If woman could ever learn thab It le quite possible to combine affability with dignity in commonplace, daily intercourse with their fellow oreacures, this would be a far brighter and more agreeable world.

Tablecloths. The size of the tablecloth must, of course, be determined in a general way by that of the table. Where an extension is need, there should be one cloth large enough for the table when all of the leaves are in place ; but such a spread would be entirely • out of place when half of the surfaces had been taken away and sznaller cloths should be provided; of proper size for the ordinary use., White any approved pattern may be purphased, it is generally a mistake to •eelee.t faney colored linens. The white is always standard, always eppropriate, 'looks web, and will be in fashion ; but as much cannot be field for the colors, which may be popular one season and entirely .under the ban within a year. Iteedee, when th e cloth has become So worn that it is not available ter further use on the table, its utility is very much greater if white than if colored.

Vast and populous as Chita is, the experience of the present century shows that she is weak for aggressive purposes. She has not the hold on territory adjacent to her borders which she could claim a hundred years ago. European nations are pressing on her, both on the south and on the north. She has been forced to cede a portion of her territory to England, and she 'has been compelled to avail herself of the help of Englishmen, both for civil ad- ministration and. for military command. All these things show that an expansion of the Chinese race does' not necesserily involve an extension of , Chinese dominion. On the eontraey, they tend to prove that it is the order introduced by European ad- minstration which leads to the ;multiplica- tion of, these industrious people ; and there is, therefore at least Os inuoh ground for saying thae/though 13orneo, Sumatra, and.

They enjoy the entraile of sheep or dogs, and fight with their own dogs for the pos- session of meat seething, with maggots. Seated round their fires they may often be seen all sacking- at the same pieee of a sheep's intestines several yards In length. A great many of the blacks have been fear- fully burnt about black bodies and limbs while sleeping by their own fires, and then there is some disease am,ong them almost as horrible as that awful scourge leprosy: After looking on such a terrible sight one is almost impelled to pray for the more speedy extern -deletion of the tube. •, Tfie road from Southern Cross to Northam is next door to impassable. Numerous teamsters were camped with knocked -up horses and. bogged vehicles, and the coach with a good stanch team of, horses found it impossible to get through. Here andalleaer teamszers were met with only a half or a third of their original load aboard. They bad. found it impossible to get through with the lot, andaliad stacked a portion of it alongetde-the track to be brought on later. *ten rain had fallen and the red mud stuck axone TUX sPoitES OF THE WHEELS Until it prevented them from revolving,and the unfortunate teamsters had to use pick and shovel every few minutes to be able to make any headway. An empty wagon, drawn by sit horses, had. been pulled along on its body in one place nearly a quarter of a mile, and others had been wrecked entire, ly by the roughness of the road. One very bad feature about this, and indeed all other western Australian country tracks, is that the middle has been worn down to a con- siderable- depth by the practiosewhich pre- vails of working the' horses in. single file, but an effort is now being made to legislate • On the nfatter. If the driving of horses two abreast is made compulsory then the first lot of teams whieh will go through to the Oran under the new rule will have eome bitter experiences. It would not be a difficult or exteasive matter to materially improve the" track, but in view of the pro. bable completion of the Northam to Yilgarn railway early in the new year it is not likely Shat the goverateent will spencrany money upon it. In the dry weather ib will be good enough for the traffic. ken THEN Tun wseon trouble will assert itself. The contractors constructing the line are making rapid prog- ress with it. The bulk of the clearing has ' been done, and the rails are being laid at the rate of a mile a day, while arrange- ments have been made to throw open, the first section of the line for public traffic, This will overcome the track troubles for a distorice of about eighty- miles up from Northam. There are several hotels and stores along the track, and at Yoekarakine, Doodlekine, Merredin, and other places the traveler, if he chooses, can dine off a table, sit. on a choir, or sleep hi abed. • As everybody knows Coolgardie is, not the only gold field- in west Australia. The Murohison, Kimberley, and others have all attracted mach attention and yielded ex- cellent results. At the Murchieou only a few weeks back one lucky party 6f mon raised a bucketful of stone from their reef and obtained from it by rough dollying be- tween 200 and SOD ounces of gold. A number of extremely rich reefs are being worked both by compaines and privlete individuals, and the country for some con- siderable distance round the township is being PRETTY vioononstv pnoseecren. • This is better circumstanced for tucker and. wetter than the yonnger field, but like Coolgardie it had experienced some pretty hard times. Sone little time back there Was 5 severe atid lengthy drolight, which interfered with the wprk of exploration and swept off nearly all animal We. The cost of cartage there used to be $260 a ton, And even et that price it was difficult to get teamsters to undertake the journey from Geraddton. Eerly last year provisions ran very short at retie,- and almost any price • ootild be obtaited, for the necessaries of life, Preeervoct meet was $1.25 a tin aud flour $1,25 around. T. Que, from whom the township takes its name, is reported to have picked up 100 ounces of gold in a couple of hours Ori one of the claims. The field, hoevever,'is more important for reef- ing purposes than for alluvial gold, and many of the alluvial diggers have lately °leered out to the more reeently diecovered goid-bearingground at Coolgardie.
