HINTS FROM The JAPANESE.


How We Gould learn from the Nfikado'u
People 20 simplify Our Homes.
We have been looking at some japan
csc dwellings, interiors. How simple
they are! how little furniture or adorn-
ment! how few thing to care for and
be anxious about. Now the Japanese ars
very ancient people. They are people
Of high breeding, polish. refinement.
They are i'll some respects like the Chi
nese' who have passed through ages and
cycles Of experience. worn out about all
the PHILOSOPHERS and religions then on.
and come out on the other side Of every
thing. They have learned 10 take things
rather easily. not to fret. and To get on
without great many encumhrances that
we still YEARLY carry along.
When we look al the Japanese houses
and at their comparatively simple life,
are We warranted in saying that they are
oehlnd Us III civilizations May it not be
true that they have lived through all our
experience and come down 10 an EASY
modus yivendi: They may have had
their bric-a-brac period, their overload.
ing-establishncnt age, their various
measles stages of civilization before they
reached condition in which life is a
comparatively simple affair. This
thought must strike any one who sees
the present Japanese craze in this coun-
try. For, instead Of adopting the Jap
anese simplicity in our dwellings, we are
adding the Japanese excentricities to our
other accumulations Of odds and ends
from all creation and increasing the in
congruity and the complication Of our
daily life.
What a helpless being is the housewife
IN the midst Of her treasures. The
Drawer has had occasion to speak lately
Of the recent enthusiasm in this country
for the cultivation Of the mind 1t has
become almost fashion. Clubs are
formed for this express purpose. But
what chance is there for it in the in.
creased anxieties Of our more and more
involved and overloaded domestic life;
Suppose we have clubs-Japanese clubs
they might be called-for the simplifica.

OF much Of our embarrassing menage,-

Soldiers Pensions.

There has been considerable agita-
tion since the opening Of the present
congress concerning several pension
bills. One of these is called the Dis-
ability pension bill, which has been
discussed and approved in every G..
A. II. post. But it has not yet been
passed upon a second time, as it was
vetoed by President Cleveland last
year. II is claimed that the need Of
its speedy passage is today much
greater than it was a year ago. for
those il is intended to relieve are
more numerous and more needy than
they were year ago. AT their age o
year brings much addition to their
disabilities and necessities. After
this law has been psssed it is thought
by some that general pension law
ought to be passed, which include 10
It's comprehension provisions every
man who wore the blue honorably,
and did his share toward saving the
nation. II it were possible, such o
pension law should be devised as
would give equitable treatment to all
classes OF it's much deserving defend-
ers' 1t is hardly fair to put the man
who served only three months on a
footing with the veteran who fought
steadily throughout the war, or the
wife and orphans Of one who gave mp
his life on the level with the one who
is yet living. But be that as it may.
We are Of the opinion that every man
who served his ceuntly little or
much is entitled to receive . just re-
ward for the Same. Those who gave
up opportunities, strength and
health. who endured hardships. are
worthy Of . rsoompense.

II is simply question OF labor.
That is all there ia 10 the tariff gues.
tion.-Reducs wages aud we can
complete With England. But then
no fAir.mipdsd manufacturer wants
lis employees to live ON European
wages. He knows foil well that bet
tor service is gotten ont of we'll paid
and well-fed labor than cheap and
ill.fed labor. The right-thinking
man wants to see his laborers COM
fortably situated and conteuted.-
Free trade millionaires, like Con-
gresham Scott, may be satisfied
when they get their laborers down
to 80 cents per day for mining coal,
but a true protectionist is willing
that the laboiing man shall have fair
wages, and hence does not want free
trade.

Sound Teaching.

The Lock Haven Democrat makes
these sensible remarks on disorgan-
izers
We don't admire Democrats So
called who are overlastingly hanging
around the Republican camp nor
do we think much Of Republicans
who do the same thing. Such fell
lows are simply political greasers or
guerillas, the sort OF men who in war
times belong to neither army but
skulk through the woods, get behind
trees and stumps and shoot or stab
You in the back when you are not
expecting an attack the meanest
kind Of warfare and deprecated and
dispised by all right thinking, honor
able men.
These are the sort Of fellows who
frequently bring disaster upon their
party and who cause wrong in many
instances to triumph over right
They are never to be trusted and
should always be Stunned and avoid
ed. In fact they should be sat down
on should be looked upon as poli-
tical and social lepers and banished
from the society Of all men who claim
to be actusted by purity Of motive
and who bave well defined ideas Of
government and mora. obligations.

Death Of Noses Middlsswarth.

The death OF Moses Middleswarth

Beavertown, on Friday night 9ht, at

Ala, 1864, he had just returned from
Gen. John W Gerry's quart, r. and
was telling some of our upper end
boys who had known him at home,
how he had been received Among
other things We remember very dis
tiuctly that Middleswarth said be
told the old General that as soon as
the war would be over and he lived,

would make him their Governor; a

sion on account Of the quaint manner
he had Of expressing himself, and
whenever his battery would pass US
on the march the boys would cheer
him. After the war becoming better
acquainted with him, we frequently
talked with him about the days and
years we spent together in the ser
vice Of Uncle Sam. Daring the day
spent at Beavertown about two
weeks ago we last met him and en-
joyed an hours conversation with
him as our want about army matters.
The old man had been trying for q
long time to get pension but did
not succeed, death coming to his re-.
lief and assuaging those necessities
which the government he had served
SO long and faithfully, failed to satis-
fy. He was laid to rest in the old
cemetery where his ashes will join
their kindred dust, there to remain
until the time that the angel, with
one foot on the sea and the other on
the land shall cry; time is, time was,
but time shall be no more Then
will the gravses give up their dead,
and our old friend with the rest Of
