ChipH's Long Nailed saint,

Among the Buddhists OF China. sane
tity is sreckoned by the length OF the
finger nails. At the late coronation OF
the car of Russia. members OF Bud
dhist brotherhood of Ascetics were for
the first time permitted TO leave their
native land and visit Moscow. This
brotherhood" says a missionary who
has labored in China. live in secluded
parts OF China. where their sole occu-
patton Is meditation on immortality.
They live on meayer fare carried to
them by devout people. and the guam
tity and value Of the gifts depend
largely on the length OF the ascetics'
finger nails. These men do not work.
and as consequence are able to allow
their nails to grow a great size. Some
Of them measure no less than six feet
In length, and the longer the nails the
greater is the sanctity of their owners
supposed to be. At seasons of great
crises. or when especial holiness Is
needed to deal with a matter Of impe-
rial concern, the long-nailed hermits
are summoned by the emperor to Pc
kin. and more heed is paid to what
they have to say than to the advice of
the greatest statesman. They are
credited with power Of divination and
exorcism. and are feared by all class
es of Cinnamon"

with Bryan and looks upon him as lit
tie less than inspired on all subjects

express himself IN the English Ian

Past Mail to seattle.

Tho widespread public interest in
the contest for the fast mail contract
between Chicago and Omaha has
caused one temporarily to overlook
the similar achievement of the Great
Northern railway in establishing
quick mail communication from New
York. via Chicago and st. Paul. to
Seattle, and thence to the Orient. The
fast Pacific mail service by way OF
ST. Paul to the Puget Sound country
is now quite as remarkable as that via
Omaha to San Francisco. On January
3 the Great Northern placed in serv-
ice fast through mail and passen-
ger train from Chicago to Seattle. on
which the mail pouches never once
leave the car after the transfer at
st. Paul.
From New York to Seattle the time
by this Northern route Is just four
days. East of st. Paul the mails are
carried on several roads. but west OF
that city-on run exceeding the
eastern portion by 500 miles-the
mail goes through without change
across five great States on the tracks
OF the Great Northern. Forty-five
minutes are consumed in transferring
the mails in Chicago. and thirty min
uteS in st. Paul. AFTER tnnt inc
Northern Oriental flyer does the rest
without pause until the Asiatic
malls go on board the steamers OF
the Japan Mail Steamship Company.
Both the Importance OF Seattle as an
Oriental shipping point and the speed
OF the Great Northern transconti-
mental mail service make the achieve
ment a noteworthy feature OF Amer
lean railway progress.
The Puget Sound cities have al
ready become formidable rivals OF
San Francisco as regards the freight
and passenger trafic for Japan, China
and Asiatic ports. The steamer route
from Seattle to the Orient seems to
be more free from storms than that
from San Francisco. and as large
proportion OF the Oriental exports are
products of the Northwest the freight
traffic has naturally taken this course.
Tho fact that the full capacity of the
Japan Mail Steamship Company's
beats is engaged as far ahead as next
August is in itself striking proof Of
the growing Importance of the
Oriental trade that has its outlet at
Seattle

possessions. To this work Miss Shaw
has brought an enthusiasm which car

womankind. Her. reward has been
found in the unidue position she holds
as one OF the leading authorities on
those questions. now of such pressing

questioned. her conclusions combated
but of her wide knowledge of the men
who are empire building. her acquaint.

MAGNET FOR AMERICAN GIRLS.
Some Reflection. as to Why Many
Marry EnGllshmsu,

Boms Reflections As to Why Many
Marry Ensiishmsu.
Why does the American girl marry
the Briton? Has she any adequate
Justification? Do you suppose 1t pays
her and can such a choice on her part
be defended on large grounds a. pro-
motive Of the greatest good Of the
greatest number? Is 1t fact. as has
been fiippantly suggested. that she
moves to England to get country life
because We have no good roads here
yet. or. on the contrary. can It be DEM
onstrated that one reason our country
roads are SO bad is that the American
girl cannot abide the country and
promptly carried her man OF to town
at the earliest moment that sees his
endeavors blessed with the necessary
income? Is II her fault that country
interests tend too much to fall to the
care OF a residum that is too poor to
get away. or has the country life not
much to do one way or the other with
her British propensities? To be hon
est, there are other conceivable reasons
for marrying an English gentleman be-
sides his country roads. He may be
charming gentleman-they are said to
be SO once in a while-who can win 4
wife by plain. personal courtship. and
whom any woman might be justified in
marrying on general principles and
without specific excuses. or he may be
a good average sort OF man whose
advantage over his American brother
is matter OF size or complexion or
hale appearance. ! have known Amer
that the feminine eye rejoiced more In
the type OF male human that treads the
pavements of Piccadilly and Pail Mall
than in the contemporaneous pedes-
trains of Fifth avenue and Broadway.
Or may be II is his superior stolidity
be feared that there is no truth In that
tale Mr.. Kipling or somebody was tell
ing OF how phlegmatic merchants OF
the east had discovered that the way
to beat the American was simply to
put him OF and let him fret himself
reckless. Stolidity Is not quite the
same as repose. but to persons who are
suffering from an acute dearth of re-
pose It may appeal as a tolerable sub
stitute. so that one can imagine an
American maid. worn with the restless
aspirations OF her high pre- sure coun-
trymen. turning with since.e relief to
pillow her fair young head upon a
bosom behind which lurked no threat
OF heart failure.

The Point of View.

When General Leonard Wood was
asked TO explain the discrepancies be
tween his testimony regarding rations
before the war board and the letter
which his late lieutenant colonel Of
the Rough Riders. Governor Roosevelt.
wrote To General Miles on the subject.
he smiled and remarked: Are you
trying TO get me into trouble with
Teddy"
NO: but you say the rations We're
good and he says they We're bad. and
you both Were there together"
