but come from China by way of San
Francisco, and are not "a common gar
ment. One difference between them
and the American stocking is that they
are neither so short as that OF the ordi-
nary citizen nor as long as that of the
schoolboy. The top reaches just below
the knee, and the stockings are made
OF peculiar kind of Worsted, very
finely knitted and very warm. This
completes the winter garb of the
Chinaman, which he afiirms keeps him
as warm as h. wants to be.
Many of the top coats worn by them
are wadded all over on the inside with
cotton, in almost the same way as a
foot ball player pads his trousers. A
Chinaman will frequently start the day
with all his coats on and feeling cold
AS the day gets warmer and the tenn
perature of the laundry rises he will
begin to shed coats until he has on
only two or three. AS a rule he is
very imprudent in regard to his health
and rarely gets through a winter with

carelessnesS in going out without all
his coats on or taking too many off to
get cool There is art in regulating
the number to take off or put on at
certain temperatures.
Very few Cinnamon wear anything
like a collar about their nccks, as the
various coats fit so closely to the neck
that the wind cannot get down their
backs. Gloves are another article that
are not worn except in rare cases, as
the VOluminOuS sleeves form the best
kind Of muff for the hands and keep
them much warmer than mittcnS or
gloves. There are some Cinnamon
who wear in the winter time regular
suits of flannel underwear instead of
the silk or Worsted shirt, which hangs
considerably below the waist. The
Chinaman does not wear suspenders
but keeps his jeans up by means Of a
Chinese belt made out of silk, heavily
braided.
A Chinaman has one style Of hat-a
black soft felt hat-which meets all his
requirements, Wong Wing says that

side of his own person, however, he
prefers red to any other color. He
drapes his washstands, his iron boards
and his entire room with red cloth. All
his tapestries are red, and the sign
with which he announces his name and
business Is red. Red is the religious
color of the Chinese, and the presence
of red in a laundry always denotes
that the proprietor has not yet been
Christianized. while the lack OF this
color is said to be clear proof that he

How John Keeps Cool in Summer
and Warm in Winter.

A singular thing about a Chinaman is
that, so far as outside appearances go,
he dresses himself exactly alike, both
winter and summer.
He appears neither more bulky nor
thinner as the seasons go by, and the
style, cut and texture of his rament
unless searching Investigations are
made, seem unchanged. However, as
the winter weather comes on. the snow
begins to fall, and the chill winds to
whistle through the cracks in his laun-
dry, or other place of business. he does
make certain changes in his wearing
apparel. which. while they do not show
up on the outside, have the required eff
feet Of keeping him warm and comfort
able.
In the summer time the Chinaman
wears as few clothes as permitted by
custom The wide, flowing silk coat,
with balloon sleeves, equally wide
jeans, and a glimpse Of white stocking
in the shoe are all he thinks it neces-
sary to wear. other articles are re-
garded as superfuous
At this time of the year such a Chi
naman has concealed beneath this
same silk coat and jeans a variety OF
things designed to keep him warm
During cold weather the un-American-
lied Chinaman wears at least six or
seven coats. When he rises early on
a cold winters morning the first thing
he reaches for, as a rule, is a silk or
worsted coat which he dons, tight
fitting to the skin. Then he hastily
gets into a worsted blouse, made in

Of the Chinese. and then has two or
three silk coats to put on, which are
followed by a closely knit muslin coat
another silk coat, and the top coat, or
blouse. This last is so made that no
suggestion is given of the others un-
derneath. 1t never bulges, and no
flag or edge of the undercoatS shows.
His jeans are put on next, underneath
which he wears a closer-ftting pair Of
silk jeans. 1t particularly chilly, he
wears extra pairs of the silk jeans. The
outside jeans are made out of heavy
muslin, as is also at times the winter
top coat
Concerning his stockings and his feet,
the Chinaman who still adheres to his
native customs in wearing clothes has
trouble. According to the statement
Of Wong Wing, an intelligent China
man living at 1911 Riggs avenue, no
Chinaman who still processes the reli-
gion of his forefathers is permitted
to wear shoes or boots closed over the
ankle, unless he is a priest. Conse-
quently in winter the only protection
Ior his feet that the Chinaman has is
heavy stockings and having very thick
cork and worsted soes put on his
shoes. The stockings of the China

THE JURY SYSTEM.
Some Familiar, but True, Comments

Law Notes.

Trial by jury is said to be one OF
the noblcst institutions of the COM
mon law, but we do not think that the
judges aud lawyers Of former DAYS
would ever have tolerated such a jury
system as exists today i'm our pOpulous
cities. The SCandllOuS condition of af-
fairs that has been recently unearthel

and when jury is to he secured, and
who on such occasions emerge from
their holes like angle worms ON moist
spring dav.
These men are in close touch with
the ward heelers and the subordinate
court functionaries and are ready ami
willing to collect political debts, and
anxious to serve as Jurors for a con-
sideratio And it is to such men that
too frequently our lives, our liberty
and our property rights are intrust-
ed. The individuals engaged in "the
pursuit OF happiness" and money, COM
monty called prominent business
mon," will not serve as Jurors. They
have not time TO do 50; and besides,
they are opposed to capital punish
ment: they would not convict q man
of crime on Circumstantial evidence,
they have prejudices against corpora
tions, they have formed and expressed
an opinion, and sometimes they have
been known to be sick. Is II surpris-

Over burdened
Women.

Many a man sees his wife bend and
tug at burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage. Children follow in too quick
succession to allow the mother time to
rcCuperate. The womanly organs become
displaced, there are debilitating disagree
able drains, with the added pain of in
famed or liberated parts. In this condi-
tion the woman bravely tries to carry her
household load, afraid TO take the rest she
needs lest meal will be late. No wonder
she is pale, weak, wretChed, surly Of tenn
per and suappish of tongue She would
be false to nature if she were anything else.
No persons need help so much as the class
of whom this woman is the type. And for
such women no help is so sure, so wonder
tul, as that given by DIR. Pierce's FaVorite

organs to perfect health. 1t establishes

can be found, but certain of both are sure to be more popular than others. For instance, among the native Pari- sians the brighter colors will be the ones most worn, while the softer tones will be worn more by the foreigners, es- pecially the American and English women. Of the bright colors none will be worn more than the reds, and they are certainly pretty, even though little loud according 10 the Anglo Saxon view But the Parisian women like the reds and pinls because they are especially becoming to their type of beauty Every shop therefore has a generous supply of red silks in all the various designs, and in all qualities.
 One reason why the softer tones will be popular, however, is because of the designs in which they are offered. The season shows decided revival in Louis KY. and Louis XV. and Pompadour designs, and the best effect in these de- signs is procured in the softer tones.
 Never before were the cheaper grades of silk shown in such pretty de- signs as this spring. There are narrow stripes, cheeks and wavy effects all in

ural outcome of years of close compan- ionship.
 During the years while Jerome was away at college, spending only part of the summer vacation at home, Kate had become conscious of change in his attitude toward her. She yainly strove against this consciousness, and it became stronger and stronger as the time went by, and when Jerome grad uated, and came home to study law in his fathers office, for Judge Selden had now retired from the bench, nothing was said between the betrothed about their marriage, although their engage ment was tacitly and as a matter of course allowed to stand.
 Now there happened to be visiting the Seldens on this Valentines day d certain rosy-cheeked lass from the country, with a freckle or two on her slightly turned up nose, a wealth of curly brown hair, and the most saucy, impid, observing pair of blue eyes in the world. With this young creature. whose name was Peggy Loveday, Tom Grigsby, the son of a prosperous grocer whose overtime house was next door to Judge Selden's, had fallen desperately in love. Peggy was not watching Kate when she looked at her valentine at breakfast that morning, She looked very narrowly at Jerome instead and was delighted to observe his evident interest in Rates valentine.
 The gorgeous contrivance of rose colored scented satin was passed from hand to hand until it reached Jerome, and he, when he once had it within his grasp, proceeded to read with unnec- essary emphasis the rhymes printed in gold about hearts and darts, loves and doves, near and dear, and all the pre- cious eommonplaces which grow as by natural right, and blossom about the middle of February every year.
 "Who sent it?" cried Alice, the youngest girl at the table, and then they all laughed over Kate's declara- tion that she did not know and could not imagine.
 It was only the rosy-eheeked cousin who noticed that Jerome followed Kate into the library after breakfast, and remained there with her for little while, coming out looking a little flushed and angry whenshe rejoined the

about the little rift within the lute" which had almost made her music mute, and when, toward the end of her visit, Jerome announced by telegram that he was coming to escort her home, there was no happier girl in the world than Kate Hillard.
 The pair were married on the first day of April, Jerome insisting upon that date for the wedding tor reasons, he said, which were personal to himself and which he would not disclose.
 Peggy Loveday danced her satin shoes into ribbons at the wedding, but the story of Kate's valentine remained forever a secret between Peggy and the patron saint of lovers. This secret shall now be made public matter, for Saint Valentine is, of all saints, the one who is garrulous.
 It happened on the St. Valentines morning with which this true tale opens, thatPeggy, coming down early to breakfast, had found, addressed to herin a big, round hand, inclosed in two en- velopes, a great rose-colored satin and gold valentine, with it's price mark still upon it, and she knew in a moment it was tribute from her admirer next door. From no impulse in the world, but just for fun, and to tease Jerome" Peggy threw the envelope addressed to herself into the dining-room fire, and, first erasing the lead pencil price mark, slipped the valentine back into it's sec ond unaddressed envelope and ran into the library. Here she carefully ad- dressed the letter to Miss Kate Hilliard in bold hand, with many unmeaning fourishes and curlycues of the pen, and then she laid the pretentious missive by Rates plate. All that followed, so far as Peggy had been concerned, was for the further delectable purpose of teasing Jerome," her handsome cousin, and 1t was not until Jerome in- sisted upon the first day of April for his wedding, declaring that for Kate the day was one of peculiar appropri- ateness, since then she was to marry him, did Peggy decide never to tell who sent Kate's valentineg For she had mother-wit, had Peggy, and could put two and two together and so the se- cret remained between her and the good Saint Valentine until this day.

bright tones, but the small designs kills the gaudy effect very materially. In the more expensive varieties both the designs and colorings are more on the classic order.
 One Of the prettiest novelties which
 saw was in a summer silk made with a cord effect. It is shown in stripes in all colorings, but the cord is always white. l saw some new waists made of this and they were the prettiest have seen.
 Another novelty that is much less ex- pensive is a wash silk of India cor dome, in both medium cheeks and stripes. and also with the white cord running through it. In both of these varieties the cord is sometimes seen singly about one-half inch apart and sometimes in groups of three with a half-inch between the groups.

 The possibilities of the little island are many. Chief among them is it's adaptability to the production of eof- lee. Experts who have visited it say that it has the climate and the soil to produce coffee the equal or superior ol that secured from either Hawaii or the Central American republics. The fish cries also promise well, and trade witt the whaling vessels from the north fr fresh meats, fruits and other provisions was once and might be again an impor- tant factor in it's commerce.
 But it will not take progressive Amer iea long to make the most of these op- portunities. A part of the vast amount of capital that is seeking a place for profitable investment in our new ter ritory will find an opening in Guam, and in a few years it will again take prominent place among the islands of the Pacific.
 The amusing story of the capture of Guam has been told before, but is SC interesting that it will bear repetition in this connection.

 The other waist which I desire the artist to show is much more elaborate.

lulu under sealed orders. With him were two troopships filled with reen- foreements for Gen. Otis at Manila When he read his orders after putting to sea he found that he was to stop at the Ladrones and capture Agana. Sailing into the harbor some days later he began vigorous bombardment of the place and the few Spanish fortifca- tions. As the thirteenth shell from a three-pounder was fired Spanish lieu tenant left the shore in a launch and started for the cruiser. Capt. Glass ordered the firing to cease, and was much surprised when the lieutenant came aboard, and after presenting the compliments of the governor general, informed the American officer that his salute would be returned just as soon as sufficient powder could be borrowed with which to do the firing. The Span iard was equally surprised when he was informed that a state of war existed between the United States and Spain. and the surrender of the islands was demanded.
 It was not until the next morning. June 21, that the official surrender of Agana and the whole Ladrone group
