The Wooing Of Katherine HolIings-
worth by GEORGE Robinson.

Valentine Hollingsworth accompanied
William Penn in the good ship Wei
come and settled in Delaware upon the
banks of the Brandywine Katherine,
his daughter, "a delectable Quaker
maiden the pride of the little settle
ment was wooed and won by big
George Robinson, But George was of
the Church of England, and katherine
'must be married in meeting"
George" writes the author Of Heir
looms In Miniature" was willing to
join the society, be Friend and be
married in meeting or anywhere else
that Katherine said Accordingly he
and Katherine made their first declara-
ton fifth day, first month, 1GSS."
The elders, however, had 'scruples,"
seeing that Georges conversion was
very sudden, and they asked him this
searching question::
"Friend Robinson, dost thou join the
Society of Friends from conviction or
for the love of Katherine Hollings-
wOrth?"
George hesitated. He priced the truth
and he did wish to marry Katherine.
So he answered.:
~ wish to join the society for the
love of Katherine Holingsworth."
The Friends counseled delay and
that Friend Robinson should be per-
suasively and instructively dealt with"
Shrewd men as they were, they allow
ed Katherine to deal with him, and
within year George Joined the socie-
ty as a true convert
An old manuscript reads, HE and
Katherine were permitted to begin a
long and happy married life together,
being for many years an example or
plety and goodness to those around
them and retaining their love of truth
and loyalty to the society TO the last"

They Didn't Know Paper.

Scholars have wondered why 1t was
that the ancient Roman genius never
achieved the art of printing. The Sc
cret of the failure lies probably in the
fact that the Romans never discovered
how to make paper, for recent investi-
cations prove that they had in general

THE AWAKENING OF CHINA.

Consul j. w. Ragsdale of Tientsin
furnishes the following interesting
news from Chinese newspapers as
showing the modern development of
China:
The president of the Tu-Chih Pu
(hoard of finance) has obtained per-
mission to spend 100000 taels (tael,
so cents) for the establishment of a
government paper mill at Tung-Chou
and a printing office at Ching-ho, in
the west of Pekin. Toatais Chenk,
Ching-tae and Liu Shih-Kien have
been appointed directors of these two
establishments, with full powers to
engage foreign experts, purchase ma
chinery and do all other matters with
view to enabling them to perform
their duties without hindrance or in
reference.
Taotais Cheng was educated in the
United States and was one of the 32
successful candidates who passed an
examination before his excellency
Tang Shaoyi, in Pekin, obtaining the
Chin Shih literary degree for economi-
cal subjects.
The retiring General of Kirin, Cen
trail Nanchuria, has memorialized the
throne in regard to the establishment
of a foreign language school at Kirin
for training Chinese students to learn
foreign languages and literature for
government appointment in future.
The proposed school is to be divid-
ed into five classes, namely, English,
French, German, Russian and Japan
ece, while the number of students for
each class is to be limited to 90 men,
who are between IS and 25 years of
age ard descendants of respectable
families. The teachers are to be en-
gagged from the five countries named,
through the medium of the Chinese
ministers at London, Paris, Berlin,
st. Petersburg and Toxic, respective
ly, after imperial sanction has been
received by the memorialists.
The annual expenditure for the
| maintenance of this school Is to be
| $4,000 taels.
In view OF the good success of the
Tiensin Chih-tze Chu, or self-govern-
ment office, in this city, established
by viveroy Yuan Shih-kai in the win
ter of 1906, for the purpose of maxi
| ing preparations towards the intro
duction Of the promised constitutions
al government has issued instructions
to the governor of Shun-tlen, advising
him to lose no time in establishing
similar offices in the various districts
under his Jurisdiction, after the meth
DDS OF Vceroy Yuan here.
Thus Governor Eel Wei-Yen has
dispatched an official to Tientsin to

DEAD, AND COULD NOT.

A year or so ago an American stu
dent in Berlin was attending a lecture
in a room drowsily close through lack
of ventilation. To keep awake he be-
gan whispering to a German at his
side the story of Mark Twain about the
man who lived all his life in a chron-
ic fear of fresh air. The relatives Of
this man. as is well known. decided
after his death to have his remains
cremated, and the climax of the story
occurs when the undertaken opening
the door Of the oven to see whether
incineration was complete, was ap-
palled to hear the corpse speak out
and request him to close the door and
shut off the draft.
