Chinese View of Millinery.

Speaking to Chinese gentleman the
other day an Englishman asked him
IL the Chinese ladies will emulate the
men and go in for western headgear
In reply he beamed a smile most child
like and bland.
Pressed for something more def
mite, he remarked: did you not know
that it is a well-known fact among
the Chinese that the reason so many
European husbands look harassed and
careridden and the further reason why
SO many Of your young men refrain
from marriage is this very question Of
millinery? Ladies' hats cost so much
that they spell ruin and so we Chi
nese have told our women folk that
we absolutely forbid them to follow
western fashions in this regard, what
ever they may do in other directions"

CITY OFFICIAL. PROVED HERO
Sailors Do Well to Honor the Memory
of Thomas Powell, Brave Res
cuer of Seamen.

One of the dramatic incidents OF
the great storm" that devastated
England in 1903 was the rescue OF
200 seamen from the Goodwin sands.
Charles F. Talman, librarian of the
United States weather bureau. de-
scribes it: Several vessels were
stranded here at low tide, and their
men could be plainly seen from Deal,
walking about on the sands or cling
ing to the wreckage, signaling for
assistance before the rising waters
should ingulf them Their appeals
were not heded at first, for the boat
men Of Deal were only concerned with
gathering the booty that the sea had
brought them, and cared nothing for
the lives of the wretched sailors. 1t
was an age in which shipwrecks were
an important source Of revenue to
jewellers on the British coasts. and the
professional wrecker still fiourished.
Only one man was moved to pity
Thomas Powell, mayor of Deal, hum
BILE slop-seller by trade.
Powell first appealed to the custom
house authorities, who refused to send
out their boats upon an errand OF
mercy; then he called a number OF
citizens about him, and by an offer OF
8 shillings a head for all who should
be saved from the wrecks, succeeded
in enlisting a numerous party of res
cuers. He next proceeded to seize
by force the custom house boats as
we'll as several other boats that were
being used in gathering plumber, and
thus equipped he brought ashore as
many of the unfortunate sailors as
possible, though hundreds persisted
before they could be reached.
These he fed and lodged at his owr
charge, as the queens agent for sicl
and wounded seamen declined to dc
anything for them The next day sew
eral died. and were buried-again al
the expense of the magnanimouS
mayor-and the rest he provided witt
the means Of reaching London. Ions
Rfterward he was reimbursed by the
government"
