The new China is erudite. f'oste'rs
placarded all over Foochow advertise
the opening of modern schools, which
are springing up alineet at the rale if
cno every week. There is a normal
school with 300 stu lents, a military
school, a high school, a reform belief/I,
Many intermediate and primary schools.
a police training school, and a medical
school. They are supported by subscrip•
Eons from the provincial government,
the literate and gentry, and by tuition.
It is not uncommon to see a group '.t
modern school desks encircling the base
el a dusty old Buddhist linage in what
was once a temple, the walls adorned
with picture charts belling farilt the
rudiments of geology, botany, zoology,
anatomy, and geography. The temple
yards are converted into play and drill
grounds for military drill, and gymites-
tics form an important part of the
school curriculum. The normal and
high schools are equipped with chemi-
cal, physical, botanical, and zoological
laboratories, and many of the other
schools are more or le.'s supplied with
laboratory facilities and apparatus. All
China is clamoring for western know-
ledge.
Seeds like Sleeping Beauty, can slum -
bei for long year_: and then reawaken
to lie. Lieut. Greely, commander of the
Lady Franklin bay expedition, which
sailed north in 1881, took out seeds 1
various vegetables. Some of these were
sown without success at Fort Conger,
13! deg. 41 min. north. The station was
abandoned in 1883. In 1890, sixteen
years later, the abandoned station was
discovered by Lieut.. Peary. Among
other things he found a packet of rad-
ish seed In an open box in the attic
of the tort. These seeds had been ex-
posed for sixteen years to a winter
temperature of 60 deg. to 70 deg. F.
below zero. The seeds were sent home
and remained until the spring of 1905,
when they were sown and 50 per cent.

tion is raised as to whether the electri-
cally charged• atmosphere, so constant
in nerthein regions, has the effect cf
prolonging germinative force. It hus
been observed that the atmosphere,
electric currents adds quite 100 per cent.
to the rapidity of plant growth and to

of perfumes.
The most interesting part of the dark
cuntiucnl is Abyssinia. Here the beasts

dow from the M edilerranean region
sleet those of tropical Africa. Ilere the
snow capped mountains retain a wild
gear; here also is a peculiar and aber-
rant dog, and In the western lowlands
is a true wild boar. Several of the ante-
lopes and two or three species of noon•
key are peculiar to Abyssinia, as are
•numerous birds, a kw fish, two or three
reptiles, and a great many plants. The
human races are of varied types and
widely different origins, speaking a di-
versity of language,, some of them as
yet unclas,cif1.'el. In the extreme south-
west arc negro types, in the southeast
and south they are handsome Gala-

When we count up the forces or great
world powers, tot u, nut forget the force
of example. Tho forces of heredity are
something and so ale., are ti,u farces of
nature, but there is eta feet comparable
in its far-reaching effete, with the al-
ways silent and often unobserved force
)f personal example.
\\'e are by nature imitative creatures
unit we pick up instinctively the traits
and ways of the people wait ahem we
live. Tho little chile Is so se•msthve and
impressionable That he repents wahine
kt:owing it the intonations of the
mothers twice and the characteristic
features of the father's manner.
As soon as the boy or girl slate.; to
school the parent knows That another
epoch' in the childs life has opened, for
another force is now to become a factor
in the development of the soul. Thus far
it has been parental example, hence-
forth ft will be parental example plus the
example of schoolmate anti teacher. If
Me home example and the school exam-
ple clash there is confusion and some -
ruin In the unfolding life.
A MAN'S CHARACTER
is in a large measure determined by the
examples of those persons who have
been most constantly before the mind's
t'Ve through the longest number of
years. Upon this principle of imitation
the Chiistian religion seizes, staking it
central in its scheme for developing
character. Follow me! was the exhoea-
lion constantly on the lips of Jestis ; and
the apostles, catching the meaning of his
wt-.k•ds, have embedded it in the sub-
stance of their teaching. I'aul In his let-
ters has always before hint the image of
the perfect man, and the writer of the
letter to the Hebrews exhorts his readers
to keep their eyes on the captain who
leads the wee.
The power of example depends, other
things being equal, on its distance from
tee eye. If Chrt,t is kept close to the
ex.+ ile is mighty to .awes but if Ile is
allowed to tall into the background Ile
ceases to sway the mind and mould the
heart.
111 all the art galleries of Europe,
aiders front various countries are busily
engaged copying the works of the mas-
ters. '1' e ryes are turned constantly
from their own canvases lo tlse cut►vas
of flee master, and Then bark again.
'fli.y never allow themselves to point
eten n minute without n movement of
the eye toward the picture they would
reproduce. Suiiellines when the picture
on the wall hangs a little too high a
temporary platform is erected on which
the erlisl stands in order that his eyes
may be level with the face which he
would paint.
In the great gallery in Dresden there
is to -day an artist who stands on a tem-
porary stage in front of Hoffman's
"CUBIST iN '1'11E TEMPLE."
He wishes In reproduce the face of
Jesus, and he cannot do it unless his
eyes are level with Jesus' eyes. It mat-
ters not how perfect a picture is, it can-
not bo successfully copied It it is placed
so fur from the eye That the outlines are
blurred and the colors become an indis-
tinguishable mess of gold or gray. In
order to reproduce a model it must be
clearly set forth before the eyes.
What have you done with the face of
Jesus? f know whet some of us have
done; wo have placed lits face high up
in tho donne of our religious thinking,
and between us and that face have come
the forces and the laws of nature, the
forcers and the laws of society, lite forces
and the lows of commerce and art and
politics. like so many clouds of mist

Based on the text of the Ilevised
Version.
The Book of Origins. - The Book of

ily a :uu.ak of origins, or beginnings. In

beginnings of agriculture, the existence

the world of suffering and pain, the
beginnings of city life, tiolyginite, music.
and metallurgy, and the beginning of
public worship of God. Net all the arts
or institutions known to the writer are
t'xpleimrl, but typical eeeniples are
taken with which to construct the gen-
eral picture of the moral and materiel
progress of early mon its conceived by
the Hebrews. From the very beginning
of the narrative, h„weever, it is evident
that the dominant Interest of the \sealer
is redigiime and morns. It is not sclen-
tilic or historical accuracy about which
Iho nuttier is chiefly concerned, but
rather the ethical and religious signifi-
cance of the fact that God is the Author
and Source of all things. of motors con-
