difficulty in making landings most OF

the men slept, and washing away most
of their provisions and nearly all OIL

For days at a time, in the coldest
weather of a northern winter, they
were compelled to lie elinging to the
slippery rock. drenched with Icy water,
exposed to swiftly succeeding storms
of snow and sleet and cut by the sharp
sea winds. During all this time they
had no sufficient means OF warming
themselves. practically no fresh water

all the next year to repair the damage
and it was o until five years had
been spent at the work that it was
completed. The work of fitting the
stones in place was full OF excitement.
Stout bags of sand were swung on a
crane from a boat to the rock. While
they were pitching and tossing In the
air. the men caught them, and piled
and rammed them firmly together.
Sometimes it took three or four stag

Women Favor
Boxers

The women of China are said 10 Ia
vor the Boxers because, like the "on-
on of most other lands, they are tue
sex. Looking at foreigners
whether they be engaged in eYangeii%-
ing or commerce, as the emf Vi
,bo,r religion. they want them driven
ont of the country. They look TO the
poxers TO accomplish this. Women In
China have in several instances shown
themselves capable of acts OF great
heroism. measured by the
of their own country. The great Ii
Hung Chang p%etitioned the empress
IN reward two women of position Tor
acts which would never have been Sc
lected here for particular distinctlon'
One of these was a daughter or the
Chinese minister to London, who mar
.rled at a very early age a man VINO
she had scarcely known, for, IN ac-
eordance with the Chinese custom she
had no hand In the selection OF her
husband. Her family looked after that
and she married him at the appointed
time. 1t is a lucky thing for the
women of a country that has such Gus
toms that they are sometimes TO
fall in love with their husbands after
marriage. This seyenteen-year-old
bride was able to do that and her de-
votion to this husband took a form
that seems remarkable TO western
ideas. When he was Ill and could eat
nothing she cut off a slice Of her arm
and put it in the broth prepared for
him. Whether she thought this treat
ment would cure him or not, he died.
Then she took poison and when the
physicians saved her life against her
will she refused to eat and starved TO
death. Ii Hung Chang petitioned the
empress for some mark of the esteem
In which such a faithful wife should
be held and it was granted to the
woman's family and also to her sister
in-law, who was sister TO no less a
person than the Marquis Tseng. This
over, she tried to kill herself after
her husbands death, but yielded, after
several unsuccessful attempts to the
persuasion of her relatives and con
sented to live on condition that she
be allowed to devote her time to man
aging the estate of her husbands ia
Their. who was at the time Chinese am
bassador to London. This privilege
was granted to her and she felt that

good of her husbands family she had

accomplished something better than
committing suicide In honor of his
memory.
Explanation of the ease with which
women may fall in love with husbands
they have never known before mar
rage may be found In the Chinese
system of education for m From
their earliest youth they are taught
to do their duty as daughters, wives
and mothers. That Is demanded Of
them before everything else and is
even the most important feature Of
their education IN schools. At the
age of IL they are isolated from COM
partnership to await the time of their
marriages. The advent of a girl is
never looked upon with delight in a
Chinese family. They are usually
dearest to their families on the day
they leave the home as brides.
The Chinese woman is taught to be-
leive in a three fold obedience. She
must obey her father in the first in
stance. and after that her husband and
her son. These rules of life prepare
her 10 accept with gratitude any
marks of favor from the second man
she is to obey. if she would follow
what she has been taught. II he Is
gentle and kind she is likely to fall
in love with him when her own ideals
of a husband are merely that he is
one of the men she must obey. AS
Chinese husbands are likely to be good
in certain particulars to their wives
the women are often able to fail In love
with them. Even foreign women who
marry Cinnamon praise them as hus-
bands. London has a Chinatown and
a number of its merchants have mar
ried women of that quarter OF Lon
don, and the women who have tried
the experiment have Jared so well that
their friends followed their example
until a LARGE colony of English wives
live in the London Chinatown. They
are all contented with their lot. al
though their affection does not seem
wholly unselifsh. when one reads that
they can especially recommend their
husbands because the average China
man would rather do his own cooking
than intrust il to his wife. and wonld
also prefer 20 clean up the house and
take care OF the baby. In spite Of
their emphasis of these qualities. the
English wives are said TO live happily
with their Chinese husbands and the
same thing Is true of the rare instances
OF the same sort OF marriage here.

and not only have l never spoken to
them, but | do not know some of them
by name.
Amid all its gregariousness the
house of has its isolation.
Members retain there the eccentricity
or the love of solitude which are char
acteristic of certain temperaments.
Mr.. Charrington, the member for Mile
End, for instance, who is one of the
most universally generous men in the
house, and who is w deaf to a true
tale of undeserved suffering, has rarely
been seer to talk to a single human
being. The same instinct, perhaps,
which made him refuse both a baron
etcy and peerage keeps him apart from
his fellows. He dimes alone, he takes
his single cigar in the smokeroom
alone, he sits on a back bench in the
house, still and ever alone.

Should breach of promise cases be
encouraged? On the one hand there
is sometimes cruel heartlessness dis
played by men, in which cases a YER
dict of humping money payments is
the greatest punishment to the ILL
doer; on the other hand, it is not ne
cessarily the most innocent or the most
deserving who choose to go into court.
The woman who trusts her fair fame
to the tender meTcies of her lover
knows pretty we'll the consequences of
her act, while the really unhappy and
ill-used m who has suffered most,
and whose life is completely shattered,
shrinks from dragging her woes into
the lurid glare of the law courts. Pc
cuniary payments can, after all, only
soothe outraged feelings, very often
the least desirable feelings, those of
rage and anger. The tender, confiding
female loves on in spite of everything
and Is probably the last to bear wit
ness against the man who has ruined
her prospects. No doubt, ample DAM
ages help a future marriage, for, such
is the strange irony of fate, an ac-
quilted murderess, or a fair woman in
a breach of promise case, promptly
find numerous applicants anxious to
claim her hand.-London Graphic.

The congress of the United States

strong and brainy statesmen, If we can
Judge of them from the reports that
come from their assembly halls and
the cloak rooms. There is also a free
dom of personal intercourse which
soon makes all the members friends,
or at least acquaintance. According
to T. p. O'Connor in the London Mail
there is very little sociability In the
British parliament. He says that there
is probably no assembly in the world
where so little social and personal in
