IT, Becoming holder, Yin-Ling included
the Emperor in her maneuvres; he became
in course of time deeply enamored of her.
ard FIVE years after her entry into the i'm
perial palace, the ex-siave girl presented
her husband with an heir to the throne or
China, for TZe-An was childless.
This was Winnings great opportunity.
Was the mother OF the future Emperor to
remain a secondary wife? Surely such
state Of affairs would be against all prece-
dent Hsien-Fung admitted as much, but
was at loss to find remedy Then Yin
Ling cautiously reminded her lord that
some hundreds of years ago the reignine
house had been confronted with a similar
dilemma Cher learning stood her in good
steady. and had created a second En-
press with the title Empress of the West"
Would il not be well to follow the example
set by the illustrious dead? Hsien- Fune
turned the counsel over in his mind and
found it good. He laid it before the ia
nous Prince Kung. his brother. Prince
Kung found it excellent, and fin-Ling
was made Empress OF the West. and hence
forth was known to the people of China
as Tsze- hi Tcanyu Kangi- Chaoyu, and so
on and so on: in short. as TZe-hsi, the
mother of the Grown Prince.
Had Tsze-hsi been an ordinary woman,
this striking triumph would assuredly
have turned her head and led her to make
enemies in the imperial household. She
was. however. no ordinary woman. and
knew full well that her position, strong
as it was was by no means unassailabe.
Acting. therefore with great eircumspee-
ton. she paid, as before. fattering atten-
ton to Tze-An. and treated the lesser
wives with unusual consideration. never
presuming on her exalted position. She
conquered all along the line; the lesser
wives soon forgaye her her success. and
willingly treated her with the Difference
due to her position: and Tze-An. though
doubtless jealous of her at first. soon dis
covered that the wisest course was to 20

Among all the proposals for a fitting

ing comes from Cincinnati. In that city
lives Albert Frazer, who is of the opin-
ion that in no way can the beginning
of q new century be so fittingly cele
brated as by a great national re-
ligious jubilee. In this opinion he has
the Endorsement of leading clergymen,
representing influential Protestant de-
nominations. They all agree that the
commencement of a new era of Chris
tian civilization may best be marked
by adopting Frazer's suggestion.

Prof. John Graham Brooks de-
clared in lecture delivered the other
day that the heresies of to-day are
economical rather than theological.
And the professor confessed that the
present established order of things in
society involved an immense amount
of waste. He instanced this in educa-
ton, which was too much a matter of
book training. Schools where manual
training went on side by side with the
more academic methods of education
revealed much less waste of individual
force than those devoted exclusively
to mind development.

It is agreed that the biggest salary
ever paid was that of George Gould,
who received from his father $5,OOO,-
600 for ten years work. Great salaries
are usually paid to men for what we
call brain work. But let us get down
to the broad foundation of the laborer.
The man who receives the biggest
wages is A. J. Day, of Pittsburgh. He
rolls steel and iron. They have had
