NOT A FAILURE.

l Gentlemen at the Hague conference l cried Peace, peace" and there hasn't been much peace since, but Baron d'Estournelles, who was one of the
 French representatives at the confer ence, delivered an address the other day in Vienna before distinguished audi ence of exalted diplomats and others in
 which he argued that the practical re-
 suits of the conference were actual and important in spite of such 'disconcert-
 ing occurrences as the Transvaal war
 and the invasion of China. It could
 not he said, be seriously contended that
 the cases of either China or the Trans
 vaal came within the scope of the
 Hague convention. Tn the case of Chi
 ma the Tribunal of Arbitration was not
 applicable It could only be resorted to
 when two or more governments were at
 variance. But there the states compos-
 ing the far eastern concert were on the
 one side and nobody on the other. As
 to the Transvaal, while he, like all the
 world, deplored that war, he held that
 1t had no bearing upon the conference.
 Everybody would recognize that fact who was governed by reason and not by sentiment. There was no sound ob- jection from political standpoint to be urged against the refusal of the British government to agree to the ad- mission of the Transvaal to the confer ence If, notwithstanding that refusal, the Transvaal had been invited to The Hague England would, of course, have declined to attend, and her example would have been followed by other states which were not at all enthusias- tic on the subject. One of them cer- tainly would have been France. The Baron then proceeded to dilate upon the immense services of which the Court | of Arbitration would be capable if it's existence were realized and the Powers were willing to submit to it all cases within it's competence.

GUILDS IN CHINA.

Complete Organization of Industrial
 Society There
 It is impossible for a native who
 earns his living in trade or by skilled
 work not to belong to guild. Indeed, the guild regulates the affairs of every properly constituted Chinese to whose labor dignity attaches. It is all insti- tuition that has fastened itself upon this people with the growth of centuries, and its cohesive quality and influence are Esuch that trades unions and labor or ganizatio of all kinds in other lands are mere experiments by comparison. Guild edicts elsewhere may be tentative. Here they are final. The people bow to them and the government assents. Not only has every trade its guild, but eve- ry locality. so that not detail of in- dustrial life in China escapes guild no- tice.
 There is no such thing as getting be- hind them, for they are ingrained in the national composition. Fortunately, they seem to be managed with dlscre- tlon. They attend to the business for which they were organized. No suspi- cion of meddling with outside affairs ever attaches to them. If their power, could be used in politics it would be- overwhelming, but tradition and prece- dent govern them, as almost everything else in China, and they dictate that a guild house is place to talk shop and little else.
 While this holds true and states the essence of the organization, the guild is also club When one sees a fine there is not much danger in going amiss in concluding that 1t is an official residence, a temple or a guild, and as these varieties of buildings ara distinctly adorned, the eye needs little practice to tell them apart. The guild is usually the most attractive. It con- sists architecturally of a group of buildings, with quadrangular arrange ment and small, narrow entrances, which enable gatekeepers to know who passes within and to keep out those who do not belong there.
 The interior buildings furnish general and special meeting rooms, quarters for committees and council, a hall with a stage for entertainment and joss com partment in which stands the image of the divinity on whose protection the guild relies. Usually the central quad

Sheriff Pearson, of Portland, Maine, has given the name of "sandpeeps" to the tiny f1asks holding two ounces of whiskey that are so common in Maine, because they are like the little birds in being about all stomach and head. A 'sandpeep," when ready for the mar ket, contains what is rated as one drink of whiskey, usually of very poor quail ity, and 1t retails, bottle and all, at 15 cents It is easily handled in the public streets without detection. In some saloons the whiskey traffic is car ried on almost entirely by the aid of these little pocket fasks, thus doing away with thetus of glasses, and in- curing less risk of seizure, the source of supply being at safe distance from the saloon. The liquor deputies a few days ago applied to the court for war rant to search the person of a man who they had reason to believe was pursu- ing the avocation of a pocket peddler They found sixty-three of these little

HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding the Morning Cup.

"Oh how hard II was to part with cof-
fee, but the continued trouble with con-
stipation and belching was such that
finally brought myself to leave it off.
Then the question was, what should
we use for the morning drink? Tea was
worse for us than coffee; chocolate and
cocoa we soon tired of; milk was not
liked very WELL and hot water we could
not endure.
About two years ago we struck upon

months old would not take milk, so we
tried Postum and found she liked 1t and

day, and has been, one of the health

not children themselves been too ig-
norant and weak to recognize or de-
mand them.
All ancient people required hlial obe-
dience and parental or ancestor wor-
ship. Moses, the reputed giver of the
Ten Commandments, demanded that
honor be paid father and mother in or
der that one enjoy length of days; and
this may be vital source of the strict
and admirable Jewish family life. The
Chinese Holy Writ also commands the
most abject slavery to the wants or
caprices of parents-mothers-in es-
pecially to be waited upon and obeyed.
So do all Orientals consider the child
the chattel of the parent, to be given
in marriage without choice, the proper
ty rights lasting as long as the life
of the parent.
Doubtless American youth may profit
by lessons learned from the Chinese,
but this does not diminish the certain
rights which children have, by virtue
of the fact that they are here without
their own volition. Brought into the
world with no choice of heredity or en-
vironment, they have the inalienable
right to tender care during infancy, to
harmonious home, to the example of
every possible moral quality in father
and mother. 10 an education, to
as much liberty in personal life
as is compatible with their
youth and inexperience, to freedom of
choice in vocation and marriage.
Many more subtle and less evident
conditions they also have a right to
expect-to be born in wedlock, to be
conceived in deepest affection. and to
be of a family sufficiently small to adj
nit of personal comfort, good educa-
ton and financial ease; to the stimulus
of an intellectual and moral home; to
a wise enlightenment upon the nature
of vice, which may prevent sins of ig-
norance and folly
1t is a sad reflection with the better
class of this generation how children
once were beaten, neglected, kept ST.
lent, put to bed hungry, and indiffer-
entity educated. Yet such was the case,
and though a hardy race" may have

too big and too much emphasis of bust.
In matters of trimming, she is speak
ingly definite, loud" If we may use
the word, everything being chosen with
intent to show. Her cape collars are
deeper than all others, her colored hose
more brilliant, and since sockless
bodices may be worn in the street, she
goes forth in a frock only one degree
| removed from low-necked.
Such are the vagaries of the woman
who does not know where to draw the
line. She is the scion of the ever-ready
reformer, seeking whom he may de-
YOUR, rich food for the funny pencil,
and an object of contempt for all pos
, terity.
So, extravagant ladies, and those
really ignorant of the cult of clothes,
here are few hints for your future be-
havior.
If in type you run to the curly and
ample-what the cruel world denomi-
mates as the frowsy and fat-avoid fly
ing ends, picture hats and large pat
terms.
If your figure is stiff, turn your back
on hard straight lines, tucks that en-
circle the body and wide stripes, and
remember that a fat waist is improved
by narrow belt.
Airy strings that tie under the chin
will soften a countenance too war
worn for the hat above it, and unless
you find the most becoming mesh in the
world eschew wells.
The new wells, with their big velvet
patches, golf sticks and criss-cross
meshes, are singularly unbecoming.
Not one woman in a hundred looks
well in them; and when a black mesh
overlays white one-a favorite veil OF
the season-with any but the most
blooming faces, the result is ageing
Hats cannot be too carefully chosen.
Thin arms require sleeves with SOFT
dropping effects. The single cut pic
lures very bad sleeve for a woodeny
arm, though it may be worn with i'm
punity by gracefully managed men,
Der.
Few women realize the importance OF
dressing the arm properly. To the
French the sleeve is the important part
of the whole corsage, and a sleeve spoil
ed in the making is a bodice marred.
Many Partisan ladies who know the re-
quirements of their figures better even
than the dressmaker insist on looking
after these details themselves, even TO
sewing in the sleeves.
Apropos of this finished knowledge OF
dress, a charactistic story is told OF
the divine Sara. Contrary to command
Felix one day sent home a bodice with
the sleeves sewed in, whereupon the
great actress indited him the following
reproof:
"Sir, only two persons in the world
know how to sew in my sleeves-myseh
and my maid"
To conclude, frilled skirts are charm
ing on tall, willowy figures, but they
make a short, plump woman look IKE
a dumping. The combination of BLACK
and white, carried to excess, gives 4
look of eruption painful to behold. ana
a skirt too long in front would make
Venus awkward.
In word, sobriety should be the text
for all who aspire to elegance in dress
And II changes are to be made In ac-
cepted modes-modes which the best
tastes have agreed upon-let them DC
in the shape of notifications, a delicate
pruning down that will make the gar
ment possible for successive seasons,

been thus developed, it is noticeable
that it never desires its own offspring
to suffer like hardships.
When Froebel, the loving German,
with his marvellous perception, gather
ed a few little ones about him in his
ndergarten-garden of children-his
conception of child nature and aesthetic
training was wholly new, and conse-
quently unpopular. That children
should be happy, artistic. trained to
sing and dance. to rejoice in life for
the mere sweetness of living, was a
preposterous and well-inspired idea to
our Puritan antecedents even of re-
cent date. We now have kindergartens
in every city of any size in the United
States. and in several states they are
adjuncts to the public school system.
Mothers meetings in aristocratic neigh
borhoods and in slums, a National
Mothers Congress, and scores of edu-
cational mothers clubs show the grow
ing tendency to study the problems of
parents and rights of children.
There are, however, many more diff
cult and intricate problems for indi-
vidual families to settle than can be
comprehended under any general re-
cipes for the training of children. The
parent who speaks CURLY and indif-
ferently to child often wounds its SEN
sitive soul as permanently as one
brushes delicate flower. The father
who permits himself vices, great or
small. either lessons his influence with
his sons, often causing them to lose all
faith in human nature, from the shock
of finding their idolized father capable
of sin; or he assists them along the
downward path by his own example of
frallty or Viciousness. Thus the child
either goes with him or against him.
In the one case it's morals are de-
stroyed; in the other it's happiness.
The mother, who either from too great
laxity and indifference or too much
discipline" loses her daughters con-
fidence, forfeits the finest vocation in
the world-the development of the ex-
panding child-mind, and she also in
ours serious risks of having the young
life blighted by its ignorance of exist
ing conditions and the moral laws of
the universe for want of a mothers
counsel
This being the case, how can those
who have the temerity to assume the
responsibility of parenthood be indiffer-
ent to the delicate duties involved, and
ignore the indisputable rights of those
little ones who did not ask to be born,
and sometimes in their infant misery,
as we'll as their mature years, wish
that they never had been?
