The Mature "Co-Ed."

The statistics compiled by Dean TUFTS
Of the University Of Chicago show q
curious and even surprising disparity
of age between the men and the women
of the graduating class. Tho average
age of the women seniors, or senior
women is 20; that Of the seniores brdcdti,
or trousers-wearing seniors, 2S.
1t will not do to hang too big bundle
Of theory on one little pin Of fact, and
this comparative backwardness Of the
women students in DR.. HARPER's halls
may be regarded as the exception that
proves the rule. That rule, almost .
matter of faith to most Of US, 10 that
girls are brighter than boys, fonder
of study, of earlier mental development,
older intellectually at the Same ago.
Compare a girl Of 10 with . boy OF tho
same age. He is frankly vealy, almost
a child; she is young woman. The
friends of coeducation have asserted,
and believed, and seemed to have reason
for believing, that Miss was quicker at
the books than Master and could ride
in the curriculum with greater ease and
despatch.
Will the psychologists and sociologists
tell us why these pettiooated seniors
with Harperian curls are three years
slower than their brethrenp What il tho
meaning of this score Of 20 to %?

The relation which the New York Post
Office bears to the whole postal service OF
the United States, although thoroughly
understood here, does not appear to be 80
we'll understood everywhere. The revenue
from the New York Post Office is, apprOxi-
mately, 81 100000 a year. The expenses
are, approximately. 5000 900, and the net
profit lie $4,000. 900. The New York city
Post Office Is the money-maker OF the
whole country. and when to the profits OF
New York are added $500 900 more from
Brooklyn it is seen to what extent the New

and the extension OF the service through

Brighter Reports From Manila


The Manila Rerieu nj Trade and Price
Current for April has reached New York.
Concerning business conditions In the
archipelago it makes these encouraging
statements:
There Is no starvation and des,ltutlon in the
Philippine Islands. Hunger and want are un-
known here The population is SO sparse and the
prodgality Of nature SO lavish that any man VINO
goes hungry Is too lazy to gather what nature sup
piles unbiddcn. We arc not In need Of charity. we
do not wan, charity, and protest against any man
bruiting abroad anything to the contrary.
Let US hear less OF this constant croaking about
the poverty stricken Philippines As q matter OF
fact the prosperity Of the Islands ss whole ID
more permanent than ever before. And on In
vestisaton II will be found that only those who are
attempting to do business on borrowed capital are
being pinohed. Conditions In the Philippines are
now normal and only those who have ample capital
Of their own can hope TO stem the tide"
This statement s from the point OF
view Of the man of business at Manila.
In regard to agricultural depression and
the possible future consequences OF the
rinderpest, the Rerieu OF Trodes sum-
mary OF the situation is probably less
accurate and carefully weighed than the
report made that same month to the War
Department by Governor TAFT, who said:
tina, there is a shortag. in tho Islands of the
usual food supply is undoubtedly true. but have
been surprised TO find thus far how little real fam
Inc or hunger there has been. have not re-
celved single call from single provincial Cover
nor for nee for free distribution In the entire arrh-
pelago. - II is true that an unexsmpled
drought in the isan ds has prevented tho planting
from being as productive "a II otherwise would
have been. and that the locusts, too have inter
fered with some Of the crops, but ON the whole
have been greatly surprised 70 md the suffering
20 much less than VIC expected It 10 be-"
In general way the two statements
coincide to correct the too gloomy i'm
preston previously derived from other
sources. As to present agricultural
conditions, the Manila journals tone 10
perhaps little too optimistic. The main
point is the indignant denial that the
islands are poverty stricken, or that they
are candidates to any great extent for
eleemosynary attention.

The Taft.Davis Bill,

In its general plan, the Taft-Davis law,
recently issued for the government Of the
Moros, is entirely wise. A separate
and distinct form of control for the
Moros is IA imperative as are our laws
relating to the Indians. The Moros differ
from the Filipinos in race, in religion. and
in habits of life. While not properly to
be called savages, their social state ia
such that laws and systems which would
be fairly applicable to the Filipinos
would be unsuitable for them.

A. Belgrade.

The prompt action OF the Constitutional
party in Servia under the leadership OF
NJ. AvAKUMov1Ts in calling together
the National Assembly to decide upon
the succession to the throne takes the
question out of the hands of the military
leaders Of the revolution and averts any
immediate danger Of foreign interview
ton. 1t is quite fortunate for Servia
that the Macedonian revolt has brought
about working agreement between
Russia and Austria, as otherwise the
probability is that Austrian troops would
by now have been in occupation of Bel
grade, in addition to the four Danube
monitors that arc keeping watch over
the city from the Austrian side. While
peace is maintained and there is no inter-
ruption of the railway service between
Constantinople and Budapest, interview
ton is unnecessary. Russia and Austria
can afford to wait the issue Of events.
Any immediate danger to Servian indie
pendence, therefore, can come only from
the Servians themselves.
The earnestness of the appeal to the
Servian people by NJ. AvAKUMovIrs
and such of his colleagues as represent
the most conservative elements in the
country shows them to be imbued with
a high sense Of responsibility; and the
invitation to NJ. PAsIrCH and his asso-
ciates, who took refuge at Abbazia in
Austria after the recent coup detdt by
King ALEXANDER, indicates their will
ingness to cooperate with the most
radical section of tho political parties in
bringing order out Of tho confusion
caused by the revolt and crime Of last
Wednesday night. Whatever may be
the outcome of the deliberations OF the
National Assembly that meets Monday,
whether the crown is offered to Prince
PETER KARAaEoRaEv1TCH or to a prince
from some Of the minor royal families OF
Europe, nothing can avert tho eventual
destiny of Servia to become State or
province Of a larger kingdom or empire.
The best that wise and patriotic course
on the part Of the national representa-
tives of Servia can assure as the result
of their deliberations is peaceful transi-
ton into future conditions instead Of
violent one.
King MILAN, the father Of the late i'll
fated King, foresaw with the keen insight
into the future OF his country that he
possessed. that absorption into the Aus
ro-Hungarian system was probable. 1t
became 80 much his conviction, after tho
failure OF his Bulgarian project, that he
ceased to take any strenuous interest in
Balkan politics. The overwhelming pre-
dominance Of Austria in the political and
commercial affairs Of Servia. dictated by
natural considerations, geographical and
social, rendered resistance to the force Of
events unavailing; and tho understand
ing now existing between Russia and
Austria makes it moro 80.
For Bulgaria and Roumania the now
situation in Servia is of supreme interest
The possibility Of Danuban or Balkan
Confederation outside Of Austria-H Hun
gary and Russia that was at one time
dreamed OF has been lessened by tho
events Of the past week at Belgrade.

Buddhist Propaganda In America.
At San Francisco is published tho Light
Of Dharma. 1t is bi-monthly maya
zine devoted to the teachings OF BuDDHA.
and the Rev K. HoRI, superintendent
of Buddhist missions in America, 10 it,
conductor.
We send forth into tho great world
this little journal, writes Mr.. HoRI, on
tho theory that the time has now como
for the Buddhists from the so-oalled
Buddhist countries Of tho Orient to meet
the intellectual and spiritual demand Of
the Occident Of the present age for
the most glorious teachings Of COM
passion, purity, peace and wisdom az
proclaimed in India by the BuDpHA
SAKYAMUNI about 900 years before
CHRIST
MIR. HoR1 gave up professorship Of
the philosophy Of religion in the Uni
versity Of Toxic In Japan in order to take
charge OF the San Francisco Buddhist
mission, and the number Of the Light Of
Dharma before us announces that In the
near future many graduates Of that
institution, all active, energetic young
men, will come to this country to study
in our universities, with view to spread
Buddhism in the Western world. So
far, at least, the recruits for the Bud
dhist forces in the United States seem to
b. obtained chiefly by immigration from
Japan, the membership OF the Cali
fornia mission being wholly or almost
Vnoov,poh ka
number of Japanese in this country was
returned by the census Of 1900 as 81 500,
they are sufficient Of themselves to sup
port many Buddhist missions, II they are
so minded.
The Buddhist propaganda in this coun-
try ia also pushed vigorously and hope
fully from India. At Calcutta and Co.
lombo, Ceylon, earnest associations for
the purpose have been organized and
papers and magazines to assist the
propaganda are published there. In
Japan, the Orient a bi-monthly jour-
nal printed in the English language,
but edited by Japanese and the organ
of the Society of Oriental Research, is
also in sympathy with the Buddhist
propaganda.
The only articles In this number OF the
Light of Dhdrmd contributed by Ameri-
cans are two by women. Mrs. Lillian
SHREWSBURY MEsICK, writing OF The
Light of the World assumes that be-
cause of the coming Of Buddhist priests
and the establishment OF missions OF
their religion there has been aroused
some apprehension on the part of the
members of the Christian Churches here, :"
but we have seen no signs Of any such
alarm. Christian Science is feared, but
nobody seems to be disturbed by visions
Of a possible competition from Buddhism.
1t is true, however, that at this period
OF religious doubt and revolution any
novel attempt to explain the mystery
of life and death provokes curiosity, at
least. In the eyes of Mrs. MEslcK the
outlook for Buddhism is bright, for
she sees the probability that before
many years Buddhism will be a. well
