The edict is couched in snch ters
that it leaves no doubt of the deep
sympathy of the throne witfe the
boxers, who are described as “good

edict orders him to return wifh bis

Where People Dress ANke.
In Yucatan, Central America, sisters
dress precisely alike, even to the tieing
of a bow, the turn of a button, or the
flower in the hair. In the tropics large
families are the rule, and one may sue
in that country girls in groups of from
three to a baker’s dozen who belong
to the same family, as their clothes
will show. It is thus easy to distin
guish the members of a family any
where. In Anam men and women
wear their hair in the same way, and
dress almost aUke. Earrings and lin
ger rings are worn by the women onlyT

Jacky’s Prayer.
At the battle of Trafalgar a sailor
found kneeling by his gun, as his ship
was about to engage the enemy, was
asked by the first lieutenant if he were
afraid. “Afraid,” answered Jack, with
an expression of the utmost disdain;
“no, your honor; I’m only praying that
the enemy's shot may be distributed
like the prize money—the greatest
among the officers.”

This man is not in the habit of flirt
ing, but he really could not resist the
temptation the other day when he en
tered a corner grocery in the outlying
district. The pretty, red-cheeked girl
behind the coxmter looked so demure
and said, “Certainly, sir,” so sweetly
when he asked if he could use the tele
phone that he was tempted to use the
electric converser as the means of
throwing a complaint. Besides, had
not she encouraged him by a slight
arching of the eyebrow* and a coy
glance in his direction? She was wait
ing on a neighboring housewife, who
was herself attractive enough to cause
more than passing attention. They
both laughed when he made a facetious
remark to his friend at the other end of
tho line.
“Where are you now?” asked the
friend.
“Why,” replied the audacious fellow,
“I’m out here in an east-end grocery
watching a pretty girl sell a dozen eggs
to a customer.
There was a sudden plunk and
splash, as the confused girl allowed the
paper sack into which she was count
ing the eggs to fall to the floor.
The proprietor of the grocery came
in from the rear at that moment, and
the young man escaped during the con

He Doesn’t Mean It.
When you hear a young man say: "1
don’t believe in a woman having any
thing to do but sit and read, or mani
cure her finger nails all day, I don’t
want my wife to be busy about any
thing,” why, of course, you know that
the young man is simply talking
against time. lie doesn’t mean a word
he says, and it is safe to warrant that
he is the first man who would be bored
to death by such a girl. This young
man may like to fancy that he is a
believer in such false sentiments, and
perhaps he does baliere in them foi
the moment of saying. But this may
more than likely be only his way of
protesting against the wave of energy
which the girlhood of to-day is re
sponding to, out of which perhaps may
come salvation even to man. Or else,
possibly, there is nothing more than
sly method in his old school assertion
