A Rain Of Quail.

While the town was being illum-

Of being struck by lightning. Even the

China After Ideas.

Slowly but surely modern ideas are
getting foothold in China. The. ap-
pointment of commission to visit
Japan, Great Britain and Germany
with view to examining and report
ing upon the working of constitution
al systems in those countries is full
OF significance, which is increased be-
cause of the character Of those chosen
for the service. These are men of the
most progressive spirit. Further
more, they represent the aspirations
OF the real Chinese rather than the
purposes of the Manchus, who to a
large extent are an alien element, al
though they have managed to fasten
their power upon the government and
to perpetuate dynasty which has
been a constant source of political
friction. The voice OF awakened
China is making itself heard and is
likely to be more insistent in demand.
ing changes and reforms that shall be
for the benefit OF all the people. And
much OF this impetus to better things
comes from Chinese who have been
educated in the United States or have
lived here long enough to see how lib.

DON'T DIE-LIvE ALWAYS.
You Are Only Babe at 500 and Ole
at 1000 Yearsf

New York.-An amazed audience at
the West Side Y, M. c. A., No. s1s
West Fifty-seventh street, was told re-
Gently by Harry Gaze, lecturer from
London, that those present could live
100. 200, 1000 years or eternally, If
they would follow faithfully the simple
system of Gazes secrets of perpetual
life.
Your are old because you think you
are DID," said Gaze. "I am young be.
cause think l am young. For the
main part keeping young is only a
mental process. You read in the Old
Testament and learned the allotted
span of life for man is three score and
ten years. 1t is a fallacy, as are many
things in the Old Testament. f
Il have been lecturing for fifteen
years and people tell me l look like a
kid l do because have forgotten that
there is any such think as growing old
| have refrained from worry and led
clean life. That is all there is in the
secret of life.
DO you ever expect to die?" asked
one of Gaze's audience.
II have died more than 100 times al.
ready" he replied. This is not the
same body to which my mother gave
birth. l die after a manner every few
months and am reborn-that is, my
strength, energy, brain and youth are
reborn that often. am simply reborn
more vigorous than ever before.
When man gets to be fifty he says
he is getting old. When he says so he
believes SO. He does not figure on liv.
ing more than the three score and ten
allotted years and as result does not.
He is old because he thinks he Is
and there is relaxation. II at sixty
he decided that he was young and
would live to be 200, would refrain
from worry and live cleanly, he would
live to that age"
Mr.. Gaze says he is going to remain
in New York long enough to teach So
ciety women who now use cosmetics
10 hide the marks of years. his secret
of eternal youth. Incidentally. Gaze
believes that when the world is sum.
ciently populated by persons who will
live forever, nature will see that gen.
GRAFTON ends. He declared that every
one in the audience was a mere baby.
Il am ninety" said one man.
Just in your swaddling Clothes"
Gaze replied.
AS examples of his theory Gaze
spoke of Frenchman now more than
40 years old and of girl who was
placed in an Ell ;,lish insane asylum.
She was twenty when committed. She
imagined her lover would remain
young until he come At seventy,
Gaze said. she looked to be only
twenty.

StaQe Reform.

Every now and then the important
intelligence is impaired to a waiting
multitude that the stage is to be ele-
waited. 1t is an old cry and it signifies
nothing, for the patrons of the play
house make 1t what 1t is and mana.
gers only supply a public demand.
References are always being made to
the palmy days Of the drama, AID a
revival of them is frequently predict
ed, but the truth is that there were
just as reprehensible performances in
the past as there are in the present,
though, Of course, there were some
noble histrionic efforts that are re-
,peated to-day. 1t Is claimed that this
is an era of commercial managers,
who are only bent on making money
and are deficient in artistic inspira.
tion, but even Shakespeare did not
disdain accommodating comfortable
fortune for his day from the produc-
ton of his plays, and few men are
anxious to embark in an unpaying
venture, even for the sake of art. We
are now told that there is to be an
intellectual theater in upper Broad
way. New York, where only the cream
of the best old and new plays will be
brought out. We wish it success, re-
marks the Boston Budget, but we are
afraid that its patronage will not be
remunerative, for the theater is re-
sarded by the majority of people as
a place of entertainment, and not as
a school for moral and intellectual
training.

Must Take Sunday Rest.

Berlin.-Sunday rest in Germany is
to be enforced In future more strictly
than hitherto. In pursuance OF orders
from the minister Of the Interior who
is determined that no labor, unless alb.
solutely necessary, shall be done on
the Sabbath day. Factory inspectors
have been making inquiries into the
possibility Of closing the factories in
various branches OF industry which
until now have been accorded permis-
sion to work seven days week.
The result Of their activit::, hos been
that the minister decided not to re-
new the permissions at the expiration
In a large number OF cases. Shops
are already closed on Sundays in both
towns and country during church hours
in the morning and evening, but the
question now under consideration is
whether to allow In future only those
where necessary articles are on sale
to open for few hours on Sunday
morninge. The regulation will not af-
feet in any way the restaurants and
cafes.

Table Manners.

Man gives up with reluctance the
table manners of the jungle. For cen.
turtles he has been instructed with
line upon line, precept upon precept;
but the average boy and girl still pre-
fer fingers to forks and tongues to
napkins. 1t may, however, be encour-
aging to the weary mother to OBJ
serve that a little progress has been
made by the human race in four cen
turies, even though her individual
specimen of boyhood may lag far be-
hind perfection. Erasmus, writing
for the young gentlemen Of his time,
laid down a code of table manners re-
markable for what they do not take
;or granted; and although we must
make some allowance for the irony of
the learned critic, We still have pic
ture of the dinner table of his time
calculated to give us hope of our own.
He assures his reader that 1t is very
rude to wipe his nose on the table
cloth or his fingers on his neighbor's
coat. One may not praise the achieve
ments of ones own cook, or criticize
unfavorably ones hosts dinner, no
matter how badly it is cooked. A
courteous guest will not give his
bones to the dogs to crack under the
table, nor will he feed the cat, or en-
courage either cat or dog to jump on
the table. But, above ALL" says the
frank and vigorous Erasmus, "do not
lick your plate! 1t is an act that i'll
becomes a cat, let alone gentle
mani"
