the ARTIST AND HIS MODEL

An artist in his studio paced

His handiwcrk his own walls grsced,
And inspirations" did abound.

That might paint classic head.
With that lofty and hyperion brow.
With beauty, grace and polish bred"
Thus unused the painter in his stride
ACROSS the loosely lying rugs,
When. In . burst OF conscious pride,
Himself he clasped in loving huSA

A Word to 0yspeptics.

Iwarn the reader against the abuse
OF aperients. tOnics and yinous stimu-
lants as cures. Plain diet must be tax
e., and not too much of that, and any
thing that is known to disagree must be
carefully avoided. 1t may be well to
give up even tea and coffee for time.
using cocatina instead. improvement
is sure to follow, but, mark me, do not
be misled by this Improvement and
jump to the conclusion that you are
well and that it was the tea or the cOf-
fee that was to blame for your trouble.
The giving up of any stimulant-of
course tea and coffee are stimulants-
nearly always results in temporary inn
provement, and this latter may be made
permanent by careful regulation in diet.
Above all, do not take much fluid Of
any kind, either with meals or at any
other time. A cupful of hot water,
with a squeeze of lemon or a small tea
spoonful of glyeerine, drank about ten
minutes before breakfast, may do much
good, and, at all events, it is harmless.

. DIVORCE IN CHINA.
Laws and Customs All Of Which Are IN
Favor of the Husband.

Laws and Customs All Of Which Are n
Favor of the Husband.
A Chinese husband may divorce his
wife for a number of causes-incom-
patibility. theft. drunkenness, dis
obedience, adultery or failure in duties
towards husband or his parents. The
process is very simple. The husband
calls together his relatives and presents
the case to them in the presence of his
wife. The company vote on the ques-
ton. If the ground for divorce is sufti-
Gent in their eyes the man and woman
sign papers of separation by dipping
their fingers in ink and making a mark
at the foot of the agreement.
If the divorced wife has parents or
near relatives she goes and lives with
them; if not, she is sold by the husband
to a sort of matrimonial agent, who
finds for her another husband or resells
her to the keepers of low houses. A
second or third wife is sometimes SIM
ply turned into the street by her
husband without formal process of
divorce.
Adultery. or the suspicion of marital
unfaithfulness, is the strongest ground
for divorce. A husband does not al
ways wait to have the question decided,
but takes the law into his own hands
and beats his wife to death. When he
takes her in hagrante delictu the law
gives him the right to kill both her and
her paramour. But he must kill both ;
it is murder to put one to death and let
the other go free. Among the river
people of Canton the pair are some
times tied together and thrown into the
water. Sometimes the paramour buys
the husband of. In such a case the
gallant goes into Punishment, and the
wife is often sold as a slave.
A wife can not bring claim for divorce
against her husband. If, however. when
she is with child he deserts her, and re-
mains away for three years or more. she
is at liberty to marry again. But If he
is absent on affairs of State or business
twenty or even thirty years the mar
riage still holds, Dad If wife has in the
meantime married again. she is put 70
death by strangulation upon her first
husbands return.-N. 7. Graphic.

"You Shan't Have t."

Two children were on the street, the
elder rolling a little cart. On being in
vited to drive with their parents, ths
elder said to the younger: ''You don't
want my dirty old cart, do yOu?"
Eyes, do" said the little one.
SWELL. you shan't have it. for it Is
mine"
Men and women are like these chill
dren.
'You do not wish to vote, do yOus
1t is a dirty business, not fit for you"
say the men.
..Yes, we do" say the women.
..But you do not wish for the higher
education of colleges and technical
schools?''
Eyes, we do. We wish to use the
talents God has given u.s."
"YOu do not wish for any voice in
the church,"
..Yes, We do. For two-thirds to
three fourths of the church are women,
and their money is freely given to build
churches. chapels and parish houses
and all missionary work is greatly aided
by them. They make sacrifice OF time.
ease and recreation of both mind and
body, of which few men have any con-
ception or appreciation"
But in reply men say: I'VE are
stronger than you. and besides. all
these things are already ours, and
might is right"
Sometimes a person owning house
will let out part, giving what is called
privileges. 1t looks to most women
as if men give US the privilege. as Il
were, of the kitchen and attic OF the
church; that is, we do the most work.
and live in the attic Of spiritual life.
and they claim all other duties and
privileges. This is some mems idea
of the church, and not the true and
right Womdn's Column.

Wallace finally succeeded In getting
all the bears in front Of him. at tho
same time beating steady retreat. with
the bears pressing him closely. When
his rife exhausted its first sixteen loads
he could only find time to slip one cart
ridge in at a time. Three times during
this process did bear succeed in rear
ing on its hind portions and grapple
with its human antagonist, and as many
times did the faithful dog assail the
bear, and succeed in diverting its at
teutlon till its master could reload his
gun and send q bullet into the shaggy
brute's body. At length the bears be-
gan to thin out and lag behind. and
finally gave up the contest altogether.
allowing Wallace to mako good his es-
cape. Save few bruises and scratches
about his body, and the almost entire
demolition Of his clothes, Mr.. Wallace
was uninjured. though his escape, in
deed, was q most miraculous one, and .
surprise to himself. He attributes his
escape to the faithful old dog.
After quitting the contest he at once
proceeded to his cabin, meeting on the
way his companion, who was also bend
ing his steps in that direction. and who.
as he expressed it, ''had not seen .
bear, either cinnamon, silver tip or
grizzly, the hull blessed day." Wallace
related his adventure to him. and they
both decided to 60 to the cabin for re-
endorsements, and go back and ''clean
the hull outfit out"
At the cabin Wallace related to his
comrades, who gathered to hear his
tale. his exciting contest They were
somewhat inclined at first to disbelieve
his statement, but when he showed
them his torn clothes and bruised body,
and the condition of the poor dog. that.
by the way, was terribly lacerated.
they believed him. It was decided
that several well-armed men should
proceed to the scene of the battle with
the bears with q wagon, and secure the
slaughtered ones. and dispose of what
others that might be seen. When they
arrived at the scene of the contest
there was not a single live bear to be
seen any place. but at different places.
scattered along a line of hundred
yards or more-showing the length of
ground covered in the fearful contest
were seven dead bears, all silver-tips.
1t is supposed that Wallace wounded
twice as many as he killed, for the
whole place presented sight similar
to slaughter-pen. and in many of the
tracks that led from the scene was a
trail of blood. Seven bears killed and
fourteen wounded is the record, which
is generally conceded among the noted
Nimrods of this section Of the country
as the greatest single-handed bear
slaughtering match yet accomplished
in any place or country. The strug-
gle lasted something like half an
hour,
Wallace has ever since borne the
name of The Bear Slayer" but avows
that he has had enough of bear hunt
ing to last him q lifetime. He still
lives in Water Canyon. and devOtes his
time to his extensive mining interests
there.-San Mdrcial IN. NJ Cor. St.

IT is fitting that the pioneer of low-prced
journalism in the West should lead in placing the
American newspaper of to-day upon the basis of
the lowest unit of American coinage. Twelve
years ago that unit was the nickel in Chicago and
throughout the Northwest. The founding of The
DAILY News at lower price was regarded by the
journalistic profession as inviting certain failure.
But they were wrong To-day there is not a
nickel paper in Chicago, and the circulation OF
THE DAILY News averages, as shown by its pub
lished sworn statements, rs 900 copies day
with a single exception the largest daily circula-
ton in America, and greater than the circula-
tons Of all other Chicago daiIIes confined.
THE DAILY News has prospered beyond the
most sanguine hopes of its founders. For this it
has more than once made its grateful acknowledg-
ments to an appreciatve public. 1t believes, how
ever, that the time has now come when, acting
entirely within the limits of wise commercial
progression, it can give its thanks more practical
expression. 1t proposes henceforth to divide "
as to its friends-and to multiply as to its circula-
ton. To-day it reduces its price to one Cent
and expects to double its circulation.
And anticipating the questionings of the
doubtful let it be briefly said that the thing be
DONE THE DAILY NEws-all that it has been in
the past as we'll as all that is rightly expected OF
it in the future as leader in progressive Ameri-
can >journalism-can be produced and sold for
one cent a day. and this by reason Of those COM
mon principles Of trade which make possible
lower prices just in proportion as the aggregate
volume of sales increases. THE DAILY News now
sells ovey a million papers sOeeh, as shown by its
published sworn statements Of circulation and it
can afford to sell at a smaller profit per paper than
other Chicago dailies, one of which has as
much as one-third the average daily circulation
