Aima-T adema.

The progress Alma-Tadema has
made in the past twenty-five years is
only understood by those who have
followed his work. His earlier COM

safe to say that no artist either in
England or on the continent, has more
admirers than Alma-Tadema, or is bet

honors and medals and his works are
in nearly all the important collections.
He lives in house in st. Johns

most sumptuous there, or elsewhere
for that matter, and which is filled
with almost priceless works of art and

CHINESE MISSION SCHOOLS.
Ages of Pupils Vary WideIy-Father
and Son.

In one of the missionary schools in
China, called the Queens college, the
ages of the male students range from
8 to 80 years, says the New York
Press. Often father and son attended
the school together, and sometimes
run a spirited race for first place in a
class. Sometimes family rivalry is
productive of dire results. Mr.. May,
the second master, had been short
time at the school, when one day he
noticed that boy was absent, and he
made inquiries as to the reason. The
following dialogue in Chinese took
place:
Officious Boy-'Please, sir, Li-ho-
wack isn't WE'LL
Master-"What is the matter with
him?"
Officious Boy-"His father thrashed
him last night, and he is too bad to
come to school today"
Master-"He must have committed
a grave fault to merit so severe a
thrashing. What did he do?"
Officious Boy-"Please, sir, he
laughed when you caned his father
yesterday"
