THE CHINESE ROYCO7T.

How serious the Chinese boycott of
 United States goods is is indicated by the fact that among thz first leading Chinese to speak publicly against our government were a secretary to.a Chir nese marquis and the son of a Chinese judge. both Icing ofic rs of the Y. NJ. IC. A. in Shanghai. These speeches were followed by a mass meeting Of Chinese Christians in Shanghai to voice a pro- test becauss Americans demand entry into China and refuse to admit us to America, This meeting had immedi- ate influence. From a Christian college Ia circular was issued calling out the students, fifty in number, in body, or, in oth5r words, instituting a strike. In another Christian institution, high school, all the senior class struck. In another college. not apparently Chris tian, eight seniors protested against the employment of American teachers and lSft. All over China students are being urged to leave institutions where Amer ican teachers are employed, or Ameri- can textbooks or supplies are used. This explains why 200 Am rican mem .bers of the Chinese Educational Associ- ation have made an appeal to President Roosevelt.
 The boycott is not exactly a Christian measure, but probably the Christian Chin5se think that our treatment of their countrymen isn't exactly Chris tian.

Fnshion,s phnses.

When first I whispered words of love,
 When first you turned aside to hear, The winged griffin flew above,
 The mammoth gayly gambolPd near: l wore the latest thing in skins,
 Your doCk-leaf dress had just been
 mended
 And fastened up with fishes fins
 The whole effect was really splendid. Again-we wandered by the Nile,
 In Egypt's far forgotten land; Ana watched the festive crocodile
 Devour papyrus from your hand. Far off across the plain we saw
 The trader urge his flying camel; Bflght Shone the scarab belt you wore Clasped with sphinx of rare enamel Again-.on Trojan plains I knelt;
 Alas! in vain l strove to speak And tell you all the love I felt
 In more or less. Homeric Greek; Perhaps my helmet strap was tight And checked the thoughts 1 fain

{ MOD ERA TELY WOND FIR rrrr.

What can be done is indicated by an occurrence at Ferndale, Chester county. Pennsylvania. A headless snapping tur- tie which has been caught there has raised q question among the people of that section as to how long a turtle can live without a head in it's native element, and the question is being de- bated at every meeting of the fisher- men. According to a resident and q. Fisherman of the locality, the turtle had been seen in the dam for at least three years after it had lost it's head. The neck showed that the wound had long been healed, and the snapper had been living on what it could secure through the opening to it's throat.
 Moderately wonderful, but it isn't much compared with the way men and women live without head.

BIG LOCOMOTIVE HAS A HEART.
Wouldn't Haul Away Train Until
 Promised Something Better.

Wouldn't Haul Away a Train Until Promised Something Better. '
 The boys at the roundhouse don't know yet what was the matter with
 No. 804. Some are inclined to scoff at
 Billy Wetmore's explanation that the
 DE engines heart was almost broken,
 but the undercurrent of sentiment is that there is something in 1t and that No. 804 at least was sulk.
 Little No. 1,761 had been suffering from a chronic hot box on the rear
 right wheel of the pony truck. Several times No. 1,761 had barely but gamely pulled through with the Aurora way train. She got in shrieking and smok- ing from the injured bearing. New brasses hadn't cured the ailment, and when No. 1,761's stall in the roundhouse was empty all the other engines knew she had been sent to the shop.
 It was a severe shock that No. SO4 re- ceived when she heard the roundhouse boss tell the head hostler to fire her up Tuesday morning to take the Aurora way train. It was a terrible indignity, for No. BOA is a big engine of the 800 class, six-wheeled connections, de- signed for the fast through passenger runs and capable of slipping off seventy miles an hour with six Pullmans, a baggage and mar-car. She kept quiet when the cordwood was piled on to the cold firebox, but as she thought it over half an hour later sputtered viciously from the loose packing on the air pump, and when Tom Selfridge gave her a hint of better manners with monkey wrench she grumbled like a. surly sailor.
 Hanged if go; hanged if I go," she snorted as Selfridge tested the steam on the brake pump, but she responded through force of habit when the links ere heaved up and the throttle was opened a notch, and she backed out to the turntable and down to the waiting way train.
 Its too-o-o-o bad," ending with a violent puff, complained No. SO4, and the others in the roundhouse, hearing her complaint, snickered, for No. 804, with her new paint, had the reputation of being a proud, stuck-up thing, and all were glad at her taking down.
 But No. S04, by a telepathic process known to locomotive engines, was con- scious of what was going on, and shut down with grip on the throttle valve so that Selfridge could scarcely move it. Then she sulked hard, and when called upon to start to the main track with her insignificant load of three empty passenger coaches and a combi- nation baggage, baked and wouldn't turn a wheel. She held her steam gauge at eighty, refusing to let it budge a point, and with a splteful spit ting from the cylinder cock on the en- gineer's side intimated as plainly as any angry cat or an equally angry type 800 locomotive could indicate that she was on strike.
 Billy Wetmore shook the grates, raked off the suspicion of forming arch in the f1rebox and scattered cou- pie of scoops of coal artistically and

ON A FLYING MoToRBoAT.
Sensations of an Exceedingly Rapid
 Ride are Described,

Sensations of an Exceedingly Rapid Ride are Described.
 The sensations experienced on riding
 in one of the fastest motorboats vet produced are thus described BY a yachtsman who made the trial trip on
 the Napier II on the Thames a few
 weeks ago, in which a speed equivalent to Sl.26 miles an hour was attained, al-
 though the boat is but forty feet long: As the boat gained in speed, fatten- ing her passengers against her back supports, as the proIellers gripped and falrly hurled her forward, the mild roar Of the engines ascended to a shriek; the sounds of her eight exhausts smote the ear like the continuous reports of a ma- chine gun, mingled with the scream of the riven water, while the shore, dimly seen through a veil of powdered spray, flew by like train.s
 There was no. swing or plunge, no lnrch or roll. The grand little craft ploughed on her way on an absolutely even keel, and we had no sense of be- ing driven, but a feeling, as if boat and crew were flying. There was absolute ly no sense of f1otation, nowater-borne feeling whatsoever. If one shut ones eyes it was not difficult to imagine ones self on some tearing vehicle run ming swiftly on small rollers over a smooth steep road. Sustained for the first time, it is like no other experience to be had in this world, but after the first half minute or less there settles upon one quite delightful sense of se- curity and safety, so evenly and so truly does she run"
 The successful trial ofthe Napier II took place over a measured nautical mile under adverse conditions, there being a strong wind and choppy sea. Her time for a nautical mile against the tide was 2:2S, and with the tide, 2:126. This corresponds in the one case to a speed of PAS knots, or 299 land miles, an hour, and in the other to T.14 knots, which is equivalent to 3l.26 miles an hour. The previous best record in European waters with this style of boat was a trife under 2S knots. and in American waters 29.3 knots. This speed was made by the Challenger at Lake Worth in February. Since the Napier II made her record a French boat, the Palaisoto II, has equalled it on the Seine.
 The Napier II is in her second sea- son, having been a failure through beakdowns at first. She is but forty feet long. She \1s twin screws, driven by two forty-five horsepower motors. The bow has flare to turn off the crest of the bow wave, splash guards, or "whiskers," being fitted as an ex- tension of this flare. ..
 The Napier II is an excellent example Of the marvellous results that have been attained in providing high speed motor boats. She must be seen at full speed to be appreciated. Ordinary

coaxingly over the fire blazing up fieFcely under the forced draught. Re luctantly No. SO4 responded. slowly picked up the train and started for the main track again.
 A puffy little switch engine, dirty, greasy and about as light in the stack as SO4's injector valve, ran down, and, laughing iii its pop valve, coupled on and started the train out of the yard with a hOarse, Come, come, come!" that even No. S04 couldn't resist. But no sooner was the switch engine out of sight than No. SO4 baked again and all through the twenty-five miles to West ern avenue took fits and starts, now absolutely refusing to pull ton and then making a shying, skittish run for another station.
 Whats the matter?" asked the as sistant master mechanic at the round- house, at Western avenue, as the train pulled in almost an hour late.
 It wouldn't do to repeat all Selfridge said, but the gist of it was that he didn't know; that No. S04's flues were tight as drums, and there was nothing wrong that he could see.
 T wish you could get her started; need her for No. 1 tonight" replied the assistant master mechanic, No. 1 being the Denver Limited, the crack train of the road. 'If you can get a move on her I'll send you in a dinky until No. 1,761 is out in 2 day or two."
 Maybe an engine hasn't ears to hear, but Billy Wetmore won't believe it. When the throttle opened, No. SO4 sprang like sprinter at the pistol shot, and made the Union station three min- utes under schedule time in spite of yard rules, puffing and missing as lively as a cricket as sodn as the stop was made. There was np more trouble with No. 804, and she took No. out last evening in the old-time manner
 Just sore at this dinky run" ex- plained Wetmore, and while Engineer Selfridge and the rest of the train crew don't admit their belief in the theory, there is no other explanation of No. SO4's queer conduct.-Chicago Chronicle.

GERMANS TO STUDY CHINESE
 I.ANGITA

LA&NGCACE.
 The German consul general at Shang- hai' Dr. KRappe. has addressed cir cuLar letters to the German business hrms in his district, admonishing them 10 cultivate a knowledge of the cha Ilese language in ordsr to be able to meet Japanese competition which. he says after thee lose of the present war Will exted into western and northern emma. The present system of selling goods through the agency of compra- uoFes Will change, and ere long the trade will have to be carried on by the foreign houses direct. This necessitate thelr employees coming into personal intercourse with the Chinese purchas- CTS, and for that reason a command or the language of the latter requisite.
 In short, the western nations must do as the apanese do if they do not want the latter to monoplize the trade. The consul general proposes tuition courses for instructing German clerks and employees in the Chinese language, ana offers the quarters of his consulate ana the assistance of his interpreters. The admonition of the consul general apples with even greater force to American interests, because. China Will become one of this country's most valuable markets and an outlet for it's surplus products.

THE PROGRESS OF WOMAN.

MT. w. L. Bodine, of Chicago, who is superintendent of Compulsory Educa-
 tion in that city, was one of the speak
 CTS before the International Associa- tion of Factory Inspectors, which is holding convention in Detroit. His remarks created a mild sensation among the delegates. He declared that
 woman is destined to be the rul- ing sex in industrialism, and that man,
 like the Indian, is dying out and being driven out. MT. Bodine had on hand Federal statistics covering the last twenty years, which, he claimed, prov ed that the industrial competition of women, children and machine labor is driving the men out of large cities to fields of heavy manual labor in mining and agriculture.
 No wonder some men are scared by what is going on, but perhaps they do not well to be so scared. It is pointed out that the change that is being brought about is due largely to the higher education of women in the last few years and their better equipment for filling certain positions than men. In all great industrial concerns many women are employed in the executive offices as clerks, stenograpilers and typewriters, etc., but those concerns could not exist without the assistance of many more able bodied men where the real work is done than there are women in the offices.
 Anyhow, man need not be discourag- ed. Woman will always be the same gentle, tender, kind and courteous be- ing that she is now, and if there is no work for man she will take care of bip1

Tn the cooking schools of Berlin, Mu- nich, Frankfort and other German cities the use of the ''fireless stove," or
 cooking box," is strongly recommend i'd. The apparatus consists simply of a wooden box, thickly lined with hay or felt, and fitted with a tight cover. Nests are made in the lining, into which pots containing food that has first been boiled for few minutes over 5a fire are placed, tightly covered, and the box is closed. The lining retains the heat for hours, and the food is slowly cooked, with better results, in many cases, than can be attained by rapid cooking on stove. Of course, the apparatus does not answer for cooking steaks, chops, or cakes, which require a quick, hot fire, but it is excel lent for soups and vegetables.
