The statement that the Chinama0
has always cherished his pigtail
needs modification, as a correspond
ent reminds us. 1t is not 800 years
old yet as a Chinese institution. Inc
deed. the most remarkable thing about
this honored couture is that it was
originally a humiliation to the Chi
nese. The earlier Chinaman wore his
hair according to taste and fancy, but
usually punched up into a top-knot.
When the conq-,ering Manchus over.
threw the Ming dynasty early in the
seventeenth century they ordered the
Chinese to adopt their own fashion OF
shaver heads and pigtails. This Is
first mentioned at the capture of Lao
yang, about 1913. The Chinese re-
scented the disgrace, and stone tablets
in Japan record that many ned the
country to escape it But the astute
Manchu emperor made the pigtail pop
ular by decreeing that only honorable
men might wear it, and that criminals
should lose it.

LITTLE MISS SMITH ARRIVES
"Popper" Tells All About His First
Evening With the WONDERFUL
New Baby.
Dear Aunt Eleanor:

Dear Aunt Eleanor:
Little Miss Smith (weighc 10
pounds) arrived at the Methodist hos
pital at last evening.
So far as human intelligence can
foresee Margaret and the little one
are both in apple pie order. And,
speaking from a purely unprecedented
viewpoint, she is really the most re-
markable baby, in many respects, you
ever saw.
And, believe me or not, when she
was about half an hour old she looked
up at me and grinned. Margaret says
this is all bosh, but guess I've been
on earth long enough to know when n
lady smiles at me, whether she is
smiling at me or not. And ! like to
believe that she actually recognized
her Pepper" and to take 1t as an
omen that we are destined to become
really chummy.
Hoping that you will drop In on us
soon. 7 remain. sincerely, Eb
p. SIN my haste may have neg
lected to mention the fact that she
weighs 10 pounds, and is really some
thing out of the ordinary.
p. p. S.-Say, do you think those
hospital nurses are the wise gazabos
they are cracked up to be? Last
night when / first saw baby she start
ed In to cry little, and l wanted to
pacify her with some nice chocolates,
and would you believe those buttin.
skys wouldn't let me? I'm going up
TO the hospital tonight with a sack
of butterscotch and you bet I'll md
out whether I'm to have any voice In
| the rearing of my own daughter
| weight ten pounds.
p. p. p. S.-Margaret and \ had
quite a little argument lats night
about baby. She's set on Wellesley
and | am equally prejudiced in favor
of vassar. Present indications, how
ever, point to compromise In favor
| of Wellesley.

Travesty Of the AImshouse.

James Openheim, writing in the
June American Magazine about the
terrible condition OF the almshouses
in the state of New York, says:
What is an almshouse? One would
naturally suppose it TO be the last ref
uge of the old-men and women too
weak TO work, alone in the world,
homeless, friendless, penniless. one
would expect TO find the almshouse
full of gentle old people, near death.
Such people are in the almshouse
They have cre9t there to die. There
they wind up their obscure lives, their
humble destinies. These are the lone
ly and lowly tragedies of our packed
world. But they are not alone With
one another. jotted down the fol-
lowing list from the Oneida county
almshouse register:
"old. Blind, Predetermined Intern
perate, Sick. Cripple, Epileptic, Va
grant, Lame, Pregnant.
"They are mixed In with one an
other. The decent old, whose only
crime is old age and misfortune, are
herded in with unspeaBable creatures.
Imagine sleeping in a dormitory with
babbling idiots, with jerky epileptics,
with hardened, vicious criminals, and
with consumptives. Imagine spending
the day and eating ones meals with
this strange company. Such condi'
lions, to an outsider, are inhuman, in

Just a Natural Development.

The woman aviator is developing in
France We read of her progress
from time TO time with a sense of con-
fidence restored as regards the eter-
nal fitness of things. Where else, in
deed, could she develop, she and her
costume? We wonder how many Of
the Partisan fraternity have begun
working this new sartorial lead. But
why wonder? II there is one thing
the h-Redfern-Paquin combine
have never lacked it is foresight. And,
after all, from barnyard denizens to
the real fowls of the air requires no
very tremendous flight of the imagi-
nation. The transition can be worked
gradually, too. After chanticleer, tur-
KEY buzzard say. would suggest itself.

until the final inevitable bird of para
disc be reached. To go back to the
question of eternal fitness, who can
discover without a thrill of satisfac-
ton that at least one of these, lady
flyers answers in public to the name
of Bird? AS yet statistics do not tell
us how many of the rest may, private
ly, respond to Birdie"

SHIFTING OF THE CAPITAL
List Of Cities Where the Seat OF
Government Of the United States
Has Been Located Is Long.

At dinner given by one OF the
prominent men of the town the other
night the talk turned 20 the recent
visit OF President Taft TO Chicago
and the fact that Il was announced
that during his stay there HIS ho-
tel was TO be regarded as the execu-
tive mansion.
The president beamed complacent-
ly and during a temporary pause
sprung this:
81 wonder If any of the gentlemen
present can state, off hand, in what
city or cities other than Washington
the capital of the United States has
been located"
We'll. now, It seems TO me that I've
heard my grandfather say something
about New York and-and-wasn't IL
Trenton?" came from the benevolent
old gentleman at the right side of the
host.
Several of the dinner guests haz-
arded opinions, the president shaking
his head at each utterance.
Finally the young college man who
had taken little part in the talk of
market reports and real estate trans
actions broke with was becoming an
embarrassing silence:
Wasn't it in Philadelphia from
September 8. IVA, until December,
1776?" he modestly began.
Right you are. young man, right
you are, but Philadelphia isn't the
only town to claim that honor was
the response given paternally.
mo, but it's been some little time
since that came up in our history
class and I'm afraid | have forgotten"
said the young man, deprecatingly.
But here is the list as | remember
it: From Philadelphia 10 Baltimore.
where 1t remained from December 20,
1916, to March, 1777; at Philadelphia
from March 4, 1777, to September,
1777; at Lancaster, Pa, from Sep
TENDER, 1777 to September 20, 1777;
at York, Pa, from September 80,
1777, TO July, 177S: at Philadelphia
from July 2, 1873 to June 80, 1888;
at Princeton, n. j., from July 80, 1888,
TO November 20, 1888; at Annapolis,
Md, from November 26. 1888, to No
vember 80, 1884; at New York from
January IL, to 1870. And think from
there 1t went to Philadelphia, where
1t remained ten years. Anyway, from
Philadelphia the seat OF government
was removed in 1900 TO Washington
where it has been ever since
And there isn't one in a thousand
of our citizens who knows all that,

college education isn't so bad, after
all, eh?"
