CHINESE COURTESY.
A Native View of the Oriental Brand
of politeness.


of Politeness.
a Chinese. unlike an American, who
would oppose other mems viewpoint
till it ends in an alteration. is always
courteous and answers a question with
Yes, yes, yes, yes" In case he dis
agrees with his opponent he Will say:
Your honor will take more time to
reach better conclusion. Your honor
Is quite right, but perhaps you may
have wiser opinion later on. /, worth
less little brother, think somewhat diff
ferently from you. However. my ig-
norant conclusion may be wrong and
yours right. l beg your excellency to
think over the matter"
But oriental politeness has its bad
aspect 1t takes too much time. If
guest is leaving his hosts door he has
to turn his head and ask Il dozen times
that the host should not accompany
him any farther. The same is true of
tea drinking, and there is a great deal
Of ceremony between host and guest.
SO it is with dinners and every social
gathering. Even in fighting a duel one
will say to the other, pray hit me
first" The other refuses and says,
ooh, no; please you hit me first"
Politeness is especially manifested in
the form of an invitation. Few Chinese
go to an invited dinner on time; in
stead they delay for an hour or so.
Polite in the extreme, although con-
senting to accept the invitation, they
would not go to dinner until pulled and
dragged in a gently rough manner by
their host. Knowing the habit of his
guests, the host always turns out all
the members Of his family to drag one
after another of his invited friends to
the dinner. A youngster is often sent
out by his mother to hunt their guests
like hound, and, finding them, drag
them like mules to his mothers house.
Observing such customs, foreigners
usually laugh, but they laugh mistak-
enly.-H. K. Tong in New York indie

The Brave at Home

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that Well her pain dissen-
bIes.
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tea rdrop hangs and trembles.
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
AS e'er believed the field Of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword.
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And braveIy speaks the cheering word.
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts CT death around him rattle.
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of battlei
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and
brief,
kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as eer the sod
Received on freedoms field of honor.

peafance In Kimonos.
Objections on the part of parents,
who thought the ''kimonO drill Of the
high school girls at the commencement
exercises in Elizabeth, N. J., little
daring, resulted in a rebuke from the
principal of the school, John D. Ed
wards. The drill was the feature of
two part play, The Rainboat XII
mono" given by nine girls of the
senior class. The audience objected
to the appearance Of the girls, who
came out in the first act with pictur-
esque kimOnos. When these were dis
carded for knickerbockers and sailor
waists the Indignation Of the specta-
tors increased.
During the intermission Principal
Edwards spoke to the spectators to
restore order. The principal told them
not to interrupt the performance again,
and If they were displeased or shocked
to leave the building. In speaking of
the trouble Mr.. Edwards said there
was nothing in the lines or costumes
that was offensive. When he told those
who were shocked to leave. he declared,
no one accepted his invitation.

LEGiONS BLIND IN WAR.
European Countries Need Special Pro.
vision After Peace Is Declared.


Injuries Of the brain and OF the eyes
are more frequent and cause more
deaths in the present war in Europe
than was ever the case in any other
war, according to DR.. Lloyd Mills of
Los Angeles, who related his expert
ences in Austria at a meeting Of the
American Medical association.
These injuries are more serious Ow-
ing to the short range at which most
Of the fighting has been carried on
and to the rotary motion Of the bullet
fired from the German rifle, which re-
wolves about thirty-two times a Sec
Ond. Infections are common, espe-
cially following shrapnel wounds.
OF those recovering, the number Of
totally blind, according to DR.. Mills, is
appallingly large, and will need special
provision on the part Of European
countries after the war is over.

By Sec'y Garrison. in his annual re-

the only resort OF the United States
IN providing an adequate defense,
should ci items fail 10 enlist in the

Sec'y Garrison throws down the
gauntlet to former Sec'y Bryan and
other opponents OF military prepar-
edness in this declaration: "If the
nation requires certain service and
offers the most favorable opportu-
nifty for the citizens TO furnish such
service, and. notwithstanding that, it
cannot secure such service. it must
then resort to some method Of com
cling the service"
Conditions 90 BE Favorable
Mr. Garrison makes this plain
statement after discussing the pros
poets OF raising a reserve army Of
100000 men through voluntary en-
listment with respect 10 the an
nual instaHments of $4,000 men for
the continental army" says the sec
rotary Of war. "the question un-

pensatiOn will be provided: and if
the voiitiOn Of the citizen does not
result In the securing of the needed
number. there will be complete
demonstration of the inability of any
volunteer system to produce results"
These declarations on the part of
Sec'y Garrison must inevitably have
the effect OF throwing a bomb into
the camp OF Mr.. Bryan and those
who assert that lack Of military pre-
paredness in itself makes the United
States immune from foreign attack.
Anticipating the antagonism of the

large part of his report to meeting

be advanced against his policies.
