Would Reduce Term of Service.


Secretary Root has urged congress
to reduce to five years the term of
service of the young men engaged
as student interpreters in China and
Japan. Some years ago congress was
impelled to create this corps in order
to secure bright young men with q
knowledge of Chinese and Japanese
who would be available for diplomatic
or consular service in the orient.
Therefore, it undertook to pay them 8.
salary of $1,000 per annum, allowing
them for two years to devote their en-
tire time to the acquisition of the orr.
entail languages. Now, however, the
students are put to work at once in
the embassies or legations and are
not objects of charity. Secretary Root,
in his communication. says:
This solemn obligation to remain
in the government service for ten
years, possibly at salary of only
$1,000 per annum, is a very onerous
and serious one for a young man to
assume. There is no doubt that it
discourages and turns away many of
the most promising men who would
otherwise enter the service as student
interpreters, and in consequence
makes it difficult for the department
to fill these positions with young men
of the best material for future ell
cient officers

FLOCK TO WOMAN WHO :
USES POWER FOR OTHERS
Woman Who Heals by Hypnotism Is Kept Busy-Drnk VIC
tim Among the Number

When Mrs. j. ]. Higgins, philan-
thropic hypnotic healer had con-
cluded her clinic at the parish house
of Calvary Protestant Episcopal
church. No. 106 East Twenty-second
street. New York, mechanic was
called to conduct a special clinic on
the door bell.
Edward, a negro doorman, attested
solenEly that Eat least four hundred
people had rung that bell within four
hours. each seeking treatment under
the hands of the frail young woman
who has devoted her mesmeric gifts
to charitably treating persons, seek
ing to relieve human suffering.
Out OF the hundreds who sought
treatment Mrs. Higgins was able to
treat but thirty-six patients. AT the
conclusion of the clinic, which lasted
almost four hours, she had. suffered
such exhaustion that a long rest was
necessary.
Such collection of human types as
sought relief from the mesmerlc heal.
er seldom has been seen about Cal
vary church. Again and again a
line numbering from thirty to forty
men and women wound it's length
down the steps and along the side
walk. seeking entrance to the parish
house. There were old and young in
the throng, some in rags and others
il furs, but the women were. in the
majority by ratio of five to one.
One aged woman, attended by her
daughter, had come from Philadel-
phia. only to arrive too late to re-
ceive treatment. Another, supported
by a son and daughter, had jour-
neyed from Newark, and many ar
rived from Hoboken. It was in short.
a gathering of the lame and the halt
who suffered from nervous diseases.
Suffering From Cancer.
Edward was the first to stem this
queue.
y must see Mrs. Higgins" said one
aged woman, whose tattered cloak
spoke poverty.
And what is your illness?" asked
the doorman.
I'm suffering from cancer, AID no
one has been able to help me, but l
know Mrs. Higgins can; l must see
her." and the woman burst into tears
as she was turned away with the as
.surance that the healer could help
only those who suffered from nervous
disorders.

YEARS WORK IN A NIGHT.
One College Man Who Proved the
Worthlessness of Examinations.

one college Man who PROVED tne
Worthlessness Of Examinations.
Some college professors insist that
the examination system is a failure,
and they can cite instances which they
believe bear out their side of the case.
One of these faculty men, a recent
graduate from a large university,
said:
when I was in college there was
man Of great capacity who mad neg
lected one course from his freshman
year when he got condition. When
it came down to his senior year he
had to make it up, but he let It go
until the very last set of eXamina-
tions. Then he had to get it OFF or
lose his degree.
This man knew so little of Ger
man. the course in which he was de-
ficient, that he could not even read
the printed words with ease, let alone
understand them. But he passed the
examination.
''He went to man in his class who
was proficient in German armed with
sets of examination papers in that
course for about six years back. They
picked out the recurrent questions
until finally they saw that there were
enough which were included in the
various papers of each year to insure
passing percentage.
'sThis man, who, as said, was Of
great capacity, then proceeded to
memorize a correct answer to each of
these questions. He had a keyword
for each question, so that he would
recognize it, even if it were not word
ed exactly as the one OH a previous
paper.
with this sort of work, which took
him about all night, he went into the
examination and passed off years
work triumphantly."

Great Marching by French Soldiers.

Great Marching by French Soldiers.
The writer of military notes in the
London Pail Mall Gazette draws at
tention to the remarkable forced
march by Gen. d'Amade's troops from
Casa Blanca to Settat. They covered
48 miles in rs hours on roads which
are merely camel tracks. If the in
fantry marched at three miles an hour
they must have done 16 hours actual
walking. Moreover, they arrived in
such good condition that they i'm
mediately fought a successful en-
gagement with the mahalla of Mulal
Rachid. The roads from Casa Blanca
and Rabat have thus been cleared
as far as Settat, for they converge a
little way north of that place. The
French infantryman is beyond doubt
wonderful marcher; he carries so
much that he is more independent of
transport than the soldier Of any 9TH
or European army, and observers have
noticed that he marches rather better
at the end of long march than at the
beginning. Good marching is priced
tradition with the French, and each
regiment tries to eclipse the records
Of other regiments-a valuable rival

Mrs. Higgins continued, altering her

Again she stepped quickly before

back and forth before his eyes, just
