A special appeal has been Issued to
Republican voters, urging them to
take an interest in the coming pri.

"It is of melancholy Significance,
says the appeal. "thnt this political
inertia in the District is confined to
the white people. The colored voters

"a Wisdom Of Experience.

There was no doubt In the minds of
the Hobart family that young James
had a remarkable gift. 1t remained
for an obscure uncle from the Cape
to drop word OF caution and of
worldly wisdom.
You say he's wonderful farseeing,
and can tell folk Just how things are
going to turn out?" he inquired.
"Yes. 1t seems So" said James
adoring mother. .
Well now, II you want him to be
the most unpopular man anywhere
round, you just let him foretell and
prophesy and forecast" remarked the
old uncle. grimly.
If you want him to keep a few
friends you must shunt him OF to
some other track. Let him work out
sums in his head. That's harmless
practice"
But why?" faltered the mother.
Just this" answered the authority
from down on the Cape. When he
prophesies thing'll go wrong and they
do go wrong, the heft OF the blams'l
be laid straight on his shoulders.
When he says they'll go right. and
they do. folks be too busy enjoying
Themselves to remember your James
And when he says they'll go wrong and
they go right. they'll call him a fool.

sS CHINESE LANGUAGE.
Difference Between the Written Char
acters and Speech.


aoters and Speech.
The dialects or languages Of the Chi
nese empire are very numerous and
dissimilar. Thus a Chinese speaking
the dialect Of the Kwangtung (Cantonl
province is not understood by a Chi
nese residing in the neighboring prov.
ince Of Fukien. The language or dia-
lect spoken at Shanghai would be quite
strange to the people residing at Pekin.
Written characters Of Chinese are,
however, understood and recognized
by sight throughout the whole empire
/ in the same manner as our Arabic nu-
merals 1, 2. 3. 4, etc, are recognized
by the eye throughout Europe. But as
these numerals when pronounced or
read have entirely different sounds at
tached to them in England. France,
Germany, Italy, etc, so the Chinese
written characters are spoken in to-
tally different words and sounds in
the several provinces Of China. with.
however, the important exception that
the mandarin language is spoken or
understood more or less throughout
three-fourths Of China or. roughly
speaking, in nearly all the provinces
north and west Of the river Yangtze.
The language known as Wen-li is the
medium by which the classical books
Of China have been handed down. II
is par excellence the written language
Of China. but 1t is not generally under.
stood by the great mass Of the people.
The spoken language-viz, Mandarin
may also be written. and there is a
good deal Of colloquial literature in
Mandarin. Versions Of the Bible I'm the
local patOis have also been produced in
several districts of the southeast
where the dialects are very numerous
and diverse.
In the Chinese written language
there are over 10000 distinct charac
ters or symbols, and this vast number
is being constantly increased by the
addition Of new characters to repre-
sent new scientific words and modern
ideas.
Although the Chinese are considered
a literary people and have naturally a
desire for education, yet owing to the
extreme difficulty Of mastering thC
Chinese characters It is estimated thai
only one in ten Of the population car
