cHINA's TROUBLES.

Peace seems as unstable in the new Chinese republic as it does iI4 the Balkans. Both from within and with out the present government Is beset with trouble of serious nature. With Russia on the north making serious inroads into Mongolia and Great Bri- tain claiming control In the s,uth, there Is trouble enough of d foreign character without internal dissensions but the Kiangsu and Kwangtung prov inces have seeded and for an Infant
 republic China has plenty of trouble on her hands. More territory is the
 desire of the powers, while the re-
 bellion is against the provisional pres ident, Yuan Shi Kai and a deterlnin na-
 ton not to be governed from Pekin.
 The new republic Is being put to a severe test, and at a critical period in
 it's history. It has hardly had time to get adjusted to it's new form when tais double trouble descends upon them, either one of which is a matter for serious and deliberative action. As to it's sovereignty or suzerainty in Mon- golia and Thibet 1t is inclined to make the very best treaty terms possible. but the revolution threatens not orly the future of the republic, but that of the seeding provinces. There is the lack of unity which either one of the questions need for proper settlement but which the country likewise needs for it's welfare and uplift. China is only beginning the great work which lies ahead and it Is unfortunate that it should be burdered with 1uch afTiic- tions at this time

WATCH YOUR STEPl
Summer Vacations.
ny The Conductor.

Where you goin' this summer? You ain't? Why ain't you? Everybody else is. That's tn only reason I know of. It's tn summer panic. You don't want to let your wife and children think you can't run as fast as tn neighbors.
 T know a fellow that clerks for tn gas company. He's got four kids an $90 a month. Every time hot weather comes you see him weaken. I ask him last week which it was, the sea- shore or the mountains for him. He says: I tell you, Jerry, it's just this way: They're all doin' it, an you got to go if you don't want your kids to feel 'shamed of their daddy an tn old woman stay on the ice wagon for life. I don't mind payin fare to tn country, but I don't see where ths joy comes in. They put up at tn worst joint you ever see. If that summer boardin house was in our block my wife wouldn't speak to anybody that went to it. I got a week off last year an joined 'em. They lived on canned tomatoes an meat that tasted like a fierce. Had roast hen on Sunday. You'd thought it was pickled buzzard. It was too hot to go out any day 1 was there. Mosquitoes worked day an night. My wife broke her ankle fallin' off chair. She was killin' spiders on the ceilin' with her shoe. Had to do it every night. But my folks had to stay. We let on that it's fine. Where you goin' this summer, Jerry?'
 T told him tn company don't hand out vacations to us fellows. If I had to chase off an spend all I got just to prove I didn't stay at home I'm glad I can't Every married man I know has got this vacation bug. Most of 'em ain't afraid of nothin', but they will fall for this summer misery. Some day, when their neighbors go way for the summer. they'll be tickled to death and live cooler. have more fun, and sleep sounder than they do in winter.
 Look out for that other car mister!
 Look where your goinl
 Watch your step!"

NICARAGUA PRoTEcToRArE.

Secretary Bryan in advocating to the foreign relations committee tho advis- ability of making treaty with NicAr- agua such as was advocated by the last administration. and which has the ap- proval of the present administration, includes herewith a suggestion to which Nicaragua is likely to desire time for due consideration. This coun- try has stood ready to befriend the small republics af Central America whenever it could and 1t would be an immense help to Nicaragua through the terms embodied in the treaty whereby the affairs of that country would be placed under the control of the United States much the same as Cuba Is now. Nicaragua has evber- fenced much trouble with it's finances and the making of it a protectorate would be the assuming of additional obligations. while Nicaragua, even though needing help might not be in- clined to regulate it's affairs through the direction of this government.
 Ii is pretentious plan which Sec retary Bryan suggests. It involves the securing of better and more stable conditions not only in that republic, but surrounding the Panama canal 1one- ana oFercomeS me posslD1ltfy or another canal across Central America being outside the control of this c;un- try. Though Cuba never relinquished any rights when this country made 1t a protectorate, if has shown marked progress since being relieved from it's oppression, A like benefit for Near agua would mean the accornplishrn ~nt of it through treaty negotiations in- stead of war, but at the sacrifice os independence.

 The thin lingerie frock demands a broidered with very fine design; those done in eyelet embroidery are the most effective. If you do the tiny flowers and foliage in solid work pad the petals first with darning cotton and cover with fine mercerized cotton. Scallop the edges, using the button hole stitch, and whipstitch the sides together.
 With the one piece frock or tailored costume should be carried a card case of heavy linen, The design is not so fine on these and can be done with white or coiors.
 For instance if you choose a card case of natural coloFed linen, the de- sign can be effectively done in white, brown or dark blue There are a few designs to be worked with the Bull garian colors, and these are extremely effective when done in the brilliant hues on a background of tan linen.

If a cinder gets in. do not keep rubbing and digging to get it out, but with an eye cup and a little boracic acid bathe them until the cin- der is washed away.
