sELsCTINe GLOVES.

"A Task Upon Which Too Much Care
Cannot BE bestowed.
The French woman's idea oil dress is,
OF course, to accomplish perfection in
all its details, but if she must practice
economy she never neglects her shoes
and her gloves. Her gloves are proven
bal She chooses them with art, she
puts them on with art, she carries them
with art, and she mends them with art.
She always puts on her gloves in the
house and buttons them as carefully as
any other article of dress. She never
would be guilty of putting on her gloves
rudely in the street or in a street car,
or of squeezing her hands into gloves
several sizes too small and buttoning
them with a hairpin. This would be
considered a great improperly. Many
people cram their hands into gloves
which are so small that the gloves look
stuffed, and a yellow kid on a pudgy
hand reminds one of nothing more
poetic than a ham in it's yellow bag.
People, especially girls. with large
hands ought to buy gloves which are
larger than seems necessary, for tight
gloves always make-the hands swell and
increase in size by years of such inju-
dicious treatment.
NOW, dII0F choosing RlOV6S-nlc6,
stout, loose ones for street wear and
others a little closer in fit for calling
and for evening wear-there is a way
to put them on. If there is anything
that mars a woman's appearance it is
a glove with the seams twisted and all
the fingers awry.
The first trying on of a glove is the
most important. because this gives the
glove its set. First shake some powder
into each finger of the glove. Then
place your elbow firmly on a table, with
the hand upright and the thumb ex-
tended toward the palm. Draw the body
of the glove over the fingers. and after
seeing that each seam of the glove is
straight with the line of the finger, coax
each finger into the finger of the glove.
Be sure in the meantime that the stitch
ing on the back of the glove is also
straight. Now insert the thumb. and
look once again to see if the seams are
all straight. If not, pull the glove off
and begin again. The seam at the tip
of the thumb should be in line with the
middle of the thumb nail. Smooth the
wrist neatly and fasten the second but
ton before the top one, for then the top
one will not suddenly burst off.
A man who was a real dandy of the old
school declared that women should put
on their gloves, the first time. in not less
than three-quarters of an hOur.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

AN EMPIRE.
WHY THE EUROPEAN POWERS ARE
EAGER TO DIVIDE CHINA.

The Giant Old Patriarch of Nations Is
Rich In Tea and Silk. and the Earaud-
ers Want to Divide the spOEs-Russia's
Grab.
AT this distance it is hard for us to
realize the real importance of the situa-
tion in the east AS matter of fact a
new epoch in the history of the orient,
accompanied by changes almost as radi-
cal as those which took place. in this
continent two centuries ago. has been
begun. China, which for centuries has
existed ohangeless, and passive amid the
worlds progress, is paying the penalty
for inactivity. The country is like q
great, sleepy, helpless giant whose size
has heretofore scared away all maraud-
ers, but now, when his defenseIess con-
dition has been realized, must submit
to the plundering of all corners.
Tt is a fitting occasion for the histor-
ical sentimentalist to shed tear. The
Oldest nation on earth, the nation which
was civilized when the Greeks were
barbarians, is enduring territorial pill
lage at the hands of lawless youngsters
with less than five centuries behind
them. The hated foreign devils, " de-
spised by every Chinese with an intense
racial contempt which we can only faint
" conceive, will march their armies
over sacred soil, plant their hideous fac
tories among the temples of their gods,
uproot century old traditions and dis
arrange customs which it has taken
ages to perfect.
Russia, England, Germany and France
are already on the ground, grabbing
port here, an island there and a province
in another section. The tottering struc-
ture of government, rotten with age,
pulls apart easily, and the bold pilferers
are already talking of the wholesale par
tition of China.
Thus far Russia has made the most
important seizures. Port Arthur, whose

Purses Made of Cloth.

An eastern newspaper AYERS that the
very, very latest thing is to have a purse
made of the same material as the street
dress. And, not only that, but the purse
must be mounted with a gold clasp, and
have the initials of the owner in gold let
tiers upon it. Another possibility which
it is whispered may descend upon us in
fact is to have walking shoes made of
dyed leather to match the walking cos
tune. This is pretty fancy. at all
events, and has probably come about
from the tremendous and universal sue
cess of the tan shoe, which is so much
softer and pretticr than black, and
threatens to be worn in winter as well
as for outing and summer wear.

occupation by the forces Of the car has
created such a stir in Europe, is the
largest and most important naval station
in China.
Port Arthur lies at the extreme south
ern point of the Liau-Tong peninsula.
Prior to 1881 it was simply a Chinese
mud village, with some so or 60 clay
novels, here and there a shop and few
insignificant lodging houses. In that
year the Chinese government decided to
make it a naval station, and then its
prosperity began. The work was first
attempted by Chinese contractors, and
it was six years before the government
was convinced that they were wholly
incompetent for the task. Then French
firm undertook the job and finished it
up promptly and to the great satisfac-
ton of everybody Two docks were
built, one 400 feet long, at which ships
of any size may be repaired. On the land
and water sides strong Notifications
were erected and splendidly equipped
with modern guns.
But the japanese captured it without
much difficulty, not because the fortifi
cations were at fault but because the
Chinese were cowardly. After the Jap
anese left the Russians came in, nomi-
nally to reconstruct the docks and forti-
fications, but really to stay. They are
there yet. The czar had long cast covet-
GUS eyes on Port Arthur. It is free from
ice all the year round, whereas Vladi-
vostok, the headquarters of the Russian
feet in eastern waters, is icebOund half
the year. In time, too, it will be con-
nected direct with st. Petersburg Ly
the Transsiberian railroad.
In the meantime Germany has seized
Kiao Chou, France has grabbed a big
slice of southern China and England
has gripped the islands in Hongkong
bay, while each of the marauding pow
ers has picked out the territory which it
means to occupy when the time is ripe.
But why is China to be divided?
What is China worth to them? What
will they get by it?
Trade, trade, trade-that is what they
all want. It is not mere ambition for
more land. They do not want to plant
new colonies. In China proper there are
already $50, 900, 900 inhabitants, more
than the soil will support. But they are
an industrious people. They produce
much and consume little. They produce
articles which the rest of the world
wants-tea and silk. They consume rice
and opium, which few people but the
Chinese have much use for. The annual
customs of China, placed more heavily
on exports than imports, amount to
$27, 600, 900. Nothing more is known
of the annual budget. No one knows
Just how rich the nation is, but its re-
sources are vast. Without doubt China
is richer than England and all her colo
MES, richer than Russia, richer than
any nation on earth.
This is why the European powers are
sending fleets and armies to the east
When the looting of the Dives of nations
is on, they want to back their grasping
fingers with muscles of Harveyized steel.
The fists which Europe plunges into the
oriental grab bag are mailed fists, big
enough to grab lot and strong enough
o hold what they grab.

HOW TO MAKE COOP COFFEE

First buy the best coffee. and then-put
plenty in."-Old Saying.
To have your coffee strong and good,
Some things must first be understood.
For if you slight one single rule,
Neglect the pot or mako too fun,
Omit to stir it when you ought,
Or use the coffee cheaply bought
Then be quite sure you'll not succeed
Who as he runs may often read
Hot water now,
One cup allow
To each and ev'ry drinker.
And Still one more.
Completes the score
For cen a tariff tinker.
Cleanse well your pot,
With water hot,
Then use the coffee which is best,
For each a spoon,
Night, morn or noon,
Ten minutes boil will do the rest
But If, oh man, the strength be not,
Add still a spoon for coffee pot.

to be the nucleus of the opposition to

Croker, his well-known ambition and his
points of availability as candidate make
him, apparently, the solution of the Croker
problem.
The first consideration in defeating MI
Bryan will be to secure the support Of the
Southern delegates, and German is the
only man who stands any show of holding
the Southern support against Bryan. The
Southern statesmen realize that the time
has not arrived in the evolution Of politics
when distinctly Southern man can be
nominated and elected. Senator German
while not a Southern man in sympathy

the Southern heart by his mastery tactics
