1t has been my good fortune to spend
many interesting years In China and to
meet socially the most representative
Chinese women Of the day. In every
case where a company Of women has
come to visit my wife and in every
home we have visited has been at least
one and sometimes more than one Chi
nese woman who could read and cipher
fluently, writes DR.. Isaac Taylor Head
land in McCalps.
1t is significant that several newspa-
pers edited by Chinese women with
women as contributors have lately
been started Mrs. Chang, the widow
of a Chinese official, has edited the
Picking Woman's Paper, devoted en-
tirely to women's interests, the suf-
frage movement in England being a
favorite topic. This woman was train
ed and educated by her father as If she
had been a boy, and she thus obtained
a power Of observing the conditions OF
women's lives which would have been
impossible for any ordinary Chinese
woman. 1t has been stated that in Pc
king there are nine journals edited,
composed, printed and sold by women.
Canton produces four, Shanghai six
and Fuchau three.
The government has laid down rules
regarding the management of native
papers. Publishers, printers and edi'
tors in China must be twenty-one years
of age sound of brain and have never
been in prison. They must also depos
it security to the amount Of $T5 pei
paper unless it is devoted to education
art or statistics, and copy Of each is
sue must be sent to the local magis-
trate and to the board Of civil affairs

Horses, coIors and Prices.

The color of horse has consid-
cradle effect on the price of carriage
horses in America, at least in the east
ern states. Horse dealers say that
since the introduction of motors this
color prejudice has become more mark
ed Brown is said to be the fayorite
color, though it is run hard by bay,
and chestnut is not far behind. Black
horses are very unpopular. They are
too much associated with funerals. OF
course the prejudice against black does
not affect horses bred for business pur-
poses. Last of all in the public esti-
nation come the horses which gradu-
ate in color from dapple gray to milk
white The whittier the horse the more
difficult it is to sell. The reason CIV
en- is that the hairs of white horses
when they are shed show up on clothes
and on the cloth upholstery Of car
riages. 1t is more likely to be explain
ed by tradition or superstition.-Man-
chester Guardian.

pouring warm rays upon us, thawing
our hearts, for John had wounded me
and we had quarreled, and we could
almost see the buds expand, so rapidly
were they opening. The thrushes were
singing over the meadows, and myr-

long winter, were chirping merrlly.
There's never such a sweet time as
after making up difference. and John
chose it to tell me that he loved me.

often to see father and sat with him,
talking about the price of land and the

things as l did not understand or care

me, but 1 was thinking of John, who

first baseman. They pointed to at
least twenty games which Delahanty
lost while playing the initial sack.
However, the Tigers pitching staff

Nothing need be said about Mack's

NATIONAL LEAGUE
In the National league the two new
managers are Hank O'Day, in Gin
cinnati, and Johnny King in Boston.
Neither has much chance for the pen
nant, although Hank seems to have
the brighter prospects. In many ways
the Reds are good team, but there
seems to have been lack of winning
spirit In the past, due largely to the
peculiar conditions which exist in Gin
| cinnati. Boston may develop, but hard
| ly fast enough to be pennant factor
during 1912
1t Is the managers who Will start
their third or fourth campaigns in the
senior baseball organizations who are
expected to make the big fight. Bres-
nahan. in st. Louis, is beginning his
fourth season with good prospects.
Dahlen of Brooklyn is a third year
leader who may make some trouble
Charley Doom is the man who it is
believed will be the successful man
ager in his third trial for the flag. The
Phillies, with superb pitching staff
and splendid fielding and batting
team, are looked upon as the genuine

New York looks best Of the three
teams with veteran managers. Nc
Graw drove his bunch through the
1911 season to victory, even though he
did not have what the majority Of the
| experts considered the best club in
the National league. Even his worst
enemies admire McGraw's managerial
ability, and the Giants will always be
dangerous in the senior league cam

many veterans, who are bound to 90
back sooner or later. Take Wagner.
Leach and Clarke away from the Pr
rates and there Is not pennant strength
left. Clarke has announced his deter
mination to quit active playing, but
few think him serious. Suppose the
Cubs were to lose Tinker and Sheck-
ard. with Brown and other veteran
pitchers. The three veterans named
cannot go on forever.
However, we must admit that Clarke
and Chance are managers who are pos
sessed Of baseball wisdom and can
scarcely be eliminated from the limit
Of possibilities during 1912, even If the
veterans do go back.
