Education Working Wonders in
China.
Changes That Are Taking Place in the
TIOwery Kingdom. Especially among
the Women, Who Are Breaking
Away from Restraints and AS
sorting Their individuality.

Most Of the missionary schools and
colleges in China are very interesting:
the native institutions are even more go,
and the most interesting of all are the
schools for girls, which are springing
up ali over the Empire, as they are all
over japan, for the education OF the
daughters of mandarns, who nave only
recently discovered that women have
souls and. like plants. are improved by
cultivation, writes William +. Curtis in
the Chicago Record-Herald.
The education of women in China out
side of the missionary orphanagcs is
still a novelty. The first high school for
girls, / believe in all the empire was
started in Shanghai BY Or. Young j. AL
len in 1889. and is now in charge Of Miss
Richardson. Of Springfield. Mo. who has
eighty young women from mandarin fam
lilies under her care She is ambitious to
raise il to the rank Of a college. Mr.
Kung Sing Ming, son of n former min
lister to England and a rich man. has
lihtercstcd himself and other Chinese gen.
tlemcn, and has raised 0o.cO tacls to
purchase n site for 4 womars college
on the American plan, and Miss Rich
arlson, who is now taking her vacation
in the United States. will cndcavor to
raise money enough for the first build
ing.
! The first native school for mandarins'
daughters was started in 1898 by King
Ling san, superintendent of teieCraphs,
with Miss Allen as director and Miss
Shh and Miss Kahn. young Chinese doc
tors from the University of Michigan, as
her assistants. but when the Empress
Dowaeer resumed control of affairs the
school was closed and Mr. King was
compelled to flee for his life II has not
yet been rcopencd, and the teachers are
now conducting hospita! and school

ner satisfactory to the Slatc. There has
been some opposition advanced to the
revision OF the statutes 50 soon after
the last revision which WAS in 1884, on the
ground that the work was not necos-
stY at this time and that a very great
expense Will be incurred. Many lawyers
of the class which uses the statutes
most--dcclare that the last revision would
have been satisfactory several years long
or. with a new index. But tho measure
authorizing the rccomp.ling has been
signed by the governor and is law
There is no obioctins TO the revision

THE ARMY CANTEEN QUESTION
AND CONDITIONS At FORT
ETHAN ALLEN.
From the Rutland News)
There has been considerable discussion
over the bill introduced by Senator Proc
tor, providing for the sale of beer in
army canteens The Boston Record says:
quite appropriately the bill providing for
the sale of beer in army posts and cam
teens comes from Senator Proctor of
Vermont. who has seen Fort Ethan Al
lon in his own state changed under the
operation of the anti-cantecn law from
an orderly post into 4 disoiderly station
where crime. attempted murders and as
saults have been frequent owing to the
vile stuff the soldiers bought outside
in the absence OF any privileges at the
| garrison"
To this the Brockton, Mass, Times
adds: Senator Proctor simply chooses
the less of two evils in this bill. He
knows what has heen done by the aboll-
ton OF the army canteen.'

The United Statas fish commission
