The Proprieties of Chit.

There is everything in the point Of
view. In China, it is considered varv
unwomanly for q woman not to wear
trousers, and highly i~ndecorous for a
man not to have skirts to his coat. Il
is NO wonder that the Chinese look
sskance at tbd ordinary American or
European Welcomes among them.
To the Chinese, says the author Of
eliminate China" it seems yery un.
fitting for Q lady to go out unattended
by q woman; and for a woman to stand
firmly on her feet and walk IN them
like g man is shocking. Thus there
are great difficulties for the traveller
to get over.
The garment that seems most essen.
tial to the Chinese woman is a pair of
trousers, and she thinks it highly i'm
proper for q woman to indicate by a
belt that she possesses a waist.
"Do you really eat with your waist
girt in like that2" she asks Of a foreign
woman.
A mans dress, as we know It. is a
still greater scandal in China; and to
the Chinese the only explanation of it
is that the poor fellow has not cloth
enough to cover himself properly.
Nevertheless, nearly every foreigner.
after spending much time among ORR
entails, admits that the dress he has
grown accustomed to at home is lack.
ing in grace and elegance.

A Rhinoceros In Camp.

While trekking in South Africa,
Parker Gilmore often outspanned on
the open weld. It was a life of dis
comfort and adventure, which he
wildly describes in his book, "The
Great Thirst Land" Contrary to
what would be commonly believed,
wild beasts not infrequently came
about the camp, and even into the
heart of the campfire.
One night we had outspanned rather
late, and the "boys' had built an
enormous fire close by the wagon,
and between eating and shouting kept
me awake. Toward daylight this was
still going on, when I heard several
EXPLANATIONS of terror. I looked oui
of the front OF the wagon. The boys
were flying heller SHELTER everywhere,
and a rhinoceros was trotting back
ward and forward across the fire,
tossing ~carcasses, skins, cooking
utensils and blankets about as if each
of them contained somebody.
A red blanket seemed particularly
to take the fancy of the irate beast.
At it he went, and got his horn well
into it. But there it seemed to stick.
The more he shook his head, the more
tightly the blanket wrapped itseli
about it, entirely hiding the eyes.
He shook his head, paved with his
forefeet, lay down his clumsy length
and rolled from side to side, Struggling
in vain to get free of the envelopine
blanket. I laughed aloud at his
grotesque antics.
Suddenly he gave . snort, q bound
and a kick, and started for the sombrt
shadows of the forest; but he carried
q two-ounce bullet behind his shout
der. How he escaped knocking tina,
ornamental head-piece of his agains'
q tree was . wonder. In the morning
he was found dead. The bullet hai

to its bearing on the market for the raw

The exceptional opportunities offered the
farmers In the heaviest producing sections
for the disposal Of a large share of their
products to Gamers operate distinctly to
the advantage OF the markets for green
and other vegetables. The surplus produce
which otherwise would canse a glut In this
market is sold to the packers, and the can

the producers, but many OF them are share
holders In the canning establishments.

Ing farmers have made contracts to turn
over at a certain price the largest portion
OF their crop Of asparagus, celery, cabbage,
beans, peas, corn and cau1ihower. and It is
said that q much smaller quantity Of these
products will be marketed green. This will
be a decided advantage to the trade here
In that It will aid In affording producers In
other sections a greater margin OF profit
on the goods shipped by them.
"a member Of one OF the leading canning
companies told me that there appeared to
be q growing demand for canned aspara-
gus, caulidower and peas, and that these
vegetables would find on the average a
much more profitable outlet this season
than last. There willbe an immense crop
OF potatoes produced this year, and 9
