DIR. Mary Stone, a Chinese girl
whose family dates back more than
1000 years, is the first woman named
in her family tree. The pedigree is
contained in IL large volumes, and
gives the history of the family for
more than 1000 years. Other women
daughters and wives-are desig-
mated by numbers. DR.. Stone was
reared by missionaries, and chose to
become a physician.
Curious customs still prevail with
regard to marriage. In some parts
of Uganda the custom is to offer six
needles and a pack of india rubber
for a wife. Some of the Kaffirs sac
rifice oxen. Then Tartars of Turkes-
tan give the weights of the prospec-
tive wife in butter. In Kamchatka
the price varies from one to ten rein
deer; some savages require a GER
tain amount of labor. Among the
oborigines it is said the current rate
for a wife is a box of matches,
which prompted a Paris contempor-
airy to speculate whether one of the
French government boxes would be
accepted.
Fascinating are boxes which are
found in the shops just now. Cover
ed with paper or cretonne in holi-
day design, these boxes will do duty
not only for holding the Christmas
gift, but for handkerchiefs. gloves,

Speaking of passepartout, this is
most useful in the kitchen for label

clans wife, has learned the value
of adhesive plaster for labels. II

CHARM OF ATTRACTIVE ARMS.

CHARM OF ATTRACTIVE ARMS.
One of the rare attractions a wom-
an can possess is a well nodded, white
and tapering arm. Its charm is so
great, its magnetism so insistent, that
one wonders why more women do
not strive to obtain it, particularly in
this day of sleeveless gowns.
Yet how often one is shocked by
the sight OF red, feshy arms, OF
scrawny, muscular ones. Women
seem to have no shame about their
ugliness and display them with the
utmost indifference, with only wisI
of tulle, or a strap of metal lace fol-
coverings.
The girl who wishes to possess at
tractive arms can do much to improve
them, but she should be very careful
about how she INDUCES in physical
culture exercise, or else she will cul
tivate an upper arm that is a mass OF
prominently defined muscles.
On the other hand, the thick, fieshy
arm between shoulder and elbow is
equally repulsive. 1t coarsens ones
appearance successfully, for it has a
way of developing as one leaves the
bounds of youth.
There are a few facts that should
be remembered by her who intends
to give a careful study to the i'm.
provement of the arms. To try to i'm.
prove a thin forearm by exercise is
only to render it more bony and mus.
cular. 1t should literally be fed with
oil and cream. This also will have an
excellent effect upon rough and dis
colored elbows. 1t is astonishing how
many girls possess elbows that are a
disgrace.
One of the best means for develop
ing attractive arms is to battle them
night and morning with cold water
This stimulates circulation and the
amount of rubbing with a coarsetowel
to get them dry renders them deli
cately plump.
1t seems hardly worth while to eau
tion the modern girl with her twenty
eight-inch waist against the i'll effects
of tight stays upon the arms. LacinG
is certain to make them red, and
nothing can so quickly discount a
girls charm.
Try each morning and night to do
some gentle and proper exercise for
the arms, but nothing too strenuous.
Battle them In cold water and at
night rub with cream and oil, and
soon they viii develop into the lovely
things that arms were Intended 10 be-

Dainty Desserts

Dainty desserts that are quickly
made and do not take too many ex-

Ginger Apples.

The mother, poor, overworked,
barassed, as she is, knows that the
better education her daughter has,
the better living she will be able to
earn, the more life will yield her
in it's every phase. And for this end,
she is willing to sacrifice herself for
her daughters futTEa\
And she is quite right. In these
days of keen competition and over
crowded ranks of workers, the bet
ter education, the better mental train
ing, the broader outlook on life, a
worker has, the more he will earn,
the more quickly he will forge ahead.
Native ability is much, but native
ability coupled with a good education
il more And this today, workers by
the thousands have. The girl or boy
without the education must fall to
the rear. At any rate, they have a
heavy handicap.
Yet on the other hand, it is quite
right that this girl should help her
parents, since their circumstances

A letter from a girl brings a prob
lem which many a young girl and
young boy finds exceedingly difficult
to solve. Many, too, particularly at
this season, are facing it.
The girl writes that she is 10 years
old and still in the primary grade at
school because sickness has inter
fered with her studies. Her parents
are poor, earning scarcely enough to
keep the home together She feels
she ought to help, but her mother is
anxious that she go on with her stud
les. She wants to know what is the
right thing to do, quit school and
go to earning a living and so help her
parents, or continue her studies?
The mother is right in desiring
more education for her daughter.
The daughter, too, is right in desir-
ing to help her parents, now that she
is no longer a child. Both, though
seemingly looking at the question
from exactly opposite sides, are
right.

SECRETARY WOOD COMMENDS

The following report of an inter-
view with H. P. Wood appears in the
Sunday Oregonian of October 1:
Extensive government work at Ho-
nolulu is making the Island of Oahu
veritably the Gibraltar of the Pacific
Ocean, according to H. p. Wood, sec

LODORER'S FIREMEN
Want THEIR WAGES

really samples of their daily ration, 1t
would appear that their complaint on
this score is not without merit. The
hardtack shown is full of maggots and
has evidently been with the ship
long time. The bread has the consist
ency of dough, and rather poor dough
at that.
The firemen's quarters do not much
resemble a lady's boudoir, but on that
account they enter no complaint.
They also say that they have been
assessed a multitude of fines; that
every time they turn around they are
fined six bobs, and they don't know
what for. One of the firemen quotes
the captain as saying:
81 don't like no Germans. I hate
Germans. l make your money so short
that you don't get ha'penny left"
With this in view, they allege, the
captain is levying the fines, so that
they may eat up the wages that are
coming to them.
Those on the steamer outside of the
firemen's quarters seem to be well sat
isfied with their lot The carpenter
was specially emphatic in stating that
he didn't want to be on better ship;
that he had been on the Lodorer for
two years and a half now, and was
willing to stay with her another two
years and a half The boatswain was
not quite so enthusiastic relative to
the merits of the steamer. Though
he made no complaint, he said he

The firemen of the British steam
ship Lodorer that arrived in port yes
terday with coal from Newcastle,
paid their respects this morning TO
the police authorities, by them We're
referred to United States Attorney
Breckons, and then wended their way
to the shipping commissioner Their
calls were not at all of a social ma
ture, but were made in an endeavor
to find someone who would aid them
in getting clear from what they term
that devil ship, the Lodorer.'
The fremen on the Lodorer are six
in number and are motley outfit
recruited in various parts of the
world from many nationalities. One
or two of them are Germans, one is
an Egyptian, another is a Maltese,
and the remainder are unfathomable.
Two or. three were shanghaied in
New York, one Joined at Buenos
Ayres, and the others were picked up
in Japan and Australia,
They say that eight men should be
employed to do the work required Cf
the six firemen on the Lodorer, and
that they have been Obliged to WORK
much harder than they should. They
also assert that many of them whe"
i'll have been dragged from their
hunks and forced to work when they
were barely able to stand on their
feet.
Another complaint is made about
the quality of food that they are re-
quired to eat. If the hardtacll and
bread exhibited to the Star man are
