China's Estimate of Women.
ieric Poole in the New Lippineett.

Frederic Poole in the New Lippinc6tt.
The literature of the country in which
woman occupies such an inferior social
position as in China cannot be expected
to refer to the weaker sex in any lauda-
tory or complimentary terms To discover
the Chnamans estimate of woman we
need only turn to the word-pictures of his
language. 1t is a noteworthy fact that
in the thousands of Chinese characters
there are scarcely any in which the SYM
boil for woman is combined that convey
any good or beautiful meaning. Profanity,
indecency and immortality are almost in
variably expressed by characters In which
the figure for woman is employed In
der these circumstances 1t is pleasant and
surprising relief when We stumble across
a character suggestive Of high and noble
sentiments. and in the construction of which
the feminine hierogiyph was apparently
Indispensable. Such Is the Chinese word
for peace where under the figure for
roof we find the character for woman"
thus forming a picture which Is evidently
intended to portray the ideal condition of
domestic happiness.

SURE HIS END is NEAR.
Has Done No Work Since Reading a
Patent Medicine Pamphlet.

I1as DOne No y" oItA SIhSe hcAuIhS u
Patent Medicine Pamphlet.
From the Philadeiphia North American.
Six years ago Andrew Boyce of 1901
North Sth street was a. vigorous. hard
working and healthy man His home was
happy, and fortune was smiling upon him.
But one day patent medicine pamphlet
was showed under his door, and at the same
instant happiness flew .out the window.
Boyce returned from his employment that
fatal night, tired, after the manner of all
conscientious workmens, and. eating his sup
per in silence turned forarelaxation to the
literary effort Of the patent medicine man.
An hour later his wife, found him. with his
face flushed and dra wn, shoulders stopped.
and eyes red and -watery, with patent
medicine pamphlet clutched in his hands.
I'm dead man. hetgasped
whats the rnatter?'' eshrieked the wife.
This" cried the husband, pointing to
the pamphlet. I've got several fatal dis
eases, and it's only matter of time before
L die. miserably." CO.,
Since that night Boyce has done no work.
Unlike some others who are taken into
court, as he was by his wife for non-sup-
pert, he didn't spend every penny he could
get on rum, but INDUCED in continued
patent medicine sprees. under the delusion
that he would eventually shake off the de-
mon Death, which he believed had him in
its clutches.
Inc money ne mas spent 1or patent meu-
icires,'' said Mrs. Boyce, would keep US
in comfort the rest of our lives.
There is a cellar full of empty bottles and
a room full of pamphlets in the Boyce
home, and If Boyce has missed any new
ccncoction he will be glad to give it a trial.
Though his family and the neighbors never
haG much faith in his lingering illness, they
marvel that he is still alive.
Mrs. Boyce pathetically explained the
case to Magistrate South in the Central
police court He hasn't earned cent in
sig years." she said And, besides my
self. there are four children to support"
A physician testified that Boyce was both
mentally and physically able to work. He
doesn't know his business said the pris-
oner. II have 1t in black and white. At
least three fatal diseases have a hold on
me. and can't possibly live much longer. y
Boyce will have chance to tell a jury
about it. unless he surprises all hands and
dies in the meantime.
