CHAPTER Xxx.

The first railway was opened In China
about 1877. and ran from Shanghai to
FouTcheou. The Grand Transasiatic
followed very closely the Russian road
proposed in 1874 by Tashkend. Kouldja,
Kami. Ian Tcheou, Singan. and Shang-
hal. This railway did not run through
the populous central provinces, which
can be compared to vast and humming
hives of bees. aud extraordinarily pro-
life bees. As nearly as possible 1t forms
a straight line to SouTchcou before
| curving off to Ian Tcheou; it reaches
cities by the branches it gives out to the
south and southeast.
Since we left Kothan. we have covered
a hundred and fifty kilometers in four
hours. 1t is not high rate of speed,
hut We cannot expect on this part of the
Transasiatic the same rate of travelling
we experienced on the Transcaspian
Either the Chinese engineers are not so
fast. or. thanks to their natural indo-
lence. the engine drivers imagine that
from thirty to forty miles an hour Is the
maximum that can be obtained on the
railways of the Celestial Empire

from very practical point Of view.

of it the Life Travellers Society, In

Horatia and Fulk-nothing less. The
Anglo American couple were right, the
enormous loss would have had to be
borne by the Grand Transasiatic, for the
company must have known they were
carrying a treasure and not corpse,
and thereby they were responsible.
As to the Caternas. the millions roll

That Ok Cart Incident.

Gov. Bells ride to the Rutland fair in
an OK cart, like Banquo's ghost, will not
down and the Washington POSTS severe
arraignment Of the incident has given
the Governor and the state more adver-
Using than it has had since the days that
Mary Rogers career occupied the first
page with scare headlines OF the metro
politan dailies. Editor George Harvey
of Harper's Weekly is the last journalist
to comment on the incident and his spicy
views here follow
The Washington Post expresses disgust
because, in recent speech, Governor
Bell OF Vermont declared that "oxen are
typical Of the character of Vermont"
The Posts notion is that the Green
Mountain farmer will resent the COM
parison as an attempt by Governor Bell
to patronize him. Apparently, the Post
doesn't know that Mr.. Bell himself is the
first farmer in the state, and was elected
governor chic fly because for years be has
been Master OF the Grange. Indeed, he
has never been anything else, and his
medder patches, billy pastures, and rec
barns are the pride OF Walden. Still, WI
are disposed to assent mildly to tn
Justice OF the Posts criticism. The OK i
we'll enough, but, after all, he is only al
OK, patient and plodding and tractable
but, alas invariably stupid. Even tn
cow on the great seal is to be preferred
to say nothing of the spirited buck repre-
sented above the Freedom and Unity.
Governor Bell can do better. If be woul

character OF the great, uncopquered, an
unconquerable commonwealth, let hir
dust his glasses, take the Househol

These constitute state.

If her system is in deranged condi-
ton, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
host of nervous irritations, make life
a burden.
At this time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz-
illness, headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before
the eyes, irregularities, constipation,
variable appetite, weakness and inqui-
etude are promptly needed by intelll-
gent women who are approaching the
period of life when womans great
change may be expected.
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound is the worlds greatest remedy
for women at this trying period, and
may be relied upon to overcome all dis
tressing symptoms and carry them
safely through to healthy and happy
old age.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other
medicine can.
Mrs A. E. G. Hyland, of Chester
town, Md, in letter to Mrs. Pink
ham, says:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
'I had been suffering with falling Of the
womb for years and was passing through the
change of life Ny womb was badly swollen.

headaches, and was very nervous. wrote

with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound as you directed, and I am happy to say
that all those distressing symptoms left me-
and have passed safely through the change

For special advice regarding this i'm
portant period women are invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. 1t

A Note of Warning.

Prof. John M. Tyler of Amherst Col
lege, recognized authority on educa-
tional affairs in New England, has sound
ed timely note of warning against the
pressure upon young ladies in their col
lege course. He was guest OF the Con
necticut Valley Headmasters Club and
the Western Massachusetts, Grammar
Masters Club at Springfield Saturday,
and among other things said
THE rigid entrance requirements OF
women's colleges are working incalcu-
liable injury to girls"
If there is one girl to graduate at the
end Of the year, even though 999 have
dropped out physical wrecks, then will
the elect get together and thank God for
the one graduate.
Prof. Tyler commended that the young
woman of today was not so we'll equip
ped physically for the strain of college
life as her counterpart of generation
ago. "The change" he said, lis due to
the lessened vigor of parents. The gen
tleman of the old school who could mas.
ter four bottles of port at a sitting has
disappeared"
Prof. Tyler is on the right track and he
probably realizes more than any one else
that our young people are under pressure,
not only in women's colleges, but in the
academy, high school and even the gram
mar school. Too little attention is paid
to exercise and recreation in our second
airy schools and more work is constantly
demanded of the young folks. There is
enough of the strenuous life without hav.
Ing it begin in our grammar schools and
continue until the scholar finishes a col
lege course, if, indeed, the pupil does not
drop out before that time. Prof. Tyler

Judge lde for Governor General.

The announcement that Governor
General Wright is soon to retire from his
position as the administrative head OF
the Philippine Islands is of especial local
interest as the next in line to this most
important post is our own distinguished
townsman, Hon. Henry {. Ide, the
present vic6-governor of the islands.
Various newspaper reports have been
circulated which can hardly be regarded
as authoritative. 1t has been stated
that Gov. Wright resigns because as a
Southerner he has not been as cordial to
the natives as man in this position
ought to be. This is not true for hi:

CIose-Range View of the Philippines.

Charles Hopkins Clark, editor of the
Hartford Courant, who accompanied
the Taft party on the journey to the Far
East. has been writing to his paper a
series of articles on the Philippines which
are illuminating and which deserve
especial consideration from the anti
imperialist coterie who found in Aguinal-
do Geogre Washington, in the Taga-
logs the prototypes OF our Revolutionary
sres, and who could see no reason why
the far.distant islands with some co
different tribes or classes of people should
not be accorded the same treatment as
Cuba. Mr.. Clark found that there is no
distinctive Philippine people. There
are" he says, friendly and untriendly
wild men, there are Christians and Mo-
hammedans, there are ignorant and
also intelligent and the last named are
usually of mixed blood, gifted more or
less with the Spanish propensity for
office. seeking and revolution"
There will be no Philippine independ-
ence for years. mo thoughtful, level
headed man." says our editor, "who
comes out here and looks over the
ground is likely to back up any such
policy. 1t is an 'iridescent dream and
cannot be realized for generations. 1t is
safe to say that nobody alive today will
see an independent Philippine govern
ment. Should any change of admins
tration lead our country to throw the
islands over-at present an idle hypoth-
esis,-there would be national dissen-
sions until somebody else with strong
arm came along and took possession.
The question then would be whether the
new conqueror proposed like the Span
iards of old to squeeze all possible from
the people, or like the United States
undertook to develop their latent posi-
biities for their own benefit as we'll as
! ours. y Brattleboro Phoenix.

gracious hospitality that won the admi-
ration of all foreigners and natives alike.
The statement that Judge Ide is about
to retire because of advancing years is
equally absurd. He is in the prime of
ripe manhood and as vigorous as any
man in the public service. He is the
logical candidate for the head of the
commission. He has earned this place
by years of constructive work on the
commission and has been warmly praised
by the former head of the commission,
Secretary Taft, for his executive ability
and judicial and financial reforms in the
islands. II, as has been stated, the Presi-
dent appoints Gen. Leonard Wood as
Governor. General he will make a most
serious mistake. The one man fitted for
this place is Hon. Henry c. Ide and we
have enough confidence in the Judge
ment of Secretary Taft and President
Roosevelt to believe that Judge Ide will
get the appointment he has so richly
earned and is so eminently qualified to fill.

Charles W. Bartlett, the democratic
nominee for governor Of the Bay State,
announces his creed thus: For the
benefit of Massachusetts, industries,
believe that Congress should place upon
the free list hides, coal, iron ore, lumber
and wood pulp, and that duties upon
manufactured and other articles should
be reduced wherever possible. am also
convinced that reciprocal trade treaties
should be made by this country with
Canada and other nations" The reci-
procity flavor in this creed suits the taste
of E. N. Foss, leader OF the reciprocity
section of the republican party there,
and he bids fair to bolt. Just how many
of his fellows would follow him in sup
port of the democratic ticket is an open
question, but it seems likely that Mass
achusetts gubernatorial campaign will
be a busy and somewhat entertaining
one again this year.
