SERVANTS IN JAPAN.
A Country Where Hired Help is Not
Source of Trouble.

A Country Where Hired Help Is Not n
Source ofTrOuble.
Japanese servants are excellent, if
you choose them with discretion and
treat them with the established consi6l-
GRAFTON of the country. There is uni
versal social compact in Japan to make
life pleasant by politeness. Every body
is moro or less well bred and hates the
man or woman who is yakamsahu-
noisy, uncivil, or exigent. People who
lose their temper, are always in hurry,
bang doors, swear, and 'swagger,"
find themselves out of place in land
where the lowest coolie learns and prac-
tees an ancient courtesy from the time
when he wobbles about as a
baby upon his mothers back.
Therefore, to be treated well in
Japan, as perhaps indeed elsewhere, you
must treat every body, including your
domestics, we'll; and then you will en-
joy the most pleasant and willing serv-
ice. Your cook will doubtless cheat you
a little; your jinrickishaman will now
and then take too much sake, the mus
mu and the boys wife will gossip all
over the place about every thing you
do; and the gardener and the coachman
will fight cocks in the yard when your
back is turned; but if conscious of your
own, you can forgive the little sins of
others. You can hardly fail to become
closely attached to the quiet, soft
voiced, pleasant people, who, as soon
as they have learned your ways,
will take real pleasure in MAX
ing life agreeable to you. A
present now and then of a
kimono to the maids, of toys and sweat
meats to the children; days holiday
now and then granted to the theater or
the wrestling-match, are richly reward
ed by such bright faces and unmistalz-
able warmth of welcome on arriving,
and of good speed on going, as repay
you ten-fold. Respectful as Japanese
servants are-and they never speak ex-
cept on their knees and faces-they like
to be taken into the family conversa-
ton and to sit sometimes in friendly
abandon with the master and mistress
admiring dresses, pictures, or Western
novelties, and listening sometimes to
the samisen and koto as children of the
household.-Sir Edwin Arnold, in Serb.

and trimmed in green oats and brown
swamp grass The clustered bunch of oats
and swamp grass is placed high in front,
from underneath which peeps a brown
cedar bird. Another hat equally as striking
is of gray braid trimmed in natural cheat
carelessly arranged around the brim and
standing high at the back, through which
crawls a gold snake One of tan is trimmed
in wheat and haw berries of bright red,
which contrasts beautifully with a tan and
brown dress. Another is of black braid
trimmed in black, red and light green, oats
to match the flowers in a black China silk
dress.
The English walking hat has for q long
time been the prime favorite for travelling
in early fall, and the new steeple crown
walking hat is bound to be admired. The
brim rolls, and is slightly higher on one
side than on the other. The crown from
which it derives its name is a cone, gently
sloping from the apex to the brim. The
siliz, and the trimming is of silk matching
the crown. A stylish walking hat is made
of Argent gros-grain silk trimmed with
round bow of many loops with pointed ends
in the front and bunch of gold oats at the
back, held in place with an ornament of
gold. Another hat of the same shape suit
able for the fall races is made of pure white
ottoman silk, and having two gold quilts at
the back. Two narrow rows of gilt cord
edge the facing of this extremely simple
but stylish hat, and it. best becomes per-
feet blonde dressed all in white, with a
white parasol sitting the sunlight over a
very clear complexion.

WOMEN OF SOUTH AMERICA.

The Sex Winning Bread in the United
States Is to Them a Munchausen Tale.
New York Tribune.I
Love-making apparently Is the sole in
dustry and art of the women of South
America Latin blood Is the root of the
population. Until invigorated by healthy
immigration, or until war depopulates, as
did our late rebellion, cutting off the supply
of "Prince Charmings," women thinkers,
bread-winners in the higher walks are
liable to be unknown in South America.
The delegates sent out by the Lady Board
of managers will probably be accorded
hearing. Their story of the marvellous
growth and power of American women is
almost Munchausen fable founded on fact,
to which these Southern women may listen
with the awe of children, but with little or
no desire to initiate US.
"Women, ladies. work in the United
States, earn their own clothes and pay for
what they eat?" asked the wife of a South
American dignitary. :"What a niggardly
set of men they must be!'' And she affec-
tionately patted her rich laces, admired the
jewels flashing on her plump brown fingers,
and doubtlessly secretly dubbed Juan not
bad fellow,

MOTHER OF THE SULTAN.
She Is Supreme and Exacts salaams and
Ceremony From Everybody.

She Is Supreme and E1acts Salaams and
Ceremony From Everybody.
New York SUM-
The harem is not, as might be supposed, a
community. 1t is union of small, distinct
States; each one having its administration
and forming confederation under the all
powerful direction of the Sultan's mother.
There is quite a ceremonial for everything
relating to this grand mistress of the harem.
No one can call upon her withous first hav-
ing made the request or received an invita-
tion. 1t is not permitted to sit in her pres
ence; the person received must remain
standing, the hands crossed upon the breast,
the head more or less inclined, and thus
wait until the august parsonage deigns to
to ask a question or authorizes the caller to
speak. Every reply must be accompanied by
a profound reverence and by the sacramentaI
words: eyes, our ladyI" or "No, our
ladyp' All visitors are obliged to wear full
dress, and even the first favorite of the
Sultan would not venture to call upon the
sovereign's mother except in low-neck
toilet such as is worn at European courts.
All these evidences of respect and venera-
tion are shown outside of the palace as we'll
as within. When the Sultan's mother goes
out, escorted by her princely suite, the
guard presents arms and she often passes
through double line of prostrated Mussel-
men praying the mother of their Padishah
to intercede for them with her son. The
high-born and the rich are not less respect
ful than the common people.

JUMPING MONKS OF RUSSIA.

The Men Read Scriptures With Noisy
Commentaries and the Women Spit
New York SUM-
A new sect has been discovered In ths
Government of Orenburg, the sdherents of
which are called by their neighbors ''the
jumping monks" They eat no flesh, drink
no alcoholic beverages, and use no tobacco
in any form. They attend the service of
the orthodox church, but this does not en-
tirely satisfy their religious cravings. They,
therefore, hold private meetings at which
they read Scripture with their own peculiar
commentaries, recite prayers, and sing
hymns, dancing and clapping with their
hands.
They stand by each other In veal and
woe like real brothers, and are very kind
and courteous to strangers. Their '1ittle
SISTERS" as they call the female members Of
their sect, on meeting q stranger turn away
