Historical plays are acted every
where In China. They are popular In
the quiet villages, the homes of the
rich. In the crowded cities, and In the
busy market towns. These plays are
written with the object of Intensify-
ing the bitterness and contempt of the
people agalnat the foreigner. The
story of plunderings and massacres of.
their forefathers Is vividly portrayed.:
with all the dramatic power that the
actors possess. The foreigner is rep
resented as a monster In appearance.
His face ia dragged out of shape and
bla mouth is made to appear near his
ear. Hia beard on one side is red and
on the other blue. His eyes are fierce
and staring, and murder ia stamped |
upon his hideous features. The peo-
ple of the interior, who have never
come into actual contact with the for*
eigner, have this conception of the
hated barbarian. To their mind*
Americana, French, English, Germans
are all alike, barbarians to be d*
stroyed.

LBAO THE IDEAL EIMffLK LlffE
Finns Devote Summer Months to En
joyment and ffursult of HMlth.
In Finland everybody Uvea tbs aim
pie life In summer time. They camp
out on lalanda, in the foreata and al
ways somewhere near the water, for
everybody swims and bathes. Almost
all classes sleep and eat al fresco at
tbla time of year, and the town coun
cils of the towns In this progressive
tfd altogether delightful little country
provide public fireplaces and public
bathing abed* in all places where the
working claaaea go In search of fresh
air.
But the simple life la by no means
dull with the frisky Finns. They com-
bine it with a surprising amount of
gayety. They eat. drink and are merry
In their picturesque little log cabin*
outside the cities.
When they are tired of bathing and
splashing they dance, they sing, they i
watch fireworks and practice gyiunas {
tics, they all become like children and {
are the happiest, merriest, most good 1
natured, most easily pleased and most !
healthy holiday makers In the world
We might take many leaves from the
Finns’ book.—Ladies’ Pictorial.

JUMPED AT NATURff’* BIDDINA , REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE*
Would-Be Suicide Not Completely Proud Owners of Pots, Litton to Thlo
Nerved for Final Parting.
With a groan of despair he made up
his mind to die.
Ruined financially, and with not a
particle of hope for getting on his
feet again, he realized that the only
chance for his family escaping pauper-
ism and Its attendant miseries was to •
obtain immediate use of his heavy ;
life insurance.
Furthermore, If he lingered on he i
would be unable to pay the premiums
on his policies, which unfortunately
were not old enough to carry them-
selves, so that they would forthwith
lapse.
Death, therefore, was the only solu-
tion to the problem. It was a decision
the bitterness of which can only be
understood by those forced by circum-
stances to confront It.
He put on his hat and overcoat and
went out of the house, lest the expres-
sion on his telltale countenance should
betray to his loved ones his fell Inten-
tion. While he was traversing the
crowded streets he would consider the
best and least suspicious modes of
consummating his purpose. If he
could encompass It so that the thing
looked to the world like an accisxnL
so much the better. There would
then be no scandal.
As he stepped from the curb to
cross the street an automobile, driven
by a reckless Joy-riding chauffeur,
cams tearing around the corner at ter-
rifying speed.
And the energetic leap which tto
would-he suicide made back to the
sidewalk oat to harm’s way was •
from Flatbuah, N. Y.
Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull to-
rier. Is the most respected dog in Flat-
bush, N. Y.. says a correspondent. Ha
requires every other dog within 40
blocks to walk a chalk line and bow
to him as he passes by. He can lick
everything on four feet up to' twice his
size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the-
Pump. His master attributes Zip’s
prowess to his fondness for the pipe.
Like Old King Cole:
He call* for his pipe.
He call, for hi. glass.
He calls for his fiddlers three.
"That is the most remarkable dog in
the world,” aays his master. “He takes
my pipe out of my mouth and smokos
it, standing on his hind feet See! The
stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco
doesn't burn well. Zip will get down on
his fours and chase all over the house
to create a draught. When the lire Is
well started again he finishes his
smoke and returns me the pipe.
Strong? He ought to be named Sam-
son. Why, we have a piano that
weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to It wfth
a rope and to will pull it all over tto
room.”
