JOHN ALDEN WAY IN CHINA
Whether That Is a Benefit or Not,
There Is No Doubt of Woman's
Advance.

DR.. Isaac 7. Headland, a resident of
Peking for many years, where he en-
ioyed the friendship of the dowager
empress, throws a new light on the
new women of China. Taking up the
relations between the sexes and espe-
cially the Chinese method of getting
a wife, he repeats a conversation with
a young Chinaman who had recently
become engaged to a Chinese maiden
with whom he had never spoken.
1--WE students have a very great ad-
vantage over the old Chinese method
of finding a wife and getting en-
gagged" said my celestial friend.
What do you mean?" ] inquired.
Well, you see, by the old Chinese
method a man a see his wife
until she is brought to his home. un-
less he can bride the middleman to
allow him to stand on the street cor
ner and see her pass by in a cart"
And what advantage do you have?"
1--WE see the girls in church." he
answered. They also can see us.
We have sisters In the girls school;
they have brothers in the college, ana
when we go home during vacation we
can learn all about each other"
THAT is an advantage"
'In my judment," he continued, I'VE
have a better method than even you
foreigners have
How is that?"
well, you see" he continued, aft
err we have selected the lady we want,
we can have a middleman go and ask
the lady herself"
But" ! objected, I'VE car get so
much better acquainted by our
method"
Yes, that's true" he admitted, but
doesn't it make you awfully angry If
you ask a girl to marry you and she
refuses?"
1t was necessary to admit that there
were advantages in the middleman
method which had never occurred to
me, and while / was not ready to ac-
knowledge that his new-found method
was better than mine | could still see
that the force which brought 1t about
was bringing oma out of her Sc
clusion and placing her on a level
with her brother and her future hus-
band,

Early Used to Hard Blows.

Ever since he was a boy at school
Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood, who
recently celebrated his seventy-second
birthday, has had a tough time, and
often his been called Hard Wood"

Marlborough grammar school, and
then to the college in the same town.

WHEN SICKNESS Is LEAVING
Many Little Ways by Which Return
to Health May Possibly Be
fastened.

Perhaps what convalescence de-
mands - and is most frequently
grudged--is leisure. Severe sickness
leaves languor and WEAKNESS behind,
and satisfactory mending does not
sensibly diminish either the acuteness
or duration of these sensations. There
fore, because there Is much time to
dispose of, a good nurse will be wise
to p%rotract all that Is pleasant. She
need not be hurried, or seem hurried.
as II wanted elsewhere. The patient
likes to feel her thoroughly at COM
mand, brisk to do bidding, but In La
mony with the kind Of lazy well-being
which 1t Is the perfection Of convar
descent nursing to insure.
From the earliest days of getting
well the morning toilet provides ex-
cellent opportunity for happy daw-
ding. Everybody who has gone
through an elementary nursing course
has learned the principle of washing
by degrees, SO that no part runs risk
OF chill. But while adhering t sound
instruction in the main. now, II ever.
is the justification for ali little toilet
luxuries, vanities and extravagances.
The drops of aromatic essence for .
final sponging, sweet-scented soaps
and powders, dainty dentifrice-the
appreciation for all of which, please
note, depends not in the least upon
age or sex. The patient who does
not care a pin how he or she looks
is often on the brink of one of those
fits of depression common to conva-
l~escence which occasionally end in
tragedy. An interest In becoming
dressing gowns, ribbons, hairdressing
or shaving is the best of signs, and
the nurse should be a judicious fiat
terer while wary that the right light
falls on the patients mirror.

was entertained at the home Of the
brides uncle, Charles b. Alexander.
At least a part of the honeymoon will
be spent at Sycamore Hill, the coun-
try home of the Roosevelt family at
Oyster Bay, Long Island. Later in the
summer the young couple will start
for San Francisco, where Mr.. Roose-
welt is to be in charge of the inter-
ests of the carpet manufacturing firm
with which he has been associated
for some time.
The love story Of the young couple
has been a quick-moving romance.
Their engagement was announced only
last winter and the news was cabled
to Colonel Roosevelt, resulting in the
speedy receipt of his approval and
congratulations. The bride, who is
the daughter of Henry Addison Alex
ander of New York, is twenty-one
years old, of a little more than me-
dunn height, slender and of very at
tractive appearance, having an espe-
cially beautiful complexion. She is
as animated as her famous sisterin-
law, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
whose house guest she was for a time
just before Mrs. Longworth sailed for
England to join her father.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., strongly re-
sembles his father in looks, but Is de-
cidediy reserved andHs generally cred

Effusive compliments have been
paid to Governor Marshall many
times, but it remained for an old Irish
woman to cap the climax.
The governor met her at a funeral
which he attended the other day and
she was full of reverence for the Indi-
ana executive.
"Ah," she said, can it's the guv'-

BULL BECOMES A HERO
Bravery Repeatedly Displayed in
Ring Won the Hearts of the
Tickle S~paniards.

The hero of the Spanish bull ring
has not always been the toreador-
there was once a bull who earned the
plaudits of the arena on more than
n occasion by repeatedly clearing
it of his antagonists. C~uriously
enough, however, he neither killed
nor dangerously wounded any man,
but he did put to flight every torea-
dor, ~picador, chulo or banderillero
who dared to enter the arena with
him, and though the crowds came to
see him slain, his conduct proved so
valiant that the people demanded that
his life should be spared.
This bulls name was Lechuzo. He
made his first appearance in the arena
at San Lucar, In Andalusia, some
years ago, and so suddenly cleared
the ring of his enemies that the peo-
pie rose in admiration, and demand
ed his reprieve, for, in spite of his
bravery, he would have been treacher-
ously approached and put to death for
the satisfaction of the multitude had
not the people interviewed. Again, at
Cordova, after the wounds had been
healed which the picadors inflicted
upon him at San Lucar, Lechuzo drove
all his enemies before him, and again
his life was spared at the demand of
the spectators.
So Lechuzo came to be regarded as
invincible, and finally ended his days
in peace at the age of ten years.
Some admirers were DESTROYS of testi-
flying to his prowess by erecting in
his honor a monument at San Lucar,
the scene of his first triumph, but
nothing came of the proposal.
