WOMAN'S TRIUMPH.
A Severe Surgical Operation. It ia
Endured without taking Ether.
Return Of the Disease
prevented.

From the Correspondence OF the Kingston. n. z
Freeman
The case of Mrs. Edward Meyers, of ROM
out, New York, furnishes an apt illustratiG
of woman's power of endurance. This lad
had been treated for months in the usus
way for Erysipelas of the hand, without
benefit. Not until her hand had become q
mass of putrid flesh did she turn to DR.. David
Kennedy, proprietor of the "Favorite REM
edy," which is made at Rondout, NY.
He informed her that it was impossible to
save the hand-it must be amputated. She
received the terrible intelligence quietly,
declined to take ether, sitipulating merely
to hold her husband s hand during the oper-
alton, and underwent the painful process
without moving muscle or uttering groan.
DR.. Kennedy then gave Favorite Remedy"
freely to cleanse the blood and p. vent re-
turn of the disease, and Mrs. Meyers now
lives and rejoices in her great deliverance.
DR.. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" is fas
becoming trusted household friend in al
cases of Female Weakness and diseases o
the blood, Kidney and Liver complaints
and Constipation of the Bowels.

Dorset Horned Sheep.

The sheep known as Dorset horned is
native to the county of Dorset in Eng
land, situated in the south, and having
an exceedingly mild climate, SO much SO
that III parts of it exposed to the sun and
the warm winds from the Gulf Stream,
which passes near the coast, tropical
plants of various kinds are grown in the
open air. This is the home of the Dor
set sheep which in this warm, moist eli
mate and upon the rich, chalky pastures
shriyes so well as to be considered by its
enthusiastic admirers the handsomest
sheep living. It's peculiarly is prolific
famtrbearing, yeaning twice in the year,
and often with twins or triplets. Per-
haps there is nc other sheep in'existence,
not excluding the African fat-tailed
sheep, which Is less adapted to the eli.
enate and agricultural conditions here,
and, consequently, it may be considered
that the introduction Of this sheep fol
farm use will turn out to be ill-adyised.
Under the present prevailing high cul-
lture this sheep grows to T1arge size,
yielding a carcass of 1870 pounds, dressed
weight, although It is naturally a small
.breed.-NeD York Times.
The Opelousas courier., 1889-10-19
Life in Japan.

From an article in the Century by the
artist Wores, we quote the following:
SIN Japan women have always held a
higher position than in other Aslatlc
countries. They go about freely where
Ever they please, and the ~seclusion Of the
Chinese is wholly unknown to them.
The schools receive as many girls as boys;
and as a result of my observations | can
safely say, without idle compliment, that
the former are brighter than the latter.
"By degrees, and under these favor
able conditions for general observation,
some of the causes of the peoples happy
spirit of independence began to be re-
vealed to me. The simplicity of their
lives, in which enters no selfish rivalry to
putdo one another, accounts in a large
measure for this enviable result. Re-
garding one another very much as belong
ing to one family, their mode of life Id

sequently a spirit of great harmony pre-
walls. A very small income is sufficient
to supply the ordinary necessities Of life,
and everything else is secured with but
little effort. Household effects are few
and inexpensive; and should everything
be destroyed by fire or lost in any way, It
is not an irreparable calamity. All can
be replaced at a small outlay and life go
IN as before.
"The tenant upon renting a house is
put to little expense to furnish it; indeed,
he requires absolutely no furniture at all.
The clean, finely woven mats which cover
the floor serve as table, chair, and bed;
and as it is the univeral custom to TO.
move the shoes before entering a 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 aA
night, rolled together in the morning,
FFefststored away in a closet during the

specimens of beautiful script decorate the
walls, a few vases contain sprays OF flow

1t does not imply a marriage engagement
between the parties, but is rather the
method by which the desirability of such
an engagement is determined.
A young lady would not lose her repu-
tation in the slightest degree by taking a
trip of a week, say to New York. Phila-
delphia, or Washington, with a young
man. It is by no means unusual. AnS
it may be said, too, as a rule, that the
young people are worthy of the plodi-
gious confidence reposedi in them. These,
and indeed all. the customs mentioned,
are those of a confding people, a widely
scattered population making the oes' u
their few social opportunities.
AS a people, with language, customs
and traditions peculiar to themselves,
they are rapidly passing away. Although
this blood is the best strength of nearly
three million Pen~nsylvanians and of some
thing like a million more in other States,
there remains but a few thousand fami-
lies-probably twenty-five thousand fami-
Iies-of the old unchanged stock, such as
we have been portraying here. The rest,
through intermarriage and long associa-
t1on with the dominant race, have lost
their peculiarities, and are indistinguish-
able from them, unless it be by reason OF
their greater patience, confidence and
steadfastness OF purpose.-New York
