CHINA SEEKING LIGHT.

The pathetic announcement is made that the
Chinese Emperor has addressed to members of
the Regency Board long letter giving instruc-
tions for the institution of reforms i'll govern
ment and urging the necessity Of following the
example OF Japan and of Western nations in
the progress of civilization. Beyond doubt there
is urgent desirability and need of the adoption
of such 4 course by the Chinese Government,
though unhappily there is little ground for con-
fidence or even hope that it will be adopted.
1t is pathetic spectacle that of well mean
ing and progressive sovereign striving for the
welfare of his people, but hampered and baked
and overruled by circumstances beyond his
control
Nor is that ALL nor the most deplorable feat
ure of the case. Half dozen years ago Japan
earnestly endeavored to effect precisely such
reforms in China. She went so far as to make
a treaty with China guaranteeing the execution
of them. And of all powers i'm the world she
was the best fitted TO introduce and to perfect
them. Had she been permitted 10 go on, China
would have been reorganiZed and reformed. and
her doors would have been freely opened to all
the world But Japan was not permitted to
go on. Russia interfered, and, backed up by
France and Germany, compelled the breaking
of that treaty, compelled Japan TO withdraw
from her benefcent mission and compelled the
corruption. intolerance and benightedness. 1t
was an evil deed. the penalty for which was
last year paid in blood.
Again. less than two years ago the Chinese
Emperor issued such n decree as that which is
now put forth, only perhaps more sweeping and
advanced. But 1t quickly negatived by
the Empress Dowager. Whether or not ii be
true, as some have confidently said, that she
acted on Russia's instigatiOn or at least encour-
agement, 1t is certain that she compelled the
cancelling OF the Emperors most sautary order.
and as penalty for his temerity in daring to
institute reforms displeasing to her compelled
him 10 sign a quasi act of ahdcatOn. Such
peris and difficulties beset the road to reform
and to enlightenment in tulna. We shall see
with what fate this latest essay meets There
is no reason 10 suppose the Empress Dowager
is any more friendly to reform than hitherto
or that Russia is, either. The one wants to
keep her sway unbrOken. and she knows that
ignorance and corruption are it's chief bulwarks
And Russia aims at taking for her own a large
share of China, and does not want IL opened
up and enlightened TO put her to the
trouble OF closing It's doors again and putting
out the light. But 1t may be that these two
powers are not nearly so Omnipotent in China
now as they once We're

Good Advice to Girls Who
Travel.

The young gill who is travelling by
herself should seek information from
the train people rather than from he,
companions on the train. No girl in
travelling should make con6dants OF
strangers of either sex, disclose her
name, her destination or her family
affairs, or make acquaintance on the
road. She may, however, show kind
attention to mother travelling with
little children, amuse wearied little
one, and politely thank any one who
does her an unobtrusive Kindness

These rules they adhere to most strictly
observing them with the enthusiasm of the
fanatic. The Sikhs composing the 9th
Punjab Infantry and the LIST Sikh Reg't,
now in China, are considered superior SOL
diers, and no one doubts their loyalty to
the Queen.
The Rajputs are Hindus, are not such
good fighters as the Sikhs, and are their
inferior in appearance. There is only one
regiment of these in China, the 18th Raj
puts, and the British officers praise their
conduct and their work. They are re-
cruited from Rajputana and the North
west provinces of India.
The Gourkha will average FIVE feet in
hight He has a yellow complexion, is
sturdy and muscular. He has the build
and general appearance of the japanese.
| have seen the regiment, now at Shanghai,
at drill and in camp, and they are certainly
well-disciplined soldiers. There are many
Gourkha regiments in the Indian army.
They come from Nepaul, in the north of
India. DR.. Gedney, of the Indian Medi-
cal Service, tells me that n peculiar point
about them is their susceptibility to for
! eign diseases more than the other natives
of India.
The Gourkha is said to be utterly de-
void of fear and as loyal to the Queen
as if he had been born in England. They
are said to be second to no race as hill
fighters, not excepting the clever Boer.
The English Government has implicit con-
fidence in them, and is proud of their rec
ord as soldiers. In the last frontier war
they made lasting fame by their gallant
attack on Dargai. When war breaks out
in India the Gourkha regiments are al
ways selected by the British officers for
difficult fighting.
Their deadly weapon for close fighting
is curved knife, called "cOokreif," and
they have on more than one occasion an
