Chinese Letters in English.

From the London Chronicle.
Through the Office window comes the Yei-
low Dragon--the organ OF the Queens Col
Iege at Hong Kong. which is devoted to
the education of the Chinese young In
European methods. From the family let
tiers reproduced we gather that business
methods are taught in this college. Writes
one youth, "a great beneficial strange sub
tect to me is that an English man came
to the college and gave disposal OF de-
nverinx on the southern seas and the va
rious kinds OF beautiful girls" But these
Chinese students are halfway between
athleticism and study. for one of them
writes thus:
II also work very hard ana never waste
my time In walking.

The Question Of Age.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
A woman of Columbus. Ohio. was sent to
Jail for refusal to tell her age in court.
After studying the matter for twenty-four
hours, the Judge decided that an answer
was not material to the case and ordered
her release. In this simple circumstance
there Is triumph.
Women are averse to telling their age.
Nobody can give q reason exactly. They
seem to go upon the theory that the matter
Is nobody's business but their own. To
prove the theory unsound would be din
cult, For the court to take the course II
did was thoughtful and polite, and did not
deprive that august tribunal Of any of its
Just powers.
When a woman IL by legal requirement
forced to divulge the precious secret of her
age she does it with q mental reservation
that deprives her statement OF intrinsic
value. For instance. she may be widow
With SOP OF twenty six. and blithely affirm
that her own years number thirty. Would
any masculine scofYer venture to charge
her with error7 He might think the stu
alton surprising. but gailantry would forbid
comment.
Understanding the aversion of womanlxind
to taking the public into confidence con-
corning personal statistics, inquisitive In
dividuals ought to withhold impairment
questions. II the woman does not want to
tell she won't tell, and II coerced into max
ing reply that seems to be definite she
will knock or decade or two and never:
blush. So interrogatory becomes not only
useless, but involves the direct temptation
to fb. Moreover, who cares how old
woman Is, since her right to be as young as
she looks is proverbialf

'One day on the Via Sistina. as passed

of Lucullus. saw an old man tending the
superb roots that grow there. He was
pouring on their roots a dark, rich-looking
fluid
why are the Roman roses so beautiful
and abundant I said to the old man.
Because they eat meat he answered.
Eat meat? Nonsense said l.
well, they drink meat-meat extract.
which is the same thing, said the old man.
We Roman gardeners have for centuries
watered our roses thrice week with
strong decoction OF fresh beef-a rich grade
of beef tea. They are meat eaters. That
is why the roses Of Rome are as hardy
and prolific as weeds and at the same
time as richly, delicately beautiful and as

Bodleian First Folio Identified.

Frtm the London Globe.
The folio Shakespeare which came back
to Oxford hands through the marvellous
persistence of the Bodleian librarian, who
raised $4,000 to secure it was in the DOS
session of Mr.. Turbutt and he asked adj
vice about 1t at the British Museum; he
was recommended to have II nicely repaired
and bound In red morocco. II that had
been done the Identity of the book would
have vanished. Then came a very funny
story indeed. The calf binding was a poor
one, with very little ornament. and a good
deal the worse for wear. Mr.. MADAM. a
sub-librarian. thought Il was the original
binding. and asked the opinion of Mr.. Glib
son. who was an authority on the subject.
Mr.. Gibson noticed at the head and tail of
the back of the volume rather rudiment-
airy form of ornament described as hatch
ing" consisting of simple diagonal lines
inclosed by double parallel lines. which he
had observed to be a distinctive feature of
common Oxford bindings in the latter part
of the sixteenth and the early part of the
seventeenth century. and pronounced the
binding to be contemporary Oxford work.
1t was also noticed that the book bore
marks of having been chained.
These points suggested the possibility that
the book might be the copy which had
come to the Bodleian In 1922. which APP
peared in the supplementary catalogue of
1885, but not In the catalogue of 1914. hav-
ing probably been sold according to the
rule laid down by BodleyD as a surplus book
on the appearance in 1894 of the third folio.
which would be regarded a. a more COM
plete edition. In his monograph on early
Oxford Bindings" Mr.. Gibson had printed
from the Bodleian register a list of books
delivered for binding to William wildgoosa
on February IL. 123-4. This included be-
sides the FIRST folio Shakespeare several
volumes which We're still I'm the library.
These Were compared with Mr.. Turbutt's
Shakespeare. and 1t was found not only
that the tooling was Identical in all the
volumes. but the four of them. of which

ter In the fifteenth century. 1t was thus
evident that the Shakespeare had been
at the same time with the other volumes,

Divorce Among the Burmese.

from tne Lahore Tribune. = TX
The marriage customs OF the Burmese
are simple In the extreme man and
woman are married or are not married,
according to whether they live as husband
and wife or not. A man may have several
wives. though In practice he rarely has
more than one.
A woman may have only one husband.
Divorce is a matter for the village elders.
No court is necessary. no decree, no appeal
to legal or ecclesiastical authority. Divorce
is but the breaking of a status. A wife re-
tains control of all her property when mar
ried: she has a half share in all property
acquired during the marriage II she is
divorced she takes her own property and
half that Jointly acquired. There is no
blending of her authority with that of her
husband She may do what she will with
her own. -,-.
There is no rule OF primogeniture and no
power of bequeathing property by tesla
ment All the children inherit equally. No
Buddhist may make will. Whatever a
man or a woman dies possessed of must
be divided according to the rules OF con-
sanquinity. There Is no preference of either
sex. All children are equal In this matter.

MAI. ARMIES PROTESTS,
Declares Objections to Method Of
-. Grading Near His Property,

Protesting against the action of the Com
mfssioners In finally adop ting certain grades
on Connecticut avenue and Albemarle street
northwest, Major George A. Armes appear
ed at hearing before the board today and
read paper severely arraigning the Com
missioners, and the District engineer de-
partment particularly. He said the new
grades would not only ruin hts property at
Fairfield" but that the manner in which
the engineer department was conducting
the work was grossly incompetent and
would result In material waste of public
funds. The $4,000 appropriated for this
work by Congress has already been ex-
pended the major claimed. and the work
has not been half finished SO that an APP
preparation OF an additional SO, 900 win be
required before the grading can be accom-
piished on the plans of the local govern
ment.
Fifteen years ago, Maj. Armes said, he
dedicated at least 100000 worth OF land to
the District for streets In the vicinity of
Fairfield. with the understanding that the
grades on Connecticut avenue I'm front OF
his home would not be arranged so as to
require cut of more than seven feet. A
year later. he continued. the District cut
out the earth to depth OF twenty-seven
feet and are now at work cutting eight feet
more. In doing this, Maj. Armes said, the
District not only broke faith with him. but
ne mas Deen ana Is De1HE nurI financially.
In making the present cut OF eight feet
on Connecticut avenue Maj. Armes stated
the District Is animated by the sole desire
of securing earth to make fill on AIber-
marie street between Connecticut avenue
and Grant road. where. he claims AIbe-
marie street was enormously cut to too
great depth when grades were there es-
tablshed-
Commissioner West made a statement
concerning the new cut in Connecticut ave-
nue.. to the effect that 1t was not the sole
purpose to get earth to make the All on
Albemarle street. but that II would be
necessary to make the cut on Connecticut
avenue some time In the near future to
satisfy the public demand for a better road,
and that the material now being taken out
to reduce the grade in one place was being
utilized at the nearest possible point. that
being regarded as the most economical step
In the premises
Mr.. West added that IT was always the
object OF the Commissioners to secure the
greatest good to the greatest number. and
that he saw no reason why the board
should not ignore the protest Of ene man
as against the many
At the close Of the hearing Major Ames
said that. although he believed he was be-
ing done an injustice. he did not expect to
gain his object from the Commissioners.
hu. that 1t was his purpose today simply to
get the whole case on record 80 that the
matter can be carried baforo Congress at
the next session.
