BINOON RECORDER !
China has presented to the Congres­
sional library the Chinese encyclopedia
of 6,000 volumes. Senators and rep­
resentatives are thus provided with a
little light reading to refresh them be­
tween periods of arduous labor.
The United States has been and
■till Is very fortunate In her relations
with China. We have some advan-
tage over other nations In that we
manifested our national friendship be-
fore China showed such marked signs
of her awakening and promise of rapid
modernization.
Thus our national
friendship Is not tainted with glaring
self-interest. This good will of the
Chinese nation Is worth retaining and
fortifying. The Boxer uprising and the
boycott were hysterical Incidents, and
■ re past. They never represented tiie
nationality of China. In taking the
lead In prompt recognition of China's
forward effort as the forecast of a ma­
terial greatness, the United States
might achieve a sentimental foundation
for a very practical foothold In China.
Our grandfathers owed much to the
district school, but in many parts of
the country the rural school has fallen
behind the liest standards. Such Is the
case in Connecticut, according to the
report of a special committee, which
finds many of the buildings In bad con­
dition and the teaching of poor quality.
On the other hand In some parts of
the country the union school which
takes all the children from a wide ra­
dius is a model Institution. It will be
a great pity If the states do not keep
up the standards of education in the
thinly settled districts; for If the peo-
pie find that their children are not get-
ting the best, they will make any sac-
riflce to move to the city, and the de­
population of the farming sections
which has been going on In Eastern
states will be hastened in spite of ef­
forts in other directions to "improve
the conditions of country life."

GRAVE DANGER OF THE T00-F0ND MOTHER.
By Edith Shackleton.
When a woman declares: "1 am complete­
ly bound up In my children,” or, “I have no
Interests outside my home,” a chorus of com­
mendation of these callous confessions arises.
This overdeveloped maternal Instinct, with
Its almost Invariable accompaniment of snob­
bishness. Is just as dangerous to the nation's
welfare as the overdeveloped self preservative
Instinct that impels men of the Rockefeller
type to seize and hold everything that happens to be
knocking around, and there la no place for either of
them In the true democracy.
The havoc that can be wrought by a single specimen
of the fond mother Is instanced in history, and has in­
spired nt least one great novel. All the misery and
tragedy in "Trilby" came through a fond mother of the
malignant type. This specimen said she wns acting for
the good of her child. To make this statement is one of
the creature’s habits, though she really has not the
faintest notion of what really is the "good of her child.”
The appioved methods of dealing with the fond moth­
er nuisance are educational rather than destructive. It
Is possible that none Is past redemption. Even an ac­
tive one may be led into ways of grace by being set to
consider her offspring. Let her carefully note their re­
semblance to her husband's sisters (whom she possibly
loathes) or to her own great-uncle, who disgraced ths
family a generation ago. Let her consider how much of
them resembles no one else at all. Then she will begin
to realize how small a share Is her own; that her child
Is a member of the human family; not a gift, but a se-
rlous charge. When old English was new, by the way,
the word "fond” meant foolish.

lie Saw
The manager of a manufactory was
suddenly called away to New York,
leaving negotiations for the sale of a
large quantity of merchandise uncom­
pleted.
After his departure the office boy,
anxious to witness a big baseball
game, asked the under manager for a
half holiday, but was refused.
In the meantime an offer was re­
ceived for the merchandise referred to
above, which the under manager did
not feel Justified In accepting without
the authority of his chief, to whom he
dispatched a telegram, worded :
“Five hundred dollars offered; shall I
accept?”
The boy was deputed to take the
message to the nearest telegraph office,
but before handing it over the counter
added a few words to it on ills own ac­
count, with the result that when It
reached New York It read as follows:
“Five hundred dollars offered; shall
I accept, and can William have the
afternoon off?”
In due time the under manager was
much amazed to receive the following
reply:
"Accept $500, and give William after­
noon off.”
When all the facts were subsequent­
ly revealed the boy was reprimanded
for his audacity, but the manager could

this latter end, he indicated, are the

Heavy
How
1«
a
Pound.
The favorite question with the
school committeemen of olden time
was, we are told, “What la the
heavier, a [tound of feathers or a
pound of lead?” The first rash an­
swer used almost always to be, "A
pound of lead.” Then, of course, from
the older pupils would come the re­
ply, “Both alike.”
If this question were asked to-day
the old-time querist might receive a
decided surprise, for the pound of
feathers could easily be [»roved to be
the heavier. A single ex[»erlment Is
all the evidence needed.
With any accurate scales weigh out
a pound of lead, using ordinary shot
for convenience. Pour the shot Into
one of the pans of a balance. For the
feathers, a light muslin bag will be
needed, and care must be taken that
feathers and bag together do not weigh
more than a pound. When the bag
of feathers Is put into the other pan
of the balance, the beam will, after
a few oscillations, come to rest exact-
ly level.
So far the verdict "Both alike"
seems to be proved. But place the
Italance on the receiver of an air
pump, with lead and feathers undis­
turbed. Cover the whole with tiie
glass bell jar, ami exhaust the air.
Slowly the feathers sink, and the lead
kicks the beam. The pound of feath­
ers Is heavier than the pound of lead.
The truth Is that what we call a
pound was not such In fact; for the
