In Shanghai some of the richest merchants have brought out their beautifal opium pipes and elegant accessorios, trays and all, and publicly barnt them. In many cities young wen hare banded themselves together and gone through the towns calling on everyone to bring out their cpiam pipes and burn them,

SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS.

China has virtually done sway with foot. binding, that mutilation of their women that had prevailed for over 1,000 years to make them pleasing in the eyes of men, tottering like lilies blown by the wind; not stopping ont boldly in masonline fashin. And yet we wonder if Chins is awake-we, who have hardly begun to rub our оти буен

Foreign babies accustomed to be carried by Chinese nurses have been known to start violently and eling as for their lives on being carried downstairs, so tottering and insecure rere the feet of Chinese women. They are stepping out like men now, as the Chinese

say.

The Chinese are very much awake, but they cannot by an imperial odlet, ss by a magician's wand, raise an army of teachers; so many schools have had to be closed, whilst in others we lear of a Chinese man teaching English in a Govern msat school at a good salary, he himself having only begun to learn English three weeks before, and of a Chinese lady teaching singing, she herself only able to play an octave with one hand.

The demand for teachers is great for just about one-quarter of the whole human race, for if all peoples that on earth do dwell stood up together more than one in every four would be a Chinese.

But the supply of teachers qualified to teach Western learning in China is as yet very short There has been an outery for Normal Colleges to train the teachers. But who is to teach in the Normal Colleges?

And in all that great continent who is to bind up the wounds, to bring healing to the suffer ing? We have doctors, surgeons, conliste, dentists, midwives, trained nurses, air beds, anesthetics. With all this burden of blessing we yet enffer. And the Chinese man has none of all these things. Chinese think it as indecent for a man to study sustomy sa our people in England think it for a woman to do so. Thne they can have no surgeons.

A HUGE FILL.

Lady Florence Cecil ralates in one of her recent travels to China fading a baby dying with a large roand pill just administered by a Chinese doctor stuck in its throat and choking

it

Soap made of snakes' skins, tigers' bones re- duced to powder, and the like are favourite Chinese remedies. No one who travels there

can help trying a little doctoring, if it be no more than castor oil, and quinine, the delight of the Chinese, and an oye wash, together with a few bandages.

It has been left to the China Emergency Appeal. Committee to try to raise a fund, and make an organised attempt to promote the eftofency of medical training colleges to train- Chinees to doctor themselves, and to train teach- ers to train other Chinese to teach..

They have not started & snowball, and yet their fand has this resemblance to it, that in rolling along it must increase, for in all probability for every pound an Englishman gives to it some Chinees will give two.

CHINESE ARROGANCE.

Chinese are very liberal and most desirous of foreign justruction now-it was not evor so. In old days even the very man who took your pay for teaching you to learn Chinese would not daign to recognise yon if he met you in the street in Peking, so great was Chinese arrogance and hate then. high

But now all is changed, though the arrogance remains probably; do not we even think on solres the finest race under the sun, our usages the best, one opinions the right ones? So do Chinese, just so! But they see they do not. understand selence and applied mathematics and fo mere things like that, among them surgery.

Nor let anyone object that say money collect. ed for this purpose is being used for foreigners. The Chinese will probably give the sites and the buildings necessary. And all that will need to be paid will be the salaries of the teachers, English men and women of good attainments and good character; also the equipments of the schools.

THE PRESENT OPPORTUNITY. Centuries ago, when the Roman Catholic priests first got to their own country, begging them to return with a little company of about twenty men of great learning to instruct China. Two only started for China, and of these two one felt afraid and wont back. Another time the Chinese had heard some beautiful new doctrine was being taught in the West. They gent messengers to find out what it was, Home- how they wandered south-west, and brought back not Christianity, but Baddhism.

And now again there is the opportunity. If we will we can go far with the rising tide to set Chineso starting on the road of Progress in the right direction. If we do not help it seems as if one man in erary four in the whole world were likely to be given over to mere materialism. Fer Bulduism has crumblod, Confucianism lost its hold, China is changed,, although we may not know it.

The chief significance of the dosision, in the opinion of Mr. Ellis, Assistant Attorney-

General, is that it means that a combination

based on one company's holdings in the stock of others infringes the Anti-trust Law-that corporate stock ownership may constitute sa agreement or contract in restraint of trade. The mere technical readjustment of the finzine- ing and management of the Standard Oil Com pay would probably he made impracticable. The decision, anlike the famous, but abortive, one of 1907, which imposed a fiue of £5,800,000 for the acceptance of rebates, attacks the very foundations of the Standard Oil Trust, which controls a total capital of £65,600,000. More- over, it affects all combinations where wheels turn within wheels to the confusion of the unlearned and the destruction of competition,"
