China's Empress.
From the Boston Herald.


That wonderful woman, the Dowager
Empress of China. has been compared to
Elizabeth of England and Catherine Of
Russia. Her force of character has en-
abled her to maintain her authority in all
the turmoil and intrigue and rebellion
which has beset China in recent years She
has absorbing vanity, in which she is like
Queen Elizabeth, and a German artist, who
has lately painted her portrait, has been
describing the experiences. The painter
made portrait as true to life as could be-
but this was entirely unsatisfactory to the
royal patron. She Is over seventy years of
age. but she wanted painting of a woman
in the full bloom of youth. The painter
had to depict her as woman of twenty
five. This vanity, which appears like weak
ness, has been seen in many of the most
powerful women and has much to do in
shaping their lives. Some Of the crueest
things these women have done are trace
able to it. Surrounded by courtiers and
sycophants, they are fed on fiattery until
they cannot live without 1t. They deceive
no one not even themselves, but they never
give up the battle against old age. The
Dowager Empress of China has many imi-
tators in all stations Of life. from palace
to poorhouse.

The Collar to Proclaim the Man.

From the Providence Journal.
An important pronouncement is made by
that authoritative journal OF ethics, the
Haberdasher. The painful tendency to
confuse the functions of dress coat and
house coat has often been noted. It arises
partly from ignorance. no doubt, but partly
also from malice. The house coat reseu-
bles the dress coat sufficiently to be taken
by the unpractised as an allowable substi-
tute for 1t on formal occasions land resem-
blance further tempts conscious sinners to
indulge in dissolute sartorial habits in the
belief that their vice will pass muster as
virtue to the indiscriminating eye It Is
clear, therefore, that movement to make
the house coat less like the dress coats
may do much to improve the morals of the
community. Such movement, according
to the Haberdasher, has begun. The plain
roll collar. like a smoking Jacket. will here
after be the sine qua non In the house coat.
The reason Is that 1.-THE entirely undress
character of that garment Is felt to need
marking" It Is reason enough Hereaf-
ter q man. like a dog. will be known by his
collar.

Madame MicheIet,
From the Westminster Gazette.

=
Here is a strange discovery, the result of
NJ. Gabriel Monod's work on Miche,et-a
story which even the curious annals of lit
erary forgeries can hardly match. The
great historian. late in life, married q
young second wife, a governess, an in
connue, whose acquaintance he made
through her letters. Their attachment was
lifelong and touching1y complete. One aft
ernoon, when she had been Obliged to be
away, Madame Michelet found a scrubbed
note on her table: When I cannot spare
do without her in the infinity of timer
The sentence might be a synopsis of their
romance. During their life together they
eollaborated in a charming II rather senti-
mental, series Of nature studies, a vein I'M
worked by Michelet till his wife suggested
It, 1t Is undoubted though her name did
not appear, that she supplied the inspira-
ton and a good deal of the literary form
of The Bird THE Insect" 1.-The Sea"
etc. Thus at the same time the great
writer formed her style, and she formed a
habit of merging her work In his, and ceas-
ing to distinguish. Now for the sequel.
Madame Michelet survived her husband
thirty years. During this time she ceased
not to pour forth volumes of what pur-
ported to be posthumous work of Michelet.
and was, at any rate, good enough to be
so accepted. The Investigations of NJ Ga
briel Monod, it appears, now place 1t be-
You'd doubt that, with the sole exception of
'Soldats de Ia Revolution Michelets au-
thorship Of every one of these works was
apocryphal The editress was really the
author. 1t seems probable, however, that
the deception was largely self-deceptive.
Madame Michelet filled the empty chair,
wrote alone at the desk where she had
worked so many years in closest associa-
ton, modelled herself consciously or I'M
consciously on her husband in tricks of
manner and appearance, and she seems to
have persuaded herself that in some mys-
tic way his spirit collaborated or was re-
incarnate in her. 1t is a pathetic psyche
logical freak.
