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. Fun and Reflection.

Page & Co.; while later in Ihe year they will publish lipi* Christ mas story entitled: ''Christmas Day in the Morning.” There is in all of this author's work the sort of fun that amuses and at tbe same lime makes one reflect. 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 for October. “Rover the Farm Dog." Mrs. Wesselhoeft, already widely known for her various books for young people, which Inculcate so strongly the principle of kindness and consideration towards animals, has another book of the same trend In "Rover, the Farm Dog " The book will be published by Mttln, Drown * Co., and should prove an Inter eating story to youpg readers.
