CHINESE EXAMINATIONS.
The COnfucian System I'm Its Primal
Condition COnfOrmed To in
Kau Chou Flu.

Learning in the east is held in great
esteem, and a scholar is a marked and
privileged man. The pride of Dart
mouth in Webster or of Harvard in
Lowell is not comparable to that be-
slowed upon successful scholar-man-
darins in China. In THE Educational
Conquest of the Far East" Mr.. r. E.
Lewis describes a typical literary CEN
ter, Kan Chou Flu, where students go
for their examinations. Here the Con-
fucian system is in it's primal condi-
ton.
The opening of an examination pre-
sents a brilliant scene. The approaches
to the great Enclosure, the main red
hall and the decorated platform are
lighted with red and yellow lanterns
swung from post to post. The doors are
thrown open at midnight, and 1000 car
didates, dressed in the long blue robes
of the scholar, marsh in and take seats
at the benches.
The literary chancellor of the province
in silken magnificence, attended by sec
retaries, takes his seat on the platform
under the canopy. The policemen take
their posts, the doors are closed, and the
text" from the classics is announced.
The students sit on long, narrow set
tees, and must keep their hands on the
writing-boards, for a man may be ex-
PEELED from the examination hall if he
is caught lingering his clothing. Never
theless, the dullard and the cheap youth
are not wanting. They often try to
conceal cribs" in the braid of their
queues and in seams of their garments,
and in their shoes. But as the text"
selected by the chancellor is not known
until it is announced, and as the stu
dent must forthwith begin to write his
essay under the eye of the examiner
and his lieutenants, cheating is diff
cult.
The 1000 men who took their seats
on this first midnight are sounded out
by the big drum at six in the afternoon.
Thus they are given IS hours to ON
plete their essays They are allowed
to bring into the hall only light %confec-
tionery, although tea is passed often;
IA thSy oiV SAPNNGCu W WIN dllu HOl
to eat. They are allowed the following
six hours from sunset till midnight for
rest, and then the same men assemble
for the second trial. On the third night
the 1000, or those who are thought fit.
make their third effort. With the third
period the examination is ended, ard
the student left to his own devices,
while a second set of 1000 men enters
on the three days ordeal. This process
goes on until all the men have shown
their literary capacity.
There is much anxiety, and every one
is on the qui vive until the fateful list
OF 200 is posted at the entrance. There
is grief in $500 homes, but in the towns
where the successful 200 live there is
feasting and much family pride; the
holder of a degree is a hero at home.

pop SOC|ALS
REORGAN|zE
Popular Bowling Team Elect New
Officers and Plan for
the Ball.

At a special meeting of the Pop
meeting room, 1852 Smith street, the
club was practically recognized. 1t
was agreed to keep the present name,
bnt all new officers were elected with
the exception of the treasurer. They
are as follows: President, Charles
Myers; vice president, Thomas Far
roat; secretary, L. B. Moore; Ser
geant-at-Arms. Frank Schantz James
Kirby, who has always held the posi-
ton of treasurer, was reelected to
that place.
For a long time there has been dis
content among the club members and
the special meeting was the final out
come. After the election of the
officers, Mr.. Kirby read the report for
the past year which showed that the
club had a small sum of money stand
ing to their credit in the First Nation
al Bank. L was voted 10 keep this IN
the bank. The subject of o ball came
up and as originally planned the boys
will have Wilder Hall on. Wednesday
night, the 27th.
The floor manager will be George
Cowen, assisted by Bert Redwood
and James Kirby. The committee in
charge of refreshments will be Patrick
Lyons, chairman, Charles Palmer,
Charles Myers, George Bath, Frank
Schantz, James Durham. Elmer
Christopherson and L. B. Moore. The
cloak roo will be in charge of John
Martin.
After the election last night all sat
down to a hearty supper. President
Myers made a speech in which he
thanked the club for electing him
president, and said that he would try
and do his duty in all respects. He
told of how, over q year ago, the
Haapsr asId Gipks bowling teams con-
solidated, formed q partnership and
became known as the Pop Social club.
In the next bowling match the Pops
will try and have q first class team.
The next meeting of the club will be
held on Monday, the Goth.

DRESS AND
Men Swelter and Swear In Hot
Weather, But Keep On Wear
ing the Same Suit.

Not the least of the drawbacks of civ
~ilization is the character of clothing that
civilized convention requires the man
person to wear during the heated
months. Womankind usually dresses
somewhat more sensibly, but even she
finds stays and like denominations a
great burden in midsummer. One
never heard of savages suffering from
heat prostration, nor do we get reports
of country boys being similarly af-
fected. says the indianapolis Journal.
Man, particularly if he over 80, is dis
posed to be ultra-conservative in the
matter of clothing. He likes to wear
n suit of clothing four or five months,
and then put on another and wear it a
similar length of time, and so on. When
the hot months come he may make the
concession of leaving off his waistcoat,
but that is usually as far as he goes for
street wear. He will wear a somewhat
lighter suit of underwear in summer
than in winter, but this and the Invested
waistcoat are practically the only diff
ferentiation made in the character of
clothing that is expected to serve for
the chill months, Stiff linen collars.
heavy linen cuffs, a coat and not infre-
suently a stiff hat are chung to like grim
death for the most ordinary street wear,
while, if the occasion be any sort of
function, men are as likely as not to
wear heavy frock coats, waistcoats and
a whole raft of unnecessary cIot%
When the shirt waist fad came in
a few years ago it looked for a time as if
men might give up the foolishness of
coats in midsummer, but the few who
were bold enough to leave them off were
laughed at, and whether 1t was the fear
of ridicule or the lack of pockets that
determined the question, the uncom-
Portable fact remains that custom very
shortly returned to the decree that no
man must appear in public without a
coat. And then he goes on sweltering
and swearing at the weather.

At High Attitudes.

The reason, Signor Mosso tells us,
why so few have attempted the ascent of
the highest peaks on the face of the earth
is the conviction that man cannot with
stand the rarefied air of these attitudes.
"Heroism shrinks from such prolonged
sufferings as these due to the lack Of
health" His w experiment and OBJ
servations, however, give us assurance
that man will be able slowly to accus-
tom himself to the diminished barome-
trio pressure of the Himalayas. "If
birds" he says, "fiy to the height OF
$4,000 feet, man ought to be able to
reach the same altitude at a slow rate OF
nrogress."
