"On our way up to the Whit House the

LEGAL PROVERBS OF CHINESE
They Appear te Have Oae t Fit
Kvery rata and la
Spare.
There Is no surer test of the real feel
ings of a people than their proverbial say
ings, those "gems which on the stretched
forefinger of all Time sparkle forever."
That China Is no exception to this rule
might have been supposed even If we had
no dlreet proof. Proverbial expressions
are very common in China. Dr. Arthur
Smith says that "common talk," the near
est approach to "proverb" In Chinese, Is
literally in the mouth of everyone, from
the emperor upon his throne to the woman
grinding at the mill."
Native proverbs relating to legal affairs
divide themselves roughly Into three
classes first, , those more or less common
to all people, and dealing with that "once
bitten twice shy" sort of wisdom which
leads a man to put up with evils rather
than go to law. Such, for example, are the
following:
If one family has a lawsuit ten fsmill
are Involved In calamity.
If but on word of Information against a
mat get Into th court, nine bullock can
not drag It out again.
Let householder avoid litigation, for onoe
go to law and there I nothing but trouble.
Win your lawsuit and lose your money.
Instances of this kind might be multi
plied. But we must pass on to the second
class those referring specially to the mao
darlns; and here It may be said that
though th majority of th proverbial lay
ing are not complimentary, there . are a
few to bear witness to the good that a
good man may do even In an official ca
paclty, while others give pointed advice
g "Never beat If you must fine, if you
do, all fine decline." Most, however, a is
natural, deal with the seamy side. The
following are a few specimens:
Ho punishment on the bench, no law be
low tt.
Deceive, but don't Insult a mandarin.
Men's hearts are, like Iron, and the rule
of the mandarine like a furnace.

A visit to a fashion factory, where some
thing like a. hundred and sixty thousand
patterns are turned out In a day, gives
food for thought on the Intricacies of mod
ern dress. The making of there psper pat
terns has come In the past twenty-five
years to be a mighty biyOnese. and the In
fluence of the tissue models of fashion has
spread so universally that It Is felt In the
tiniest country village In the remotest
parts of the country. The corner store in
every small town! has Its counter where
fashion patterns may be had. and to trios
benighted creatures beyond the reach of a
corner store there Is the farm magaalne or
the county weekly, with Its fsshlon pic
tures and coupons, through which th read
ers may reach the headquarters of style
and order the newest shirt waist or the
latest skirt, thus becoming, by following
the directions, a fine lady of fashion. The
big city dailies and the little, country
weeklies, almost everything In the way of
a publication In these days and times,
has Its fashion designs and patterns, so
that really there Isn't the least possible
excuse for any woman not being well
adorned, hatty and neat.
A small minority of women scattered
over the country get their styles first hand
from fashionable modistes, who Import
them direct from Paris, or make pretense
to, but for that vast majority of women
who are their own modistes, In part' or
wholly, the paper patterns Issued by va
rlous large concerns with headquarters
chiefly here In New Tork, set the standard
of fashion. They are the fashions of the
French modiste tempered and modified to
suit more general use. To see how these
patterns are created and manufactured,
going behind the scenes of the fashion fac
tory. Is an interesting thing. There are
several of these factories In New Tork
some that furnish the pictures and pat
terns for the papers and rriagaxlnes; others
that feed thepattem stores dotted all
over the country, and a few combining
both ends of the business.
Or. Spring street. New Tork City, stands
a splendid monument to women's fashions
In a thirteen-story building fashion are
planned, approved and Issued In practical
pattern form to the number of 160.U00
day In a busy season such ail this on the
threshold of spring! Just as In any busl
resa where the question of dress enters
there are two rush seasons in the pattern
factory early spring and early fall. Just
now there are being hewn out by the
hundred patterns that will mold the styles
for thousands of women, children and even
men. For even the lords of creation are
not above the sway of the paper pattern.
It's true, few of them like to confess it, but
many a man smile more complacently on
the world because of the smooth-lying
bosom of his wife-mado shirt. Of thus
driven to acts of desperation by the ill
fitting neckband we will say nothing.
Freaeh Women Wear American Mylee
These pattern penetrate not only Into
the waste places of America, but are Issued
In great numbers for the French, German
and Spanish people.. It seems odd that
French women, the molder of fashion,
should be wearing American styles; but
such Is the case, for the sal of the pat
terns issued here In the New Tork factory
and shipped abroad is enormous and Is
growing all the time. While American
merchants are sending buyers to France
to bring back the fashions, so American
factories are sending patterns to Franc
for the French people te copy. Not only
j do they buy our patterns, but they read
fashion magasines puousnea nere n
America. One company, in addition to
the publications It Issues here In this court
try, puts practically the same matter pub
lished here every month Into magazines
published in German, in French and In
Spanish, and ships them from here to the
countries speaking those languages. In
France, especially, the American magazine
ha a larger circulation than almost any
French fashion magazine. Some of '.he
material used In the American publication
Is changed In the foreign publications, es
pecially the fiction matter, to suit the
tastes of the different nationalities; but
the fashion matter remains almost Intact.
Hew Patterna Are Made.
The paper pattern begins Its being, of
course, with a design, and these designs
come from various sources, but chiefly
from the corps of regularly employed de
signers who are engaged all the time In
finding new Ideas that will be of practical
value. There are a number of these de
signers In New York, and some scattered
In foreign center to catch fresh hints
there. Some of their designs are original,
some are copied from models seen In shop
or caught sight of on the street, perhaps.
A suggestion taken from this and another
from that and the pattern is planned.
Models are often subml.ted from the out
side, and if thought worth while are ac
cepted. After the pattern has been ap
proved a copy of the gown, skirt, waist or
whatever It happens to be, is made up on
a living model and adjusted until It Is
found thoroughly practical. It Is then
taken to pieces and the first pattern Is cut
of heavy cardboard paper. The various
sixes are then computed, which is no small
problem In Itself. When that has been
attended to, and the original pattern
tested, found satisfactory and marked
with guiding directions, tt Is taken to the
cutting room, where tne patterns are
struck off. There 600 girls and twenty
eight men are constantly at work supply
Ing the demands for patterns that stream
In from all parts of the world. All the
cutting Is done by hand to Insure exact
ness, and the utmost care has to be ex
ercised to get every notch and every dot
In just the exact place, else the dress will
go awry and complaints will begin pouring
In. Th heavy pattern Is laid down on th
big tables that stretch through th long
room and th worker bend over them,
quickly outlining with pencils, or cutting
with (harp knives along the sides of th
original pattern, th knives going through
a thickness of some 0 sheets of tissue
paper at once. There are Instruments to
cut the round holes, and machines to prick
the letters of directions Into the paper.
The different parts of the same pattern
are l.iid on long .sticks, something like
these that papers are filed on. gnd they
are all put together ready to be sent to
the folding department.
Kin Thensead Eight Ha ad red Rises.
Along the walls of tlte cutting depart
ment .hang th various heavy patterns,
representing th stock In trade, some four.
Imu hundred different style In all. and
1.80 sir?. The parts art strung together
on heavy twine, and hang there like dum

period and discarded. Th life of th long

ttghteen months; other after a much

Is so sought after that the no girls, rut-
:ing all day long, cannot supply th de
manna for . Other are the well flowers
f fashion, appealing only to the few, and
soon fsding Into hopeless oMIvloo.
In the folding department, where the pat
terns gt after being cut. there Is another
small army of girls at work. The various
parts of a pattern are put before them Just
as they com from the cutting department.
With trained swiftness they gather up the
different P"rt snd with the Bid of metftl
folders gather th tissue pieces Into the re
quired else. After the folding 'here is the
Inhellng snd the final wrapplt.g to lie dona
before the pattern Is ready to be offered
for sale. The whole process Is gone
hroiigh with great quickness. Sometimes
rush demand comes In from the order

by I In the afternoon .the stock of pat-
erns is ready and out on the delivery

In the various departments of the build
ing, the literary, the printing department
and all, thero are between 2,000 and -J.OOO
workers employed, all busied with it he task
of oiling the great machinery of fashion.'
In the smaller factories where patterns
are furnished to the papers and magasines
the plan of the establishments Is much the
me as In the larger plant: at least the
modus operandi Is. The patterns, planned
for this purpose, above all things, must be
simple, and must be practical. They have
to be thoroughly tested befor they are sent
out. The designer must have a new design
ready each day, so as to have a 'fresh fash-
Ion greet the readers of the paper every
afternoon or every morning. To do thi
keeps her wits and her fingers busy. She
has to be constantly on the outlook for new
Ideas to use in her work. From the desire
a model Is made up on dressmakers forms,
usually, though for the children's clothes
the little people themselves are brought In
frequently to try on. Then the artist
sketches the model. In the same way as In
the larger factory, the patterns nre struck
off. From the artlxt's sketch line drawings
and half-tone mats are made, the half-tones
for the magasines and the line drawings for
the newspapers. Each week seven of these
mats, with accompanying descriptions, nro
sent out to the papers the concern furnishes
designs to.. . .
The orders for the patterns all come
through the paper, so that the pattern
company comes little In contact with Its
customers. Occasionally, however, letters
trickle In from patrons not in touch with
publications or from soma person wishing
to come direct to headquarters with de
mands or complaints. Home of those let
ters are curious specimens, such as one re
ceived recently by a well-known concern
from a woman asking advice on how to
"shorten a child." The young woman In
charge of the correspondence . was unmar
ried, and the question puzzled- her. She
thought It over carefully, trying not to
call In outside help, but Anally bad to sub
mit It to the office force. A practical
married man solved the question quickly.
The woman meant how to put the baby In
short clothes. The Information was duly
given.
A design plainly marked "One-piece
Apron" was among those sent out by this
same company, and shortly after an indig
nant letter came front a patron. All the
pattern had not been sent to her: there
was only one piece of it, and unless money
were refunded at once she would circulate
rumors about the pattern company among
all her friends. A careful letter wa writ

pattern to read the directions on the out

The modern car of Juggernaut Is th

Its tbousandar-nay, Its tens of thousands
In th Vnlted States. During the last year
8,7S perwins were killed on the Iron roads
of this country and S5.4M were Injured.
Think of It! A total of S9.264 persons
killed and Injured on the railroads' of' ihe
l?nlted States In a Single twelvemonth. In
the bloody Crimean conflict the British
lost a.OOO In slain and wounded hardly
more than a third of h number killed,
maimed and mangled on our railways dur
ing th last year. At the battle of Sedan,
which sealed the fate of the Second Em
pire In France, the' losses on both sides
were much less than the killed anl
wounded on the rail In thi country last
year. Wellington won Waterloo and
Mead Gettysburg with losses of 23,185 and
23,008, respectively, and the total loss or.
both sides at Shlloh In the two days' mur
derous fight did not reach 24.000.
Railroads in foreign countries Inflict no
such wholesale slaughter: They have ac
cidents, but comparatively few of them,
and with no loss of life and limb compara
ble to that suffered In the United State.
Why Is this so? Mainly because the rail
ways are compelled to adopt safety con-
trlvanoes and other precautions for the pro
tection of passengers and employes.
For one thing, the railroads of the
I'nlted States ought- to be compelled to
adopt a standard car car, that Is to say.
which Is standard In strength, weight and
capacity. , The Interstate Commerce com
mission is f the opinion that this precau
tion alone would save more than' half of
(be lives now lost by disastrous collisions.
The fact Is that oars can be made accident-proof
to a great extent. Indeed, the
vehicles which we call parlor cars corre
spond In a measure to this description.
Statistics carefully compiled prove that of
two passengers who board g train together,
he who enters a "palace" coach has only
one chance of getting hurt before his jour
ney's end against thirty-six chances for his
feUow-Deaaenger who takes one of the
common coaches. Thus It would appear
that the best possible accident Insurance

At the same time, under present condi

of lire end limb.' In paae of accident they
smash and telescope the lighter snd
weaker coaches. What, then, I th moral?
It I (Imply that all the car on a given
train should be of the same weight and
strength. For safety It Is not necessary
that they should be very heavy; the weight
of parlor cars Is Isrgely In their ornamental
work. And theyheed not cost much more
than ordinary cars.
The chief victims of tlie railway Jugger.

this city recently, considerable time wss
given up to the discussion of th matter of
ventilation and sanitation of trains.
The matter of tho vitiated and germ
laden air in trains, or the strong drafts
when windows or ventilators are opened to
correct this, was much dwelt upon and the
fact that as yet ho good system of car
ventilation had been hit upon was much
deplored.
Yet while the health experts discussed
this matter. Just such a system as they
seemed to desire had already been devised
and proven effective by exhaustive tests.
The plaint of the American Public Health
association merely voiced the cry which
has been going up for years and years In
relation to street car and railroad train
ventilation, but the new device referred to
seem to have effectually settled the diffi
culty and, a problem which for years rail
road men huve said could not be sur
mounted.
Practically speaking, this new device is
but the application to cars of the cold-air
box principle of th common house furnace,
but when applied to a moving railroad trnln
or street car. Its effectiveness Is way be
yond the wildest dreams of the originator
of that familiar idea. '
Louis C. Lanphear of Boston , is the In
ventor of the system, which he devised
some years ago and has been perfecting
since. He has been a traveling salesman
for over a quarter of a. century and has
put up with a much of railroad train ven
tilation defects as most ordinary mortal.
His system Is nothing more or leas than
a small conduit running along either side
of the monitor top to the car, the ventila
tors In tho monitor opening into this con
duit. At either end of the conduit are two
openings, the first of these being on the
outside nf the conduit and placed a trifle
more than a foot from the end.
8wlvellng from this opening is a slat or
deflector, which allows tho air to enter the
opening as the car is In motion and to pass
through tile second opening at the extreme
end of the conduit. Tho lids to these open
ings are controlled by levers operated from
the car vestibule.
When the car Is in motion the forward
openings In the conduits are kept closed
and those In the rear end of the conduit are
opened .more or less In accordance with the
speed at which the car Is traveling. This
allows the current of air deflected by the
swlvellng slat or deflector to pass through
the extreme end of the conduit, creating
suction ' which draws all the . vitiated air
from the interior of tho car up arid .through
th ventilators opening Into- the conduit.
and tills bad sir Is shot out the end open
ing. ;' , '
To replace the .bad air whioh he has
drawn oft from the car with good fresh
osone, tbe igventor has placed a email air
register at the end of the car. and this al
lows a flow of air to run between the outer
and Inner shells of the car structure and
through a pipe passing beneath the radia
tors. Directly under each radiator the air
pipe Is perforated so that the cold air In
entering the car must pass , through th
hot' radiators and thus become warmed be
fore being distributed about the car.
That is all there Is to the system, aud It
Is the very, simplicity of the Idea which In
sures Its success. The supply of fresh air
entering-the car Is-regulated by a valve and
Is under perfect control by the car crew at
all times.
By this system, which Mr. Lan'phear has
Invented, the air In the car Is kept fresh
and wholesome at all times, and this Is ac
complished without drafts. It Is a well
known principle that . fresh air ran be
heated more readily than vitiated air, and
It Is said that this Is the reason why with
the Inphear system Installed In a street
car the latter' can be heated with an ex
penditure of 60 per cent leas, electricity
than Is at present needed. Two nvin can
apply the system to any street car Inside
of ft single day and at a cost the Inventor
claims, not exceeding zisHoeton Glob.
