THE CHINESE WIFE.
Some Of the Attributes Of the Slant
Eyed Helpmates.

From the Pilgrim.
The Chinese wife is nearly always con-
slant, chaste and affectionate. Chinese
stories like to dwell on the love of women
that has no limit. This is why widowhood
Is revered and suicide, on the part of the
bereaved woman. Is not condemned in the
old classics. 1t is because of this general
acknowledgment of the unwavering con-
stancy of wives that the tickle woman is
held up to- scathing satire in their plays
and proverbs. It was from Chinese story
that voltaire drew his inspiration for the
tale of the woman who promised her hus-
band on his deathbed that she would not
marry till his grave was dry, and was found
next day tanning the mound to hasten the
drying process.
Much of this contentment on the part of
the Chinese women may, no doubt, arise
from the common interest of the husband
and wife in the growing family. You will
often see fathers wheeling baby carriages
along the streets. just as you may see older
sisters carrying the little fellows or moth
ers taking them on visit to their neigh
Dor for mutual com parison of baby all
ments and engaging traits. Until his
school days begin the little boy does about
as he pleases, but as soon as his days of
study begin he Is put under very strict
discipline.
Girl babies are less welcome arrivals In
a family than their little brothers, espe-
cially IL there be several Of them already.
Among very poor people In times Of fam
inc, girls are sometimes sold into slavery
by their parents, both to rescue the rest of
the family and the girls themselves from
starvation. The lot Of the slave girl is
hard one. She has none Of the rights of
free woman. But 1t ought to be added that
the Chinese look on this custom with
great disfavor. A slave owner is nearly
always thoroughly hated individual In
the community.

Rare Bird in Northern Waters.
.attle Post-Intelligencer.

From the Seattle Post-IhteIIigencer.
The first specimen of the fulvous tree
duck ever killed north Of British. French
and Dutch Guiana was shot a few days
ago by Phil Locke Of Aberdeen. near Grays
Harbor The bird has been stuffed and Is
now in the possession of the hunter who
killed It and Is priced as a rare trophy by
him.
The creature Is much like the American
wood duck. recognized as one of the most
beautiful Of birds. In color 1t Is light brown
on the breast and beautiful mottled
brown on the back. In shape 1t is much
the same as the American wood Duck but
Is considerably more leggy.
The bird Ii believed TO have been driven
north from South America by some storm
which 1t encountered while out at sea. The
bird was probably carried out OF its bear
Grays Hanbor, where It was gilled by Locke.

BRIDE WAS MISSING.
Chinaman Was Ready but American
Fiance Came Not.

The failure of Miss Maude Laird to ap-
pear at the Office Of Attorney w. Calvin
Chase Thursday to become the wife OF Lee
Hing, Chinese laundryman, did NOT
drive Lee to do some rash act for which he
would probably have been sorry. He merely
accepted the explanation that the prospec-
tive Mrs. Hing was indisposed and
returned to his place OF business. What
brought about the engagement between the
young woman and Lee Hing Attorney.
Chase could not tell. He had been consult
ed about the coming marriage, however,
and employed to arrange matters pertaining
to the license and marriage ceremony. 9.n'
Magistrate O'Neil consented to perform
the ceremony. and the prospective bride
was the only one who was missing A let
ter received from her told the attorney the
reason she was not there but what this
reason was he would not say today. Next

republic cannot legally be brought into
being by referendum. The fundamental
hereditary monarchy. and changes In the
fundamental laws only be effected
by the two-thirds majority vote of the
storthing after two elections. 1t is felt by
the government, and 1t is believed by the
large majority of the Norwegian people,
that the situation does not permit of such
delays IN arriving at settlement Why,
then, has the government agreed to
plebisctte being taken, especially as It is
felt. incidentally. that this repetition OF
the appeal to mass vote may lead to
demand for referendum being put for
ward on less important occasions, a result
OF which, again. the constitutionalists fight
rather shy?
The government has not, l am given to
understand, been directly influenced by the
republican agitation in Norway. 1t is cer-
tain of a large majority in the storthing-
But that agitation has been claimant. and
Prince Charles Of Denmark may very well
feel that to accept the crown from ms
jority in the storthing would not be in con-
sonance with his dignity. nor provide a
very auspicious opening for his reign.
Possibly, II the view taken In some influ-
entail quarters be correct, and IL repubii-
canism a practical policy be shown to
command comparatively little support in
Norway, the referendum may prove, after
all, to be a measure of wise policy. In that
case Prince Charles will certainly ascend
the throne with greater eclat than would
otherwise attend his accession.

garded as scheme for the obtaining OF
honorS for some of the council and the
originators of the Kingsway. Great salts
faction has been expressed at the lack Of
such bestowal. Only one honor has been
given by the king and at this no one will
cavfl because the man deserves it and not
for the Kingsway only.
The knighthood which the king has con-
ferred upon Mr. E. A. Cornwall, the chair
man of the county council, is the naturak
result of the great success which attended
the visit Of the president and members of
the Paris municipal council. For this rea-
SON the honor will be regarded with salts
faction even by Mr.. CornwalFs most siren
uous opponents. He has been a mighty
politician all his life. He first came into
prominence when, on the election of the
third county council, the contest was
fought on parliamentary lines. He organ
lied the progressive forces with such sue
OF the progressive organization. Thirteen
years ago he was elected to the county
council for the Northeast Bethel Green.
and has served as chairman Of many OF
the important committees.
Personally Mr.. Cornwall Is very popu-
lar with both sides on the council and Is
remarkable for the strenuous. work he has
performed on a body Which--whatever else
it's defects-is certainly hard working. Mr..
Cornwalls personal services to London
have been great but unobtrusive. He Is
one of band of young radicals who are
candidates for parliamentary honors In
LONDON
The address which Mr.. Cornwall delivered
yesterday gives some idea of the magni-
tude of the work which the government of
London involves. The debt of London is
now over S220. 100000 and it has increased
from $50, 100000 to this figure since 1889.
OF the debt, however, twenty-Seven mill
lions have been spent in remunerative work
which involves no charge ON the ratepay-
ers. The expenditure of the council has in
creased since 1889 from s16500 600 to $751;
100000 (G3, 100000 to s16-176,OoO). The to-
tai expenditure on local government in
London exceeds that of the government
OF Sweden and Norway combined, and Is
four times that of Denmark. Education
in London costs $40 per head, and seems to
be dearer than anywhere else except in
New York.
An eminent authority informed me that,
so far, he does not think that Norway has
suffered any serious loss commercially or
financially in consequence OF the coup
detat of June last. But the establishment
of republic might seriously embarrass

for the last week of 10000 aliens and
with the prospects of at least $4,000
more to come in on the steamships ar.

at Ellis Island will be taxed to the
utmost.
