The Elbert County tribune., 1906-10-04

On the dowager empress being in
formed the other day that the decree
relating to bound feet was having no
influence among the provincial au-
thorities. another decree was issued
saying that in the future no men will
be taken into the employment of the
Chinese empire whose wives or daugh-
ters have their feet bound.
A more striking indication of the
adoption of not only western civiliza-
tion, but of Christianity, is found in
the decree just issued by Chang Chih-
tung ordering the New Testament to
be introduced into all the schools of
the Hupeh and Human provinces. over
which he rules. These provinces
have 5S.000.000 population.
Perhaps the most striking indication
of the Chinese desire for western prog
ress is found in the recent imperial
decree attempting to establish the
Christian Sabbath. The decree makes
Sunday legal holiday 1t is not prob
able that the decree will be largely fol
lowed throughout China, as. indeed. 1t
Is not probable that Chang Chih-tung' S
decree in regard to the New Testa-
ment viii be largely observed. These
DEGREES. howver show the aspirations
of the Chinese for western civilization.

WHO PAID FOR THE DRlNksr
Endless Chain Operated by Thirsty
Men on the Mexican Border.

Now. here is the best yarn OF the
lot and a good puzzle for the Sunday
papers to print" said the man with
the alkalI in his whiskers, when he
had settled down in the hotel lobby
after a long day on the rubberneck
wagon.
Several years ago American silver
coin in Mexico was on the same basis
as Mexican silver was at that time and
still is In the sta,es; 1t passed at half
Its face value. Drinks in El Paso and
In Juarez. the Mexican town across
cents. as you fasteners would say.
I'm thos, palmy days a citizen Of
FL Paso could go into a drinking en-
porium and buy drink. paying for 1t
with an American q iarter. The bar
tender would hand him back a MexI-
can quarter, which was, of course.
worth 12h cents In Texas.
"Then with this Mexican quarter In
his hand the citizen could cross the
bridge to Juarez and there buy an
other drink. laying his Mexican quar-
ter on the bar
'If the Greaser barkeep should give
him in change an American qua.-ter
worth 12h cents In Mexico the joyous
citizen could return to Uncle Sans
back yard and repeat the process.
Now. the question is: Who paid
for those drinks2"-N. Y. Sun.

StuttertnQ.

or the etiology of suffering we
know nothing definite. Direct Inherit
ance is rare. and possibly imitation Is
'he chief factor when father and son
are affected. There is usually well
marked neurotic inheritance. others in
the family having various forms of
nervous complaints. But ! have not
been able to confirm Charcot's state
ment that suffering and ordinary IA
cial paralysis frequently occur in the
same family. Shocks. frights and de-
bility after some acute illness are the
causes to which the onset Is most
frequently attributed by parents. I'M
itation is undoubtedly an occasional
cause. children having often been
known to start the habit when put in
charge of a suffering nursemaid. A
friend of mine, who was extremely
fond OF horses and was hardly to be
kept out Of the stables. acquired a
most obstinate stutter from the groom.
Adenold vegetations are often met
with and are important as predispos-
ing cause. since they tend to prevent
the proper filling OF the chest with
mir. When present they should be re-
moved as a preliminary measure. al
though 1t must not be expected that
their removal will lead to prompt
cessation of the stutter.-Lancet.

EARNEST EFFORTS TO RAISE
PLANE OF ORIENTAL EMPIRE.
English Language Coming Into Use
and Modern Schools Being Estab-
lished-Empress Joining in
CiviIizlng Movement.

Shanghai, China.-No nation on
earth has made more progress in the
last five years than China. Even ia
pan, which has sprung to the rank of
a world power from the seclusion Of
an oriental despotism. is not excepted
by the high authority who makes this
statement.
He admits that China has not made
such advance in iron and coal produc-
tion as has the United States but he
contends that China has made wider
and more profound change in its whole
attitude toward western civilization
than has any other nation.
The latest proof that China's face
is set toward progress is found in the
imperial decree. issued last month,
promising a change of laws. While
this decree does not promise a con-
stitution. as careless readers have In
ferred. nevertheless, it points in that
direction.
A more vital indication of prGgress
is found in the recent imperial decree
making some mastery of western
learning a condition of future employ
ment in the government service. This
decree does not affect existing office
holders, and does not apply to candi-
dates for office who have already COM
pleted the prescribed course of Con-
fucian learning and have received the
first and second degrees.
But the significance of the decree is
found in the fact that it prescribes the
Identical condition for future candi-
dates for office which the young en-
peror prescribed eight years ago, and
which led to the boxer uprising 1t is
significant that the dowager empress,
who then retired the young emperor
for his radicalism. now issues in his
name the identical decree which pro-
duced the revolution.
A still more striking sign that this
decree is found in the fact that
Yuan Shih Raj, the leading Viceroy OF
the empire, has already established
more than 5000 primary and Sec
ondary schools in the Chill province
in order to prepare the young people
of his province for the new govern
ment courses. He is attempting to In
troduce western learning. and. indeed,
the English language into these
schools as rapidly as possible.
This creates strong demand Tor

low to justify young people coming
