The Oriental Mind.
leo Printer

Frederic S. Isham, the author, told
the following to illustrate the double
dyed duplicity Of the oriental mind.
Mr.. Isham was in Pekin. Passing the
arch to the Baron Won Kettler, sup
posed to be an arch Of contrition for
the foul assassination Of that brave Of
fetal, the novelist asked a Chinaman
who spoke a little English:
you know why this monument was
erected, I suppose"
"Oh, yes" was the ready reply in
dialect, "to commemorate a triumphal
deed, the death Of a very powerful for"
eigner!"
Commemorate! And is %that"-in
amazement-"what the people general
ly think was the purpose Of this monu.
ment"
"Why not?' The Celestial's face was
fmmovable, but a suggestion Of sar-
donic humor seemed to fash from his
slant eyes. "Chinese people much likee
monument"
And, indeed, they seemed to bask In
the shade Of 1t with much satisfac-
ton.

Venetian Coffee houses,

The first cup Of coffee was drunk In
Europe at Venice toward the end of
the sixteenth century. The Venetian
chronicler Morosini in his records Of
the events in the year 1886 mentions
the beverage called "cavee'' drunk by
the Turks and noted for its anti-sopo-
rife qualities. In the year 1891 a
Venetian doctor introduced the berries
from Egypt. taught his countrymen
how to crush them and brew the bev-
erage, and the use Of coffee soon be-
came general-so much so, in fact, that
Venice was full Of coffee houses where
the people idled away their days drink
ing the aromatic beverage. A pecul-
iarity of the Venetian coffee houses
was that their patrons did not pay for
each cup Of coffee they drank. but
settled their bills for all the coffee
consumed ut the end Of each year.
The regular price of a cup of coffee
was 8 soldi, about 21A cents, and In
some of the old cafes Of Venice today
the same price is still charged.-New
York Sun.

II HORRID THING.

We once heard a bachelor speak
thus; Truly is woman the lesser
man. Less strength to her intellect,
less breadth to her sympathies, less
depth to her affections, all the fine
feminine attributes ascribed to her sex
are the fond imaginings of the mar
and not the innate characteristics of
women Take S~hapespeare's heroines
the world has never seen their like
in real life. They are what man
would have woman be, and not what
she really is. In fact, all the advance
ment ONE has made toward a
broader and higher humanity has been
compelled from her by the nobler sex.
And the coarseness, cruelty and base
ness of man is invariably to crafty
the barbaric instincts of some ANA
ON. She loves vice and cruelty but
is too %cowardly to practice these. She
is absolutely selfish and shameless.
She demands the spoils Of trickery,

The rights of Mrs. Henry H. Rog
ers to the Rogers fortune during
her lifetime make her one of the
richest women in the world.
Two thousand two hundred an6
eighty-three men, working every
day in the year for 80 years, would
earn, at wages of 80 day the $50,
100000 which Henry H. Rogers
possessed at the time of his death
Rogers earned the money in the
last 80 years of his life.
In the form of silver dollars il
would take two freight trains of rs
cars each to carry the Rogers for
tune.
1t would take $40 teams of horses
and wagons to carry it. This pro
cession would be three and a halt
miles long and you could stand on a
curb an hour and watch 1t go by,
If Rogers had wanted to put this
money into houses he could have
built $500 fiat buildings that would
have furnished quarters to every
citizen of Minneapolis, or Omaha.
or houses over half of Cleveland.
If Rogers got fair interest on his
money his income was $5,000,0e8 a
year. An income tax Of per cent
on this would have yielded the
government $250.O00 and this a an
nual sum, within 10 years, would
have purchased a battleship.
This income meant that hes re-
ceived $13,69S day. Every min
ute, during the "a hours OF each
day he became $3.50 richer.
Tick, tick. tick, tick goessrthe
clock. Every tick brought Ia
cents into Rogers pockets.
Roosevelt could shake hands
with 200 persons an hour. If he
stood in reception line this way
every minute of his life, shaking
hands as rapidly as he could, every
person would have to leave $2.Ss
in his hand to make and keep him

at once, could have set a 50-cent
dinenr for every man, woman and
child in the United States, and,
in addition, given every woman a
rose, every man cigar and every
child 10-cent bag of candy.
1t has been figured that the
birth of a child and it's care the
first year costs $166. Rogers, with
his fortune, could have cared for
an army of 10000 babies year for
ten years, and thus proved the
statement of Nathan Straus, the
jhilanthropist, that the lives of 3d.
600 babies could be saved in the
United States every year, IL suffi-
cient funds were at hand
Rogers could have paid the gro
Gerry bills of half a million families
Tor three months, keeping 100000
persons in food and house.
He could have bought outright
one-third of the large ships in the
United States navy.
This is figured on a $4,000, 900
basis. The ratio can be increased
about $25,6OO.0O0, as. Rogers was
probably worth $75,000,000.
