Benefit FROM READING.
. Two Essentials Worth Remember.
ing Are Suggested.

Reading and the way 70 benert from II
formed subjects Of an address delivered
lately by James Bryce. says tho New York
Herald. Two things. said he. are essen
t.7l. ono Is "a certain measure az natural
faculty" Some people possess this faculty
Hrc-cInineLtiy They can read a book rap
idly and. while doing 50, make II their
own. You will find said Mr.. Bryce.
that people Of great mental power are al
most always capable II rapidly reading and
dlses,.nS The contents OF a book" Macau-
Law furnishes a typical instance.
The second Of the two things &. concen-
%r:atIon. or the power of fixing the atten-
ton steadily upon what il being heard or
read iidSty reading ana rapid reading
are quite different things. An excellent
method of distinguishing the two. Mr.
Bryce says. j. ~ wait for In" reaction"
IIasty reading leaves the mind blank. Tho
right sort Of reaiiuE-whetfer rapid or
slow-results in definite thoughts and Ideas
The mind il set at work This constitutes
the reaction.
Mr.. Bryce does not recommend rapid
reading for its own sake. lie merely points
out tho incidental advantages Of capacity
fnr II.
The man with limited time for reading
should take up a special subject. Mr.. Bryce
IS emYnJ'ic on this point. IL IL better for
the great majority of people to let their
reading run upon certain lines. those being
the lines IN which they feel the most in
terested." The eminent scholar concluded
with 4 wor! picture Of the dreary old age
Of the man who had never acquired a taste
for reading.

B. A Lyon-Chetworthy. of Shang-
MEANS hai. at the Hotel Imperial yester-

FOREIGN ceived imperial edct TO open

Is OF the greatest Importance.
The site for this port is to be within three
miles of Wu-Chang. and IL is to be called Seef. 1t
will assured1y become city OF great Importance
for its establishment that one of the richest
most fertile and most populous sections of China
will be thrown open to foreign trade. The people
in this territory have always violently adverse
TO the foreign devils and many of the hardy ad-
venturers who have sought wealth in their country
have to an awful death from torture at their
fanatical hands From what Is known OF the
country thereabouts it is agriculturally and min
orally very rich. but in the latter respect wholly
nndeveioped. as the Chinese have not gone in for
mining there themselves and heretofore have de-
terminedly opposed any one else doing so. Backed
VIM have a better chance. and the imperial edict
that has Just been promulgated IS sure to be fol-
lowed by the investment of capital in ana develop

about it have practically failed Surveys have,
believe, been made OF the country. but all work

If the establishment of the port of Seef carries only

of the wedge and make ii probable that even il
mining rights have not already been granted they
will be. Outside of the valuable trading rights
which it carries, the opening of the port IS Of
the hrst Importance. as 1t will do as much TO
insure the continuance of peace in China any
thing that could have been done The Euro
peans will thus be brought into direct contact with
the most pronounced anti-foreign element In China
and their influence will have good effect upon the
Chinese. In case of future disturbances a foreign
city in this country will be of infinite Value from.
a strategic point of view, for IL would then become
a most valuable base of operations.

THE WASHINGTON TRAGEDY.
MACDONALD NOT EXPECTED TO RECOVER
AUDITOR MORRIS TO BE BURIED
A
IN CLEVELAND.

turn for the worse and he began to sink. He has
constantly reiterated the hope that he would die
declaring he did not care to live.
All day long there was continuous stream of
visitors to see the wounded man. but the latter
was particularly anxious that of his friends
should talk to the newspaper about what he
told them and he even took the precaution 10 tear
up their visiting cards so that their identity might
not be learned Macdonald has large number
of friends in this city, and the opinion was ex-
pressed generally that his mind was in an un-
settled state at the time of the shooting.
An autopsy was performed the body of Mr..
Morris to-day, and developed the fact that three
of the five bullets fired had struck him. The body
VIII be taken from here tomorrow evening to
Cleveland. where the burial will take place in
Lake View Cemetery. The family of the dead man
were the recipients OF many kilograms and letters
OF coincidence to-day and among the touching Incl
gents was a visit OF twelve children of Mr.. Morrs's
Sunday school class from Faith Chapel.
D a GrosVenor, Deputy Auditor for the War
department and the next in line of rank to the
STrosvenor received his discharge papers half an
hour after the killing Of Mr.. Morris. They were
the discharge taking effect at once Captain Co.

shooting on Saturday, with Instructions to reporf

ment and the predecessor of Mr.. Morris who has
