 CHINESE STUDYTNG IN JAPAN.

Japan is helping China both by ex- ample and precept. The Chinese have discovered that they can learn of Ja- pan, and therefore, while eight years ago there were only two Chinese stu dents in Japan, there are now 2,641. The Chinese authorities are themselves encouraging this impulse towards for eign study. Candidates for the public examinations who have studied in Ja- pan are excused from the provincial tests formerly necessary, and may pro- ceed direct to the final examination at Picking. Moreover, certificates of cer- tain standards of proficiency obtained in Japan have now equal validity with those gained at the Chinese local ex- aminations. At the first examination in China after the new system had been started thirteen students from Japan were successful, eight in the first class and five in the second; and, as spe- cial mark of imperial favor, they were received in audience few days later at the Chinese court.

BEAUrr,s POWER IN ST. LOUIS.

The power of woman's beauty has long been known and feared, but per- haps it has never shown itself as it has just shown itself in St. Louis. IL is said that a rich young widow of Chicago, who has been sOjourning in St. Louis for eight weeks, is So hand some that street car conductors forget their solemn oath to th9 company and do not ask her for her fare.

Every time I get on car get out coin and hold 1t in my hand, but the con- ductor never comes for it. Often he passes and looks at me, but he does not seem able to see my outstretch- ed hand"
 Perhaps there is only one woman in the world as beautiful as all this, and perhaps street car conductors in St. Louis are more susceptible than the conductors in other cities. We do not believe that the woman who is flabber- gasting the St. Louis conductors would trouble the New Haven men. They might notice her, but they see too many pretty women to be over whelrned by one. even if she is the limit

 Last spring "Scotty'' wrote Mir. Ge- rard at New York. asking for fifteen hundred dollars to buy a wagon and team of mules. to travel back and forth between Daggett and the mine; the money was refused. MT. Gerard replied that it was about time the mine was beginning to pay dividends, for, notwithstanding 'Scotty's" reckless display of cash and his extravagant assertions of the richness of his dis covery. he has never repaid his part ner for funds advanced, and has not even made an accounting to him. Mir. Gerard, losing confidence in "Scotts's" reports, employed Antonio Apache, a we'll known and highly educated Indian, Who was an assistant of Professor Putnam in the Peabody Museum at Cambridge and in the ethnological de. partment of the Worlds Fair gt Chi cago, to follow "Scotty's" trail and as- certain the facts about the mine. AL though Apache was provided with a map, furnished by Scott to MT.

EDITOR OSBORY'S BOOK.

We believe it was Charles Dudley Warner who said that a man might write good stuff for a newspaper all his life and be called only 6 scribbler' But if he took some of his scribbling and put it in book form then he would be called an author. Editor Osborn, of the Register, who has been writing well for newspapers all his life, is now an author, because the "Reminiscences" which have recently delighted the readers of the Register have been pub lished in a book, the title of which is "A Glance Backward; Editorial Remi- niscences." These "Reminiscences are richly worthy of such publication and preservation. They contain much that is deeply interesting to present read CTS, and much that will be more and more valuable as the men and things dealt with in them become shadows, or less.
 Job earnestly regretted that his ad- versary had not written book. As Brother Osborn has no adversaries he will not please them by his book, but he will please the many who have a friendly interest in him and his career, and he will also please the impartial reader. for his book is good writing and good reading of kind that is not com- mon enough. By and by another book of the same kind from the same pen will be in order.

anywhere near the Bennett. Hole.
 Apache went over the entire district. He interviewed nearly every inhabi- tant of the desert. And if "Scotty" has located thirty-eight claims, as he asserts to his partner, they have never heard of the fact and he has forgot ten to go through the usual and neces- sary formaIities of recording them. Apache has made a. full report to MT. Gerard, and it is believed that a knowledge of that fact was the cause and motive of "seotty's' wild ride to the east.
 It is the general opinion here, among people who know him best, that in his grand splurges "scotty'' has been spending MT, Gerards money. He has not spent very much of it, however not so much as one would infer from the demonstration he has made and the advertising he has received in the newspapers. Although he is called The.
