BOXERS A POOR LOT.
They Are Regarded by Most of th@ People Tn China ns Arrnnt
 Nuisnnces.

An American who is back from China, after q considerable exploration in that land, says that there is good deal of misapprehension in this coun- try as to the makeup of the Boxer legions. They are not politically im- portant, in his view; on the contrary, they represent the revolutionary, un- clean, ignorant element that is to be found i'll every nation, in the sans culottes of Paris, in the dynamiters of Madrid, i'll the rioters of Pennsylvania, the communarGs of the Belgian mill districts, but lower still than these, be- cause the highest level of society and intelligence in China is not very high. The emperor he found to be weak, in- decisive and inconsequent; the em- press, who has usurped his power, is shrewd and foxy, says the Brooklyn Eagle. As to the Boxers, he says: "They are the poorest lot in China, and they have been hypnotized by RSince Tuan and the other leaders.
 Whats the attitude of the mass of the people toward the Boxers? Why, every one is down on them. That's be- cause the people who are intelligent enough to see the drift of events real ize that every outbreak of these mobs makes the nations position more diff cult and perilous. They don'twant any more inyasions of allies, nor any fur ther excuse on the part of Europe for interference with their government, and they realize that it's to their own interest to keep the Boxers quiet. Still, the Chinese have no love for white men. They regard them all with suspicion. Foreign devil is still the common name for us, and the natives who have been Christianized by our missionaries are known by a phrase that might be translated, secondary foreign deyil.'
 When it is remembered that very few white men are in China for their health any more than the Chinese are here for ours; when the forcing of the opium trade on China is recalled; when the violation of tombs and tenn pies, unutterably sacred in Mongolian eyes, is borne in mind; when, also, it is seen that the profits of railroads, telegraph lines and other enterprises are going largely into the hands of strangers, if does not seem remarkable that the Chinese should have little af.. lection for the foreigners. {. z

An Artistic Arm Describea.

The proportions for an artistic arm are as follows: Length of arm from shoulder to finger tips, 28 710 inches; from shoulder to elbow, 12A inches; from elbow to finger tips, 15A inches; around the upper arm, 10 inches; around forearm, SA inches; around elbow, 11as inches, around wrist, 6 inches. One exercise for developing the arms and adding to the shapeli- ness of the shoulder requires a wand or cane, which should be grasped by the hands extended above the head. Swing the arms and shoulders in uni son, first forward, then backward. Ex- tend the arms at fullest length until they are nearly as possible at right an- glcs with the body. Swing in this way at the rate of about Is movements to the minute. The shoulders must be swung with the arms, or the exercise will have little yalue.-C Chicago Daily News

 Brilliant as are the seasons shoes and slippers, the stockings easily keep pace with them. The black silk lead with their usual quiet popularity only some are not so very quiet this season. One finds them plain and ribbed and open-worked as of yore, but many are of a fancifulness that de- lights and surprises.
 Some are inset with long, elliptical medallions of black thread lace, oth- CTS with similar medallions of black net embroidered in color. Some are striped up and down with lines of tiny steel beads, others with lines of black spangles.
 Some are embroidered with stately clocks of severe lines, others with clocks not so severe that burst into little rockets of flowers at the tops. Some are dotted with little rosebuds or wreaths of minute flowers, or bright sunbursts; and the favorite grape de- sign trails over others.
 A great rose adorns the instep of some of the most charming, the stem of the flower scrolling up from the toe of the stocking. There is really no limit to the variety of black silk embroidered stockings.

Sloping Shoulder Is i'm Vogue

Now take the ends in hand and sec saw them across the back of the neck continually.
 This is fine exercise, but as soon as the girl athlete can manageit she must try not to touch her neck with the handkerchief. She must hold her arms behind her head, but the handkerchief ! must not touch the neck. There is a certain shoulder exercise to be ob- tained in this manner which is very refreshing.
 Another exercise is to take the handkerchief by one end and fling it around her head. In the loose end she must tie a weight, and thus, with the handkerchief in her hand, she sits and flings it to the breezes. This waving exercise is good practice for the shoul- ders and it gives them certain boise and agility, so to speak, which will prove very useful in the search for Sloping shoulders.
 Carrying dumb-bells in the hands has also been recommended. But this is tiresome. It does the work, but one becomes weary. The dumb-bells which are heavy are merely carried about, not swung, the object being to exert pull upon the arms and the shoul- ders.
 Rowing is one way tomake the shoul ders slope. The one who is exercising must take the rowing position. This as nearly everyone knows, is a sitting one, with the knees slightly bent and the arms out. In the absence of a pair of oars one can grasp the table legs or any other firm support for the arms. The game is to pull a long, long pull and strong, strong pull, but not long enough or strong enough to in- jure the back.
 A continuation of such exercises as these will in time give curve to prac- tically any pair of square shoulders.

 Although the game originated from the species of tank handball in Lon don in 1870, there were no formal rules drawn up for it until 1885, when "aquatic football'' rules were printed. In 1888 the rules were revised and the sport was called water polo. Since then American colleges have taken we'll to it, and Yale's team has had some sterling struggles with western varsity and athletic club teams dur ing the last few seasons.

Some of the shorter races will be to Princeton, H., and similar points, while later on flies to Emporia, Kan, will be given. Up in Milwaukee the hoining club will begin May 4 with a 20 mile race.

Curious deformations of the suns disk as it sets have recently been studied by Dr. Prinz, of the fuaxa , Belgian observatory, by the aid Of photography. The most common of these are simply indentations of the disk Sometimes there is appearance as of flames issuing symmetrically from opposite sides and uniting above in single jet, which disap- pears to give place to another, formed in the same way. These phe- nomena, according to M.
