JAPANESE HOT SPRINGS.
They Are Surrounded with Quaint Gardens

and Other Pretty Details.
A people who SO delight in social
bathing naturally make the most OF the
hot springs which are found in SO many
parts of the empire, and surround them
with quaint gardens and other pretty
and characteristic details. Several OF
the attractive watering places lie with
in such easy reach of Yokohoma as to
render them familiar to all foreign resi-
dents as pleasant object for delight

sions imply innumerable minor points
of interest.
Thus my own recollections of visiting
certain boiling springs near the base of
Full anna in the month of August are
as Kaleidoscope wherein blend the
quaintest medley of professions Of pill
grims, tea house scenes, driving along
beautiful sea coasts, and watching pretty
girls devour raw little octopi and other
extraordinary food, or passing beneath
stately avonues ofpine and cryptomcria,
past whole folds of lovely tall whito
lilies. grown as we grow potatoes for
the sake of their roots, and then past
ponds devoted to the sacred lotus,
whose magnificent rose or lemon colorcd
blossoms peeped from among the great
blue-green leaves, rising 80 height of
three or four feet above the water. And
on and on, through villages where
crowds of children, and grown-up folks
too, were celebrating quaint mytho-
logical festival in such pretty fanciful
fashion as seemed to suggest some fairy
tale rather than page of prosaic life.
And then we halted for the night at
the charmingly-p primitive tea-house of
Sengoko-yu in the heart of the beautiful
forest, to which water is brought in
bamboo pipes from boiling sulphur
springs at higher level, and is cooled
in rude but effective baths. One of
these was given up to our exclusive use,
drained, refilled, and screened in defer
ence to our foreign prejudice. and here
we reveled in peace and boiled away all
the aches and fatigues Of our long days
journey. Then our courteous hostess
arrayed US in cool Japanese dresses
from her own wardrobe and treated us
to an excellent Japanese supper.
On the following morning we repeated
the sulphur bath with full appreciation
of its merits, and then climbed through
the forest to visit the sulphur springs

CONCERNING CROWNS.
The Emblems of Royalty Worn by Kings
and Queens.

Many years ago it was the correct
thing for monarch to wear the
identical crown worn by his uredeces-
sOrs. A king never was formally
crowned on tho day when he succeeded
to the throne, but the ceremony was
always postponed for a week or two in
order to have the crown thoroughly
renovated. In the days whom the French
had kings the monarch was so liable to
be upset by revolution that he was
unwilling to delay tho ceremony of cor
onation, and it often happened that
new French king would send out the
prime minister with the crown within
twenty minutes after the previous kings
decease with orders to have it blocked
for two and one-half francs while he
waited. But there is no doubt that the
custom of handing down the same crown
from generation to generation had it's
disadvantages.
In the first place, it rarely happens
that two kings have heads of precisely
the same size, and as rule the crown
which fitted the original king for whom
it was made never fitted any of his sue
CeSSOrS, DuI WAS always elLnor 100 large
or too small. Nothing looks more alb
surd than very small crown cooked on
the bead of a very large king, except,
perhaps, crown which is much too
large for the wearer and continually
falls over his ears. There was, it is true,
certain reverence for antiquity and in
herited rights shown by this custom of
wearing an ancient ancestral crown, bat
it need not be supposed that any mon
arch really liked it.
No matter how carefully king might
have his fathers crown Houred and re-
paired he always felt that he was wear
ing another mans clothes, so to speak.
AS for Queen Victoria, it is we'll known
that she ordered an entire set of new
crowns when she came to the throne, re-
marking as she gave the order, that she
had as much affection for some of her
relatives as any body need have, but as
for wearing any thing that had been on
the 'ead of that 'orrid King William she
would go to her grave bareheaded first

Elias Howe, the inventor of the sew
ing machine, was born in Spencer, Mass,
July Q, 1919. His father was farmer
and miller, and Elias remained at home,
assisting him, till 1885, when he went
to Lowell and found employment in a
factory, afterward working in machine
shop at Boston. There he developed
his idea of the sewing machine. His
first machine was completed in May,
1s45, and he secured his patent Septem-
Der 10, 1916. He made four machines,
but received so little encouragement for
them that he went to England, where
he struggled with poverty for two years.
He then returned to America, to find
that others had appropriated his idea.
For more than five years he was con-
stantly engaged in lawsuits, but finally
secured his right to priority of inven-
ton, and other manufacturers of sewing
machines paid him a royalty on their
patent. He now amassed a large for
tune, estimated $2,0J0,00O from tho
sale of his machines. lie died in Brook

TWO MAfDENS.


There was a young woman, as have been told,
Who worried for fear she was looking too old;
One day she discovered tiny gray hair
And little wee wrinkle-which ought to be
there
SO, all in panic, she fastened to try
Hair Washes and tonics and tweezers and dye,
She plastered her features with lotions and
cream,
Enamels and balms and slIin-powders she tried
All stuts that 'reiuvenate" too, were applied
But, somehow-as happens to all in that case
She quicker got rid of her beauty and grace
Each gaze in the mirror showed plainly the
TRUTH
Instead Of restoring or holding her youth
She made herself older ard shortened her days
By trying those arts that ere useless always.
Another young woman, as have been told,
Gave never a thought to herself growing old;
She didn't go hunting TO find gray hair
Or wrinkles or crows feet" that, may be, were
there.
She loo ed on the merry, bright side of life,
She didn't seek troubles or worries or strife,
She cou ted the sunshine, she never repined,
And always kept busy in body and mind.
Being true to Dame Nature, that ever good
dame,
The uest of friends and protectors became,
And so that young woman, as have been told,
Lived nigh to hundred-and never felt "old."
Now Of these young women, tits easy to say
Which chooses the only and happier way
Of keeping the health and the bC auty and grace
That going gainst Nature so soon will efface.

LIGHT PRODUCES SOUND.
A Wonderful Discovery in Science Mad
Within Year or Two.

A Wonderful Discovery in Science Made
Within "A Year or Two.
One of the most wonderful discoveries
in science that has been made within
the last year or two is the fact that a
beam of light produces sound. A beam
OF sunlight is thrown through lens on
glass vessel that contains lampblack,
colored silk or worsted, or other sub
stances. A disk having Sits or OPEN
ings cut in it is made to revolve swiftly
in this beam of light, SO as to cut it up,
thus making alternate flashes of light
and shadow. On putting the ear to the
glass vessel, strange sounds are heard
SO long as the flashing beam is falling
on the vessel. Recently a more won
derful discovery has been made. A
beam OF sunlight is made to pass
through prism, so as to produce what
is called the solar spectrum, or rainbow.
The disc is turned, and the colored LIGHT
OF the rainbow is made to break through
1T. Now, place the ear to the vessel
containing the silk, wool or other ma
terlal. AS the colored lights of the
spectrum fall upon it sounds will be
given by different parts of the spectrum,
and there will be silence in other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains rod
worsted, and the green light flashes
upon it, loud sounds will be given. ONLY
feeble sounds will be heard when the
red and blue parts of the rainbow fall
upon rhe vessel, and other colors make
no sounds at all. Green silk gives
sound best in red light Every kind of
material gives more or less sound in
different colors, and utters no sound in
others. The discovery is strange one,
and it is thought more wonderful things
will come from it.-Art Journal.

LIVING BY POLITICS.
A Trade Pursued by Two Hundred Thou
sand American Citizens.


sand American Citizens.
The countless minor offices of the
United States are filled by a distinct
class known as professional politi.
clans" These men live by politics, re.
ceiving place as reward for political work.
Their control of public Office is monop.
olistic. Mr.. Bryce estimates their num-
Der at two hundred thousand, but this is
probably an underestimate. They con.
stitute guild, although they are not
organized under formal articles of as
ISOLATION. With them office-getting (ol
keeping in otfice) is an industry, and
the fees and emoluments are accepted
as payment for partisan services rather
than for the exercise of official func-
tions. The Influence which the Office
holders WELD is altogether out of pro-
portion to their numbers or to their ir-
tallectual attainments. But they pos
sess this advantage over all other
classes-they are unified and organized.
They make the management of pri-
maries and conventions the serious
business of their lives, and acquire
skill and experience in wire pulling"
which ordinary citizens cannot hope to
cope with. The politics of the country
is in the hands of these men. The peo-
pie elect, but can not nominate, being
reduced to a choice of candidates Sc
lected by the politicians of opposing
parties. These politicians dictate nomi-
nations, high and low, and afterwards
foreclose lien upon public place which
they claim to have earned. All others,
those who can not show a certificate of
this character, are excluded.

but first, last and exclusively a promoter Of

3. Because though elected President Of
the United States as Democrat, his admin

establishment of Democratic ideas or for
the benefit of the Democracy, but for the
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF Grover Cleve-
land and the exaltatiOn of his own prepOs-
ferrous self conceit.
4. Because, in pursuit of his own cranky
and whimsical notions, he adopted the anti
Democratic Chinese system of literary ex-
aminations as the test of admission into the
civil service of the Government.
5. Because he wrecked the Democracy
in 1883 by interfering into the platform the
doctrine of free trade, to be realized through
a free trade reform of the tariff, to the ex-
clusion of every other reform thereof.
