In this country there are very few
little girls now who have their ears
pierced for earrings, but In China every
little girl baby as soon as It is a year
old has her ears pierced. They pinch
the lower part Of the little ones ears
until they are quite numb and then
stick sharp needle through with a
red cotton thread, on one end Of which
IS 3 Little blue bead, which Is left
there. Sometimes the little Chinese
baby does not want its ears pierced,
and then its mamma pierces htty's ears
% show how easy Il Is, and that nearly
always makes baby willing. With the
binding OF their feet 70 make them
small, and the piercing Of their ears,
the little Chinese girls do not have
a very nice time Of it.-Cincinnai In

Costume1-

The blue foulard silks are always
more favored at each recurring spring
season than any pattern IN black,
b-eHn or green. This year the satin
fouIards and the thinner Iusterless fOu-
lard silks show an unusual number Of
shades in blue, including indigo, RO-
man, brakes neck silver, navy blue
bell, peacock and eiel. PoIka-dots, small
diamond shapes, Termicelh and coral
designs PredOminats among the blue
foulards for cool travelling, beach and
walking costumes. They are trimmed
with friIls Of the silk and have plain
silk vest and stock collar.
The OYerdresses and tunics with one
seam and no fUIlness at the top, sue
cessfuIly launched last winter by few
fashion leaders, have now been taken
up by the majority Of weIl-gowned
women, and by the first Of the summer
months we shall see them worn in
every possible guise and made Of every
sort Of seasonable and appropriate
fabric.
Ecru, cream and ivory laces and in
sertions are laTishly used on demi-
dress toilets Of French foulard, In
dis silk, or soft liberty satin in sPrigged
or pOIka-dotted effects. The addition
Of fun chiffon vest is frequently made,
but this is adjustable and can. be
changed for q gilet Of more durable
sort. Where lace is not desired on any
part Of the gown, rows Of velvet rib
bon are more frequently substituted
than trimming Of any other descrip-
ton.
Models Of summer toilets show fine
tucking employed in diagonal, dia-
mOnd-shaped and horizontal forms.
Epaulettes are tucked, as are cuffs, the
edges Of TUNES, peplum ends, and tiny
applied basques-
The Anderson checked and striped
zephyr ginghams appear in a number
Of odd and beautiful cOlor-mixturest this
season. Some Of the French zephyrs
appear with satin-like bars crossing
delicate surface, the blocks between
dotted in a color matching the satin
lines, and the pink, violet, stem green,
and other dainty organizes have wild
rose and foliage, mignOnette, margue-
rite and other floral, scroll or bOwknot
borderings.
Many OF the newest Jokes, guimpes
and blouse fronts to wear under basque
bOdices are made with minute tucks
across the yoke or guimpe, a style very
becoming to slender forms. but by no
means favorable to those needing moth
ing to accentuate width. Horizontal
trimmings are the most popular, but
they are best suited to tall, slender
women.
Considerable use is made Of machine
stitched bands Of the costume facric on
tailor suits Of pigue and linen These
are arranged upon the gown after the
manner of the bands on cloth gowns,
small white pearl buttons being sub
stituted for those Of guimp or bone.
Gray OF dark-blue linen suits are
trimmed with insertion bands Of white
embroidery, sometimes dotted or
striped with cherry-red- Deep ecru all
over trimmings and bands are used
on fawn-cOlOred Hollands and grass
linens in the form Of Jokes, guimPes,
epaulettes and edgings.-N. Y. Post.

There IS plenty Of bogus auction
eering nowadays said the old auction
I GER. 1T appears 20 me as though the
good people are being driven out Of
the business by the fellows who sell
I poor stuff Anyway, the auction rooms
where they handle high-elass goods, Sc
cured legidmately to sell on commits
sion, are not supported BY the public.
p 7. Barnum said the people ike to
be fooled, and he hit the nail on the
head.
You take these, what I call, low
class auctioneers- One Of their games
is to stock a house with shOddy stuff,
engage a family to remain there a
month or two and then announce a
private sale Laying a foundation for
such play is not considered reputable
by the better class Of members Of our
profession The thing smacks of the
same sort OF procedure as the piano
swindle, upon which residents in large
cities ought to be literally educated il
they read the papers. But they are not,
and, like the green-goOds game, the
gOld-brick swindle and all the rest, the
piano auction or the piano private sale
continues to thrive. In many parts Of
the country there are men who follow
this the same as a reporter hunts news.
The swindle lies in the fact that good,
round sum is obtained for a second
grade piano on the plea that it is being
sacrificed to aid the poor widow, a fam
ily~ in distress, and SO on
THAT sort Of auction is not mate
rally different from the sO-caIled
widows sale Of fast, blooded stock.
Her husband died in Kentucky and left
her with a stable Of running, trOtting
and road and blood stock, which she,
being very, very poor, must sell at auc-
ton, etc. She is usually there, a poor,
fOrlOrn widow, in long crepe veil, near
the auctiOneer; and she sees the sec
Ond-grade, broken-dOwn, winded ami
mails disposed Of at high prices, while
she wipes q tear from her eye with
blaek-bordered handkerchief
There are as many tricks to the auc-
ton business as there are in other
trades. 4 woman has household goods
which she wishes to sell, and, being ig-
nOrant Of the various ways Of doing
business, decides to have some one in
the secondhand business hold the sale
at her house. The fact is duly adver-
tised, the red flag is swung from the
porch, the neighbOrs call and walk Gu
riously through the room and decide
to do something for her, but the auc-
tiOneer soon starts in, and all plans are
OF. When the sale is over the poor
woman finds that her household arti-
eles, which cost her $500, have
brought less than ten cents on the dol
lar.
who bought the goods? In her ex-
element, in the commOtion, in the
midst Of the wild alarms Of the auc-
tioneer, she failed to observe, and she
may never know, that nearly all her
property was bought by a dealer, the
friend and confdant Of the auctiOneer;
in fact, by the auctioneer's own silent
partner, to whom he knocked them
down at the very lowest rates. hope
that some day we viii have legislation
that viii drive 'em out Of business" -

WHITE OR BROWN BREAD7
The Former IL Declared By Scientists
to he the More NJ
tr1tfouB.

The oft-rePeated debate between the
advocates respectively Of the white and
brown breads is now again being re-
neWed. DR.. Andrew Wilson takes the
side Of the brown, while DR.. Lauder
Burton writes in praise of the white,
and he is supported by several other
contributors. These latter profes-
SIGNALS are firm In the belief, after hav-
ing made Investigations into the ques-
ton, that white bread is more nutri-
tiOUs than the brown variety. The lat
ter has its merits, Of course. It tends to
remove the tOrpidity Of the digestive
system which too often occurs in per
sons of sedentary habits, and supplies
also mineral matters-especiaIly phOs-
phate Of lime-needed for bone-build-
ing. But the white bread also supplies
mineral items, and as regards fat It is
said TO afford a larger proportion Of this
important food than the brown bread.
The great point our investigators lay
stress on however, Is the Importance Of
judging the value Of a food by physio-
logical rather than by q purely chemical
criterion It is one thing to say that any
food shows under analysis large pro
portion Of this or that nutriment, and
quite another thing to assert that it can
be easily assimilated, or, in other words,
that its nutriments can be easily OBJ
tanned by the body for the ultimate pur-
pose OF nOurishment. White bread over
tops the brown in this latter respect,
and so we may rest content to know
that in the ordinary loaf we have a
typical enough representative Of the
stan OF lfe.-LOndOn illustrated News.

CHINESE COURT HISTORIANS
work II seereG Until the
Dynasty Ends

There are court historians in China as
there are in other countries, but there
is one striking difference, and it lies in
the fact that the work of the Chinese
court historians does not see the light
until the reigning dynasty comes to an
end.
IN this way these Celestial historians
have no opportunity to describe most
truthfully the virtues and vices Of the
various rulers and the real significance
Of the events which take place during
their regime. They can write what
they please without fear Of censure, for
they know that their work viii not be
published as long as the reigning dy-
nasty lastz-
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years, the first court historians
having been appointed by the imperial
house OF Han, which reigned from 2O6
B. c. until Is AID.
The duty OF these historians is to
write q plain account Of all the events
that occur during their tenure Of ONCE
At regular intervals their completed
work Is taken from them and Is locked
up In an iron safe or vault. There it re-
mains until the first member OF a new
dynasty aseends the throne.
IL e then given with al the other his
tories in the vault 70 the court historian,
who 8 then living, and from the mass Of
documents he Is expected 20 prepare q
truthful history Of the dynasty which
has just expired. The present dynasty
has been zeigning since 1914, and con
sequentlT no court history has been
Pubiished since that date.-Chicagc
