HOW GOVefnmcnt QueifS ncpciiiOnS.
 .There is nothing that has done so much to make the army popular as the two or three rebellions which have been put down by the new troops within the past two years. The railroads have en- abled the soldiers to be quickly sent to the seat of trouble, and possible revolu- tions have been stamped out in their be- ginning There was one such rebellion on the western borders of Shantung about a year and a half ago. The government telegraphed the army commanders at Hankow, and. by the Hankow- Pekin railroad an effective force was soon on the ground. It was only a year ago that a rebellion was put down in Yunnan by the foreign trained troops, and last No vember a revolution which would have involved all China was nipped in the bud at Anking on the Yangtse. That was perhaps the most serious trouble that has faced the new China, but it was quelled by means of the telegraph and the army, backed by the governor who had nerve enough to use them. Indeed l think it safe to say that from now on China can control it's own people, that the beginning of a well organized empire has been made and that 1t will soon be well under way"
 How One Governor Saved China.
 Since my talk with this man have learned more about the rebellion at Ank- ing. It took place at the time of the deaths of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. and had 1t not been for the prompt action of the governor of Anhuf 1t would have involved China in civil war that might have been equal to the Taiping rebellion In which 10000 GOO were killed and whole provinces were ruined. It would have probably caused the killing of many of our missionaries. and would have put China far back on It's march

Points for the New curate.


 From Vanity Fair
 Dean Pigou gives a few "reminiscences of Doncaster, where at one time he was vicar Among the stories he tells is this. concerning one of his curates. He went to see an old woman with whom visiting had perhaps been overdone. She at once ac- costed him.
 ''So you are the new curate, arn't you?' Yes" he replied.
 Well, just you sit down on that 'ere chair" It was a three legged stool of most uncertain standing.
 Now I tell you what you does when you come to see me. You sits on that stool. You then read me, mind a short Psalm. Then you gives me a shilling. and then you can go"

chlna's Military Equipment.

Flow are the soldiers armed?"
 They have modern weapons, al- though not always of the latest pat tern. The regulations as to such things are issued at Pekin, but the arms are selected and paid for by the local gov ernors, and they are bought at the lowest rates. There is undoubtedly fraud in many of the purchases; but the government sends out its inspec- tors to examine the army equipment, and, on the wh ole, the weapons are ef- fective. Of those now in use, the most came from Germany, but many are from Japan. The Japanese guns are of the latest patterns, and of excellent make. As rule the Mauser rifle is used. It is intended that the arms and ammuni. tion shall eventually all be standardized.
 Does China use any American guns ?''
 ''I think not; I have seen none in the camps I have visited. Your arms are too costly"
