18 MUSK IS MOST POWERFUL ODOR Secretion of Male Deer of Pe culiar Species Is Very Valuable Musk is one product of world commerce in which China practically enjoys a monopoly— not a large one. to lie sure, siuce the annual output . is at l>est only some $400,000 sold, but the product itself is 'worth many 1 time its weight in silver, and for that matter, sold as well, in these ' days of high exchange, says the Far , Kastern Review, Chungking. About one-half of the total output stays in China and is used especially I by the Cantonese in compounding pills that form the best -known rem- i cdy in the Chinese pharmacopaeia ! for Asiatic cholera. 'The Chinese] also use musk to keep moths out of j furs and clothing, and as a perfume, the odor being quite popular in the better -grades of perfumery.

Good musk is bought for 10 times , it weight -in silver at Sungpan. and t at Chungking for 1£ to 25 times, so there is a heavy profit somewhere. ; Small supplies are brought out to various points along the l.ungan road, where every coolie seems to have some about him. and the inns reek with the sickly smell.

I have j j learned of his marriage front him- ' self, but 1 know nothing of his mar | riod life. 1 would like your ndvieo j las to whether it would be proper for ime to keeji an appointment with him ] j and continue our friendship. He is j I l'.i and has been married since last I j April. | ANXIOUS.

Is such a boy worth 'knowing? If lie is emotional, weak- | I willed, unstable and without any real I loyalty in his nature it wouldn't do , much good to know him even if he j were single. His foolish, headlong j I' marriage may not prove these things.; I am not in a position to judge, but 1 j want you to nut yourself in a position j to judge. When a girl goes about ; : with a married man Iter reputation is j generally forfeited. This boy soiyids like the sort of headlong, impetuous, j I changeable youngster who would not ( j be able to protect! you either from the world or himself. You must proceed J very slowly and carefully. If you j I have a brother or father, or mother.! ; let one of them investigate. You are! : drifting into a dangerous position ! when von form a friendship such as i . voti suggest. Take soundings and j chart your course before you drift j | too far.

H. ! i How much do you love the sweet heart whose commands and requests ■j you are discussing witl* mc? How sin ; cere do you consider his feeling for I .you? How much did your friendship I with the soldier mean to you?. Figure 'out the actual values of the situation. ! I do not quite understand the sen ! tence in which you tell me how your lover is ignoring you. I don't like i jealousy nor a tendency to bo tyran nical and issue orders.

A few days ago I received a letter from a friend of my fiance (a married ; man) saying that I should break off the engagement at the wish of my 1 tiance and return the ring without | asking any questions. Now, Miss Fairfax, do you advise me to return the ring or wait until my fiance calls . j at my home and offers an expiana '|tion? He has proved that he loves I me, so I cannot make out what I it all means. CYNTHIA. I am heartily out of sympathy ' with your accepting any "com ! mands" from this friend of your ! fiance. Either you or some mem ber of your family ought to write a dignified little letter to the man you ! were planning to marry.

Tell him| that you have no thought of try-j ing to hold him against his will cr of attempting to make him do any thing lie no longer desires to do. Ask him to either write to you or come ifnd explain liis sudden change of hearts; tell him that since lie wants to be free, he shall be free,; but that you feel strongly (anil know that after thinking; it over he will agree) that It is only fair ;'or you to know what has changed liim so.
