The New York Post finds noteworthy
indications of the intellectual awaken
ing of China in the statement of three
Bible societies. the British, Scotch. and
American, that their circulation of the
Scriptures in thai country i'm 1904 was
2,30S, l09 copies. The significance of this
is strengthened by the fact that the
output does not represent mere chari-
table work. but the demand of the
Chinese themselves. Of the more than
one million copies circulated by the
British and Foreign Bible Society. all
but 1878 were sold. Here we may also
note the remarkable development of
journalism in China. Shanghai, with a
population only about two-thirds as
great as Boston. has the same number
of daily newspapers-nine. four of
which are in the Chinese language.
Hongkong. just half as large, has 10
dailies. including six Chinese. In both
pltces there are large number of Chi
nese weeklics. Local newspapers are
being started all over the empire. and.
according to Consul Anderson of Annoy.
much of the anu-foreign agitation
which has caused so much trouble of
late is to be traced to such publica tions.
In addition to these are many Chinese
religious papers published by the mis-
sionary societies. which have large cir
citations and are forming an important
factor in the regeneration of the edu-
cational and social system OF the
nation. Most Of the foreign publica-
lions are in English. but there is a
French daily and a German weekly a,
shanghai. and a Portuguese weekly at
Hongkong.

The ship subsidy bill has passed the
Senate by comfortable majority, for
which the credit is largely due to the
tireless labors of Senator Frye of
Maine. If this bill becomes a law it
will be splendid thing for our foreign
shipping which has declined in recent
years almost to the vanishing point,
but whether it will run the gauntlet
Of the House in safety remains to be
seen.

Fate.

Two shall he born the whole wide world
apart,
And speak in different tongues and have
no thought
Each of the others being. and no heed;
And these DER unknown seas to unknown
lands,
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defyins
death;
And all unconsciously shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one
end
That one day out of darkness they shall
And read life's meaning in each others
eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way Of
life.
So nearly side by side that should one
turn
Ever so little space to left or right,
They needs must stand acknowledged
face to face;
And yet with wistful eyes that never
meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp, and
lips
Calling in vain to ears that never hear,
Tney seek each other all their weary
days,
And die unsatisfied. And this is Fate.

BUY BIG TRACT OF
QUINCY WHEAT LANDS

SPOKANE, Jan. 3.-Henry Flood,
of 904 Montgomery avenue and Harry
Flood, manager of the local branch of
the Prudential Insurance Company
have purchased nineteen and half
sections of raw Douglas county wheat
land, located abort twenty miles
south of Quincy, near the Columbia
river. John Bovee was the rarty
selling. The land was purchased at
an average of about S5 an acre. The
total acreage purchased consists of
10, 4s0 acres. making an approximate
total cost of $4,000. The purchase
was made through A. s. Burge of
this city and A. J. McPaek of Quinoy.
The land was secured with the in
tention of again placing it on the
mar Ket and disposing OF it in small
sections. A large tract, however, will
be broken for wheat this spring.
When cultivated, this land produces
excellent wheat, it is stated, and it is
probable that large part of the pur-
chase will be reserved for wheat
growing purposes.
