UMHRFLLAS.
Although unibrellns have been in
use since time immemorial, they have
received less chanire and improve
ment at the hands of the inventor
than any other equally common arti
cle. Yet the patent office ferqaent.ly
records inventions designed to remUv
the umbrella more efficient.
A patent granted recently, if it
conies into Keueral use, will Vut the
old umbrella mechanic completely
out of business by enabling any men
to repair his own umbrella. A special
sliding holder, jroine; up and down the
staff of the umbrella, permits the
ribs to be sprunjr in and out by an
ingeniously devised joint. When the
fibs become broken they can be slip
ped out and new ones put in place.
All that is necessary is a supply of
these specailly designed ribs and the
corresponding slide attachment to
hold them into place. A trust of wind
mijrht turn your umbrella inside out;
yet with this device you could repair
't in five minutes. Atlanta Journal.

Storm Brewing in China.
Advice from the Far Fast convey
the information that Southern China,
the worthient and most progressive
part of that va t country, it by no
mean taking kindly to Yuan Shi
Kai'a proposal that the empire he fe
atured with himself ns emperor. That
is no more than natural for a variety
of rensona. One does not need to
know anything at all about political
or economic conditions in China to
day in order to feel tolerably cer
tain that Yuan Shi Kai's scheme,
whether it be a wise one or not, is
not going to be put through without
stirring up considerable commotion
To feel tolerably certain of that one
needs merely to have a casual ac
quaintanee with history.
Empires are not metamorphosed
into republics; republics are not me
tamophosed into empires by men sit
ting peacefully about a council table.
These metamophoses are not brought
about smoothly and peacefully by
common consent, or by the will of
the people recorded at the ballot
box, the minority yielding gracefully
to the majority. Such a change
that Yuan Shi Kai proposes can be
worked only through bloodshed, only
through viole-tce. To that conclusion
the great weight of precedent forces
us and from tt there is no escape,
that would bt true even if China
wf r it vf;i.l4i.jie is. China being
what she isa nation the whole his-
tuiy of" which has consisted of one
bloody upheaval after another it
all the more certainly true.
South China's opposition to Yuan
program is a symptom. Presently
the storm will break; and whatever
emerges from it whether it be a re
stored empire or a new republic
will be covered with blood. Charles

COMPETITION IN SAVING.

A Challenge a Wife Accepted and a
Contest In Economy.
The following Is au account of what
competition did toward encouraging a
bank account:
"I am on a newspaper. I have al
ways made a salary In excess of sim
ple living requirements, but I was a
free spender and did not save.
"A baby came, and I felt an added
responsibility. I was afraid actually
frightened for the tirst time in my life.
Then I gave the mutter of saving some
thought, but I could not decide uhiu
any course of action.
"At the olllce one day u business dis
cussion made me see that what I need

"That night on my arrival home 1
said to my wife that I would, begin

of my salary and I would keep the
other half, and we each take an equal ;
share of the household expenses. j
"At the end of the first mouth I left 1

wanted to surprise her. That evening
she handed It to nie and said she

her closely, 1 saw that she realized she ;
was challenged. She did Hot speak, 1
however, of any intention she might
have had In mind.

ly the full moon could, and occasion
