Chinese Girls Are Slaves,

A native writer in Chinese publ
cation remarks: when girl Is sold
in China she becomes the slave of her
owner and part Of his property. She
no longer retains her free born rights,
but surrenders them all to the will Of
those who own her. She receives no
compensation for her labor. but Is
obliged to accept such ralment and food
as her owners may be pleased to give
her. In cases of tyranny or gross cruel,
ty she cannot appeal for redress. She
may be resold, given away or cast OF
In the streets at the arbitrary will OF
her master. All freedom is denied her
and she remains tool and chattel IN
the hands Of her owner until she Is
sold again or until death releases her
from her unwilling fate"

mountain wonder, the Jungfrau, Is OBJ

After Munich the traveller usually
takes in Switzerland by way Of Zu-
rich, reaching Uetliberg. where there
is big tourist hotel. In the morning
there Is a climb for breakfast to the
restaurant at the Uto-Kuhn, beneath u
big marble obelisk. The view from
here shows the lake Of Zurich and y
zigzag horizon line from the snow-clad
Sentis to the distant Jungfrau, one
peak after another revealing itself IN
splendor. Far on the southwest, be-
yond the hidden lake of Thru, curves
the bell shaped top of Stockholm, with
the long crest of the Rigl in the fore
ground, and the rugged mass of Pila-
tus almost isolated from the surround
ing heights. On the west the Jura
sperads to the great spurs near Aaran.
The Vosges peaks beyond are cloaked In
mist. Northward is the Black Forest,
near a cluster of volcanic peaks.
1t Is sight to remember always !;
mountain peaks and mountain hollows,
labyrinths of valleys; dazzling whites,
soft pinks, and puppies, the silvery
sheen of snow in masses, and Of clouds
above that seem to be all filled with
shining light. Below the line where
wilderness ends are greens-light, dark,
gray, yellowish greens-as the mist
floating up from the valleys partially
hides the hills, or the sun pouring
down from above discloses their YES
ture. The Alpine fever has the trav-
eler in its clutches; he wants to climb
among these mountains, to know them,
to subdue them.
All tourists visit Tug, the little capt.
tai of Switzerland, and the Lake o.
Tug, which Is blue lake, most of the
other lakes being green. There is much
that Is interesting on every hand.
There are strong buildings, fine apple
orchards, handsome schools, condensed

The lament ever comes up
anew. The boys are leaving the
farm, and why should they not
if they have the energy and in
te}igence and the education TO
struggle with the problems, and
to avoid the false allWements of
city life? They doubtless have
the physical endowment
strong constitution, and muscles
INJURED to labor; but it is not TO
be expected that bone and sinew
and muscle will enable them to
win the race to fortune unless
they have the active brain and
strong mind that will enable them
to overcome obstacles. So, also,
these essentials are necessary to
enable boy to draw the wealth
from the soil. If he does not
succeed in making his mark as a
merchant or manufacturer in the
city, he becomes a slave to the
city grind, and with his first gray
hairs is no longer eligible, with
impaired health, to make more
than a pittance. If he stays on
the farm, he may be equally a
failure, but it is not likely; and
in this day Of improved machin-
cry and implements, farm labor
is not so exhausting as it once
was, and there are few farmers
that do not live better than their
city brothers of the same grade.
1t is calculated that where one
boy in 10000 who leaves the
farm for the city, acquires a
large fortune, only about one in
1000 gains a competency, while
the vast majority live from
hand to mouth" or sink into alb
ject poverty. Success in any
line depends on health and push
and the ability to grasp the OPP

thing for a boy to have. Elk.
