From Shansi there now comes a pathet-
ic tale OF extreme poverty leading to law
breaking, and the consequent punishment.
In the region north of Fen-Shou-Fu (Shan-
SD. the people are very poor. When they
planted wheat, tho income from their
small farms was not sufficient for the
years expenses. They knew that II they
planted the poppy, their income would be
greater. They also knew that II was
against the law. as the Chinese govern
ment is fighting the opium traffic; but In
their straits they decided that they must
grow opium. So they banded together.
thinking II every one planted It, the au-
thorities could not do much In Furnishing
them. They started planting and retribu-
ton followed quickly. An official with a
hundred soldiers went to the cillage and
shot down 80 men, and told the rest he
would be back tn do the same to them II
the poppy were allowed to grow.--Lucy ].

Vienna once possessed the strictest dra-
matte censor ever known. in the person
Of Franz Hoegelin. who held that post In
the Austrian capital at the beginning Of
the last century. Hoegeln published a
manual for the guidance OF censors. "A
pair OF lovers should never be allowed to
appear on the stage alone. They must
always be accompanied by a third person
Of mature years" Marriages out OF ones
class were also strictly forbidden by
Hoegelin on the stage. and he quotes as
instance of a play which he refused to
pass because the author made the hero
Count Vlademar. marry a gardeners
daughter Such misalliances have unfor-
tunately been known to occur in real life,
but that is no reason why they should be
allowed on the stage" he said.

Among the 100 men who have passed the
winter at work In the coal mines at Ad-
vent bay, Spitzbergen. there has been lit
tie sickness. The winter was unusually
mild. and the work progressed under the
most favorable conditions. About 5000
tons of coal, pronounced OF excellent quail
ity, have been extracted and made ready
for market The excavations are now so
deep that work in the mines can be car
ried on regardless of weather and sea-
sons. Suitable buildings have been erect
ed, and substantial wharves are under
construction. 1t is stated that, owing to
the mild weather, the whole west coast
of Spitzbergen all the way to Advent bay
is free Of ice, and that the snow had dis
appeared from the mountains as early as
May.

SCENTS FOR USE IN BATH
Simple Mixtures That viii Give Com
fort When One Comes In
Tired and Warm.

Nothing Is so invigorating when
tired and warm as scented bath OF
hot water. In summer days 1t proves
particularly refreshing when taken be-
fore dressing for the evening.
The simplest OF these baths Is made
by adding cologne. toilet water or vio-
let ammonia to the bath water.
A good aromatic mixture to keep on
hand is made from two ounces of
tincture of camphor, four ounces of
cologne and an ounce OF tincture Of
benzoin. Add enough of this to the
bath water to make 1t milky.
II you are presented with colognes
or toilet waters that are not espe-
cially fragrant, use them in the bath
The scent is so faint as not to be
disagreeable, and the refreshing quail
ties are as great as from more expen-
sive colognes.
Another refreshing bath is made by
squeezing the filtered juice Of four
lemons into a quarter of tubful OF
water.
Where the aromatic bath seems ex-
travagant. or there is no time for It.
put a solution Of the mixture given
above into a spray and spray 1t over
face, neck and arms.
Putting cologne back Of the ears. on
the temples and on upper lip is ex-
tremely restful and cooling.

featured on midsummer hats, at the
moment. Small June roses have been
in demand and promise to continue in
demand until we say goodby to the
summer months.
To return to the useful milan. a
lovely example, faced with black vel
vet, and trimmed with a garland OF
pale pink tulle roses is about as
happy a combination as has sprung
from the fancy of millinery designers
so far. The rose garland on hats and
on gowns gives the most genuine
pleasure, and in the delicate tulle,
with pink at the center. shading out
to white in the outer petals. rose OF
fairyland, sort of rosy ghost OF the
blossom, charms everyone who sees
it. 1t is very lovely and very fragile.
Big hats of net shirred to frames OF
fine silk wire and having crowns that
are clouds of pulled net. form back
grounds for the large tulle roses
which stand at the side. Nothing but
the flower and the foliage is needed.
except the stems which are made care
fully lifelike, even to the thorns.
These are of rubber and have no
sting. They do not need 1t. In a
handmade lace or net hat there IL
sting enough this season in the price
ticket. But the day Of cheap MILL
merry is almost gone; people want fine
things nowadays and must pay for
skill and work. Perhaps they do SO
more cheerfully when the subject to
be considered is a hat than at any
other time.

MET and lace hats. milans faced with
~ velvet, hair braids, leghorns and
lingerie hats, and especially net and
lace. these are the words most often
on the lips of the milliner just now.
Hair braids-for those who can afford
them-undisputed queens among hats
for the hot weather. are not pictured
here, but everyone knows their beauti-
full texture and their durability.
1t Is peculiar that the milan, which
Is heavier than any other of the mid
summer braids. should be so often
chosen. 1t is really a matter of habit
with the milliner to put before her
people the milan. large. comfortable
and simply trimmed. for an all-round
midsummer hat. Vivid shades of
green, with the golden yellow Of the
milan gives color combination that
Is never tiresome. The decoration is
usually feather of some sort in the
same color and a fiange or facing of
velvet.
Just now a pretty idea is a cluster
of lilac blossoms at the side of a
broad brimmed shape with one or two
sprays standing; these blossoms are
tinted to the color of the hat and
shade OF to lighter tones. A milan,
for instance. is trimmed with lilacs in
light yellow shading of to white. A
single Easter lily in black velvet
makes telling touch. arranged in the
heavier portion Of the spray.
Roses have not queened 1t as usual
this summer. for all other blossoms
have claimed attention. But rose
wreaths and sprays of large roses are

secondly, benefit to your own people

the good that is being done by the

some visible fruit in the life and work
of the man who breaches if his preach
ing is going to have very great eff
feet upon those to whom he breaches.
That visible fruit can be shown in
many different ways, and one Of the
most efficient ways of showing it Is
by just such work as is being done in
connection with this building, which
