CRAWLING, OCT. 18th, 1894.
To the Hon. Board of Supervisors Of

Michigan.
Gentlemen: Your special commit
tee on County Poor respectfully sub
NIT the following rs their report.

ton from the Secretary of State Board

to the accompanying plan and the
building committee are authorized to

LANSING, JUNE 30th 1894.
R. P. Forbes:
Supt. of Poor. Grayling, Mich.
My dear Sir: On the Doth inst,
made visit to your Poor House, AS
you know. 1t is Il poor apology for
such an institution. The close quar-
ters ia which the paupers are required
to sleep are hardly the place for such
purpose and If your county is going to
attempt the care of the poor. should
at once make an addition to the house.
A one story good sized wing would
answer. having the day room of good
size and sufficient number of sleeping
rooms to accommodate the inmates.
This room would do for the mems
ward, and If you should happen to
have female pauper she perhaps
could occupy the quarters now provid-
ed for inmates. A most important
consideration in poor house is to
have perfect separation of the sexes,
both in the house and in the yard.
Should you by any chance have a
woman sent to your house there is no
provision for such separation. would
respectfully suggest that you take this
matter in hand at once and provide
suitable accommodation for the poor
people whom you propose to be caring
for. Yours Respectfully.

possible without some knowledge OF
the national aspirations, policy and
secret motives, of China, Japan and
Russia.
The overbearing pride and ancient
conservatism OF China, the ambitious
marshal spirit and characteristic con
ceit of Japan, and the crafty designs
and traditional policy of territorial
aggrandizement of Russia are the
prime factors in the impending con-
flict. The Russian policy is at once
the unknown quantity and the most
potent factor in the Korean problem.
From attentive observations of past
and current political events in the far
East, and from more or less familiar
ity with diplomatic action and inter
course between the three great orien-
tai powers, extending over n long
series of years, l venture the assertion
that Russian diplomacy, rather than
Chinese suZerainty over Korea, Is re-
sponsible for the present war.
1t will be found, if the Korean chap
ter of oriental diplomacy is ever di-
vulged, that the present crisis has been
adroitly assisted by unScrupulous di-
plomatic Juggling and double dealing
on the part of the Russian official
agents at st. Petersburg, Toxic and
Peking; that the ambitious vanity of
Japan has been systematically and
seltishly played against the slpercill-

The outbreak of war between China
and Japan on the peninsula of Korea
is the outgrowth of a long g-smothered
and jealous rivalry between the two
empires for political and maritime su-

Little Prfgs.
From Harper's Bazaar.


A conceited child is decidedly disagree
able object; the more so that conceit is not
a natural development of childhood. Yet
when we see the pains taken by most peo-
pie to make little prigs of their children,
the wonder is not that a few become stilted
and eager to show off their accomplish
ments, but that the majority remain spon-
taneous and charming.
In many families clever speech on the
part of a child Is seized upon by his ad-
miring elders, repeated in his presence
with delighted comments, re-repeated to
visitors who happen to call, and, in fact,
told over and over till it becomes weari-
some. The child's vanity, thus fed, grows
with great rapidity, and the next clever
speech or the next pert retort is made
with a view to the audience. If it is not
received with reclamation the little speaker
feels disappointed, and in a way defrauded
Of his just rights.
Talk more about mev' insisted a little
five-year-old the other day, when there
occurred a hull in the conversation of his
mother and a friend.
Not to mention the boredom endured by
the polite visitor, who is expected to listen
to the Rotations songs and piano recitals
of little learners in season and out Of
season, the children themselves get wrong
point of view when constantly called upon
to take prominent part in the entertain
ment of company. The proper place Of
children, so long as they are in the nursery
and the school room, is in the background
and very beautiful feature of the back
ground they are when brought up well.
To force them and their studies, their
ADJUSTMENTS, even their precocity, upon the
direct attention of older persons not i'm
mediately belonging to them is a mistake.
1t makes them little prigs, or little pedants,
and in either role they are not attractive.

London Clubs for Women,

From the Chicago Evening Post.
Clubs for women are springing UP all
over London. The best known are the
Alexandria, the Pioneers, the Writer'S, the
Victorian, the Somerville and the Univer-
sity. The Alexandria was one of the earli-
est established. 1t owns a charming club
house in Grosvenor street. and it's welfare
is carefully superintended by a general
committee. The Pioneers have their hab-
itation in Cork street. While to a certain
degree discriminating in the choice Of its
members, it is one of the special features
of this club that 1t is ever ready to throw
open its portals to all those who as guests
or members are honest and earnest in pro-
noting any good or trustworthy cause
The Writer'S Club Is located in Flee.
street, and, aided by the efforts of Lady
Jeune and Mrs. John Strange Winter, has
fiourished exceedingly" The Victorian Club
is in Sackville street, and is especially de-
signed for the use Of ladies whose homes
are in the country, but whose employment
may lead them to London, and who do not
wish their Expenditures to exceed a certain
limit. The Somerville is in oxford street and
its membership exceeds six hundred, and
1t boasts an attractive program of weekly
debates. The University Club. in Maddox
street, has as one of its regula tons that
women that have graduated at some uni
versity shall alone be eligible as men,

Did you know that a woman-a mere

WOMEN WHO FL1RT.
A Habit Some Are Born With and That
Others Acquire.

A Habit Some Are Born With and That
Others Acquire.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The born fiirt is not dangerous. She may
appear so. but in reality her little coGuet-
fish, fascinating ways are not the culti-
waited wiles of e siren. but are as natural
to. her as breathing. In all probability
when her eyes first opened upon this world
she smiled at the doctor, and through her
babyhood and childhood up to the time she
was considered n woman that guileless
smile wrought he voc with every man who
came within the circle Of its sunny in
huence.
She doesn't think she Is flirting. She is
merely enjoying herself. Men have always
paid her certain amount of homage. and
that she intends to have w to the day Of
her death. The born fiirt need not be beau
tiful, she need not be even pretty; but II she
possesses that personal magnetism that
counts for more than symmetry of contour
men will adore and she will let them to the
end Of time.
All women dubbed fiirts are certain to
come In for considerable amount of I'M
kind criticism from those who do not I'M
derstand them. The unconscious fiirt will,
however, after awhile disarm her worst
enemy. for If time Is taken to study the
little lady the strange phenomenon will
be discovered that she fiirts just as much
site sex. Her pretty ways are irresistible
to men and women alike, and SO she goes
on smiling and magnetizing all who come
within her power, and those who came to
censure remain to praise.
But oh! what different character is the
deliberate fiirt, the woman who coQuets
with intent to KILL who let's filtration run
into romance, and then with one strong
blow destroys a mans hopes just for the
sake of seeing the card house she has built
up scatter into its component parts before
her very eyes. She is the type of woman
who separates husbands and wives, who
sows discord in hitherto happy families,
VINO enjoys making sweethearts unhappy
and younger women envious. She Is a
schemer who plans her campaign deliber-
ately, not a little skirmisher who uses her
weapons on all alike.
The hirt by design is dangerous person.
She loves to wound. She delights in the
cries of those who have been pierced by the
darts from her havoc-dealing eyes. Her
victims are fewer than those that come to
the net Of the born fiirt, but their suffering
Is real, their pain bitter. The natural fiirt

that shows that she is already wavering.
And yet she has been thinking for two
months just how she would have an over
skirt made for her next gown. that would
copy fair one that Mrs. Cleveland wears
with her brown visiting gown.

Now. that sort OF sophistry would be all

for the pecullarities Of her customer; but
