transition from America and Europe to
China and back again. From the mar
row, picturesque shopping streets,
with curious signs and carvings of
quaint device, andtheir men and wom-
en- in costumes of varied hue, is but a
step or two, and you are in America or
any of number of European cities, as
the case may be. Each has her colony,
and in each the customs of the country
are distinctly apparent.
Any pleasant afternoon, and espe-
cially on hunt days, driving or walking
along Bubbling Well road, the aristo-
cratic boulevard Of the town, one might
almost imagine himself on Fifth av-
enue or Rotten Row, from the great
number of well-Gressed women, hand
some men and fine horses. The con-
Meeting link between this fashionable
road and the Bund, or river front, is
Nankin road, or, as it is generally
called, the e"Maloo." This is lined
most of the distance with native shops,
which gradually give place to some
very handsome American and Euro
pean ones, ending at Shanghai's great
est glory, her Bund. Handsome clubs,
banks, hongs and residences embellish
one side, while between it and the river
lies beautiful stretch of green sward
and shade trees.
Regarding the social life of Shang-
hal, it is divided into well-defined sets,
as almost everywhere else. Only few
times year. as at some specially large
entertainment, do these different CO.
teries come into contact.
The aristocratic Chinaman and his
Caucasian neighbor are extravagant
entertainers. The Chinese make splen-
did cooks, and as the Shanghai market
is unrivaled anywhere for variety, the
menus at luncheons and dinners are
remarkably varied and elaborate.
Many men are invited to these affairs,
and they are usually in the majority.
The luncheons are served at midday,
tea at four and dinner at eight o'clock.
Theatrical performances and concerts
do not commence until nine and after.

fashioned anchor, over which they
have been pronounced by the United
States government to be great i'm
provement. Heretofore there was a
great deal of gearing attached to the
use of the ordinary ships anchor, and
a great deal of time was consumed by
the ships crew in weighing and maxi
ing anchor. The tremendous stock
of the anchor was always in the way,
being clumsy thing to handle.
One great advantage of the newer
anchor is that it is without stock,
making ii less formidable to the sailor,
and taking up less room on deck. But
that is not its chief virtue, by any
means.
The old-fashioned anchor will not al
ways stay put after being dropped
overheard. The stockless anchor, aft
err reaching landing place. plows it
self into the floor of the ocean with a
grip that will never let go while there
is a bottom to clutch.
The stockless anchor is an Amer
lean production. Heretofore, almost
all anchors of large size have been
made abroad.

prove remedy for many existing ills
in the army.
In general way, the new staff is but
O board of directors for the army,
with the president and secretary OF
war as president and vice president of
the organization. When completely or
gained it will be composed of 43 men,
bers, of which Gen. S. b. NJ. Young
will be the chief. He will have as
ISOLATED with him two general officers,
Maj. Gen. Henry c. Corbin and Brig.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss. Four colonies,
six lieutenant colonies, IL majors and
20 captains complete the personnel OF
the new corps.
The head of the corps will be chief
of staff to the president. He will act
as advisers to the president, to the sec
rotary of war and also to the chiefs of
the bureaus in the war department.
The chief duties of the staff will be
to prepare for war in time of peace.
1t will arrange the details having ref
erencet ot the transportation and m obil-
ization of troops at every point. 1t
will prepare for the establishment of
supply depots, and arrange for the pro-
curing of supplies in sufficient quanti-
ties to feed an army of almost any
size the country may need in time OF
war. 1t will secure information thai
may be desirable in time of war, as to
the strength and resources of all pos
sible enemies, and outline campaigns
to meet all possible contingencies, In
fact, it is expected that it will tend
to correct the many serious errors into

which the army fell durinS the wal
with Spain, and later in the Philip
pines. 1t will in fact prepare for wal
on paper, so that when war comes, nc
matter where or with whom, the plans
for mobilization and campaigns will
be at hand, and not have to be made in
the rush Of an emergency.
Four years Is the length Of time
which an officer may serve on the gen.
eral staff. At the end of that time he
must go. back to his duties in the line
or field Nor can favoritism be shown
in the selection of officers for duty on
the staff. The president appoints only
the general officers of the staff.
while the staff itself names the other
officers to fill all vacancies that may
occur in its ranks, no matter what the
cause of the vacancy may be, and the
selections are to be for merit alone.
This new change in our military or
ganization places the lieutenant gen.
eral of the army in an entirely new po-
sition. Under the old rule he has been
in name the commanding general of
the army, a position which has meant
much or little at different times. I'm
der the new rule the lieutenant gem
eral may or may not be chief of the
general staff. as the president pleases.
or he may be assigned TO command OF

about the first of May. They mark the
close of the winter and the approach
of the much-dreaded summer. Nine
tenths of the ponies raced are bred
north of Picking. and ii would be diff
cult to find anyone who is not interest
ed in some way in the events as it would
be to find a bank clerk who did not
own, if not all. at least a quarter share
in one of the uncertain tempered,
tough little Tartar bred racers.
Before the opening of the races every
incoming coast steamer is crowded
with visitors from all parts Of China,
coming to spend their yearly holiday
amidst the whirl of pleasures and ex-
citement of the race week. After the
races those more fortunate board
their comfortable house boats to sail
up some creek and cruise among the
hills and lakes at its source, while 9TH
ers take themselves back to their la
Dor, to await the coming of the next
race week.

Her position as a station agent is
unique, and interest in her work be-
comes personal when it is known that
she is only % years old, and widow
who is working to support a toddling
baby of two.
In the year that she has been agent
Mrs. Gumprecht has inaugurated a
new regime, and the villagers who lor-
merly found the station convenient
loafng place, have been forced to seek
haven elsewhere. Men inclined to
hang around are peremptorily ordered
off, and it has come to be pretty gen.
orally understood in the community
that the agent is to be obeyed. She
keeps a watchful eye out, too, for
children, and never allows them to play
about the station or the tracks Her
own baby is kept safely at her home,
a. mile distant
Unlike many widows, Mrs. Gum
precht did not get her position by be-
coming the successor of her husb band
in the place. but was led to apply for
it through the belief that she was com.
petent, and the knowledge that the
male agent. disgruntled was about TO
depart. She is paid $50 month for
her services.
