The de- lay in the case of this government ls caused by the absence of any Amerf- can bank in China. Unless American fnanciers can become interested Tn this subject to the extent of opening a bank in the orient. tte United States will probably be obliged to name a British fiscal agent. \ threat to trade is said to be involved in saeh Il selection. in view of the fact that at least three other of the natlohS' party to the protocol, are likely 10 make the same choice. thereby plac- ing an enormous andsunusuai power of regulating the rates of exchange Tn tbe hands of one foreign concern.

the tact and care she has exercised make her invaluable. She manages to make herself useful and agreeable to young and old. It is the number less thoughtful things she has done which a careless woman might have neglected to do, which has been the greatest value of her work, as well as her skilled knowledge.
 When one sees hurried crowd of schoolgirls possessed of the radiant charm of youth, but full of careless ness, and slangy and coarse in their language, as the youth of the begin ming of the twentieth century often are, one becomes thoughtful. No one wishes a young person to be anything but happy, but there is a certain joy ousness which is possessed of a sweet seriousness of manner A well-bred, refined woman. trained for any work, succeeds far better to-day than a coarse, loud woman in any position in life. The time has gone by when ex- uberant youth will be accepted as an excuse for bad manners.
