GESTICULATION IN FASHION.
But It Must Be Done Correctly Or the
Effect Is Disa strous.
Viborg, Y. Mark.
DENMARK.

Gesticulation is the fashion now.
Woman must gesticulate to be in the
swim. But she must do it in a correct
manner. It is said that the most fash
ionable people have taken to making ges-
lures, and therefore, of course, all wom-
ankind must paw the air, so to speak
In England many gestures are though
to be undignifed, but not so here. There
is no denying the fact that they heighten
the effect Of conversation, if we'll done.
Just any and every sticking about Of
the hands or motion of the head and
shoulders will not do, declare the teach
ers Of gesticulation, and they are pretty
thick nowadays. Gestures are like the
alphabet. they form a language of their
own. These teachers furthermore say
that gestures are innate in the human
being, like terrible thirst or any other
old thing. and that they merely have to
be brought out and perfected by those
who have made deep study Of the sub
ject.
Gesticulation, in its highest form, must
convey to a person out Of earshot a gen
eyal understanding of a conversation that
is being carried on.-New York Sun.

CHINA STILL NEUTRAL.
Celestial Government Assures Russif
That 1t WEI Not Become Allied
with Japan.

ST. Petersburg, May 16.-2:10 p. m.-
In order to allay Russian apprehension
as to the attitude Of China, the Chinese
minister here has given Foreign Minister
LamsdOrff fresh assurances of the pur-
pose of his government not to violate its
neutrality and to preserve tranquility
throughout the empire. These assur-
ances, which are based on dispatches re-
celved from the Chinese foreign office
and Viceroy Yuan Shi Kai, the COM
mander-in-chief of the Chinese forces,
set forth in the most positive terms that
there IS absolutely no ground to believe
that China will depart from her pro-
claimed attitude.
While there has not been the slightest
fear that the peace of the empire would
be disturbed or that the government
would intervene iii the war;" said the
Chinese minister to the correspondent OF
the Associated Press, 1T was deemed
wise to communicate to Pekin and Vice
roy Yuan Shi Kai the sensa tional rumors
current in Europe.
The Chinese foreign office telegraph
ically reiterated that China is determined
to continue to observe the strictest neu-
trallty, giving support neither to Russia
nor Japan.
No Boxer Uprising.
''Eiceroy Yuan Shi Kai telegraphed
that the rumors of impending uprisings
were without foundation and assured me
THAT repetition Of the Boxer revolt Of
1900 was impossible
The vlceroy is a strong man, who
can be depended upon to preserve order.
The mass OF the army, consisting of TO-
COO men. is distributed in small detach-
mentS throughout the vast territory
which Individually is under Chinese con-
troll. Its duty is to maintain peace and
see that neutral territory is not violated
by either belligerent."
The minister was not advised OF the
attack OF the governor of Foo Chow Oh
the coal mines at Port Adams. He
thinks the circumstances are misunder,
stood and that it will be found that there
was no intention to commit an act OF
hostility against Russia.
Nor was the minister informed of the
reported Chinese attacks on Russian
troops in Manchuria, for which, even If
they occurred, China could not be held
responsible, as the region is comprised in
the theater Of war, which is specifically
exempted from Chinese jurisdiction.
