THE HOME LIFE OF CHINA.

Laura B. Starr, who for several years
resided in China and who had great fac
ilities for understanding the feminine
side of Chinese life, contributes to the
October DeleneaCor an article that throws
much light on the home life of Chinese
women. This article is illustrated with
several authenic photographs of Chinese
women of various social positions. The
October number of The Delineator. in
in addition to Miss Starts article and the
eighty or more sketches of preseet-day
styles, which are prominent features Of
the magazine, contains twenty other val

On the first of July the Pure
Food law of Illinois went into ef-
feet, and the advocates Of stringent
legislation to prevent the adultera-
ton of foods and the fraudulent
sale of limitations have hoped to
learn something from the expert
ence of that State. 1t provides
that all impure food articles, Of
whatever character, shall be plainly
marked to indicate what they are.
The dealers, for the most part, ex-
pressed their willingness to com
ply with the statute. However.
all we are to learn from the expert
ence of Illinois is that the measure
is impracticable. A decision has
been made by the Judge Of the
Criminal Court in Chicago which
will kill the law if the higher court
sustains the ruling. 1t is in effect
that the prosecution must prove
that the seller Of unmarked adul-
terated articles had guilty knowI
edge Of the character of the goods
sold. In most cases, Of course,
this cannot be done.

MINING PIONEERS OF RHoDESIA

From 1889 to 1898 Is long period to
elapse before the stage of commercial

that there was more disposition to
speculate in gold-mining shares than
to settle down TO hard work though 1t
