Nearly all the women who are promj-

original compositions of some kind or
another as soon as they could hold a
pen. Mrs. Meade has produced over
100 works Of fiction. and is still a lady
in her prime, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. Mrs. Hodgson Burnett began
her literary career in earnest at the
early age OF Is. Reverses had come to
the family by reason OF the cotton fam
Inc, and she was anxious to help the
family funds. Edna Lyall began to
write stories when she was about nine
years old. She wrote as she says, "for
the Joy of writing" and because she
could not resist the craving to describe
the beloved heroes and herolnes who
filed her young imagination"

CALLING LOANS IN CHINA.
Action of Banks n. knshing, a Few
Miles From Shanghai.

NEW YORK. July 2S.-Word has reached
this city that banks in Kashing, China,
have beguT to call in loans in anticipa-
ton OF serious trouble. Kashing has three
or four banks which do in the aggregate
considerable business. 1t is manufac-
turing town about fifteen miles from
Shanghai.
A banker familiar with the conditions in
China. who has visited Kashing, said to-
day "Kashing is an interior town, so the
action of its banks in calling in loans will
have nothing whatever 10 do with foreign
business. Banks there are little more
than pawnshops, conducted on a small
scale, with meagre capital. They issue a
little circulation, which is not current
throughout the town, but only in certain
sections. For that reason their business
is restricted and affected by interior trou-
bles rather than foreign disturbances.
When the war with Japan was on. there
was no occasion for the precautions an
instruction would apparently necessitate.
China has no banking system, and any
one with little money can run bank
on his own hook. Such laxity, OF course.
takes from the system any such security
as we are accustomed to think OF when
the word bank is mentioned. OF course
these little affairs must not be COMPOUNDED
with such institutions as the Hongkong
and Shanghai Banking Corporation, which
do an enormous foreign business. They
are in no way identified with the pawn
shop concerns"
