Alwav. Aska the woman,a AGA

Ii Hung Chang has again furnished
London with the chief amusement Of
the week. His principal entertainment
has been to interview everybody who
has tried to interview him. 1t Is I'M
kindly suggested that in this matter he
is getting into training for his meeting
with American reporters, but as his
quizzing of women is even more embar-
RAISING than his questions to men, the
impression has got abroad that the
genial viceroy is slyly amusing himself
at the expense Of the despised conven-
tionalities of civilized society. Thus on
being presented to the wife Of Mr. Hi
ram Maxim, his first question was as
to her age, and the next was: do you
believe in the efficacy of prayer?" Ii
has explained several times that the
most polite inquiry one can make, ac-
cording to Chinese etiquette, is to ask
a lady her age, and, he adds, without a
trace Of a smile, "she always replies
truthfully. "-London Letter.

her sixteenth birthday, and halls from
Troy, N. Y. On the stage she looks the
child she really is. Her slim, gaunt,
undeveloped figure, with it's serious
face and big, piercing eyes, by no
means reveals the fires that are be-
meath.
Her early paths in the dramatic art
were not different from those of ordi-
nary beginners. Amateur theatricals,
little plays at school and similar enter
tainments served to awaken in her a
desire to do something serious. Mans
fields company was in the city one day.
and she went to his hotel and told him
Of her ambition. The famous actor
must have been in particularly gra-
cious mood, for he listened to her re-
citing and then offered her place in
his company.
She has advanced with marvellous
rapidity, and in his New York produc-
ton Of ''The Merchant Of Venice" was
cast for the part of Jessica. She has
played the part before during the pres
ent season, and the dramatic critics
have taken to her most kindly.
Mr.. Mansfield personally coaches her
in her work, and he certainly would not
make the prediction he did unless the
prospects held out rosy promises for it's
fulflment.

Shoe SnlNS

A new shoe sole is being tried in the
German army. 1t consists, it is said, of
a kind of paste of linseed oil varnish,
with iron filings, with which the soles
Of the new shoes are painted. 1t is said
to keep the leather flexible, and to give
the shoe greater resistance than the best
nails. Already, in many regiments,
nails made of aluminium are used, in
stead Of the ordinary iron nails, and
are, apparently, found satisfactory.

A Future Ellen Terry.

Richard Mansfield has discovered a

dramatic genius, and he has the gra-

On Saturday afternoon, just before the

fire, and the flames were 80 far under way

Not only was the grand stand destroyed,
but six uniforms, and all the movable

The only cause that can be assigned for
the blaze is that 1t caught from an oil

The ball grounds at Brockton arc about
half mile from the city limits, and are
