WHEN EDUCATION SPREADS.
The only cure for these superstitions is universol education, and for that, at present, there are not enough funds or enough modern teachers. But the love of education and respect for it are so great that one may hops to see it rapidly extended, provided politics! troubles can be sufficiently settled, for the money to ba forthcoming. I hone that, when education becoines more widespread, it will be in the hands of the Chinese themselves, not in those of missionaties, clerical or lay, who want to spread our civilization as the finest thing on earth. China has short comings which to us are very obvious, but it also has ferits in which we are deficient. What is to be hoped is not that China should become like ourselves, reproducing our Napoleons and Bismarcks and Eminent Victorians, but that a new civilization abould be levalopsd, com- blaing our knowledge with Chin culture. The Chinese are capable of this, if they are encouraged but not coercel. The methods of Europe and Japan would force them in time to become like Japan, militaristic, im- perialist, and brutal; the methods of America would persuade them to be- coms like America But if their development can be left fres, I think they can give the world a new civil- ization, to carry on the arts and aciences after Barope has perished in a sea of blood.

He tells this story of a naval officer who was boarding a bus during the rush hours in Armistice week :-
"About forty women occupied the conductor's platform, while another forty were clambering on to the step, on which he had just succeeded in placing his foot. Tempers were getting sorely tried, while sub-conscious sweat/ words floated about in the atmosphere! Saddenly a woman just behind him, în her anxiety to get a place, seized him by the seat of his pants. Torning on her with great ferocity, he said: Madam if you will only leave me wy trousers, I will give you the whole ibus."
Admiral Dundas's father, who com- manded a mon-of-war in the Crimes [in 1854, was ous day steaming slowly up the Golden Horn, very close to the shore, when he ran his jib-boom through the window of a pasha's harem. Amidst the shrieks of the ladies and the angry shouts of the Turks, the vessel slowly backed out without doing any damage:--
**My father declared (saya Admirał Dundas) that he was astounded by seeing a beautiful lady wasted on the jib-boom, apparently delighted at her" евсаре.
He ran forward to the fors castle to offer her the hospitality of the ship: bat she refused to move from ber somewhat precarious pœei- ton. Being obliged to return to the bridgs to stop the engines, he later found to his dismay that the heaven- ly apparition had mysteriously faded away."
What became of the lady no que knew, as nobody had seen her but the: susceptible captain, but she lived for ever in his memory and grow in beauty and fascination as the years waxed older.
