II would not he strange II, within
fifty years, the Chinese themselves
becoming masters in the industrial
arts, should be the foremost to urge
the Open Door policy, and seek an
outlet for their products in every d.
rection.
Lord .Beresford does not speculate
about the course of events in China.
He looks at the errors OF the day and
the hour, and suggests the remedy at
hand. He sees the enormous embank-
ment OF racial habits In the Chinese
which must be leveled down, and he
suggests the practical methods of do
ing 1t. II the central government is
made strong and intelligent, it will in
time defeat the raids Of Russia, and
meet her with an overwhelming force
Before the time comes for her to as
sert her power a vast amount of work
must be done, under the instruction of
the nations who will simply insist on
fair play.

American Exhibits at Paris.

Hundreds Of American horseless car
riages and vehicles Of all kinds will be
seen on the streets Of Paris during the
great universal exposition of 1900.
Contracts have recently been let in
various cities In the United States,
notably Chicago, for the building and
equipping Of about 5000 electrical car
riages. American railroads are pre-
pairing to make extensive exhibits at
the Paris Exposition, and some Of
them will be full Of novel and striking
ideas. One plan, which has already
received the approval Of a number of
the leading railroad companies, pro-
vides for the construction of an enor-
nous upright relief or profile map Of
the United States, on which every line
Of railroad in the country will be
marked by electrical devices-New

Suicide Of q Canary.

George Marth, Of Carmel, n. Y, had
a canary which committed suicide the
other day. The bird was valuable and
his wife thought the world of 1T. A
short time ago its mate died from old
age and ever after that the little song
ster appeared to be morose and acted
strangely. On the day of the birds
death Mrs. Marth gave him q dish of
water in which 1t daily took bath.
Instead Of doing so, and while its
mistress was out Of sight, the canary
buried its head beneath the water and
drowned.--New York Press.

It seems strange that with freedom
to come and 60 civilized men should
choose to dwell In q region 20 terribly
bleak and sterile as Labrador. Yet of
the S.70O inhabitants OF that great
peninsular, 1900 are OF the white or
mixed race. They mainly are descen-
dants Of English sailors, some Of whom
were shipwrecked and more Of whom
probably left their ships without leave.
Finding themselves stranded on this
lonely shore. they made the best of
their lot, marrying Eskimo wives and
living after tile manner Of the country.
In later times some Newfoundlanders
chose rather to settle In Labrador
than make the uncomfortable trips to
and fro yearly from st. Johns for the
annual codnshing on the. Labrador
shores. These brought their wives
and children with them and intro
duced q new strain OF civilized life.
All Of these people live In little set
Elements strung along the coast, on
islands or III fords, from Battle Har-
Dor south . to the Gulf Of st. Law
renee. They dwell In houses Of stone
or logs. An winter they wear hooded
fur garments like the Eskimos; in
summer the ordinary garb Of New
foundland fishermen. The women
dress In gray or blue woollen stun,
with a gaudy gown for best. On their
heads they wear 4 knit hood or q
brlght-colored handkerchief, and, II
may be, at out-of-door work or abroad
on the water, mans sou'wester.
Against the walls in their houses are
pasted such pictures as they have
been able to clip from the few news
papers that fall in their way, adver-,
tising Autographs that have come with
goods to the trading stores, and pic
lures Of thes ort issued by tract So
cieties. On the table or shelf in the
living room is always q Bible, reli-
giously read on Sunday when the cod
are not biting or fare Of fish to be
dressed and faxed. 1t is a devout
and sober-minded community, that of
the whites along the coast Of Labra-
dor. Their religious ministrations are
provided by the Moravians, who have
several missions in Labrador; their
temperance is assured by stringent
laws forbldding the landing Of any
liquors In Labrador, and these are
made effective by thorough patrol
by tho Dominion revenue steamships,
which deal inexorably with suugglers
Of strong water.

Election day in Chicago is product
i've Of many amusing incidents. At an
election booth in Milwaukee avenue,
the judge was German, whose worth

ever, an active ward hustler, and as
such he always stands ace high with
his party during campaigns.

not known to the Judge, and the latter
asked:

FORCE OF HABIT ON CHILDREN.

Dr. Henry Frank spoke before the Mothers Con-
gress and Aid Association OF the City of New
York yesterday afternoon at st. Stephens Chapel.
No 5Tk West Forty-sixth His subject was
the Force OF Habit" and his plea was for chill
dren. He showed how usual It Is for mother to
unconsciously attempt to mould a chid's life and
form its habits from her manner OF thinking.
He explained how this hindered the individuality
OF the child's acknowledgment.
While he would not, he said, like Rousseau allow
a child to grow up entirely without direction or
training he would study the development Of char
acteristcs Pointing out the psychological denhi-
ton of originality DR.. Frank showed how. IN
snite OF being a conglomerate Of millions of pre-
vious lives and experiences. the separate self the
real ego. must have opportunity 10 work out us
own development If the child Is 10 become
worthy man or a helpful woman.
The importance of the child early forming the
habit of thinking for itself dwelt upon with
that Of physical habits to be inculcated In sucn a
way as 10 seem TO have been OWNED by the child.

ILLUSTRATED MUSICAL TALK.
THE FIFTH IN THE COURSE GIVEN BY Ed
GAR STILLMAN KELLEY AT PRl-
NATE HOIrSES

VATE HOUSES.
The usual audience that has been attending the
illustrated musical talks given by Edgar Stillman
Kelley gathered yesterday afternoon for the hfth
lecture in the course. The meeting was at the home
OF Mrs. Richard Ewart. No. rs West Thirty-ninth-
st. Mr. Kelley took up the works Of Chopin and OF
Savonc composers He drew attention to the
polonaise of Chopin, showing it TO be the stately
court dance and said significant feature In these
dances the precedence given to age over mere
youth and beauty. II is at the close Of the mus-
cal phrase in polonaise. Mr. Kelley said. that it's
characteristic form will be found 1t is similar to
the bolero OF the Spanish music. and selection
played from a composition of Verdis to show
the distinguishing feature. the bolero closing the
heavy beat the polonaise on the weakest OF the
measure.
Mr.. Kelley added that his claim was only i'm
pressonistc.' 1t was not alone as an interpreter
Of Polish that Chopin showed genius. the
lecturer said out he displayed 1t in compositions
Of an abstract kind, that spoke universal Ian
guage Thus he refuted the Idea that once pre-
vailed that he would write nothing that would
stand the test OF time. More than this Chopin In
vented new harmonic designs and developed me
the Eastern music was supplemented by the refine
ment of Western thought.
Ii shown how the warlike spirit created by
John Huss and which prevailed long after his exc
cution, was embodied in the music OF Bohemia.
The dances that originated during the Hussite
wars were kept up. and while the popular Bo-
hemian songs are now cheerful as 10 text they are
set to tho melancholy music which dlstin-
guishe1 the earlier compositions. Funeral feasts
observed were described as being almost festi-
walls OF song and dance, though always the music
Is somewhat dirgelike. Mrs. Kelley illustrated the
lecture by playing many selections from the works
OF Chopin.
