CHINESE WEIGHTS, MEASURES

The Chinese government proposes
to adopt the met ic system. and count
in tens. But it will be many years be-
fore the bewildering Chinese weights
and measurers are abandoned. Turn
your eyes to Europe. A hundred years
and more have not induced France to
abandoned the old forms. "Sous" are
more frequent than centimes, and
France-the country France-still in
sists on the names of the old mea-
shres. Wine is sold in barriques and
chopines, the beer in canettes. milk in
pints. and firewood in oordes, while
in the smaller shops the livre is the
unit, not the kilogram.
1t would be easier to count In tens,
but each country-almost every viii
tage-has its special measures. In our
own happy island we reckon i'm guineas
and pottles, and pints, and pounds
and cords and firkins, and reputed pints
and imperial pints, and ounces that
may mean anything from so many
gills to so many bits of a pound. And
so soon as you cross the channel you
find other people clinging to the local
custom. Possibly there is a shrinking
from universal knowledge of the
measure, 1t heartens a man when the
othef man doesn't know exactly the
relation between a guinea. pottle and
a pint.--London Chronicle.

A CLEVER LITTLE BIRD

The tomti is the most amusing OF
English birds, says the Weekly Tele-
graph. In the autumn, some years
ago, a young woman secured a cock
tom-tit She tied a bit of red silk
around his leg, and turned him loose
again. The following April the bird
reappeared, bringing with him mate
having a bit of blue ribbon tied
around her leg. The pair took up
their abode in a big oak tree. soon
swinging a nest and bringing forth a
brood. The lady watched the move
ments of the beribboned couple very
eagerly, and what was her astonish-
ment one day soon after they left the
nest, to behold the young birds all
strung out in line on a limb. while the
parent birds. with deft beaks and feet,
tied a bit of bright cloth about the
leg of each. The ingenuity of the TOM
tit is we'll known. and it is probable
that the first bird became so pleased
with his decoration that he tied a blue
ribbon to the leg of his mate, and
wished to hand down the custom to
his progeny. The young woman is now
eagerly looking forward for the re-
appearance of her little friends this
season, and means to bestow on each
a bright new ribbon should they come
again.

CABBIES FIGHT WHIP
DUEL OVER SWEETHEART 7
In Love with WaSherWoman, the
Drivers Lash to Exhaustion

PARIS, April 23.-Two cab drivers,
Jean Thibault and Pierre Roux, who
occupied the same stand in the Boule-
ward des Batignolles and had been on
excellent terms, quarreled last week on
making the discovery that they were in
love with the same washerwoman.
Neither of them had proposed to
Marie Hamard, the all-unconscious OBJ
ject of their affections, and they de-
clded to fight the matter out to Settle
who had a better claim before either of
them approached the object OF their
affection.
A combat took place in quiet
street 1t was a duel on totally novel
lines. There were no seconds, and the
weapons used were whips, with which
the complaints mercilessly lashed each
other.
They were exhausted and bathed IN
blood when a policeman arrived on the
scene and took them to the police sta
tion. Later they were dismissed with
a caution, and happily their enmity
has been again turned to friendship,
for the washerwoman, on hearing of
the story, FASTENED to their cab stand
where she expressed her regret at haV-
ing caused the trouble, and added that
she had already been engaged for some
time to a plumber

MONKEY AND SNAKE

A native naturalist tells how he saw
monkey catch and kill venomous
snake. 1t was a cobra The serpent was
coiled up on the ground under tree.
The monkey slowly left his perch in
the forks of the tree, and quitely, with
great caution, moved downward until
he had approached within two feet of
the reptile. lie looked like a solemn
old man, curiously moving his head
from side to side, as if closely inspect
ing the object before him.
Then the monkey took firmer hold
of the tree with one arm, and wrapped
his tail closely round the trunk. He
reached forth his hand, until it was
within six or eight inches of the snake,
and then quickly withdrew it. l was
excited and wondered If he knew the
dangerous character of his adversary.
Was he playing unknowingly with
death? The hand of the monkey again
moved toward the venomous reptile.
Was he going to seize the creature?
Suddenly, like a tightening flash, the
monkey grasped the cobra round the
neck, close to the head, in such man
ner that 1t could not bite. while the
snakes body encircled the monkeys
arm. An astonishing scene followed.
The snake hissed loudly; the monkey
chartered and screeched and danced
and leaped in wild delight. He would
stop his wild contortions, and seri-
ously examine the snakes head and
eyes and protruding tongue, and again
grin and dance about After he had
had enough of this sport, he began
to rub the head of the serpent on the
hard ground, and continued TO do this
with repeated serious inspection of his
work, until he had rubbed the head of
the cogra entirely off. Then, with much
gleeful ehattering, he dropped the still
writhing body. and scampered away
to join his companions in a neighbor-
ing Bombay Gazette.

PARTISAN ACTRESS HAT
GETS ESCORT IN ROW
Prince Upbraids InsuIterS and Is
Struck in Face

PARIS, April 23.-The marvellous hat
worn by Nine. l4iame de Pousy, the
Partisan actress, has almost brought
about a duel in the fashionable suburb
of ST. German, and even though this
denouenent was aVerted, police court
proceedings are to follow.
The actress was walking in st. Ger
main in company with Prince c.,
when two ladies who passed her fol-
lowed at a short distance by their hus-
bands, began to make audible and not
altogether complimentary comments
on the size shape. trimmings and
color of Nine. de Pougy's hat, which
they judged was loud" and quite out
of place in quiet and respectable st.
Germain.
Prince c. thereupon intervened
and demanded from the husbands of
the ladies an apology for their un-
seemly remarks, and was about to
hand his card to one of them when that
gentleman, without further ado, struck
him in the face. The prince and Nine.
de Pougy have taken out summonses
against the ladies and their husbands.

URGES MORE ATTENTION
TO PHYSICAL TRAINING
Prof. ]. H. Francis Defines Duty
of Schools in Developing
Good Citizenship

The gospel of work to develop the
physical mental and moral man and
woman was preached to the City club
yesterday by Prof. ]. II. Francis, prin-
cipal of the Polytechnic High school
His theme was "What the Public
Schools Should DO to Develop Citizen
ship" and he told clearly the prob
lens the schools had to face to perform
this task.
Mr.. Francis finds the modern tendency
of the boys and girls toward too much
luxury with too little inclination to
pay the price OF work.
"The problems of today are not the
greatest problems the nation faces
said Professor Francis. "They are
only the beginning OF greater problems
the rising generation must solve. The
schools and the Fairgrounds are the
practical training grounds of the cltl-
zenshp of tomorrow, and 1t is to this
citizenship that we must look for our
future welfare. There are certain def1-
mite problems the. schools must meet
today If they are to develop good
citizens. They must make good
physical man, a good mental man ana
n good moral man. The physical SIDE
Is one of the most important. If we
could teach our children how to
breathe. how to eat, how to sleep. how
to bathe, how to dress, 80 per cent of
the physical difficulties would be
solved.
"We live In an age of complexity.
We may never go back to the simpler
life of a few years ago, and 1t might
not be desirable II we did. But we are
developing a tendency to shield our
children from the sterner things OF llfe
that we had to meet in the simpler
DAYS, and as a result they are in danger
of becoming incapable of meeting the
conditions of our strenuous existence.
"The woman problem is one of our
greatest difficulties. We have, in the
past. considered that woman did not
need an education or If she did the one
we gave our boys was good enough for
her The economic arrangement of So
clety has resulted i'm distinct division
of labor which we have failed TO
recognize. In the home, in the kitchen,
in the drawing room, in uperintending
the food and clothes of the family,
woman has done as much for the prog
ress of civilization as have the men
who have attacked the great problems
of finance, of engineering, of state.
Woman requires as much training TO
do her work as does man. The prob
lens of the home take just as much
red blood and just as much gray mat
ter as do those men attempt to solve"

MUNICH IS SHOCKED
BY COUNTESS ARREST
Mistaken Identity Advanced by
Society in SWindle Case

BERLIN, April 23.-Social circles at
Munich have been shocked by the
arrest of the Countess Frederick Won
Schonborn- -Buchheim (born Princess
Sophia Cantecuzene) on suspicion OF
completely in swindles perpetrated in
Austria and Switzerland.
Though the countess has been living
in the most modest style. she has had
access 10 the best circles in Munich
society, and II is believed that she may
be a victim of a case of mistaken
identity. The Vienna police send word
that the person wanted is a chorus
girl who, it is thought, may have
made unwarranted use of the coun-
tess name.
The countess husband is member
of the Bohemian branch of the great
Schonborn family, which was founded
In the thirteenth century. The heads
of It were brons, and later counts, Of
the holy Roman empire. The countess
comes of the yet more ancient Rus
sian family of Cantacuzene, which is
of Byzantine origin.
Since her husbands financial affairs
became involved q few years ago the
countess has lived with her mother
the Princess Cantacuzene, at Munich,
where her 10-year-old son, Count Paul,
attends school.

over to the letter box. There were several
missives addressed to him, according to

lot was a tailor bill which he could not

that the envelope was not addressed to

A few minutes later Collier again passed
the letter box. and as he did so he noticed
the member 10 whom the bill was addressed

a visit to the local plant not long ago

his arms folded and his short pipe lit,
putting away like a good fellow,
Mr.. Cudahy said nothing, but kept
on in his little tour of inspection. At
ter completing it he returned the way
he had come and found the old man
still standing in the pose described, his
pipe going like the exhaust of a mo-
tor boat. He was apparently meditat-
ing upon things in general, for he
seemed to take no interest in the pro-
gress of the truck.
