he meets big Jim Jeffries in July.
Houseman has been in Burlington for
several days past visiting his old
friend Jack Root OF the Garrick

the following very interesting inter-

they could be among the first to take
them out again. The vigilance eXer-
cised in "spotting" their return was
worthy of a better cause, and there
were often serious thoughts of calling
in the services of the police, for it
seemed sometimes as though the clam
oring claimants would not stop at ply
sical force if thereby they might OBJ
tain the books. A somewhat similar
state of things occurred in many
places when Hall Gaines "ManXman"

CompuIsory Enqlish In China.

An official order has just been issued
in China making the study of English
compulsory in the technical schools,
says the London Globe. Severe as this
blow must be to the Esperantists and
their Volapuk friends-if the latter
still survive-it Is a considerable step
forward on the new road that China
is now taking; and it's results cannot
be predicted. If the Chinese merely
learn English as a utilitarian language,
it may help their trade considerably,
but it will scarcely affect their con-
ception of life. But the Chinese are a
literary nation; and it is highly i'm
probable that when once the door to
English literature is unlocked they
will refrain from reading English phil
osophy. And the effect of teaching the
views of John Stuart Mill and Herbert
Spencer, to say nothing of the theories
of our living scientific men, may prove
extraordinary. 1t was very largely
the doctrines Of John Locke that pro-
duced the French philosophy which
led to the French Revolution. A con-
siderable amount of the present unrest
in India may be traced to the results
of the fermentation OF novel western
doctrines in the eastern mind, through
the same medium of English litera-
ture; another so years-for changes of
this kind seldom touch the generation
that adopts them-may see even more
extraordinary results in China.
