RULES FOR JAP CHILDREN.
They Are Taught in Their Schools
How to Treat Foreigners.

They Are Taught in Their Schools
How to Treat Foreigners.
An English newspaper, published
in Japan, printed at one time an in.
teresting synopsis of the rules which
the public schools of that country
were teaching their pupils on the sub.
ject of the treatment of foreigners.
This synopsis is reprinted in re.
cent book, The Empire of ne East,
by H. P. Montgomery, and is ac-
companied by some interesting facts
concerning the schools of Japan, says
the New York Sun. The rules are as
/ follows:
Never call after foreigners passing
along the streets or roads.
When foreigners make inquiries
answer them politely. If unable to
make them understood inform the po-
lice of the fact.
Never accept a present from for
eigne. when there is no reason for
his giving it, aud never charge him
anything above what is proper.
Do not crowd around a shop when
foreigner is making purchases,
thereby causing him much annoyance,
The continuance Of this practice dis.
graces us as a nation.
Since all h,man beings are brothers
and sisters, there is no reason for
fearing foreigners. Treat them as
equals and act uprightly In all your
dealings with them. Be neither ser.
vile nor arrogant
Beware of combining against the
+ foreigner and dlsliking him because
he is foreigner men are to be
/ Judged by their conduct and not by
their nationality,
As intercourse with foreigners be
comes closer and extends over a
series Of years there is danger that
many japanese become enamored OF
their ways ara customs and forsake
the good old customs of their forefa
Tiers. Against this danger you
must be on your guard
Taking OF your hat is the proper
way to salute a foreigner. Tn bend
/ ing Of the body low is not TO be com
! me nded.
( Hold in high regard the worship Of
/ ancestors and treat your relations
with warm cordiality, but do not re
gard n person as your enemy because
( he or she is a christian.
T Beware OF selling your souls to FOR
felgners and becoming their slaves
! cel them no houses or lands
Aim at not being beaten IN your
i competition with foreigners. Remera,
Der that Loyalty and final piety are
our most precious treasures. and do
nothing to violate them.

SO DECLARES CHINESE AM8AsSA.
DOR AT A POPULAR MEET
ING IN NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 11.-Wu Tig
Fang, Chinese ambassador to the
United States. was the principal
speaker at popular meeting last
evening in the interest of the PresN-
terrain Chinese mission at the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church. Tie
keynote Of the twentieth century
whether in the oriental or in the ocei
dental world, is service, said he
at the outset, and he added
There is widespread eagernesi
and willingness to help and serve
ones fellow men, although they MAY
be only strangers within our gates. :
man is often only the victim Of cir
cumstances and environments. Place
him in good and moral surroundings
and he becomes a good man; the con
trary, and he becomes vicious. Prac
tical moralists realize this, and we
see institutions around Us established
with this principle in view. A for
eigner is placed in an unusually diff
cult position to remain good. Re
moved from familiar surroundings
parted from all friends and relatives
held dear, unknown and unrecognized
and unaffected by public opinion or
the good opinion of ones neighbors
the temptation to lead an erraeic life
is very great
The endeayors of the good people
in this city to provide a healthy at
mosphere for my people especially
the younger generation, is deserving
of all assistance and endorsement. +

the charge of Mr. and Mrs HUE Kin

You have practically carried out the
saying of Confucius that in teaching
there should be no distinction OF
classes or races. All are entitled to
the best that we can give them, NOR

am gratified 10 find that this mission
has established a school for the edu-
cation of my countrymen. Any edu
cational institution established for
the purpose of giving instruction and
enlightening the minds Of people and
elevating their character, is worthy of
our support and take 1t that this
mission has such aims, which I hope
VIII do good for nv countrymen and
do good for the city
Il hold that any religion is good as
long as it is based on virtue and its
aim is to teach people to practice vir
tue and morality When men are
engaged in educational work whose
object is TO improve and elevate the
morals OF the people. whether it il
done by Catholics. protestants, Jews
Confucionists Buddhists, or any other
religionists, all sensible men, ire
spective of their creed in my hrinble
opinion should give it their support.

Elemental Gambling in india.

Madras Mail-A new phase of the
gambling instinct is in vogue among
the lower classes. 4 tells B that he
will break nut with so many
thumps; and if B takes up the bet
aGd A succeeds B must give nut or
six pies. II A fails he gives the nut
to B. If B thinks that he can break
the nut with a less number of
thumps he tells A so: and it Is then
for A to accept the bet or to bid "a
lower number. Another form of bet
ting is TO put three nuts in a row and
to break all those with one toss Of

CITY EMPLOYEES WON'T WORK.
And Municipal Lighting Plant Be
comes a Failure.

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Chieago's munic-
ipally owned and operated electric
street lighting system is practically a
financial failure, according. TO a report
made TO Mayor Busse by Bion j
Arnold, city engineer, and Auditor
Arthur Young. The report indicates
that the city would save from 100000
to $500 600 a year by abandoning the
manufacture of electricity and pur
chasing current entirely frOll the san
itary district or from private com
panies.
The mayor made the report public
and will transmit il to the city coun-
Gil for such action as the aldermen
may deem necessary.
The report shows that the taxpay
ers have sunk S3.6s9.O51 in the plant
and equipment. which now have q
nook value of s2,603, IA or an actual
value Of S2.S53,S6s. It cost the city

waited letting his hands wander
idly about among the strings. 1t was
sweet to feel already so entirely at

Francesca returned bearing a big
tumbler of st. Claimed, which she
set down upon Dante's Paradise -
