No better test of the gradual loosening of the bonds wliieh for so many centuries have tnado China the most exclusive mu! least progressive of nations could be cited than tlte freedom with which the children of tho Chinese legation are now permitted to mingle with American playfellows. Il is indeed but a few yens since the women of the legation were Induced to somewhat modify tho absolute seclusion to which they were accustomed in their "celestial” homes, Mrs. Ts-n Kuo Yin be ing Hie first to exchange social courtesies with tlio women of the diplomatic corps. Nor was this tremendous innovation ac complished without serious misgivings on the part of the minister himself and con siderable clever management on the part of Ids friends. Mrs. Yang Yu, her successor, easily slip ped into the way which had been opened for lu r, her picturesque appearance and i charming personality making her a social ; favorite. At her first appearances in pub- j lie she was tit*' object of much friendly i Interest ami undisguised curiosity, but it I soon became no uncommon ev* nt to see i her in public, surrounded by her little I family. Tho childr* n wi re therefore early intro- I duced to American customs, and mid r i American tutors advanced rapidly in the I language. The spirit of Fri o Masonry ex- : isting among boys made it a comparativ*'- [ I.'" e.’isy matter for tho eid. st. son. .1 boy o' , eight, to make acquaintances ami in I fr eiiils. He wis placed in school, ami pus- > sessing an unusually quick mind, soon a"- I quired enough English to prose ute his I ordinary studios in that langiia -■.* . He be came so atl.i'ln d to his school fri- nds and American whj ; gimr. lly that v. sen in Apr!! last a iii;:ii|-,e In tho ministry \\Sis made tli*- tiioii;:!it of turning his back upon it all was a. sou re ■ of the gr-alert grief to him. tl was rather hard upon the boy, too, just as lie ii ;,| got a good grip of his English to bo obliged to drop It ami begin the same grind on Friaicii, tor as soon as it v..is known that his father was to go to St. I’etc'tsburg that is wiiat he had to do, French being th** court language in Russia.. Master Yang Yu always wore his Hille Chim so costum*-, whi* It made him rata* r a conspicuous figure among l.is play mat*-s. but once a lioy provo.s hims*-lf a ttrnrou.:;hiy "good f* liow” his clot lies count for lilt!o with hi.', chums.

Yet that is tlte name by xvhich the brass money which began to be struck in Bermuda in 1015 came to be known. On one face of it was a hog, on the other a. ship of that period. Our illustration shows one of these old coins. They are very rare and highly prized by collectors. The history of this device is curious and int*’resting. A 'Spanish vessel, commanded l>y Juan Bermudez, and on il.s way to t’uba with a cargo of hogs, was wrecked there. This was in 1515. Later in the same cen tury, xvhen the English discovered tills land, they found a country inhabited by hogs. It is also interesting to note that tim Eng’lsh discovered it in the same way as the Spaniards. An Engbsh ship was wreck ed there, is it any wonder that the tre ieh- I crons coast got from Spanish and English 1 alike Hie name of "Devil’s Land?" Yet it i is one of th*' most, beautiful coasts in the ! world, and it Ims been claim* <1 tiiat in ’ brilliancy, Mediterranean effects are not ' at all equal to those of B. rmuda. Bermu -1 *l:i is said to bo th*' island of Shakespeare's 1 "Temped-" The strange noises w1)I"h mar iners h"aril coming from this island, and which they did not then know were pro duci'il by hogs, caused them to say that It was haunt'd and to report weird things M iiilo wo are talking about Bermuda, 1 w • might a.s w* li tell of the queer way ' In wliieh the p*ople there get their bulld- -- - .
