A Little Musician.

Only 515 years old, Edna Grace Hain with her tiny fingers can bring 30 diff ferent airs out of a piano. She has learned them all i'll the last seven months. If key invisible to her be struck, sic can instantly sound the cor responding key of another piano. Let the entire keyboard be covered with muslin or cloth, not too heavy to mutfie,
 and she still makes good music by strik- ing keys which she cannot see. Her first stroke on the unseen ivory may be a mistake, but i'll a moment she hits the right key and then proceeds unerringly
 She cannot read music or words, but thoroughly understands the scale, quick ly distinguishes half notes and keeps good time. If she hears a strange air two or three times, she can make her piano produce it. Philadelphia Record.

The Ballot and Justice.

4 writer in Womankind says that the great question for women today should be not the ballot, but justice, the exac- tion of the same code of morals for men and women, the treatment of man as 8 moral leper, let alone by women ev- erywhere if the woman is to become an outcast. That is better question than the one of the ballot. That is equal rights; that is equal wrongs. The bodily pure women are not always mentally pure, but let those who are in the posi- tion from which ''stone throwing is possible stone both or none and refuse the hand of fellowship to both or none. There is more equal rights ill this ques- tion than in that of the ballot in any shape.

Bang Combs For chatelaines.

There seems no end to tho pendants on the chatelaine belt. Every well or ganized chatelaine belt now numbers a bang comb among its jingling collec- ton. The combs are really very handy. The latest ones have thin tortoise shell case overlaid with the fashionable silvcr filagree work. The comb shuts into the case like the blade of pocketknife, and a silver chain is attached to hang the comb among the other objects of art and usefulness that make music wherever tho owner of the chatelaine goes.

 Princess AIix.

The many rumors concerning the deli cate health of Princess Ahx of Hesse appear to be founded on truth. There is evidently an apprehension that the young girls condition may cause her engagement to be broken off. It is a sine qua non that the wife of the heir to the throne of Russia should be of . thoroughly sound constitution, and his marriage with any one not in good health is positively prohibited by the Romanoff family statutes. The same rule prevails in the Austrian and Ger man royal families.

THE JAPAN-CoREAN TREATY.
Minister Kurino Thinks 1t VIII Prove
Highly ADVANTAGEOUS to Corca


WAsuINGToN, Sept. l2.-Mr. Kurino,
the Japanese minister, talked to an Asso-
ciatcd Press reporter today regarding the
new treaty between Japan and Corea
1--WE have nothing but the announce.
ment of the treaty. he said, but my in
ference from its terms is that it will prove
highly advantageous to Corea. There has
existed there under Chinese auspices the
most corrupt system of government
known. The constant iutrgues of China
there have been n threat to the peace of
ths east. The Japanese government has
desired the settlement of the question only
for the peace of the east
with the assurance of autonomy to
Corea which is the design of this treaty
there will be opportunity for great inn
provements in her system of government,
internal administration and other affairs.
Already she has advanced from the con-
dition of the rule of an individual inilu-
enced by China, and has "A cabiuet of six
members and prime minister, to whom
the ruler looks for advice and guidance.
This change was made under advice of
the Japanese representative Mt Seoul"
MIR. liurino said he did not think the
treaty could be called u step towards a
peaceful settlement with China, as China
was tenacious, on sentimental grounds. of
her claim of su2erainty. China might he
snid, have put an end to the difficulties
before now by consenting to some i'm
pruvcmcnts in Corean affairs.

into confusion. The reinforcements from
the more remote provinces en- route to
Tientsin are at n standstill and are ter
roriaing the cities in which they are
halted. These reinforcements are mostly
undisciplined hordes, who are not under
the control of their nominal leaders, A
reign of terror prevails even in Tientsin.
The savage soldiery are plundcring aud
matrcating tile wretched popnlace, and
native merchants are fleeing to Tientsin
in order to save ther lives. Trade is AZ n
