Anthony Hopes serial, "Mrs. Maxon Protests" is continued.
 woMAN's HOME COMPANION.
 The April number of Noman's Home Companion is brimful, pressed down and overfiowing with the spirit of Easter. It is a riot of joyousness, of frilly Easter frocks, of new spring hats, Of gardens, music, verse and entertain. ing flcti0B. But underneath the spark le and lightness of the surface at fractions of this magazine lies the splendid bed rock of all it's helpful de partments and strong special articles.
 The fiction in the April Woman,s Home Companion includes the second part Of "The Flight of the Magic Car pet, charming story of love, adven. ture and motor car by c. N. and A. M. Williamson; Mrs. Benson,s BraIns" by Anne Warner, a homely iltile tale of mother who thought she had very little "brainsn but proved the contrary; other contributors are Mary Heaton Worse, Maude Radford warren, Grace NJ.

Grent Men Tall and Short.

A recent investigator has attempted to show that Lombroso and his follow CTS were wrong in asserting that men of genius were of small stature. Of 230 individuals of eminence he found that figures were obtainabie for 103; of these sixteen were of middle height, fifty eight above and twenty nine be- low.
 Americans particularly combined greatness with inches. Jefferson and Jackson were more than six fee, tall Sumner was six feet four inches, and Washington. Lincoln and Beecher were more than six feet. Among famous foreigners Tolstoy was a large man, and so were Thackerny, Bismarck and Darwin.
 On the contrary. many of the worlds greatest geniuses were undersiZed and even deformed Napoleon. Poe Pope. Alexander the Great, Nelson. Blake and Caesar were small men.

A Few Table Rules.

A woman who gives much atteD3 to diet and lives up to the best ida in this line has the following rBs neatly framed in conspicuous plaz1 in her dining room where the famf may be impressed with them:
 First.-Five or ten minutes befsS beginning to eat meal drink gla9A of cold water. This will leave stomach before the food reaches and will carry with it any mulN which has accumulated since last a ing. thus leaving the walls of the stdaS ach clear and ready to be aetiTated the newly arrived food.
 Second.-Never take a second cup Y coffee You will no, care for sesa if you moisten your food suaiciegN with saliva Take dinner codee ways with dessert or after rather tnA before, as it thus aids digestion
 Third.-Never wash your food d0VNI with liquids. but masticate each moul ful well and it will be suficiel moist and will promote the flow gastric juices. thereby preparing z stomach still further for its work
 Fourth Never eat until too ins By little attention to the matter ~ will learn when to stop and thus a'' the consequences of overeating.
 mouthful too much Is apt to cause arrangement of the digestive sySs This may seen like putting 1t fa1 strong. but you know that even teaspoonful too much will cause to overflow. and the same appne the closely packed organs Of tDe {: man body. where disarranged eaS huids will produce illness.

After vain effort to resist the de- mands of Russias construction of the treaty of 1881, China yields submis- sively rather than endure the horrors of war, for which it is totally unpre- pared. China sees the need of hav- ing the benefits of Western civilization not only in the government admins tration but in the education and eleva- tion of its people. It's parliament will be fostered to aid in the uplifting as in all civilized governments. It will keep in remembrance the humiliations to which it has been subjected.
 Think oft. Last year the gold mines of this nation yielded S96 ,O00 900, and the silver 2S,000,0o0. Both together lacked l considerable margin to main tain the navy and pay for our new war ships.

The Arbitration Ire ty with England.

The pending treaty with Great Bri- tain is apparently assured of ratifica- ton by exclamation in both countries, and of being at once extended to Hol land, France Denmark and Japan, and other countries. This will give it an overwhelming influence in favor of the substitution of reason for militar. ism-a momentous achievement. a,
 It lis well, however, to remember that, great as will be the progress in civilization after the ratifying of such momentous treaty, it is only the first step, but will render other steps ob- vious and easy.
 In England there is a more wide. spread interest in the pending Arbitra- tion Treaty than in this country, par ticularly among the religious classes. President Taft is highly commended, especially among the more educated classes for devising and submitting the treaty to the English nation.
