The Pigtail in Politics.

The report that the immediate
cause of the recent assumption OF
power by the Empress Dowager of
China was an impending imperial
edict ordering officials to do away
with the queue and adopt foreign
dress, recalls the fact, not generally
known, that the custom Of wearingth
pigtaiI is Of comparatively recent date
in Chinese history. The ancient
Chinese wore their hair long and
bound upon the top of the head, and,
taking pride in its glossy black, called
themselves "the black haired race. "
The pigtail in its origin was not a
Chinese, but q Manchu method Of
dressing the hair, and it has only
been worn in the middle kingdom
since the commencement of the pres
ent dynasty. When, in 1927, WI San
kwei, the Chinese Imperial Com
mander-in- Chief, rendered his formal
allegiance to the young Manchu
Princes, whom he called in to quell
en- Instruction, and who stayed to
found dynasty, one Of the 'condi-
tons stipulated was that the Chinese
should adopt the national costume Of
the Manchus, including the plated
queue, on penalty Of death, as u sign
Of allegiance. The enforced adop.
ton of the pigtail was the cause Of
much friction at first, but it was in
sisted upon, and now it is considered
by all alike as one of the most scared
characteristics Of "the black haired"
people, and thus the fashion begun by
compulsiol is now followed by choice.
1t is, indeed, a strange irony Of fate
that the present Emperor should give
offense by his attempt OF doing away
with custom which his ancestors
had imposed upon the unwilling
Chinese as a sign of subsection to
their Manchu conquerors. london

Business Bars the Drunkard.

Drunkenness to day is deemed dis.
reputable in the very quarters where only
a little while ago it was looked upon
simply as misfortune, writes Edward
w. Box, in the May Ladies' Home
Journal. Every line of business shuts
its doors absolutely to the drunkard. II
has no use for him. Business compe.
tition has become so keen that only the
men of steadiest habits can find employ
ment. This fact the habitual indulgeI
in alcoholics has found out. and the diff,
erent cure establishments for drunken.
ness-and Godsends they are, too, to
humanity--are to-day filled with men
who have come to a realization of the
changed conditions. The man OF steady
habits is the man of the hour. and the
drunkard realizes this. In the social
world the same thing is true. The
excessive indulgence Of even a few years
ago would not be tolerated at any din
ner to-day. Society has become in
tolerant of the behavior which inevitably
results from excessive indulgence in
drinking, and men realize this. 1t is bad
manners today to drink to excess. Good
taste is spreading, and moderation is
necessarily following"

Farmers Not Improving
OppOrtunities.

Farmers are not improving their
opportunities for poultry production as
they might Comparatively few keep as
many hens as the village mechanic OF
The town fancier who makes the most Of
his back lot. There are more of the lat
ter than of the former whose hens num-
Der up into the hundreds. and who make
careful study of poultry production.
This ought not to be so. Fifty or seven
ty five hen power poultry plants are quite
common on farms, but 900 or 200 hen
power farms are few and far between,
They should be common, and 1000,
1000, and even 5000 hens might be kept
on many farms by those who will care
fully study the business. Do l know
what am talking about? Yes, l think
| do. | know of 5000 hen egg farms
that have been successfully run for many
years. They are not. however, conduct

in the poultry books and papers.-Sam

The Newspapers Great Help
to the Poor Man.

The newspapers are always an unfail-
ing resort, as a hopeful source of infor-
nation of any demand for labor. A
newspaper in the very early morning,
before the city is astir, is treasure. for
any clew to work can then be promptly
followed up with some chance of ones
being the first to apply. Papers are to
be had in abundance later in the day in
public reading rooms and about railway
stations and hotel corridors. 1t is, how.
ever, the newspaper damp from press
that is most valuable to us, and between
us and its possession is often the in.
superable barrier of its price. The journ,
ais which early post their issues upon
bulletin boards are public benefactors,
and about these boards in the early
dawn often there are groups of men who
study closely the ''want columns. From

To Make Durable Fence Posts

The following is given as a good plan
to make fence posts last longer than they
generally do. In the first place the tim.
Der should be cut in mid.winter, split,
and allowed to season under cover. Now
burn the lower end of the post so that il
will have coal showing from the lower
end to six inches, above the ground when
set. Then saturate the burned part with
with hot coal tar. The posts are ready
then to be set. If not wanted immediate
ly let them stand under shelter with the
