GERMAN BOY IS AHEAD.
Three Years in Advance OF the Kan
kee Boy In school, 1t II
Claimed. aH.

II know it would be wrong to explain
our being three years ahead OF New
England boy merely from the scholarly
preparation of our teachers says
Prof. Hugo Muensterberg in Atlantic
"A second factor, which is hardly less
important, stands clear before my
mind too; the help which the school
found in our homes. l do not mean
that we were helped in our work, but
the teachers were silently helped by
the spirit which prevailed in our homes
with regard to the school work. The
school had the right of way; our par.
ents reinforced our belief in the work
and our respect for the teachers;
reprimand in the school was shadow
on our home life; word of praise in
the school was a ray of sunshine for
the household. The excellent school
books, the wise plan for the upbuilding
of the ten years course, the hygienlc
care, the external stimulations> have
all, of course, helped toward the re-
suits; and yet am convinced that their
effect was entirely secondary compared
with those two features, the scholarly
enthusiasm of our teachers and the re-
spect for the school on the part of our
DarentS"

MISTAKE OF AsMARTLAWYER

rSzs ward Got Even.

This is.so true that it is interesting
yery much so. A well-known Maine at
torney is especially noted for his Keen
ness in looking out for.the best end Of
every bargain and for his ability in
getting hold of that end. 1t has made
him unpopular in some circles-has-
that trait of his, says the Lewiston
Journal.
One deal not long ago he was in with
ascouple of friends-men of wealth and
standing. Business was good the first
year. There was generous division
Of profits. But tn lawyer wasn't sat
isfed with what was coming to him,
share and share alike with the others.
After receiving his proper whack as a.
partner he exacted $500 more for,
Counsel fees" He said that as law
yer he was worth that much more to
the deal. This was new way OF look
ing at the matter, but the bill was
resignedly allowed by the friends.
They were pretty good business men,
understand. In little while they saw
that the venture wasn't banning out

The lawyer hurried around to hold

two.

moaned he. II lost so-and-so. How
much did you fellows drop? You must

''You're wrong, old boy" came the
cheerful duet. "'We never lost dol

London, BY Cable.-There is moth

add to the ray of hope regarding the
fate of the legations at Pekin shed by
Saturdays dispatches from Washing
ton, and messages from other sources
indicating that the legations were still
standing on July 5 and that recent at
tacks by the Boxers had been slight.
News from other points was dis
tinctly disquieting.
A report from Chefoo dated July I
says that a Catholic bishop, two
priests and two nuns were murdered
A report from Moukden, dated July
5, says that a Danish mission at Hiny

According to the report it would be

party of CosSacks, residents Of Mouk-

the Danish mission. The situation at
Tien Tsin on July is said to have
been most serious. Japanese and Rus

The condition of affairs in China

hague and conflicting. One day the
accounts are :ha- hi foreigners have
been massacred. The next day the
account is denied. The latest develop
ments are given IN the following DIS
patches, which give more hopeful
view o. the si;Tation:
London, By C&ble.-A cable dispatch
dated Thursday, July 5, . p. m. re-
ceived at the London office of the in
spectorate Of Chinese maritime GUS
toms from Shanghai, says:
Courier left PeKin July 3, when two
legations were holding out against
troops and Boxers. Troops had lost
1000 men ami Boxers many leaders"
1t is further asserted that the for
eigners at Pekin ought to be able to
hold out for long time. as they have
sufficient food and ammunition.
Jardine, Matheson and Co., of
Shanghai have telegraphed TO their
London house as follows:
Shanghai, July THE British le-
CATION was standing July 2. There are
reassurin. iIports regarding the lives
of the Europeans"
The foreiA office has issued the
text of telegram from Acting Consul
General Warren, at Shanghai, con-
firming from absolutely trustworthy
source the news received by courier
from Pekin July 8, by way of Shan
ghai to the London office of the in.
spectorate Of Chinese maritime Gus
toms, saying that two legations were.
the day the courier left, holding out
against troops and Boxers and that the
troops had lost 1000 men and the Box
ers many leaders.
Mr.. Warren adds that the messenger
says the troops were much disheart-
ened by their losses and that the uox-
ers claim their mystic powers have
been broken by the foreigners and
that they dare not approach the lega-
tions.
Paris, BY Cable.-The French con-
sui at Canton telegraphs tha. accord
ing to the information that he has re-
ceived through Ii Hung Chang of a
general massacre of the Europeans

July 6, but it was denied by / tele-

graphed the viceroy at Canton to cou-
