CHINA'S NEW REGIME.
THRONE YIELDS TO DEMAND
FOR CONSTITUTION.

Move Toward Popular Government Is Re-
suit Of Aiitation-Empire Takes a Step
Forward That Will Soon Make It Active
Rival to Japan.
The ancient absolute regime in
China will exist only historically af-
ter the Chinese New Year in Janu-
airy, 1911. 1t is stated that the
throne has decided to accede to the
resolution of the Imperial Senate,
praying for the immediate creation
of a constitutional cabinet.
Political events in China have
moved with q rapidity that appears
almost revolutionary when it is con-
sidered the provincial assemblies
representing the first step toward
popular government in the empire S
history of thousands of years were
inaugurated so recently as October
IA, 1909.
The first imperial Senate met on
Oct. 3 last. The late empress dowa.
ger had 1ecreed that general repre-
sentative legislative body, to be
known as the imperial parliament,
be convoked in 1915 at the end of a
nine year period of preparation.
The people having had taste Of
popular government were impatient
and the Senate soon after it was or.
ganized demanded the immediate
convocation of general parliament.
The throne and council yielded to
the extent of advancing the date
for the inauguration OF parliment to
1918.
The Senate, one-half OF the mem.
bership of which was appointed by
the throne, developed striking in.
dependence and exhibited o spirit
that was almost rebellious. When a
few weeks ago this attitude was
changed notably, the general belief
was that the body had been intimi.
dated.
1t appears now that the provincial
delegates and others who urged q
still earlier meeting OF Parliament
had no intention of abandoning their
campaign, but simply altered their
tactics and embarked upon plan OF
private. though undoubtedly forceful
persuasion.
At series of secret sessions il
was decided that they would not fur
ther tolerate q grand council not re.
sponsible to the imperial Senate.
Briefly stated, the Senate resolved
to relieve Prince Chun, the regent Oi
absolute power. and make the coun'
try q constitutional empire forth
with.
The reported compliance of the
throne is regarded as q compromise.
The Senate will propose to conduc,
the government on q single chamber
basis until 1913.
1t is understood the venerable
Prince Ching of Boxer memory, thu
present power behind the throne
will retire and that Duke Tsai- -Tsl
will become Prime Minister.
| The Duke was member OF tht
travelling commission for the invest
igation of foreign parliamentary gov
ernment in 19O5-06 and in the Garlic,
year his life was attempted. HI
was injured by bomb, but wher
urged by his family to resign from
the commission replied that he would
willingly die if his death would givs
to China Q constitutional govern
ment.
The Senate at present Is discuss
ing the financial budget in commit
tee and seriously reducing what il
considers the unnecessary expendi.

Waterinf Plants,

According to an ingenious Scotch
devine, house plants can be kept well
watered during a weeks absence OF
the housekeeper. Set a bowl oi
water well above the plant to be
watered by means of a box or a pile
OF books. Twist several strands OF
darping wool together or braid them
to form long wick and soak them in
water. If one end of the wick
reaches to the bottom of the plant
bowl and the other hangs over the
plants steady drip will continue un-
til the bowl is emptied.

Hints On Bakinf.

If you find the cake is rising in q
cone in the center you may be sure
the oven is too. hot.
Never mix cake until the oven is
ready to receive it; it is likely to fall
and be heavy.
On adding citron to cake, shave
it in thin slices. -four it and lay it be.
tween layers OF the batter.
When baking q cake try to have
nothing else in the oven, then set
the tin as near the center Of the bot
tom shelf as possible.
Never leave cake standing in the
tin in which it is baked-it will make
it heavy.

50 concerns. with capacity or 10000
cars annually, and % OF these, with a
capitalization OF $3O,O00,000. are in
Detroit. The industry gives employ

means that 100000 persons in this city
are dependent on the Industry. Nearly

troit manufactures about 60 per cent
of tie national output, and the >est-
mated value OF the cars TO be turned

Mr. Chalmers said that the great for.

course this represents largely the result

Evidently tho Evangelical propa-

these cities 25.7 per cent of Christians

Society Women Study Bible.
When women in the whirl of New
York society come together for week
day study OF the Bible, it is of more
than passing interest. Mrs. Martin w.
Littleton felt that more thorough
knowledge of the Bible would have a
steadying influence in the exciting
times which Just now exist IN the FEM,
nine world. and so, despite the cold
water thrown upon her suggestion,
friends were invited to her home to
hear Dr. C. T. Scofield, secretary of the

some points in regard to a better un-
derstanding Of the scriptures, Enthu-
siastic was the response, and prepara-

to indicate even better than the suf-
