Scene in a SIanchurian Village.

A typical scene in a Manchurian vii
lage is thus described by correspond
ent of the London News: "One after
noon we pulled up NEAR three shanties
ON a woodslde, aud a gang Of Chinese
all squabbling and making noises
like dogs growing over bones-fought
with one another to get on a platform,
where a boiler, made by New York
firm, was chained. There was a scuhle.
One Chinese was pushed backward
and fell His head hit the metal and
cracked like a nut. He gave a wriggle
and died. The Russians who saw the
accident were affected. The Chinese
laughed. He lay for an hour in the
sun, until 1 undid his sleeping rug
and spread it over his face He was
soon forgotten. A Chinese threw some
hot water over a growing dog, and
made it howl At this there were
shrieks Of mirth. The engine pulled
and groaned and jecked the wagons

spot was two Cinnamon pitching mud
at the same dog to keep it from shifting

The Charm of the WeIl-Dressed Woman
The time-henored remark that

dispute. Doubtless there are many
women that are entirely dependent up
on the cut and fit of their gowns for
their attractive appearance. Again, if
the women that appear the best are
studied carefully it will be discovered
that their chief charm lies in their con-
tour and carriage, and that clothes are
a secondary consideration. To-day the
walk Of the average up-to-date woman
of refinement is nearly perfect. 1t is
a graceful glide Women also stand
better. They are erect, with shoulders
thrown back, and they have ceased
throwing their hips back in an exag-
gerated manner, a fashion all too prev
alent last season. The straight cor

might withdraw the demurrer and defend

Freedman obtained a temporary injunction

and Philadelphia clubs.
spalding demurred to the complaint on
the ground that the court had no Jurisdic,
