Exact Obedience.

Native servants in India have the
generally desirable, though sometimes
inconvenient, virtue of the Chinese
doing exactly as they are told. The
trouble is that they seldom use judg-
ment.
Lord Roberts curing a campaign in
India had ordered his man to prepare
his bath at a certain hour. One day a
fierce engagement was going on, but
the servant made his way through q
storm of bullets and appeared at his
commanders side.
"Sahib," said he "your bath is
ready"
Even a better sto"y comes from an
unknown soldier who was awakened
one morning by feeling the servant OF
a brother officer pulling at his foot.
"Sahib," whispered the man, ''sa-
hib, what am / to do? Ny master told
me to wake him at half past 6, but he
did not go to bed till T."

Merrick, a wealthy farmer, who was
recently adjudged incompetent, as
saulted his attendant, Jacob Wagner,
during the night. Merrick was asleep
when the assault was committed. The
old man dreamed that burglars had en-
tered the room and were attempting
to steal his money.
SO vivid was the dream that he
leaped from his bed and picking up a
glass tumbler near the bed he threw
it at Wagner. Wagner was struck in
the back Of the head and was slightly
cut. When Merrick was awakened
from his sleep he was still convinced
of the truth of his dream and it was
necessary to call the police to get him
to return to bed.

WoIseIey's Opinion of the Chin

WOIseley's Opinion of the Chinese.
1t was Lord Wolseley who regarded
the Chinese as the greatest race in the
world. His opinion was formed about
1860, when he was in China, and he
never renowned it. He said to a rep
resentative of the Strand Magazine:
'The Chinese people possess all the
elements of being a great people They
have courage, physical power and alb
solute contempt for death. Today i'll
that country soldering is looked down
upon. Only the failures in life enter
the army. Let q Bismarck or q Ma
poleOn rise UP among them, and in two
generations they would be the greatest
nation and conquering power in the
world. They only need a leader. Give
them progress, and they will conquer.
Three hundred years ago they were
the head of the world, but their growth
was Stunted. China wants a modern
man with modern ambitions. Let their
leader come, and they must revive
again."
