ENGLISH IS COMMON TONGUE.
Chinese Girls Learn It to Talk to One
Another

Chinese women students In the Tung
Flu College, Picking, China, are obliged
to learn English In order to talk with
one another because of the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces of China, who attend the
school, must remain in Picking during
all of the eight years required for
their high school and college train
ing, because to return each summer
would require six weeks for the trip
one way and would cost more than a
trip to America and return.
Girls from each of the western
provinces speak different language
and they cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from. northern, southern, eastern or
central provinces Hence, they have
adopted English as a common tongue.

Tn hts book. 'sThe End Of the Chap
ter" Mr.. Shaw Leslie tells the follow
ing story:
a'My grandfather witnessed an ehec-
tive piece of play in the house of com
mons during duel between Disraeil
and Gladstone. During a heatedfiign
of oratory Gladstone upset some pens
on the table between them. Dtsraell
rose, and, after calling attention TO
the fact, slowly replaced them one by
one. The effect of Gladstone's speech
was lost by the time Dlsraeli had I'm
ished."
Speaking of Dickens and Thackeray,
Mr.. Leslie says:
.My grandmother recalled the ludi-
crous incident which brought them to-
gether. AS they both left the Athe-
naeum, unknown to each other they
seized the same hat. The effect was
Iudicrous enough to appeal even to
professional humorists. and they shook

INFLUENCE IN JAPANESE ART
Bird Motive Present In Every crea-
tIon, With Its Exquisite Form,
Color and Motion.

Perhaps no nation so closely lives
to the ideal Of that bird lover w. II.
Hudson, In SO far as its feathered citi-
zens are concerned, as the japanese.
In the art of the island kingdom the
bird influence is almost supreme. Not
alone in pictures which are bird mo-
tives, but throughout their art, to
whatever realm 1t goes, these motives
are present, even when they do not
dominate. The dip and recovery, the
stately flight, the aiighting, every mo-
ton of the beautiful airy creatures
has inspired In japanese art its exqui-
site flowing line. In decorative art
the form, color and motion Of birds
contribute even more.
: Japan abounds in bird life, of inter
est to the people as to the artists.
while to sportsmen it is a delectable
country. The empire stretches its
length of islands north and south, and
the forests give shelter to many vari-
cites of four-footed wild beasts, In
Guiding big game. which attract sports
men from all over the world. but the
bird world is the most various and
attractive.-New York Sun and Her

SLIPS BY FAMOUS AUTHORS
Humorous to Record, but Detract Lit
tie From the Stories as
They Are Read.

The British minister of education
points out some mistakes that he has
come across in books. One OF them
runs through "Iyanhoe," where the
Normans and Sax0ns are represented
as two distinct races. The fact Is that
at the time with which the story deals
marriage, between the two races had
gone so far that Norman could hardly
be told from Saxon; but Sir Walter
Scott did not realize this until the story
was set up in type, and so the famous
novel appears with this blunder right
through ii. Another mistake was made
by Mrs. Humphrey Ward. who In one
of her books made two people take
chairs In Kensington gardens In the
first week in October, though all chairs
nre removed from the gardens on Sep
TENDER 80. Charles Kingsley makes
John "Brumblecome" recite a prayer
from the prayer book long before the
time the prayer was put in: the poet
Pope makes a weasel eat corn. which
weasel never does; and likewise In
"Don ouixote" the merry Cervantes
makes one of his parties at a tavern
eat two suppers in one night. The life
of n novelist is full of trouble, but such
little things do not seem. to matter
greatly. We would rather have the
stories with all their mistakes than
have the dull facts without the stories.

Peculiar Mud ceysers.

The mud geysers of the Salton sea.
California, came into existence recent
ly, and cover little more than two
acres. They are so-called mud volca-
noes and are various-sized caldrons of
hot mud
Some Of them first appear as small
springs and others develop with loud
explosions which tear holes in the
earth from four to ten feet wide and
to a depth of ten TO twelve feet.
Salton sea Is about 265 feet below
the level of the sea, and until few
years ago was dry. From 1904 to 1906
water was diverted into the basin by
the Irrigation canal from the Colorado
river, and IL became lake.
Since the stopping of the flow of
water into the lake it has been rapidly
sinking. and the mud geysers have re-
appeared in the same vicinity in which
they existed before the lakes forma-
ton.
The geysers are supposed to be an
accompaniment of earthquakes.--Kan

Indications Are That People Are Be-

1t is possible for man to grow fat
gracefully. At least he can subdue his

his golf and spend most OF his time In
ponderous poses. His tailor can easily
arrange his clothing into well known
and accepted lines.
The case of the woman is different.
Fashion binds her as with a chain.
There are no stylish frocks for stout
women. The fashion calls for slim hg-
ures and trim ankles. Waists and hips
are taboo. There are no sleeves capa-
BILE OF concealing overfeshed arms.
Man can adapt his clothes to his fig-
ure, but woman must adapt her figure
to the clothes or else shamelessly adj
NIT that she cannot wear what Is
fashionable.
1t was not always so. In another

YIELDS TO MARCH OF TIME
Old Hotel In Quincy. Mass., Associates
with Famous Men, Is to Become
n Business Block.

The old Hancock house. situated in
City square. Quincy. has ceased 10 be q
hotel. The present owner or the prop
erty. Henry NJ. Faxon, Is to have the
upper part removed and the first floor
converted into large business block.
The hotel has only provided sleeping
quarters for a number of years.
In the days OF the old stage coach
the Hancock house was one of the
leading hotels OF southeastern Massa-
chusetts and the first place TO which
travellers resorted for refreshments.
Among the distinguished men who
have been entertained there was Dan

The present structure was built In
1887, but several years ago the ground
floor was remodeled into stores and
only the upper part was used as the
hotel proper. When Adams academy
was in its prime the place was used as
a boarding house for students who
came to Quincy from other cities and

CHINESE TURNING TO SPORTS
Necessity for Physical Culture 10 Be.
ginning to Be Recognized In the
New Republic.

Physical culture and all types OF
athletics were, until very recently,
held In contempt by the Chinese. and
consequently the Shanghai boys did
not know what the JOY of INDUCING In
baseball and other sports meant, says
Boys' Life. Ages ago chariot driving,
archery and the other classic sports
played an important part in Chinese
education. With the, dawning of
China's literary golden age. however,
the scholars could not see how mental
perfection could be attained II there
was any thought Of athletic prowess.
Muscles and Drawn. they said, be-
longed to the peasant, and the gentle
ilan of culture should show his good
breeding by a scholarly pallor, stopped
shoulders and a general unhealthy APP
pearance.
This attitude toward physical devel-
opmant persisted for centuries, and II
has been only within the last few de-
cades that interest has been youch-
snfed in sports. With the introduce
ton OF new educational methods and
the entrance of occidental theories
into the orient. athletics once more
came into their own and the Chinese
student tucked up his cue and his
dignity and went in for pole wanting
and hurdling.
China has now the idea that a ma
tion's economic progress depends large
IL on the healthy bodies and minds
Of fits citizens. and missionaries find
little difficulty in winning subscrlp-
tions for athletic fields for the schools.
