Women in China.

In spite of their proclivity to destroy
giru babies, the Chinese regard the
death of the mother of a family as a
greater calamity than that Of the
father, and widowers are quite as ur-
gently recommended TO the care of the
mandarins as widows. An regarding
the Chinese women in general, we are
told in a book called, 1.-The Chinese
Painted by Themselves" that she is
usually imagined as a pitiful being
scarcely able 10 walk and impriosend
in her household among the servants of
her husband. This is another flight of
imagination to be cut short. however,
much ii may hurt the feeling of vera
ciouS travellers. The Celestial writer
goes on TO say that they consider the
depths Of science useless burden to
women-"not that we insult them by
supposing that they are inferior to us
in ability to study art and science, but
because it would be leading them out
of their true paths. Woman has no
need to perfect herself: she is born per-
feet, and science would teach her Meth
er grace nor sweetness. Family life is
the education which forms the Chimes
woman and she only aspires to be learn
ed in the art of governing her family"

Irving to Bag Wellington.

The story goes that Wellington used
to ride over daily, with one or two
of his staff, from his headquarters at
st. Jean-de-Luz, and take his stand
on the top Of a wooded hillock, called
Blanc Pignon, on the left bank Of the
Adour, which commands a view of both
banks and the town itself two miles
up the stream. This had been noticed
by the French, who had still command
of the river and the opposite shore, and
the jealous sailor aforesaid, Bourgeois
by name, conceived the plan of entrap-
ping the great English captain by ly-
ing in ambush for him, with a few men,
among the underground on the sand
dune. which happened to be on neutral
ground just outside the line of French
picketS.
General Thouvenot very honorably
declined TO sanction this tricky pro-
ceeding, but, seeing through his glasses
from the clock tower of the cathedral
in Bayonne that il was actually being
carried out, Notwithstanding his dis
approval, he sent a mounted orderly,
as fast as he could gallop, down the
road on the left bank of the river, (the
present site of the Allees marinesD. past
the French pickets TO warn Wellington
of his danger. The message was just
in time. When within a short distance
of the ambush awaiting him on the
narrow little track winding up the sand
dune, he turned his horse, and moved
quietly off in another direction.

Armour Is Making Money.

Philip d. Armour is perfectly hon
orable man, of course. His bond is
good for as many millions as that OF
any man in Chicago. But notwithstand
ing all this his recent statement as to
losses in the dressed meat business Is
not taken seriously by so excellent an
authority as DIR. Salmon, the animal
expert of the government. The Demo
crat remarked at the time Mr.. Armour
made his showing that il was one-sided,
simply an evasion. 1t makes no differ
ence TO the consuming public where Mr..
Armour loses and where he gains, so
long as the great margin Of profit is on
his side, and that is unquestionably the
fact. What he loses, if anything, in his
packing department, Mr.. Armour more
than makes up in his transportation
charges. In any event the buyer pays
the freight and Mr.. Armour makes the
money.

IS FASHIONS HUMP GOING.

Philosophy is good for some things.
When it comes TO butting its head up
against the problem of elongated eter-
nifty, philosophy can offer some very
interesting and plausible explanations.
When the intinity of the star-spangled
and world-specked reach of illimitable
space and unbreathed air comes up
philosophy has Il way of knocking
plexity which have a semblance to
truth and which gain philosophy the
credit of advancing logical possibilities
at least.
But when philosophy as reason or
logic bumps up against Fashion there
is basso thud and Fashion struts
away winner. Just why Fashion is
Fashion no one can tell, no philosopher
divine, nor logician explain. Mrs.
Sherwood in her lecture in Chicago
Saturday said that Fashion was sub
servience to the power of a leader"
This is true but what influence can
sway the whims of the ruling leader?
Fashion just at present is having q
fit Its most virulent attacks are
upon female dress. The male dress
has its revolutions, but observers will
notice that for some unaccOuntable
reason these revolutions in the male
attire confine themselves to the panta-
looms. The revolution in pantaloons,
too, works in only one direction. That
is in the size of the leg in the trousers.
Twelve years ago, the mems trousers
shrunk down around the leg like wax.
Then they slowly began to relax. The
swelling is at present going down,
having reached a point Of imitation
which could go no further and admit
flow in pants constitutes male fashions.
But look at the women. Why the
hump and what is it trying to do?
Forty years ago the fashionable hump
began in business. II has been wan
dering aimlessly and idiotically all over
female anatomy ever since. 1t first
visited the legs in the hoopSkirt, max
ing our grandmothers look like so
many ten pins. After while it grew
tired of the legs and slowly began to
work itself upwards, passing up the
legs, and bidding fond adieu to the
knees. When it reached the hips. it
tarried while and bumped itself into
pannierS. When it wearied Of making
women like pack mules. this hump de-
cided to move. 4 number of men were
watching il. Several made the predic-
ton that it would move to the legs
again. Others were just as certain
that it would push up around the neck.
1t did neither. With a quick dexter
Gus movement. the hump released itself
from the hips, jumped forward. then
backward, Topped into place-and the
hustle was born. Like the hOopskirt
and the pannier this was voted a de-
formity by the men with their fiuc-
uIating pants. They had no humps in
their fashion and they couldn't bear
the sight or see the Use Of one in
woman. But the hustle tarried but
a moment, darling sharply up the back
and settling itself on the arms II is
there now.
The question Is where is the hump
going next and what 3 its purpose in

ing it were addressed by Judge Book
walter who implored them 10 let the
| law take its course. The leader of
| the mob made this remarkable answer:
''1es, we know the jury will convict
| and give them a severe sentence but
Governor Altgeld will pardon them out.
If any other man than Altgeld was gov
ernor of Illinois we would not lynch
these men, but we are determined that
he shall never have a chance to turn
these men loose"
The two young men were lynched.
This is purely what some writers in
this country call "a popular uprising
of the sovereign people" The people
are constantly being called upon in
editorials and in books and magazine
articles to arise and assert their rights.
They did it this time. They had been
aggravated by the indiscriminate use
OF the pardoning power by Governor
Altgeld. They felt that the regular
course Of the law could not avail
against the whims of a despised ex-
ecutive, and they took the law in their
own hands and carried out and execut-
ed the heaviest penalty.
Those papers and men who do not
like Altgeld are naturally happy. The
utterance of the leader of the mob will
be serviceable in a campaign against
Altgeld.
But the mob was wrong. 1t muir
dered those two young men and the
men who composed the mob should be
hunted own and dealt with as murder
ers. 1t is all right for the people to
rise in their might and take the law
into their own hands-all right as a
matter of editorial sentiment and cam
paign gusto, but it is all wrong in fact.
The excuse that Governor Altgeld
might pardon the young men out was
jackasSical. If there is no excuse
where mObS fear that the courts will
not do their duty, how much less excuse
for mob violence is there in the tiimsy
apprehension that a governor may par
don the convicted miscreants out
The wrong is not against Governor
Altgeld 1t is against the community.
Altgeld was a synpathizer with the
DebS' mob and is an incompetent and
dangerous executive. But that doesn't
excuse the Danville crowd of towards
who denied two men the right of trial
for the purpose of satisfying L brutal
appetite for bloOd-fOr that was their
impulse.
1t will be pleasing to see the law
arise in its might and sock the penalties

ANOTHER SOLDERING NINNY.

Not only in the east but in the west
a man is subject to ridicule if he has
the audacity to declare that he accepts
the arguments made in Coins Finan-
cial School" The great east, which is
a large part opposed to the teachings
of the book ignored it for months when
all the west was talking about it. Then
when the tide which it had created
became SO great that it could no longer
be ignored, the whole eastern press
attacked it with great bitterness.
Coins Financial School, is not in
fallible. 1t has its fallacies. But
these fallacieS will not be answered
by ridicule or such idiOtic nonsense as
this from yesterdays Chicago Tribune:
There is one picture in Coin's book which
should be corrected in the next edition, If
there ever is another. 1t is that represent
ing the head of the average business
man. Inside that head the artist has
portrayed the works Of watch. At
tached to them at the back of the head
is string in the hand of banker. 1t
is intimated that as the banker pulls the
string, so moves the machinery-the brain
of the average business man" There
are two flaws in this work of art. One
of them is that watches are run by spring
power, not string power. There are cords.
weights, and a pendulum to a clock. but
not to a watch. The picture should be
amended by cutting the string, which is a
superfuity. The designer had two ideas
in his mind-a man with wheels in his
head and a puppet moved by string.
He made an homogeneous tumble of them.
In the next place, bankers do not run
business men as much as business men
do banks. The latter, like meat markets,
grocery stores, saloons, etc, have to de-
pend on the good will of their customers,
the business men. Ii the latter cease
going to the banks, the banks have to
shut up shop, being unable to dispose Of
their wares, that is, of the money they
offer 1t is quite possible that Coins
artist never had a watch and never was
inside a. bank. That would explain his
mistakes.
This is brilliant, humorous. crushing.
The attack ON the back page of a
book has never been attempted before,
but the driveling idiot and slobbering
ninny on the editorial page OF the
Tribune has discovered it. and the
whole Bible may be proved false be-
cause the gilt cross on its back may
be found to lean the wrong way.
