Pekin March The fear OF Russian
aggression is increasing here. Reports
published in the Russian newspapers and
reprinted in the pekin papers greatly ex.
aggerate the dangers from the plague.
Many Of the higher class Chinese fear
a campaign designed to alarm Europe
and Justify military occupation. Dis
patches from Harbin say that Russian
military circles are advocating occupa-
ton. The VlGdiYostok newspapers
print warnings OF the danger OF Boxer
uprising, but the Chinese government
emphatieaIly denies the possibility Of
such thing, declaring that the entire
country is under control,

China has officially notified Russia

quarrels. il holds, no doubt, to be an
outrage on decency, and corrupting TO
the morals OF the young. The point,
perhaps, seems too obvious to be inter-
csting. Some instinct demanding pri-
v3ev for these affairs is to be detect
ed even in the most degraded Even
when the quarrel leads to physical vio-
lence IN the street husband and wife
are agreed in considering it a private
matter with which neither the law nor
public opinion has any concern The
ministrations OF neighbors and police
are alike resented.
And why, you ask with indignation,
do these superficial paragraphs concern
themselves with such ugly and sordid
scenes? Purely for edihcation We are
agreed that in the extreme and brutal
case the law and the public may very
well interfere, not only for the protec-
ton of the sufferer, but for the preyeu-
ton OF incidents which are disgusting.
But we do not maintain with sufficient
yehemence that all kinds of matrimonial
auarrels are disgusting TO the sensitive
mind You have probably right 20

no right to call him a fool before any
one else. Not for the sake OF his feel

NERVOUSNESS

This Is-the Tonic Treatment for Ner-
vous Trouble Which Is Meeting
with Such Great Success.

Since most common nervous troubles
are caused by a defect in the blood, 70
cure them at the root the blood detect

something that will act on the blood in
such way that the nerves will benefit.

How % Buy Oriental Rurs.

In selecting rug, We must look care
fully to be sure the design is perfect in
its entirety, and hafmonious,' says Rosa
Belle Holt in Womsn's Home Compan-
ion for March.
'Then in regard to color. The true
artist is born with the color eye. She
knows instinctiyely what colors blend
tremendously. The slightest deviation
from a soft restfuI color to a harsher,
more gsrish tone, fills her with a sort
of indignation and resentment. The old
vegetable dyes were famous, and there
is no reason why they should not be
used nowadays in the dyeing of the
woods for the rugs except for the length
OF time and expense to procure, and
the labor to perfect them. There are,
however. certain firms with factories IN
the orient, which are doing their utmost
to establish vegetable dyeing for their
rugs.
MY advice is TO buy now. before it
