IL is singular, but true. that the in
dustrial school system Of the United
States owes It's origin, in large part
to Hawaii General Armstrong, the
founder of Hampton Institute. was
the son of that Hawaiian educator
who organized the schools OF the Ha-
waiian Islands. Hampton this winter
contains eight grandchildren Of former
Indian students. Honolulu, In the
course OF but single generation,
shows a still more notable instance OF
rapid aboriginal development. A former
queen of Hawaii awakened to a sense
of finer civilization, came with
great pomp and retinue to express her
wish for reform. Unwrapping from
her body the seventy-hve yards OF
broadeloth which had composed her
royal robe, she burned 1t in the publ
square. Her niece, Lady Bishop, lat
bequeathed her entire property of ov
q million dollars to the cause OF edu
cation in Hawaii. Today the COM
pulsory school system of those islands
is so admirable that Australia lately
ssnt there for a teacher TO expound In
the southern continent the Hawaiian
American system of education.

1t is pleasant to record the fact that
the consular service is gradually work
ing out OF politics. that more and more
fitness is considered in the original
choice of consuls, that efficient men
are promoted from less important to
more important stations. and that the
effects of the improved system in adj
vancing American trade are so marked
that the new way is approved by all
who study the subject. The cleverness
of some consuls In getting at the facts
whic4. will enable American manufac-
turers and merchants to compete in
foreign markets is much more pleas
ing to Americans than it is to those
whom they are supplanting in trade.

Whom his neighbors view wi

iWhene'er he says he's going in
They know he's coming out.
II he should say 1t looks like rain
They know the sun will shine;
And when he speaks of oaken wood
They know that it is pine.
If he asserts that black is black,
They know quite well it's white,
And when he says the sun is up
They'll swear that it is night.
If he should don a bathing suit
They know, as sure as fate,
That he intends to pass the time
BY going out to skate.
When he declares that he will eat
IT'S certain he will drink.
And every time he tells tale
They hear it with wink.
His name is Annanias Fibbs;
He wears the liars crown
He used to send the cablegrams
That came from Shanghai town.

POLAR EXPLORATIONS.

Interest in polar expeditions Is re-
viyed, by the numerous plans now laid
for exploration Of the unknown rec
glons, both In the northern and south
ern parts Of our planet And the inn
preston is becoming general that the
problem OF reaching especially the
North Pole is no longer unsolyable.

At a banquet held in Hotel Cecil Lon
don, in honor Of the Fourth Of July the
Rev Joseph Parker said that Great
Britain and the United States held the
peace Of the world In their hands, Now
II Is pleasant thing to see nations as
well as brothers dwell In peace together
but this kind Of talk can only he terme
SHY II implies an alliance offensive
and defensive when none exists; it also
implies that the two countries are tie

become an imperial warlike sovereign
such as the kaiser. but 1t certainly does
not become minister Of the gospel, SO

ANOTHER ROAD THROUGH ASIA.

Though the trans-sIberian railroad Is
not yet entirely completed. there IS
some talk Of establishing a competing
line through southern Asia, through
Asia Minor Persia. Baluchistan. India,
Burma and China German capitalists
supported by Emperor william, II Is
said, are interested in extending the al
ready existing lines, through the valley
Of the Euphrates to III Kuwelt. on the
Persian gulf. a distance from the Bos.
phorus Of about 1850 miles
From there the road would have to
pass through Persian territory to Balu-
chistan, and It appears to be question
whether that can be done without the
consent Of Russia, since the Shah has
given the Car exclusive rights to raj
road building through that country,
But II that obstacle can be overcome,
the rest Of the enterprise Is looked up
on as comparatively easy Five humid
red and twenty miles Of road through
Baluchistan would connect the line
with the Indian railroad net which ex-
tends 10 the Chinese frontier Then
there are 1000 miles 10 cover through
the Yang-tze valley to Shanghai
The line Is looked upon as a formlda-
BILE rival to the Siberian railroad. It will
traverse more fertile, prosperous and
more densely populated countries than
the northern line. It will also be a
rival to the Suez canal Every section
Of Il ought To pay well from the Begin
ming, while the Siberian road must de-
pend largely on the future develop
ment Of much Of the territory through
which 1t passes.
The siberian road was planned as
much for military and strategic, as for
commercial purposes, while the south
em road presumably is thought OF en-
tirely for It's commercial possibilities
There should be ample room for two
railroad lines through the vast Asiatic
continent. Both are needed for the De.
yelopment OF the resources there exist
