Inventions In Recent Years.
In these times, when we can put
circle around the world in 70 days, this
globe of ours seems small enough
place. But who conceives it's real ex-
tent? Who can compass in his mind
such a realm as China?
Denis Kearney used to tell us the Chi
nese were ''moon-eyed lepers.' My dear
friend Bret Harte dubbed them heath
ems. Our enlightened government pro-
ecribes them as things accursed. Yet
in that marvellous nation has gone on
for immemorial years civilization
and an industry which were brilliant
when Europe was fen peopled by saw
ages and America an undreamed of
wilderness.
They had literature before the
Egyptians, and wise one, too. They
had printing when the European world
was chaos. They had art when it
was an unknown thing, except, perhaps,
to the Egyptians, and to them only in
primitive way. They were the in
ventors of glass, and centuries upon
centuries before q European ship pene-
trated the Indian ocean their junks
traded glassware to the ports of the Per-
sian gulf. The Arabs, with cutting tools
procured from the Chinese, engraved
the Chinese glass with Arab emblems,
and so stole the claim to invention.
When the Chinese commenced to
make pottery is unknown. From pot
terry to porcelain, from porcelain to
glazed porcelain the process went on.
They cut jewels with miserable tools,
which now almost battle the mechanical
ingenuity of Amsterdam. They made
coral jewel when Italy was unknown.
They carved jade, an apparently worth
less mineral, intractab]e and brittle,
into the most ingenious of artistic
forms. Their silks were the silks of
the world, for there were no others.
And through all these aeons, with all
their capricious changes of dynasty,
they have remained the same people,
perpetuating the feudal system of Eu-
rope, nation of lords and serfs. But of
late years, the vassals having been
ground down SO fine, the conditions hav
ing changed so much since the new
world has grown up about them, the
lords reluctantly part with their treas
ured heirlooms under the pressure of
necessity.-The Collector.
The Reason.
Come. let us reason together" said
the young woman to the young man,
who has just made the rusty old cry of
''The women are crowding us OUT
"Well, don't mind listening to your
talk, but can't see how that will in
crease my salary, or open more avenues
for making money" he says respectful
ly, yet doggedly.
II am not keeping, you out of a posi-
ton, nor keeping your salary down. at
all. I am only trying to earn my own
living, and have as good right to do
that as you have to earn yours" she an
swered, spiri;edly.
"Just look at the thousands of girls
who are now holding positions that
were held by men. and al much betetr
salaries. Doesn't that mean that thou
sand of men have been crowded out?"
''No, it doesn't. We never get a posi-
ton unless there is vacancy. We
don't make vacancies; we only fill
them.'
1'Well, if you weren't around, they
would have to take u.s.

SOCIAL LIONS LEAVE BERLIN.
TWO Aristocratic Families, Made I'm
comfortable, Depart From Court.

TWO Aristocratic Families, Made Un-
comfortable, Depart From Court.
Berlin, March 15.-Two of the leading
aristocratic families OF Berlin bade fare
we'll to Berlin society on Thursday in conse-
quence of court events. which have rendered
their contact with the imperial circle un-
comfortable, to say the least.
The first departure, which took place
in the forenoon, was that OF Prince and
Princess Frederick of HohenZollern, who
left the Anhaiter station for DeSsau, en-
route for Munich. The platform of the
station was crowded with their friends, and
Princess ReuSS and Princess HohenlOhe, on
behalf OF the social circle OF the departing
prince and princess, presented them with
superb bouquets. An entire compartment
of the car in which the prince and princess
sat was filled with floral tokens of esteem.
The leave-taking of the couple delayed
the starting OF the train several minutes.
Later in the day similar scene occurred at
the Stettiner Station, upon the occasion Of
the departure of Prince and Princess Albert
dence, the castle OF KuchelhusS, in Mecklen-
burg.
In order to maintain the lustre of the
court, which is threatene to be dimmed by
these and other recent Withdrawals of
society leaders from Berlin, in consequence
of differences of one kind or another with
the head of the imperial house. the emperor
has induced Prince Won Fursten berg to
accept the office of chief marshal of the
imperial court.

Gain:
3,157 Times

Such was the record of the
Circulation of THE TIMES for
the last seven days.
This increase was not due to
extra editions, or was it caused
by any news matters in which
the public were especially in
terested.
The growth of THE TIMES
is not contingent on unusual
circumstances. Its marvellous
strides in amount of advertis-
ing, number of subscribers and
extent of popularity are due TO
its value as a fearless, indepen-
dent and complete newspaper.
1t is the true exponent and re-

The Prettiest Girl In Town.

The music was throbbing and puIsing;
The flowers and the palms and the light
In smooth, waxed floor were reflected
That glorious gala night.
With the fragrance OF roses about her,
In her dainty, pure white gown,
She was, as he whispered to her,
The prettiest girl In town."
And she smiled and flushed, and denied it,
AS a pretty girl must do,
Butby her hearts deep coDtentment
She knew that he thought il true;
And they danced to the thrilling music
o, life was rapture then
When she was the prettiest girl in town
And he was the first OF meni
They parted with anguished sorrow;
Time cleared the clouded sky;
But atlast nights ball she lived again
In the charmed da VS. goneby.
His son and her dau ghter were dancing,
The girl in pure white gown,
And she heard him say, as they passed her,
You're the prettiest girl In town."

The Guardians of the Social EVIL.

Through the address Of the Anti Division
League, published elsewhere, the public is
fully informed as to The enormity OF the
offensc of the Commissioners in violating
the law TO protect the social evil. The case
OF the law-abding people Of Washington is
ably presented and 1t remains TO be seen
what effect the argument viii have on those
responsible for the existence of this shame

thousands interested in seeing the Division

demand for an enforcement of the la W their
silence will be accepted as evidence that
their sympa thies are with the lawless
element.

nave the shape of ordinary skates, but
in the place Of steel runners there are
TWO rollers provided, which are covered
with rubber tires. For practical use on
ordinary roads they are excellent and
their weight is about three pounds apiece.
A good roller skater can move surprisingly
fast upon these skates, and, by placing one
foot across the rear of the other he can
stop almost instantaneously. The London
and Paris streets are already fairly alive
with skaters using the new roller skates,
which are becoming more popular every
day.

ITS GROWTH IS STEADY.

a journal cannot long thrive in

fairs. Should there be sentiment in favor
OF supporting such q section as public
necessity it must be admitted that it
should be banished TO q more secluded
locality, where its moral lepers may not
flaunt their scarlet spots in the presence
OF respectable people. In any event. the
Division cannot be permitted to remain
where it is, and now that the question
is placed fairly before the public it should
receive careful consideration.
Inasmuch as the inmates of the Division
can be cared for, there seems to be no
further argument for its continuance. 1t
may he possible that the moral obliquity
of the Commissioners will not admit of a
total extinction, and i'll that case the ques-
ton of a removal to another locality is
in order But if the sentiment OF yester-
days meeting is accepted as an indication
of what is to follow, there will be no fur
ther compromising with the social evil.
Meantime, the action of the Commission
ers will have much TO do with the result.
They now stand between the Division and
its extinction, and must either continue
TO be its guardians or become its destroyer.

Case of Presidential Nearsightedness

II looks very much as If the constant

amount to as much as the total OF any one
