FEAR YELLOW MEN.
Trouble Threatened Similar to
Boxer War.
WARSHIPS ARE IN READINESS.
Not So Much Opposition to Chris
tianity as Foreigners in General
National Spirit Growing.

Washington.-China is declared to
be on the verge Of another upheaval,
similar to the Boxer uprising and the
lives Of foreigners are in jeopardy.
Advices received here recently from
government officials in China express
The belief that an outbreak at any
time would not surprise them. The
State Department has instructed its
diplomatic and consular officials to
maintain a close watch ON the internal
conditions.
All through the summer months
there have been mutterihgs of discon-
tent in some Of the Chinese pro-
%vinces, due to'the rice famine, dynas-
tic difficulties and dissatisfaction
over acts Of the Pekin government as
to foreign investments in China. Good
harvests mitigated to some extent the
gravity of the situation, but there is
still a general feeling of unrest &C
cording to personal letters received
here from men on duty in that quar-
ter. The army and the navy are pre-
pared for any emergency, but their
readiness is solely a precautionary
measure, it is said, and should not be
taken as an indication Of immediate
danger.
Authentic advices from those
charged with keeping in touch with
conditions indicate that the only thing
lacking to parallel the situation with
that preceding the Boxer troubles
which drew into China the American
forces as WELL as those of other ma
tons, is the matter Of organization
and that it only needs a leader to
effect that. -
Every vessel in the Asiatic fleet, as
we'll as the military forces at Manila
is prepared for almost instant action
in the event the trouble breaks.
Revolutionary uprisings are OF
greater or less frequency throughout
China and it is recognized by Wash,
ington authorities that trouble is Ii
able to occur at any time in some OF
the provinces. 49,
Boston.-No reports of unrest in
China have been received recently al
the headquarters here of the Amer:
a board of commissioners for for
eign missions.
The unrest in China in the beliei
of the American board officials IS the
result of a newly awakened nationa
feeling among the Chinese people
The slogan Of an ever increasing ele'
ment, "China for the Chinese ha:
been heard throughout the empire
and the anti-foreign feeling is moi
directed against the missionaries az
Christians, but rather because they
are foreigners.
The American boards mission sta;
tons in China are divided amons
three districts, Foo Chow, Soutl
China and North China.

JeifersOnian Banquet

About seventy persons were present
at the banquet held in the Colonial
hotel cafe last Friday night in honor
of Thomas jefferson, diplomat and the
third president of the United States. A
very enjoyable evening was had and
Manager Toppin spread a good meal.
Not a single speaker from off the island
put in an appearance, but Toastmaster
Curtis It. Baker was equal TO the occa-
sion as usual, as were also his speakers,
and the house of Baker, Wheaton,
Bright and Young saved the island
from a social humiliation. To them is
due a debt of gratitude, as perhaps every
diner present realizes, for none of them
expected to be called upon. Toastmas-
ter Baker introduced his uncle, j.
Thompson Baker, a private citizen, as
the first speaker, and his speech was
al usual, highly instructive, entertain
ing and eloquent. Mayor Wheaton,
the blacksmith orator of Anglesea, was
the second speaker and the remark
vas made that he acquitted himself
molly. Ex-Sherif Bright was as elo-
quent as usual and John w. Young's
remarks are always interesting. Most
of the diners appeared in full dress.

Points of Cats Worth knowing.

The day is past when everything
that purs or news is considered a cat
worth having.
With the ever increasing cult of the
cat owners are becoming more partic-
ular about good points, and considera-
BILE study is expended by fanciers on
the necessary qualifications.
Such qualifications, of course, vary
with the breed. In long haired cats
the ruff is the first thing to be consid-
cred. The tufts of hair between the
toes, the ear tufts and the fiexibility of
the tail come next. says Home Chat.
With the short haired cats the color
is of great Importance. and so are the
eyes, ears and the shape of the head.
White cats should have blue eyes,
black cats yellow eyes and those of
other colors green eyes.
Here are some of the good points to
be taken into consideration when buy
ing a cat:
Head.-Great breadth between the
eyes.
Eyes.-Round and wide open.
Nose.-Short and tapered.
F~rame.-Light, deep chested.
Legs.-Straight.
Ears.-Small and rounded.
Neck.-Thin and graceful.
Tail.-Bent at the end in long haired
cats.

HINT FOR BUSINESS GIRLS.
A Time Where . Little Barney Helpl
Wonderfully.

One may prefer the blunt truth to
the fine falsehood and say the most
annihilating things about people who
throw bouquets and compliments with
about an ounce of sincerity in them,
but nee in awhile the %blarneyer is
something of a comfort.
To the timid little newcomer in the
Office who is afraid to get her bearings
a little blarney from the nearest neigh
Dor will help to smooth or the wrin-
kles of misadjustment anu help her
weather the cold drafts of dissatisfac-
ton and those hailstorms of criticism
that are apt to blow through every Of
fee and give you the ague of discour-
agement.
1t is easy to tell the p~erfunctory sort
Of blarney from the kind that has a
bit of sympathy in it, and the older
the girl who will humor the new girl
In the office and seek to diminish the
thorns of initiation deserves and gen.
orally has a host of friends, NJ matter
if her enthusiasm does verge ON gush
sometimes.
A shy little girl from the country
with more energy than confidence was
hired on two days probation as typist
in a real estate office. The head ste
nographer was to break her in during
the absence of the chief. The timid
one was "all nerves. the first day. By
the time she had written and destroy
ed her second letter her every express
sion showed that she was afraid she
didn't belong and couldn't make good.
Luckily, however, that third letter
came off the machine without an err
ror, and then the head ~stenographer,
to whom hlarney came as natural as
breathing, just sang its PROJECTIONS for
about five minutes, ever extending her
ecstasies to the timid ones beautiful
penmanship.
This effectively restored the timid
ones confidence, and with a sudden
access of hope and determination she
steered safely through the shoals OF
the first weeks probation.
To the stranger in the strange place

bundle of nerves in a trying position, q
little blarney is often the oil that
moves things easily along.

To Tighten Maids Work Through
Summer

Tt has often been said that ironing
is tedious work, and trying. But it
may be made less so by trying a few
simple expedients.
One of these is a floor cushion. Make
a fat pad of excelsior, three inches
thick, and big enough to stand upon
comfortably.
Another is the knee-board-three feet
long, thin and light--which may be
held on the lap, thus making it posi-
BILE to sit while ironing small things,
as collars. handkerchiefs, doilies, etc.
A third, for table linen, is the roller.
Get a big cardboard mailing tube as
long as folded tablecloth is wide,
and fasten a narrow ribbon inside, so
a yard hangs out at the end.
Then instead of folding the ironed
cloth, roll it around the tube and tie
down the end with ribbon. cross the
strings, pass them around the roll and
tie on the other side, so keeping the
cloth smooth and compact.

In these days when guimpe dresses
are worn and guimpes are both ex-
pensive to buy and rather troublesome
to make, one can save time and money
by utilizing old thin shirt waists.
Yokes and lower portions of the

these can be cut away and new ma

may be lace, net, lingerie or any pre-
