but to understand others, that herein
lies a great part of their mission upon
EARTH
Men rarely understand the nature
of women. Their own sentiments are
much less complex and less highly
elaborated, and they seldom have time
or inclination to study the delicate,
intricate machinery of a woman's
soul. A man is generally satisfied,
when he returns home tired after the
days work, to find a comfortable fire.
side awaiting him. He fancies the
wife ought to content her also. and
he certainly will not trouble his head
about any deeper psychological prob
lem involved.
Every woman should remain more
or less of sphinx even to her own
husband so that he may always find
in her some new riddle to solve; the
mystery that envelops here is one OF
her greatest charms in his eyes and
the feeling with which it inspires him
| is one of well nigh religious awe.
Few women have the philosophy to
overcome or even the worldly wisdom
to hide their jealousy if they fancy
they have Just cause OF complaint
against their husbands. 1t is pity
they cannot understand, how much
they would actually lessen their own
sufforngs by the effort to hide them.
If they could surely many wife
wond spare her husband the hyster-
ical outbursts, the tears. the scoid.
ngs, which can only tend to ALLEVIATE
still further his affections without af-
| fording herself the slightest relief.
Nature has invested woman with
a twofold nimbus. as virgin and as
mother, and often bestow's the mar
tyr's crown in addition to both these.
Surely this conservation should suf-
flee for our pilgrimage through this
sad world.

BOYCOTT BY
THE CHINESE
IMPERIAL TRADE COMMISSIONER
EXPLAINS MOVEMENT AGAINST
AMERICAN GOODS.

San Francisco, Aug. 17.-Among the
passengers on the Mongolia, which
has arrived here from the orient, is
Wong Kai Kah, Chinese imperial trade
commissioner, accompanied by his Sec
rotary. He is going to Washington.
1t is stated that the object of his
trip is to discuss the boycott and the
proposed new exclusion treaty.
He wishes to impress on the Amer.
lean people that the Chinese govern
ment has nothing to do with the boy
colt of American goods, and says that
this is private enterprise on the
part of the merchants and the gentry
of the Flowery Kingdom, and is the
result of the treatment of the favor
ed classes who come to this country
He said today:

ent commercial centers which have

erence to it, | want it 10 be under

China who has anything to do with

say that it is the earnest desire OF
my government to have the most
friendly relations with the United

Mr.. Wong Kai Kah was extremely
curious as to the peace negotiations
and expressed hope that the wal
would soon be brought to close. He
seemed to be greatly relieved over
the news of the return to China OF
Manchura and of the open door pol

Woman's True Mission in Lie.
(Bv Carmen sylvia Queen OF Rouman

Ia J.
Alike in the natural and the spirit
ual world, the true vocation OF Wohl-
an is simply motherhood. This | am
convinced is her high calling, Win
which she may we'll rest content.
But it has come to pass of late that
women strive to manifest tnelr men
tai powers in other kinds of work. The
material aspect of life has grown
more complicated in our day, ana IL
is great pity that We cannot return
to the simplicity of former times.
After all. country life would Away
be the true ideal; to pass ones days
peacefully on ones own land. whose
produce would suffice for simple,
wholesome food, to allow the style OF
ones own dress to be regulated by
ones artistic taste and regard Tor
health and comfort than by the die
tates of fashion and undisturbed by
the hustle and noise Of the crowd.
What contrast to this idylllc pic
ture does the world at this moment
present, with people living herded to-
gether in great cities, and cooped up
in monstrous overcrOWded houses
within narrow streets, where they can
hardly drink in breath of fresh air
or see a leaf growing, but where each
one, instead of giving his thoughts TO
higher things, is generally busted with
his neighbours affairs.
How fair this world might yet be.
come under the benificent sway of
women of high breeding and noble cul.
ture did they but earnestly give ul
their whole souls to the task OF max
ing their influence felt TO the most
remote circles.
But the women of the present day
seem determined to descend from
their lofty pedestal. Is it possible that
they will not perceive, ere it be toe
late, their fatal and irretrievable er
ror?
Women should never forget thai
they stand on superior level, anc
when they place themselves on ar
equality with man they do but de
scend from those heights. 1t is the
natural instinct of man to venerate
woman, first in the person of the moth
er who bore him next in that of his
wife, then again, of the daughter, OIL
it may be of the sister or sisterl!
friend who watches over his children
1t is not too much to say, that il
all times and places, and under al
circumstances whatsoever, truly
womanly woman will hardly fail t
obtain proper Difference from men.
And if the latter sometimes assume
too lOrdly an air toward the weaker
sex, that is perhaps altogether unin
territorial. For men are in some re
spects just like children, who are
quite unconsciously the greatest tyr
ants to those they love best In thu
same way, in the hour of trouble. il
sickness and fatigue, our husbands ant
our sons seem to US just such deal

best to help and comfort, however in
