CHINESE CARVINGS.
TEACHERS COLLEGE. WHICH De
PICTS ORIENTAL LIFE.

The valuable collection of Chinese wood carvings
given by William Barclay Parsons to the education
al museum in Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity has recently been arranged for permanent eX~
hibition by the curator, Professor George Sawyer
kellogg.
There are nearly a hundred of the remarkable
little works of art and Dr. Giles. professor Of
Chinese at Oxford University England. who has
just completed a course of lectures on China at
Columbia. visited the museum purposely to see
them.
THE exhibit is marvelIously complete he said
to Professor Kellogg, and contains some pieces
that I have not in my collection. The student can
get a very fair idea of Chinese life from these
carvings. as they represent with the utmost fdel-
ity every phase of it. One sees every day in
Chinese towns such scenes the artist has carved
in miniature"
DR.. Giles noticed especially, as one not in his
possession. the group consisting of fisherman and
his flock of trained cormorants. In parts of China
cormOrants trained to their skill in catch
ing fish for the benefit of human beings. and the
carving represents with a fish in his beak
Behind the little flock of three four birds walks
the fisherman. with basket swung from pole on
his shoulder.
Every department of industry is pictured in the
little carvings. not one Of which is more than
four inches high with such animation that one
would hardly be surprised to see the tiny hGures
walk off their wooden platforms.
There are two school scenes, in which the solemn
visaged teacher sits the floor, at a small, low
table while his two little pupils laborlously make
numerals and alphabet with infnitesimal brushes.
These brushes are used by Chinese children in
place of the pencils of Western schools.
A tea carrier has pole over his shoulder with
wee boxes swinging from each end that look eX-
actly like the large piled up in grocery shops
A ''truckman" has a wheelbarrOw laden high with
! bales and boxes. and another group shows poor
fellow almost exhausted by his labors in wheeling
| cart piled with packages, on one side of which
| is the owner and the other side his wife. They
sit there with every appearance of ease, while the
| 'coachman" trundles them on with evident eX-
| ertion.

SOME WAYS OF THE WORLD
THE YOUNG-OLD WOMAN AND THE M

However do you suppose they manage to keep

indicating by a glance a party OF four imposing
looking mondaines dressed in the height OF fash

known restaurant and talking together with the
Vivacity and loud laughter Of untamed schoolgirls

women were my contemporaries? And yet they
are all as old as I am"
The contrast was undenably striking, only MIS-

CHARACTER ALWAYS TELLS.

Several young married women were discussing
recently the best way bringing their boys and
il was amusing the air OF entire conviction
with which they delivered their opinions each being
perfectly sure that hers was the only method
worth considering II was noticeable that the more
youthful the natron the more positive was her self
confidence. and as the Oldest young hopeful under

six or eight il Will some time before the result
of the divers plans will become apparent
Each Of these young mothers feels sure that her
son will demonstrate the truth OF her individual
theories and they often diametrically differ
ent from each other their relative excellence can
only be determined by the result That every con-
scientious parent honestly desires 10 do what will
any personal sacrlhce goes without saying, the
question being what Is really the best. A boy
should be 10 boarding school as soon as posi-

be shielded in every way" declares a third. "On
The contrary. believe in letting boy choose for

right and then give him complete Independence

A very rich self made man. who wisely recognizes
