CHINESE HISTORY.
1t Dates hack to the Time When
Ancient Nineveh Was a Great
Metropolis.

The authentic history and biography
of China is doubtless the oldest in the
world, even antedating that of the
Jews. Those familiar with it's chronol-
ogy state that it embraces period
from the year 122 of our era back to the
remote period of 1907 years before
Christ. The historians of China en-
brace a succession of uninterrupted Sc
ries of more than 2,400 years. The full
and continuous history of the empire
was compiled in the second century of
our era.
The great libraries of Picking contain
volumes of books numbered by the hun
dreds of thousands. In the archives of
the government are still to be found
the ancient predictions of eciipses made
with great accuracy, together with
works of astronomy which show fair
knowledge of that interesting science.
Biographies, very succinctly written,
of the emperors of the most ancient
dynasties still exist and written works
of learned men are as voluminous as
those of European nations. And all this
learning and love of learning has been
acquired without help or suggestion
from any foreign people. If their au-
thentic histories reach back to nearly
five centuries ago mystical history
reaches still further back into the very
night of time.
When Nineveh and Babylon were in
the splendor of their might men in
China were predicting eclipses, making
catalogues and giving names to the
stars. But Nineveh and Babylon were
mere mounds of earth and rubbish
when China was great, and to this date
the civilization and life of the empire is
the wonder of the world.-Chicago

MRS. CHOATE AS \ SUFFRAGIST.
When Mrs. Joseph Choate sails away
with her gifted husband, who has been

Mrs. Choate is a charming woman, and
one Of the pillars of the suffragist tenn
pie as it stands in the midst of smart
society.
For years the workers for woman's
rights had no hearing or following

Choate, however, became thoroughly

After the death CT Calvin Brice his
wife and daughters held a sale Of theil
wardrobes al their home in New York.
Society has attended too many of These
safes on account OF going into mourn
ing to evince anything but shrewd in
terest in the bargains offered.
The first person to inaugurate this
thrifty treatment of the mourning
problem was Mrs. Marshall O.. Roberts.
On the death CT her husband she had
just completed her outfit for winter
spiendorc, and her mourning represent
ed Il loss OF nearly $4,000. With excel
lent business sense she hired two rooms
at fashionable hotel, every colorei
! garment in her possession was sent and
artfuliy disposed about the apartments,
and a capable saleswoman and assist
ant were put in charge. Cards were
written announcing the sale and posted
| to all Mrs. Roberts friends and. after
| society got over its first shock. a rush
! ing business was done in those two no

1t is safe to say that not only did
Mrs. Roberts not lose a cent on her
wardrobe, but actually sold everything
at marked profit. The women came

a curious feature of these sales is
that absolutely no credit is given. The
proceedings are conducted on a. cash
basis. and you are at liberty to try and
beat down the price to the very best of
your ability. Another peculiar fact is
that invariably everything is sold, even
to pairs Of old golf stockings with hole;

Sometimes, as in the case of Miss

lady prefers TO conduct her own enter

that even the sincerest grief cannot
blind a clever woman to the advantages
of driving a sharp bargain. When these
sales are personally conducted it is Gus

of spring coats. The women whose
clothes are guides and beacon lights to
their sisters, are setting out for the

they take with them serve as perfect

All the youthful and slender women,

full hips and bust should presume to
assume one OF these little garments, fer
manifestly the jaunty cut of it Will only
display her rotund proportions to the
most ludicrous disadvantage.
The plump, short person can in all
safety, though. claim as her own the
coat with the beetle tails; the coat
that is a swift cutaWay over the hips
and drops its rear skirts to the wear
er's knee or even to her heels. There
is only one great drawback 10 this
wrap: it does net lend itself to sue
cessful make in the hands Of any but
an expert tailor. Still the beetle backs
are bound to have a season OF great
popular exaltation, though il requires
no great acumen to decide that one
season will round out their existence.
The style of the garment, like the pre-
vailing cut of skirts is too exaggerated
