LIFE IN JAPAN.
1t Costs Very Little to Furnish a House
and Make 1t Cheerful.

and Make 1t Cheerful.
In Japan, says the artist Wones in the Sep
tembsr Century, woman have always held q
higher posistion than In any other Asiatie
countries. They go about freely wherever
they please, and the secIusion of the Chinese
is wholly unknown to them. The schools re-
ceive as many girls as boys, and as result
of nay observations can safely say, without
idle compliment, that the former are bright
or than the latter.
"By degrees, and under the favorable con-
ditions for general observations, some of the
causes of the peoples happy spirit of inde-
pendsnce began to be revealed to me. The
simplicity of their lives, in which enters no
selfish rivalry to outdo one another, accounts
in large measure for this enviable result.
Regarding one another very much as belong
ing to one family, their mode of life Is more
or less on the same plane, and consequently q
spirit of great harmony prevails. A very
small income is sufficient to supply the ordin-
ary necessities of life, and everything else is
secured with but little effort. Household ef-
feots are few and inexpensive and should ev-
erything be destroyed by fire or loss In any
way, 1t is not an irreparable calamity. All can
be replaced at small outlay, and life 60 on
as before.
s'The tenant upon renting house, is put
to little expense to furnish 1t; indeed, he re-
quires absolutely no furniture at all. The
clean, finely woven mats which cover the
Aosr serve as table, chair and bed; and as it
is the universal custom to remove the shoes
before entering house there is No danger of
ones bringing with him the dirt from the
streets.
"His bedding consists of cotton quilts.
which are spread out on the floor at night,
rolled together in the morning, and stored
away in a closet during the day. A few pict-
ures and specimens of beautiful script DECOR
ate the walls, few vases contain sprays of
flowers, and number of cushions on the floor
complete the furnishing of the room. Yet 1t
does not seem empty or cheerless, for the gen.
eral arrangement of harmonious colors, the
different woods employed in its visible con-
struction, and the beauty of the finished work
manship make most harmonious and plea
sing combination"

Probably woman, In the opinion Of

Surseons-A Startling Theory and Ar

from the Pail Mall Gazette.1
Mr.. Lawson Trait, the eminent woman's
surgeon, having read the suggestion publish
ed in our columns on Thursday that 'Jack
the Ripper" might be q woman. had yester-
day q chat with one of our four representa-
tives. He said:
'sNo serious suggestion In connection with
this matter that one can make may be wise-
have discovered nothing, and are evident-
Iy at their wits' end. They must begin
afresh.
'I have taken a great interest in these ira
gedies from the very enhancement. Now,
looking at the subject as a surgeon, the first
conclusion is that the whole of the murders,
not only in Whiteohapel. but in Batterssa and
Chelsea are the work of one and the same In.
dividual. They must be grouped together.
Secondly, the crimes are the work of luna
tic. The absolute motivelessness of the whole
business shows this.

An INaEHIOus SCHErrE


It is high time that the English holders of
Confederate bonds shoald get over the idea
that they can ultimately get them paid. But
they do not, and their latest scheme is an
ingenious one. They know that money is
needed in the South. Southern States
want money; southern cities want msney;
southern corporations and northern corpora
tioas in the South want money. They are
holding out their hands to Eaglishmen for
1t. Tho answer of Englishmen to tho re-
quest Is: Pay one per cent. on the Confeder~
ate bonds which yoa have repudiated and
which we hold, and we will lend you the
money you want. Of course If they can get
one per cent. paid they can get more. An
agent of the syndicate is now in this eoun-
try. It is related that he is member of a
frn who have been for many years the
principal dealers in the American stock mar
ket and few extensive schemes from the
ether side have been foated here before they
have been submitted to this particular firm.
The syndicate represented by this man has q
tremendous power in English financial cir
oles. It holds a vast amount Of bonds, most
of which were bought for . song. The ral-
ing price of the bonds to-day is three-quar-
ters of one per cent. The agent is as high
priced as he is shrswd, and the few who are
aware of the object Of his American trip are
sure that 1t would not be made except on
the best grounds. He will tell Georgians and
Alabamians that their credit in England ia
worthless, and will remain go until they
show disposition to wipe out old obliga-
tions. The syndicate proposes to put the
percentage thus received on the entire debt
at compound interest and thus in compare
tively few years to get the face value of
the bonds in their possession, or an amount
very close to their face value.
Business Is business, and the Enslishmsn
would save money by calling their invest
ment in Confederate bonds bad one and Lett
ting 1t 20.

Mrs. Lincoln" A card written by the Presi-
dent to Mr.. French, on November 9, 1854,
said: "H commissioner Of public buildings
chooses to give laborers at White House o
holiday, have no objsetion.-A. Lineeln." !"
The proposed holiday" was to be given
after the reelection of President Lincoln.
A singular will case was decided few
days ago by the Supreme court of California.
The will Of Mrs. Margaretha Paalhaber, who
died recently, gave to her four daughters the
income of one-fourth of her estate while they
lived with their husbands, but provided that
If divorced each should receive one-ffth of
the estate. Soon after the death Of the mother
one of the daughters obtained divorce and
then began proceedings for one-ffth of the
estate. The other three sisters successfully
defended the action In the Superior court,
which held in effect that the mother had
made will to induce her daughters to sepa-
rate from their husbands, which was against
good morals and the policy of the law. An
appeal was taken to the Supreme court,
which tribunal has reversed the decision of
the court below, holding that the mother had
a right to consider that legal separation
could not be had without reason, which
was neither contrary to good morals nor the
policy Of the law

splsshing, done witheus method by q novice
with the knife. Having out the victims
throat from behind, the operator simply by
an act of unconscious oerebration goes to
work in the regular butcher fashion. Hav-
ing slit the Calls neck, the next thing to be
done Is to make an incisien at the bottom of
the abdomen, and lay aside the various or
gans in the very fashion reported at the in
quests as having been done. The resena-
blanse between the 'Ripper's' work and that
of the butchers is complete.
"On at least one of the occasions when the
police came upon the scene there were to be
noticed several women in the crowd that
quickly gathered. Had those bystanders
been searched there is all the chance that the
criminal would have been captured"
"What advice do you then give to the po-
ice" OR representative asked.
"Let them visit all the slaughter houses In
the district, inquire as to male or female
regular assistants or occasional helps-there
are not SO many slaughter houses, and they
are all licensed and under the health author
ities-and find out what facilities there are
for entrance into the houses after the work
of the day is done.
eff this were carefully done at once the
police would catch the criminal In q week.
The pelice need to go on brand new road.

A Baltimore railroad company has tried the

abandoned 1t because 1t proves far more sx-

right systen has evidently not yet been found.
The Methodist minister who has just been
arrested In Alabama for passing oounterfeit

were eight silver dollars in the box, and
seven of them were counterfsits.
According to Sir Edwin Arnold, whe leo
tured to the students and professors Of Har-
ward college tho other evening, marriage In
India Is not failure. His subject was the
philosophy of the Brahmins, and in the course
of his remarks he said that In "India, with
its 200, 200, 900 inhabitants, there never occurs
a marriage Of inclination. Yet there are
mere happy marriages in India, more happy
homes, more pure domestic relations that in
any other part of the world"
In the archives of the Wurnbsrg railroad
at Furth, which was the arst line constructed

been found, drawn up by the Royal college
Of Bavarian doctors. In it ocsars the fol-
lowing passage: "Travel in carriages drawn
by locomotive ought to be forbidden in the
interest Of public health. The rapid moves
ment cannot fail to produce among the pas
sengers the mental affection known as deliri-
nm furiosum. Even If travellers are willing
to incur risk. the governments should at least

The only jack rabbit farm in the country,
90 far as Is known, is situated on fat alkali
section near q town in central Kansas. It
and its jack rabbits are the property of a
soursinR association which will not sell a
rabbit to anyone else and which depends on
its farm Tor the supply Of harss taken to 9TH
or cities In park coursinR events. A year
ago the projectors of this novel farm had on
ly about thirty jack rabbits, which had for
tho most part been purchased when young
from farmer boys who had found them. To-
day, owing to scsretions from similar sources
and to the very rapid multiplication of the
species, there are between two and three
hundred full grown jacks on the farm, and
the question Of supply may be fairly said to
be settled.

HOW TO BE HAPPY.
Many Reasons why We Should Take Lib
Easy and Not Worry,


If you want good appetite, don't worry.
If you want healthy body, don't worry,
If you want things to go right in your
homes or your business, don't worry.
Women find sea of trouble in their house
keeping. Some one says they often put as
much worry and anxiety INTO a loaf Of
bread, a pie or a cake, into the weekly
washing and ironing, as should suffice for
much welghter matters. This accounts
largely for the angularIty of American
women. Nervousness, according to the
American Artisan, is the bane Of the Amer
lean race. 1t Is not confined 10 the women,
by any means, but extends to the men as
well. Even business men are sometimes
afflicted, so we have heard, and so our ad-
vice not to yield to this habit will be most
kindly received by ali classes of readers
