system of modern education. That
commission brought I'm report In nine
volumes with recommendations for
complete system of schools from the kin
dergarten to the university and post
graduate school, and curriculums for all
of them. This system was put into prac-
teal wording order as fast as conditions
would permit, and at this time IL Is es-
timated that there are probably 100000
pupils enrolled under it. Naturally one
of the greatest obstacles to the rapid ex-
tension of the new school system was
the lack Of trained teachers. Some 5000
young men were studying in Japan at
one time to fit themselves for carrying
on the work in China. Some were study
ing in Europe. few in the United States,
and the old schools of China were turn
ing out teachers-notably the school in
Peking and the other one in Tientsin.
The missionary schools In China were
also doing their share in aiding in this
work.

SOME MORE ENGLISH WIT.

The publication known as the Lon.

gentleman. as we'll as every cowboy, In
the United States carries q revolver,
and to this fact II attributes the nu.

ing out Of the relation of the sexes
1t Is to be doubted II there are rela.
lively more murders of that kind In
this country than In other civilized
countries; but It Is undoubtedly true
that the carrying Of deadly weapons
does tend to promote killings Of every
description. In those countries where
the knife Is an almost indispensable
portion of the dress or equipment,
stabbings are quite as frequent as gun
play Is In the widest portions Of
America. But the London publication
Is mistaken In supposing that rsvol.

OF the men In America who call them
selves gentlemen. In the prevalent
styles OF masculine dress It would be
very dificult for q man to carry q
concealed revolver without producing
a suspicious bulge at some portion Of
his anatomy. The Southern fire.eater
of the old days customarily wore a
long-skirted. loose frock coat. and with
a little practice his pistol could be
pretty well concealed under his arm.

the close-fitting sack coat and trousers

Engineers who have been at work for

for Mesopotamia have made their re.
port to the Turkish government. They
propose the building Of a series Of
dams in the Euphrates and Tigris riv.
ers to control the floods and impound
the water for the irrigation Of what
was once the granary of the ancient
world. They estimate that an expen.
diture Of ten million dollars would pro.

earn an annual profit Of nearly 20 per
