How China Is Advancing.

The new woman has appeared in
China. She believes she has an indi-
viduality, personality, a soul. just as
Individually as has man, contrary to
the teachings of Buddhism and other
native religions. Polygamy she has
not yet onquered-perhaps many Of
them have no interest in the perishlng
of that old custom-but those who
have embraced Christianity are fight
ing against that evil among the many
others which have fettered and bound
the women of China for untold gener-
atoms.
Woman has been the slave or the
toy Of man, her life one ceaseless
round of obedience, first to her father,
then to her husband and finally, II
widowed, to her son. The first leaven
that worked among the old slaveries
Of women in China was put there by
the early Christian missionaries. That
leaven has worked until now the dough,
so to speak, of the new womanhOod Is
overlooking the bowls of tradition and
oppression.

MANY FAIRIES IN GREEN ISLE
Idea That the Gnomes Have Dis.
appeared Is Declared to Be
Altogether Erroneous.

There still are fairies in Ireland, de-
clares the Ulster Folklore, which ex-
plains by saying: To many, perhaps,
this statement will be really news. OF
course, anyone who has never taken
any interest In the matter at all knows
that in the days gone by there were
plenty of them from one end of the
green isle to the other-are not their
old haunts, the thorn bushes, their
raths, forts, coves and souterraines
still to be found in every, corner of
Ireland just as they have existed
since time out of mind?
But 1t has been the general belief
that the fairies themselves long ago,
In one fashion or another, had for
saken or been driven from their Sc
cret places, the last hegira being
placed at as modern period as the
middle of the nineteenth century-the
night Of the big wind, in fact when
they were all supposed to have been
blown into the sea with the exception
of few that landed in Scotland.
The error Of that belief, however,
has been scientifically ascertained In
series of investigations pursued by
Miss Elizabeth Andrews, f. r. A. l.,
for decade or so.
"The belief is general" Miss An
drews says. chat these little people
were at one time very numerous
throughout the country, but have now
disappeared from many of their for
mer haunts. At Ballynahinch 1 was
told they had been blown away so
years ago by great storm, and the
caretaker at Killevy said they had
gone to Scotland. They are, however,
supposed still to inhabit the more re-
mote parts Of the country, and the old
people have. many stories of fairy Wis
itors and Of what happened In their
own youth and in the time Of their
fathers and grandfathers."

HOW DESIRE FOR soft
O " SNAP" MAY INJURE

MAN IN BEGINNING LIFE.
In "As You Like It." Shake
speare. speaking through JAG
Ques. tells Of the "seven ages
Of man." or course, says the
Ohio State Journal, the category
is complete and truthful, but
we think that more modern
times have suggested an eighth
age. that might be inserted be-
tween the whining schoolbOy
and the soldier. bearded like a
pard. and that is the age of
the Soft Snap" when the whole
of the life is to get as much as
possible for nothing. A boy gen
orally reaches that stage when
he is just out of school, with
smattering of Latin and algebra
and imagines that the world
owes him living, and all he has
to do Is to pick 1t off when the
world swings around his way.
Nothing will do him but a soft
snap, an easy job, with big pay
and infinite leisure for society,
with motor rides and dressing
for dinner. There are many such
young men, or rather boys, just
stepping on the stage of life, to
whom the soft snap seems to be
the blossom Of their years. They
spend the beauty and strength
Of their lives trying to get hold
Of 1t. How many a noble youth
Is utterly spoiled by waiting for
soft snap; and the longer they
wait, the less fitted they are for
any kind of real business. They
are today the chief apostles of
the high cost Of living and are
looked upon as such by the peo-
pie. No person can be soft
snappersif he possesses any real
pride. He will take the first work
that comes to hand and depend
upon his merit and worth for
his promotion and success. And
now to the sweet ,damsels, let
us say a word-steer clear of
the snappers, until they show
some disposition to work out
their own salvation.
