From a Recent Japan Letter.
The Empress Haru is slight little woman not
five feet In height. She has the pale, yellow
skin, the finely cut features and long oval face
of the high-caste Japanese. Although a friend
to all progressive movements, the patron and
instigator of many reforms and advancement
and a woman of surprisingly modern views, the
empress still blackens her teeth in the old STYLE
above those that she dutifully shaved at mar
rage. Beyond jeweled ornament fastened
above her brow her costume and couture did
not differ at all from that of the ladies sur
rounding her, and at distance the parasol was
her only distinguishing mark. Nearer there was
a majesty OF demeanor, a dignity of presence,
an impressive, intangible something, that
divinity of ruler, and had she stood in the gar
den alone she would have been as i'm
pressive In manner and much a sover-
eign when surrounded by her suite
with court and strangers bowling low. The EN-
press wore the red slippers and skirt, and a
kimono OF rich blush purple silk, brocaded
with large moon figures in pale coIors. The
pointed neck was filed with folds of white silk,
and she balanced in her hand an umbrella OF
the purplish silk embroidered all over with wis
taria. She passed straight on to the long mar
quee tent, and, giving her parasol to her at
tendant, entered and sat alone in a thronelike
chair before large oval table. Her sixteen at
PENDANTS stood in a picturesque and brilliant
line behind her, and the diplomats, the other
ladies and mobiles seatad at little tables be-
low her. The palace attendants served the COM
pany to the elaborate collation. of everything
boned, jellied and iced, and truffied, the beau
tIful set pieces were broken up, and champagne
frothed in thin crystal glasses craven with the
imperial crest of the SiXteen-petalled chrysan-
themum. Ever one served quietly and
decorously, the bands played, there was the
subdued hum of soft, low voices in conyersa-
ton, and one by one the Empress summoned
the wives of the foreign ambassadors and min
listers TO her for a lew gracious words.

CalifOrnia'S Better Day.

From the San Francisco Bulletin, April l..
There was time when the two extremes
OF wealth and poverty were more prominent
here than in any other state. That was an in
cident OF the great mineral discoveries which
brought the first population to the coast. The
dream of high strikes, of sudden wealth, of
mines which make mfllionaires in a day, is
pretty we'll over. The population has settled
DOWN to the business OF making permanent
homes, to small industries where labor is
creating capital in ways which attract little at
tention. To-day the winning men in California
are composed OF that class who have not yet
escaped the exactions of daily industry. They
win slowly but surely. They take no unneces-
sary risks. They are not making haste to be rich
in ieverish sense. The solid middle class is to-
day the hope OF the state-the class which is
augmented by many thousands from year to
year, and which is patiently working out sue
cess all over the state. This producing class is a
rapidly growing one. 1t will be augmented by
a large body OF Immigrants who, having some
means at the start, lind here one OF the best
markets tor labor in the world The losing and
failing element in California never was rela-
lively so small as it is to-day, and the prosper
Gus element OF population never was greater
