RECALLS POPULAR TRAvESTY
Charge Against Former Minister of
Finance REEVES Memories Of 1.-THE
Miseries Of a Chinese Official"

These who recall Francisque Sarcey's
popular travesty upon Chinese corrup-
ton, 1.-THE Miseries Of a Chinese Off
clal," will enjoy reading the proceed
ings In the trial for bribery Of Chen
Chin-tao, former minister Of finance,
and two Of his subordinates. The
investigators appointed by President
Ii Yuan-hung do not appear to be able
to discover whether the late minister
of finance was bribed, whether he
kept money that certain merchants
allege they paid to certain persons for
him or whether 1t went higher up"
The complainant merchants insist that
money passed, but Chen ChIn-tao de-
MES having received any.
In Sarcey's satire graft" was de-
clared to be so universal that Flo Hi,
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. official,
found himself in very hot water when
he undertook to check 1t. The climax
is reached when a contract for battle
ships is given to porcelain factory
The Chinese navy has an engagement
with an enemy (assumably the Japa-
nese, at the time the book was pub
lished), and the first shot from the
attacking cruiser shivers the Chinese
craft to bits. The collapse Of the
formidable-appearlng warship resem-
bled nothing so much as O waiter
dropping tray full of dishes.

ENGLISH HARD FOR SINGERS
Ichlef Difficulty Is That Language, Un-
like German and italian, Is Not
One Of Broad-VoWel Sounds.

When an audience can't tell whether
IA song is being sung in English or
iChoctaw, 1t is time something was
done about 1t. and something Is going
Ito be done, 1t appears. by a group of
Ewell-known singing teachers and per-
formers known as the Society Of Eng
bish Singers to Standardize the Teach
ing Of Singing In English.
Francis Toye, who tackles the prob
lem In the London Nation, points out
the source Of the real difficulty, and
tells why songs sung in English are
often unintelligible:
"That there are difficulties In sing
ing certain English syllables on certain
notes may be admitted" says Mr..
,Toye. English, unlike German and
Italian. is not predominantly Ian
guage of broad-vowel sounds. 1t is
comparatively awkward, for instance
to sing fix or her or sun with a
loud, sustained tone on a high note
But If composers knew their business
they would not, save In very excep-
tional circumstances, ask the singer to
do anything Of the kind.
Half the imaginary difficulties Of
singing English arise from the incom-
petence Of many composers in setting
1t to music. They seem neither to
think In terms Of singing nor to study
the natural rhythm of the language"

FACE ONCE WAS EXPRESSIVE
In Modern Times, Says Writer, Gen.
erai Aim Seems to Be to Conceal
Emotion Of Every Kind.

We are accustomed to the idea that
our facial expressions are keys to the
lives we lead, and that one who I'M
derstands human nature may easily
read human faces. That this is true
to large degree is unQuestloned, for
I'VE have only to look about us to Judge
for ourselves Of the happiness or un-
happen to come In contact. Indeed,
in the ages long since past, before
even spoken language permitted the
freer Interpretation of mans emo
tons, the human countenance was
the chief means of expressing, says
One by one the great thoughts of the
human race have been reproduced as
far as possible in the eyes and gen.
eral expression Of the face, now flash
ing out with startling significance,
now shining with tranquil assurance,
now displaying ugly lines and charac-
teristics. AS civilization advanced,
however, and the means of human
intercourse broadeaed and developed
the need for translating the inner
needs and energies into facial express
sion lessened, until, unfortunately, 1t
is often difficult to read correctly the
message Of the countenance.
Where In former days the natural
effort of all human beings, uncon-
scious though 1t may have been,
seemed to be to reveal their wishes
openly upon their faces the general
aim now is to conceal emotion of ev.
cry kind.

MEANING OF $7,0Oo,0oo,ooo
Spent at Rate Of a Dollar Minute, 1t
Would Take 1888 Years to Dis
pose of II All.

Americas war loan of $7000,000,000
surpasses the powers Of the mind to
grasp, Thomas F. Logan writes in Les
lies. Spent at the rate Of 81 a minute
1t would take 1898 years to dispose of
the appropriation. Loaned out at 6 per
cent, $13 could be spent every second
for an indefinite period without touch
ing the principal.
Converted into silver dollars, the
coined pieces laid end to end would
reach more than four times around the
earth at the equator. Piled on top of
one another these silver dollars would
extend nearly 600 miles in the air.
Made into dollar bills, they would
cover 26,6S6 acres.
The interest on the loan is greater
than the entire running expenses of
the government less than half a CEN
fury ago, while the amount itself would
conduct the affairs of the government
for fully seven years, on the basis of
the annual expenditures Of the last
decade.
Another and more cheerful way of
looking at the situation is that, great
as the loan is, the wealth of the United
States is such that it amounts to the
lending out of 81 out of every $40 of
our existing tangible resources. A
penny day saved by every inhabitant
would cancel the principal within 20
years,

"THE WOMAN YOU ARE TO BE"
It All Depends, Says Writer, Upon
What You Put Into Your Head
as Days Of GirIhood Pass.

There comes a time in a girls life
when she passes from childhood into
the land Of dreams and flowers, and
the question that now arises has to
do with the woman that she will be for
the rest Of her life. Is she going to
furnish the nice, clean recesses of her
brain with things that really count or
is she going to toss an indiscriminate
mass Of jumbled nonsense into her
heart?
She has 1t within herself to make
her brain a power to teach 1t to rea.
son, to cram it with intelligence, and
to force herself as a personality to re-
lspOnd, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
There is still another thing that she
may choose to do-she may decide to
leave it entirely empty. In that case,
which is the saddest Of all, her eyes
will count for nothing, even though
they be beautiful, for they will be ex-
pressionless; her lips that, closed, are
$50 perfect in contour, when opened
will frame those tawdry nothings so
pitlfully evident Of the empty brain
behind them. Old age will have moth
ing Of interest in its wake, for the
wrinkles and lines that speak for
character will be absent, and the face,
pleasing In youth because of its fresh
beauty, in old age will become moth
ing but hideous mask.
Think well what you will put into
your head, for you will purchase from
Life itself at a high price.

Collie Drives Motorcar.

Gear-shifting, Of course, is outside
the limits Of possibility for him, but
except for this operation, big col
lie, owned by q Poughkeepsle IN. "
automobile dealer, is able to drive a
motorcar. Everybody along "auto
row" in New York city was completely
dumfounded not long ago when the dog
acted as chauffeur for his master says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. While
weaving In and out through Broad.
ways traffic, however, the owner had
an auxiliary control at hand to help
the animal out In tight places and
avoid the danger of mlshap. But on
ordinary occasions, when congested
streets do not have to be negotiated,
the collie drives along like man, turn
ing corners and avoiding other vehicles
with surprising facility. On such rides
his master sits beside him, or in the
tonneau behind. On track, where the
chance of accident is eliminated, the
dog drives alone with nobody in the
car to help him. No special device Is
fixed to the steering wheel to assist
him.

SAYS RULER is TRIcKSTER
Speaker Tells Story of Ingenious Hog
Rattle to Express His Opinion Of
King Of Greece.

"Klng Constantine is a trickster, and
the allies will accomplish nothing in
Greece till they kick him off the
throne"
The speaker was Cosmos Morcavo-
ratio, the archeologlst. He continued:
"King Constantine is a trickster and
he always gets away with it. He's as
bad as the two sharpers.
1.-TWO sharpers, getting stranded In
a country town, decided to gouge the
populace by means Of a hog rattle.
They got up a poster that said:
"'To be ratified, fine Berkshire hog.
Tickets, Is cents
1.-THE rattle went well. The two
sharpers made lot Of money-$150, In
fact. Then came the day when the
result was to be announced.
'The sharpers read over their list
of victims and selected the man they
thought most gullable and meek. To
him they wrote:
"Dear Sir: We are happy to in
form you that the rattle Of the magnlfl-
cent hog was held last evening, and
you were the fortunate winner. We
hold the animal at your disposal, and
shall be pleased to forward same on re-
ceipt of your authorization to do so.
We beg to congratulate you on the &C.
QUESTION of this truly magnificent pedl-
greed hog
'But the winner had hardly received
this letter, the first. thrill of delight
had hardly warmed his breast, before
he got another mlssive:
"'Slr: We regret to inform you
that your magnificent hog died very
suddenly last night at 8 80 o'clock. We
do not know the exact cause Of death,
but would impute same to the hog
cholera now epidemic in this district.
Owing to the existing sanitary regula-
TOMS, the animal had to be buried with
out delay. We shall be glad to receive
your check for $12 by return, being

ment expenses incurred

Constantine's, but, like the allies, the
duped man was afraid to investigate,

The fuel famine In France has d.
rected attention to extensive peat Dogs,
heretofore despised, which may aid as
much to solve the problem as the llg-
mite deposits of the center of France,
provided the question of labor is
solved.
The "Grande-Bruyere," near st. Ma.
zaire, and the region of Culoz, accord
Ing to expert estimates, hold S0,000,000
tons Of dried peat, affordlng an aver
age Of 1000 calorles pound, or about
half the heating power of coal. Con-
sidering the greater facility of produc-
ton, 1t is figured that one workman

Rising Curve of Human Energy.

AS matter Of health, 1t will be much
better to begin the day earlier and end
it earlier. Humanity has a definite
cycle of physiological changes that take
place during the twenty-four hours. In
the early morning, temperature, pulse
and respiration are lowest, but begin
to rise. They reach a maximum in the
early evening hours, between four and
six, and then begin to descend again.
1t is on the rising curve of human
energy that the days work ought to
be done. Rest should be as far as pos.
sible during the hours when the cycle
Of energy is on the descent. The pro-
posed scheme for daylight saving
would bring us back to be more in &C.
cord with the human physiological
cycle in the twenty-four hours than is
true at present.

Value Of Dairy Cow.

r. NJ. Washburn, in the LippIncott
Farm Manual, Productive Dairying,"
predicts that in a short time the United
States will be largely devoted to dairy
products, instead of beef production.
For he tells us the food value produced
by May Rilma, the Guernsey COW.
equaled in one year that of 80 steers
weighing 500 pounds apiece. 1t would
take, he assures us, eight acres of
good wheat land to produce an equal
food value to the years production of
Duchess Skylark Ormsby, and this Is
coming to be typical Of the value of
the dairy COW. Now the COW does this
by working over hay, corn, ensilage,
and various rough or by-product
grains.

Nltro-starch New Explosive.

by dissolving starch nitric acid in
a manner similar to the use of cotton
