The Limit

A young man from the South who a
few years ago was 80 fortunate as to
be enabled to enter the law Office Of a
well-known New York firm was first In
trusted with a very simple case. He
was asked by the late James G. Carter,
then a member of the firm, to give an
opinion in writing. When this was
submitted it was observed by Mr.. Car.
ter that, with the TOUCHING confidence
Of a neophyte, the young Southerner
had begun with the expression, II am
clearly of opinion"
When this caught his eye he smiled
and said:
"My dear young friend, never state
that you are clearly Of opinion on a
law point. The most you can hope to
discover is the preponderance Of the
doubt.

GREATEST NAVAL PAGEANT.


Best Part Of Amerfca's Navy Re-
viewed b. the President.
The most imposing naval pageant
ever seen In American waters passed
In review recently before President
Roosevelt In Long Island sound. A
combined feet of sixty-one naval ves-
sells, representing every type Of ship In
use In the navy except hospital ship
and marine ship, greeted the Presl-
dent and vast throny Of sightseers on
hundreds Of yachts, excursion boats,
launches and rowboats. There were
forty-three fighting ships, ranging from
the massive battleships like the Rhode
Island, of 10000 tons, costing $5,OOO,-
0OO, and from the powerful and fast
armored cruiser. like the West vir-
gnia, Of $4,000 tons, costing $3,S0O.O 600.
down to the submarine Shark, Of 100
tons, costing probably $4,000. The
combined cost Of the ships, SO far as
construction was concerned, was prob
ably more than $125OO0,00O.
There were 1925 men on the fleet
including 500 officers, II each ship had
its full complement, and most of them
did. This means that there were
enough men afloat on the warsnips to
supply a city Of 10000 people with men.
There we're something like 1,10O guns
on the combined feet. Three-fourths
Of the feet upon which the President
gazed has been built since the war,
with Spain.

CHINESE TEACHING.
I<>->>>>>->N><-A>><%>

A description of Chinese schoolroom
methods, taken from "a Corner Of
Cathay." Is Of interest as showing the
contrast between schools in the Orient
and schools In this country. Many ED
erly people will recall the time when
practices in the district schools Of the
United States had some of the Chinese
thoroughness and dependence upon the
memory.
The beginner takes his book to the
teacher and hears him read column
or more, after which the pupil returns
to his desk and cons this lesson aloud,
until lie can recite 1t without looking
at it. He then takes his book again to
the teacher, turns his back to the mas.
ter, and recltes what he has learned.
This Is called backing the lesson" In
this way the pupil commits the whole
book to memory, and he is expected to
learn 1t so thoroughly that he can at
any moment repeat the whole of any
passage the initial words of which are
mentioned to him.
Just before the MONDAY recess the
teacher writes q sentiment, a proverb
or a proposition upon slip Of red pa
per and pastes it upon the door. Each
boy, as he goes out, reads the lines, and
in the afternoon renders to the teacher
another line which will, with the first,
make couplet In China all honors,
social, pecuniary and official, await the
scholar; and the teacher has always
at hand illustrious examples to hold up
for the emulation Of those who become
discouraged. Among the ancients, as
among the moderns, many who were
poor or stupid rose to eminence BY
sheer diligence and self-discipline.
The teacher tells Of So Chin, who,
being afflicted with drowsiness when at
his nightly studies, thrust needle
through his flesh so that pain might
keep him awake; and Of the restless
Sal Lin, whose active body revolted
against sitting at his books, and who
cured himself Of q constant disposition
to rise and leave them by placing pail
Of cold water where his feet would be
immersed in 1t whenever he stood up.
A warning is given in the career OF
the INSCRIPTIONS Pang KEN, who cut
off the ends Of the straws that his
teacher told him to arrange evenly
while the careful and honest Sung Pr
separated a similar bundle and laid
the straws straight, one by one, ant
found that they were all Of uniform
length without cutting. The character
thus manifested by the two showed
their teacher which Of his pupils would
best repay his efforts, and his judg
ment was justified by the event, fol
Pang Klein came to no good, while
Sung Pin won renown and wealth, ant
great honor came through him to bill

Hitting.

On the evening of the first Sunday
after their removal from their house
in the suburbs, which was the only
home the children had ever known, to
the top floor of seventh-story apart
ment house, the family gathered
around the piano for the usual hour
Of song, each member In turn, ac-
cording to time-honored custom, re-
questing hymn Of his choice. When
1O-year-old Mariory's turn came she
said: Il think the most appropriate
hymn is:
I'm nearer my heavenly home to-day
Than ever I've been before
