London, May l. L a m.-The discussion In

any light on the Manchuria question. Lord
Lansdowne in the upper chamber and Lord Gran

these official statements gave little satisfaction
The impression is gaining ground that nothing
short of force will turn Russia out of Man

sufficient diplomatic pressure, Russia will with
draw her demands for the present. but the COM

question of time. The situa ton is undoubtedly
grave. Still war is unlikely so far England

and will have a soothing effect on the nerves of those who inhabit it.
 As at this season of the year houses are being made comfortable for the winter with warm cur tains, it may be appropriate to observe that the majority of people do not pay enough attention to the way in which curtains should be hung. They buy love ly material, and absolutely spoil it in the making and the hanging of it. There is an easy method of preparing curtains for hanging which if tried will be found very satisfactory. It applies to both sub stantial materials and muslins. Turn down two inches and half of material. then take a piece of tape an inch wide, and put it on to cover the raw edge, leaving a heading of two inches Stitch this tapo at each side, and run narrow tape through it, joining a pair of curtains with it. Each curtain should have thirteen hooks on it, twenty-six to a pair, and be careful not to pin the drawing tape when putting them in. After the hooks are in, draw the tape up till the curtains are the size required, and after hanging them let the tape be tied up tight at each end This method of hanging entirely does away with the baggy look which so often mars the appearance of handsome cur tains, and disperses the fullness evenly.

When Is a Man Rich?

From Cent Per Cent
 A man with a single million may tell you in all seriousness that he is poor. Judged from the plane of the pluto-mil- lionaires he is indeed too poor to enter into and hold his own with their recrea- tions, pleasures, functions, etc. A man with $50,O00 is considered well-to-do. He himself may claim no more. But from the point of view of the man with noth- ing at all $5O,0O0 might purvey all the dreams of avarice. But even the penni- less man who has a spirit like Cyrano should be counted rich, for he feels it.
