CHINA'S AWAKENING
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BEING EoyAB-
LISHED IN THE EMPIRE,
Shanghai Mercury Points Out the Great
Need for Better Understanding of
the Conditions of Modern Trads-Im-
provement Started.

The Universal Gazette having re-
printed at length the prospectus and
rules OF the "Pekin Industrial school,"
proceeds to exhort other provinces to
follow so worthy an example. The
founders of the school are indeed low
ers OF their country, says the Shanghai
Mercury. One great cause of China's
decadence Is the distinction hitherto
made between study and trades, the
consequence of which is that those
whose study despise those who prac-
tice the arts, and b. 4 sides suffer
from this divorce of feeling and inter-
est. The artisan is just as conserva-
tive as the scholar, and owing to his
obstinate refusal to adopt new meth
DDS, the foreign article has come in
like an overlooking tide. In fact, II
we had been making as good articles
as the foreigners they would probably
never have invaded China with their
commerce.
Now the basis of commerce is In the
industrial arts. Foreigners often say
we have the raw product, but not the
finished article, and foreigners thor
oughly understand the laws and prin-
ciples of successful commerce. Our
raw articles we sell cheap to foreign
ers. They make them up into finished
goods and sell them to us dear and
even SO we Chinese are glad to buy
these goods and the profits all 60 to
the foreigner.
This state of affairs strikes Chinese
patriots as deplorable. Hence transla-
tions of books on western arts and
manufactures are made, but these are
In wen-li, and hence only scholars can
read them. They are inaccessible to
the only persons who could actually
carry out their methods in practice.
Hence the school of Mr.. Huang In Pc
kin is more excellent than books. For
the poor may learn under instructors
At the present time, when much pow
erty in the north drives the poor to
crime, this school will come to the aid
of government by diminishing the sup
ply of criminals. The floods in the
south have done much to reduce the
south to the same distressed condition
as the north, and hence such industrial

south. AT present we have some fac
tories, started by merchants and off,
Gals. but only very few are emp Dyed
as compared with the masses of the
nation. Now, in Japan, every family
weaves, spins, etc., and gets the profit.
Formerly we had some things to ex-
port which were better than the for
eign articles, such as silk and tea. But
now even these are deteriorated and
the foreign article is ousting our goods
In the markets of the world. Indus
trial schools would remedy this fall
ure. A Japanese book which discusses
the state of the arts in China says
that China needs few patriotic lead
ers to guide her to prosperity. These
are true words, and let us hope that
others will follow in the footsteps of
Mr.. Huang.

People Wear Themselves Out.

Many people wear themselves out
needlessly, says the London Doctor;
their conscience is a tyrant. An ex-
aggerated sense of duty leads many a
person to anxious, ceaseless activity,
to be constantly doing something,
overpunetual, never idle a second of
time, scorn to rest; such are in I'M
conscious nerve tension. They cay
they have so much to do, not thinking
they are rapidly uniting themselves
for probably what would have been
their best and greatest work in after
years. Self-control of nerve force is
the great lesson of health and there
fore Of life itself. To understand how
to relax is to understand how to
strengthen nerves. Hearty laughter is
a source of relaxation. as are also high
thoughts as those of hope, beauty,
trust or lose. Relaxation is found in
diversion.

DR.. White, the American ambassa-

the German empress. He was minis
ter to Germany during the Arthur ad-
ministration, and when he returned as
ambassador after McKinley's election
and was presented to her majesty, he
said: Il don't suppose you will remem-
Der me, but l attended your wedding"
Il do remember you," replied the
kaiserin, "and can tell you what you
said to me on that OCCASION" "Then
you have a better memory than l." re-
marked DR.. White, "for certainly do
not recall anything further than a
most charming occasion. "You told
me-" said the empress, when you
came to congratulate me, that If was
an American bride | would soon be
setting out for Niagara Falls. did
not understand what you meant, but
1T made such an impression upon me
that Immediately looked on the map
and found where Niagara Falls was,
and read everything could find in
books about it. Chicago Record Her

SECTIONS of America Have Been psvss-
tated Of Beast md bird.
Over vast sections of our land game
OF many kinds has been altogether
exterminated or sadly decimated. Yet
1t is surprising to note the tenacity
with which the beasts and birds still
linger about the spots which were
their favorite haunts before the white
man came to disturb them.
When John Smith made his map of
Virginia in 1907 he ornamented it with
deer on the south side of the James
river, about where the counties OF
Surrey and Sussex are now situated,
and with turkey on the peninsula be-
tween the James and the York rivers,
to show where these were most abund-
ant. Three hundred years have passed
since then, and a great many people
have settled there, but deer and turkey
most abound in Virginia still at the
places designated by John Smith as
their favorite haunts in his day.
The Great South Bay and Barnegat
were famous ducking grounds Of old.
One would think that the millions Of
people not collected about them
would have frightened the wild fowl
away. But with half chance they
still assemble there, in spite of the
thousand sail that disturb them and
the never-ending fusillade of the gun
ners When Frank Forester wrote
the Warwick woodlands were the
home of the ruffled grouse and the
woodcock.
To-day, notwithstanding the Or
anges and Montclair and Tuxedo, and
many other thickly populated COM
munities that have sprung up in the
territory, population has not Alto
gether driven away the ancient occu-
pants, and few still linger, reluctant
to abandon their charming natural
habitat.-Review of Reviews.

Gas Pipes Wear overcoats.

Many New Workers have stopped tc
wonder at the long boxes packed with
straw which may be seen in the Rap
Id Transit excavations. They are over
coats of straw for all the pipes laid
bare by the tunnel workers in cold
weather. AS fast as they are uncov-
cred by one set Of workmen another
comes along and wraps the pipes in a
covering of straw, which is a poor
conductor of either heat or cold. This
precaution is as necessary with gas as
with water conduits. Where the wa.
ter will freeze in cold weather, except
in mains where it is running constant
ly, the danger of interruption to the
gas mains is equally great where the
mains are open and subject to wide
changes in temperature. These changes
cause condensation within the pipes,
as many householders know when told
that they have been troubled with
water In the meter."-New York

Drink Wine When Eating Oysters.

This is the advice which many Aus
trian physicians are now giving, and
for the following reason: DR.. oku-
niewsh and hb assistants were recent
ly experimenting at the naval hospital
in Pola and suddenly discovered that
wine poured on oysters speedily des-
troyed any germs of typhus with
which 1t came in contact. Twenty
DAYS is the usual duration of life in
such germs, and during all that time
they are contagious. According to DR..
okuniewski, however, no oysters can
harm person who drinks little wine
while eating them, since the wine very
quickly destroys any typhus germs
