CHINESE WOMEN AND BOXERS.
Tolicy of the Empre** Dowager !•
Said to Be Indorsed by the Women
of China.
Washington. July 12 —Woman's influence
in China is greater than is commonly sup
posed. Records of the greet Flowery
Kingdom are full cf examples of wocnerk
famous for their learning, heroism and
high principle. Sometimes women achieve
absolute power over the household, for
there is a popular saying. “She eats rice
with her h -band." which is used to ex-
press the rule of the female tyrant. The
most astonishing instance of feminine
power to-day is, of course, the career of
the Dowager Empress, Eszi-Chi. It is
said that to-day the greatest mandarin of
<'hin would far rather face the Emperor
Kwangsa than the secluded lady whose
■firmness has often been- tried and never
been broken. She is still the power which
rules the colossal country of 300.000.000
people, a country subject to colossal dis
asters of flood, famine, epidemics, earth
quakes and insurrection, and which is now
in the throes of revolution and warfare.
As an instance of the Empress Dowager’s
strength, it may be recalled that she de
posed her strongest vizier, Prince Kung,
in 1865, by a mere decree in the Pekin
Gazette because “he overrated his import-
ance." In common with all other nations,
the woman of China represent the most
fervent religious element. They are said
to Indorse enthusiastically the Boxers'
movement and to be lighting with passion
to help tid the country of the detested
missionary.
That the women of China do not lack
courage Is proved by the fact that they
sometimes seek suicide as relief from un
happy marriages and uncongenial hus
bands would frequently be murdered were
It not for special punishments, "lgnomln
niot.s and slow," devlseej for all women
who should attempt homicide. The mere
existence of this law proves the necessity
for It, Again, not long ago, fifteen young
girls of Canton threw themselves Into the
liver to escape from marrying the hus
i Panda chosen for them.
Two other recent example* prove tha
heroism o? the Chinese women of high de
gree. a daughter of the Chinese minis
ter to London. Kwo-Sung-Taon .was mar
ried at the age of 17. When her husband
feil ill and all food failed to nourish him
she cut a slice off her arm and put it in
the broth. When he died she tried to com
mit suicide, out of grief, and would eat
nothing but golf leaf, to induce death. It
failed to poison her. and she then starved
to death. Her sister-in-law. Mrs. Kwo, a
sister of the Marquis Tseng, tried also to
follow her husbar.d to the land of spirits,
but the use of quantities of gold leaf
failed, and she Anally rook compassion on
her children, agreed to live and managed
her father-in-law's property while he was
in London. Li Hung Chang penned a
memorial to the l>ragor. throne, requesting
that these two women should be awarded
a sign of imperial approval.
Notwithstanding the degraded condition
of women of the lower classes, the female
ideal is high in China, and the annals of
the past show a long series of virtuous and
heroic women, who have made an indel
ible impression upon the national mind.
The mother of the great sage, Confucius,
is held as o model, (or, as his father died
when the child was three years of age. his
training was accomplished by his mother,
who, ii js said, gave him the foundation
for his great moral maxims. The • next
philosopher of importance, Memcius, was
also indebted to his mother for the for
mation of his character and mind, as W'ell
as his philosophy.
V. Oman’s lot in China is, however, not
an enviable one. She is not received in
to the wop id with joy and is given very lit
tle education. At twelve she is banished
from all companionship to become "the
young girl who sits in the house,” until
her marriage, when she weds some on
she lias never seen. Then she must obey
her husband and her mother-in-law; she
may not come into contact with men or
the outside world; and, as a rule, she can
not read. She may, however, receive
l2dies and return their calls. The patriar
chal system is so universal that the
father is a despotic ruler over his family,
and a married woman be.omes so entirely
a part of her husband's famly that she
has to yield her duty ond obedience to her
husband's parents, who frequently treat
her more as a slave than a daughter-in
law- The doctrine inculcated in the Chi
nese classics Is that a woman has three
stages of obedience: First, to her father;
second, to her husband, (after she is mar
ried, land, third, to her son (if her hus
band dies) when he reaches manhood. The
old proverb goes: “Men wish their boys
to be like wolves, and fear least they
should be timid; their girls they wish to
be like mice, and fear lest they should
have the boldness of the tiger." The laws
established 2,300 years ago are in favor
to-day, and among them no rules are
stricter tbjan those which provide for keep
ing the women in/bondage. *
Chinese books of instruction for girls
consist chiefly of exhortations to discharge
their duties as daughters, wives, mothers
and daughters-in-law. The “Girls' Four
Books," to which two famous emperore
wrote prefaces, contain the best idea of
how the female mind and character must
be trained. Modesty, gentleness, self-sac
rifice, wisdom, respect for elders and a
virtuous disposition must be a woman’s
equipment in life. There is no pressing
need for intellectual education. However,
about one hundred in every ten thousand
women read, ond that means read with
understanding the great books of philoso
phy and literature, the works of China's
sages and poets. Such cases are found
among the aristocratic classes, and men
of letters frequently teach their wives and
daughters not only the art of reading, but
that of writing, and go so far as to publish
their literary effusions.

was an important person because he
carved. Dinner a ia Russe has long since
robbed him of this unpleasant preroga

more so, at afternoon tea than he is at

Every Invitation arrives with "Mr. and
Mrs.” at the top. Why this is so is im
possible to say, except, perhaps, that the
married couple are anxious to let their
friends know that they are still living
together. Whatever the reason, however,
the result will doubtless be good, and
the plainest and slyest of men will have
blown out into attractive hosts under
the feeling that they are bound to show
up at their own parties, and do their
share in the entertaining.
Crushes are no longer in favor. The
mere love of cramming a room with a
crowd of people is among the things of
the past. Small, select parties are much
better style, when no one is asked who
has not some raison d’etre.
Very little music is being given at par
ties this season. Hostesses recognize that
people want to talk, and are only too
thankful to be let alone. Introducing has

ular hostess, as a rule, is she who lets
her guests llnd their own friends. “The
hostess who worries you,” a mere man
declares, “Is luckily getting unpopular,
and people only like to patronize the solon
of the chatelaine who has mastered the
great tirt of letting her guests alone.”
The number of entertainments given In
hotels and smart restaurants Is one of
the growing signs of the laziness of
modern life, and the tendency to central
ize In all things. People are thankful
to be saved trouble at any cost, nnd giv
ing parties lit hotels saws an Illimitable
amount of ealeulntlon on the part of the
hostess. No mere man need to moke
elaborate calculations as to the nmount
of food and drink required, no trouble
some consultations with the cook, the
whole matter Is taken out of the enter
tainer's hands, and attended to by an all
knowing hotel mannger. The house Is not
filmed upside down, nor the servants
driven to distraction by unaccustomed
duties. These entertainments at hotels
have a splee of novelty about them which
make them very acceptable to the guests,
and they give the minimum of trouble
to the Hostess.

Gentlemen—lt gives me pleasure to
heartily recommend Infants’ Friend
Powder, and to give to you a singu
lar little coincident connected with it.
During the Cotton States and In

ted with a little box of this powder,
and was so p*ea®*d with it that I
was exceedingly anxious to get more,
but on looking at the box I found
nothing but Savannah, Ga.. no other
address. I have often wished I knew
where to get It. This morning's
mail brought your circular with en
closed sample I immediately re
ferred to my box. and found it was
the Infants’ Friend Powder. It is
without doubt the best powder I have
ever used. Respectfully,

Grace of Sutherland. No woman in Eng
land is more intelligent and modern in her
ideals, enjoys rhore varied interests and
graces her strawberry leaved coronet with
a more conscientious endeavor to do what
is becoming and worthy of a worn in and
a peeress. The Duchess springs the
noble family of Rosslyn and two o* her
sisters, the Countess of Warwick and
Lady Angela Forbes are as famous for
their brains and beauty as she.
Not only does she come of one of the
richest Scottish families, but after a year
in society she married the richest young
bachelor Duke in England. She is the mis
stress*of rive superb homes, and in London
at Stafford House and in the north coun
try at Dun robin Castle she is reckoned
one of the handsomest and most powerful
social leaders of English society. In spite
of her riches and the adulation that is her
share, this tall, slender ond gracious wo
man takes a deeper interesi in scientific
philanthropy, the education of children and
the cause of woman /suffrage than In ball*
and dinners.
I’nder her patronage the cottage indus
tries of Scotland have enjoyed a remark
able prosperity. In the big cities of
Scotland, in London, nnd even in New
York, she lias established shorn* that do a
line business in the extensive manufac
tures of the Scottish peasantry. Perhaps
If she is conx tiling of a socialist like her
sister, the Countess of Warwick, she is
very consistent in her creed and at her
castle in the north she is tenderly lov’d
by tho poorer classes In her relations with
which she ie both sensible and sincere.
The greater portion of the Duchess*
time Is spent at Dunrcbln leading * very
simple life with her small family, tramp
ing and riding about In a rough short
skirted tweed gown, followed by her does
and accompanied very often by her blond
headed little daughter. Lady .Rosemary,
who wears heavy boots and full knicker
bockers, who has a playmate In every
cottager’s child, nnd who is tlrnaly ground
ed in the belief that a duks's daughter is
no better than a farmer'*, only rnoro
lucky.
