Woman'sWorld
First Woman In China
to Practice Medicins.
DM. TAMEI KIN.
Is it possible for an eastern woman
to enjoy western education and train
ing and remain characteristically ori
ental? This is a question frequently
asked by Europeans interested in the
education and progress of eastern wo
men. To seo Dr. Yainel Kin, China's first
woman doctor, and, better still, to
hear ber speak in perfect English of
her hopes for the further progress of
Chinese women, is to answer the ques
tion in the affirmative. Dr. Yampi Kin
stands for the well balanced oriental
woman, familiar with the science,
learning and methods of the wast, but
losing none of her own nationality.
Sue is typically Chinese in appear
ance. There are the pale complexion,
the dark hair, the small dark eyes,
twinkling with fun. Small in stature,
but alert and active in body and mind,
Dr. Kin wisely retains her Chinese
dress.
It is more than twenty years since
Dr. Yamei Kin took her degree at the
Women's Medical college. New York,
now merged into Cornell university.
The years spent in the west have
taught her much besides a wondorful
command of tlio English language and
a knowledge of medicine and surgery.
She docs not approve of al she has
heard and soon, but she recognizes
that modern science is the greatest
gift of the west to the east today. In"
method there must be adaptation rather
than adoption.
She is now intrusted by the Chinese
government with the organization of
a medical department for women in
northern China, a huge task which
calls forth her splendid abilities. A
start has been made at Tientsin. A
hospital, dispensary and medical school
are in existence. How they came in
to being is characteristically Chinese.
Land, on which were some very an
cient buildings, was allotted , to Dr.
Kin for her new organization, with an
assured revenue. That was the gov--crnment's
part; sho waB to do all the
rest. "You must make your own
plans and carry your scheme to suc
cess." This meant that sho had to be her
own architect and engineer and carry
out the work with the aid of a few
ordinary workmen. There were the
water supply to bo planned and sani
tary work to bo done, as well as de
molishing some of the old buildings,
replacing them with new ones and
adapting others to her purpose.
The transformation was worked.
The architect and engineer are now
sunk In the doctor and director. Dr.
Kin's aim is to make sure progress and
lift the people slop by step to better
sanitation and hygiene. In her estab
lishment she maintains Chinese cus
toms so far as possible and Introduces
only such western methods of sanita
tion as are Indispensable. DTer stu
dents enter for a two or three years'
course; their method of life is Chinese,
also their food, which Dr. Kin shares
with them In order that sho may be
the first to complain if anything should
bo wrong.
Nothing Like Personality.
Nothing like personality, If you
know how to assert it. Clerks have
not forgotten the dear lady who wrote
to her husband: "I am Just crazy ovor
tho Thousand islands. How long can
I stay?" It was personality, pure and
simple, that won for her tho enthusi
astic response, "So glad you arc hav
ing a nice time! Don't hurry. Stay a
week on each island."
Mora gossip this, but with his own
ears tho clerk onco heard a farmer's
wife pay a most generous and inspir
ing tribute to personality. Concluding
a tirade in disfavor of an nunt, sho
blurted: "I know what I'll do to her.

Orioin of High 'Heeled Shoes.
Mim. Tompadour was a very small
-woman, but to mako herself look tall
she built her hair up high and wore tho
first pair of high heeled shoos ever
made. The high heels that were In
vented for her hove been accused of
many crimes to tho foot, but physicians
now seem agreed that "broken arches"
may bo produced by any sudden shock,
such as Jumping from a car. Children
who Jump the rope a great deal some
times have this disease of the foot.
DIDN'T SPEAK TO HIS
WIFE FOR FORTY YEARS.
Finland Lived Next Door to Her, b it
Never Forgave Scandal.
Gilson Ituland ever since lip return
ed to his homo in Pntohogue, '. Y.,
from the civil war In 1Si5 had lived
In a house adjolnlmr thnt of lite vft
and never In forty yours li.nl sjiok- n n

the time of his de.it li had not a friend
or relative In the wor'd. his wife hav
ing died some tlnii previously, from
grief, It Is believed. lioc:iu.-i( ho would
not lie reconciled with her.
Ituhuul married shortly Ixjfuro the
civil war. lie onlWed at the first call
for volunteers. When lie returned,
four years later, gossiping residents
of Pntchogue wore linking the name of i
his wife with those of other men who
had not gone to the war.
From tho day he returned and first
heard the stories Itnlaud never again
addressed n word to his wife. He left
the house in which he and she had
been living lwforc the war aud built
himself a house next door. It was
small, with only two rooms, and he
lived there alone. lie and his wife
often passed each other in tho street
and lived so near that they could not
help seeing each other through the
windows of their homes. She made
many fruitless attempts to win his
forgiveness.
Huland was known to two genera
tions of children as "Santa Claus" be
cause of his long white beard.
FAVORS BIG GUNS FOR. PEACE.
Lord Beresford Scouts the Idea of a
British-German War.
Tho peace of Europe is best main
tained by big navies is the opinion of
Lord Charles Beresford, wlw is visit
ing this country.
It was In reply to a question regard
ing the makeup of the British navy
that Iord Charles Beresford gave his
opinion.
"1 do not think It Is arrogance to
say that the peace of Europe depends
largely upon the strength of the Iirlt
ish tlect," he said. "Peace is for the
interest of all and is the greatest In
terest the powers of the world have to
consider.
"Tho idea of war between England
and Germany Is ridiculous. Diplomacy
will always prevail to preveut such a
thing."
Asked about the veto bill, ho said
the reform of the house of lords was a
necessary step to meet modern require
ments. He added without comment
that the house of lords will have to
be distinctly reformed. He was asked
which was the greater fighting ship,
our new Delaware or tho British
Dreadnought.
"That is a question of patriotism,"
he answered diplomatically.
Lord Beresford is going to the Pa
cific coast and then to Mexico, where
he has property.
A HOLE AS EVIDENCE.
Unusual Exhibit Will Figure In the
Trial of the McNamaras.
A hole in the ground caused by the
explosion of n Iwmb will figure In the
trial of the McNamara brothers for
the alleged dynamiting of thp Los An
geles Times. Tho hole was dug up
and boxed for preservation.
On the morning of the destruction of
tho Times building, Oct. 1, 1910, two
unexpkxJod liombs were found at the
residences of General Otis, owner of
tho Times, and F. J. .oehandelaar,
Fecretary of the Merchants and Manu
facturers' association. A detective
was carrying off the bomb from tho
Otis grounds inclosed in a suit case
when he heard a clock ticking nnd
dropped the grip and ran. The bomb
went off, tearing a large hole In tho
ground.
Tho hole remained undisturbed, but
a few days ago tho attorneys for the
defense decided they needed It for evi
dence. Accordingly four detectives set
to work nnd by daybreak had tunneled
under the hole, boxed It In and pre
pared to cart it away.
INVITE TAFT TO FLY.
Harvard Aviators Will Give Him
Chance if He'll Take It.
President Taft will have an oppor
tunity to take an airship ride at the
air meet at Boston, which begins Aug.
'-7.
Officials of the Harvard Aviation as
soclatlon have decided to present an
Invitation to the president to take his
first trip Into the air on tho day that
ho visits the flying exhibition.
The president has already promised
that he will go from Beverly on one
of tho flying days.
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, who
went up last year, will go up again
this year. If possible Mayor Fitz
gerald will take his next trip on the
day that the president attends the
meet, and an appeal will be made to
tho president not to let Boston's chlcl
executive outdo him.
Mew Kind of Compass.
Ensign Lemalre lias invented a gyro.
scopic comimss, which possesses the
advantage of indicating the geographi

north. By this compass the calcula
tion of tho variation becomes unnec
essary. Pine Tract Pays.
In Louisiana In 1882 a firm bought
a tract of about 19,000 acres of yellow
pine for $10,000. In 1000 the same
tract was sold for $1,125,000.

Mothers
In tho Nursery.
Fresh rlpt fruit without sugar is
very wholesome, especially if eaten In
tho early part of tho day. So much
sugar is often added to stowed fruit
as to make it undesirable for some
children, especially those subject to
skin trouble.
To make an attractive!- screen for the
nursery get a light bamboo screen (an
old one will do) and remove the sllko
llue with which these are usually
covered. Substitute dark red or green
cambric and cover it with colored pic
tures, pasted on so that each panel Is
given over to one kind, such as flow
ers, animals, children, etc. Tho screen
will prove its value in the early morn
ing hours when tho baby will He and
look at the pictures instead of start
ing an untimely concert.
A pretty crib cover may be made
from a yard each of whlto and pale
blue or pink flannel. On tho colored
flannel -embroider a flower and bow
knot design, on the whlto a conven
tional border and a largo central mon
ogram. Bind the two together by
means of wide satin ribbon and put
the bow or rosette in ono corner, with
tho colored side considered as the top.
When a child eats or drinks any
thing that Is hot enough to burn the
mouth give him a tcaspoonful of pure
olive oil, telling him to hold it in bis
mouth as long as possible before
swallowing It. '
One Mother's Experience.
A wise young mother who seems to
have excellent control over her little
ones let fall a few words of wisdom
at a "mothers' club" recently.
"When my babies are tired at night
and it's time for them to go to bed,"
she said when another mother asked
her bow she succeeded so well In get
ting her children to bed without a
row, "I never say 'Get ready for bed
at once and put away your playthings
immediately,' for that will call forth
tears and a protest against the strict
command. Instead I say, 'Nearly
time for bed, so put away your play
things in a few moments.' In this
way they have fair warning, and they
are seldom unwilling to go when the
Dual signal comes. That's my very
simple method."
It Is well for young mothers to re
member this one mother's way, for it's
the keynote of tho real understanding
of tho child heart. Sympathy is a
quality children never fail o under
stand and appreciate. Imagine a
mother being told by some ono In au
thority to put down her book without
finishing the one chapter which is the
most interesting in tho whole book.
Would It not at least save a frown of
Impatience to be told to finish the
chapter first?
Helping Backward Children.
Many mothers would bo perfectly
willing to help their children with
their school work if they only knew
how.
If a child is slow to read and spell
It will help to say, "Shut tho d-o-o-r,"
"Get me a b-o-o-k, please;" "Your
hair is b-r-o-w-n," "Your eyes are
b-l-u-e." Then encourage tho child to
tell you something the same way, even
if It is only "Look nt the c-a-V
If there are some new words to spell
give the child an old newspaper and a
pair of scissors and let her cut out
the letters and form tho words who,
been, work, etc. This will impress the
letters on the mind more than repeat
ing them.
To tempt children to read rouse their
curiosity by putting a picture in tho
middle of the sentence, as the (rat)
went into a hole.
Toll a story and spell a word occa
sionally, as: Once there was a dear
little (rabbit) and it had long (ears).
It went for a little (walk) one day in
the (field), etc.
Ten Commandments For Baby.
Give tho baby Its food at regular
hours.
Give tho baby water.
Give the baby no medlclno unless
prescribed by tho doctor.
Give the baby a tub bath every day.
Do not put warmer clothes on tho
baby In tho summer time than you
wear yourself.
Keep a window open night and day
in thi baby's room. Colds come from
closed windows, not from open ones.
If the baby does not gain weight
sec tho doctor. Something is wrong.
Do not rock tho baby to sleep. Put
it down and let It cry Itself to sleep.
Boll all milk before giving it to the
baby.
If yon cannot employ a doctor apply
to the nearest police station.
Teaching Chivalry.
"My little boy has always been very
chivalrous in his attitude toward me,"
said a mother recently. "This trait 1
mako uso of now when he comes from
school saying, as most small boys do
nt ono time or another, 'I don't like
tho teacher.' I talk about tho largo
number of Httlo boys tho teacher has
under her charge, how tired sho must
get, how much' sho needs strong,
manly little boys to help her, and my
son decides at onco that he'd like to
b a brave, strong knight to protect
tho teacher, Ho always goec back in
a helpful frame of mind."
DR. WALKER OFFERS
TO SELL A FINGER.
Will Clve Digit to Mrs. Waldorf For
Money a Build Hospital.
Mrs. Reginald Waldorf of Philadel
phia ond Los Angeles, Col., who ad
vertised for a "living right index fin
ger," can buy tho desired member if
sho likes from no less n person than
Dr. Mary Walker, the woman who
wears trousers. Dr. Walker has sent
this letter to Mrs. Waldorf:
Mrs. Reginald Waldorf I have Just read
that you desire to purcliaso a right Index
finger. Will you give mo enough to erect
a consumptive ward on my estato at Os
wego,. N. Y. ?
I have saved hopeless cases, and be
cause I declare consumption Is not con
tagious money Is not forthcoming to erect
a ward.
I finish this letter not using my Index
finger. MARY E. WALKER, M. D.,
Surgeon of War 1851-03.
P. S. If return ticket Is sent will come
Immediately so you can decide If my fin
ger is desired by yourself.
Mrs. Waldorf desires a finger to re-
place ono sho lost In an accident. She
is reported to bo independently wealthy
aud capable of paying almost any
price for a finger, provided it suite her.
She believes that the finger can be
grafted on her hand nud that eventu
ally she will havo a perfect one. Dr.
Walker is elghty-ono years old.
She figured prominently in the civil
war as a surgeon nnd was ono of the
first woman suffrage workers in the
country. For years sho has worn
man's nttire. Sl;o is anxious to erect a
hospital for consumptives, and in a
note sho says she would sacrifice much
more than a finger if it were possible
to realize her dream.

as Recompense.
Harry J. Bohart, Presbyterian Sun
day school teacher of Kansas City, has
filed suit in tho circuit court asking
$55,000 damages from tho Missouri Pa
cific railroad because that company's
employees forced him to drink whisky
enough from a Jug to make him drunk.

agent nnd operator informed Bohart
that they expected to have a Jolly
evening -and brought forth a Jug of
whisky. Bohart, who up to that time
had never tasted whisky, was the first
to be asked to drink. When he re
fused It Is alleged that tho men forced
him at tho point of a revolver to swal
low tho liquor.
The Sunday school teacher claims to
havo become intoxicated and to have
suffered a splitting headache the fol
lowing day.
An effort will be made in tbo Bult to
hold the railroad responsible on the
ground that its employees in charge
of tho depot were the prime movers
