TAFT SHOWS APPREHENSION.

Chicago, Feb. Secretary of War
Taft, who was the guest here last
night at dinner given by the Yale
club. in discussing the situation in the
far east revealed some little govern
ment uneasiness as TO the outcome
and he did not deny that the detach-
ment of $4,000 troops which has been
dispatched to the Philippines may be
needed in China in the near future.
The eastern situation is problem
atical" he said China is now in 4
state of unrest. To many it seems
that the conditions which prevail
there are similar to those which pre-
coded the boxer uprising. 1t must be
hoped, however, that the outcome may
not be the same. The detachment of
troops was not sent to China, but 20

why Women Are Pretty.
ITO Be Continued

According to an English specialist
who has made a careful study of the
subject the reason why women are
better looking than men is because
they are more indolent and are not
called upon to use their brains as
much as men are. Hard intellectual
work and assiduous attention to busi-
ness, he says, are harmful so far as
physical beauty is concerned. AS proof
that his theory is correct he points
to the Zaros. whose home is in British
India. Among them women hold the
place which in other countries is occu-
pied by men. The Zaro woman man
ages the affairs of state, goes into bus
mess on her own account. and does
not wait for proposal of marriage,
but proposes herself; whereas the Zaro
man has nothing to do but cook the
meals and look after his children. The
natural result. says the scientist, is
that the men of his singular tribe
are very pretty and the woman are
unusually plain.
