china Emerqing From Chaos

DR.. Francis Z. Clark in Christian Herald.
China for 1900 years seemed scarcely
to turn over in her sleep. Now. how
ever. for nearly a score Of years. she
has been seething with trouble. like
brbbling pot over a particularly hot fire.
Within that time she has been ruled by
the decadent Manchu dynasty. by an
ambitious president, by a dictator who
for week or two made himself en-
peror and by other presidents, better
but weaker men, and, if we accept as
true their own proclamations when they
resigned their office. most unworthy"
to fill the high post of the largest re-
public in the world
dozen revolutions, more or less seri-
GUS in different parts OF the country
have marked these momentous years, and
fearful famines and awful floods have
not been among the least of China's cal
antilles.
At first sight it appears that the eeles-
tiaI empire (anything. it would seem,
but CELESTIAL had been emerging from
chaos for long. long time. Yet, when
we remember her vast extent. her 400
100000 of people. her five distinct ana
often hostile races Chinese, Manchus'
Mongolians, Tibetans and Moslems) her
inherited conservatism, her age-long $50

90 years such marvellous changes for the
better have already taken place; changes
which it has taken other nations, not
decades, but centuries to bring about.

Many persons have sought other means
ot keeping warm. One old man and his
wife, they are over 80 have been in bed
for a week because they have no coal in
the house, and their daughter cares for
them. Children also are being kept be-
tween blankets with success, but the
sturdy of the city must bear the bur
den as well as they can, with mighty
little prospect of relief until the railroads
are in better position. or the balmy days
of spring come to chase away the ne
cessity for artificial heat.

DEVELOPMENT of Personality

George Trumbull Ladd, in the Yale Re
view.
In no case can the elements OF personal
life be considered as merely passive or
static: there are conscious activities. In
no case can the development OF personal
life be considered as having the nature
of a merely mechanical evolution: rather
it is always a history of. the use made
of these conscious activities as they
progress towards the realization of ar
ideal or revert towards a condition of
degeneracy in final decay. OF such con-
scious activities the most prominent are
four The first is self-consciousuess, or
the awareness of being a self and so
something other and Of higher value than
any individual thing: the second is mem
ory which binds together into a unique
kind of unity the different experiences
and stages in the development of a self
the third is rational inference. or the
kind Of knowledge which relates events
and things to one another and to one $
self under the conceptions of causatiou
and of the so-called reign of law" the
fourth is self-control which adds to the
II am T. of self-consciousness the con-
Victiop Il am what | make myself to

ize all the forms of the conscious activt-
ties which belong essentially to the de-
velopment of personal life and which in
some degree are the possession. of every
human being who can lay legitimate
claim to the title of personality"
1t is the conceptions and emotions
which we vaguely group under the term
rational nature and which are most
distinctive in the fields of science. moral
ity art and religion, that set the goal
and stimulate the aspiration towards the
ideal of personal development. This ideal
is nothing less or lower than the perfect
person. And the practical eNhortations
which follows logically from this ideal
is that one should be striving intelligent
ly, consistently and with answering con-
stancy towards the goal In such striv-
ing lies the secret of immortality

MAKE HoLsTElN SALE
AN ANNUAL EVENT

In speaking of his success with the
Holstein cattle, Mr. ]. F. Hoke, who
is here from Maryland for the purpose
of closing out his stock on the farm
which he sold last summer, remarked
to Journal representative that he
was seriously contemplating making
the Holstein sale an annual affair,
providing the stock takes as we'll as
he believes they will.
He is engaging in the Holstein bust
ness exclusively in Maryland, and
thinks that his connection with the
industry there will enable him to pick
up class of stock that will appealy
very strongly to the buyers here who
are turning their attention to dairy
herds.
Mr.. Hoke has had much experience
with dairy cattle and after thorough
survey of the field he has adopted the
Holstein as the best for the purpose

WATCH YOUR POCKETS.
If You Return "On Approval Goods,
 Be Sure to Do This.

The old saying that even the worm will turn was never better demon- strated than during the past week when one of the women in this city tried to put one over on a Hartford concern. She ordered a fur coat on ap- proVal to be sent to her home in this city and next day the coat arrived. As soon as it came she left for New York city to have a little visit with her friends and incidentally to show off her new coat. Upon her return home she imm ediately sent the coat back to the Hartford concern with the state ment that she was not satisfied with the cloak and would not buy it. A few days later her husband received a bill and with it a letter saying that he should send a check for the coat and also advising him that the next time she went to New York to the theater she had better remove the stubs from her pocket as they were of no par ticular use.
