Tho Chinese stand Alone.

That awakening OF China" about
which so much has been written is de.
elared by London Times correspond
emit to be a strictly self defense and
self rule movement. Japan and the
western foreigner are not in 1t nor be-
hind 1t. To quote:
"chlna for the Chinese is a cry which
becomes daily more inslstent and may
have far reaching and Unforeseen results
The Chinese have always desplsed Euro
peana. though hitherto forced to fear them
and now that schools and newspapers are
universal increased knowledge only rem
ders them more arrogant The Boxer trou-
bles. Russia's aggressions and the triumph
of Japan all contributed to make the orr
ganizatlon Of their army more and more
imperative. and IL has shared in the prog
ress In all directions which has been 90
marked during the last 1--WE years. wheth-
er the reform or the reactlonary party
be in power at court. this well drilled,
wei disciplined army now remains as a
permanent model and nucleus for other
provincial army corps and a source of ma
tional pride and patriotism.
The writer thinks that this model"
army which originated In the province
OF Chill will be duplicated In each of
tho twenty provinces of the empire.
The result win be a natural army OF
patriots, not swarm OF professionals.
To quote further;
Travel whore you win throughout China
everywhere In all the towns--are num-
bers OF scholars dressed in uniform or
semi European clothing. each one imbued
with patriotism and a determination to
tree China from foreign aggressors
have myself seen the gods turned out Of
the temples, to be stored In the cellars
beneath; their affairs dressed with aliases
and globes, books and blackboards; their
halls Allied with classes hard at work ac-
curing western knowledge.
This movement Is OF course Indirectly
due to European teaching, but the imme-
date initiative has been purely Chinese.
Think what this meansl In another ten.
fifteen years these boys will be grown
men. In many cases directing the AFFAIRS
OF the nation while during all this time
the system which produced them win
have been widening, and more and more
will its ideas have permeatcd the Chinese
people. The result win be a China with q
sense OF patriotism and a certain homo
geneity at present very much lacking.
Those qualities win entail a complete re-
adjustment OF the relations between China
and the foreign powers. win prevent fur
ther aggression and thus help to main
tain the balance OF power and the peace
OF the world generally,
The correspondent adds that It WIN
be a long time before China viii at |
tempt to dispense wholly with the Eu-
ropean as a business partner, guide |
and instructor But every year from |
this time ON win lessen the hold OF the |
foreigner. China may not be aggres-
slve, but she win be self protective,
able AZ well as determined to stand
alone.

pins. They are not much bigger when
Matched than mans thumb nail and
are as soft as dough. They crawl
around pretty lively and begin to hunt
for their food, consisting of small fish,
crabs, etc. The first summer they are
quite small, and about the first to the
middle Of November they go into their
winter quarters. These consist of
some soft mudhole In the marsh or
on the bottom of some stream. Here
they sleep until about the middle of
April or later. when they come out and

for the Manchester Guardian: 1T was
a sad and strong face that we saw,
one might almost have said a grim
face, but that there was nothing of
hardness in 1t. face which must have
inspired both respect and affection In
all who met him, Yet as the little,
old looking man stood there in the red

about his appearance. the head, en-.
eircled with long. straight. white hair,
appearing above the still sitter,

which descended to the ground In the

or one visitor. who remarked that they
made him look just like a penwiper,

sold at public auction This order Of
the court prevents breweries ana

MANY people Of this city feared the
closing Of the saloons would ruin our
