CHINA TO KEEP OLD CUSTOM.
Officials ReTuse to Countenance the
Spread Of Western Ideas.

Shanghai correspondent of a Ger
man paper writes: The custom
Of arranging matrimonial contracts
through agents or matchmakers has
hccn practiccd in China for ages The
business receives support from all
classes. for although the high-caste
men in some instances select their
hrSt wives themselves, the additional
wives arc all secured through the
agents.
This being so, it was only natural
that a recently distributed proclama.
ton. written by an unknown person
urging the women to rebel against the
ola established custom, should have
created more than a little excitement
Inc officials ordered the immediate
destruction of the handbills on which
the revolutionary screed was printed
ana the arrest Of those who took part
in their distribution.
The empress dowager directs that
further efforts in that direction should
be punished severely, and we know
what that leans. She said that from
what she had heard the French mar.
riaSes were for the most part happy
and that these were usually arranged
by the parents"

DR.. J. Walter Fewkes, an investiga

origin Of the first Inhabitants of the
Island Of Porto Rico, now reports his
conclusion that the West Indies were

cans to Porto Rico, and not from W.

by the scientists who accept the the
Dry OF a prehistoric island extending
almost across the Atlantic Ocean from

oled Atlantis, now supposed to have

accounting for the ruins of Egyptian
pyramids ard architecture in Yucatan.

Dry by asserting that the ridge of the
