Why Russia Occupied Manchuria.

- RITISH opinion the whole seems to take the
view that the Russian occupation of Manchuria, and
l Of Port Arthur in particular act Of wanton
l. aggression, principally the work of prancing pro-
consuls and ambitious generals, whose proceedings
have been reluctantly endorsed by government too
far removed from them to arrest the execution of
their projects and that the government would
be only too glad be quit of the whole ENHANCEMENT
This believe to be notion in France but it
deduced from inaccurate premises The expansion of
Russia in the direction of China has been the hand
work Of adventurous spirits whose proceedings could have
been easily disavowed if unsuccessful 1t is, the

son for checks in Europe 1t is recognized by Russian

towns and railways which the last few years SEEN
The British people had indeed spent great deal less

Assuming the Husbands Name.

Assuming the HuoDauo's Names
The cusoom which makes 1t proper
Tor the wife to assume the name Of
her husband at marriage Is involved
In much obscurity. A recent authority
advances the opinion that 1t originat-
ed from a Roman custom and became
common after the Roman occupation
Of England Thus, Julia and Octavia,
married to Pompey and Cicero, were
called by the Romans Julia Of Pompey
and Octavia of Cicero, and in later
times the married women of most Eu-
ropean countries signed taeir names in
the same way, but omitted the "of."
In spite of this theory it is fact that
as late as the sixteenth and the be-
ginning Of the seventeenth century a
Catherine Parr signed her name with
out any change, though she had been
twice married. We also hear Of Lady
Jane Grey. not Dudley, and Arabella
Stuart, not Seymour. etc. Some think
that the custom originated with the
Ecriptpral idea that the husband and
wife are one. This was the rule of
law as far back as 126S, and 1t was
decided in the case Of Bon versus
Smith, in the reign Of Elizabeth, that
woman by marriage loses her for
mer name and legally receives the
uame Of her husband.

The avenue which leads up to the
philosophers tomb is even more inter

itself. Or each side Of the avenue are
rows Of figures Of huge animals cut in
stone-lions, tigers, elephants and
horses, besides numerous mythical
creatures, such as animals half dog
and half frog, beasts with four legs
and twice as many wings, besides q
multitude of unnamable monsters that
never lived on earth, in the water or in
the air. Taken altogether, the burial
place of Confucius is one of the chief

PI6-FARMIN6 FOR WOMEN.

~~NC<@~~~~~~~>rSC~~
Six years ago daughter of DR.. W.
Seward Webb began an experiment in
woodworking on Shelburne Farms,
Doctor Webb's countryseat on Lake
Champlain. She was sure she had
some business ability, and could make
money if her father would give her a
chance, says a writer In Country Life
In America.
This her father agreed to do. and
the young girl invested twenty dollars
Of her own money in brood SOW, and
with her fathers permission made ar
engagements with the shepherd to care
for the sow and little pigs. As there
was an, abundance Of skim milk, this
was given to her without cost, but all
the grain was charged for at market
prices. From this single investment
she cleared ninety dollars the nrs,
year, two hundred dollars the second
and three hundred dollars the third.
BY this time. the stock had so in.
creased in number as to outgrow its
quarters, and was proving 50 profitable
that Doctor Webb thought it advisa
BILE to buy her out So at the end OF
the fourth year he took over the stock
at market prices, and gave her cbeci
for seven hundred dollars, which rep
resented the years profits.

TELEGRAPH MANAGER AT IA.

Julius Die1, Whose Parents Are Ex-
pert Operators, Begins Young.
Julius Diel. ii years old, on Oct. 1
became manager of the Western Union
telegraph Office at Madison, N. ]. This
place requires an experienced opera
tor, and one who is well versed in all
the details of an Office, but julius is
well qualified for it.
Born within sound of the telegraph,
he says there never was a time when
he did not know what the sounds Of
the instrument meant. He worked
the telegraph key as soon as he was
able to spell. His mother and father
were both telegraph operators.
Last spring julius father disap-
peared. and julius had to assist in
earning a living for his mother and q
little baby brother. He became a mes
senger at the Postal Telegraph Com
pany's Morristown office. A few DAYS
ago he told w. II. Under, manager
of the Western Union Office here, that
he was going to apply for a place as
operator. Mr.. Under knew that the
place in Madison would become va
cant, and wrote to the Western Union
urging them to put julius in there. At
first the New York Office thought it
was joke, and laughed about it over
the wire. but when they found that
the joke was absolutely serious, they
were thunderstruck. The idea of put
| ting a boy Of IA In as manager of an
Office did not appeal to them. They
began telling Mr.. Under various
| things over the wire. julius was
there, and, hearing the conversation.
| concluded to take a hand in it himself
and sat down at the key. In fifteen
minutes he convinced the New York
Office of his ability--Letter to New
York Tribune.

His Mothers Pies.

I've toiled and tried and worried,
I've gone the cook-books through
Till my brain is tired and Hurried,
And my hands and patience, too.
I've had the best instruction
From the ablest cooks in town,
And my pies are crisp and dainty
And delicately brown.
But apple, mince or pumpkin,
Of any form or shade,
Are nothing to my husband
Like the pies his mother made.
So I'll give the struggle over,
And throw my pride away,
But as sure as I'm a mother
I'll be avenged some day.
Ny bonnie lads are growing,
And they'll not be afraid
To tell their future spouses
What pies their mother made.
