Women Favor
Boxers

The women of China are said to IA
vor the Boxers because, like the wom-
en- Of most other lands, they are the
religious sex. Looking at foreigners,
whether they be engaged in evangeliz-
Ing or commerce, as the enemies of
their religion, they want them driven
out of the country. They look to the
Boxers to accomplish this. Women in
themselves capable of acts of great
heroism, measured by the standards
or their own country. The great Ii
Hung Chang petitioned the empress
TO reward two women of position for
acts which would never have been Sc
lected here for particular distinction.
One of these was a daughter of the
chinese minister to London, who mar
.ried at very early age man who
she had scarcely known, for, in ac-
cordance with the Chinese custom she
had no hand in the selection of her
husband. Her family looked after that
and she married him at the appointed
time. 1t is a lucky thing for the
women of country that has such GUS
toms that they are sometimes able to
fall in love with their husbands after
marriage. This seventeen-year-ol
bride was able to do that and her de-
votion to this husband took a form
that seems remarkable to western
ideas. When he was i'll and could eat
nothing she cut off slice of her arm
and put it in the broth prepared for
him. Whether she thought this treat
nent would cure him or not, he died.
Then she took poison and when the
physicians saved her life against her
will she refused to eat and starved to
death. Ii Hung Chang petitioned the
empress for some mark of the esteem
in which such a faithful wife should
be held and it was granted to the
woman's family and also to her sister
in-law, who was sister to no less a
person than the Marquis Tseng. This
over, she tried to kill herself after
her husbands DEATH but yielded, after
several unsuccessful attempts to the
persuasion of her relatives and con-
sented to live on condition that she
be allowed to devote her time to man
aging the estate of her husbands IA
ther, who was at the time Chinese am
bassador to London. This privilege
was granted to her and she felt that
by dedicating her life to the material
good of her husbands family she had

War on


New York has been waging war on
awful noise for many months, and
with what result it is difficult to tell,
for ungodly sounds still prevail in that
metropolis But now Boston seems
to be in the same plight, and it would
very much like to know if the nerves
of that larger city have been benefited
by those demands of the newspapers
for less noise in the conduct OF affairs.
Where to begin, or what to do to miti-
gate the affliction, Is problem for in
ditiduals to consider in all its aspects.
Whether the crash and below OF
steam locomotives, the clang of cleo
trio gongs, the shrieks of steam whis-
ties, and the shouts of hoodlums, are
responsible for the present condition
of the nervous system, or whether
humanity in it's superfine civilization,
has become oversensitive, must be de-
termined by study and investigation of
cause and effect. A Cambridge man,
complaining of this increase of noise
the otner day, said he had observed a
difference between motormen in his
daily travel to town, for some rang the
gong necessarily, where there was
really no need to sound it, while others
keenly on the alert, pressed the but
ton when some object appeared in
sight or street was to be crossed.

ADVICE-MASCULINE.

While Cupid sways this mundane
sphere,
And men are only human,
She is most wise who won't appear
Too reasonable a woman
Alack that fate ordained it SO!
IT'S passing melancholy;
But naught that Reason e'er can show
Is half so sweet as Folly.
In arrant whims some witchcraft lies
That logic ever misses,
And common sense looks plain to eyes
That seek capricious blisses;
While unto every lovers fire
It adds a wealth of fuel
If she who doth his love inspire
Is sometimes rather cruel.
Know what you will, mesdames, but
know
The acme Of all knowledge
Is Tact, albeit we cannot show
It's chair in any college.
Keep some small foibles,-for l deem
You have them, being human
And so be what you do not seem
A reasonable woman

Never impose yourself upon your

yourself agreeable.

that they are properly called Ca-
