' v " ; : ; ' The Ftminine Haad li Daeoratad With ' a Stiff Cushion That Demand Con tant Vtntilation to Ba Btarabla. Vogue of the Ear Ticklar. Even though I came to China know ing tbat they did things backward, thero are. some customs here that I just enn't get used to. One Is seeing womeu wearing trousers. There are more' women wearing trousers in Chi na than there are people In the United States men, women und children. I suppose there Is no reason why things shouldn't be thus, but it will always seem to me tbat tho pauts ure on the wrong side of the house. . Tho women look like clothespins. Their bodies are tbo same size all the way dwn, aud their feet aro so tiny that they go bobbing along for all the world like Jointed clothespins. Tho women sbave tbelr foreheads, with the timber line almost at tho top of their heads, so that the little patch of face below looks us if It were trem bling under threat of au Impending suowsllde. Their hair Is pulled and keyed back as though for musical purposes. , At the .back of the head a Chinese wo man wears a cushion of false; hair, so dressed as to show her rank, so that a person skilled lu tho'langiiugc of tho balr can read her history, can tell her present plans and ber future ambi tious. A person up ou balr can tell at a glance whether or not alio Is mar vied; If so, how many children she has, and If a widow, If she. Is willing to open correspondence with a desirable party of about forty-flvo object, mat rimony. ' 'In this cushion a . Chinese woman carries h'or head scratchrr. Her hair dressing Is a preparation made of slip pery elm. - Tho person needing It can run out to tho corner and wait until tho carpenter takes a plane and shaves off a few curls. This the Chinese lady steeps Into a thick,, gummy smear, pou.j It on her head and uses it to stiffen her hair. This layer makes tbo top of her bead hot, so that every odd moment when she hasn't anything else to do she gets down under the mess and lets In some air with a darning needle, tier favor ite time for doing this is at tho theater. When the performance begins to drag she gets out her darning needle and improves tho shining hour by making a rift In the roof as she looks around over ' the audience, lightly gossiping about who aro there, what they are wearing and how awful tlioi" look. Men in China wear 'skirts. Their skirts are iu a garment that reaches from their shoulders to their shins and looks like a nightgown worn by a Cape Cod deacon. It bns a tasty slit up each side, so that on muddy crossings the twinkle of masculine ankles may bo seen. When they wunt to catch a car they have to gather up their skirts in the good old fashioned feminine way. Under their skirts they wear a pair of drawers fastened at the ankles with n bandage, with the ends tucked In. When a Cbinamatt has an Important letter or note to carry he unties the log of his drawers, stuffs It in and puts the lmiHlfi go bnck. The bandage works loose, so that when ho reaches his des tination the note is. usually gone. The only pockets a Chinaman has are in his shirt waist, which ho wears tin der bis skirt, so that when he wants to get a dime be has to unbutton one side and slip in a hand. . Even though a Chinaman wears skirts he has not yet learned about the First National' bank. The Chinese are a great nation to think of the handy little things things that no other people in tho world could possibly think of. You can run out on to the street almost any time and buy an ear tickler. Men make a living going around selling them. An ear tickler is a little puff of cotton on the end of a stick and is meant to combine both business and pleasure the busi ness of cleaning the ear and the pleas ure of the tickling sensation.' His is not an elisy life, for tbe ped dler has to be constantly on tho watch against tricky people who come up, sample hl3 ticklers, give their ears a couple of good tingles, tell the man that they don't like his brand of tick' ler and go on their way. The peddler's ingenuity has devel oped a way of polishing up tho tickler so that tbe next posslblo purchaser may not know that tbe tickler has been weighed and found wanting by carry ing along a little bfVl of white pow der. After a tickler has been snmplcd and declined he dabs the end Into the l of-: it t,, ' r ght and fresh looking o 't .

Doctor Pell. Tha reason why I cannot tctl. It Is none tho less effective. Hore in Amorica especially when we like poetry we llko it none too good. The "old favorites" are almost all plat itudinous in thought and monotonous In rbytbin. We prefer sentiment and bave a wenkuess for slush. Pathos seems to us better than tragedy, anec dote tbau wit Longfellow was and Is except lu metropolitan centers our fa vorite "classical" poet. Tbe truth is that many of the Intelli gent hi our population skip poetry in their readiug Just because it 1b poetry. They read no poetry or they read bad poetry occasionally or tlicy read good poetry badly. Henry Seldel Canby In Uarper's Magazine. OUR ' BUFFALO NICKELS. Thay Carry a True Portrait of tha American Indian, The Indian betid nud buffalo nickels were first put in circulation. Feb. 22, 1013, at the ceremonies Inaugurating the memorial to the North American Indian at Fort Wadsworth, when tho new coin was produced by Dr. George F. Kunz. Tho first one was given to President Taft, and others were dis tributed among tho Indian chiefs pres ent. The design' was prepared for tho treasury department by James Earle Frnzcr, who was one of Augustus St Gaudeiis' asslstunts at Cornish. N. II., mid who did the St Guudens medal for the rhu-Amerlean exposition, the statue of Jefferson for the St Louis world's fair and tho Roosevelt bust for the senate chnmber at Washington. Tho Indluu bond, which is In prolllo, showing the head feathers, coarse, half braided hair and thin, seamed face. Is presented as a "true portrait" of the In dian type rather than a romantic ideal ization. ' Gardner Tenll, defending the new coin against criticism that greeted its first appearance, called it the presenta tion of "a real Indian, commemorating In a fitting way the noble red man. The buffalo," . he added, "stands In many ways as an equally noble symbol In our history's progress." New York Times. Conditions Reverted. One of tho finest examples of "paw ky" humor Is placed to the credit of an old gardener who was In tbe serv ice of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Alex ander Milne. The admiral was a grand old man, full of goodness and kindness, but a strict disciplinarian. The garden er having omitted to do something which he bad been told to do, bis mas ter said to him: "When I was on board ship I would bave had you put in irons for disobe dience." Tho old gardener wns not much per turbed at tbe Idea, but, leaning on his spade, replied: "Aye, maybe, Sir Alexander, but when ye were on board ship ye bad a hundcr men tne dae no Job, an' noo ye I hnn na mnn rnn rinA n hnnder lobs." , London Tit-Bits. v ' ... '-Emotionally SonHe. I know no more dismal spectacle than a man talking shop on a moonlit bill In August, a woman gossiping by the rail of a steamer plunging through tho sapphire of the gulf stream or a couple perusing advertisments through out a Beethovon symphony. I will not advance as typical a drummer I once saw read a cheap magazine from cover to cover in tho finest stretch of tbo Ca nadian uockles. tie wns not a man. but a sample fed, word emitting ma- chine. These people, emotionally speak ing, are senile. They should not try to read poetry. Henry Seldel Canby In Harper's Magazine. Tha Total Sum. The three children came and stood In a row in front of their mother. "Mamma," they said, "what would you llko for your birthday?" The mother looked down benignly upon the group and nnswered: "My dears, mamma wants nothing for her birthday, nothing but threo good children. She'd like that" "But then, mamma," cried the eldest, then we'd be six." New York Post Had an AnaweiS "She looked killing."
