Soaring the Conscience.

OF all her curious customs London
cannot boast of a more singular one
that that formerly so strictly adhered
to at Holland House, one Of the most
historic old mansions in the British
capital. The last Of the Lords Holland
shot himself during a fit of despond-
ency. Everything pointed to a clear
case Of self murder, yet the Holland
family could never be dissuaded from
the notion that the old man had been
murdered by some unknown assassin.
Accordingly every night for years it
was the custom for one Of the family
to go to the rear Of the house punctu-
ally at II o'clock and fire gun for the
purpose, it is said, of soaring the con-
science Of the murderer. This curl
GUS practice is relic Of medieval
days in continental Europe, and the
case in point is probably the only in
stance where it has been noticed since
the days Of the crusades.
When Men Powdered Their Faces.
The use Of powders for the hair and
face, which began in the sixteenth cen
fury, infected the rden. Henry III. had
the habit Of parading the streets Of
Paris, his face covered with white and
red paste, like faded coquette, and
his hair filed with violet powder and
scented with musk. Powders were
made of all colors, and the infatuation
was such that servant girls were afraid
to be seen in public with their hair of
the natural color and, not being able to
buy that used by their employers, en-
ployed sawdust as a substitute.-Lon-

every other nation. Western stand
ards cannot be adopted as criteria
when China and the Chinese are being
considered.
1T is a trite remark to say that it is
the unexpected that always happens
This is very true of China. Almos,
four years ago the world was agree
ably surprised to witness a revolution
in this country which was practically
bloodless. Not only was the reyolu-
ton bloodless, but the republic was
created by imperial decree. This
event is unique in the history of the
world. Never before was such a rad
ical change in form of government
carried out under the blessing and
good will of that displaced. Fur
theremore the world has since been
surprised to see that a stable admins
tration has been established in a land
where chaos and anarchy prevailed
And another surprise is presented III
the spectacle of China no longer de-
pendent upon foreign countries for
financial assistance in it's administra-
ton. Therefore, in view of these I'M
expected happenings, who should be
unprepared for other events of a sur
prising nature. To talk of hereditary
titles in a republic seems paradoxical
that is, from western, point of view
But China is land of topsy-turyydom
also from the western point of view
So, keeping this aspect before us, the
proposition may not seem so very
strange after all, although its wisdom.

Dixie Highway Officials
Make Known Objects
Of Their Visiting

The Dixie Highway Tour, composed
of the officials and body of promir-
ent business men of the middle west
will pass through Americas, Octobe:
10th.
This highway is becoming famous all
over America, and every city and
county along it's route has and will
receive much benefit and advertising
from it.
The following objects are set out in
communication from the officials.
The object of this tour is to disclose
to the Dixie highway commissioners
the Highway in its present condition
that they may see what is being done
as we'll as what is most needed to DO
done.
That they may personally meet the
people along the Highway and inspire
them with a measure of the great pub
lie spiritedness which has impelle.;
them to so strongly and conscientious
ly support the proposition.
That the people along the Highway
may be brought to greater realiza
ton of it's national character.
To present the Importance of a
permanent hard surfaced highway
connecting the north and the south.
To present to the people along the
Highway an object lesson as to the
immense amount of travel which may
be expected when the road is in proper
condition.
To tell the people personally, of the
immense number of inquiries receiv-
ed from those wishing to make trips
over the road.

This is the question which is asked
very generally throughout China, es-

The thinking public and the foreign
press are having some difficulty IA

fact of a rather jocular, character.

which will be conferred if the new
plan is carried out 1t has the approx

to act on the measure, but, like most
other measures fathered by the Presi
