Character Sketch of the Artists Wifs

From the London Daily Mall.
 Some ten years ago I remember being present at a soiree in one Of the few sa- Ions in Paris where one talks, lou Ton cause" as the French put it. The art of conversation was cultivated there. and so was music, without snobbery. without affectation.

 She came. She was dressed in a plain white gown, here and there bespangled with silver.

JAPAN AND CHINA HAVE
REACHED AN AGREEMENT

Picking, Sept. 4.-China and Japan
have concluded their negotiations on
the general Manchurian questions that
have been in dispute for some time.
The two countries soon will sign an
agreement under which China agrees
not to construct the Hsinmintun-Fa-
kumen railroad without consulting ia
pan; agrees that should the Kirin rail-
road be extended to the Korean bor-
der, half the capital required shall be
borrowed from Japan; that Japan
shall have the right to work the mines
in the Fushun and Yental districts;
that Japan shall construct the extern
sion of the Yinkow railroad; that
there shall be joint exploitation of the
mines in the zone reached by the Man.
that China shall open four trade marts
in the Chientao district between Ko-
rea and Manchuria, the Koreans liv-
ing therein to be under the juris die
ton of Japan and those residing out
side to be under the jurisdiction of
emma, except That Japan shall have
the right to hold court in capital cases,
and that Japan may move the station
of the South Manchurian railroad to
Mukden.
Japan agrees, first, to recognize Chi
nese sovereignty in the Chientao dis
trict; second, that the terminus of
the Hsinmintun railroad be moved to
FOUR-PATENTS

amount of the indemnities to be de.
termined later.
During the negotiations Japan de-
clined to discuss the question of the
administration of the railroad zones,

in those zones, and the ques ton of po-
Icing of the Antung Mukden line.

saw Rats Freight an Egg.
After an investigation covering two
weeks, william Krohbach Of Dandy,
Pa. has learned the reason he has
been receiving only two or three eggs
a day from his flock Of sixty hens, and
incidentally found out something
about the inventive capacity Of rats.
One morning he heard a noise in
his chicken house. and quietly making
his way there, he saw two big rats
in the act of making away with a
newly-laid egg. One Of the rodents
was lying fat on its back with the
egg tightly clutched in its four paws,
while the other rat was dragging it
along by the tail. Krohbach was so
impressed by the sight that he
watched the rodents for three minutes,
during which time they carried the
egg for twenty yards along the fence
mill they came to a hole In the
ground, into which they took the egg.
One OF the rats became tired while
carving the egg and changed places
with its fellow.

He then feeds heavily on corn for a
month or two and sells at an average
weight of 200 to 225 pounds. Another
man feeds all the corn and slop the
pigs will clean up, all the while graz
ing them on alfalfa pasture, and sells
at six to eight months old at weights
Of ESQ to 800 pounds. Another, who
raises about a thousand head a year,

ginning shortly after weaving and con-
tinuing until the hogs are sold at ten

Another farmer, from weaving time

NEW AND EASIER ROUTE
UP MOUNT RAINIER

Tacoma, September A new route
to the summit of Mount Rainier, and
one that almost entirely eliminates, it
is claimed, the danger element, has
been discovered by party consisting
of Ben, Len and LATE Longmire, Will
liam Stafford and William Sethe.
The route leads up a series of cleav-
ers that stretch from the snow line
on the southwest side to within a few
feet of the summit. So far as known
the mountain has been climbed but
once before from this southwest side,
and that was by P B. Van Trump and
William Bailey in the year 1880. They
followed the identical route of the
Longmire party until near the sum-
nit, when they switched to a cleaver
glacier.
Many others have tried to find the
route taken by Van Trump and Bailey
without success.
Several years ago, when the Sier-
ran, Appalachian, Rocky Mountain
and Mazama mountain climbing clubs
were encamped in Paradise valley,
they sent a scouting party under Guide
Sholes to find this path, but the party
encountered an impossible barrier
and was obliged to return.
The Longmires are enthusiastic over
the route, and believe it will be the
one generally followed by climbing
parties hereafter. The footing, they
declare, is much better than on snow
fields, and there is no danger from
crevasses or avalanches, such as are
found on the route via Gibraltar rock.
The only difficulty with the new route
is that the climbers ascent Peak Sue
cess, which is not the highest peak of
the mountain, and does not contain
the crater. Nevertheless, it is a safe
walk from the summit of Success to
the summit of Crater Peak, and noun
tain guides at Longmire springs are
disposed to believe that it is probably
as safe a method as any to negotiate
Crater Peak. In taking the new route,
parties will make Longmire
Springs headquarters instead of Para
disc.

Do REAL POETS STARVE?

William Watson, an English writer
of verse who, if pressed, would adj
mt that he was a poet, complains bit
terly in a recent letter that the Bri-
fish people are inherent to their
poets. He cites as an example john
Davidson, who mysteriously disap-
peared and is supposed to have COM
mitted suicide, and who went TO his
death "unwept, unhonored and un-
sung" to use a hackneyed phrase
Probably everybody will not accept
Davidson at the valuation placed
upon him by Watson, who calls him
as real a singer as Swinburne, but for
the most part the world is fairly ac-
curate in it's judgments. Certainly
there was never time when the
higher forms of genius. in all the de-
partments of art, literature, the drama
music, painting and sculpture, received
reward and recognition more nearly
commensurate with their claims.
1t is the fashion to bewail the
blindness of the public to the genius
which it never discovers; but this is,
at least sometimes, merely the cant
of failure. In these days when medi-
| ocrity is so often on pedestal,
when alfred Austin is poet laureate
of England and Richard Burton is
| probably the nearest approach to a
real poet that America can boast,
there are no Chattertons starving in
a garnet or Poes with the ravens
beak of despair in their hearts.
Where there is in the English speak
ing portion of the world today one
| unmarked grave of a genius, there
| are a dozen monuments to genius
gladly recognized or living examples
of unstinted payment of the peoples
| debt TO intellectual or artistic great
ness So far as the British people
themselves are concerned, they have
| never taken Mr.. Austin seriously. and

SAFETY IN RAILROADS.

From the viewpoint of both the
public and the railroads, it is graf
flying to note a substantial, reduc-
ton in the number of fatalities
among railroad passengers from year
to year. A report from Washington
says there We're 1882 fewer fatal
tiles to passengers and employees in
railroad accidents during the calendar
year 1908 than in 1907, and the year
1907, in its turn, showed even greater
improvement over 1906, the decrease
in fatalities being 2,17S. During the
calendar year 1908 the decrease in
fatalities was 20 per cent among pas
sengers and 81 per cent among en-
ployes. There were fewer accidents
of all kinds, and none of the great
railway disasters that shocked and
Mortified the country during the sew
eral years prior to 1906
The above statistics should convince
the public that the railroads are do
ing all in their power to prevent acct
