CHINESE WOMEN SERVANTS.

| We are accustomed to think only Of
Cinnamon as servants, because it is al
most unknown for Chinese woman
to go out to service in this country, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
This is not the case, however, in Japan,
some Of the most, efficient servants of
that country being from China. Amer
chant from this country, who has been
doing business in Toxic for several
years, returned home recently, bring
ing with him two Chinese women as
nurses for his young children. He says
it is customary in Japan to place the
very young children in charge of Chi
nese nurses, and when they are older
to employ japanese women. The rea-
soa given is because the Chinese wom-
en- are so faithful ii the care Of babies.
"a Chinese nurse will hang her head
with shame if the baby cries. She
thinks it is all her, fault. She hovers
over her charge with anxious care, and
makes q great fuss il it appears that
anyone is going to behave imprudently
with the child. The stalwart father Of
the babies referred to used to 20 into

The Chinese nurse expects to take en-

It is hard to realize the revolution
that Howe's invention has worked in
the world within but little more than
a century. But his reward did not come
without effort. Even after he had Sc
cured his patent it was questioned by
another inventor who had claimed to
have built machine along much the
same lines some eight years before,
but had failed tossapply for a patent.
Even with. the Validity of his patent
assured, as it finally was, he still had
many troubles to face: Labor in Amer
lea in those days was as violently op-
posed to the introduction of machinery
asrthe Chinese are to-day, and it was q
long time before Howe could interest
sufficient capital to put his invention
on the market. !, He tried first in this
country and failed; then he went to
England and failed again; still he was
not entirely discouraged, :, but came
back to America, working his way back
as common sailor, and made another
effort. When he reached America he
found that others were manufactur-
ing machines that infringed his patent,
and he soon found capital enough to
start the legal battle that was neces-
sary for his protection. From that time
on all was clear sailing for the one-time

he went as United States minister to

the Caribbean sea, in latitude II north.
Latitude II north runs directly through
the island of TOBACCO. Another instance
is, when Crusoe climbs up mountain
and gazes out toward the sea, he cries:
1.-THE land which perceive is the great
island of Trinidad" Now, Trinidad lies
just 30 miles southwest of Tobago and
directly between it and the mouth of
the Orinoco river, and was undoubt-
eddy the land which Crusoe saw.
From this evidence it will be seen
that Mr.. .Rhead has some cause for his
assertions. The following is another
point which, in itself, is quite decisive.
On the title page of the first edition OF
Defoe's work is the following state
ment: 1.-THE life and strange, surpris-
ing adventures of Robinson Crusoe,
of York, mariner, who lived eight and
twenty years all alone on the coast of
America, near the mouth of the great
river of Oronooque."
'Tobago," says Mr.. Rhead, lis ro-
mantle and lovely island, rich in trop-
ical verdure, it's climate extremely salu-
brious, the sea breezes cooling the
highlands, which are healthful and
pleasant, and though its people are few
and mostly of African descent they all
speak the English language" ;.
e The island of Tobago, after being
contested by Dutch, Spaniards and
French, came into British possession
in 1868. It was united with the colony
of Trinidad in 1889 and has commits
sioner, appointed by TIE government.
Juan Fernandez, on the contrary, was
uninhabited. S..s:
1t is the general impression that the
story Of Robinson Crusoe was founded
on the experiences of Alexander Sell
kirk, and that this person was wrecked
on an island and did live in solitude
there for many years. though .Defoe
! does not admit that Selkirk was the
original of his story, the latter did live

captive upon its hospitable shores.
Selkirk was rescued from Juan Fer
,nandez by Capt. Woodes Rogers in 1908,
after he had spent four years and five
months on the island. He embodied
his adventures during that time in .
book of fact, and it is upon this that the
Defoe story of Crusoe has commonly
been supposed to be founded. But had
Defoe desired to locate his story of
this particular island he might equally
as we'll have taken any one of half q
dozen stories Of strange. adventures, all
Of them true.
Another lonely occupant Of this same
island was native of the Mosquito
coast named William. He was left
there quite accidentally by Capt. Wat
ling in 1880, long before Selkirk's nd
venture. He remained on the island for
three years before he was rescued. An
account of his adventures was pub

Another expedition touched there in
1916 and the Nassau expedition from
Holland visited the island in 1924 of

George Shelvocke in the English ship
Speedwell was wrecked on this same

they succeeded in building a vessel in

NUR American women have to q
~ great extent worn home-designed
gowns for the past season or two,
and it is the American designers who
have fashioned American styles in
gowns for the present and coming sea-

vogue in that line of ladies' garments.
