JAPANESE WOMEN.

The Japanese women are usually small
and duInpy, but often very beautiful,
with small hands and feet, and are ex-
ceedingly neat in dress and couture.
Their hair is not, as is generally suppos-
ed, true black, but is very dark
brown, in some instances is pronounc-
ed red. It's blackness, and, unfortunate
ly, coarseness also, is promoted by the
custom of shaving the heads of children
from their very birth. 1t is made TO ap-
pear very black and glossy by the use
of unguents and bandoline made from
mucilagious plant. Like the other sex
land this custom is universal among
people of every age in Japan they
battle daily in hot water, a public bath
costing only half cent. Since 1868 the
Government has prohibited the promis-
cuous bathing of both sexes. formerly
common. The women above 20 years
old, from time immemerial have black
ened their teeth with mixture of gals
and powdered iron; but the Empress
does not, and many ladies are now aban-
doning the fashion. The former custom
of married women shaving off their eye
brows is also falling into disuse. The
peculiar style of couture at once distin-
guishes Japanese maiden, wife, widow
or prostitute. All women are carefully
educated in household duties; but the
lower classes acquire very little book
learning, though nearly all women can
read and write. The young ladies of
the higher classes devote much time to
fancy work, their bright colored robes
being embroidered with gay silks and
gold. They are carefully taught from
various books devoted to the duties of
wife, mother and housekeeper. The
three principal duties as set forth in
volume entitled, 'Woman's Great Study
are: 1. Obedience to parents when
child. 2. Obedience to her husband
when wife. 8. Obedience to her old
est son when a widow. Half their edu-
cation is in books of etiquette. There
is no distinction made between polite
ness and morals. Lying, cheating, de-
ceiving, slandering, and like vices are
mot polite" and so are not permissible.
Girls thus scrupulously brought up
make the best of women and of wives.
Tie now constantly enlarging intercourse
between Japan and the Western powers
leads to the hope that some of the refine
ments of japanese civilization viii even
tually reach other countries.--So,,
Francisco Cal.

m ruth - and with this parting injunct-
ion he strides gloomily out into the
darkness. It is not exactly known what
| he is thinking of as he moves along, but
it is doubtless of the near approach OF
| Sabbath. As he comes into the light OF
the stores it is evident that bright infiu-
ences and tender memories and glad an

| his heart, for he meets Parks with a
| smile, and after a pleasant chat about
| the winters prospects they part laugh

| fall, and that's when he goes In after
| her hat and when he gets the shoes. A
| half-hour later he is in the grocery sit
ting on barrel, while his goods are be-
ing put up, and carrying on an animated
discussion with the grocer and. several
acquaintances. At nine o'clock he starts
for home. He has several receipted bills
in his pocket-each of which being in
excess, of course, OF what his wife estl
mated before he left home; and as he
struggles along with an aching arm, and
stumbles against various distractions,
he remembers it is Saturday night, the
end of the week of toll, and tries to re-
call bits of verses and sentences of beau
tiful sentiment appropriate to the hour.
He don't believe in grumbling at every
body, and SO he reserves his trouble
with the grocery bill, his indignation at
the milliner, and the various annoyances
he has been subjected to until he gets
home, and then he hurls his thunder at
all these people and objects through the
head of his wife. And she, the dear
companion of his life, having got the
children from back of the stove and to
bed, by the hair, and discovered that he
has fargotten the matches, and got more
bone than meat in the steak, is fully
prepared to tell him just what she thinks
of him,
And while they talk, the flame in the
stove dances happily, the lamp sheds a
rich, soft glow over the room, and the
colors in the carpet and in the pictures.
and the reflective surfaces of the mantel
ornaments, blend into scene of quiet
beauty. It is the night before the Sab

GLASS was first moulded instead of
blown. Writers in the fourth century
were the first to say anything of it and
then it was only casually mentioned
as ''the soul sees objects through the
eyes of the body as through a window
furnished with glass; When the open
ings for admitting light first began to be
covered with something, waxed linen or
oiled paper was in common use, while
for the dwelling of the royal and most
patrician, very thin shell was used in
small quantities, and also a certain
'twhite stone," formed from leaves of
talic, such as is still found in the houses
of the peasantry of Russia.
It has long been a question whether
glass was in use in ancient Rome for win
dows, but by late discoveries in the ruins
of Pompeii it is evident that there was
window glass, but that it was moulded
instead Of blown.
Glass-blowing was known in France as
early as the thirteenth century, and yet
so rude was the art that for two hun
dred years after it was rarely seen even
in royal palaces. When the Duchess of
Berry retired to the chateau of Mont
pensier special mention is made of the
waxed linen in her window sash. Even
at the end of theeighteenth century there
were men in the provincial cities of
France who followed the profession of
chassissiers-thati is, the profession of
FASTING oiled paper in window sash.
Parchment and oil have also been used
to admit hight. In Japan now, trans
parant paper nearly like white silk is in
use. It seems difficult to believe that
what seems now SO indispensable to our
comfort, was until SO short time since
a great luxury.
