Japanese Women.

A japanese letter says: The key to the
character Of the japanese women lies in
the word obedience. Ages ago her three
great duties were religiously declared to
be obedience, if daughter, to her father !;
if wife, to her husband: if widow, to
her eldest son. The kid drinks its milk
kneeling," says the japanese proverb-
even the brutes show respect to their pa
rents. So at the viii of her parents the
japanese girl accepts her husband or Joins
the slaves of Aphrodite, and Confucius is
presumably happy at the devotion of his
behests. Her education consists of read
ing and writing, the polite accomplish
ments of dancing and playing on the sam
isen and koto, the reading Of the polite
literature of poetry, the tea ceremonial,
cha-no-vu and the flower ceremonial-all
very civilizing studies, but involving no
development of character.
Marriage is civil contract, without re-
ligious or official ceremony. The ceremo-
MES, which are elaborate, are confined to
the families and friends of the contracting
parties, and the legal recognition takes the
form of registration in the Government
records. Divorce again-the pts aller of
marriages. theoretically easier in Japan
than in Chicago, but as a matter of fact
the Intervention of the families protect the
wife from injustice or caprice in all cases
where husband and wife are respectable
enough to have any family lies at all The
higher you ascend socially the more hos
tile and influential are the forces arrayed
| against divorce. 4 woman may also sue
for divorce from her husband.
Notwithstanding all the foregoing, how
ever, the position of the japanese wife is
higher than any other Oriental country.
She is addressed as o-ku-sama, the honor
able lady of the house, and as a rule every
consideration is accorded to her. Because
of the innate gentleness of the people and
their elaborate and rigorous etiqutte, the
relations of husband and wife are far easier
and happier than the actual facts regulat-
ing them could lead one to suppose. The
wife is faithful to fault, and adultery on
her part is almost unknown. But the
complete civilization of Japan wants for
the enlightenment and greater safeguard
! of its women.

so that more than half the wine now con.
sumed belongs TO the lighter kinds. while
formerly the lighter kinds were only one
third of the whole; that since 1876 the
total consumption of wine has sunk from
100000 gallons TO 100000 gallons.
while the total consumption of the lighter
kind of wines has risen from {, 100000 gal
Ions TO 5000, 900 gallons; that less wine OF
all kinds was consumed last year than in
the previous year. and that the total drink
revenue last year showed falling of
despite the increase in population, the sole
increase being in beer, and that increase
only Iwo-thirds of one per cent.
Such facts show conclusiyelv that in
both Great Britain and the United States
the number OF people who abstain entirely
from the use of liquor is steadily increas-
ing, and that those who use liquor of any
sort are more and more inclined to drop
rum, whisky and brandy for the lighter
wines, ale and beer. That these changes
in habit have already gone far enough to
produce noticeable effects is demonstrated
by the wonderful sobriety Of last week 5
vast crowds. Public opinion now frowns
on drunkenness, and a man suffers serious
udIH Nuo dlloNS Himself 10 pe overcome
by liquor. The next step should be the
organizing of public sentiment which
will suppress the saloon by making it dis
reputable for a man to enter such 4 place.
That the next centennial celebration will
find the United States a nation of total
abstainers, is in the highest degree inn
probable, but II is not too much to hope
that it may find the country, although
consuming a large amount of liquor, freed
from the demoralizing influences of stand

Humor of Irish Blunders

An Irishman, teStifying in a Police
Court, was asked to explain why he had
shown the white feather on a certain
occasion
"'Tis better to be coward for five min
utes than dead all your life" he replied.
Another Irishman, while accompanying Il
fishing party, had 4 bad fall down steep
mountain slope Picking himself up he
devoutly exclaimed: "Glory be to God
that | wasn't walking back over the noun
tains dead man"
The humor Of these blunders lies in the
inability of the speaker TO regard life as
excluding death, and death as excluding
life. But neither of them is nonsensical
expression; on the contrary each illus
trates what an Irish writer says of Irish
blunders. "They are frequently humor-
GUS hyperboleS, and present very often the
most energetic mode Of expressing the
speakers opinion
An Irish peasant talks of a "Sthrong
weakness and says that ''the water is dry
in the river and tells You that the only
way to prevent what's past is to put q stop
to it before it happens" He viii confess
81 can always remember things in adj
vance" or, there / sat, expecting that
every moment would be my next" and
describe drops Of rain as varying in size.
from a shilling to eighteen pence"
These expressions are ''bulls,' but they
are also picturesque blunders, such as
could be made only by peasantry gifted
with wit, metaphor and ingenuity. Even
the cutters of turf and drawers of whisky
are orators wrote Maria Edgeworth of
the Irish peasants, more than eighty
years ago.
A writer on whose essay in the London
Speetatorwe have drawn, points out that
there are bulls Of action and conduct as
well as spoken bulls
An Irish lady, observing that her bed
curtains had caught fire, hurried away to
fetch water. She caught upa can of
water, and as she was about to pour it
upon the flames remembered that it was
hot water, and mentally decided that it
could be of no use. An Irish school boy
placed a cup full Of coffee on sloping
desk. Finding that it overtlowed, ne
sought to remedy his difficulty by turning
the cup around. An Irish tenant wishing
to raise the roof of his cabin, began by
excavating the floor
An Irishman, on gentleman saying to
him, How did you like that whisky,
Pat ~ at once replied, "Sure, your honor,
1t has made another man of me, and that
other man would like glass, too" A
temperance lecturer might make that bull
do good service in illustrating the fact that
the first glass does the mischief.

They Like Bold Lovers.

y friend Of mine received daily calls
from an admirer during the entire year,
and at the end of that time the gentle
man wrote her letter of some ten pages,
which after perusing she was still in
doubt as to It's purport. [ was called in
counsel, and the second reading proved
to me conclusively that the writer Of this
most extraordinary epistle had in
tended to propose marriage to my friend.
When | assured her of this she exclaimed

he was here until midnight and | gave
him an opportunity. He must have sat
up till morning composing this remark

This labored efusion did not win the
lady. Women do not as a rule care for
men who are timid in matters of the
heart.
| have heard a great many modest
young ladies declare themselves in favor
of bold men.
There are a vast number of Sabine
maidens left in the civilized world to-day

MILLIONAIRE ROCKEFELLER.
Once a Book Keeper, Now the Richest
Man in America

Once a Book Keeper, Now the Richest
Man in America.
Rockefeller's wealth, saws Julian Ralph
in the Providence Journal, has increased
until it is said that he is now in receipt of
an income of S20,000000 year. John D.
Rockefeller's life story made him one of
the marvels of the New World long before
it was dreamed that he would ever reach
the greatest height as a millionaire. A
certain DR.. Rockefeller removed from the
central part of this State less than forty
years ago to establish himself and family
in Cleveland John d. and William were
his sons. John d. finished his bovhood in
the Ohio city and got his schooling there.
Then he came to New York, and was
proud to become book-keeper in a little
store for the sale of farm produce on com
mission in Water street in this city. At
- years OF age he and NJ. B. Clark went
into the business on their own account.
That was at the close of the war While
a book-keeper, Mr.. Rockefeller had in
vested little money in a small oil refinery
up the river. The porter in the same
store had put his small savings into the re-
fnery also.
In time Rockefeller thought he saw
fortune in oil, and sold out his interest in
his store to Clark. He and the former
partner, now the millionaire Samuel An
drewS, then d, roted all their time to oil
refining. Rockefeller was % and Andrews
was under %. Their refinery was not
worth $1,000, and was not paid for. They
prospered, and Johns brother, William,
became his partner in another refinery
ha al
and store was opened in this city for the
sale of the oil they refined. They needed
money to swing their plans with, and set
out to find it. Away of in Saginaw, Mich,
was Henry NJ. Flagler, sent there by a
rich father-in-law to make his fortune in
lumber and salt He was not succeeding
The father-in-law heard of the Rookie
fellers, and calling Flagler to New York,
put him and $4,000 into the new oil firm.
From this stage in the Rockefeller history
begins the unexampled career of the
Standard Oil Company. Taking that name
and capital of 81 600, 900, John d. Rookie.
Teller rapidly contaminated his plan to
control the oil product of the nation.
The business grew so enormous that it
was able TO obtain the lowest freight rates
from the railroads, and these were often
such that Commodore Vanderbilt re-
marked that only one man in the world
could dictate to him, and that was Rookie
Teller. Refneries were bought right end
left for stock or cash. All who, like Colo
mel o. II. Payne, took stock became rich.
The others got fair price and that was
] all. The corporation was a monopoly I'M
til 1880. After that the railroads rebelled
and then the Standard built its pipe lines
and defed the roads. The company is in
corporated in many States and managed
by the Standard Trust Company in this
city with John D. and William Rookie.
Teller at the head William owns and
lives at the beautiful Aspinwali estate at

Wit on Tombstones.

The punster is irrepressible; he even in
dites his jokes on tombstones An epitaph
in Waltham Abbey (England) informs us
that Sir James Fullerton died Fuller of
faith than of fears. Fuller of resolutions
than of pains. Fuller of honor than of
days"
On another tombstone the connubial
virtues of Daniel Tears are recorded:
Though strange, yet true, full seventy years
Was his wife happy in her Tears.
This is written of an organist
Here lies one blown out of breath
Who lived merry life and died Merideth.
And of Thomas Huddlestone the grave
stone says:
Here lies Thomas Huddlestone; reader, don't
smile;
But reflect as this tombstone you view.
That death, who killed him, in very short
while,

Keep the Children's Faith.

Mothers, don't destroy your children's
faith in you by not keeping your promises
to them, no matter how trifing they may
seem. The simple childish faith they
place in you should be a reason, if there
were no other, for keeping promise once
made. The child may doubt every one
else, but will believe the mother A child's
faith is, involuntarily, born of weakness
and conscious dependence, and his mother
is his law and gospel. But let child
once distrust the word of his mother, and
he loses forever his simple childish faith
1t is shock that his tender sensibilities
never recover from, and often cruel dis
illusion that makes him ultimately, per-
haps, a cynic-DetroH Tribune.

THE BETTER CHANGE.

The road that hath no turning
Makes the traveller sick with yearning;
To hearts where sorrows enter
Come joys that sweetest sing;
A world without a winter
Can never know spring.
Mans hope no fear can fetter
Where best may yet grow better;
Faith builds no walls of granite
Where time is but begun
And life, changing planet,
Runs round changeless sun.
o bliss of expectation
o sweeter revelation
Beyond these fading pleasures,
Beyond these falling tears,
Where loves new given treasures
Grow never old with years
Above all harm and hating,
Through rain of want and waiting,
Comes holy comforts woolng,
In words of heavenly breath,
This grief Is not undoing,
This dying is not DEATH
Faiths martyrs, loves anointed,
Hopes tOilers disappointed,
ShOrn lambs to sheltered slumber
From earths oppression passed
All, with Gods star-cIowned number,
Shall find their need at last.
To hold that future firmer
Is wise to do, nor murmur
Because its entrance only
Lies through the mortal gate.
The soul can not be lonely
Where friends 50 many wait.
Deaths deluge boupdless swelling,
May drift this transient dwelling;
When fears forebOdiug raven
Hath flown across the sea.
The dove of peace my haven
Will find, and come to me.
And shall rest securely
At anchor there, and surely
Gods hand will break my prison,
And ! my heaven shall view
When for His children risen,
He maReth all things new.

Albany woman was telling Binghamton
woman, who was visiting in this city, of

tell OF the Binghamton rents Then her
small son interrupted her, just as she had
finished telling what she paid per month
IN Binghamton, 10y remarking: "Why, that
wasn't for a month, mamma that was for

NOTES.

No matter how clearly the business is
otherwise conducted, if the mixer con.
tinues to smoke while milking, the milk
and its products will be tainted with the
odor and flavor of tobacco. Nothing is
more sensitive to outside odors than milk,
cream and butter and the air of any place
where milking is conducted must be kept
pure.
A good many dollars may be saved about
the farm and in the kitchen if the farmer
owns soldering kit and gives few hours
time during the year to mending leaks and
cracks. Soldering is simple operation
and complete and useful soldering outfit
can be had at trifing expense.

The american CultiUdtor says that " it is
not likely that civilization loses anything
by the extinction of the buffalo. All that
is good of the animal for civilized man is
found in crossing it with domestic cattle
Its meat is better than that of the buffalo
and its carcass is larger. The robe of
cross-bred buffalo Is more valuable than
that of the wild animal, because its fur is
distributed evenly, instead of being punched
in a heap at the name. As the hide of Il
cross-bred buffalo is worth S75, il is well
worthy of being bred for that alone"
