Japanese Tea Houses.

A tea house Of Japan is but one
story high, with a nicely matted porch,
from the co-ners of which depend the
omnipresent Japanese paper lanterns.
We catch a glimpse Of the interior,
and are amazed at the simplicity Of the
appointments, although this is M Of
the better class of inns. The floor
within is covered with the universal
japanese mats, always three feet by
six inches indimensions, and, therefore,
used as as a matter Of convenience Tor
household measurement purposes. |
have also learned that the fans in use
in this county, with a view to the
same utility, are usually made Just me
foot in length The mats are scrupu-
lousy clean, and il seems entirely APP
propriate that we remove our shoes, in
obedience to the prevalent custom, be-
fore entering. The only remaining
article of furniture are some scrolls
which hang on the walls, and the com.
mon sliding screens, which are used foI
converting the interior of a Japanese
house into just as many and such
shaped apartments as the owner pleases.
This is a respect in which Japanese
convenience goes beyond American
convenience, though l am not at all in
doubt as to which way | prefer.
A party Of European tourists are
laboriously ''squatting' about som {
little tables, one for each guest, and
slipping tea from tiny decorated cups.
On the table are also very small dishes
of cenfe ctionery and sweetmeats. Fol
walters we observe modest, ever-smIl-
ing, clean looking japanese maidens,
who.are profuse in their demonstrations
of civility. Indeed, we are tempted to
call it palavering before we become
accustomed to the ways of the people.
The premises about the tea-house are
converted into a pretty garden, with
rockeries and cascades, thus giving US
a sample of the landscape gardening for
which the japanese have become so
Il ~orably famous.

Women who Tell Their Ages.

The common objection, among
womankind to letting their ages be
known is not shared by the ladies' of
Japan, who actually display the fact as
to their age in the arrangement Of their
hair. Girls from nine to fifteen wear
their hair lnterlaced with red Grape.
describing a half-eircle around the
head. the forehead being left free with
a curl at each side. From fifteen to
thirty the hair is dressed very high on
the forehead, and put up at the back in
the shape of a fan or butterfly, with
i~nterlacings of silver cord and a deco
ration of eol0red balls. Beyond thirty
a woman twists her hair ronnd a shell
pin placed horizontally at the back of
of the head. Widows also designate
themselves, and whether or not they
desire to marry again. One may COM

honesty of the Japanese a story told in
one of the American papers of the re-
luctance of American women To adopt
any such candid policy. A theatrical

Worry.

Worry Is the great American dis
ease. Our people have seen rail split
tiers and canal boys become presidents.
Here nothing is too great for any one's
aspiration. Boys in cabins look out of
dingS windows and see palaces. Push,
pluck, 9fnd stjck-to-itiveness will reach
across some few years, and hand them
the keys of the palace. Before youth
is out of his short clothes he wants an
ermine. He rushes into business life
with the ~ferceness of Jobs war horse.
He assumes responsibilities, he accepts
dangerous risks, he spe~culates on almost
futile chances. There is nc peace, no
rest, no content. They all 60 storming
on. Competition is fierce; the phan-
toms of failure are ever plGcklng at
their heels. On their onward course to
the beckoning god on Famo's misty,
toil-worn mount they stumble across
and around wrecks failures. America
is a generous, patient mother. One
son gains a cottage, then wants a man

Worrying over responsibilities too
great TO be assumed, worrying over
chances, worrying over debt, worrying
over failure IS, worrying over the luck of
your neighbors. worrying over unreal
lied hopes, worrying for impossible
ties. We all cannot be Caesars. Study
your environments. Study yourself
"a sui ject of which most people are pro-
foundry ignorant. Your duty and sue
cess in life depend on knowing yourself
and your true relations to others. If
you know these and act wisely you will
never worry.

L remember Mr.. Monroe very well,
says a writer from Washington. He
was rather an u~npretentious person,
kind in manner, conversed freely with
every one, and invited familiarity by
the freedom of his way. The custom
of receiving New Years calls was then
of recent origin. Nc. Madison, | be-
lieYe, first introduced it in 1910. He
had introduced the ceremony in New
York some years previous, and was
pleased with it. No one could have
fathered such a custom better than he,
or appreciated the cordiality of the oc-
casion. His entertainments were
marked with hospitality and Iberahty

school. 1t would be amusing to
the present generation to have seen linn

dered wig, a thoroughbred Virginia
gentleman, and endowed with great
powers Of conversation. However, his
appearance did not strike the eorrespon-
dent of the Edinburgh Review favor
ably, who: when asked what he thought
of the President, said: "Mr. Madison
looked like a scilool-master dressed up
for a funeral"

the most popular lady who ever pre-

her fond hopes should have been bligh-

Todd, who, in III way, squandered
her estate, worth 500, 900 or more, and
thus left her in an impoverished condl-
