like a good piano, but the tone
test tells the tale. Most pianos
when lightly touched, are
pleasant to the ear; but when
a little force is used will be
found to yield tone that is
shrill and uncertain, instead of
distinct, pure and round.

While the eligibility of women to mem

unquesuoned, there has been some doubt
whether, under the charter, they were
eligible to membership on the library
board. Their status was settled by a
constitutional amendment, adopted in
1855, which reads:
Section S.-N omen may vote for school
officers and members OF library boards
and shall be eligible to hold any oNice

Any woman Of the age of q years and
upward, possessing the qualifications

NEW YORK, July 1S-A dispatch from
London says:
THE entire region of the Yantse is in
a state Of unrest Shanghai is menaced
with a native uprising, and the Northern
provinces are in open revolt. While the
Improvement in the situation at Tien Tsin
is considerable, the Chinese rebels are
swarming outside the city, and there are
strong reasons for believing that the
bulk of the regular army are saturated
with the Boxers spirit of hatred against
foreigners. This feeling of antagonism,
which promoted indiscreet appeals for
vengeance and menaces that one stone
shall not be left upon another In Peking,
are reproduced in China from the Eng
lish press. 1t is a good time for every
body to keep cool and avoid Incorporate
language, by which the work Of the allied
forces in China will be immeasureably
increased Civilized nations cannot make
war with Oriental savagery and barbar-
ism. They cannot wage war on mission
of vengeance, but may enter China as re-
formatory agents, with well ordered work
to be done in the interest of civilization
and humanity.
Men of sound judgment here assert
that as America could not make war on
Cuba in revenge for the destruction Of the
Maine, but only as moral agent
pledged to redeem the island from mis-
rule, so also the civilized world must
cease breathing out threats Of fire and
slaughter to create a new order In Chi
ma, or else to stay out altogether. They
add that the new order cannot be brought
about without partition OF territories"
