s There is not single feature of japanese
woman life but appears most objection
able; and, like the laws affecting women
generally, the code of Japanese female
etiquette requires radical revision. Take
that nasty practice of blackening the
teeth, the sign of a married lady. OF
course, there are numbers of late years
who have adopted European fashions,
wives and daughters mostly of japanese,
who have become imbued with Occidental
ideas, or of men educated abroad or hav-
ing travelled in Europe. These have given
up the practice, but in the cases of the
vast majority of young girls, no sooner
does "Mr. Fikoyemonn make an offer of
marriage-which is done by fastening q
branch Of particular shrub to the house
of her parents-than the damsel, if the
gentleman is accepted, becomes entitled to
dye her molars and grinders and pluck
out her eyebrows. And the compound
employed to dye the teeth is most vii
famous mixture, often corroding the lips
and gums and making the gangrened
mouth of a japanese lady look like the
sepulcher of all beauty"
No less Objectionable is the custom
which compels young beauty of Fi-gen
to dye her hps furious red, and hide the
natural carnation of her cheek beneath q
layer of violet paint. 1t is unnecessary to
say that there is much in Japanese eti-
quette and custom which is ingrained in
the character Of the people, and will
change only slowly and in the course Of
many years.-Home Journal.

A NIGHT REvEaY.

Right hung 50 still upon her outstretched wings,
The very silence of the distant spheres
Seemed scorn Of me: 1 saw the shuttled years
Weave out again the awful sufferings
OF burdened souls; l saw in orbit rings
Vast globes move on among their mighty peers,
And said: What care have these for mortal
tearss
What power has life crushed down by lfeless
things!
The moon rose up beneath the naples red,
And sent glow Of light along the glen;
A bird broke out in joyous song that sped
Through all the wood in melody, and then
A voice unbound my fettered heart and said:
The spheres are naught compared with living
men.

The Cry Of tho isanshee.

There is now living in Bristol Mrs.
Linahan, an old Irish woman, who has
not seen her own country for forty years.
She is old, poor, bed ridden and suffering,
but patient and cheerful beyond belief.
Her strongest feeling is love for Ireland,
and she likes talking to me because am
Irish. Many time, sitting in her little,
close room, above the noisy street. she has
told me about banshees and phookas and
fairies, especially the first. She declares
solemnly she once heard the cry, or caoin
of q banshee.
''It was when I was a little young
child" she told me, land knew nothing
at all Of banshees, or of death. One day
mother sent me to see after my grnnd-
mother, the length of three miles from
our house. AL the road was deep in snow,
and went my lone-and didn't know the
grandmother was dead, and my aunt gone
to the village for help. So l got to the
house, and see her lying so still and
quiet thought she was sleepin'. When
called her and she wouldn't stir or speak,
l thought I'd put snow on her face to
wake her. just stepped outside to get o
handful, and came in, leaving the door
open, and then / heard far away cry, SO
faint and yet SO fearsome that I shook
like leaf in the wind. 1t got nearer and
nearer, and then l heard q sound like
clapping or wringing of hands, as they do
in kneeling at funeral Twice it came
and then slid down to the ground and
crept under the bed where my grand
mother lay, and there heard it for the
third time crying, 'Ochone, ochone, at the
very door. Then it suddenly stopped;
couldn't tell where it went, and dared
not lift up my head till the woman came
in the house. One of them took me up
and said: 1t was the banshee the child
heard, for the woman that hes there was
one of the real old Irish familes-she was
an OGrady and that was the raison of
it. '"-EngIsh Magazine

GeoHrDphfcal Haxiness.

A surprising ignorance in geographical
matters prevails even among people of cul-
ture. Many examples Of this have been
lately collected by Col. Sir Charles War
rem. In one case an educated surveyor
could not free himself Of the idea that
Paris was north of London, and another
located the ives, end of London toward the
eastern coast. Out Of thirty vel in
structed men, from IS to 20 wears
old, about eighteen were under
the impression that while the sun rises in
the east, the stars rise in the west-Ar.

THE sAxoN's SIMPLE WAYS.
How tho Village Folk Assist Each Other
Out In the Fields.


Out In the Fields.
The author Of Life and Society in
Eastern Europe gives lively picture of
the primitive customs still kept up among
the Saxon settlers in Hungary. The
reader who is acquainted with the clog
rollings," the ''huskings," and the '!apple
bees" which are really society matters in
the new settlement of this country, will
be interested in these eastern occasions as
perhaps the originals of similar institu-
tions here. The authors Saxon host,
after speaking Of the gypsies and the Wal
lacks as common farm hands, goes on to
explain how the Saxons contrive to
make themselves independent of such
help:
They do the drudgery for US; but plow-
ing, sowing, moving and reaping, being
honorable and manly labor, we do our
selves by mutually assisting one another
throughout the busy seasons of the year.
AS soon rs the service is over in the
church of a Sunday our honorable
mayor addresses the honorable neigh
bors," assembled in the church porch on
rainy weather and under one Of the
trees in the church Enclosure when fine.
He tells them, for instance, that, as it
is the season Of the year when this or
that sort of work ought to be done,
Widow Breitlachner's fields must be at
tended to first, or whatever other widows
and orphans fields have to be plowed,
sowed, or moved, and then it is decided
among US honorable neighbors" that so
many of us shall attend to the widows
and orphans crops on the morrow.
BY dint of mutually assisting one an
other, all the outdo"~ farm work which
we cannot intrust to the Wallacks is got
through, for all SaxUns are good neigh
bors, and the interests of all are studied
just as though they were brothers. The
hay making seasons are the busiest of the
whole year.
We are out in the fields all day, and on
moonlight nights all night too, and only
sleep during q few hours in the hottest
part of the day, or before the rising of
the moon. The old men of the village re-
main over night to look after the safety
of our wives and children, and dozen or
more of them are told off to wander about
the streets throughout the night to keep a
sharp lookout against the breaking out of
fire or the attack Of robbers.
Some of them are mounted when on
patrol, and they all carry rms with
them, which they blow at stated inter-
walls, in order that we, away in the mead
ows moving, may know that they are
keeping vigilant watch, and that all at
home are safe. There is the alarm horn
blown from the church tower in case of
anything happening, and on hearing that
VIC all rush home to the rescue. 1t is an
old custom which has been in vogue
among US for centuries, but it is an ex-
cellent one for all that.-Youth's Com
