BOXERISM AGAIN.

The Peking Times seems to think there is something in the new Boxer scare. In part, it says:-It is well to liscuss and think out the Chinese situation without illusions and without romance. Not one of us but would like to father our reflections with the happy conceit that China was taught a lesson in 1900 which she is not likely to forget; and the assertion that this was indoed so is often heard on the lips of those who should be in a position to know and to give us the benefit of their knowledge and experience. But we venture to assert that the lesson which essayed to teach her was as meaningless and we in our great superiority of enlightenment

If meals were provided, younger children wonk attend in greater quantity, and as the expouse would almost certainly be more than 4d., the true cost would probably be much larger.

And with what result? Would those who now underfeed their phildren feed them enough t make up the balance? On the contrary, the one free meal would, I believe, be the only l many would get.
