 The game started. By straining our eyes through the deep gloom some thirty energetic young men. very lightly clad. splashing about in all di- rections and kicking in all sorts of aimless directions Mir. Peasley said it was a mighty poor excuse for football. No one was knocked out; there was no bucking the line; there didn't even seem to be doctor in evidence. We could not follow the fine points of the contest. Evidently some good plays were being made. for occasionally a low. growing sound-a concrete mur- mur-would arise from the multitude banked along the side lines.

Few are the women able to resist the charm of beautiful lace. whether mod ern or antique, and at an exhibition or both which took place in London some time ago there were many specimens which aroused admiration. The modern section contained lovely examples or lace scarfs, fichus, fans. the latter or which are at the present moment so much in favor for wedding gifts, and there were some delightfully."- quaint little lace capes for small children to which many a mother last her heart Of the beautiful lace in her possession Princess Henry of Battenberg sent several lovely specimens, as did also the Princess of Wales, whose superb lace is not often seen. Another well known lace lover contributed several pieces of historic interest, notably robe in point dAlencon worn by Marie Antoinette. and another in the same lace owned at one time by the Empress Josephine. fichu which formerly graced the person of the beautiful Miss Cunning was also on view. and the whole collection proved of absorbing interest to many. Not the least notable was the lace robe made for the little son of Napoleon |. which bears in the design the cipher "A. and C." and the emblem of the Order of the Golden Fleece

 On every hand one sees signs of in tellectual development. As stated in another article, the private school was lor centuries the only source from which instruction in books could be gained. Now a complete system or schools is being established, consisting of primary middle and high schools, with colleges in the larger cities. Vice. roy Yuan Shin Kai who presides over the district in which Picking Is situat- ed and whom, through the courtesy of Minister Rockhill, I had an opportuni- ty to meet, informed me that he had established 5000 schools within his Jurisdiction within the past four years. The viceroy is the successor of Li Hung Chang and is considered the most influential man in the Empire. He is about 4s years old and impresses enc as a man of great mental vigor and aiertness. He seems to take a deep interest in the reforms now being worked out and is cordial in his treat ment of Americans.

What is the meaning of that sound they are making?" asked Mir. Peasley, turning to the native standing along side of him.
 'Thsy are cheering" was the reply.
 They are what?"
 '~They are cheering"
 Cheering"
 Great Scott! Do you call that cheer ing? At home, when we want to en- courage the boys, we get up on our hind legs and make a noise that you can hear in the next township. We put cracks in the azure dome. Cheer ing! Why, a game of croquet in the court house yard is eight times as thrilling as this thing. Look at those fellows juggling the ball with their feet Why doesn't somebody pick it ur and butt through the crowd and start little rough work?"
 The native gave MT. Peasley one hopeless look and moved away.
 Soon after we saw large section of the crowd moving over toward a booth at one end of the grounds. MT. Peasley hurried after them. thinking that possibly some one had started a fight on the side and that his love of excitement might be gratified after all. Presently he returned in state of deep disgust.
 Do you know why all those folks are focking over there?" he asked. Coin after their tea. Tea! Turnin' their backs on a football game to go and get a cup of tea! Why. that tea thing over there Is worse than the opi- um habit Do you know, when the final judgment day comes and Gabriel blows his horn and all of humanity Is bunch ed up, waitin' for the sheep to be cut out from the goats and put into sep arate corral. some Englishman will look at his watch and discover that it's five o'clock and then tho whole British nation will turn its back on the proceedings and go off lookin' for tea"
 After we had stood in the rain for about an hour some one told MT. Peas ley that one team or the other had won by three goals to nothing, and we fol- lowed the moist throng out through the big gates.
 Come with me-" said Mir. Peasley. and I will take you to the only dry place in London"
 So we descended to tho "tuppenny tube"

Consul General Rodgers of Shanghai happened to be in Nagasaki during our visit there, and we paid our respects to Viceroy Chou Flu. This viceroy IS quite old and feeble. but he is grap- bling with the new problems and IS q patron of education. He has estab- lished 1000 schools during the last few Chinese students in Japan al this time at 5000.
 At Shanghai there is a government university, the building of which cost $2f0,000. We learned that in some places Buddhist temples were being converted into schools; that girls schools are already being provided for. This Is an even greater evidence of progress than the opening of schools for boys, because of the inferior posi- tion which woman has occupied in the Celestial Empire.
 Besides the government schools. there are numerous missionary schools in which instruction is given to both boys and girls. We visited some of these schools at Peking, Ranking and Shanghai, and found the instructors encouraged by the attendance and the interest taken. A number of Ameri- cans, and a still larger number of Jap enese. are teaching in the government schools.
 But enough has been said to indicate the regeneration through which the Flowery Kingdom is passing. What will be the effect of the change upon the world? Who is wise enough to peer into the future and outline the record of the next century? Japan fur nishes the nearest parallel. Compare the Japan of fifty years ago with the Japan of today and some conception can be formed of China fifty years hence As Japan's commerce increas- ed. so is China's commerce increasing; as Japan sent statemen abroad to in- vestigate the methods of other govern ments, so China is now sending inquir CTS abroad; as Japan turned her atten- tion to schools and colleges. so China is learning the advantage of universal education: as Japanese students jour neyeo into distant lands in search of knowledge, so Chinese students are in increasing numbers studying in for eign colleges. Even in the enlarge ment and training of her army she Is patterning after Japan and employing Japanese drill masters.
 It need not be thought strange that there is an anti-foreign sentiment in China. Was there not an anti-foreign sentiment in Japan forty years ago? The Shimoneski affair was not unlike the Boxer trouble. except that it was less fatal to life, but it exerted a large influence in the overthrow of the Shc- gun and in the restoration of the Elm . peror. Just as in Japan the old finally gave way to the new and progress took the place of stagnation, so in China the old must give way to the new.
 Advance Is inevitable and the world need not fear the result. If China were strong enough to give effect to the hostility which some of her people now feel she might be menace to the peace of tho world. but she cannot grow in strength faster than she grows in knowledge, and as she grows in knowledge she will learn. as other nations have learned, that nations help rather than injure each other by the material, intellectual and moral devel- opment of their people.

r T isn't alone the danger of going ashore al
Hatteras that makes the sea voyage so
& perilous off that point.
The cape itself Is a rather harmless proJec-
tion of sandy shore that butts boldly out from
the coast line, but from that point the bars OF
deadly Diamond Shoals reach out eighteen
miles into the Atlantic.
In rough weather the lamps of the light
ship stationed there are not always discCrnible

finds his ship laundering on a lump that Juts

with many victims during recent years. In the
fiscal year-the period of reports by life-saving
stations-ending with June, 1905. there
nineteen disasters Two lives were lost and nine
ty-eight persons were helped at the station.
How many others went down with ships not
by the life-savers No one will evnr knew.
Thirty-two wrecks, two lives lost and eighty
one persons helped by the life-savers marked the
previous years record.
In 1903 there were thirty-one wrecks, eleven
lives were known to be lost and 512 persons were
assisted to safety by the coast guard. There
were no drownings in 1902. but twenty-eight
wrecks comprised the toll of Hatteras, and
ninety-six, persons were rescued by the life-saV-
ing crews.
Three were drowned as result of the
twenty-seven wrecks of 1901 and s. sixty-nine per-
sons were rescued.
During 1900 there were fortv-two known
wrecks in the hfe-saving district that embraces
Cape Hatteras, resulting in thirty-fye deaths
None of the other life-saying districts OF the
entire country reported mere than four drown

Olsen remained floating on these plank5 tor
