Armed Forces in Control Of
the City.
PLANS OF BRITISH
PREPARING FOR A JOINT ARMY
AND NAVY DEMONSTRATION. .
Trouble Was Not Caused by Anti
American Feeling, but by Action
of the Mixed Court.

The State Department has received a
eablegram from Shanghai announcing
| the arrival there last evening OF the men
were transported to the city from Woo
sung a few miles below where the Bal
timore, owing to her draft, was obliged
to Iie or from the light-draft gunboat
yillalobos. whose arrival at Shanghai
was announced to the Navy Department
in cabiegram this morning.
The State Department advices this
morning were to the effect that the Brit
ish were preparing for a large demon
stration by both army and navy. Ger
man, Japanese and Austrian cruisers
were on their way TO Shanghai. Quiet
prevailed yesterday, but only because OF
the armed force controlling the city. The
mixed court was still closed. The Chi
nese authorities were trying to effect
COMPROMISE but demanded removal OF
the British assessor, which demand was
refused. There was no report or troupie
at the outposts, but the missionaries
were becoming alarmed and many were
arriving in Shanghai.
1t is clear to the officials here that this
trouble in Shanghai is not due to anti
American feeling. and especially to the
boycott so that other nations at least
have now personal interest In doing
what they can to restore order IN the
treaty ports. The dispatches show that
in Shanghai, at least, the ebu1lition OF
anti-foreign feeling was caused by the
conflict between the mixed court and the
municipal authorities and that the Brit
ish were the particular objects of Chinese
aversion.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-12-20
Caused by British Assessor.

AS understood here, the trouble arose
from the action of the British assessor
in levying taxupon a Chinese resident
of the foreign settlement. The court Is
curious body A Chinese magistrate holds
sittings every week day. On two days OF
each week an American official from the
consulate general sits with him In the ca
pacity of assessor. On two other Gays
similar German official sits, and on the
remaining two week days British repre-
sentative This court has jurisdiction over
all licenses and taxes payable by the chi
reese in the foreign settlement of Shanghai
TIE French have a similar court or their
own. The Chinese municipal authorities
have always been jealous of this court, and
there have been many clashes IN the past
owing to the efforts of the Chinese toScoi-
lect these taxes themselves. The court
also possesses the power to punish euiprlts
and frequently causes the cato mine ta'is
to be laid on, while the Chinese beat the
man with bamboos.
For long time past the Chinese nave
been trying to reduce the authority OF the
mixed court and it is supposed here tha-
the present trouble has arisen from the
assertion of jurisdiction by the British over
some Chinese merchant.

THE KITCHEN SINK.

There are more mysterious all
ments caused by a neglected SINK
than many people would suppose.
The woodwork may be secured until
white as snow, the enamel or porce-
lain may be, spotless, but what about
the pipe, which is hidden from view!
How many times have tea leaves
been washed down It; greasy water,
half-cold, poured down; even water
which has been used for cleaning out
q room is thoughtlessiy disposed OF IN
the same way-water containing bits
of fluff, matches, and all kinds OF
fotsam and jetsam, unless the room
has been previously and carefully
swept. A tiny piece Of string or q
match lodged in crevice Of the pipe
will catch other particles, until quite
large accumulation will have col
lected. Hair is the most harmful OF
all. A tiny wisp will catch on any
roughness of the pipe, and will form
a trap for anything falling upon It
When washing dishes. each plate
should be cleared Of every particle OF
food before being put 1nto the WAFER.
and when the dishwashing is com
pleted pour the water through
strainer, which you should keep In the
sink. This will prevent any risk
Fave ready pan OF pail Of boiling
water, melt a large piece Of common
washing soda in it, and pour 1t, as hot
as possible, down the pipe. Never

cause the pipe to become sour. About
twice a week pour some lime water
down the pipe. Make the wash in this
way: Put a large tablespoonful OF
coarse salt into an earthen pan, and
add twice the quantity Of quicklime;
pour on these ingredients four gallons
of hot water, stir and let it settle, and
then pour the clear liquid down the
pipe.

A BROWN LUNCHEON.

Just to vary the monotony of life
there is the brown" luncheon. The
creamed lobster is served in cups
covered with brown tissue paper, the
Drowned chops, Drowned fried pota-
toes and Drowned rice croquettes on
plates decorated with design of
brown oak leaves and acorns. The
ice cream is chocolate frozen IN
shape of large English walnuts. and
the little squares of white cake bear
the design of a leaf in tiny choco-
late candies. The courses are sery-
ed from large wooden trays orna-
mented in topographic work. decorat-
ed in brown leaves, and the water is
poured from little brown jug.
All the decorations are brown,
shading from seal to orange. The
candies are yellow with autumn leaf
shades. The name cards are placed
inside little boxes decorated with py-
geographic work and suitable for jewel
boxes. The hostess wears gown OF
panne velvet in the shade of brown
known as burnt onion" and the
mao apron and headdress are deco
rated with brown bows.

WAGE EARNING WOMEN AS
WIVES

Does the girl who remains at
home make q better wife than the
girl who goes out daily to earn her
living?" I asked a woman suffragist
recently.
"Any wage earning woman who
wills 1t may by her attitude of mind
make her experiences yield good to
her instead of evil" she answered.
"She may be a refining, identifying
presence amid the rough realities of
a purely practical sphere, and there
is no doubt that she may benefit from
the battle with the world and make
her the very best wife in the world"
Doesn't her experience tend to
harden her nature?" l ventured.
Not If she wills it otherwise. Her
experiences with the various people
will make her sympathetic and fit her
for any emergencies which may come
up" was the answer. THE voice of
protest has been raised so constantly
against the wage earning woman that
we have somewhat come TO regard
her position as self-imposed. Why
not take hopeful view of the situa-
ton
when q condition cannot be help
ed 1t should be resolutely met with a
spirit that will know no evil effects.
There are over 100000 women in
the United States today who are self
supporting and the number is increas-
ing at rapid rate. To say that the
self supporting woman is not menac-
ed by dangers and harmful influences
would be absurd. These dangers do
exist. And yet TO place undue stress
upon them and say that a woman
must eventually yield to them is alb
surd. 1t all rests with the woman
herself. 1t is duty that confronts
her. The woman OF today may deter
mine what her experiences shall be
II she takes the stand that nothing
can rob her Of her refinement ard OF

aAoiUM IN THE SUN.
Prof Snyder rinds It in AGsors
BoreaIis and In Star Spectra.

Prof Snyder rinds 1t in AGsors
BoreaIis and In Star Spectra.
Professor Monroe B. Snyder. of the
Philadelphia Observatory, read a pre-.
liminary paper before the members of
the American Philosophical Society On
his recent announcement of the dis.
covery of radium in the philosophers
of the sun, which discovery is more
important than appears on the sur
face, because, if Professor Snyder is
borne out by subsequent inyestiga'
lions, it means the entire destruction
Of many laws of science which have
been regarded as fixed. Kischoff's law
of radiation and absorption, for in.
stance, is ruthiessly set aside by the
new discoveries, as well as the nebu.
lar theory of the formation of Celestial
bodies and many other accepted beliefs
of physicists.
In this the professor finds the cause
of heat and luminosity of the celestial
bodies. The variable stars, the pro
fessor thinks, are not caused by one
body revolving about another. but he
attributes their regular fluctuations OF
light to the fact that they are bodies
which have periodical outbursts of ra
dio-activity. This ne calls critical ra-
dio-activity, and makes the statement
that the sun is variable star, with
period of eleven years, and that sun
spots are one of the demonstrations
or results of these outbursts of radium
emanations.
The presence Of certain rings OF
light which have been observed in the
nebula of Orion and other nebul@ By
prominent observers, have never been
satisfactorily explained. These rings
are clearly to be seen in the photo
graphs of that particular portion OF
the heavens. but their cause has been
matter of conjecture.
Professor Snyder now says that ne
has sufficient evidence to warrant him
in making the assertion that they are
the visual evidences of the passing
from medium to another of the radium
emanations, or what the professor
calls critical radio-activity. This ra,
dio-activity plays a most important
part in the energy of the universe. In
it the transformations of energy and
matter are bound up together. Be-
hind the positive action is negative
process by which the discharge of the
element, with it's light and any mate.
rial which may be carried with them.
are again coalesced into stars and
probably future worlds.
Professor Snyder quotes the works
of Soddy and others, who intimated
the possibility of the existence of some
vast and unsupported power or agency
at work around us.

The Three sons.

a poor man called his three sons
round,
And then to them he said,
Il can't support you all, I've found,
So you must earn your bread.
''Out in the world l bid you sc
Your fortunes for to SEEK
I'm sorry, but it must be SO;
You'll leave within week.
'In five years all return to me,
And tell me what you've done.
I hope shall have cause to be
Proud of each mothers SON."
Now John was strong, and James was
smart,
And Tom was fair to see,
Each started out with beating heart.
A-wondering what to be.
The five years passed, and strong John
came
Back home to see his pa;
He said, I've not disgraced our
name
! run trolley carl"
Smart James the next one to return;
A drummer on the road
Was ne; he told what he could earn;
His samples, too he showed.
And then Tom drove up to the door,
{Remember, he was ''fair")-
He said, "My wife is eighty-four-
But she's millionaire"

THEY MAKE SNOW IMAGES
Much Skill Shown by Residents OF
Andreasberu. Germany.

In the little town of Andreasberg. in
the Harz Mountains, of Germany, max,
ing snow images has been reduced to
a science, under the stimulus Of an an
nual snow festival, in which the resi-
dents of the town compete for prizes
Those New York boys who, rolling
three balls of snow of different sizes
into shape, pile one atop Of another
and gouging holes in the uppermost.
have styled them eyes and mouth and
the whole "a snow man." should pay
a visit to Andreasberg. The snow
men there are to the snow men OF
American youth as the works OF the
master sculptor are to the efforts OF
the neophyte. There snow man is
a man indeed. Nor is the skill OF the
townspeople confined to the snow man.
Feminine figures, groups, animals, me-
chanical devices and many others as
difficult Of execution are worked out
in snow
The festival, organized in 1895, has
come to be an affair Of considerable
interest in that part of Germany, and
during the time it is in progress the
little village is thronged with guests.
One year four thousand persons en-.
joyed the sport.
The task of the judges is by no
means an easy enc. In back yards,
front yards and in the streets before
the houses the models have been set
up. That worker in the snow is wisest
VINO waits until the last moment and
then works swiftly and skilfuily, Tor
the sun is no more merciful to snow
in that country than in this. Many
good sculptor's work has been reduced
to shapeless mass before the judges
got around just because the sun would
not hide its face.
A favorite custom among the snow
sculptors is to reproduce scene from
some well known fairy tale. Thus at
one of the festivals Of the Pied Piper
of Hamelin was pictured a group OF
snow children dancing merrily to the
imaginary music from his snow pipe.
Little Red Riding Hood. in a hood as
white as snow, confronted a huge
white wolf. The Babes in the Wood
faced a wicked old witch. who later
got her just deserts beneath the rays
of the sun. Love and the Lion was
another snow piece, in which love
looked rather cold, bat either the
weather or the sight of her literally
caused the lions mouth to water"
An electric car was feature Of one
festival. Il vas a fine piece Of work
originally, but a day or two in the
sun made it look as if it had figured
in a wreck. =
A steam engine in which many OF
the intricate parts of the real machine
were reproduced in snow was the fea-
ture of another festival.-New York

BEWARE OF TIN REcEpTIcALs

Some friend to humanity should
have a large sign printed: do not
put mayonnaise in tin receptacles'
and hang it in every kitchen where
salads are prepared. 1t is only re
Gently that several ladies. in Rich.
mond, Va, were made seriously III by
eating salad at a reception. Investi-
CATION showed that the mayonnaise in
which was considerable lemon juice
had been allowed to stand all day in
tin pail. According to the physicians
enough poison was generated to kill
forty men, and had the ladies eaten
the mayonnaise from the bottom OF
the pail it would have ended serious
ly. Ptomaine poisoning develops
through the action of acid on tin.
That is why every can of meat OF
vegetables or fruits should be turned
out into an earthen bowl or crock i'm
mediately upon opening the tin cam.

RESTING

When one has something particn
lar on hand for the evening it is ad.
visable to rest up" for it during the
day, and here is formula for that
process suggested by an excellent
English nurse:
First lie down in the afternoon
with only a loose gown on, so that
the body can relax properly. Next
take a quick warm bath, afterward
rubbing the spine well with eau de
cologne.
| Next the face is to be gently wash.
ed in water softened with bran, as
hot as can be borne, then rinsed of
with cold water to which dash of
toilet vinegar has been added. To
| brighten the eyes, give them bath
by means of teacupful of slightly
sailed tepid water. Dress with de-
liberation, and if possible have some
one do your hair for you, if you do
not keep a maid.
It is a great aid to a successful
toilet to have all your things laid out
ready SO that you do not have to rum
mage in bureau drawers or turn out
boxes or tumble in closets at the last
minute. Whatever you are going to
! need in the way of clothes, stockings,
shoes, handkerchiefs, gloves, fan,
etc. should be where you can lay your
hand on them when you want them.

NECKLACES BECOME POPULAR.
The most casual observer can not
have failed to notice on every hand
evidence of the fad for old-fashioned
jewelry,. especially in necklaces and
chains. It would seem that every
grandmother's or auntie's jewel box
for articles long ago discarded by
their owner, scoffed at by the present
generation for years, but now sought
for in eagerness. The woman who
was wise enough to treasure her jew
elry instead of allowing her little
daughters to play with it, and more
often than not lose it, is the center
of envy now, for she arrays herself
or her daughter-both sometimes
with jewelry that calls forth words
Of praise and compliment - or
thoughts of envy and jealousy as the
case may be.
The girl lucky enough to induce
her mother TO part with some rare
set Of necklace, locket, brooch and
earrings, hastens to the jeweler, who
cleans and polishes, and perhaps
mounts the rings on the brooch as
pendants. But the old-fashioned
necklace is not enough. Along with
it, as likely as not, are strands of
modern beads, Oriental beads, pearls
or corals. Indeed, 1t is wonderful the
amount of jewelry that the modern
woman of accepted good taste wears
even in the day time. Besides a
necklace and strands Of beads, she
will wear a brooch at the throat, one
or more fancy pins at the back of
her collar, ON the. front of her bodice
a brooch, maybe a small sunburst.-
