Sacred Chinese Coin.

One of the coins of the Chinese En-
peror Khanghi is very much sought
after by the Chinese who use it in max
ing rings for the finger. 1t is slightly
different from the other cash issued
under the same emperor in the form of
one of the characters that indicate
the regnal period. The Chinese call it
"Lo-han-cash," the word Lohan being
a transcript in Chinese characters of
the Sanscrit word Arnan, venerable, /"
the name applied to the is attendants
of the Buddha, who are frequently
seen ranged along the two sides of the
principal halls in Buddhist temples.
The tradition is that while the emper-
OF was intimately associated with Eu-
ropean missionaries he became imbued
with a feeling of contempt for
Buddhism, and illustrated this phase
of his faith by having set of IS brass
Lo-han images melted down and cast
into cash. This brass is said to con.
tain a considerable portion of gold;
hence the demand for the cash.

ENGLISH FACTORY WOMEN.
Conditions and Needs Than
American Women.

No person of any observation can
turn the pages of English magazines
dedicated to the cause of working
women without being struck by the
fact that English workers in fac
tories and shops are much more alive
to their needs, and desirous of help
ing themselves, than American women
in the same place. Monster petitions
presented to the legislative bodies are
expected and listened to in England,
while here such an action would give
distinct shock to legislative bodies.
and would be considered quite out of
the question by the workers. The
chances are that English women will
have their wants attended to long be-
fore the free American begins to agi-
tate reforms, says the Baltimore
American.
The Englishwomen's Review tells
how on March IS a petition signed by
29,359 women textile workers of Lam
cashire was handed to members of
parliament for the shire. The petition
had been growing since the summer of
1900; canvassers called at workers
homes after hours and talked with the
women; some mill owners allowed
petition sheets in their shops, others
invited canvassers to stand on tables
so that women could sign as they came
and went. In IL months petitions from
Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cheshire
we're presented to the house of COM
mons, petitions bearing $4,000 names.
In February last deputation of
is women. representing different
shires and different employments,
went up to London and to the house,
bearing these great lists of names.
They were listened to with respect
as they set forth the almost hope
less struggles of the textile workers.
Later part of the deputation spoke
before a great audience of factory
workers at Chelsea. The six women
chosen to address this anxious and
eager crowd had all been workers
in mills, and well knew how to
touch their hearers, who, on their
part, were alive to the necessities of
the hour. One of the speakers, a
MISS hluulSn, tOlu now III tne textile
trade in Lancashire, Yorkshire and
Cheshire there are 1000 women
and 100000 men and she said; "We
want shorter hours, more leisure,
more opportunities for recreation,
more rational means of living" and
the other speakers urged the same
needs. Franchise to these factory
workers means an equal chance with
men, a recognized claim to a hear
ing and the opportunity to vote for
and advocate just laws for workers.
1t is, as one of the speakers said,
"bread and butter politics with the
working women"
The outcome of this struggle for
rights will be watched with interest.
Here oppressed workers either have
not the courage to speak for them
selves or are not as desperate as
the English women, and look to such
women as Mrs. Frederick Nathan or
Miss Jane Adams to secure their
rights for them.

LIKE CHAUTAUQUA.
THE CATHOLIC SUMNER SCHOOL ON
LAKE CHAMPLAlN.

Thousands Annually Seek Hcnlt:
ana Knowledge mt CIiR Haven.
Outdoor Recreation Et the Settle
ment-CampinE by the Lake.
From all over the country Catholics
are vending their way toward the
Catholic Summer School of America.
which has just begun its eleventh. an
nual session at Cliff Haven, on the
New York shore Of Lake Champlain.
Thousands gather Mt this summer set
tlement each year for education, recre-
alton, health and the joys Of outdoor
life. During the months of July and
August upward of G000 persons are
residents of the colony.
The institution is organized on lines
similar to and with much the same mo-
tives as the Methodist school at Chau-
tauqua. The grounds of the Catholic
Summer school comprise a tract of
land of 450 acres on the shores of Lake
Champlain. They have been laid out
and improved at a cost of 100000.
Water has been brought in from the
mountains and a thorough sewerage
system laid. But the school has been
conducted on such businesslike basis
that it has become self sustaining, with
a small margin over.
The land was a gift to the assocla-
tlon from the Delaware and Hudson
company and was first opened for the
work of the school in the summer of
1896. Prior to that time the sessions
of the school had been held at New
London, Conn, and Plattsburg, N. Y.
Although the first object of the found
ers of the Catholic Chautauqua (for by
this name II is often called is to offer
certain educational advantages which
cannot be obtained at ordinary schools
or by prescribed courses of reading,
nevertheless great care has been taken
to offer exceptional opportunities for
outdoor recreation and social enjoy
ment. Indeed, If one desires, he need
not attend n single lecture, but devote
himself entirely to outdoor sports.
Nor are religious or denominational
lines drawn closely. Attendance at
chapel is not compulsory. Those who
may have q different belief from that
of the Roman Catholic church are at
liberty to attend church in the neigh
boring town of Plattsburg, which is a
few miles north. Playing golf or lawn
tennis or some other such sport on
Sunday afternoon is permitted. and, in

Giant Trees Near London.

There are still to be found, even
within the sound of Bow Bells, some
trees remarkable enough both for
height and girth to deserve a visit.
Churchyards are good places to look

ing, tree, but it is hard TO Apply
any other designation to the vener-
able plant whose foliage mantles Old

time during the day when he seemed
TO have any courage. Thus he was un,
able TO refuse any request during the
day, but he often refused them during
the evening, and for this reason those
who wanted him TO grant them favors
tried, il possible, TO obtain interviews
with him during the day. This con.
stitutional timidity gave rise to a
rumor that he was lacking in ply sical
courage, but that Is not true. as on
various instances he gave striking
proofs of his Willingness to face perils.
