Chinese Sunday School.

An interesting feature of the mission
work at the Pro- Cathedral is the Chinese
Sunday School, which meets Sunday af-
ternoons half hour before the regular
Sunday school A good attendance is
maintained. and the school. which was
first started as an experiment, is now
an assured fact. A peculiar phase of
the school is that each scholar has TO
have an individual teacher. for owing TO
family distinction among the Chinese
they viii not associate with any not of
their own family. The service is partly
read in Chinese and English. Some out
of the classes have been baptized, and
even one or two confirmed.

A curious thing happened on one OF
the Electric cars, on the Winthrop line,
the other day. \ trunk stood on the
platform of the car and one of the
iron bands on the trunk rested on a
bolt head in the platform. There is in
the mechanism of a car what is called
by the car men a kicking coil, which is
located under the car, and the coil
under that particular car kicked up
considerable trouble. Somehow it got
out of order and transmitted the cur
rent to the bolt in the platform, and
then to the band on the trunk, and it
took but a few seconds to generate a
degree of heat in that trunk which
threatened speedy obstruction to It's
contents. First there was smell like
ironing day. followed by a few splrals
of smoke from around the lid of the
trunk, and the way that receptacle was
yanked off the car and relieved OF Its
contents was a marvel. The damage
was slight, but only quick action saved
the contents from destruction.
