IS SHREWD BUSINESS WOMAN
Mrs. Frank Hing of New York Has
Been Successful in Accumulat.
ing American Dollars.
Waiting on customers with an Ori-
ental charm and politeness that daily
wins new patrons to her laundry ia
Bleeker street, Mrs. Frank Hing,
daughter of the Flowery Kingdom, is
rapidly accumulating American dol-
lars that are estimated already to
reach into the thousands.
Mrs. Hing, who is a fine specimen of
the Chinese matron of middie age, is a
militant suffragist of the most pro-
nounced type. She is an advocate of
“yotes for women,” and points with
pride to the action of the new Chi-
nese assembly in granting suffrage to
her sisters in China.
The first Chinese business woman
In New York city, and probably in this
country. came to the United States
only two years ago, quickly acquired a
speaking knowledge of the English
language, and by reason of her fine
aptitude for business was speedily el
evated by her husband to take full
charge of the laundry.
Mrs. Hing receives the laundry pack-
ages, gives out the checks, receives
the money, pays the bills, and her hus-
band stands over the washtub and
tooks the meals in a rear room, as-
tisted by an 18-year-old son.
Soon after Mrs. Hing assumed
charge of the business she began to
buy and sell second-hand clothing.
All day long, and even into the late
hours of the night, men who are in
trouble financially can be seen enter-
ing the laundry to part with wearing
apparel in order to raise money to eat
and to pay for a night's lodging.
Many of these come from the large
men’s hotel across the street. In all
such transactions Mrs. Hing takes ad-
vantage of their plight with Chinese
cunning and gets for a trifling cost
garments that are renovated and aft-
erward sold at a big profit.—New York
Herald.
Flight Would Not Be Hopeless.
Thomas B. Reed did not “think im-
'perially,” to use Mr. Chamberlain's
sonorous phrase, and it was danger
ous to wax eloquent in his presence
‘lover American expansion.
Once, when were in the thick of
our troubles in the Philippines, Mr.
‘Reed, Mr. Choate and Mr. G. W. Smal
ley were guests at Ellerslie, Governor
Morton's place on the Hudson. The
|situation was debated at length and
‘with great freedom.
“Mr. Choate,” writes Mr. Smalley
in “Anglo-American Memories,” “gave
us in a forcible and forensic way—
and no man could state a case better
—the reasons for keeping the Philip
pines and reducing the ‘rebellious’
‘Filipinos to order.
“We all listened. No one interrupt:
ed the flow of Mr. Choate’s argument.
Mr. Reed, who, as is well known, had
opposed the acquisition of the islands,
did not venture a word. At the end,
Mr. Choate, urging that surrender
was impossible, asked:
“‘What do you suppose the Fill:
pinos would do if we withdrew the
American troops?
“Well, drawled Mr. Reed, ‘I don't
suppose they would pursue us farther
than San Francisco.’
" “That ended the discussion,” con
cludes Mr. Smalley.—Youth’s Com
panion.
Finesse.
Senator Cummins, discussing a cam-
paign victory, said with a smile:
“It was won by finesse. The finesse
displayed in it reminds me of a Con-
cord banquet.
“‘Why is it that you fellows are
omitting wine from your banquet this
year?” one Concord man asked anoth-
er.
“‘So as to make sure of the pres-
ence of the Al after dinner speakers
of the country,’ was the reply. ‘We
have invited them, and they won't
dare to stay away.’
“‘Why not?
“‘For the reason that if they did
people would say it was because there
‘was no wine, you know.’”
Flies in New Houses Explained.
. “Moving into an apartment that had
never before been occupied,” said a
flat-dweller, “we were struck unpleas-
antly by the number of flies we found
there and for their presence we were
quite unable to account.
“It was some relief to us to be told
‘by a friend that there are always lots
of flies in new houses; that they are
‘drawn by the paste used in the paper-
ing, and while the work is going they
have free ingress; and then when the
‘house is finished it is likely to be
closed up and the flies left there to
be found when the first tenant moves
in"
Pronounced Check.
Woggley had been found guilty, and
‘sentenced to pay a fine of $50.
“Oh, well,” he sald, “of course I'll
‘have to pay, because I am in a great
‘hurry to get on, but I haven't $50 in
my pocket. Will you take my check?”
. “Sure,” said the justice.
Woggley drew his check, and at
once proceeded to crank up his ma-
chine.
“Hyar, mister,” cried the justice,
“they hain't no need o’ your doin’ that,
I'd ought to have told ye we'll hev to
hold that there car ez s’curity till the
check goes through.”—Harper's Week-
ly.

: WOMAN BREEDS ESKIMO DOGS
| Seems Queer Occupation, but She
i Has Made a Remarkable Suc-
cess of the Work.
At Grove Park, one of the suburbs
. of London, Mrs. Scott conducts a very
| interesting dog farm. Her specialty
is Eskimo dogs, which she breeds and |
| trains for the market. The market is
| not very large, but it is sufficient to
| make it worth her while to raise and
| train the best possible Eskimo dogs.
| It is not the food market, nor the or
dinary dog market. It is the market
! for Eskimo dogs which are trained for
| Arctic exploration.
i If you decide to make a journey to
| one of the poles, you know that Eski-
| mo dogs are absolutely essential.
You can get good Eskimo dogs in
Greenland, or in Alaska. But the
good dogs in Greenland may not be
exported except by special permission
of the Danish government; and the
good dogs in Alaska are not so good.
One trouble with ordinary Eskimo
| dogs is that they have no breeding
and no discipline. They will obey the
master with whom they have been
brought up, but when they start after
fish or other game, even their master
can control them only by the exercise
of brute force. For the purposes of
your exploration you need dogs that
will obey orders given by a white
man, dogs that are broken to the har
ness and are not afraid of work, dogs
that have learned team work.
It is this kind of dog that Mrs.
Scott raises for the market. Her ken-
nels have only pure blocded animals
of carefully selected stock, and from
earliest puppyhood she trains them in
how to eat and how to work. When
she gets through with an Eskimo dog
the animal is not nearly so ferocious
as one that just “growed up” in the
surroundings of an Eskimo village.
They adapt themselves quickly to new
masters, and they have acquired good
eating manners, so that they are not
so likely to attack the cupboard or
fresh game.
Mrs. Scott feeds her animals no
meat except pemmican and dried fish
brought from Norway; a large part
of the diet is a specially prepared
biscuit. She has supplied trained
dogs for a number of Arctic and Ant-
jione expeditions.—Scientific Amer-
can.
SEEM TO HAVE LONG LIVES
Politicians, in England, at Least, Find
It One of the Healthiest of
Professions.
Politics would appear to be among
the healthy professions, judging by the
number of members of both houses of
parliament who have passed the age
of three score and ten. The lords,
whose legislative duties are less stren-
uous, have, however, a larger number
of veterans in their ranks than the
commons, as there are 23 peers who
have reached eighty and over, while
only 19 members of the lower house
have seen their seventieth birthday.
The oldest peer is the earl of
Wemyss, who is ninety-four years old,
Lord Strathcona and the duke of
Grafton following with ninety-two and
ninety-one years respectively, to their
credit. Mr. Samuel Young, who is
ninety, in spite of his name, is the
doyen of the commons, Mr. Thomas
Burt, the “father” of the house, being
only seventy-five, and junior in regard
to age to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, Mr,
Jesse Collings, Sir Henry Kimber, Mr.
Robert Cameron, Sir John Baker and
Sir Thomas Roe.—London Globe.
Le Petit Caporal.
Las Cases, the blographer of Na-
poleon Ronaparte, thus describes the
origin of the title Le Petit Caporal:
A singular custom was established in
the army of Italy, in consequence of
the youth of the commander, or from
some other cause.
After each battle the oldest soldiers
used to hold a council and confer a
new rank on their young general, who,
when he made his appearance in the
camp, was received by the veterans
ard saluted by his new title.
They made him a corporal at Lodi
and a sergeant at Castiglione; and
hence the surname of “Petit Caporal,”
which was for a long time applied to
Napoleon by the soldiers.
How subtle is the chain which
unites the most trivial circumstance to
the most important events! Perhaps
this very nickname contributed to his
miraculous success on his return in
1815. While he was haranguing the
first battalion, which he found it nec-
essary to address, a voice from the
ranks exclaimed, “Vive notre petit
caporal! We will never fight against
him!”
Hand Mirror of Brass.
Now only Egypt's first ladies ever
indulged in the I tury of a hand mir-
ror. True, they v ere not made of the
heavy plate glass that is used in those
in present use.
Before this mirror became oxidized
it was in a highly polished state, and
brass, when polished, can reflect a
face to all intents and purposes as well
as glass. The body is round, or as
round as it could be made with an
Egyptian hammer, and the handle has
the same graceful curves of those of
today.
French Machine to Moisten Stamps.
French postoffices will in future be
provided, officially, with stamp moist-
éning appliances, an innovation which
is hailed by the press as a hygienic
reform. As
“the action (of stamp licking) was not
only dangerous, but entirely devoid of
elegance.”

{= IDEA SEIZES ENGLAND
| League to Prevent Domestic Breezes
From Developing Into Gales Is
Latest Fad Taken Up.
| A National League for the Promo
| tion of Domestic Rappiness is the lat
| est ‘proposal for England. It has for
its promoters a few clergymen who
have been impressad by the extraordi-
nary number of ccuples in their par
ishes who have obtained separation
orders from the magistrates because
of domestic strife.
The idea of tke clerics is that
magistrates are toe accommodating to
applicants chafing under the matri-
monial harness and if efforts were
made to subdue domestic breezes
they would mostly be prevented from
developing into gales. So this league
is to organize ministers of all denom-
{nations and kind Christians of both
sexes to act as peacemakers.
They will take their respective par
ishes under survey and in cases of
household strife where the husband
is at fault the member of the league
most likely to infiuence him will be
selected to intervene and subsequent-
ly keep an eye on the culprit. If the
wife is the offender then some sym-
pathetic woman will plead with her.
Most enthusiastic workers among
ihe poor, especially in the north, call
these separation orders the “working
elass equivalent to divorce,’ the lat-
ter being too expensive for them to
obtain.
The consequence is they have no
real freedom, and looseness of morals
is the result. In industrial centers,
where both husband and wife are
wage earners, this is especially the
case. Lancashire alone has 25,000
people separated by law, but not free
to remarry.
SAYS OYSTERS SUFFER AGONY
Dr. Wiley Asserts They Endure Ago-
nizing Pain When Doused With
Tabasco Sauce.
“Oysters on the half shell suffer un.
lold agony when eaten,” said Dr. Har-
vey Wiley, formerly Uncle Sam's pure
food expert, the other night, according
to a New York Herald Washington
correspondent. “Ninety per cent. of
them when eaten are alive and kick-
Ing. They suffer the most excruclat-
ing pains when you jab them with a
fork and follow with a sprinkling of
salt, pepper and tabasco sauce.
“It is true that they are a very low
order of life, but ac they eat and drink
they must be live animals and have
feeling. Imagine some monster com-
ing to earth from Mars who thought
that we poor human beings were very
succulent morsels of food when eaten
alive. It would indeed be a nice sen-
gation to be poked full of holes and
covered with about six pounds of salt.
“However, this will not deter me
from indulging in the delicious half-
shell habit. I am going to eat my
oysters in such a way as to save them
pain—one jab with a fork, put the
sauce on quickly and then gobble it.
“It's a good thing that they can't
yell and jump, for if this were so our
dining rooms would be full of tragic
moanings and shrieks. However, this
would not be so bad, for we would
then have the alternative of cooking
them.”
Paid Scott $15,000 for a Poem.
What is the highest price ever
paid by a publisher for a poem? It
would be interesting to know whether
any advance has ever been made on
the $15,000 that Scott received for
“Rokeby.” Stephen Gwynn, in his life
of Moore, tells us that Murray offered
$10,000 for the copyright of “Laila
Rookh,” “but Moore's friends thought
he should have more and, going to
Longman, they claimed that Mr.
Moore should receive no less than
the highest price ever paid for a
poem. ‘That’ sald Longman, ‘was
$15,000 paid for “Rokeby.”’ On this
basis they treated, and Longman was
inclined to stipulate for a preliminary
perusal. Moore, however, refused,
and the agreement was finally word-
ed: ‘That upon your giving into our
hands a poem of the lemgth of “Roke-
by” you shall receive from us a sum
of $15,000."
Light Like That of Day.
Patents have just been taken out
in Germany for using marble instead
of glass in lamps, which has the effect
of making the illumination scarcely
distinguishable from daylight. In
numerable experiments have been
made with tinted and patterned types
of glass with the idea of producing
this effect, but all have been failures.
As a last recourse a sheet of white
marble was planed down until it was
semi-transparent and then different
intensities of light were shown from
behind. The result was exactly what
so many hundreds of experiments
had failed to produce.
Developing this discovery the pat-
entees have fitted lights to the cor
nice of a room with such success that
it is dificult to prove that it is arti
ficially lighted.
