QUALITIES OF WIT AND HuMoR.
Alike, Yet in Many Ways Fundament.
ally Different.

Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that it has always
been found difficult to analyZe them,
says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points, however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
lectual, humor an emotional, quality;
that wit is a perception of resem-
blance, and humor a perception OF
contrast, of discrepancy, of incongru-
ity. The incongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per-
haps it might be added that it is al
ways Or almost always a moral in
congruity. In the case both of wit
and humor there is also pleasurable
surprise, gentle shock, which ac-
companies our perception of the hith-
erto unsupported resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
was once describing in the pres
ence Of a very humane person the
great age and debility of a horse that
he formerly owned and used "You
ought to have killed him." interrupt

A REAL "HoSS" RACE.
Country Fair the Place to See Il at
Its Best.

If you would see a horse strap
ped, booted, braced and geared to
the limit, you must seek such a
track as you see at the old-time
country fair. Here comes an awk-
ward flea-bitten gray which never
went under ESQ in his life. He is
hobbled and checked and goggled, and
hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and
crosswise until there is more har-
ness than horse. You wonder how
his driver ever got him into this rig
ging, and how he will get him out
again without cutting him free with
a jackknife. A farmer with a
gray beard and twinkling eye OBJ
serves to his neighbor:
Last time John Martin had that
plug out on the road I told him he
had the old cripple overloaded with
aids-to-the-injured. Them straps
that was carlated to hoist up his
knees must ha' pulled too tight and
the critter was, yanked clean off the
ground. What John was gettin'
ready for was a race for flynn ma
chimes, not a boss ot."-F'rom "The

Shanghai, China. - The greatest
moral sensation at present agltat-
ing the east is not being Gre
ated by a missionary, but by an
officer of the United States gov
eminent, Judge L. R. Whitley OF
the new circuit court for China. with
the majority of foreigners resident in
port cities, Judge Whitley is to-day
probably more unpopular, even, than
are the missionaries, and for largely
the same reason. What the mission
aries have been trying for generations
to accomplish, in the way of cleaning
up the American reputation out here,
and improving moral conditions,
Judge Wiley has wrought almost
over night
The shame of Shanghai is interna-
tional; in every part of the civilized
world Shanghai is known as a wide
open city. AS one resident expressed
it: There is no public sentiment
here" Shanghai about fulfills the
desire of Kipling's soldier:
ship me somewhere east of Suez,
Where the best is like the worst,
Where there amt no Ten Command
ments,
And a man can raise a thirst"
An American Monopoly of Vice.
But here comes the rub: the Amer
leans have had almost a monopoly of
the business end of the vice of Shang
hal The gamblers, panderers, dive
keepers and loose women were mostly
registered at the American consulate.
British consuls in the east have had
the right, which they have generally
exercised, to deport shady characters
of their own nationality; American
consuls have not. For so years, then,

Road to Beauty.

There is just one royal road to beau
ty, and that is good health. To try
to mold a beautiful figure and pretty
face out of an unhealthy body is as i'm.
possible as it would be for an archi-
tect to build his foundation on bed
of sand. Before you try your beauty
exercises to reduce the hips and waist
and to fill out the hollows of the
neck stop and think if yo, have the
physical foundations to build on. If
you find you are anaemic, exhausted
and tired, postpone the beauty exer.
cises and pass your time resting and
getting strong. Sleep as much as you
can, take long walks, drink lots of
wafer, and do not eat many sweets.

were quite willing to let America
bare the blame for all their misbe-
havior.
How Missionaries Won UnpopuIarity.
Against this infamy missionaries
have for years protested and labored
IN vain. Shanghai, like all other
treaty ports in China, is an interna-
tional extra-territorial settlement;
each resident is under no law except
that of his own country, as admins
tered by his consul. The very fact
OF American laxity has caused dis
reputable characters, even of other ma
tionalities, to seek the protection of
that flag for their evil doing.
A few of the official figures from
the settlement records may be en-
tightening in this connection-and be
1t remembered, these are not Stats
tics OF the native city, but of the for
elgn settlements, over which the Chi
nese have no control whatever. The
unedifying spectacle has more than
once been presented in Shanghai of
heather" officials vainly pleading
with the representatives of Christian
nations to close out or restrict GER
tain forms of evil, notably opium re-
sorts, gambling houses and brothels,
for the sake of the thousands of Chi
nese who are being ruined therein.
Shanghai's foreign population is A.
600, of whom LOO are Americans.
The British dominate, although they
are somewhat outnumbered by the
Japanese. French, Portuguese and
Germans come next in order of inn
portance.
In licensed existence within the set
Element were, at the time of the issu-
ance of the recent municipal Stats
tics, $1,000 opium houses and shops,
