YUAN's NOTABLE CAREER

Yuan Sh1h Kai favored granting the
court generous pensions and according
special honor to the dowager empress
because her husband, the late Kwang-
su, was the first reformer among mod
ern emperors Of China.
Yuan Shih Kai has had an eventful
career. Last year he was placed in
supreme command Of the military on
erations Of the imperial troops. On
Jan. 2, 1909, he had been dismissed
and ordered to vacate all his Offices.
This was following the death Of the
late empress dowager, in whose time
he was vastly powerful. His dismissal
was said to have been due to his be-
ing an obstacle to the reapportion-
ment Of imperial patronage and power
for the benefit Of the prince regents
family and that Of the new empress
dowager.
Yuan Shih Kai's consent to return
to Office came after refusal Of several
government overtures. The most Inn
portant effort to get him back occur
red in 1910, when the government APP
pointed Tang Shao III president Of a
board in Picking 40 concilIatory
measure and sent him to ask Yuan to
join In arranging railway and curren-
cy loans and pacification sof the oppo-
nents Of the governments policy Of

How well these plans, most of
which owe their origin to the fertile
brain OF DR.. Sun Vat Sen, have sue
ceeded is shown by the recent nropos-
al to establish the republican form of
government for the Celestial Kingdom,
with Yuan Shin Kai president, Sun
Vat Sen vice president, Tang Shao
VI premier and Ii Yuen Heng minis
ter of war. With Yuan Shih kai, an
educated Chinaman, in Sun Vat SENS
own class and Sun Vat Sen himself
at the head of affairs, instead of the
tyrannical rule of the Manchus, the
future would seem to hold out hope
that the dreams of a new China
which Sun Vat Sen brought with him
to the United States will be fulfilled.
The republican leaders will allow
the infant Pu VI to retain the title of
Manchu emperor, but not emperor of
China.

crediting the beef account with the
value of the hides, amounting to about
$3.50 an ANIMAL was discontinued be-
tween November, 1907, and April, 1908.

credit for hides was resumed. Morris

RE- DISCOVERIES.
Seem to Be Brought Forth as New
Inventions.

Every now and then ii is diseov-
cred that some extremely modern
invention is in reality exceedingly
old. For example, the safety pin,
far from being a novelty, or even of
recent origin, is decidedly ancient-a
fact made certain by the finding Of a
great many such pins, fashioned ex-
actly like those of today, in old Ro-
man and Etruscan tornbs, dating back
to a period a good deal earlier than
the birth of Christ
The safety pin was an article of
common use intItaly long before the
Roman empire attained the height of
Its glory. Some of them were exactly
like those of today, utilizing the ia
milar principle of coiled spring and
catch; but the material of which they
were made seems always to have been
bronze. They took on development.
however, far more remarkable than
our modern safety pins. many Of them
being quite large affairs ten inches
or so in length and hollow, as If de-
signed to be attached to the gown in
front and possibly to contain flowers.
Not infrequently they We're orna-
mented with gems.
Another ancient invention was the
collar stud. 1t is true that the an
cient Romans did not use buttons to
| fasten their garments, but for this
very reason safety pins We're more
urgently required and the latter
seems to have been supplemented by
studs of bronze. which were in shape
exactly like those of today. or course,
people in those days wore no collars,
| but the little contrivance in question
was utilized in other ways. Probab-
| ly-and, indeed, the assumption is not
q rash one--it had in that early epoch
the same habit as now Of rolling under
a piece of furniture on slight provoca-
| ton, for the purpose of eluding OBJ
