He Penetrated Darkest China.
.The Outing Magazine for October
has an interesting account of how
Frank N. Meyer, an intrepid scientific
explorer for Ihe United States gov
ernment, penetrated into remote dis
triets of China to secure new varle
ties of seeds. The writer says:
Danger from robbers was not the
least harassing of the scientist's trou
bles. Tile Cx*tnese hate foreigners to
learn about their country, and lied in
answer to the interpreter's simplest
questions. Wrong names would he
giyen for plants. Carters would be
bribed to go the wrong way. When
Meyer asked questions, his compan
ions, without any reason at ail, would
answer with the most mendacious and
misleading information. This irrita
tion was constant for the three years
Then there was the danger—very real
in the mountain country towards Si
heria—from wild beasts. Near one
hut where the explorer slept, some
species of panther which the natives
described as a tiger, had carried
field laborers bodily and won a tor
rihle reputation as a man-eater. When
the white man asked why the village
did not club together and .kill the
maraduer, tbe people took apoplexy
from very fear and set Meyer down
as “a foreign devil,” indeed.

READ HERALD WANTS
UST MEET DEATH
FOR KILLING
HERJBABY
LONDON.—The tragic story of the
girl Daisy Lord, which has excited so
much sympathy and indignation, both
in Ireland and on the continent,
serves once again to illustrate the in
justice of a man-made law when ap
plied to women, hut while on the one
hand it s'jows that among us there
are still many survivals from the old
barbarous days when the death pen
alty was meted out with as little
thought as men now give to the de
struction of vermis, on the other the
correspondence to which it has given
rise proves clearly that the bulk of
public opinion has advanced to a far
more humane and rational point, and
leads to the confident hope that the
law will shortly be altered in accord
ance with this advance.
The girl, even now little more than
a child, and herself illegitimate, in
the agony of fear and shame of her
trouble, destroyed her new-born child,
at whose birth no doctor, nurse, or
friendly human being had been pres
ent.
She was, after being kept for four
months in prison before her trial, sen
tenced to death, and three weeks were
allowed to pass before the death sen
tence was commuted to penal servi
tude for life. During this three weeks
she attended the services at the pris
on chapel at Halloway, screened from
the other prisoners by a red curtain.
It is to the inquires mstde by soma
of the ladies who were worshipping
in that congregation, because of
their ardently expressed desire (some,
perhaps, think too ardently) to have
some voice in making the laws under
which they live, as to who or what
was hidden behind that curtain, that
much of ihe publicity given to the
case is owing, and it is certain they
could scarcely find a stronger justifi
cation for their claim.
Women are often accused of want
of logic. No woman certainly has
ever been more illogical (nor ever
will be) than man’s laws on the sub
ject of children.
If a woman is married her children
are not hers at all. they are her hus
bands, and as against him she has
no righi to them. If she is tinmar
rled. though in’ law they have no
existence, yet they are hers as exclu
sively as if they had no faiher at
all.
Hgwover, if she presumes on this
exclusive right, and at the moment
of birth, puts an end to that which
is her own, the law steps bi and
punishes her with its extreme pen
alty.
Even before the birth of her child
Ihe law allows her no right to in
terfere with its existence, yet it
throws on her alone the whole bur
den and responsibility for its upbring
ing, allowing the man, who is at least
equally responsible for its existence,
lo go in many cases entirely free,
and at the utmost extorts from him
nothing but a very small contribution
in money toward is support.
Bui there ts one question which
has been asked In several of the let
ters demanding the girl’s immediate
release, which is an even more in
teresting sign of the times.
What good, asks several writers,
will a longer detention do her? Is
this not a hopeful sign? Society is
beginning to recognize that punish
ment is justified only when it is a
remedy for evil, not out of revenge,
and that while It may be allowable
to shut up an incurable criminal to
prevent him doing fun her mischief,
it is not allowable to pass an exces
sive sentence on one person in order
to deter another from doing wrong
So even if the world moves slowly,
yet it does move.
WIVES OF GIFTED MEN.
Biographer* of famous mtm of let -
tern have lately been unearthing evi
dence that tei/ds to throw the blame
of the ahort-cominga of certain gifted
ones upon their wives. Thin ha* been
repeatedly done in the instances of;
Hymn and Shelley, and now we learn,,
through a three volume collection of
Wordsworth's letters—many of them
to and about Coleridge—that the abor
tive geulus of the latter poet was
due, not to opium hut to un uncon
genial wife. We are told that during
I those years when imsterlty has pie
tured the poet mooning in hla atudf.
or monologulng to hla brothers of the
pen, he was really "struggling” to ad
just his Impossible domestic relations
and giving "the marvelous powers of
his mind to the foredoomed task of
developing in Mrs. Coleridge qualities
of Intellect and of Intemperaiuent
which nature had denied her." The
stultifying effect of this association
accounts—lt Is said —for the frag
mentary character of Coleridge's pro
ductions, this being proved by the
wonder of work he accomplished dur
ing the "miraculous year” of his first
association with the dmnesttrally har
inoiilous Wordsworths, particularly
' with Dorothy Wordsworth, whose let*
ters are by far the most ( harming in
! this collection. The mills of the gods
keep grinding, and by and by some
body will be giving us Mrs. Color
: idge's side of the matter as was done
jin the case of Jennie and an
other light will he flashed upon the
j question of blame—Mary K Hryan, In
[Uncle Remus's The Hone Magazine

“Rover the Farm Dog."
Mrs. Wesselhoeft, already widely
