Love and Laundering.

The Korean mother, anxious to as
sure her daughters successful mar
riage. makes certain that the young
woman becomes a good laundress, for
ability in this direction counts for
more than beauty with the Korean
swain. He does not even demand that
his wife shall be more than a fairly
good cook. but she must be able to
keep fresh and spotless the linen gar
ments which every one. from prince to
peasant, wears. In spite Of the fact
that every article of wearing apparel
is of white linen, not even the humble
hatiron has made its appearance in
Korea, and the attempts to introduce
such occidental fads as washing ma
chimes and wringers have met with
marked disfavor. The laundry work
] is done in the same manner as it was
centuries ago, and the first recommen-
dation to a young mans favor is abili'
| ty as a laundress.

A cienr That saved a Life.

NJ. Guizot, the great French hlsto-
rian, once owed his life to his cigar.
Walking in one of the Paris gardens,
he noticed that he was being followed
by shabbily dressed man. NJ. Guizot
calmly sat down on O bench, upon
which his unwelcome follower also
seated himself, watching him all the
time with an uncomfortably threaten
ing air. The historian, however, was
not troubled, but took cigar from his
pocket and quietly lighted it, As he
did this the stranger rose and, mutter-
Ing that he had been mistaken, added,
THAT scoundrel ! seek does moi
smoke" Some days later the man was
arrested for murderous assault upon
a public official against whom he had
n grudge and for whom he had mis-
taken NJ. Guizot. whose cigar was thus
n veritable life preserver.

Strange aches and miseries racked his

 The most intense anxiety still pre- vails with regard to a possible uprising at Cronstadt and the general spread of the revolt through the entire naval es- taiblishment. A personal visit by cor respondent of the Associated Press to Cronstadt, however, shows that the au- thoritiey there received timely warming of the event at Sveaborg and nipped a possible revolt in the bud. They had the situation well in hand Tuesday night and quietly placed detachments of infantry at the doors of the ma rine barracks and removed the carbines from the racks in the buildings.
 Yesterday morning the 1,5OO sailors composing the seventh equipage, quar- tered at Cronstadt, whose loyalty had been questioned, found themselves pris- oners The correspondent saw them looking out of the windows of their barracks and unable to communicate with the outside The streets of Cron- sta6t are swarming with troops of the loyal guard regiments and the newly arrived men of the twenty-fourth diVi- sion. who serve to overawe the disaf- fected elements.
 The conmandant at Cronstadt order ed the confiscation of newspapers from St. Petersburg in order to prevent the news of the outbreak at Sveaborg from reaching the islanders. This measure was fairly successful.
 A group of agitators who went to Cronstadt in the same boat with the correspondent of the Associated Press attempted to hold meetings and commit nicate news of the sveaborg happen ings. They fled, however, before the leveled rifles of the soldiers.
 The offices of.the navy department at Cronstadt are besieged by the wives and relatives of officers on boardS the ships at Helsingfors, who are frantic over the reports that the crews had arisen and killed their superiorss

HIDE YOUR HARAER.
Pa, On q Smile and look For Better
Things,

The following card sent out by.
the Detroit commercial club, is
worth reading and pastingi in your
hat; IF there is any chance to
boom business, boom it. Don't
pull your face and look as though
you had a sour stomach. Hold up
your head, smile and look for
better things. Hide your hammer
and try to speak well of others, no
matter how small you know your
self TO be. When a stranger
drops in, jolly him, tell him this
is the greatest town on earth, and
it is. Don't discourage him talk
ing i'll of your nieghbor. Lead
nm TO believe that he has at last
struck place where white people
live. Don't knock. Help your
self along becoming popular, and
push your friends with you. It's
dead easy. Be a good fellow and
soon you will have a procession of
followers. No man ever helped
himself by knocking down other
people in character or business.
No man ever got rich by trying
to make others believe that he
was the only man in town who
knows anything. You can't
climb the ladder of success by
treading on other peoples corns.
Keep of the corns and don't
knock

Freight From Antwerp, Belgium, Less
Than From New Orleans.

Pitsburg, Pa. March. 8. One
of the cases that will be argued
before the interstate commerce
commission when it sits in this
city on March 9 will be that of
the Pitsburg Plate Glass company
against Che Illinois Central rail-
road,in which the former charges
the railroad company with dis
elimination in freight rates. The
Pittsburg Plate Glass company
alleges that while importers are
able to deliver plate glass in
Chicago from Antwerp, Belgium,
for 32c per cwt, by way of New
Orleans, the Illinois Central rail
road charges them Coo per cwt
from Chicago to New Orleans.
From Antwerp to Minneapolis a
rate of but 32c is charged, while
from Chicago to Minneapolis
the glass company is charged 4Oc
per cwt. The rates from Antwerp
include the vessel toll and the
freight is carried over so per cent
further by the railroad at a less
rate than is charged the domestic
manufacturer.
