Habits of the London Coster.

London's outdoor man is the cos
ter. He is the Ishmael Of orr cutters,
says the Outing Magazine. A very
Jolly Ishmael, IT is true, who is more
than content 70 acknowledge the line
Of demarcation between himself and
the true cOckney. But, nevertheless,
in a modified, twentieth century way,
he is still the wild man whose hand
Is against every mans, and every
mans against his.
He is probably the last remnant Of
the worlds old race of wanderers
the last suggestion of the primitive
man-Ieft to the cities. He is to US
town dwellers what the gypsy is to
the countryside His descent seems
to spring from the same rowing
stock. And he is regarded from q
safe distance, with the same con-
tempt by those who don't know him.
His habits and his impulses still
SAVIOR strongly OF the days when
tribe warred against tribe, and every
mans arm was for himself and his
clan. And although his pitch is be-
low the curD, MS caravan q DarroWs
and his beast of burden a Russian
pony, a donkey or himself, he is as
free and exclusive as any other lusty
scion of the people who live under
the skies
Ishmael he is, and Ishmasl he
chooses to remain. And the chances
are ten to one that whoever goes q
fishing for information among the
barrows will come back with an
empty creel or a fine show Of fisher
mems tales. For your coster knows
both how to keep silence and how TO
use his tongue picturesQuely in de-
Tense Of his jealously guarded tradi-
tions and the internal economics Of
his existence.

How to Drive a Horse.

The manner of driving or riding
has a strong bearing on condition,
and we can see every day thousands
of examples to this effect on the
streets anywhere, says a writer in
Outing Magazine. Given two horses
having the same care, food, ETC.,
both physically able and performing
identical tasks, yet driven by two
different men-one is always fat,
composed, and tranquil; the other
nervous, agitated. anxious, and IN
consequence thin and out of condi-
ton.
What is the reason? Nothing but
the different handling Of SYM
pathy, of any horse sense or horse
mans instinct in the driver of the
latter. Why is the average livery
stable or riding school horse hag-
gard Of eye, anxious of countenance,
almost always thin and worn? Not
lack of food OF Overwork-just men
tai worry and the nervous Oyerstrain
Of trying to please a lot of thought
less people, most of whom wholly
lack horse sense and are proud Of it,
Do what you will in the way Of
care. ETC., the handling the horse re-
ceives has greatly to do with his
physical welfare. Perfect condition
is not mere matter of so much
food, so much water, a warm bed, a
tight roof. It depends, as does every
thing else in life and in our relations
with other men and all beasts, upon
the little things, the unconsidered
trifes-and lucky is he who has the
interest, the patience, the intuition
to investigate closely, to discern
clearly, and to apply intelligently,
countless ways, and in various assO-
Citations.

attempting to introduce Western
learning, and indeed the English
language, into these schools as rap
idly as possible.
An indication pointing to tho
growing influence of Japan In China
is found in the fact that Il, 900 Chi
nese students are now in Toxic striv-
ing to secure from the Government
institutions and private schools tho
Western learning. The Young Men'8
Christian Association in Shanghai
has seen the significance of this
movement, and has sent two Ameri-
can and three or four young Chinese
Christians to Toxic to keep in touch
with this group of Chinese students

turning from and going to Toxic

ture Yuan Shih Kais, Chang Chih-
tungs and WI Ting Fangs of China
one can readily see the influence
which the Japanese will acquire in
the Chinese Empire. At least 1000
or 5000 Of these young men would
/ have studied in the United States had
It not been for our harsh enforce
ment Of the exclusion law. It now
looks as If Japan will become the
schoolmaster of the Orient, as Ger
many has been the schoolmaster OF
/ Europe and America. But the United
! States may lead the race after It Is
out of school
} Another sign Of the times is the
increase of the postofhces and tho
increase of newspapers, especially
| along the eastern side Of the empire.
| The number is still pitifully small,
/ but the rate of increase is a Just
cause Of surprise and a striking IN
/ dication Of progress. In Tien-tsin
four years ago three newspapers
were published. To-day twenty-three
newspapers are published In that
! northern port. II is at least signifi-
cant that the only newspaper on
earth published by a woman and for
women is now published in Pekin.
Perhaps the most striking indics-
/ ton Of the Chinese desire for West
/ ern progress is found in the recent
imperial decree attempting to estab-
| lish the Christian Sabbath. The de-
cree makes the Sabbath day a legal
holiday. 1t is not probable that the
| decree will be largely followed
throughout China. as, indeed, it is
not probable that Chang Chih-tung's
decree in regard to the New Testa-
ment Will be largely observed. These
DEGREES. however, show the aspira-
tions Of the Chinese for Western civ
| ilizatiOn.

NeWspaners in Japan.

In Japan there were already in
1902 1928 newspapers, dailies and
others, the highest circulation reach
ing about a quarter of a million.
Among the lower classes one paper
is read by five or six persons.
A very few of the older people
cannot read, but all the younger gen.
GRAFTON can. The most eager interest
is taken, not only in stirring public
events, but IN administrative meas
ures, such as the very recent na-
tionalization Of the railways.
Every newspaper posts it's daily is

Renardina Ninht sir.

There is a great deal of nonsense
talked about the dangers. Of the
night air. AS a matter Of fact, what
air can We breathe at night but night
air2 and tthe choice is between the
pure night air from without and the
foul air from within. Most people
prefer the latter-an unaccountable
choice What will they say II It is
proved to be true that fully one-half
of all the diseases We suffer from are
occasioned by people sleeping with
their windows shut? An open vim
dow most nights in the year can
never hurt any one. In great cities
night air is often the best and purest
to be had in the twenty-four hours.
We could better understand shut
ting the windows IN town during the
day than during the night for the
sake of the sick. The absence Of
smoke, the quiet. all tend to make
night the best time for airing the pa
tient. One Of the highest medical au-
thorities on consumption and climate
has told Us that the air of London Is
never so good as after ten o'clock at
night. Always air your room, then,
from the outside air II possible. Win
dows are made to open, doors are
made TO shut-a truth which seems
difficult Of apprehension. Every room
must be aired from without, every
passage from within.

CHINA COMING TO THE 'FRONT.'.
Petrifled Nation Sees the Virtues of
Civilization.

The latest proof that China's face
Is set toward progress is found in the
imperial decree recently issued
promising a change of laws. While
this decree does not promise a con-
stttution, nevertheless it points IN
that direction, says the Pittsburg Ca
Zette.
A more vital indication Of pro-
gress is found in the recent imperial
decree making some mastery Of Wes-
tern learning a condition Of future
employment in the Government ser
vice. This decree does not affect ex-
lsting Office holders, and does not ap-
ply to candidates for ofnce who have
already completed the prescribed
course of Confucian learning and
have received the first and second
degrees.
But the significance Of the decree
found in the fact that It prescribes
the Identical condition for future
candidates for Office which the
young Emperor prescribed eight
years ago. and which led to the Box
er uprising. It is significant that the
DOwager Empress, who then retired
the young Emperor for his radical
ism, now Issues in his name the iden-
teal decree which produced the rev.
olution.
A still more striking sign than this
paper decree IS found in the fact that
Yuan Shih Kai, the leading Viceroy
of the empire, has already estab-
lished more than a thousand pri-
mary and secondary schools in the
Chill province in order to prepare
the young people of his province for
the new Government courses. He 10

march in procession after their food.

this caterpillar's hairs caused him
considerable suffering in the hands

But, says the Fortnightly Review,
the progress Of Roumania, II less

even than that Of Japan. To a small

or ignorance, the opportunities Of
progress were much less facils than
