Any one who will visit China, learn one
ly relations with its people will soon see, to
his astonishment it may be, that the aver
age wife is happier and healthier than her
sisteriu Europe and America 1t may sound
strange to foreign ears, but the fact never
theleSs remains that the Chinese lady is
better qualified by education, environment
and heredity to be n wife and mother than
any other woman, unless perchance it be a
Jewess; that her married life is more
healthful, contented and adapted to its sur
roundings; that she is freer from cares and
troubles on the one side, and has more true
pleasure on the other Nor upon the least
reflection is this to be wondered at. Civil
ization is not made in a day. Neither does
a community become thoroughly adapted
to its environment in a few centuries.
The social status of the middle kingdom
represents at least 1900 years of civiliZa-
ton. In this great period, practically four
times as long as that in which the mod
ern development of Europe has taken
place, time, natural selection, human Volt
ton, external circumstance and sll the
other factors which go to make up the
force which modifes and develops society
have had full sway. The present status of
China therefore represents the flower and
fruit of 40 centuries. With all possible al
lowanCe for local and ethnic influences,
the social and domestic status of that coun-
try is more advanced and more complete
than that of amy other nation in either the
past or The present.
A Chinese lady is specially educated for
the marital state. She is taught that clean
illness is part of godlncss, and that a

which she lives or the people inhabiting the
adjacent mansions.
So long rs her mother-in-law lives her
jurisdiction is confined to her room or
rooms, Here she Is queen regent and her
husband a submissive subject. The Chinese
humorously style him "Chang-foo'' or rods
man, he being her absolute property within
q distance of a Chinese rod or IL feet. With
in these narrow limits she is an autocrat
worthy Of the Russias. When her mother
in-law dies, she becomes the sovereign of
the entire household. According to eti-
quette, she is the supreme mistress and the
husband an honored guest.
Such is her domestic status briefly
sketched. 1t was not always thus. Ages
ago women led lives in China the same rs
their sisters do today in Christendom. They
played important parts in art, science, lit
erature, politics and statecraft. Their prog
ress was advocated by philosophers and
statesmen, but the good achieved was more
than counterbalanced by the evils caused
Infidelity, assassination and plots were of
daily occurrence. Inscriptions women
of the nobility, and even royalty, hesitated
at no cruelty nor crime to CRAFTY passion
or ambition.
Troublesome Creature.
In nearly every riot, rebellion, war and
revolution woman was the moving cause
Ahere was soClaI ueteElordtloh ana retro
erosion until the nation was split into a
legion of warning tribes and factions. As a
remedy to what threatened determination
and chaos, the sages suggested a change in
the education of woman. This was done
and benefit accrued. Out of the earliest
camo other changes, until the present sys-
tenn was evolved. This has now stood the
test of centuries, and in its main features
will probably endure rs long as the Chinese
character remains the same. Nothing can
be simpler than the ideals of wife under
these conditions. She desires to make her
home happy, to aid her husband in his daily
duties, to give her children the best posi-
BILE education and to leave n noble memory
to pOSterity. CHANG; ST Den

Annoy, China, Oct. aS.-Both Europeans
and Americans ut home entertain very err
roneous ideas respecting the condition and
daily life of L Chinese lady. They believe
her lot to be rs miserable as that of n negro
slave and declare her career to be one OF
unhappiness from the cradle to the grave.
Nothing is farther from the truth, and IL
the adage that truth is mighty and will
prevail has any meaning these views will
be discarded and new and correct ones
adopted by the nations of the west. The
prevalence OF the error is due partly to ig-
norance, partly to the idiosyncrasies of
Chinese etiquette and partly to imbecile
falsehoods

the season was decidedly wet, we have

since that time and are now about two
thirds grown.
The past season has seen an increase

The Fancy weaves and Color Effects Ia
Tailor suits.
There are fewer plain fabrics in mar.
ket than usual. Even those hat are
all of one colors are in fancy weaves Of
almost endless variety.
The jacquard stripe and fancy
weaves are very much liked; and, al
though a fair amount Of plain goods is
shown, preference seems to be given to
diversified effects either in weave or
tint One or t~wo-thread stripes, tiny
specks of color of white and an occa-
sional suggestion Of the bourette idea
Is notable in the autumn assortments.
Fleecy-surfaced goods, with stripes
that suggest chenille, are among the
novelties, and their are materials with
wide patches and stripes Of fleece.
These are not new, in fact, but the
arrangement and combination of color
are novel and pleasing.
- There are twillcd materials with silk
>threads which arSmach liked; also silk
and-wool mixtures either in one or more
colors There are combinations of dull
shades, dark blue with brown, old-red
and dark blue, green and gray, sug-
gestise of the plunage of the parrot;
and various shades of heliotrope with
green.
The preferred material for tailor cos

DANGER OF
The Result Depends Entirely Upon Il
Sfufa IF vItaIikr

The Result Depends Entirely Upon the
State of vitality.
1t is strange the difference there is in
people about sitting in q draught of
air. Some persons can sit or lie in q
draught and not suffer the slightest in
convenience, while others would catch
their death of cold in a few minutes.
Why is this? 1t can not be wholly due
to the relative strength efSthe individ-
ual, nor solely to the conditions of par
tieular organs of the body. Judging
from observations it would seem that,
other things being equal. those who
have the: best capillary circulation are
the ones least likely to suffer. But this
again depends upon certain other con-
ditions A person who has a very feeble
pulse. showing low vitality, can not
have a good circulation in the capilla-
ries; the surface is easily chilled, hence
the danger of taking cold.
But you will see another individual
with a strong pulse, good vitality. who
is apparently as susceptible to draughts
as the one who is feeble. TIE GU
taneous circulation is sluggish, owing
to abnormal conditions. ItImay be due
to an error in diet or something which
interfercs with the surface circulation.
, One who lives largely on oily foods
may have a skin so torpid that the
cap;llaries in it canno. do their work
properly; or, if there is al excess Of
bile in the blood, this fluid may be so
thick that the fine network of capil-
laries cannot carry it. The surface
circulation will be sluggish and the
skin easily hilled.-Home-Make

AT the head of the extensive Wild
ening Of the St. Johns river, in Volu-
STA township. Florida, that is known
a. Lake George, lie two or three
swampy islands One of these has a
few acres Of ground that stand high
enough M of the water to encourage
orange, trees and other remunerative
growths and also to afford room for a
cabin. The cabin is occupied and the
trees are cultivated by a queer old fell
low who has built a long ramshackle
bridge from dry land to a little dock
that stands in the sedge close to the
main channel. Here the steamer stops
on his signal to take oranges and let
tcrs or to deliver -four and other gro
ceries. Heis a hermit who seldom ven
lures to the mainland. Passengers on
the river steamers occasionally see him
busted about the little shed on his
wharf, an extraordinary figure in a
homespun suit of brown, with q patch
of startling white on the seat of his
trousers and an indescribable hat that
may have once been a plug" but that
has been chopped and banged and bat
tered and unroofed until it resembles
the wreck of a Napoleonic chapeau

would make two boards 4 feet long and
IL inches wide at one end, tapering TO
a point at the other. These pieces
should be nailed to each of the other
two boards as shown in the cut, then
nail the bottom boards on to this.
These boards should be 8 feet long and
and nailed flush with the sides and
ends; then cut the roof boards so they
will extend 4 inches over the edges all
around. The roof should be covered
with waterproof paper, or any roofing
material. The back of the coop Is
made of q board II inches wide and 3
feet long. This is fitted with hinges
and made to swing upward like a door;
in this way the coop is very easily
cleaned.
For the front, cut strips Sinches wide
and 8 feet long, then nail one under
the roof, and another ta inches lower,

door in front is made to sli &c and
should also be about ouc-tEird opcH.

just below the roof, in front, is = board

this should be nailed SO that one edge
will fit close under the roof and tie

He was in a concern that failed,

Mr. Curtis asked for no sympathy,
accepted no compromise, but went to
work TO pay it off.
For sixteen years he Iabored to wipe
