CHINESE IDEAS OF WOMEN.

A woman without children has not
yet the most precious of her Jewels.
Like sheep that be leaderless are
many women come together for much
talk.
Speak not i'll OF any woman; If a
woman be not righteous what she is
speaks for itself
A woman desirous of being seen
by men is not trustworthy; fear the
glance from her eye.
Death is feared only by the woman
that has not lived life, she trembles
when the thunder rolls.
When first a woman loves she
fears; she fears not that to which she
has become accustomed.
A mother not spoken well Of by her
children is an enemy of the state: she
should not live within the kingdoms
walls.
Give heed to the voice Of an old
woman; sorrow has given her wisdom.
Give heed to her to whom children
have come; she walks in the sacred
ways and lacks not love.
A beautiful woman knows not her
charms, therefore is she beautiful.
more SO than colors of the sea.
woman who gives her all to the
state or for the shielding Of the home
is next to the gods; she shall not hun
ger when the last sleep cometh to her.

WHAT SHE CAN DO.


For all this talk OF mans liberty
and woman's slavery she can do some
things he can't do.
She can wear her hat on one ear
without being suspected Of a convivi'
al disposition.
She can say a thing one day and
contradict it the next, and no one will
call her a prevaricator.
She can shed tears on the slightest
provocation, which will merely prove
to people that she is tender-hearted
and sympathetic.
She can be as inconsistent as an
April sky, and her instability viii be
thought charming.
She can look openly into every mir
ror she passes without being accused
of more than natural feminine inter-
est in her appearance.
She can spend a good deal of time
considering her clothes and prinking
up her person, and who shall say that
it is not a proper attribute of her sex
to be beautiful?
She can wheedle a man into most
anything by artful methods, and never
lose her reputation for artless SINGER
ity.
She can succumb to all the little
weaknesses of womankind, such as CO.
quettishness, jealousy, vanity, trick
cry, inconsistency and infantility-and
all these things will be smiled at and
condoned as enhancing her feminin-
ity.
Whereas if a man did any Of these
things he would be spelled in capital
letters as Frivolous. Unstable, Weak,
Vain, Untruthful. Foppish. Hypocriti-
cal, Flirtatious, Mean, Fake and Silly.
Oh, Femininity, what a curious
thing thou art, that thou shouldst be
accounted as covering such a multi
tude of sins!- Philadelphia Bulletin.

MEN ARE FOOLS.


Men naturally are fools.
All short men like to be thought
tall.
Take some man that you know
perhaps he's homely but clever.
For that reason we should deal
gently with them-we of the weaker
sex.
If he has hard, calculating eyes,
convince him they are soft and ex-
pressive.
Never fiatter a man about the quail
ties he possesses, but about those he
would like to possess.
Probably he doesn't care at all
about being considered clever, but
good looks he admires.
If any Of you girls or women doubt
the truth Of my statement, open your
eyes and look about you.
1t won't take you long to convince
even the ugliest that he is handsome.
Work up to his good looks gradually.
If he is short, take some man who
is tall and in casual way drop re-
mark about them being the same
height.
It's so easy for woman to convince
man that he is handsome, learned.
tall or short, that 1t seems almost too
bad to try it-and then again too bad

ing more. He will draw his own con-
clusions as to his general appearance.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

Sound judgment seldom makes the
most noise.
No man can be thoroughly honest
without constant practice.
Charity begins at home, but it usu-
ally ends with poor relations.
The zeal of friendship does more
real harm than the arrows of enmity
It's the hardest thing in the world
to be frank and popular at the same
time.
Some men impress us with the idea
that it's too much trouble to make
enemies
AS a rule the man who takes pains
with his eating doesn't have to take
pains afterward.
The people who won't listen to rea-
son are those who say they have no
reason to listen.
If you are going to burn your
bridges, burn them behind you rather

than they are actually having.
You may have stomach that win
stand whisky, but the chances are
ninety-nine to one that you haven't.
In trying to decide what is easiest
in this world, we have come to the
conclusion that it is telling some
other fellow not to worry.
People who have consideration are
like those who get big salaries; you
hear about lots of them but know
mighty few.
