The Chinese Minister.

New York, 12.-The Chinese minister
reached here last night en- route for
Spain. Being interviewed he said;
American cities are the first cities We
have ever seen outside of the Chinese
Empire. We have visited only three i'm
portant cities; San Francisco, Washing
ton and New York, since We have been
here. san Francisco Is something like
Hong Kong. The minister greatly ad-
mired the pavements, buildings and
society of Washington. The conduct OF
the little darkies of Warrington pro-
voked me very much. They used to fol
low US and shout "Chinamen eat rats, u
and ridicule our queue. The minister
does not like the streets of New York.
This is the first time we have been here.
While we were riding up Broadway 10
the hotel he said: This is wonderful
and commercial city. 1t is better than
San Francisco. We came from Wash
ington unattended. We shall visit Gov
ernor's Island on Thursday Tomorrow
We will receive our countrymen in thi'
city. Tonight have had three visitors,
all Of whom were reporters. We are
very much pleased with the cordiality
with which we have been received IL

of which are due to Pacific Coast

Neither will be acceptable TO the

4 Cross Legged Question.

The neatest way to modestly display
a foot is to cross the leg which it be-
longs to over the other. This lifts the
foot about six inches from the floor,
and lets it hang in easy, graceful sus,
pension.
The lower edge Of the skirt should
lie across the instep, so that not only
the front half Of the foot is shown,
but that is sufficient in the present
fragmentary state Of slippers and san
dals, to show good bit of the finely
embroidered or delicately woven stock
ing.
The position is a common one to tie
most elegant and refined girls in the
politest society, not only here, but in
London and Paris. 1t is not in the
least bold, nor is it at all awkward,
Still, my grandmother-dear old
lady-says it is vulgar for a woman
to cross her knees. She was taught so
when she was young, and she stoutly
maintains that the law on the subject
has never yet been changed. She
well remembers a week spent in the
same house with Nine. Jerome Bona
parte in Baltimore, than whom she
believes no more ladylike person ever
lived and she recalls that madam al,
ways sat with her knees two inches
apart-no more and no less. She de-
cIares that no girl with pretentions to
delicacy should sit cross-legged. |
have thus stated both sides of the sub.
ject, leaving my readers to decide
whether they will practice a pose that
is both comfortable and artful, or
avoid it because there is tradition
that it is impolite. l suppose that the
sticklers will pretty soon object to
women crossing one foot over the other.
Even that feminine habit of sitting on
one foot, to the peril of getting it
caught in the hustle and making the
owner go hop-scotch on rising, will
next be assailed.-ErOm Clara Bellies

A Readers Complaint.

picturesque one-and | think it has
its picturesque aspects-is without
doubt the most comfortable to live in.
take it on the whole, the world has
yet known. 1t seems to me that per-
sons Of rational mind and humane
disposition cannot be too thankful TO
belong to it, for it is hard to see how
such persons could ever have enioyed
life in earlier times as we of the latest
days can. The world has certainly
gone forward, and the feature of its
progress that | chiefly rejoice in is its
advance in humanity. The elder
world-the world but a very little el-
der than our own--was such aterribl
cruel one! The only objection to liv-
ing in the present time that | know
OF, is the increased quantity of things
one must know or would like to know.
Eighteenth-century people didn't have
to read Lecky's history of their times
in four volumes, or a hundred thous-
and other books it now seems obliga-
tory upon all cultivated persons to ac-
quaint themselves with. Nowadays
one is required to read a small library
every year, if one would have even a
smattering Of knowledge on the vari-
Gus subjects that invite an intelligent
mans interest. The specialists in the
abundance of whom we glory, carry
investigation so far forward, each in
his own line, that the general reader
can not hope to do more than accept
number of things at second hand, or
be content to have no understanding
Of them at all, 1t is hard to resign
ones self to ignorance Of so many in
teresting matters, aud yet that is what
one seems driven to. One finds that
the first thing to learn is chow much

a sort Of sour grapes wisdom, but APP
