CHINA AWAKENING.

China Is to have a parliament in 1918
That has been decided. There must be
a powerful popular sentiment In that
ancient empire on the question of rep
rescntative government; for at first the
petition for n change in the date, from
1915, was refused favorable consldcra-
ton. Without powerful pressure the
decision as now announced would not
have been taken. The throne must
have deemed it prudent to go with the
general current.
Another piece OF news from China
comes through the Journal of the
American Asiatic association. 1t is to
the effect that the government of that
country has laid aside about billion
dollars in gold, accumulated during
many years, and that this money VIII
be spent for a navy. Allowance must
be made for the possible cXaggeration
OF the rumor. but it is not improbable
that China, becoming civilized, Is about
to follow Japan and the rest of the
world in the matter of armament, to
tho best Of her financial ability. And
then, when China has navy It's ef-
1ciency must be proved before the
country can obtain standing in the
councils of nations, That seems to be
the rule. And not only Is the navy to
no made modern. but the army Is TO
be enlarged and improved in accord
ance with Western standards, 1t Is
claimed that the Chinese are good
fighters. There nrc great possibilities
for trouble some day when the Chinese
begin to feel their new power inc
| Chinese are fatalists and with the aoil-
tty to fight and no fear Of results,
they in time will become much more
for,nidable power than the mob that
went down to defeat before the Japan
ese forces,
In what direction, we may ask, VIII
! China's exploits go when the WA
spirit IS aroused. and the navy and
army are rcndy? That remains to Dc
seen. In the meantime 1t Is for us tc
reflect upon the sad fact that contact
| with our so-calcd Christian civilization
| drives pagan nations to arm them
selves and to prepare for war

1.-THE regular century plant" said an
expert In Horticulture, rs not a cactus.
1t belongs to family by itself. 1t has
large. broad leaf. sometimes two or
three feet long and several inches
thick where they branch from the CEN
ter. There are two varieties. one the
variegated and the other green. The
only difference is that the variegated
has white stripe along the outer edge
OF the leaf. Both bloom every twenty
nve to forty years. A stock perhaps
eight or ten inches In diameter shoots
up from the center to a height of If
teen or twenty feet. and around this
stock cluster small blossoms. They are
neither pretty nor fragrant. They were
formerly supposed to bloom once in
hundred years.
The nearest thing to q century
plant Is a night blooming cereus. 1t is
cactus and blooms once In about
every twenty-five years or SO. The
flower Is large. very beautiful and has
a delightful odor. One plant may have
several blossoms. but each flower lasts
only one night
