A Gentle People

Woman's Work
1t is pleasant to believe the legends
of the old idyllic days, and think
that all creatures in the animal king
dom were intended by nature to be
on good terms with each other. 1t is
for man to reflect how far he is
answerable for the tiercenesS and
wildness of so many of his inferior
fellow beings. The following picture
of japanese life by Professor Morse,
shows how it might be between the
human and the brute creation:
"Birds build their nests in the city
houses, wild fowls, geese and ducks,
alight in the public parks, wild deer
trot about the streets and he had
actually been followed by wild deer
in the streets nibbling melon rind
out of his hand, as tame as calves
and lambs, OH our Michigan farms.
A dog goes to sleep in the busiest
streets, men turn aside SO as not to
disturb him. One day a beautiful
heron alighted on the limb of a tree,
and the busy, jostling throng stopped.
Every mans hand went into his
pocket, just as they would with us,
but, instead Of bringing out a pop
per-" out came pencil and sketch
paper" Eg
The Japanese are nation ofartists,
lovers of nature. These busy men
were each and all sketching the
picture of their favorite bird. 1t is
enough for us to know kind human
beings infuse gentleness into animals,
and elevate and beautify them by
treating them well.

DR.. Hammond and Woman's Brain

The Woman's Tribune says: DR..
William A. Hammond who, disre-
garding the record of colleges, insist
ed on claiming that woman was, Is,
and must ever be inferior on account
of her smaller brain, its lesser specific
gravity, and other palpable differ
ences in structure, has not been heard
from lately and is doubtless ponder
ing over the facts revealed by the
scientific researches of Helen Garden
er, our doughty champion, who, after
months of careful study with the best
authorities, made these discoveries !:
|. That the brains of infants show no
difference in the sexes. 3. Thatthere
is no such marked difference between
the brains of the sexes as between the
brains OF the individuals of the same
sex. 3. That while the brains of the
most distinguished men, the CrOm-
wells, the Cuviers, the Byrons, and
the Spurzheims have been weig he'd
to help the average for man, there
has never been examined the brain
of a great woman. Our sex has been
ticketed to fit the hospital patient and
the tramp. 4. That while it is
claimed by the best authorities that
the specific gravity of woman's brain
is less than mans it is also conceded
by the same best authorities that the
specific gravity of brains increases in
old age and insanity. 5. That, after
all, the difference in male and female
brains is so Slight as to be not easily
recognizable. Based on this last
assertion Miss Gardener offered to
furnish DIR. Hammond twenty well
preserved adult brains of both sexes
ticketed in cipher, and threw down
the challenge to him that he would
not be able to tell which was which.
Unless DR.. Hammond accepts this
challenge we want to hear nothing
more from him on the subject of wo-
mans inferiority, like Mark Twain's
Irishman, "but silence, and mighty
little of that"

The RULER oE JAPAN.
Reforms Enacted by the Mutsuhito, TIN
Relgning Mikado.

Reforms Enacted by the Mutsuhito, the
Reigning Mikado.
The young Mikado, Mutsuhito, the
1881 Emperor of the nameless dynasty,
was the first of his line to take oath as
a ruler.
On the 18th OF April, 1868, he made
oath before gods and men that, "a
deliberative assembly should be
formed; all measures should be de-
cided by public opinion; and
that intellect and learning should be
sought for throughout the world, in
order to establish the foundations of
the empire" 90 ..... u.5...s.
The oath was reafiirmed October IL,
1881, and the year 1890 is fixed as the
time for limiting the imperial prerog-
alive, forming two houses of parlia-
ment, and transforming the govern
ment into constitutional monarchy.
The Emperor's capital was changed
from Kioto to Yeddo, which was re-
named, and called Toxic. ma
Feudalism, or the holding of fiefs by
the daimio, came to an end in 1871, by
imperial edict, and the whole of great
Japan was again directly under the
Mikado's rule.
The titles of kuze and daimio were
also abolished, both being renamed
simply Kuasoku (Koo-aS-a-koO), or
noble families. The distinctions be-
tween the lower orders of people were
scattered to the winds, and even the
despised outcasts were made citizens,
protected by law.
The degrees in rank among the
Japanese are now as follows:
First. The Emperor and the royal
families.
Second. The Kuasoku, the mob
families.
Third. The Shizoku, the gentry.
Fourth. The Heimin, the citizens

AFRICAN RUNNERS.

Messengers Whose Powers of Endurance
Are Simply Marvellous.
The Arab cOuriers Of she Sultan Of
Morocco are required to make on foot
the distance between Tangier and Fee,
about one hundred and fifty miles by
turtuous roads climbing big mount
aims and swimming bridgeless rivers,
in three and one-half days. They
would be apt to regard the tanbark in
Madison Square Garden as regular
picnic, and they would not require any
rubbing down or other attention. Their
little doura cakes would suffice, for
nutriment, and when they retired for a
three hours snooze a cord tied to
foot and set on fire at the other end
would wake them at the proper time.
Then there are King Khama's postal
runners in Bechuanaland. They are
short-distance pedestrians, but they
are rafting travellers over the rough
est of roads, and, toughened by long
experience, they would probably do well
in six-days' burst of speed. They
are placed fifteen miles apart between
Shoshong, His Majesty's capital, and
Kimberley, and they get the royal mail
over the ground at the rate of 100
miles day, without any star-ronte ex-
pediting. .,.,
But human endurance is seldom test
ed SO severely as among the postal
messengers OF. the Chinese Government
between Pekin and Lhassa. These
messengers are picked and trained
men, who in times of great urgency
are required to cover the 1850 miles
between the two capitals on horseback
in thirty-six days, or 125 miles day.
The messengers letters, inclosed in a
yellow bag, are never taken off his
back except when he changes his dress,
once aweek. He changes horses every
few miles, eats and sleeps in postal
stations, is under the most rigid re-
strictions as to articles of diet, and is
permitted to sleep only four hours a
day. This remarkable feat is said to
be accomplished whenever there is need
of special dispatch, but on ordinary &C.
casions just double the time is given
TO the iourney.-DetrOa Free Press.

When men wear out they're mended too,

A Few Definitions.

New York World.
Taxation for surplus is robbery.
Well says the Old Roman "When
you tax people for more than the
government has any occasion to
to demand you are robbing the
people of the money that belongs to
them"
a tariff for bounties is robbery.
There is no power vested in con-
gress to tax the many in order to
make the few rich. This is what a
tariff does which maintains duties
covering twice the average total cost
of labor in the protected articles.
President Foster of the Republican
League told the truth in his money
raising circuarl when he certified
that the protected manufacturers are
getting practically the sole benefit
of our tariff laws"
a tariff isa tax.
The man who says that tariff is
not a tax when it is paid, either lies
willfully or mistakes ignorantly.
every imported dutiable article
upon which the tariff is hon
estly paid is enhanced in cost to
the American consumer by the full
amount of the duty"

MOVABLE HOUSES.
Dream Which an Imaginative Writer
Calls Prophecy.

Calls PROPHECY,
In this age, when travelling may be
said to be almost a passion, and when
so much has been done for the benefit
OF those who are fond of roaming, it
Is strange that no system of movable
houses has yet been devised The
great improvements in parlor cars
gives hint OF how this should be done.
Already our millionaires and railroad
potentates have their private palaces
htted up with every convenience and
luxury, in which they might i've for
weeks at II time, having their cars
switched on the sidings at any place
where they wish to remain Two diff
culues' however, have yet to be over
come before these cars can be regard
ed US at all satisfactory us places for
continued residence.
In the first place, there is seldom
any provision made in them for the
entertainment of friends on any large
scale. Their owners having remained
Tor some time in any city and enjoyed
the hospitality Of friends, are debarred
by the narrowness of their quarters
from returning the social kindness of
which they have been made the recipi-
ents' 1t is necessary that the parlor
car shall be developed until it contains
dining rooms, parlors, dining halls,
and even ball rooms, suited for the en-
tertainment of large companies. This
will probably necessitate the introduce
ton OF awider gauge than is at pres
ent commonly Employed; unless some
arrangements can be made for the use
OF tracks running upon the double
trucks with which roads are al
ready provided. This will naturally
come in time, and the people
will send out invitations for
entertainments to be given in half a
dozen cities. on as many different dates,
with the comfortable feeling that at the
specified time their own houses will be
in the places named. 1t will be seen
at glance how much this will add to
the variety of social life, and as it is
directly in the line of the growing cos
mopolitanism of the country, the sug-
gestion should appeal at once to pop
ular intelligence.
The second difficulty with the exist
ing state of things is the fact that cars
switched onto siding are almost sure
TO be in undesirable parts of the town,
whittier self-respecting pleasure-seek-
ers might naturally find it awkward to
resort. When once proper system of
house cars has been adopted, the next
step will be for the reservation of
squares in the fashionable quar-
ter of the town, laid with convenient
tracks and switches and hired out for
longer or shorter periods 70 proprie-
tors OF travelling mansions. As money
has long since ceased to be an object
to American millionaires, they will
undoubtedly be willing to pay gener-
! ously Tor such accommodations, and
the genera! result will be satisfactory
pecuniary returns to the holders OF
lots, convenience to the voyaging
householders, and a pleasant variety
both i'll the appearance and social life
of fashionable neiShborhoods All
this is said, not so much in the way of
suggestion, as of prophecy; but since
it is we'll to accustom ourselves to pos
sible innovations, however startling,
the idea is worthy of the gravest con-
sideration. - Boston Courier.
