How China 10 Advancing.

The icy woman has appeared in
China. She believes she has an indi-
viduality, a personality, a soul. just as
Individually as has man, contrary to
the teachings of Buddhism and other
native religions. Polygamy she has
not yet conquered-perhaps many of
them have no interest in the perishing
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-
atiOns.
Woman has been the slave or the
toy Of man, her life one c~easeless
round of obedience, first to her father,
then to her husband and finally, If
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.

Why Men Prefer Civil Life.

In both Denmark and Sweden, and
to a lesser degree in Norway, an e~-
odus from the army is taking place.
Officers find it difficult to live on the;g
pay and fewer aspirants are pre- en-.
ing themselves. There is a serious
shortage of noncommissioned officers
and the voluntary cadres prescribed
by law are becoming increasingly diff
cult to find. Labor conditions are so
good for men who want t work, and
pay is so high for manual labor that
the army ceases to present attrac-
TONS.
In Sweden, Of 1851 volunteers
prescribed by law. 6,154 are lacking.
There are soldering jobs provided for
by the last financial budget, with no
volunteers to fill them. One volun-
teer detachment detailed to the Svea
regiment, consisted Of only ten at the
end of October.
The Scandinavian navies, too, are
considerably underoficered and vol
unteers are chary of presenting them
selves when they a make such good
wages elsewhere.

Why Hats Are Like Houses.

Did 1t yer occur to you that head

It is hard to account for some of the
weird hats of the day by this theory,
although perhaps an effort to carry
out the lines Of the skyscraper may be
traced in the beanstalk decorations of
feathers and flowers which tower sky
ward from our hats.
However hard to prove, this is a
theory put forward by an authority on
wOman's dress. To understand its
claim to consideration call>up q pic

How to "Read" Fingers.

At the muscular portion of the
thumb where it joins the hand one
can dectpher Imagination and roman
ticism, in accordance with the height
OF this particular part. People with
mo enlarged joint at this spot are sore
" dependent upon others and cannot
think or act for themselves. This
somewhat corresponds to the side of
the hand where the small finger is
connected, for when placing the palm
downward upon a table the direct
straight line gives way to untidiness
and curiosity. It Is just opposite in
meaning to the curved development,
determining neatness and discretion.

How Hun U-Boats Were Discouraged.
Two German submarines cut the
cable between this country and Eng
land just outside New York harbor
in the spring Of 1913, but the break
was spliced by a small corps of ex-
perts within IL hours.
This fact was made known for the
first time by Col. j. ]. Carly, vice pres
ident of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company, in an address at
a luncheon of the New York Electrical
league.
A cable extending from New York to
South America was cut at the same
time and was repaired as quickly. Ac-
cording to Colonel Carly, Germany
evidently was discouraged by her fail
ure to interrupt communications and
the exploit never was repeated.

How Seal Herds Increase.

Alaskan fur seals just made by DR..
g. Dallas Hanna indicates the
strength of the herd as 524,269 ami
mails Of all ages, as compared with
400, 1872 seals in 1918. The number of
pups born, equivalent to the number
Of breeding cows, was 1912, an in
crease over 1918 of 10 per cent in
each class. The aggregate figures for
1919 do not include the seals taken
for their skins. According to the tele-
graphic reports, 22,O27 fur sealskins
have been taken on st. Paul island
and 1854 on st. George island through
the regular killing season ended Au-
gust 10. A special effort has been
made to- reduce the excess Of large
male seals, with the result that over
6.40O such skins have been taken.

I'm .As You Like It" Shake
speare. speaking. through JAG
Ques, tells Of the 'seven ages
Of man." OF 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 q
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 q
smattering of Latin and algebra
and imagines that the world
owes him q 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
a 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 a soft
snapper If 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.
