The Mikado and the Shotgun.

st. Nicholas.
Twenty-one years ago the Emperor of
Japan was mere figurelIead. and his
predecessors for more than 500 years
had been little more. They lived in
strict seclusion and exercised no ruling
power. Only few mobiles of the high
est rank had the privilege Of beholding
the emperor's face. The Japanese
throne has never been banded about
from one dynasty to another.
Their history begins 2.549 years ago,
before Northumberland conquered the
Jews. During this time 1913 sovereigns
have sat on the throne, nine OF whom
have been women; aud all have be-
longed to this one dynasty. 1t is a
namelesS dynasty, for it is beyond the
need of a family name. The form of
government was all absolute monarchy,
and the early emperOrs were the direct
executive heads. The empire was
divided into gun (go0n), or provinces,
and these subdivided into ken. This
was called the gun-ken system, and the
whole was under the rule of the en-
peror.
There was from early times, Ihogun
or general; but at first his power was
small. YOrit0mo. one of the most cele-
famed great pewer during a civil war in
the twelfth century by restoring order
and establishing firm government. He
became the most powerful subject in
the empire, and the Mikaao appointed
him Sci Iai Shotgun (say ii shogoon) in
1892 This title means 'Barbarian-
qAieIling Great General y and it was the
greatest honor that could be bestowed
on a subject. The whole country was
placed under military rule. and this was
the beginning. of the double system of
Japanese government. Gradually more
and more power was concentrated in
the ShOgun's hands, while only empty
dignities and numerous titles were left
to the emperor.
That ''Son of Heaven" however, all
rank and dignity and though the Of
rank and dignity; and though the Of
flee of Shotgun became hereditary in
certain families, and though the Sho-
gun lived with the pOmp and splendOr
of liking. he always owed his appoint
Sumed the prOtectorShip of the emperor.
This form of government was called
the ShOgunate.
Under this double system Of govern
ment, the mikado and the shogul, the
outside world supposed there were two
emperors, one a spiritual, the other a
temporal emperor. This temporal
emperor" was merely the mikadO's gen.
eral. The mikadO, the ''Son Of Heaven
lived at Kioto, city beautifully sitli-
ated, in palace much like a temple in
outward appearance, but with little of
the splendor of European palace.

seemIy for the semi-divinity of royalty.
The Slogan lived at Yeddo, which was
thus the real seat of government.

Greater Than Niagara.

st. LOUIS P0St-DlSpatcn.
A hunting party returned from the
mountains north of the Grand river yes
terday and reported the discovery of a
wonderful waterfall hitherto unknown.
Though not equal to Niagara in volume
it was thought to exceed it in beauty.
The place is on Rifle Creek, twenty-five
miles from here, and is supposed to
have never been visited by white men
before. The stream spreads out to a
width of 300 feet at the brink. and the
water glides over the edge, spreading
out into a thin sheet as it falls dis
lance of $50 feet to the bottom of the
canyon. directly underneath. The
party dismounted, and carefully creep
ing along the perpendicular wall, passed
behind the aquatic tapestry into hooks
and caverns beneath the overhanging
lodges. The walls and arches were
thickly studded with stalactite and
stalagmite formations of rare beauty.
1t is without doubt the finest waterfall
in Colorado. The discoveries say the
volume of water falls softly over the
ledge and gracefully dissolves into mist
before reaching the bottom. A party is
being organized to visit the spot, and it
is thought to name it Rocky Mountain
Falls.

THE WORLDS GOOD WOMEN.

Good women are sentinels; in the darkest of
earth's night
They hold with stout hearts. silently. life's
Outposts towards the light,
And at God Almighty's roll-call, 'mong the
hosts that answer Here
The voices of good women sound strong,
and sweet and clear.
Good women are brave soldiers; in the thick
est of the fight
They stand with stout hearts patiently en-
battled for the right,
And tho no blare Of trumpet or roll of drum
is heard.
Good women the world over are an army of
the Lord.
Good women save the nation, though they
bear not sword or gun;
Their panoply is righteousness; their will
with Gods as one.
Each in her single person revealing God on
cath,
knowing that so. and only so, is any life of
worth.
r
Dost talk of woman's weakness! / tell you
that this hour
The weight of this worlds future depends
upon their power:
And down the tracks of ages, as Times flood
tides are told,
The level of thei: night is marked by the
place that women hold.

HER BOY.
How She Kept Home for Him to

Chicago Herald.
A white-haired woman, einhty-six
years old, the greater portion of whose
life was spent at the hardest toll, was
turned out on the street Monday after
noon. without money and without hope.
Two neighbors. a family almost as poor
as herself. took the unfortunate old
woman off the street. and to share their
crust and the warmth of their fire. Mrs.
Augusta LOchman left ner home in Al
tenberg, SaXony, with her husband and
tWo boys, about thirty-seven years ago,
and came to America. Soon after her
husband died and left her to bring up her

but she washed and scrubbed while her
boys went to school and learned their
trades. Her elder son married, and the
other. her favorite, took to drink. Mrs.
Lockman was growing old now, and
her daughter-in-law offered her home.
but she would have nothing to do with
her prOfligate son. The old woman
Would not leave her boy. He drank
heavily, and afforded her no help, but
she must keep home for him, she said.
and she did, toiling Oh. day after day,
that she might have CHEEKY fire and
good supper for him it he came
home, and that she might spend
the night in sleepleSs watch
ing for him if he did not. So it went on
until the old hands could no longer do
their wonted work. and rheumatism
crept into the aged frame. Then she
had to leave her comparatively COM

who lived Oh Rees street, block and a

she could not work longer, and she lay
down on her poor bed racked with
pains, and with no one to cheer her or
care for her. She might have had a
home with her daughter-in-law still.
but she felt that she must keep a home
for her boy, now man Of forty,
but still boy to her. Rent day
came and went, and Monday two men
came and threw her furniture, her
stove and her few books into the street.
Even the bed on which she was lying
was taken to the sidewalk, and the poor,
old woman hobbled out, leaning on her
stick. Her neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. AL
