Passing Of Simplicity.

The Dreamer, tired of the clanking
bells and the rattle of urban traffic,
took a stroll far from the city limits,
and as he left the tenement houses be,
hind him and trod on the springy
turf, as yet untouched by the unholy
trolley cars, and viewed the broad ex.
panse of green fields and groves-ting.

heart was glad He stroled along tho
road at a switching at the weeds on
the wayside with his cane and drank
in the pure country air.
Soon by the road he saw small

tiers Of pure grapes, and he stood still
and contemplated the scene to his
hearts content
"Ah,," he said "here indeed one may
fnd rest and quiet. Here the coarse
iron hand Of progress has made no
impression.
"A little boy came from the house,
dlrty faced and curly haired, his
frock covered with some sticky red
substance. And as the Dreamer look.

macula'ed face became inquisitive.

Soon he heard a familiar sound. a
burning metollic sound, and turning
around suddenly. he saw the Amer.

road on bicycles. The Dreamer was

IN his treatise ON ceramics, concludes
that all the samples of porcelain

says the Scientific American. Among
the samples given him by an archae-

Itinerary statuette coming from Sag

undoubtedly of porcelain; its heirog-

Art and Nature.

The perfect blending of the real
and ideal has recently been advertis-
ed by Paris milliners, who have come
to use oats from the field to trim the
bonnets of their fair customers. The
adventure which befell one such bon
net and its wearer is related by for
eign newspapers
"a lady dressed beyond the reach
OF criticism, was crossing broad
boulevard 4 cab bore down upon her
and she stepped hastily back and
stopped in front of the curbstone, I'M
mindful of horse and cart standing
Immediately behind her. The horse
quietly shifted the oats and then, de-
Gliding that they were genuine, began
to munich.
"He was thus engaged when the
lady, quite unaware Of the pleasure
she had afforded the hungry animal
started forward. But the horse was
far from satisfied. and, planting his
forefeet on the lady's skirt, continued
his repast
"The lady surprising the horse
about to deyour her head, promptly
tainted and was removed TO the drug
gist's shop near by, where, happily,
she soon recovered.
"The moral of the story is that
every field of oats should have a fence
about it"

Chinese Are Frugal.

No race Of men can compass the
Chinese in habits of industry and
thrift, says the January Atlantic
With the introduction of western civ.
ilization the vast resources Of the
country will be developed, the pro-
ducts of the soil and manufacture
will indefinitely increase and domes-
tic and international trade will bs
multiplied in its proportions. Now
in all this material regeneration of
China the Chinaman will be il evi.
dence.
Not a dollar will be gathered from
the soil, from trade. from mines, from
manufactures. without his securing .
due proportion as reward for his
part in the enterprise. He will pa
ter for half generation and in the
second half he will appear as his own
tiently and faithfully work for a mas
master, at the head of a thriving BEST
ness. Thus in the industries of the fu-
ture, wherever there is work to be
done there will be found Chinese
ready to "sell strength" as working
for hire is called in China; and they
will sell more strength for the money
than will men of any other nation.
Again, dollar in the hands OF a
Chinaman represents far greater pur-
chasing power than it does in the
hands of European. In China a dol.
lar will purchase 1900 pieces of cash,
composed of copper and zinc. These
cash, with a hole in the center and
strung on a cord weigh seven pounds.
A common laborer in Picking is glad
to give ten days of labor and a car
penter or mason six DAYS to secure
this amount in cash. This money
would give comfortable support to
an average family.
Theree dollars a month. or $36
year, would cover the living income Of
Chinese family Of the working class.
The meaning of this is that the China
man will survive and prosper under
conditions of life which would dis.

Chinese as soldiers.

Chinese "Tomny' is a man of in
ches and the standard hight of the
Wei-Hai-Wci regiment, a troop OF
Chinese-Brilish sailors, is higher than
that of the brigade of guards. Not
only so, but the Chinese Tommy
shows wonderful adaptabllity and
after three months service he is as
efficient as his British comrade with
thrice the service. When Prince
Henry of Prussia recently visited
Wei-IIai-Wei the Chinese 'Tommies'
or ("Johnnies") who formed his
guard of honor averaged six feet in
hight, and the prince was so impress
ed that he sent two German officers
from Kao-Chau to study British
methods. John Chinaman tucks his
pigtail up under turban and looks
very smart. He takes part with
great delight in British games, but it
must be confessed that ericket-from
the sporting point of vlew-is not
his strongest point, for no amount OF
persuasion will convince him that he
should bowl at or around the wicket.
