The work Of women IN America
seems to do much good in many ways.
Tae charities and the care Of the sick
and poor receive much attention from
women here, | have noticed. | think
the feeling exists among women
everywhere 10 help the weak and
fgiendless, and many noble women in
China engage in charitable work, But
they have less to do with public
charity than women in the United
States, because most of their time is
given to the home and family. They
want above everything else to have
their children clean ana worthy, with
good minds and hearts. They prac
tice strictly the saying | have heard
here, that charity begins at home"
Chinese mothers, like American, are
ambitious for their children, too. They
want them to be successful, but they
know there are successes beyond
those of wealth They walt them to
be happy and healthy. So do Ameri-
can women wish the same for their
children They have different ways of
proceeding only As | have said, wo
men are much alike the world over,
In matters OF dress, OF course, the
women of the western world differ
conspiciously from those of the east.
Here styles are changing constantly
with the years and seasons, almost
with the days. In the east 1t Is not so.
The cut and style "emain the same;
novelty is not sought in fabrics silks
ere most used. These are richly en-
broidered, both the undergarments
and the overgarments. The women of
China are skillful needlewomen, and
most of the work on their clothes is
done at home. Among the poorer
classes wooden and cotton are used
for the coarser working garments.
The shape of the garments is designed
to cover the person, not to fit it tight
ly, and beauty is secured in the tex
,ure and embroidery, instead of from
odd shapes and frillS and furbelos.
There is no such thing as low neck
and short sleeves in China, and it is
a long established custom that the
folds of the garment must be quite
ample. The trousers worn by us
Chinese woman deems indispensable
to modest attire. When American,
French, English-your civilized wo-
uen-yisit our country, I cannot say
which feature of their dress shocks
Chinese women most whether the
decoHete cut Of the evening bodice or
the fact that they wear no trousers. |

who advocate boomers, and how i'm
modest this is thought to be here, If
the boomers covered the leg to the
ankle, Chinese women would regard
them a vast improvement on your
present style OF apparel

mean chat we think women are fit
only to do homework. On the con-
trary, most Of our housework Is done
by men. Among foreigners who have
experience in our country 1t Is say
ing that the Chinese cook is second
only to the French, and the Chinese
house servant is second only 10 the
German serving man. The work OF
woman among us Is to bear children
and it is desired that she shall be free
from the burden of toll, SO that she
may have time and strength to rear
her family well and to make her
home happy. The Chinese mother Is
most anxious for the welfare OF her
children, watching them with great
care as they grow up. She attends to-
the education of the daughters, and
the father directs the education OF the
sons. The family tie is very strong
among my people and the love and
attention which parents give to the
bringing up of children is equaled
only by the veneration and respect
which children show toward their
parents. This family love is part of
the nature, the religion, the history
and tradition OF China.
The custom of calling and of hold
ing receptions which is so generally
observed in this and other western
countries is observed also in the
east, but not always in the same way.
Among people in official position
calls are exchanged and these often
lead to close acquaintance. But
among private families there is not
so much calling as in this country,
and the calls are among acquaintance
and relatives. Entire strangers are
very seldom brought together, and If
they should meet, it does not at once
establish an acquaintance or warrant
meeting soon again. American women
make many friends. They are so hos
pitable and agreeable that they have
many visitors, and all are made well
come But more time is spent in
visiting here than women in China
can take from their families.

Allen T. Bird, of the Benson Press,

In Governor n. o. Murphy, the can
didate for delegate to congress,
there is presented gentleman who
has served the people long and well
in several high public stations. As
secretary of the territory, in the
Harrison administration; as governor

Mckinley; as delegate to congress
during the Cleveland administra-
ton, the gentleman has filed the

most creditable and effective man.
ner. As governor he has given Ari-
iona two clean. cut, honorable hon
est and busluesslike administrations
which will go into history as the
best and most capable Arizona has
ever had. As delegate in congress
he was constant and vigilant in at
tention Of the wishes and interests
of his constituents. AS delegate
again in the term for which he will
be elected in November, he will
bring to the discharge of his duties
a broader experience, wider ac-
quaintance with the public men of
the nation and more thorough
information of the wants and needs
of his constituents.
But beyond all these considera-
tions is the inestimable boon of
statehood, now in sight, which
should be an inducement for every
voter to cast his ballot for Governor
Murphy. By bringing Arizona into
harmony with national administra-
ton now, an enabling act and speedy
administration is assured this win
ter. No other candidate now in the
field can accomplish that p,uch de-
sired result with ease more great
than Governor Murphy.

During the winter of 1897 Mr..
James Reed, one of the leading citi-
zens and merchants of Clay, Clay
county, W. Va, struck his leg against
a cake of ice in such a manner as to
bruise it severely. 1t became very
much swollen and panied him so
badly that he could not walk with
out the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used sew
eral kinds of liniment and two and
a half gallons of whisky in bathing
it, but nothing gave any relief until
he began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost COM
plete cure in weeks time and he
believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to
be amputated. Pain Balm is un-
equaled for sprains, bruises and

Pay Your Poll Tax, Then Register.

As we understand it the new law
in regard to having poll tax receipt
before name can DE placed on the
great register does not effect the old
law which says you must pay the
tax. AS long as the tax has to be
paid anyway it should make very
little difference whether paid now
or later on, except that If paid now
you have chance to vote, aud no
man can afford to lose his vote.

HOMESPUN TOBACCO
A Sample of the Weed Used by Early
 Missouri Settlers

From the Kansas City Journal
 An old Missourian from one of the brush districts of Saline county was witness in the circuit court in Marshall last week, the Index says. While waiting in an ante room he pulled from his pocket chunk of tobacco six inches long, two inches Tn diameter, and perfectly round and smooth, and as hard almost as flint. After he haa cut off a chew a man who had watched him asked him what it was. 'Terbacker! he answered. "Yes, I know, but what kind is it?" My own kind" Where do you buy it?' Don't buy it. It's home spun terbaker I made it myself.
 In response to a good deal of questioning the old man told his story how the ron of tobacco was made. "Fust and 10 most, he said, you must have good upiano homegrown leaf terbaker, and cure II Tn the sun. Then you stem it, takin out all the stalks. When you're ready in the fali to make up your years supply of chawin terbaker, you saw off hickory log ana bore a hole in one end about foot oeep with a two-inch auger. You have your lea! soaked in honey and peach brandy; or, if you haven't any peach brandy, apple brandy will do. You put your soaked ter baker leaves into the two-inch auger hole in the hickory log and ram Ii down tght and keep putin in the leaf and rammin it down till the hole is nearly full. Then you take a hickory plug made to fit the hole and drive 1t in as tight as you can with a maui
 This makes the terbaker into a sond chunk Then you put the green hickory log on the fire and let it burn slow till 1t IS heated all through and the sap begins to sizzle out of the ends. You take the log off then and put it out of doors to cool over night. The next morning you split the log open and there's your chunk Of cbaWln terbaker that will keep as hard as leather in any climate, but it's the sweetest chaw in the world. There never was no store ter baker to hold a candle to it for sweet, juicy, lastin chaw."
 Several tobacco chewers standing around sampled the old mans homemade plug, and declared that it the best they had ever tasted. Tn the old days that's the way the fust settlers in Missouri made their chawin' terbaker," the old man said.

Birmingham Woman Candidate
 For Enurossinq Clerk of Senate

Mrs. Lulu w. Francis of Birmingham is an applicant for the position of expressing clerk of the Alabama Senate. Mrs. Fran cis is being strongly endorsed by Mir Hugh Morrow, the Senator from Jefferson County; Captain Frank White, Dr. R. M. Cunningham, Captain Frank P. O'Brien, MT Robert J. Lowe, MT. Robbins of Selma, Colonel A. M: Shook. MIrl g A Roggnatree and number of influential Alabamians. She is meeting with enthusiastic support on all sides and is confident of her election. The announcement that she is recev ing indicates her strength throughout the state and points strongly to her election. There are two other candidates, MT. Me- Call, the present encumbent, and Mrs. Ghestner of Montgomery Mrs. Francis is eminently fitted for the position She is a woman of strong intellecuality and unusual strength and dignity of character, while she combines the energy, determination and pluck that characterize Southern wo- men in every thing that they undertake.
 'I am not a new woman," she said yes- terday, in discussing her candidacy "On the contrary, I may not be sufficiently ag- gressive in my race but l believe that with the hearty support that l am receiv ing from many of the most influential men in the state my election is assured. l have seen personally many of the representa- tive men who are endorsing me, and l in receipt of letters from all parts of the state, assuring me that strong influences will be brought to bear in my favor. The position is essentially that of a woman's, and if elected 1 am sure that I can fill 1t satisfactorily. I was told some time ago that it was a political office, and that the candidates vote influenced the action of the Senate. This may be the case with a man who applies for the position, but l am glad to know that'a woman is not debarred be- cause she Is not politician and is not al- lowed to vote.
 Mrs. Francis race will be conducted along non-partisan lines for her capabil- ties and her especial fitness for the place, will be the strong blanks in her platform if platform must be continually rung in by candidates for any office.

OLDEST HOTEL IN AMERICA
So Narrow That Fat Delegates Have tc
 Enter It Sideways

From the Philadelphia Evening Star. city there is a hotel known commercially as the Glanders, but fippantly as the Kafer. It is thus called because it is so narrow from front to back that heavy delegates like Sam Raymond of Chicago and J. c. Baldwin, Jr., of New York, had to enter and leave it sideways. The build ing was erected to fill long-felt want and it is said by its patrons to do it. al though it fills no material space.
 The structure is 23 feet in depth from the sidewalk to the room register behind the clerks desk, and a uniformed giant stands at the main entrance to warn ignor- ant incomers with long noses of the danger of striking the opposite wall. The ele- vators are hung along the interior like pie ture frames and are "sandwiched'' because only one piece of meat can be put in at a time.
 On each floor a red light at the elevator opening inlicates the sign halt" while the startled passenger decides whether to turn to the right or to the left, not being able to go forward without hitting brick wall, or backward except down the ele- vator shaft. If guest unfortunately hap pens to meet a chambermaid in the hall way, he bows and retreats to the elevator while the woman goes by
 The cafe occupies a strip along the side walk from one end to the other of the house except where breaks are made for windows and doorways A feature of the Glandors is "a telephone in each room, V and the reason of this is found in the fact that if bellboys were employed there would be no unoccuped places for guests to squeeze into.

That Birmingham Man.

Mrs DeCottes in the Montgomery Ad- vertiser says:
 For the enlightenment of that dear de- lightful man in Birmingham who some- times "murmurs'' and sometimes glides his easy pencil over pages telling of Hobbies and Elsewhere" that we Montgomery Daughters have four-not fve-chapters and that number three-not number four is named-not Secession-but Secession Capital Chapter not because they are se- ceded daughters-thougb many of them are-but because Montgomery was the first capital that seeded enduring of the war" The fearful appropriateness of the name did not present itself in all its truth to the members until the christening was over. It was too late; the stamp of seces- sion was upon them.
 Now the fourth chapter-just week old is not yet named; but win perhaps be ''ere the day is done.''
 The fifth organization Is something else; not a chapter; just White House Associa- tion and we know, know, know-well we do.
 Now that same charming Birmingham man does say the loveliest things of Mont gomery women, and the fact that he has the bravery to see the funny side of the doings of the Daughters gains for him my profoundest admiration. I can't afford to do it. I don't dare laugh save in my dreams when all is dark, and there is no danger of being discovered. Sometimes after a meeting is over and duly reported, some friend who loves me and whom I trust, tels me with bated breath what did really happen at that meeting-not the printed side, but the side that only wo- man, who trusts woman, can tell to a woman who trusts her.
 If that dear, delightful man could hear one of those talks, could see the guilty looks on the face of i've two," as she says, 'now don't tell a word l said," and I with a saintly upward look reply, "No! If he could, he would know. But no; he can never know; he "can never understand"
