daughters are there who, if it lies between
them to do it, do not let their mothers
rise in the morning and make the fire and
prepare the breakfast. who. in the interim
between cooks, do not let the whole bur-
den of care and the chief endeavor of work
come upon the mother. who do not let the
mother get up in the night and attend to
the calls of sudden ills; who, if it is neces-
sary to watch with the sick, DO not hold
themselves excused, and the duty to be a
mat rnal one; who d. not feel it their
priv.l ege to be ready for callers and com
pany while the mother Is still in working
deshabille; who are not in the habit of tax
ing the most comfortable chair; and who
in the matter of provisions or toilet, do
not think almost anything will do for
mother, but they themselves must be fresh
and fine and in the fashion? How many
daughters are there who, when pleasure
taking comes in question, do feel. even if
perhaps unconsciously. that the mother
has had her day and ought to be contented,
and they should be the ones to go and
take the enjoyment? 1t would seem as if
the mere sentiment of self preservation
would teach daughters better line OF con-
duct 1t is the mother making the CEN
trail spot of the house usually that makes
home possible. 1t is the mother from
whom the greater part of The happiness of
the home pr ,ceeds If she dies the home
disintegrates, or it is not unusual that an
other comes in her place "a foreign and
alien element; before whom the old union
and happiness may possibly fly. To pre-
serve this home and this happiness, one
would imagine, should be the first effort
of the daughter, that she should, out of
regard for her own comfort and grati6ca-
ton as we'll as for that of others, seek
every means to make life easy to the moth
er, to insure her health and length ct days.
Never again will any daughter have such
:, friend as this mother; no fond aiorer' S
eyes will ever follow her with the same
disinterestcd love as this mother eyes do,
nor will any give her the sympathy she
does 1t is wild folly on the daughter s
part that lets the mother waste her
strength, instead of seeking by every
means possible to save ard increase it, for
while good mother is with her family
they are entertaining an angel, whether
unawares or not.

4 WONDERFUL RACE.
A Detroit Man Tells of His Experience
Among the Japanese Who Are People
Worth Cultivating.

Worth Cultivating.
| Mr. Frederick Stearns, of Detroit, has
returned after years residence.in Japan,
and has some interesting things to tell OF
that wonderful people. To a Free Press ="
reporter, Mr.. Stearns said among other
things. speaking of their agricultural
| methods:
Their methods are unlike ours in every
respect We can teach them nothing IN
| the line of agriculture the contrary,
we have many things to learn from them
| Our plows. harrows, reapers, mowers, etc,
while not unknown to them, have not been
adopted, as they consider their own ideas
superior, which they undoubtedly are.
Are the streets In their cities laid out
in similarity with ours!
Eyes. in much the same style. and each
is named after a favorite god or deited
great man. The houses of the majority
of the people are but one story in height
and are constructed of bamboo poles fasten-
ed together, surmounted by matched
roof. There are no walls, the Japanese
paper, which serves the double purpose of
providing shelter and light being substi-
tuted. Glass windows and sh;rgled roofs
may been seen on some few houses. All
views from the house open upon the gar
den, the street being entirely closed up
The Japanese will have his garden if it is
half the size of an ordinary billiard table.
The love of the beautiful in nature and art
is Inherent with the whole race-absolute-
" part of their existence On all sides
of the house are built porches, it being the
especial delight of the japanese to live in
the open air as much as possible. Rice
foliage and flowers may be seen in these
gardens. The chrysanthemum is the inn
perial flower, while the cherry blossom is
the most popular with the people.
Japan is populated with an aggregate
of 80, 900, 900 souls, martial race that has
never yet been invaded. The people are
resolute, full of courage, and are very pat
riotic Since the revolution of 1893 they
have had a constitutional government.
The Mikado is the normal ruler, his powers
being limited by body of men divided
into two branches, which corresponds TO
our Senate and House Representatives
Their form of government is even more
liberal than that of Great Britain.
There are fewer social distinctions
there than in other countries, the people
living upon terms of equality. The men
have adopted the regulation English dress.
wherein think they made a mistake, be-
cause their own peculiar costume is much
T prettier, lighter and more comfortable, al
lowing greater freedom to the movements
of the body noticed tbat although
they wear the European costume in the
daytime, they discard it and don their
own attire in the evening. The women
have refused to adopt the dress of the Eng

garments they have been accustomed to
wear, although the court ladies wear the
