margaret Fuller once expressed the
willingness to exchange her fine intellect
and all her accomplishments for the
beauty and attrnctiveness of Emily Mar

writes William Perrine Of "The Loveliest
Woman In All America" in The Ladies
Home Journal. "'Miss Marshall stood
before us a reversion to that faultless
type of structure which artists have i'm
agined in the past and to that ideal love
illness Of disposition which poets have
fancied in the golden age was the YER
diet of 4 Boston gallant, one of the fair
beauty's neighbors, recorded in after life,
when his judgment was unpreJudlced.
Such was the homage which the people
Of Boston would sometimes bestow upon
Miss Marshall that one night when Dan
iel Webster, then beginning his career in
the United States senate, visited the
Federal Street theater the applause
which the audience showered upon him
was not greater than the cheers with
which it welcomed the divine Emily. In
New York she caused such a sensation
that one morning 10 gentlemen at one
time were seen in her escort, and 60 left
their cards for her When she went to
such summer resorts as Saratoga, the
crowds at the hotel would form lane
through which she might pass as they
waited to view her going to and from her
coach, and it is Philadelphia tradition
that when she visited that city one of the
schools was closed earlier than the usual
hour to give the young girls chance TO
see the famous belle. Indeed, women
looked upOn her with an admiration
which they seldom accord to beauties"

powers and Ching's reputation rests
almost solely upon his record there it
remains to be seen what substance
there is to the hope raised by his ap-
pointment upon the board.
1t is significant that three out of five
of the peace plenipotentiaries first
named by China, Ii Hung Chang,
Prince Ching and Jung Lu, were called
to the counsels of the empress dowager
when in 1898 she deposed Kwangsu
and began the violent reactionary cru
sade which led to the present crisis.
All three were chosen because of their
known reactionary sentiments, but
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang, be-
ing too polite to go the whole length in
" antiforcign crusade, were finally

a. ,sdeI General Tung Fuhsiang
The court party led by Tuan began
to eXterminate the hated European for
eigners, and in all China only two men
of real influence and power held aloof
These were the two Chinese viceroys
in the board Of commissioners, Chang
"the two Hus," and Liu Kun Vi Of
Chekiang and Kiangsi, 'the two Ki-
angs." The provinces Of these officials
lie in the Yang-tse valley, England's
sphere of influence. Whatever Mr..
Chih Tung may say or do just now to
smooth over the troubles of China the
man underneath his mask speaks
11-hj hn
three years ago for the edification of
faithful Celestials. The keynote Of the
book is that China should control the
destinies of Europe and Asia, and an
Indispensable means to that end is
powerful army. An army, he says, SIS
to the states what the breath is to the
body" A powerful army would make
the world fear China. Evidently the
immense importation of foreign arms
| into China the past year or two has not
been haphazard, but the farsighted
policy of her leading men. With a
strong army Chih Tung says the en-
pire could defy the treaty powers, reg
ulate her own tariffs and try foreigners
| in her own courts.
Cnln Lung is also dn advocate OI
| western learning, but it must come as
a superstructure upon the base estab
lished by Confucius. He is tolerant Of
religions on the ground that all, includ-
ing Christianity, are doomed to fall be-
fore Confucianism, and it isn't worth
while to persecute converts. Aside
from Chih Tung's prejudices as faith
full Chinese for the old order of thought
and worship he never has forgiven and
never will forgive the foreigners for
the introduction of opium into China.
He is now very old, he is loyal to the
dynasty and loyal to his race and, be-
ing without strong military power to
oppose the court, is as likely to fall in
with an antiforeign crusade as to take
the other course.

Stri,Inc After PonuInrity.

How to become popular-that is the
universal cry of girldOm. In the days OF
old, when our grandmothers wore their
lace mtts and high buckled shoes and
were buttoned into corsages by main
strength, the art Of becoming popular
was one universally taught to girls, and
it would have been most unseemly, to say
tie least, in any young lady of family
preteusions to display ignorance in the
business of charming. But nowadays
study Of the ologies and golf seems to have
misplaced entirely the old art, and girls
who have been through school and who
have studied more than our gentle ances-
tors ever dreamed of cry aloud to be told
the secret which will bring them friends,
make them a centerpiece of attraction,
insure their popularity, in short, with
the people they meet. 1t is faculty born
with some people, but it may be learned.
When followed only for the sake Of
the results to self, it is one of the most
exacting arts which could be conjured up
for study and attention.
The girl who wishes to be popular
must be entirely forgetful Of self where
convenience or pleasure is concerned, for
the unselish person is always the most
popular of all persons. She must always
study other peoples interests before her
own She must take for granted the ut
ter selfishness and vanity of the average
human creature, and she must cater to
each and every one she meets in all the
thousand delicate ways which come nat
urally to a woman who wills. The self
ish person is never popular unless she so
artfully conceals her selhshness that 1T
can be mistaken for something else.
Does the sarcasm in all this strike
home. you girls who have written to me
begging the secret of popularity? |
would that I could point every word with
a sting, so that you would never forget it.
Ny dear girls. why set up such an un-
worthy ideal OF life? Why strive, as you
tell me you are striving, for the mere
petty satisfaction Of being called ''popu-
lar" Of being sought by your friends and
cnvied by your enemies? Why not take
a noble idea and follow it? Be unselfsh,
be helpful. be kind and be sympathetic.
These are worthy attainments, for they
help ease the inevitable burden of hu-
manity for some weary pilgrim on life's
road; they make earthly existence a little
brighter and a little better, and ultimate
ly they cannot result otherwise than in
bringing you that very boon you desire
so much, popularity. Take the means,
not the end, however, as your goal.
Strive to lift your nature to the high
plane of self sacrifice and make duty,
gentle and undertaking your watchword
and you will rise ten times higher in the
scale of worthiness than any striving
after popularity can ever lift you.-Gra-

No Use For the Water.

"They tell q good many jokes about
Kentucky colonels and their natural
aversion to water" said fat drummer
I'm the hotel corridor the other night.
"but the richest thing In that line eyer
knew to come off I'm real life happened
over In Alabama when old man Briggs
was trying to sell his summer hotel.
Briggs had a pretty piece Of property
In the Alabama highlands, and its stag
feature was a magnificent big spring
that welled into a sort OF basin ana
was as cold as ice all the year round.
He had good prospects Of making a
popular resort out of the place, but ne
got the California fever and offered II
at a sacrifice to race horse man from
Kentucky who had an idea that he was
cut out for landlord.
"The race horse man was typical
Kentucky colonel Of the old school and
n mighty fine fellow. He came down
to look over the ground in person, and
Briggs started out with him to point
out the principal attractions. At last
they came to the famous spring. This,
colonel said Briggs, stopping at the
edge Of the basin and swelling with
pride, is a wonderful natural reservoir
Of crystal pure water, inexhaustible IN
volume and Ice cold in temperature. lr
is undoubtedly the finest spring in the

HUNTING THE CHlNCHILLA.
south American Indians Use Dyra-
mite tn Secure Perfect skins


mite to Secure Perfect Skins.
Killing chinchilla with the ajd of dyna-
mite is one of the lucrative pastimes of
the South American Indians which en-
rich the commerce of the world very con-
siderably.
High in the mountains the nimble foot
ed chinchilla are caught and killed by
half savage Indians. Tact and skill are
needed to lure the cautious little animal
from its hole in the earth. Originally
the Indians used TO use cactus prongs,
which are long and sharp, to capture
them in their holes by impaling them on
the end Of this natural spear. This pune
tured the skin and impaired its value.
The trappers tried to smoke the chin
chilla out by making great fires near the
entrance of the burrows, but the smoke,
it was found, caused the skin to turn yel'
low, which seriously deprecated its val
ue. Now the more progressive lndlans
use dynamite.
After locating the chinchilla they form
a network of grass and hardy plants,
which is placed around the hill on the
side of which the animal digs its holes. A
dynamite cartridge with time fuse at
tached is then discharged in the center Of
the net, which frightens the chinchilla so
that they leave their holes and scamper
wildly to and fro about the space inside
the net. The Indians then dash into the
arena with clubs and kill them by strik-
ing them over the head. This is consid-
cred the easiest and best method of kill
ing them, as it does not in any way dam
age the skins, which vary in value from
SO to SIS each. When it is considered
that as many as 100 animals are killed in
one sortie Of this character, the value Of
the skins to the Indians, who are shrewd
commercial traders, may be imagined.
Some of the tribe own ferrets, which
they use to good advantage. They pay
as much as So for one. The ferrets are
taken to the mountain tops and sent
through the burrows, chasing the chip-
chilla out into the open, where they are
dubbed to death with celebrity by the
waiting Indians. The skins are removed
Immediately and placed on shrubs TO dry.
The evening meal of the trappers often
consists of the bodies of the slain ro-
dents, the meat of which is white and
tender The hearts Of the latter are Civ
en- to the ferrets.
A great part Of the trapping is done at
nlRnt, the cHlHcnilih SeIuOlH DelHs Nlslple
in the daytime. The nights are cool and
clear, and, there being but little yege-
tation ut the height where the chinchiiia
are caught, the mountains are for a long
period each month illuminated by the
rays of the moon, enabling the Indians
to move about with great agility for
their prey. The chinchilla lives princi-
pally on herbs and often when it comes
out to feed is trapped by the Indians.
Four times year the tribes descend
into the semicivilized villages at the base
of the mountains with their skins. There
they are met by the various agents Of the
European fur houses. One American
house has its representative there too
The occasion of the Indians arrival Is
usually made religious festival.-Chi

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
A BOy NiurOd.

There is a 6-year-old slayer of wild
game in California. His name is Aus
tin Otis, and he can bring down deer
with as clean and pretty shot as any
veteran hunter in the country.
Straight through the heart is the
motto of this sportsman in knicker-
bockers when he sights big game, and
straight through the heart goes the bit
Of steel that vanquishes his victim, for
the small, brown, childish finger on the
trigger is obedient to a keen eye, a
bright mind and very natural ambi-
tion to be as good a shot as papa"
Papa" himself couldn't have done a
neater bit of sportsman's work than
Austin achieved recently. That plucky
youngster went hunting recently with
no companion but a half breed fox
hound. Within two hours he had killed
a young buck weighing So pounds
After the buck had dropped the lad
scrambled to the spot where it lay,
drew a knife from his pocket and cut
its throat, just as he had seen his IA
