Chinese ADVICE to Girl.

Between A. D. 7S5 and $50 there
lived in China five remarkable sisters
named Sung, all Of whom possessed
considerable literary talent, and es-
pe.ially the two elder ones. They re-
fused to marry and devoted them
selves to literature, being finally re-
celved into the palace, where in due
course they all died natural deaths,
with the exception of the fourth Miss
Sung, against whom charges of accept
ing brides were rumped up, the result
being that she was forced to take
silk''-in other words, to strangle her
self.
The eldest sister wrote a book called
.Discourses For Girls" based upon
the famous ''Discourses" Of Confucius.
1t is in an easy style Of versifcation
and is generally suited to the compre-
hension of the young;
When walking, do not look back.
When talking, do not open wide your lips.
When sitting, do not rock your knees.
When standing, do not shake your skirt.
When pleased, do not laugh aloud.
When angry. do not shout
Do not peep over the outside wan.
DO not slip into the outer court
When you go out, veil your face.
When you peep, conceal your body.
With a man not of the family hold no
conversation whatever.

The First English Regatta.

T. Doggett, the comedian, has been
regarded as the founder Of aquatic
sports in England, since he first insti-
tuted, In 1T16, annual prizes for row
ing, and these rowing matches have

But In the winter of 1774 Lord Lyttel-

''The great American public is often
bunkoed In buying fnnan haddies," re-
marked a man in the fish business.
when you buy fnnan haddies nova
days you may get a f1nnan haddie,
which is a smoked paddock, or you
may not. You may get a smoked cod
fish instead, but you WIN pay the real
f1nnan haddie price for it just the
same.
"The paddock ia a fish of the cod
family and resembles the cod very
much. But the paddock has a black
lateral line, while that of the cod is
white, and If you will only look for
the color Of these lines, which is not
changed in the smoking, you can tell
readily enough whether you are get
ting what you want or something Just
as good For myself, when 1 buy
flnnan haddie want finnan haddie. It
may be no better than f1nnan cod, but
like to think am getting what
want"-Providence Journal

INcITED MUTINY.
An English Admiral Once Did This

An English Admiral Once Did This
by Royal Command.
Not only did an English admiral once
receive instructions to incite his men
to mutiny, but he actually carried his
instructions out.
On the eve of the death of James L.,
and as a result of Prince Charles mar
riage to Henrietta Maria, Buckingham
agreed to lend the Vanguard and sew
en- merchantmen to the French. Be
fore his promise was fulfilled the HUI
guenot rebellion at Rochelle broke out,
and by the time Sir John Pennington,
who had been put in command, was
ready to sail the authorities in England
became disagreeably aware that their
ships would be used against the
French Protestants.
Buckingham was conscious of the
storm of indignation this would arouse
In England. In his perplexity the only
solution that occurred to him was to
instruct Pennington to get his men to
mutiny A secret message to this eff
feet was sent him through the Earl of
Pembroke, and Sir John, who had no
wish to hand the ships over to the
French, obeyed and allowed his crew
to carry him and his officers back to
England

MUSIC AND HUMOR.
An English Critic Says That the Two
Cannot BE Linked.

Cannot BE Linked.
There Is little room in music for hu-
NOR and no room at all for wit. When
hear some one speak of the wit Of a
Chopin scherzo l think, MY friend,
you had better see doctor at once;
you are slightly deranged mentally"
In association with words there can be
humor In music, as, for example, the
prolonged low notes Handel gives to
Polyphemus when he asks for hun
bred reeds "for my capacious mouth"
But the humor of Haydn and Beetho-
ven in their instrumental works consists
entirely Of practical jokes-a sudden
low o on the bassoon, horn passage
which no horn player can ever hope
to play, a bass who enters a bar too
soon or too late. The late Harold Fred
eric summed up the question beauti-
fully. He said to me one day when I
had not laughed at one of his stories;
Musicians have no sense of humoE.
When l was a young man touching
negatives in a photographers studio l
was very musical. had notes in my
voice that couldn't be- found in any
plano in our parts. had no sense Of
humor. Afterward developed sense
of humor and lost my voice. "-London

Some Advice to Follow If They Mus

Some Advice to Follow If They Must
Use the Weed.
Very few people are aware how much
harm is done to young men by the al
most universal habit of cigarette smok-
ing. The man who smokes cigarettes
has one always in his mouth and is con-
tinually inhaling nicotine until the sys-
tenn Is saturated with the poison.
The result of this practice is a ca
tarrhal condition Of the nose, throat
and bronchi, a disordered and very IT.
ritable state of the nerves, a weak and
rapid action of the heart and indiges-
ton.
Thin, anaemic, weak, with clammy
hands stained with nicotine poison, un-
strung nerves and degenerated mus
cles, the youth Of the land go on igno-
rantly suffering the consequences Of a
pernicious habit until attacks Of heart
trouble, nervous prostration, melan-
cholia, ETC., bring their condition to the
attention Of the physician.
If man must smoke-and we admit
the charm Of the habit to those who
have become accustomed to its sooth-
ing infiuences-let him choose q mild
cigar and have certain set times for in
dulging. If he puts certain restraint
upon himself from the start In the mat
ter Of smoking, he will not overdo it,
and there are few men who can smoke
more than three cigars a day without
injury.-Medical Brief

The profit of a gold mine depends, not
on the amount of rock crushed under the
stamps but upon the amount of gold
which can be extracted from the rock.
In similar way the value of the food
which is eaten does not depend on the
quantity which is taken into the stomach
but upon the amount of nourishment ex-
tracted from it by the organs of nutrition
and digestion. When these organs are
diseased they fail to extract the nourish-
ment in sufficient quantities to supply the
needs of the several organs of the body,
and these organs cannot work without
nourishment. The results heart 'trouble, !"

COLD WAVE COMING.
Blizzard Temperature Expected in
Washington Tomorrow.

cold wave, with blizzard temperature,
will reach Washington tomorrow, was the
prediction made today by Prof. Garriott or
the weather bureau Forty-two degrees be-
low zero was the temperature report from
Helena, Mont, this morning, while the
official thermometers in the two Dakotas
registered more than 80 degrees below the
zero mark. This is the cold wave that is
said to be speeding eastward and is ex-
pected to arrive in this vicinity tomorrow
night with zero temperatures.
1T is very cold throughout the west and
northwest said Prof. Garriott, land Fri
day morning we will have extremely low
temperatures here. The coming cold wave
will overspread the whole eastern section
of the country and extend down to the
gulf coast. The wave will be accompanied
by cloudy and threatening weather.
These conditions will mean additional
suffering by the poor, and appeals for help
from the almost depleted funds of the
charity organizations of the District. The
cold of yesterday morning, when the Their
mOmeter registered degrees below zero,
resulted in a great deal of suffering in the
tenements and novels of the poor, where
the fuel supplies were scant or exhausted,
and many urgent calls for relief were made
upon the Associated Charities.
The coming cold wave, it is predicted.
will cause a general freeze up in the Poto-
mac river and make the skating places
solid and safe, it is said.
