CLOSING PEKING'S GATES.
Noisy Ceremony Performed Daily ~

Noisy Ceremony Performed Daily at
the Chinese Capital.
The closing Of the gates in Peking
Just because it goes on daily and may
apparently 60 on daily for centuries to
come is probably one Of the sights"
least witnessed and talked OF save by
those foreigners who may have chanc-
ed to run for 1t" near closing time.
The daily performance is marked with
n due ceremony which Is quaint and
full of interest to the intelligent on
locker, as the closing 10y no means
signifies the mere bringing together OF
the heavy wooden doors and barring
the emperor's highway against all
corners.
At the appointed hour preliminary
signal is given by Il large gong or iron
shield being struck with Il big iron bar
fifty times I'm such quick succession as
almost to defy calculation. This Is
followed by a signal Of 100 blows re-
peated in precisely the same fashion
three times. When the third and last
cycle of gong strokes IS entered on
number of old and ut this season very
much bewadded and muffled up old
CHARLES start series Of discordant
yells to all and sundry to 'hasten" or
they will be shut out. This combina-
ton Of signals Is followed by a JOS
Ting stream Of people in both direc-
lions.
Presently the rush slackens until
only a solitary pedestrian or possibly
q man on donkey, full tilt, belated
rickshaw or heavily laden cart strug-
giles through. Then a movement Is
made with the gates, yelling bursts out
afresh and another rush ensues, the
gates being meanwhile half closed and
occasionally opened a little way again
until, the outgoers having meanwhile
ceased. there is final scrimmage to
get into the city. and the process Of
closing, which has taken some half
hour in all, is concluded.
The huge iron plated doors having
changed to, a monster iron pole is drag
ged up and placed across them on iron
supports, being retained in position by
paddock of enormous proportions

men there Is naturally more traffic.

INITIATIVE WOMAN.
A Cynical English View Of Feminine

A Cynical English View of Feminine
Human Nature.
. Decidedly women are an initiative
class. From her earliest age the small
girl apes the doings of her elders and.
had she her own way. would be a mini
AZURE epitome Of fashion. Such enter
tainments as she is permitted to wit
ness In her mothers drawing room she
initiates, with dolls and nurses for COM
pany, in the nursery. In her school
days she invariably forms" herself
on some special friend whom she elects
as model Of feminine perfection. And
ut a certain stage Of their lives girls
are as much alike as peas In pod.
AS they mature and develop they may
perhaps show some signs Of Individual
ity, but in all the main issues Of life
they continue to be more initiative than
original
Fashions, housekeeping and enter
tanning are all more or less conducted
OH the same lines, and the only true
sign Of friendship that is shown to the
young married woman Is. to beg her to
order her life and her home on her
friends principles. Any departure from
those principles or any symptom Of in
dividual taste or strength of mind will
sound the first challenge Of unpopulari-
ty for the budding matron. Her moth
or and her mothers friends will alike
desire imitation Of their methods as
the "sineerest form Of fiattery." and
every decline from the original system
will be pronounced wrong or injudi-
cious.-Rita In London Mail.

some of those caves are found the pol
