wOman,s Queer Status In China.

The law requires man in China Ia
mourn three years for the death OF his
father and hundred days for the
death Of his mother, but, strange to
say, a man would be ostracized if he
gave any signs whatever Of grief on
the death of his wife. Two intimate
friends engaged in coronation you'd
never think of even mentioning the
name Of any female relative. The
most common question CT "How's your
wife ?" is never heard in China and
would be considered a gross and most
objectionable insult, even between
most intimate friends. Chinese ''gen.
tlemen' never mention, look at or
speak to members Of the fair sex, ex-
cept those OF their own family. In
order to prevent the embarrassing
chance meetings with the women, the
visitor always herslds bis approach by

Our Big Brown Bears.

What percentage of people,-esen
of those whe feel an interest In wild
animal life, really know that the lsrg-
est flesh eating animals in the world
are found in America People gen.
orally believe, and have believed for
ages, that the African hon is the king
of beasts. But he is not nearly as
large or as powerful an animal as the
large brown bear of subarctic America.
The bears are not as ferocious or COM
bative as the lions nor are they near
ly as vicious as they are given credit
for being. But the largest Of them
are much larger and more powerful
than any of the lions. 1t is safe to
say that the largest brown bears OF
the north would weigh three times as
much as the largest specimen OF hon
and is beyond all question greatly
superior in strength.
Comparing these two powerful AMI.
mails in action il brought together IN
combat, the bear would at first seem
very clumsy. Il would not be cspa-
bic of the quick rush or the catlike
spring OF the lion. 1t would not at
tack, but would remain entirely on
the defensive, meeting Its adversary
with blows of such rapidity and ter
rible force as if at once TO illustrate
its superiority not only in strength,
but in action. l do not believe there
is an animal in the world that can act
more quickly or effectively or can
aim its blows with greater certainty
than the bear.
The large brown bears of the Alas
ka peninsula, south OF beting sea, are
among the largest bears of the world,
and it is evident that ther is no part
of the world outside of America in
which such large flesh eating animals
are found. The bears are carnivor-
Gus, yet there are none of them that
depend upon flesh as food, and with
most Of them flesh comprises but a
very small percentage of their food.
The large brown bears Of Alaska
peninsula and Of the north usually
travel to the sea when first leaving

Ultimate Fate OF Fish.

II mean. Of course. 6sh in nature

be called natural death that fish in
captivity die. Their environment in.

tive habits would escape. and thsss

Along unnoticed ways.
Look up and you catch the glory
OF the infinite arching skies.

faults in the geological construction

hope and pray that the cure has been
