WHAT CHINESE NAMES MEAN.
Geographical Prefxes and Suffixeo
All Have a Significance.

A few definitions of Chinese geo
graphical prefXes and sufIiXes may be
If service in calculating the nomen-
clature of current war news. First,
preAxes: Ia, as in Taku, means great,
and sao, as in iao-Ping-Thou, means
small. Pei or pc, nan, tung and 81
are respectively north. south, east and
west. Thus the Pei-IIo is the North
River, etc. Shang and hal are upper
and lower. Pal, hei and whang are
white, black and yellow. SutfiXes are
more numerous and familiar. Kiang.
no tchuan, ula, muren and tchu each
and all mean river. Thus Yalu KianS
AMI Lao Ho are simply Yalu River
and Lao River Shut, kou, thsuan,
XIII, gol and ussu are unfamiliar terms,
meaning brook or small river HUI,
nor and ONO mean lake, as in the we'll
known Lob Nor and Kosso Col. Pc,
tse and ten mean a small lake or
swamp, or q town situated near such
a place. Hal means sea; thus Whang-
Hal is the Yellow Sea, Tung-Hai is
the Eastern Sea and Nan-Hai is the
Southern Sea. Tao and sometime shan
means island, but shan more often
means a mountain range. Ling is a
pass over mountain range.

The Faded Tin Type.

Beneath the weight of many years his
aged back was bent.
But from his gentle big blue eyes there
shone a light that lent
A radiance to his old face, and as a seat
he took
He glanced about him with a smile-then
sought his pocketbook.
And every one who gaZed his way
Wished that his carfare they might pay
For that one CHEEKY look.
His clothes. though old and worn were
clean and patched with loving care,
His trembling hands in home made
gloves; the well-combed fringe of
hair
Beneath his almost furless cap-all told
OF some one who
Loved this old man as much as when
LIES partnership was new.
A moment more and he unwound
The string with which his purse was
And brought his wealth to view.
A scrap of cloth, a pencil small a key,
and next a dime
he seemed lost for a time;
a faded tintypc, that was ala sweet
old woman'S face,
And yet he kissed 1t softly ere he put it
back in place.
And then we knew what made his life
So happy-just faithful wife
Gave his old age its grace,

He Won With Western Methods.

Lieut.. Somerville of the British
navy recently related the following in
an address before the Royal Geograph-
ical Society: THE New rapid of the
Yangtse was formed in 1896. The
land slipped in after the heavy rains
and filled up the bed of the river. No
one up above knew anything about it
and as the junks were coming down
500 were wrecked in a whirlpool at
the foot Of the rapid. The story is
that it was the work of dragon. A
friend of mine-Ferdinand Tyler-was
sent up there by the Chinese govern.
ment and he tried to exercise the
dragon. This landslip, so 1t was said,
had been formed by the dragon turn
ing over in his sleep Mr. Tyler tele-
graphed to ask permission to begin.
They telegraphed him that first of all
the ancient methods must be tried to
see If the dragon could not be moved
and then, If he would not move, west
ern methods might be attempted.
Well, the dragon would not move and
Mr.. Tyler started with dynamite and
shifted a bit of the river"

Nntriment in Rice Water.

When boiling rice some cooks allow
the cereal to absorb all the water in
which it Is cooked, while others keep
il supplied with more water and then
drain off and throw it away. When
the latter method is adhered to much
Of the nutriment of the rice is wasted.
The orientals long ago discovered
that rice water contains the very
essence Of nutriment, and travellers
in oriental countries when attacked
by stomach troubles incident to the
climate have found that rice water,
when sweetened and favored with
some favorite extract, and set away
to cool, makes a Jelly which may be
eaten cold with cream. This makes a
very nice dessert to serve to children.

The public tea house is the Jap's

tertainment. Tea is served in wee

thimbleful of liquid. If he desires en-.
tertainment he orders a geisha girl
with his tea or sake" and she chats
with him, sings to him, dances for him
or plays cards with him at the table
between cups.
While these geisha girls are slaves,
they are not always social outcasts.
They are trained to be witty and vi.

But the foreigner should beware Of
making presents to any Japanese girl
unless he is bent upon matrimony. To
present her with any sort of a gift,

regarded as a proposal of marriage,

Tolstol,s Outdoor Life.

Still vigorous at the age OF rs
years, Count Leo Tolstoi nearly ev-
cry day either takes ride on his
favorite horse, goes Tor a walk under
the linden trees with his daughter,
Alexandra, or in company with his
great wolfhound, tramps over the
broad acres of the famous estate OF
Ysuaya Polyana. Tolstoi has long
been an ardent out.of-doors man; in
early life hurdle rider of no mean
accomplishment, a hunter and an ath-
lete; in later years a pedestrian to
whom twelve miles a day was an av-
erage walk and to whom day in
the saddle was as nothing.

method of heating houses by steam or

with the change no doubt. We no

hearth for warmth while the rooms
four corners are lowering about the
freezing point. But it is not alone in
the house that summer garments are

Now, children said the teacher,
Il want each of you to think of some
animal or bird and try for a moment
TO be like the particular one you are
thinking about and make the same
kind of noises they are in the habit Of
making"
Here was the command. Here the
finale:
Instantly the schoolroom became a
menagerie. Lions roaring, dogs bark
ing birds singing and twittering, cows
lowing calves bleating, cats meow
ing, etc, all in an uproar and excite
ment-all, with one single exception
OFF in a remote corner little fellow
was sitting perfectly still, apparently
Indifferent and unmindful of all the
rest. The teacher observing him, APP

The SacI1et BAD,

Sachets play an important part in
the modern woman's wardrobe. That
delicate, evanescent perfume that
clings to dainty garments can be
given by sachets alone, for nquid per-
fumes are invariably the reverse of
subtle or delicate.
Nearly all stralght-front corsets are
worn with a sachet tucked into the
top. Sometimes it is long, straight
cushion, very soft and thin, and deli
cately perfumed; tied around the mid
die with ribbon bow. Again, it may
be heart-shaped and lace-ruffled, with
a tiny bow at the top.

ly, agree at all points. The suns
warmth was far below the average.
The cold and the rains of the sum-

1t is interesting to know, in con-

that Monte Carlo is not only doing
business, the annual profits from
which are about S5,0O0,000, but it is
keeping abreast of the times, by add
ing bridge, baccarat and poker to the
attractions which help to separate
players at the resort from their mon.
ey. However, Monte Carlo has no
