windows; they ever piled up against
the partitions like trapped and saw
age animals. Shrieking women and
children ran from side to side of the
cabin. Ar immense negro, iammed
half in, half out. a shattered window,
contributed the element of grotesque-
ness. as he g~esticulated frantically,
filing the air with alternate prayers
and curses.
With death at hand, Norwood
ceased to desire it. ~Springing toward
an exit, he remembered the two wo-
men and returned. The girl, who was
trying to raise the elderly woman to
her feet, looked at him appealingly.
MY mothers heart is weak" she said
hurriedly. 'The shock has brought
on an attack can't move her"
"Just a moment" cried Norwood.
Don't stir from here, and I'll see
what can be DONE"
When he gained the slippery deck
he found order coming out of chaos,
through the nerve of the officers and
the calmness of some of the passen-
gers. Boats were lowered, but only
to pick up a few progressive spirits
who in the first panic had seized life
~preservers and thrown themselves in
to the water. Lines had been cast
from one steamer to another, lash
ing them together; and men, working
like madmen-or heroes-were quick
ly passing the women and children to
safety over the rail.
Norwood ran back. AS the girl
turned her white face mutely toward
him he felt Il glow of admiration for
her se~lf-control.
"All right" he said, encouragingly.
There's no danger. Are you strong
enough to help me lift herr"
She nodded, and together they
raised the almost unconscious woman.
She was no light weight, and Norwood
was still weak, but they succeeded in
half-leading, half-carrying her on
deck. The doomed steamer was rapid
ly settling, and the water was running
into the cabin when they left it. Nor
wood shouted to the deckhands who
were beginning to cast off the lines,
and a dozen brawny arms lifted the
women to the opposite deck.
The men followed, and almost inn
mediately the boat they had left
plunged, bow first, and, with a rush
through the blackness, disappeared.
AS the girl had been drawn over
the rail after her mother, there was
a cry of "Why Dorothy. Dorothy
Moore!" Instantly the two were the
center of an excited and solicitous
group, and Norwood went below.
He was among the first to land
when the boat entered the slip, but
he fingered on the outskirts of the
throng until the face he looked foT
appeared. Although occupied with
her mother, the girls eyes more than
once roved eagerly over the crowd
and, with a quickened beating of his
heart, Norwood felt instinctively that
she searched for him. The idea
cheered him-he felt less friendless;
yet he kept out of sight until they en-
tered a carriage and were driven
away.

THE STUDY OF CHINESE. I
Advocated by United States Consuls1
Agent in the 1nteeests OF
'..' American Trade.

Mr.. Charles Neuer, United States
consular agent at Gera, in an official
communication to the state depart
ment advocates the study of the Chi
nese language as a means of extending
American trade in the Chinese empire,
says the Washington Star. "While
China Is considered the land of prom
lae for our farmers and manufacture
ers," says he, "the importance of the
knowledge of the Chinese language is
greatly undervalued. Isubmit the de-
tails of a recent interview with lin
gust who has given special attention
to this subject. It is we'll understood
that in order to enter into perman-
ent commercial relations with a for
eign country it is indispensable to
know its language. When Russian in
dustries began to develop the Germans
recognized that in order to engage in
profitable trade in that country it was
necessary to learn Russian, and there
is now no country where the Russian
language is 80 much taught as in Ger
many.
1.-The Chinese language is Telegraph
&c. 1t conveys the idea and not the
word for the thing, as the figure - rep
resents the idea and not the word. The
Chinese have invented more than 49,
GOO marks for their writing. In the
opinion Of my informant it will require
only about 5000 marks for mercantile
correspondence, and it will be easier
to learn them than the words of an
ordinary foreign language.
Russian is more difficult for Amer
leans than Chinese It takes much
longer to learn the spoken language,
because of the variety of dialects; but
any one who can learn enough of the
writings to answer ordinary purposes
in few months and have his knowl
edge perfected by linguist within
about a year. An exact instruction in
one OF the Chinese languages can only
be given by Chinaman.
This method has been adopted in
Germany. Besides the professor for
the theory of language, there are four
Chinese linguists in the Oriental sem
mary Of Berlin teaching the business
style and the language of Peking,
Shanghai and Canton. It is not intend
ed to fit pupils for the diplomatic serv-
ies, but for commercial work"
