A short time ago Prof. Harry Thurs
ton Peck made the statement that wo.
men had never taken part in any gi-
gantic enterprise such as the construc-
tion of steamships, railroads, etc.
Evidently he had not heard of the ma
tive women OF India, who make up Il
large proportion of the laborers in the
department OF public works. EN-
ployed all over India are women and
girls, said to be quite as efficient as
men, digging canals. making reser-
yoirs, working on roadways and build
ing railroads.

lhat tne remarkable growth Of out
door sports in the last twenty years is
the salvation of those who are unfor-
tunate enough to be handicapped by
wealth and fettered by leisure is ap-
parent to even the most casual OBJ
server. A man does not need TO be an
athlete or tennis player or wheel
man to note the marked effect of these
outdoor pastimes upon those whom
stern necessity has not condemned to
ordinary physical employmentS. Nei-
ther does one need vivid Imagination
to picture the condition of these classes
If they were denied participation in
outdoor sports. Twenty years ago"
says Casper Whitney, in the Indepenv
dent, the popular set at the various
clubs consisted of those young men
who sat in the windows with their feet
on the ratings and glasses by their
sides. Now the glasses have been ban
ished and the young men of influence
are active In yachting, hunting, polo,
football. baseball, rowing, golf. and
so FORTH This marked change for the
better is not confined to the club
world, however. 1t extends through
out the whole United States, and the
result Is seen in the glorious physical
development of the young men and
women whom we meet everywhere
The wonderful physical hardihood Of
our soldiers many OF whom came from
offices and stores, which excited so
much comment during the war with
Spain Is attributed by Mr.. Whitney to
the growth among us of those outdoor
sports which, strange as it may seem,
have been fostered by the wealthy and
fashionable classes. 1t is Mr.. Whit
ney's belief that the rise of outdoor
sports Is not craze that will present
ly subside and leave us cooped M in
doors again with our tiannels and orr
grog and doctors prescriptions" We
are outdoors to stay. Our Anglo Saxon
instincts draw us toward this Stimula-
ting. muscle-buildlng play. The an
parent subsistence of interest in GER
tain outdoor sports Is really the indica-
tion OF Il more rational enjoyment OF
1t. One might get the impression from
looking about the streets that bicycling
had declined. If you 20 into the coun-
try, however, you will find that this
Is not the case. The bicycliSts have
found that riding n wheel in the city
Is nerve-racking, hazardous and un-
satisfactory and now they ride i'm the
country. One of the good things that
golf has done. says Mr. Whitney, has
been 10 provide outdoor amusement for
people of middle age. Previous. to the
advent of golf there was no outdoor
game for them that could he properly
! characterized as sport. The craze fea-
ture has now gone out of golf and it
has settled down as Il "systemized con-
stitutional." Along with growth of
! sports among us there has also been Il
growth of the true sportsman feeling
sport for sports sake, and not merely
TO win over Il competitor. The grow
ing tendency Of Americans Ito play
the game for the sake of the game" Is
the most hopeful sign In the field of
outdoor sports in this country.

WHAT THE CHINESE EAT.
Rice Is Not the Principal Diet of the
Common People.

Common People.
1t is the popular belief in this cOun.
try that rice is the chief diet of the
lower classes of China. This is erro
neous, for rice is luxury from their
point of view, because too costly fo1
everyday consumption. They eat much
pork, which costs little for hogs Of

bered that the pig is decidedly Il clean

Rev. DR.. Williams. in his "Middle
Kingdom says that the Chinese in the
vicinity of Canton, from whom are re-
cruited nearly all of the pig-tailed i'm.
migrants to this country. have re.
markable appetite for cats. One fre.

meat looking so white and clean as to
be almost appetizng. They are kept
alive in the shops, too. in cages ready
for killing. Because they are so pro.

they can be raised proftably. Cats
eyes are considered great delicacy by
the rich, those of black cats being re-
garded as choicest and commanding the
highest price. Rats and mice are sell
dom eaten, except in case of famine;
they are too hard to catch To he cheap.
But among the Chinese there is an old
joke about an imaginary dish called
"honey and squeak" made by inclosing
live mouse in a piece of honeycomb.

In the six Rocky Mountain States of
Colorado. Idaho, Montana. Nebraska,
Utah and Wyoming, agriculture is
largely dependent on irrigation. The

have water commissioners, who re-.
celve all applications and determine all
