don't permit my girl pupils to wear rubber

But they're always thinking OF their hair

way Of holding their bodies 80 rigidly while

NEW GLOVES FOR OLD.
An East Side wizard whose Art Meets q
Long Felt Want.

So far up on the East Side that none
Of his fashionable clients would have known
Of his existence II they had waited to dis
cover his shop until they passed IL is q new

dressed and haven't q fortune to spend
on their clothes. This wonderful man max es
old gloves az good as new.
He does not clean them nor mend them.
What he does Ii TO put new hands on old
arms. Thus he makes 1t possible for women
to wear several pairs Of hands with long
gloves that reach higher up than the elbow
and are still higher proportiopately in
price. 1t is only the hands in these ex-
pensive gloves that wear out. The long
sleevee-if they are called that-don't
show signs Of wear.
There are not many women who like
the Quee Of England wear pair OF gloves
only once. The women in New York
who spend most on dress are likely to have
gloves cleaned at least once and to the girl
in society who often goes out but has not
limitless means to buy new gloves the
ministrations Of the worker up on the East
Side are a benefit
He used to be in a shop in which gloves
were manufactured. He saw the great
profit there ought to be in applying new
lhAuub to iohB RoNeo oi WHICH tho HnBefS

When the time came for him to start out
in business alone he decided to experiment
with that sort Of repairing. The degree
OF his success will be understood best by
the woman who takes a ,paiY Of gloves
there to be repaired in hurry. All day
during the winter season there are car
riages there bringing women who carry
their own gloves to be repaired, maids
bringing them for their mistresses and
women leaning over the desk pleading to
have their gloves repaired in a hurry.
"The long sleeves Of gloves never wear
out he said to the reporter, @and to put
new hands on them practically makes a
new pair Of gloves for the wearer. Where
the hands are attached to the arms by
thin seam the gloves are Of course wrinkled
40 that the seam is not seen.
Women who buy high black gloves, for
instance, find that the hands wear only
short time. The fingers soon show the
effects Of wear, and yet IL would be absurd
for this reason to throw away pair Of
gloves that cost 90.
"Iu the same way white gloves may be so
we'll restored that they can be worn several
| times. All colors may have the fresh hands
added. Until began to make these new
parts Of the gloves they had to be thrown
away, once the fingers were worn out.
Women have been appreciatiye Of this
opportunity to get new gloves for old. and
the inventor OF the plan has prospered
until his staff OF assistants has grown more
and more numerous. His charges are not
cheap, except In comparison with the cost
Of pair Of new gloves reaching above the
elbow. Then they seem very cheap.

Attention. too must be paid to the rig
ging on racing craft. This rigging is
always made as light as possible. Some
times 1t is too light and accidents happen,
but with care these can be avoided. On
cruising yacht it Ia better to err on the
side Of strength and carry weight rather
than lose spar.

to keep In shape. The bugs, which are
small jib and mainsail boats, cost SITS each,
and there are about forty >of these racing

At the end Of the season they are laid up
carefully and come out the next year as good
as ever. The sails should be thoroughly dried
and stored away where they can be kept
dry. The spars and rigging should be care
fully packed away where they Will not be

should be hauled up on some beach and
covered with canvas. Many small boats
are stored away in sheds or houses in the
yacht basins. and when the next season
opens they need little preparation.

BRITON MOCKS. JAPANESE.
Editor BetheiI's Single Handed Fight iu
C0Yea.

C0Yea.
f. T. Bethel, the lone Englishman who
has been causing a peck Of trouble for the
Japanese administrators Of Corea by his
little four page daily paper published In
Seoul. has been at last suppressed, tenn
porarily at least, by prison sentence i'm
posed by British court. Whether he will
consent to remain suppressed is still to be
seen.
About month ago the Resident General
Of Corea suppressed Bethells Daily Nens
and also the daily Corsan edition OF the
paper. on the ground that the tone of their
editorials was exciting to rebellion on the
part of the disaTected Coreans. Bethel has
appealed to the British Resident-General
declaring thathis rights as British citizen
had been infringed, and the Resident-Gen-
eral is reported by Japanese papers to have
laid the case before Sir Claude Macdonald
British Ambassador to Japan.
All the white residents of Corea and Of
the treaty ports on the China coast who
have followed the stormy career of Bethel
in Seoul are said to be in sympathy with him.
About six months ago the British Foreign
Office, acting presumably at the instance
OF Japan, promulgated a rule to the effect
that the Resident-General of Great Britain
in any country where extraterritoriality
did not obtain--such as Corea--could ex-
ercise punitive powers over any British
citizen resident there whose actions seemed
to threaten the peace of the country. I'M
mediately following this Bethel was tried
before the British Resident-General in
Seoul on the charge Of disturbing the
quiet OF Corea by his repeated iterat ton OF
anti-Japanese sentiments In the Daily Netcs.
He was fined. and warned not to offend in
like manner again.
Bethel is one of the bulldog type of
Englishmen. He toned down the vigor of
his editorials for about two months and
then went after the Japanese again.
He walloped everything he could find
oppressive and unfair in the Japanese ad-
nese established an inspired newspaper in
English in Seoul purely to offset the in
fiuence Of the Enghshman's sheet Bethel
turned the guns of his yitfiolio rhetoric on
the broken English columns Of the Govern
ment paper and made the China coast ring
organ. The result has been the prison SEN
tence which the cable reported last week
he'd been imposed On him.
Since this Englishman' 8 paper was the only
mouthpiece Of the white foreigners in Corea
and because Of strict Japanese censorship
with hardly an exception are backing
Bethel. This has eSasperated the Japanese
to the limit any Japanese viii allow himself
to be exasperated.
As an index Of Japanese feeling in regard
to the noxious Britisher an article recently
appearing in one Of the more moderate OF
the radical Toxic papers is Illuminating.
This editorial strongly urged upon the
Government the necessity Of taking meas
ures to deport all foreign journalists and
editors in Corea whose writings are inimical
to the spread Of the Japanese propaganda
or calculated to prolong the present re-
bellion. Since there is only one such Jour-
nalst, this means that the Japanese
would have Bethel thrown out Of Seoul
by the scr,iff Of his unbowed neck.

any ordinary kind OF cold and able to whistle

tunes Chinese.
Among the agricultural specimens brought
home by Meyer are bamboo trees OF different

OF ornamental trees, such as dwarf lemons

the mountains north Of Pekin, where they
live In the snow. He brought them for the
geological gardens In Washington, where
the climate has hitherto proved too trying
for the ordinary monkey. popularity
Of these monkeys Is their ability to whistle.
