There is man on board who has
spent his entire time, since leaving San
Francisco, Investigating missionaries.
He dislikes them, because of Henry
George, and has made some startling
discoveries. Among other statements
he makes is the following: In the inter
Tor Of China, the first American thing
the Chinese learn is to swear in Eng

pie there are missionaries, the passenger
wants to know where the Chinese learn
to swear in English The passenger
always asking: Where did they learn
it," This has become a bywOrd on the
ship: Where did they learn it?''
The passenger also says that the mis-
1 sionaries dress in Chinese clothes and
wear pig tails. and go about beating

This passenger has also heard about

In travelling, It is said to be all right
for anyone to call on a consul, and
bother him, but they say you must not
call on an ambassador unless you
have special letter of Introduction.
Here is another point: do not wear a
dress suit at dinner; wear a dinner coat.
And It follows that you should not wear
a dinner coat in the evening at an op-
era, concert or reception: at these at
fairs you should wear a dress suit.

There are only two young girls on
board: my daughter, and a girl from
Portsmouth, Ohio, who is going to the
Philippines with her brother. One day
they were sitting in my room, peeling
apples and chattering. The door of the
room opens on deck, and Captain Smith
sauntered by; smoking, as usual. He
stopped, leaned against the door and
looked in at them. They talked to him
awhile, and the he wandered away. At
ter his departure it occurred to them
that he hadn't said a word; and they
were very indignant. He seems very
tired of passengers in general, although
he is always polite. II you had been
seeing passengers every day for 40 years,
you would be tired of them too.

We all hate the Chinaman because
he smokes opium. 1t has not been so
many years ago that the Chinese gov
eminent decided to put a stop to the
sale of opium, then imported largely
from India, a British possession.
This interfered with the prosperity of
India, and consequently with the pros
perity of the Christian English, SO they
went to war with the Chinese and
compelled them to permit the opium

One OF the passengers a bachelor girl
who was noted for her big appetite
was married to a missionary at Shang-
hal and he came back with her IN the

like his looks very well, but as they
went down the stairway, they were

meet the missionary at Hong Kong, but

In Merrie England

Times and manners change. The
customs of London, ancient and mod
ern. greatly differ. Says the London
Times regarding medieval days.
Dancing was a passion with every
body. From the Queen to the milk
maid, all the women danced from the
King to the craftsman, all the young
men danced. They danced In the
streets whenever 1t was possible
which was one of the reasons why
May Day was so Joyous a festival. The
more courtly people had dances digni-
fed and stately, such as the Dance au
Virlet. in which each performer sang
a verse. and then they all danced
around singing the same verse in
chorus: the Pas de Brabant, where
every man knelt to his partner; the
Danse au Chapelet, where every man
kissed his partner; they danced to-
gether singing minstrels' songs they
danced IN the garden, they danced IN
the meadow, they went out at night
to dance, with tapers in their hands;
they danced TO beautiful music played
by an orchestra. Where is the dane
ing spirit now? Where the mixed

Early autumn
TaiIOrmades

1t is precarious even TO speak OF
the fall frock
None of US have had half a chance
to wear out summer clothes yet. And
most of US are still buying bargains
of reduced linen and cObweb blouses;
while the sale of midsummer reduc-
tions still runs on merrily as if moth
ing but these thin things We're to be
worn forever.
Nevertheless, in the midst all this,
the merchant has sprung his first
showing Of autumn tailOrmades, and
forehanded women are casting one eye
warily in that direction. while keeping
the other eye open for tempting re-
ductions in muslins and lawns.
And so. while not yet possible to
fully prognostcate the details of the
fall frock. it is safe to say 1t will IN
some cases at least have a short. half
fitting box coat, and in other cases a
short Jacket. with brief basque attach
ments over the hips; while in other
cases the coat viii be a good three
quarters length.
Probably the short coat will pre-
vail. this dlctum being confirmed also
by the pictures in the newest and
authoritative foreign magazines devoted
to the grave business Of foretelling
sartorial events.

First Aid

A lady had a rather embarras ss-
ing experience in a London church
last Sunday. she accidentally let her
handkerchief fall. BY repeatedly stoop-
ing to reach it furtively she attracted
the attraction OF the gentlemen in the
pew behind. who thought she was
about to faint. With the best Of
motives therefore, ne took her gently
under the arms and raised her up,
greatly to her surprise. AS she tried
to release herself another gentleman
went to her assistance, and before the
lady knew what was the matter they
were moving her out into the aisle
and. indeed. carried her into the yes
tibule before she could recover sufii-
ciently from her astonishment to find
words for protest. The finale, Of course,
as the London Tribune solemnly an
nounced, was ludicrous in the extreme.
