Rahiaa of the Lananesa.

1t is an odd thing that by no people on
earth are children-bo girls and boys
treated with more affection and in
diligence than by the island neighbors Of
the Chinese-the Japanese, namely; and
no children have greater abundance Of
toys and amusements 1t must how
ever, be said that the fondness and
patience of Japanese parents are recipro-
Gated by the love and obedience of their
children. Both father and mother are
equally devoted to their offspring. The
mother commonly carries her baby slung
in front of her, and when she is tired the
father cheerfully accepts the burden;
but fathers and mothers and elder sisters
and brothers may often be seen in the
gay, sunny streets of Toxic or Yokohama
giving pick-a-backs to delighted. crow
ing babies.
The Japanese baby, moreover, is not
only INDUCED, he is also treated with
the greatest care and intelligence. He Is
judiciously fed; he is regularly bathed
either at home or in the public bath
houses, and his skin is stimulated and
his health hardened by his being fire.
quently plunged in cold stream or even

BEAUTY AT THE BELL PUNCH.

Chicago Girl Serves as q Car Conduc-
/ tor During Her Lovers Illness.
Some employees introduced an innova-
ton in conductors on the Madison street
cable line on Wednesday. Passengers
on one car were not asked the question,
Fare, please" in the Ordinary mascu-
line voice, but dainty, dulcet, feminine
tones propounded it in hesitating voice,
accompanied by dainty tap on the arm
or shoulder, which made the men want
to pay more than once She was per-
feet vision of loneliness. A dainty, fair
complexion of healthy pink tinge was
beautifully shaded from the red rose of
the cheeks to the clear alabaster of the
temples.
Pretty dimples broke the roundness of
the cheeks, and large, blue eyes, shield
ed by long, curving lashes, modestly
peeped in a half pitiful, half defiant
manner at the passengers. A jaunty
conductors cap was saucily set on a
tightly curling mass Of golden hair. She
was evidently new hand at the bust
ness
The gripman confdentially told knot
of young men that she was ''stunner,"
and had just come to work that morn
ing When she would catch the eye OF
one of her evidently admiring passen-
gers, blush would wave up from her
neck and down the dainty color in. her
cheeks with its blood of crimson. She
was evidently full of business, however.
One young man who got on the car sat
IN speeches. amaZement at the vision
which approached him for his fare, but
he was awakened from his day dreams
by the demand, vouched in businesslike
tones. He pulled out nickel, which he
dropped into the extended palm of the
conductress and relapsed into his dream.
Every young man on the car-and it
was crowded too-rode clear around the
loop again and back to the west side.
They were still on the car paying fares
when the reporter jumped off. Inqui-
ries developed the following story as to
the presence of this vision on the car:
The conductor, who was her sweetheart,
had become suddenly i'll while on the
car and was compelled to leave at once
The woman had been cashier in down
town restaurant, and knew how to han
die money, in addition to being familiar
with the duties of conductor from fire.
quent rides on the Car with her fiance
A friend assisted him from the car,
and she donned his cap and took his
place so that he would not be compelled
to continue the trip while i'll. She made
one round trip, when her betrothed re-
joined the car and relieved her Of the
unpleasant duties They were afraid if
he reported sick the time would be lost,
and his standing as an employee would
be impaired.
She expressed strong dislike for the
work, and declared she would never
again accept such position under any
circumstances, but when she accepted the
undertaking she was bound to remain at
the post of duty. If her conductor lover
has ever entertained any doubts as to
her affection for him he is now COM
pletely satisfied. since she has sufficiently
proved it.
From the way nickels poured in on
that trip it looks as if President Yerkes
could make spaying investment by hir-
ing several lady conductors-of course,
exercising a due regard for beauty

How q Diamond Cuts Glass.

1t has been ascertained by a series Of
experiments that a diamond does not
cut out the glass, file fashion, but forces
the particles apart, so that continuous
crack is formed along the line Of the in
tended cut. The crack once begun,
very small force is necessary to carry 1t
through the glass, and thus the piece is
easily broken off. The superficial crack
or cut need not be deep, a depth, accord
ing to fine measurements, Of a 200th
part of one inch is quite sufficient to ac-
complish the purpose, so that the appli-
cation of much force in using the dia-
mond only wears out the gem without
doing the work any better.
Numerous stones, such as quartz and
other minerals, when ground into proper
form, will cut glass like diamond, but
are not so valuable for that purpose,
lacking the requisite hardness and soon
losing the sharp edge necessary to make
the operation success. - st. Louis

A Woman with Sporting Blood.

There is woman on the west side
whose husband wishes the races had been
run in Hindoostan instead of Buffalo.
She has become an inveterate gambler.
Yesterday he came home to find his wife
discussing the price with tramp who
wanted to bring in cord Of wood. It
seems that tide price had been fixed at
thirty cents The husband unseen lis
tened to the conversation. Now" said
his wife, 'let's flip a coin to see whether
it shall be thirty cents or fifty cents"
The tramp won.
"Now," said he, growing in the conf
dence that he had struck a snap, "let's
flip again to see whether it shall be a
dollar or dollar and half"
Done" said the woman, too deeply
wrapt in the gambling spirit to notice
that it was a case of 'heads win. tails
you lose"
Again the tramp won.
At this moment the husband, who was
beginning to see mortgage suspended
over his house, interposed an objection,
to the great displeasure of the tramp

She Was Epthusiastic.

After the big race between Harvard
and Yale a young woman came into the
hotel flushed with pride, radiant tri-
umph in her smile. Crimson ribbons
were at her corsage; crimson streamer
foated from the end of her parasol, and
the scarlet Of her cheek was the deep
color Of Harvard She was almost
breathless, and her eye sparkled with ex-
element and patriotic fervor. Some one
said to her, Wasn't 1t finer "Oh.
lovely" she cried.
"And how they rowed!" said the young
college man who beamed upon her.
Beautifully" she answered. "This is
glorious day for old Harvard" said the
other. Indeed it isl" she cried. "Who
won? What? Harvard? 1 am SO glad.
My brother Jack, you know, is fresh
man." Cynics who scott at young wo-
men who are interested in athletics may
cite this example, for if ever story were
true this one is.-New York Tribune.

Something for Shoppers to Think About.
Two women kept street car waiting
nearly minute the other day while they
ran to overtake it. Their hand baggage
proclaimed them travellers. After they
had recovered somewhat from their I'M
usual squirt one said anxiously to the
other, "Now do you think you have
everything" The other replied with
equal distress of countenance, Every
thing | believe but the black ribbon for
belt and those small vest buttons; but,
she went on as if ray of hope remained,
II can probably get those in Brookline.
Her companion assented to this as one
gently tolerant and willing to indulge a
cheerful view of rather doubtful matter.
All Of which is n text, and mere is the
sermon: Isn't it foolish to rush about to
the very verge of departure to finish a
long list of shopping, to spend more
money than you meant to and more
strength perhaps than you have to spare,
on the mistaken supposition that there is
only one chance of getting great lot Of
things, many of which come under the
head of only possible needs? Most of the
shops furnish mail order cards to any de-
string such, all are prompt to fulfill an
out of town commission, and it is almost
impossible in these days of widespread
communication to get to a point hope
lessly beyond metropolitan reach.
And. secondly, the majority of the
small towns and villages are supplied
with stock sufficient to meet all ordi-
nary demands. You may not find silk
underwear nor floselle on sale in an
Adirondack camp, but you will find much
more than belt ribbons and vest buttons
in every Brookline you travel to. Scores
of women come home in the autumn
with unwrapped parcels in their trunks
whose contents they wore themselves
out to procure in July because they might
need and not be able to obtain them 1t
is not necessary and it does not pay

Fingers and Rings.

Did you ever notice that some women
who have pretty hands make them look
awkward by wearing rings on the mid
die fingerf Only women with long, slen-
der fingers can wear many rings, and it
is very bad form to wear ring at all on
the middle finger. Women with short,
plump fingers should choose slender,
narrow bands, with tiny settings. Do
not point the nails too sharply, and bear
in mind that too high a polish is worse
than none at all.-Exchange.

OUR WEDDING DAY.

OUH WEDDING DAY.
Our wedding day, dear heart,
Well / remember
How crisp the boar frost lay
That chill December
was a foolish thing.
How my heart failed me;
Little you knew or guessed
What twas that allied me-
had my doubts Of you.
Only just fancyl
Would you have thought it, Jack,
OF your fond Nancy
People kept telling me
Men were deceivers;
Women most foolish folk.
Needless believers.
Would you be kind? | asked,
And my heart futtered;
True to the marriage VOWS
Your lips had uttered?
Ten years ago, dear love-
How the time passes.
Jackl drink my health again;
Fill up our glasses.
Don't wipe my tears away;
They're not for sadness.
My heart is full today
Only Of gladness.
How true you've been to me
None can guess ever;
Husband, stand by me still,
Never to sever.
AS DER the frosty sky
Wintry clouds hasten,
Our joys in future, Jack,
Trials may chasten.
Still hand in hand we'll step,
Fearing no morrow;
Wind blows the clouds away,
Love chases sorrow.
Our wedding day is DER
Twelve the clocks striking.
Look at me, Jack-am
Still to your liking?
Don't say a word, you goose:
Only remember
l love you better now
Than that December.

How He Won Her.

Permit me to suggest a plan through
which young lady became engaged
while she was visiting at Cape May
Point last summer. This girl-a wealthy
westerner, by the way-had firted des-
perately with and finally refused man
well known to club life in New York.
He did not give up the ship, however.
but went down to Cape May Point to see
the cruel one. They went in bathing
and he taught her to float, although
she couldn't swim stroke. One day
she was floating and he was swimming,
with one hand placed beneath her shout
ders to keep her steady,
After she had been looking up at the
bright blue sky for what seemed to her
half an hour, the young man told her
they were far from shore, with fifty feet
of water between them and the bottom
of the sea- She begged him to swim
back toward the beach, when suddenly
be withdrew his hand and she COM
menced to sink She uttered a little
cry, but he Immediately supported her
again. Then he told her, while the cool,
salt waves swashed around them, that
he loved her to distraction, that he had
grown desperate and that unless she
promised to marry him then and there
he would let her drown, and for a Sec
ond time he momentarily withdrew his
hand.
The western girl didn't dare move,
but she sobbingly confessed that she had
loved him all along, and that she would
marry him, of course, and that he ought
to know she was just acting silly when
she refused him. Then the young man
stopped swimming and stood up in four
feet Of water, and when he had helped
the girl to stand she found herself close
to shore, but a few hundred feet down
the beach, away from other bathers.
She kept her engagement, too, and they
were married in January.-Philadelph
