MAY :. wuklns. Home Life.

Miss Mary E. wilkins is the fortu-
nate possessor OF the treasury with
which the romantic novelist adorns his
heroines-a wealth Of beautiful golden
hair, and it Is of the real yellow golden
hue which one seldom sees growing
naturally on a woman's head. The dis
tinguished novelist is very tiny in fig
ure, and very shy and modest in man
ner. She cares little for the applause
Of the world; indeed, she seems hardly
to know what to do with the fame that
she has won. At a little distance one
would take her for a shy and sensitive
child who begs that she may not be
pointed out to public notice, rather than
for the successful authoress whose
work is ranked by critics among the
best of the century. Miss Wilkins was
a student at Mount Holyoke college,
and her home is in a small town in east
ern Massachusetts,. not far from Boston.

Farmer VS.. C,tizen.-Some farmers
have the mistaken idea that every
business man or manufacturer is con-
tinually piling up the profits at from
10 to 40 per cent of the capital invested.
While 1t is true that some business men
succeed and accumulate large wealth.
IL is nevertheless a fact that less than
one business man in 20 is a success. 1t
Is the goth man who is seen cy every
one, the other 10 are always in sight
but never in view. In farming this
order may not be quite reversed but
such is nearer the fact than many are
willing to grant and strange as it may
seem ii is the man who has made a
failure in farming whom the farmers
will see, and in nine times out Of 10
he is not the brightest mar in the COM
munity either. 1t is not just nor fair
for a farmer to be a pessimist ia regard
his own calling and an optimist in re-
gard to every other calling or profess
sion in life Exchange.

drummer.

IN EYES.
American Women Have Good Taste. but
No Originality.

No originality
I have had an interesting conversa-
ton with my hairdresser about the
characteristics of the ladies' of the
many nationalities on whom he oper-
ates. says a writer in London Truth.
The American, though so fully enamel
pated. has. he thinks. no originality.
She assimilates everything and orig
mates nothing. In Paris-and. for that
matter. in New York-her gt- dp is eX-
actly modelled on that of the Parisienne.
When guided by a model she has taste.
But she is dependent upon a model. Her
quickness and sharpness in selecting
merchandise are to be noted. The Eng
lishwoman is fond of simplicity-too
fond. perhaps. She timidly follows the
Parisienne in her eoifures and pays
well and cheerfully. She is always
afraid of what is suggested mot suit
ing her and has no idea what
suit her. She is not hard to please, yet
at bottom she is never thoroughly sat
isfied because uncertain whether her
head is dressed exactly as ii should be.
The Russian lady is the most taste
less woman alive. She is helpless in the
hands of her hairdresser and has no
suggestions 10 offer. 1t may be that her
national headdress has prevented her
taste running on the couture. The Rus
sian lady has soft. quiet but
scans bills with a suspicious eye. The
italian lady is a bad pas er. hard to
please, stingy. and never more than
half satisfied with a Partisan couture.
She will write from Italy for a dozen
imitation tortoise-shell hairpins costing
3 sous apiece. She had them at that
price in Paris and does not calculate the
loss of time, and money too. that is in
CURED in sending them by a well-paid
assistant to the district post office. He
may ave to stand there half an hour
before his turn comes in the waiting
cue. Five francs for the ballroom Golf
fure is not thought too much to ask for
a chance customer. Ar Italian lady
will protest against it as though she a
fallen into the hands of thieves who
wanted to rob her. The Roumanian la
dies are the sweetest and most tasteful
in Europe. Their manners are, perhaps,
better han those of the best Parish
ennes. They have in youth splendid
hair and know how to dress it or how
the couture should arrange it. 1t is a
pleasure to receive their hints. Some
how they manage to pay their bills reg
ularly. The hereditary princess is a
customer of my coiffure. He can show
a charming letter from her to say that
all the things he sent her were exactly
what she wanted. Her payments are
made by return of post. This is less
usual in her class han might be mag
ined.

CANT antics. Here and there were scat
tered small tables, around and upon
which those of the performers whose
parts We're over listlessly reclined.
Habiliments and garments Of wonderful

scattered about the floor and tables in

at intervals around the room. From
there was the direct approach on to the

stage of a Chinese theater in n ca

sound. the omission is. however. hardly
noticeable. for the get-up of the men

perfect that it is with difficulty one can
really be convinced that the unalterable
law on the subject has not been in

rightly it is as unalterable as a law OF

HOMEMADE TRUNKS.
The scheme of a Chicago Man to Beat
the Railroads ON Baggage.


A caller dropped into the Brightside

all assembled in the kitchen. Mr..
Brightside was busy boring holes with
an auger in the end Of a good-sized
packing box, while Mrs. Brightside and
the dog, seated side by side on the floor,
regarded him with intense. though pos
sibly hypocritical, admiration. Near by
stood another packing box with -four
holes in each end, through which loops
of strong rope had been so fastened as
to make good serviceable handles.
This is about the greatest crisis Of
my life observed Mr.. Brightside.
How do you suppose l got that rope in

Governor of Illinois, she gave up the
problem with a cheerful meekness born
of centuries of acknowledged incapac-
ity. Mr.. Brightside having finished
boring, produced a bent wire and a
piece of string. one end of which was
fastened to a few feet of rope. With
the wire he proceeded to insert the
string into one hole and wiggle it out at
another. BY means of the string the
rope was then towed into position. the
whole process ending triumphantly in
another pair of handles.

Otherwise the railway company won't

ONCE APP CHINA.
A Chinese schoIar in Paris Takes a Gloomy
View of Modern Civilization.

You wish to know" said he. the
opinion of our philosophers and age in
regard to the effect of the war Just over
upon the condition of thee Chinese. Well
l will give it 70 you. I put aside all the
humiliations of defeat and place myself
upon more solid ground. The war has
robbed us forever of our tranquility and
u happiness. We were happy and led
simple lives; but. by bringing to US

cation. the Japanese Will destroy our
traditions and our hereditary virtues.
confuse our customs and mode OF living
and make us like themselves. ambitious.
restless, and eager for conquests. And
what will we gain by that?
You fancy that the Chinese are ig-
norant. poor %wretched. but you
must remember that happiness exists in
the idea that n forms of it. In other
words a man is happy when he believes
himself happy when he confines his de-
sires TO the few joys which are within
his reach. The peasant who eats his
rice at the close of his days work Is sat
isfied with his fate. provided he keeps
his eyes away from the riches of Others
and closes his heart against covetous-
ness. The evil sentiments Of envy. jeal-
ousy and social hatred have never yet
penetrated population. / assure you
that you wrong the poor Chinese. They
are gentle. mild. good-humored. honest.
scrupulous, loyal, sympathetic and
charitable.
"You may have read the accounts Of
certain cruelties and ~barbarities, but
they belong to the laws of war, which
are equally barbarous in all countries.
In a condition of peace. when their quie-
tude is not disturbed, the Chinese are
OF marvellous benignity, which is only
equalled by re gentleness of their
wives. l fancy that l know the Partisan
ladies, but do not hesitate to say that
the Chinese women are superior 10
them. In the first place. our ladies have
little feet. They are good-natured and
devoid OF all eoquetry. They have a
deep sentiment of modesty, and their
existence passes along without disputes
and without quarrels. The Woman who

climate. Our women are contented with
the dresses their lords and masters give
them and they never run up bills with
dressmakers or modistes Republic
