Chimes Proverbs About Women.


There IS much of philosophy in the sub
joined sayings found in Chinese literature
and having relation to women:
Respect always a silent woman. great IS
the wisdom of the woman that holdeth her
tongue
A vain woman IS to be feared. for she
will sacrifice all for her pride
Trust not a vain woman, for she IS first
in her own eye
A naughty woman stumbIes for she can
not see what may be in her way
Trust not the woman that thinketh more
Of herself than another; mercy Will not
dwell in her heart.
The gods honor her who thinketh long
before opening her lips Pearls come
from her mouth
A woman that IS not loved is a kite
from which the string has been taken: she
drives with every wind and cOmeth to
naught by a long fall
woman and a child are alike: each
needs a strong uplifting hand.
4 woman that respects herself is more
beautiful than single star, more beau
tfful than many stars at night

Just at this hour the chief peril that
confronts us is, perhaps, the disposition
the hunger for trade for land, for Of

en-to plunge our nation into wars.
AS a world power we must show our
teeth and clenched fists, and get a
sphere o. influence" Lord Bacon in
his essay on '1'he True Greatness of
Kingdoms and Estates" insists that 1T
is NEST important ''for empire and
greatness-that a nation do profess
arms as their principal honor, study
and occupations" that a state should
have those laws and customs which
may reach forth to them just occasions,
as may be pretended of war; and that
nations should be on the alert to seize
opportunities to quarrel with other ma
tiuns! That is claimed to be one way
of promoting Christian civilization.
But the greatest dangers, ever pres
ent to American liberty, Is in the ignor-
ance of the voter. BY virtue of the
great foundation principle, which cam
not be changed, that, before the law
every man is equal to every other man,
the interests of a nation, vast already,
and perhaps destined to be mightier
than any other are entrusted to his
hands. Questions new, perplexing, mo-
mentous, are continually rising and
pressing for solution. At every cleo
ton, if at no other time, we are re-
minded that the government is of
the people and for the people, but also
by the people You are a voter, al ruler,
children, your country; to a thousand
millions of the living, to all coming gem
erations and to Almighty God, you are
answerable, if, through your Incidence,

want OF money. The tax of 10 cents
ought to be increased to 20 or % !;
and right upon this at least 5000, 600
IN cash from the treasury ought to
be appropriated. Of this latter
amount 800, 900 ought to be ex-
pended under the direction of the
State Board of Examiners or the
State Board of Education where it
Will do the most good. The balance
ought to be added pro rata to the
school funds of the several counties.
This is the citadel of situation.
Ii we can get sufficient funds, the
schools will be maintained and the
children reached.
Ii. We must strengthen the sys-
tenn. More power is needed at two
points, namely, first, at the head-in
the State superintendent office
secondly, in the County Superin-
tendents' Offices. You cannot run
anything without a head. Men who
speak and act with authority are
needed. We must pay our County
superintendent more and we must
get first-rate men, and they must
have authority. They must have
power to get rid of ordinary teach
ers and to get ADLER ones. Supern-
tendents and teachers must go out
into the highways and hedges and
compel the children to come. They
can do the best work they can save
the day and all will be lost if they
are not efficient.
III. For this very reason we must
divorce the system as far as possible
from politics. County boards or
township committees or State boards
or General Assemblies must be dill
gently watched by the people and
whenever they are about to sacrifice
the schools to party interest, protest
must be promptly made. The one
thing to do is to bend everything to-
ward making the very best possible
system as soon as we IAN.
In conclusion, preachers and teach
ers and editors and farmers and ply
sicians and lawyers and all good men
and all good women ought to preach
the necessity of better schools and
the obligation of parents to educate
their children, wherever they go
continually. And they ought to be-
gin now.-Biblical Recorder.
