynolds, auditors of the
postal department, are still under ar
rest. All prisoners connected with the
frauds will be imprisoned soon.
To-day arrests and the suspension
of Mr.. Thompson did not take place
until after dark, consequently these
new features Of the case are not gen.
orally known. but there is percept-
fble excitement at the postoffice, where
no one knows who may be arrested
next.
The frauds ramified in almost every
direction. Even the rented boxes have
been made a source Of illegiimate

Heavy feeders on animal food are
predisposed to all kinds OF infamma-
tory disorders, and when any such
person finds himself getting out OF
condition he may safely hedge in the
matter Of flesh food. cutting down the
amount of such food or omitting it
altogether with perfect safety. A
strict vegetarian diet, even, cannot be
called an experiment. since We know
that millions of people thrive on 1t,
and no one could ever starve on 1t.
With fruit, nuts. milk and eggs added,
no lack of variety need be felt. The
Japanese are a healthy, handsome
race. They are plump and hearty, but
little beyond simple vegetarian diet is
the rule there. The rikisha men walk
and trot forty miles day with a
seated passenger and seem proof
against fatigue and they thrive on
diet chiefly of rice.
