From Harper's Weekly.
 A Baltimore physician says that recent iy he boarded a Charles street car that was sadly overcrowded. He soon ob- served a big German sprawled over an area sufficient to seat two persons at least. while just in front of him stood .' poor, wan woman hanging to strap. Indignant at this exhibition of selfishness on the part of the German. the physician tapped him on the shoulder, saying:
 "See here! Why don't you move a lit tie, so that this tired woman may have a seat?'
 Say, dots a joke on you. all right! Dots my vife."

EeH wax For Wemen.


From I5undon comes startling re-
ports of a new figure and a new pose
which have been called into existence
bv the winter fashions. M0naen Who
have for the last year been lightly
tripping in the short ''tr0ttoir" skirt
have found that they must n1apt
their style OF walking to the new ar
der of Things. A slow, languDr0ns
movement of the limbs is therefore
cultivated, ns being more conductive
to grace when wearing the long red
ingote" coat and the newly intro
duced princess styles
The new walk Is Just little sug-
gestive OF the 'sGibson girl" but in a
modified form. The figure is held up
right ait the shoulders, with tile
slightest forward bend at the wrist,
the head is erect, the chin in and the
legs swing from the hips. The cor
rect pOise is not attained all at once
according Ito the london Express 4and
at the physical culture schools, where
society is now graduating in the ars
of how to walk in 'redingote, some
very drastic orders are given. Inc
practice of sleeping ON the back or
one side is fatal to the new poise.
If the woman of fashion would look
tan and stately she must sleep race
downward with a pillow tightly
wedged under her chin In order TO
avoid suffocatiOn.

ST. PETERSBURG, July THE members
Of the deputation which the Car received
at Peterhof have prepared manifesto
at Moscow for circulation among zemstvos
and other bodies throughout the country
which they represented. In this manifesto
they describe the system for an imperial
duma which NJ. Boulyguine prepared,
and which the Council of Ministers amended
and confirmed. as a perpetuation of the
present bureaucratic system. They also
tell of the refusal Of all the essential claims
which Prince Troubetzkoi and their friends
presented to the Gar.
The manifesto announces that NJ. Bouly-
e,ine's scheme makes the imperial duna
subordinate not only to the Council! of the
Empirp, but limits its scope to that of sec
tional technical committees which are
subordinate to each existing ministry.
Tie duma cannot originate or prevent the
adoption Of any measure. Its proceed
incs arc closed to the public and the only

are official ones censored by president

cables az follows:
Among other measures for the regenera-
ton of Manchuria adopted by Oyama is
the quartering Of Japanese soldiers in al
most every native house throughout the
thousands Of square miles Of territory
now held by the Mikado's men. These
soldiers set the population an example OF
personal cleanliness and order that Is
highly beneficial. The opportunity for
personal observation Of this new manner
Of life is already benefitng the Chinese,
who are beginning to copy the habits Of
their guests.
Hygiene methods have been introduced
into the villages, the streets are cleaned
regularly, public amusements have been
inaugurated, public gardens and parks
have been established and those already
existing improved. Large numbers Of
Manchurians have been taken into the
service Of the postal department and mails
are now regularly distributed. This latter
innovation is a landmark in the social de-
velopment of Manchuria.
