A NEW USE FOR TOWELS.

In Southern China They Sew Two
vide "a Coat.
1t appears from the latest consular
report from Swatow, in Southern
China, that among cotton goods the
import of towels alone has shown any
improvement. But, the consul ex-
plains, this does not imply any in
creased attention to personal cleani-
ness on the part of the inhabitants
of the district, for the towels are used
for clothing, says the London Times.
The breadth of the ordinary towel be-
ing that from shoulder to shoulder,
two sewn together will make a coat.
Sleeves are dispensed with, and, ex-
cept for the arm holes, there is none
of that waste of material which is es-
pecially repugnant to the Chinaman,
and which the size of his native piece
goods and the fashion of his clothes
cOnSpire to avoid. British manufact-
urers have been warned by their
agents and others of this frugal ten
dency of the Chinese mind, but the
loom designed to turn out cloth of the
narorw Chinese breadths requires as
much attention us one giving cloth
twice as wide. This leads the consul
to suggest that the cloth might be
woven at the same loom. So far the
remOnstrances Of importers have
aYailed chiefly to affect the length of
the piece. If piece forty yards long
will make exactly twelve Chinese gar
ments, one Il few inches less will only
produce similar garments, leaving
useless remnant. Thus importers who
know their customers have urged that
the piece, though it cannot be woven
to a given inch, should always exceed
the expected length and never fall
short of it, Lastly, the consul suggests
that, as Chinese garments fit loosely
TO the figure and can be transferred
from one person to another without
any noticeable mistit, it might be pos
sible for British manufacturers to turn
out goods of exact size needed for coats,
gowns and the amorphous pantaloons.
He asks whether these crude garments
might not be produced entire and SO
imported into China.

In regard to the Importance of the
question of rank and precedence In
Washington, the late governor and
United States senator, L. d. Morgan
used to tell story that perfectly il
illustrates the strict puctillio Of the dip
omatic circles here, and also how much
the new senator has to learn, no matter
how We'll acquainted with the usages
Of the grande monde he may be else
where. Gov. Morgan, by the way, was
born to the purple, had seen much Of
good society before his elevation to
the chief magistracy of his own state
Of New York and the United States
senate.
Ihe matter of etiquette embarrassed
me IL good deal when l first went to
Washington as Il senator said he.
1t was in the early days Of the war,
and Mr. Seward, who was an old friend,
was secretary of state. There was Il
good deal of dinner giving that winter
QS6:S) and L did as the others were
doing. During the holidays in 1868, l
invited the members of the diplomatic
corps to meet the secretary of state
at dinner. The times were squally,
and Seward had told me privately that
he wanted all the social aid he could
get. especially with the foreign min
listers in Washington. Sir Frederick
Bruce was the English minister then.
He was a special friend of my wife
and myself, and had often visited at
our home in New York. SenOr TaSSara,
The Spanish minister. was the dean or
senior Of the diplomatic corps At the
congress of Vienna in 1910 the rule was
adopted and is still in existence. that
diplOmatiStS' precedence at court is
regulated by the term of service at
that court. So. as my dinner was TO
diplomats, things had to be regulated
according to diplomatic usage.
Sir Frederick Bruce was my oldest
acquaintance among them, and l asked
him to take Mrs. Morgan out to dinner.
My dear sir, | cant do that said
Bruce 'Tassara's the dean. It's his
right oh, the ID said ]. Eng
land is 4 bigger country than Spain.
Besides, you're an old friend of ours.
Let the etiquette go But l daren't,
said Bruce. Just then Seward came up.
Hearing what was going ON he called
me to one side and said: This may
not seem of any Importance to you,
Morgan, but it Is of immense conse-
quence to me and the country. Spain
is friendly to us. TassaPa. being a
Spaniard. is extremely punctilious. If,
at a diplomatic dinner, his right of pre-
cedence is disregaRded, he would take
it as a deliberate insult to his nation.
SO, for heavens sake, let him take Mrs.
Morgan out; otherwise he will write
20 his government, and we viii have
no end of row over it, OF course,
with this view before me" said Gov.
Morgan, Il could only comply with the
requirements of courtesy and etiquette,
and asked Senor Tassara to take my
wife out, which he did, and we had
no row with Spain. n."-Washington Post.

A Pioneer Newspaper woman.

Mrs. e. J. Nicholson is said to be
the only woman In the world who owns,
edits, manages and publishes a great
daily newspaper. She was first con-
tributOr of poetry to the columns of the
New Orleans Picayune, which she now
owns, under the name of Pearl Rivers,
and some years ago was made literary
editor of the paper by Col. A. NJ. Hol-
brock, it's editor and proprietor, thus
being the pioneer newspaper woman
in the South. After a time she be-
came the wife Of Col. Holbrook, and at
his death inherited the paper, much
encumbered by debt, with a dubious
outlook. She assumed the responsible
ity courageously, and, with able assist
ants, has put it again on a substantial
basis. A few years ago she married
George Nicholson, who was business
manager of the paper.

Can Tell the Days of the Week and

Those people who do not believe in

felt commiseratiOn; they have either
been unfortunate in their canine ac-
quailqltances Or have not the penetration
requisite for proper Interpretation Of
dog characteristics. 4 Louisville "ail-
road man has dog that distinguishes
the days Of the week and different
railroad trains. On days when SIidget's
owner made his regular trips the dog
accompanies him to the station, but
never attempts to board the train-just
stays on the platform, an interested
spectator, and wags his tail cheerfully
as the train moves out. On other days
and other trainS-suburban trains to
Parkland or Pewee Valley-he hops
, aboard without hesitation, evidently
aware that the ride in prospect is one
that be may share. Midget sWears,
too; swears like q pirate.
The family understands him, but they
report that his language is too terrible
to be repeated. When things don't go
to suit him he retires under Il bed or
sofa and lies there rolling off oaths of
fearful description for hours. A young
man who was attentive to Midget's
young mistress unintentionally offended
him, but the dog got even. He actually
broke off the match. He knew the reg
ular nights on which the youth ap-
peared, and at an early hour would en-
sconce himself under the parlor sofa,
from which coign of vantage he would
, growl forth such volleys of personal

tive lover became intimidated and
ceased his attentions. In recognition of
which services NIidget's master gave
