CURRENT COMMENT
CHINA'S MILITARY DEVELOP
 MENT.

Military observers and others fami!- jar with China look for a speedy de velOpment of China into q strong mill tary power. A sentiment of national ity has grown up among the people. and public opinion in China on the subect of war and warriors is under going great change.
 The worthIessness of Chinese has not been due to any special unftneSs for military service of the Chinese peo- pie. It is the result of a deliberate policy. steadily pursued for centuries. to keep China peaceful by keeping il unable to fight. The literary spirit has been assiduously cultivated 2t tl,e expense of the military. The people have been taught 10 regard the milf tary spirit as q relic of barbarian. co contemn the profession of arms and to treat soldiers as the lowest and most unworthy members of the con- munitv China has long furnished au object lesson, worth needing by the apti-nilitarists of this country as 60 the pass as to which devotion to such ideas can bring country.
 These doctrines are rapidly losing their hold on the Chinese mind. Some of Cnina's foremost statesmen are con vinced that China cannot hold it's own or even exist without an army strong enough to enable it to resist the az gressions of the western nation. and which it is now in direct contact. and are giving their convictions practical expression. On December 9th last an imperial edict was issued appointing a committee of three high officials. conspicuous for their progressivenesS 10 reOrganize the armies of ;3il the Chinese provinces on a national basis. with similar arms. equipment and or ganization-
 Military schools are. being establish ed and some of the high mandarins arc endeavoring by example and pTecept to- make their fellow mandarins send their sons to these schools to be edu- cated. Much is being done to raise the army in popular estimation, and it will not be long before the old point of view has entirely disappeared.
 Within the recollection of men now living the Japanese population was as unmilitary as the Chinese. The pro- fession was the exclusive privilege Of } limited class. and the pca@ants who now make up the rank and file of Jap ans great and effective army. were considered utterly unfit for war. There is every reason to believe that th" change in China, which has obviously begun. will be as rapid as it has been in Japan.-Pochester Democrat arG Chronicle

ESTIMATED ACE OF THE EARTH.

Lord Kclvin's estimate )f the age Of the world is: Not SO great as 40 mill ion years; possibly as little as 20 mill ion years: probably 30 million years.
 These estimates are based on mathe-
 nautical and physical considerations. The geolOgists have another way of arriving at the results. The stratifed rocks attain a thickness of 100, ,O00 feet. Some of the sedimentary rocks. they observe, have grown g foot in 739 years; others have taken G,800 years to rise to that height. Thus the per iod Of time required to build up 1O0,0Gn feet of sedimentary rock has varied according to locality from 73 million years to 6SO million years. It follows that the active work of creation has lasted for a cycle between these two

H,rh L,rht. of Fashion.

The line so dear to the Parisienne is by no means lost in the exceedingly popular idea for fullness in skirts, for a close fitting hip is still preserved, not withstanding gathers, plaits and tucks.
 Smart walking costumes with kilted skirts and short jackets have found a becoming complement in the new jaunty small toque entirely composed of plaited silken straw simply garnish- ed with QuiIls, ribbon or kilted straw.
 Gathers, as used by the best gown builders, appear only in suitable ma terials, such as silky canvas, voile, crape or mousseline, and these pretty transparent fabrics veil handsome bro caded silks.
 Close fitting, short basked jackets have been largely prepared for the spring, and these will be worn by the knowing ones, while for the multitude the sack rules supreme.
 A leading fashion note is pompadour. and there are innumerable materials silk delaines, cOttons and muslin-to be had, covered with tiny flowers.
 Very fetching shirt waist sailor hats are made of butchers linen trimmed with embroidered batiste lace and satin ribbon. %ess

"A new method of testing eggs for xheir freshness has been communicated to the Agricultural society of Saxony. An egg plunged in water tends to rise with more buoyance according to its age, owing to enlargement of the emp ty space at the thick end by evapora- ton of water from the white; hence the egg takes different position in the water. Fresh eggs remain hori- zontal, an egg three to five days old makes an angle of 20 degrees with the horizon, one eight days gives an angle over 45 degrees, and at the end of four teen days the angle is 60 degrees. An egg three weeks old lies at 70 degrees. One three months remains vertical, and when 1t is older still 1t, floats.

THEY MAKE BETTER WIVES.
Women of Up-to-Date Tastes and Habits Preferable to the OId-
 Fashioned Ones.

"Let old-fashioned people croak as they will" remarked well-known literary woman lately, says CasselPs Journal, "but in my opinion the mod ern girl is great advance on the maidens of generation ago.
 Freedom and fresh air have made her more self-reliant and healthier in tone. She may be more hoydenish but she is less hysterical. Instead of working samplers or she'd ding sickly tears over sentimental novels. she is out and about getting an insight into the world and it's ways.
 "As a result she makes good wire, one who can share her husband s tastes, understand his difficulties and act as. his chum and partner. The wife of the past was too often childish, sentimental woman. with so little knowledge of the world that she was quite helpless if it was her fate to be deprived of her husbands support. But to-day it is not an un- common thing to find women as capable in business as their nus bands"

 lightfulIy Quaint old Designs.
 Linens in plain colors are sure to be worn later on, especially in champagne , and in reseda tones, as well as the riverside suitings, closely allied to crash, and hollands and drill. Linen shot with white and mercerized cottons and linens are preparing in large quan- titles for summer and so are the mer- cerized fancy coatings with line checks, revived from twenty years ago. Linen canvas in self colors is singu- larly elegant, and piques, plain and fancy, and spotted duck are summer favorites. There are striped suitings and fancy cottons having the appear l ance of ribbon threaded through tri- l pie stripe. White and ecru are well blended, especially in the brilliantes for blouses and children's frocks, and a mixture of silk and linen with tiny lit 1 tie motifs in relief.
 ] Sheer lawn can be strongly recom- mended for evening blouses in all col ors, and the embroidered grass lawns make pretty evening as well as day | gowns There are some new applique spots which are quite wonderful-black on light green and other colors. They are applied to linens and would be cap f ital for seaside wear.
 Irish linen is heavy and durable and affords good choice. Printed drills and twiis will be worn and all kinds l of sateens
 The zephyrs are very cheap, but they are not so much in demand as they were few years ago, or the Galateas, 1 though there are some tempting shep- herds plaids lightly shaded.
 A new material is the soie delaine, which looks like wool and silk, but is really all cotton. Some of the patterns are like the old English wall papers in continuous circles formed of tiny flowers tied with ribbon bows and in- closing more flowers. When these are mercerized, they are extremely attrac- tive.
 All kinds of pastoral designs, some with pretty little rakes and hoes tied with ribbon, are curious and pretty, and one pattern looks like bobbinet. There are full, rich floral designs on all these, some covering the entire pattern, some appearing between stripes, tiny little punches of violets peeping out be tween checks.
 Tn June no doubt there will be plenty of grass lawns seen. for this year they will show silk stripes and white om- broidery between and pretty chine stripes with silk lines on either side.
 Among the most delightful features of the summer stuffs are all the chine effects introduced into everything and the pretty punches of misty flowers and multicolored flowers so suggestive of the happiest days of Vatican and Boucher.
 The new line canvas displays fancy stripings like drawn thread work. witt an interthreading of green silk here and there, and in the grass lawns these lacelike stripes assert themselves as well as borderings, the simpler the bet ter.
 Voile is a material which is very pret ty with lace insertion stripes.

How to Clean and Keep It In Good

How to Clean and Keep 1t In Good
 Condition.
 The care of furniture woods is an exceedingly interesting part of the in- teIligent housekeeper's duties. The daily light dusting must supplement the weekly rubbing if the bloom" in this instance not desirable, is to be kept away.
 As rule, the use of oily restoratives is to be deprecated, says a writer in Harper's Bazaar. Unless applied by a tireless arm and thoroughly rubbed in, and thereafter the piece kept in perfect polish by a daily rubbing, the oil is sure to form crust sooner or later which is gummy to the touch and not pleasing to the eye. For this reason new furniture should be kept as long as possible without the application of such restorattves.
 Furniture which has been finished with shellac or varnish, whether in glossy or dull finish, should never be cleansed with soap or water. Soap is made to cut oily substances, and in the performance of the service for which it is made eats the oil out of the waxed, oiled or shellacked surface 1t touches and destroys 1t.
 Where white spots appear on polish ed surfaces from the dropping of liq- uids or from heat the immediate appli. cation of raw hnseed oil will generally restore the color. The oil should be left on the affected spot for several hours or over night. Alcohol will per form the service if applied at once tc rosewood or highly finished mahogany Tn each instance, when the color has returned, the spot should be repolished with piece of cheesecloth moistened with turpentine.

How to Clean Ennmeled shoen.

Enameled shoes can be kept in good condition by washing them in sweet milk. All dust and mud should first be removed; then the shoes should be thoroughly washed with the milk and then wiped dry with soft cloth.
