When Agnes loses her patience with
her puppy or with her sewing, we re-

But when we are trying TO add up
column of figures on the grocer's Dill

minable babblc irritates us TO certain
point we blurt out something that IS
neither polite in manner nor parlla-
mentary in subsistence. And again Agnes

doubt learn 10 control herself; but we
must not wonder that our repeated ad-
mentions fail TO bring quicker results.
The admonitons produce their effects;
but our outbursts produce their counter
effects.
We all want our children to be
friendly in their manner 20 all with
whom they come in contact. We never
tire of preaching friendliness to them.
Nay. we 60 even further; We set them
excellent examples by our conduct in
the presence of guests, or when on

heard US make dsrogatory remarks
about these very people to whom we
have taken so much pains TO appear
friendly? Have they heard us decry
Mrs. Browns extravaganza or ridicule
the Briggses' taste in house furnishing?
No adult is expected to be so sanity
or SO lacking in standards as TO refrain
from criticising others. But criticisms

The Revolution a Harbinger of Good.
Much that is good has been accom-
plished by the revolution" Mrs. Chung
said. "And it has not all been undone.
There have been many good laws
passed which still obtain. One of these
is law giving women the right to
control their property. Marriage laws
and customs are better, too. We are
beginning to have divorces now in
China, something which was quite I'M
known before.
"Then, too, it used to be customary
for the parents 70 choose their son or
daughter in law Now the boy or girl
is beginning to make the choice. We
still have more rights than before the

4 T a gathering Of mothers the
~ ever recurring problem Of chill
dren's lies was under discus
sion. One Of those present told OF a
child who could not be broken Of the
habit. The more experienced suggested
various remedies, such as discovering
the tyne Of lie. to see whether It was
over-activity Of the Imagination, or
fear, or slovenly thinking, or whatever
else it might be that led the child
along the path of untruthfulness. "Oh,
his mother has tried everything; she
has punished him and promised him
rewards, but he does keep on lying
said the woman who had introduced
the fragrant example.
As the family Of the child in ques-
ton was not known to those present
the suggestions were soon exhausted
but one OF the mothers made the casual
observation, "Of course, great deal
depends upon the home environment OF
the child II the people at home lie
about little things even, threats and
promises will not break the child. One
bad example will Offset ten good pre-
cepts.'
This was very illuminating. The
first speaker said: Now that come

that. was taking David's younger
brother with me to the museum last
week, and just before we got TO the
car he said, You do not have TO pay
my fare, because mother never does; /
can say | am only five Now, | do not
suppose the child invented that him
self"
This incident illustrates one class OF
cases in which we expect the child to
do as we say, in spite Of all that we
/ do. The hundreds of white lies" that
grown-ups tell day after day, without
even being aware that they are using
inflated or figurative language, are &C
copied by the children as literally true
or as models of diplomacy.
When we consider how difficult 1t is
for the young child to attain to habits
and ideals Of truthfulness, we must see
the Importance Of giving him all the
help possible through sympathetic un'
derstanding and through the removal

especially the temptation to initiate his
elders in untruthfulness.

UTHE American women are very
fortunate. They have so many
rights, but they must keep on
fighting for more. All women must
fight"
This is the opinion of Mrs. W. X.
Chung, Chinese educator and feminist.
1t was translated for me by her hus-
band, DR.. Chung. Mrs. Chung does not
ST AK English, but she emphasized her
statements with a militant gesture, the
significance of which was unmistakable.
Mrs. Chung is an authority. She
knows all about women and fighting,
especially womens fighting, for she has
been n leader in the great uphill fight
of the Chinese women for education
and other rights. Ten years ago she
founded and supported the first private
school for girls in Hong Kong.
There were few government
schools and missionary schools before
that" Mrs. Chung explained, "but they
were not so good, and there were no
private schools. The government was
not so much interested in the educa-
ton of women, anyway"
Only One in One Hundred Chinese
Women Literate.
The extent Of the governments lack
of interest is shown by the fact that
even now only one in a hundred Chinese
women can read and write. So Mrs.
Chung started the school, which she
financed out Of her private means. 1t
was a new idea for Hong Kong, but 1t
proved a popular one.

Both Mrs. Chung and her husband
are ardent sufragists, ard two years
ago she voted for the members of the
famous Assembly, which included ten
women and which led some Of our suf-
fragists 70 coin the phrase Catching
up with China"
"There were two American ladies.
sufragists, in China at that time" Mrs.
Chung said, land the Chinese suf-
fragists and women members of parlia-
ment arranged a reception for them.
Since then. unfortunately, the reac-
tionary party has come into power and
suffrage has been taken away from
women by the local government in
eight provinces, including my own"
This reactionary government, under
the leadership of Yuan Shh- kai, has
closed many Of the schools, suspended
the Assembly, suppressed many of the
radical papers and punished their edi-
tors, according to representatives of
the more progressive Chinese, many of
whom at present are in exile in this
country. One of these is DR.. Chung,
Mrs Chung's husband, dean of the
Canton Christian College, who is listed
In the catalogue of that institution
as "on leave to the United States"
DR.. Chung explains that the leave
granted him is akin TO the "compul-
sorry leave" granted to mother-teachers
by the Board of Education of New
York.

! Chung said. There we're many girls
anxious for education, and we taught
them literature, mathematics, history
geography and the natural sciences.
At the beginning of the first semester
| had only two girls and six teachers.
At the end of that same semester there
were twelve pupils. The next semester
there were thirty-six, and the one after
that nearly a hundred. That is the
way it kept growing"
The school property was wiped away
in the fourth year of It's existence by
a flood. Students and former pupils at
once went to work to raise money to
repair the damage and enable Mrs.
Chung TO continue her work. Contribu-
tions came in. too, from every part of
the province, many from people she did
not know, for the fame of the school
had spread far. Mrs. Chung continued
her work in the school until recently,
when she was compelled by ill-health
to give it up.

Kansas has come forward as the

August Belmont treasurer. Governor
Capper has appointed a committee,
headed by william Allen White, Of
/ Emporia, to assist the work Of reliev-

war and forward the neutral policy of
the national committee.
In addition to the relief of suffering
/ special emphasis has been put on the
necessity Of keeping American public
opinion as spiritual and sympathetic
as possible, so that the settlement and
reconstruction after the war may be
rational and favorable.
On the substantial side the commit
tee has obtained food supplies and
clothing valued at about $4,000. and
has also raised sl25,OOO in cash. Re.
cent contributions of 1892 are ac-
knowledged
Woman Raises $3.50.
Through the activities of one single
friend of the Belgians exactly $500
has been received by the woman's sec

blockade had pcrsistently drifted in.
Most OF the toys came from Germany

As soon as they arrived the managers
and employees OF the toy. department inn

CAPTAIN MUNCEY IN port:
FRIEND OF CAPT. WOODALL

Captain James Muncey. of the two
masted schooner Hannah Mulford, of
near Kits Hammock, arrived at
Church street wharf last evening
with a load of West Shore salt
oysters. Captain Muncey has been
coming here for many ytArs, and his
father came here years before him.
Captain 'Jim" was a close friend of
Captain William Woodall, who with
his son and two other members of
the crew of the Carrie Haley were
drowned in Delaware bay a week ago
today. They had adjoining oyster
beds near Kits Hammock.
Captain Muncey says that when he
came up yesterday he passed the
wreck of Captain Woodall's boat with
half of the masts sticking above the
water. He says that an attempt is
! being made TO raise her because il
/ is thought that Captain Woodall, his
son and two other members of the
crew are in the cabin of the boat
In Captain Muncey's opinion only Cap
tain Woodall and his son Albert, IL
years old viii be found in the cabin
