A Trife QuizzicaI.

The late Sir John Il. Millais one of the
most popular of modern painters, had a
fund of almost boisterous humor which
delighted his friends. but with which the
public a large was little familiar, says
the Youths Companion. Mrs. Jopling, a
London lady of fashion, gives the follow
ing amusing "reminiscences of this side OF
the artists disposition:
The first time I ever saw John Everett
Miliais was at one of the private views
of old masters at Burlington House, /
was walking with friend.
Here comes Millais" he said
You can imagine my excitement
stared with all MY eyes. My friend turn
ed to the artist:
Good show of old mastersr"
odd masters be bothered! I prefer
looking at the young mistresses" said
Millais, with a humorous glance as he
walked off. My companion roared with
laughter. There is only Johnny Millais
who would dare TO make a remark like
that"
remember Millais, telling me of an in
cident that happened to himself at a din
ner. He was sitting next the hostess, and
on his right was a charming society wo-
man who evidently had not caught his
name when he was introduced to her; for
presently, during a pause, she started the
usual subject of conversation in May
the academy.
Isn't Millais too dreadful this year?'
she remarked, and then, seeing the ago
nized contortions on her hostess counte-
nance, she added. "Oh, do tell me what
I've done! Look at Mrs. Ms face.
must have said something terrible"
We'll YOU really have, you know"
laughed Mllais
"Oh, please tell met
We'll, you had better nerve yourself
up"
Yes yes, what is it?"
For answer Millais said nothing but
looking at her pointed solemnly to him
self. When it dawned on her who her
neighbor was she was spared any confu-
sion by Milais' hearty laughter.
The Princess of. Wales said to him once
while looking at several pictures in his
studio, Il wonder that you can bear to
part with them"
"Oh, ma am" answered Millais, when
finish picture, 1 am just like a hen
having laid an egg. 1 cry, Come and
take it away! Come and take it awayr
Then l start upon another picture"

A New Memory system.


Ny friend Micah Miggles, writes C. B.
Loomis in the Smart Set, has system OF
mnemonies all his own When ne wishes
to remember one word he thinks of an
other which may sound quite different but
that bears some relation of ideas TO the
word he seeks to retain. Thus, if you
told him to buy pair of socks he would
Immediately think of the word ''sockdol-
aser," and, ten to one when he arrived at
the store the word would have turned into
doxology, and he would come back with
a hymn-hook. So his system has its
faults. but Miggles swears by it, and
once in while he evolves a triumph in
his line,
Last week his wife asked him to stop
a MunnimaSer's and buy a few things
for her. He Immediately made list so
that he should not forget. l was with him
when he drew out this list at Munni-
makers.
'Hellow said he, what's all this royal
family about? | can't think whether it
was books or kitchen utensils that Mrs.
Migg1es asked me to get This after
reading his list
What's on the list?" 1 asked.

the dark.
No. said Miggles Just help me to
think. I'm sure it wasn't books or pic
lures. l think it was dry goods
Quite accidentally l put him on the
track If l hadn't, in spite of his system
he would have gone home without a
bundle, and as he is a commuter, that
would have been a little irregular.
What is King?" said l, half to my
self
"Ha" said Miggles; thanks. Cotton is
king-old expression. Cotton-'King Hen
ry W equals five yards of cotton.
Good said l. But what in thunder
is one Prince of Wales?'"
e-prince-prints-on yard of

There is more in that system than l
thought" said l. But what can you
make out of one Duke of York;"
'Duke-duke-duke. Duke - duchess.

EUROPE'S POLICY RESPECTING
CHINA.

Briefly stated Europes policy respect
ing China has been to make out of her
all that it was possible to make and to
keep her in ignorance of her possibilities
for becoming a progressive and powerful
nation. For years there has been a fear
in all European countries that if China
should realize her strength from mill
tary standpoint and her possibilities from
a manufacturing and commercial stand
point she would become one of the dom
mating Powers of the world
With her wonderfully cheap labor Chi
ma could beat all other countries in many
kinds of manufacturing. She has
the material for vast armies
armies that would be truly formid-
able If properly armed. disciplined
and led. Europe has been willing, how
ever. that China should remain asleep,
but at the same time she has been try
ing by every possible means to get some
of her wealth. China did not want to
come into contact with Western civilza-
ton. She wanted to be LEI alone. Europe,
however would not let her alone. She
battered down her forts and compelled
her to open some of her ports to the com
merce of the world. She has insisted upon
building railroads across her territory and
in opening her mines
Europe knew the danger of course of
selling the Chinese modern guns, but Eu-
ropean manufacturers of guns and ammu-
milton wanted a new market and so the
danger was pushed aside as something
too remote TO be worth considering.
The Chinese are quick to learn espe-
excellent guns themselves and very soon
they will be independent of the gun max
ers of Western countries. And 1t looks as
if they were learning rapidly to use guns.
If they develop into good soldiers. and If
they take to manufacturing, as they
promise to do, Europe may have cause to
regret that the barrier that separated
China from civilization was ever cross
ed. China is awakening from her sleep of
centuries. Ia will take her years of
course 20 get fully awake, but what a
giant Power she will be when her AGO.

When lad of u I was sent to the

GEN. GREENE.s INNOVATION.

Gen. F. v. Greene, the new president of
the Republican County Committee of New
York. is a business man. AS the head
of a great corporation he has learned the
value Of keeping accounts; of requiring
itemized statements of expenditures and
vouchers for sums paid out. He proposes
to introduce a system of bookkeeping into
his management of the Republican county
machine in the current campaign. He
thinks that contributors to the funds have
a right to know how their money goes.
This proposed innovation of Gen. Greene
has caused discomfort in the ranks of the
party heelers. There are already ominous
mutterings among them which may de-
velop into revolt. The idea of putting
check upon the handlers of campaign
money is regarded by the heelers as
something altogether preposterous. They
feel that their honor" has been assailed.
Nothing of the kind has ever before been
suggested under former representatives
of the Easy Boss" Plat. Quigg never
required statements of expenditures. The
Boss himself has never insisted upon all
money being accounted for. There is a
shortage now in the treasury of the Re
publican county machine of $4,000 car
rled over from Quigg's administration.
But nobody has ever raised a fuss about
that. Why. who ever heard of the &C
counts of a Republican campaign COM
mittee being audited? Heretofore the
workers have merely gone to the boss and
told him THAI they could place a certain
sum of money where IL would do the
most good" II the boss approved, the
money was forthcoming, and that was the
end of The transaction. There was a mu-
tual understanding, tacit, of course, but
nevertheless clear to each mind, that no
counts rendered The strength of the big
Republican machines, as a matter of fact,
has depended upon this system of han
ding large campaign funds.
Does Gen. Greene imagine that he can
with impunity humfliate the party heel
ers by setting watch upon them to see
what goes with the money? What does he
suppose they are in politics for their
health? If bookkeeping in politics is a
good thing the heelers would like to
know why it is that Hanna does not in
troduce it into the national campaign All,
there is a man after their own heart! He
knows how to treat patriots" who colon
ize f1oaters and know how TO play polit-
cal shell games If Gen. Greene persists
in his bookkeeping scheme. he will be
mighty apt 40 find the patriotic devotion
of many of his party workers oozing out
at their fingers ends.

CLEARING UNITED STATES

Fourteen hundred Cuban teachers, male
and female, are at Harvard attending
summer school. They are studying the
English language, and the manners and
customs of the people of this country. In
short, as one of them expressed it, they
are learning United States" What in
formation they acquire will be made use
Of when they return to Cuba, through the
medium of the public schools. The civil
ization, the education, the manners of
Cuba have heretofore been those of Spain
transplanted. The literature has been
that of The Latins, and the amusements
those of Madrid and Paris. Notwith-
standing the nearness of Havana to the
American coast, it has been virtually
South-of- Europe city in about all except
geographical position.
The visit Of the Cuban teachers to the
United States and their course of instruc-
lion at Harvard may have far-reaching
effect upon the future of the island Ii
is said they are displaying the utmost
eagerness to master the English Ian
guage, and are taking great interest in
the customs and costumes of the people
of Cambridge and Boston. The women
teachers are said to be especially quick to
catch on" to American ideas and to
adopt them. When the party first ar
rived In Massachusetts there was not a
shirt waist in it. Now nearly all of the
women of it are wearing shirt waists.
dog-collar belts and sailor hats, the same
as the Boston girls wear. Upon their ar
rival the Cuban women would as soon
barefooted as of wearing hats without
feather plumes. Now they are affecting
the simplest, neltest, coolest hats that
they can find. The men, too, are adopt
ing the American dress.
Before the teachers left home their ac-
quaintance with English literature was
extremely limited Now they are sitting
up late at nights in parties enjoying and
discussing the authors whose writings are
in the English language. The methods of
teaching in this country are different
from those heretofore employed in Cuba.
These methods the Cubans are absorbing;
and they have no hesitation in declaring
them better than those they are familiar
with
AS the trainers of the youth of Cuba,
these teachers must exert a large in1u-
ence upon the future of the island. II
they go home and inculcate American
ideas through their schools, may it not
transpire tina, there will spring up in
Cuba a spirit of Amerlcanism so vigorous
the annexation of the island TO this union
of states? There are those who are in
clined to take this view of the situation.
