Life of fhe German Maid.

The education of a German girl begins at six years. It is compulsory, and the rule for attendance is strictly enforced. A mother cannot keep delicate or aii- ing child at home without doctors cer- tincate. Work is carried on at the fullest stretch and the strain on mind and body is such that many a German girl leaves school with her nerves shaken and her health injured for life. Little time is al- lowed for gymnastic or outdoor games though some change in this respect IS now being made, and at sixteen years the girl leaves school after passing num- berless examinations. her studies having included languages. history science mathematics. dancing and singing thorough course in cookery and needle work It Is these last two most in use in after life. The rest lead to nothing, and in the majority of cases the girl might just as well have been spared the strain of acquiring so much superhuous educa- ton.
 Marriage is considered as much a sine qua non with a German as with French girl, but it is not arranged in the same businesslike way, unhappily, 1t would seem. It is left to the young woman her self to attract husband, and as spin sterhood in Germany has few attractions girls are continually occupied with their matrimonial chances.
 An unmarried woman Is an absolute failure. While her parents live she re- mains in entire subservienee to them, and when they die she is usually terribly poor, while if of good birth she would rather starve than work for pay. If she belongs to an aristoeratic family she may obtain a small allowance of about a hundred and twenty-five dollars year. with board and lodging. In q Stlft. or sort of lay convent, endowed by success sive benefactors for the support of these unmarried daughters and sisters. Resi- dence in the stift is only compulsory for a few months of the year, and the stift- dame may visit and receive friends as much as she likes.
 Teaching is the principal occupation open to those women obliged to earn their livelihood but the government ex- aminations are severe the pay poor and the work hard, and there are few oppor- tunities of rising.
 Of late years women are beginning to work for university degrees so that they may take equal places with the men in the schools. and the Frobel movement has helped some to more satisfactory po- sitions. Hospital nursing Is almost the only other profession open to the sex Dentists are numerous, but medical de- grees must still be obtained abroad, and feminine journalism is confined to the realm of fashion.

THE CHINESE LIBEL LAW.
The Celestial Empire Follows the Ex- ample of the State of Pennsylvania.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 The Chinese government, impressed, doubtless, by the determination of the Pennsylvania authorities to throttle the press of the Keystone State, has decided to infllct severe punishment on editors of the Celestial empire who publish disagreeable things about their rulers. Recently newspaper at Shanghai printed an article reaecting on the integrity of. high officials of~,St imperial government, and even inti- mating that the royal fanny was not as honest as 1t might be. The offend ing paper is tho organ of the reform party in China. Its utterances brought dowr apon 1t the wrath of the govern ment. It's office was closed by the authorities and warrants were issued for the arrest of the entire editorial staff. Shanghai Is a foreign settle ment, and, under the treaty, the &C., cused journalists should be tried with in the limits of the settlement. Fear ing, perhaps, that the editors may es- cape with a light punishment, the Chinese government has demanded that they be surrendered to the pro vincial authorities for trial. The pro vincial courts are in full sympathy with the imperial government and, it is believed, would inflict the death penalty on journalists who dared to intimate that the honesty of Chinese rulers and officials is open to sus- picion.
 Fortunately for the editors, the con suls at Shanghai have interyened in their behalf and insisted that the trial be held in that city before mixed court, In the presence of the British consular assessors. This will insure the Celestial editors a fair trial, and there is no probability that they will be beheaded They will be defended by distinguished English lawyers, and it may be taken for granted that if there are any Englishmen on the jury the imperial authorities will be dis appointed in the verdict. The law of China Is very severe on persons who publish unfriendly comments on the acts of the sovereign or of officials of high station. An editor who lives in foreign settlement, however, may tell the truth without forfeiting his life Unfortunately for Pennsylvania editors, there is no foreign settlement in that state in which truth-telling journalist may publish facts and es- cape trial under the new libel act. In this respect the Chinese journalist has distinct advantage over his brethren in the State of William Penn.

ALASKAN PROTEST AGAINST loo MUCH
SEATTLE SPIRIT.-The Wrangel Cham.
Der Of Commerce have issued printed
circular protesting against the organi-
cation of the Southwestern Trap Co.,
at Seattle, having for its object the
control of all fish caught for the can
neries of southeastern Alaska. They
declare it to a "direct thrust at not
only the many fishermen of Alaska,
but at every business man, as the OPP
orators will be hired in Seattle, paid in
Seattle and their money spent in Sc
attic, thus depriving all lines of bus.
mess in Alaska OF their legitimate
trade" They propose, in self-defense,
if the project is sustained, to sever
business relations with the Wholesale
houses in Seattle, to whom the Alas
kan merchants have paid millions OF
dollars annually. AS an additional
alternative the Chamber has under
contemplation plan for licensing all
fishermen, those only to be eligible
who have resided in Alaska year
previous to announcement of the fish
ing season. The appeal is for all citi-
zens to stand shoulder to shoulder
in this just demand for justice in So
curing the trade of Alaska for Alas.
