Thar Are Mona

During his visit to the United States
General Joffre was hurled through sub
ways, trked into skyscrapers, huns
from New York to Chicago on q fast
train and in general taken care Of
with the breathless assiduity which
characterizes American hospitality.
On the eve Of his departure for Mont
real he was asked by reporter to
state freely and frankly which one a
our national characteristics had most
impressed him during his stay.
"Well, since you put 1t that way"
replied Joffre, II have been chiefly i'm
pressed by your blunt outspokenness
and. IL I may venture to say 30. your
lack Of respect to your superiors."
"Our superiorsw exclaimed the re
porter In blank amazement. "But we
haven't anyw
and. remarked Joffre In telling the
story, "after making acquaintance with
their wonderful country and its still
more wonderful Inhabitants I have
come to the conclusion that what that
reporter said was about right"

CHINESE BECOME MOVIE FANS
Dressed In Her Best Silks and Most
Dazzling Jewels, Oriental Woman
Watches Films All Day.

China has capitulated to the picture
show. So much so, in fact, that CHI
nese women now make attendance
social event, to be observed with a dis
play Of their choicest and most beauti.
full silks and most dazzling Jewels.
Instead Of social functions at home,
with tea and music and that sort Of
thing, Chinese women who would be IN
fashion eat q large breakfast, adorn
themselves like New York society
woman bound for the opera and sally
forth for q day Of watching the films
flicker.
"The motion picture craze in China,"
said Ernest Young, who has been sew
eral years in the Orient, according to
the Seattle Times, "now has reached a
point where the natives are demanding
an all-day show. The way the women
doll up at these exhibitions would
send their fairer sisters Of other coun-
tries into Mysteries"
Mr.. Young said the Chinese motion
picture fans are strong for action In
their film entertainment, and gladly SIT
in a theater all day, providing there
are enough thrills to 60 around. The
more shooting the merrier the show.
The Orientals, according to Mr.. Young,
also are keen for comedy.
"Chinese audiences" Mr.. Young said,
"are very demonstrative and, when the
hero saves the heroine from an awful
death at the hands Of some Desperate
Desmond they give vent to their ap-
proval in rousing cheers and wild ap-
plauae."

frontage Of about 200 feet, stands a
building that Is Of paramount interest
to the people Of practically all the
American republics. Because OF the
contents Of this building Seville Is be-
coming the Mecca Of American histori-
ans. The structure is a veritable treas

ing the colonial period Of all the
Spanish-speak,ng countries Of the
new world as well as a mine Of infor-
nation relative to the early history
of a very large part OF the United
States.
The house Is known as the Casa
Lonja, and the treasures It contains
consist of the general archives Of the
Indies, that wonderful collection OF
unpublished, unedited, and for the
most part even unindexed original doc
uments, reports, letters, etc, which
practically embrace the administration
Of the colonies under the dominion OF
Spain .n all the Americas. The moth

Pantheon and Parthenon.

The Parthenon, or what is left OF 1t,
stands upon the Acropolis Of Athens.
The most famous building on earth
was erected under the administration
Of Pericles about B. G. 442. Its present
ruinous condition was caused by the
explosion of a bomb during the war
between the Venetians and Turks In
1887.
The Pantheon at Rome was built by
Agrippa In B. @. 27 and, unlike the
more beautiful temple at Athens, Is
still in a fair state Of preservation.
The Pantheon is, Of course, well worth
seeing both for its own sake and OH
account Of its historic interest, but
it does not hold the fame belonging
to the Incompatible building OH the
Acropolis.

She Wanted to Know.

Food economists who delight In tell
ing the American people what excellent
dishes they can make out Of odds and
ends usually thrown into the garbage
can remind US Of the London society
woman who went down into the slum
districts teaching the poor folk how to
make nice soups and stews out OF
bones and meat scraps so often thrown
to the dogs. The coster women listened
patiently for long time, but at last
up jumped Sal Grogan-or was 1t Mrs.
Emery L'Awkins?-and said:
"Now, look ere, lidy, hits mighty
nice O. yer to come down ere and tell
us wot ter do with old bones and little
bits O cats meat, but wot wants to
know is wot becomes O. the rest o the
hanimal. Who the ole boy gets that,
and why should theyT-San Francisco
Chronicle.
