The separate coach bill will be in
troduced, but it is possible, SO some
think, that it will hardly become a
law, as such regulation will doubtless
be left for the commission.

OF course the organization of the
two houses will be attended with the
usual excitement and scramble for
the various positions and committee

dry grind of business and tireless de-
bate.

From a masterful sire the calves in

remain parallel to the floor and hardly
leave it. The result is slovenly shut
fling, aggravated in the house by loose
slippers always on the point of drop
ping off, and out of doors by horrible
wooden clogs The clogs are fastened
to the mittened foot by simple cord
or thong passing between the big toe
and the other toes. Every time the
foot is raised the clogs leave the sole
and at every step come down on the
ground with ridiculous CHATTER. The
current notion that the Chinese custom
of mutilating the feet by compression
prevails in Japan is entirely incorrect.
On the contrary japanese women go
to the opposite extreme of never
wearing any combining shoes, in
consequence of which their feet
seem to us relatively broad and fiat.
The ungracefulness of the Japanese
woman's gait is further aggravated by
the absurd tightness of the skirts.
The kimono, or tea gown. as worn by
the men in and out of the house, is
tight enough to hamper them serious
ly in active movements, wherefore pill
grims and other mountain climbers
and tourists discard it, covering their
limbs only with cotton drawers. But

An observer has been among tigers
taking notes, and has given the results

general rule, he is inclined to doubt the
truth of the commonly accepted theory
that the tiger, after lurking in ambush,
springs on The unsuspecting victim, and,
tearing savagely at his throat, eagerly
drinks his blood. This method of attack
may sometimes be adopted. but it is far
more often the exception than the rule.

ably marks attributable to the above
mentioned method" In removing his
prey the tiger frequently displays al
most phenomenal strength and activity.
In one case cited by the author, a young
tigress leaped up a perpendicular rock
some six feet high with man weighing
nearly eleven stone in her jaws, and On
another occasion male tiger dragged
an exceptionally large buffalo up a bank
at least ten feet high. Whether these
anecdotes accord or not with the indi-
vidual experiences Of other shikaris,
they are at least an interesting addition

GEN. GRANTS OLD HOME.

An Historic Relic to Re Exhibited at the
Worlds Fair.
The historic log cabin in st. Louis
County, Mo-, which the late Gen.
Grant erected with his own hands, and
with logs cut and hewn by himself, is
about to be removed from its present
site and shipped to Chicago, where it
will be regretted for exhibition at the
Worlds Fair. The cabin, says Frank
Leslies Newspaper, stands on an
eighty-acre tract of land, on the Jeffer-
son Barracks and Rock Hill road,
about ten miles southwest of st. Louis.
The land was given to Mrs. Grant as
a wedding present by her father, Mr..
Frederick T. Dent, on the occasion of
her marriage to the General, thon
Lieutenant Grant, Aug. %, 1913. The
cabin was erected in the fall of 1854,
just after Grants return from the Pa

A Unique Trustee.

The Wilmington (Del. Star tells of
trustee unique for his honesty and
disinterestedness. He was appointed
trustee in 1872, at which time the es-
tate was valued at about $4,000.
His final settlement shows, as re-
suit of his manipulation, an estate val
ued at between $500. 900 and $500. 600.
In the course of the settlement the
register allowed his mastery financier

How the Children of the Crowded Tene-
ment Districts in Chicago Are Being
Helped to Enjoy short Play->pen in
the Green Fields Some Incidents OF
Their Visits.
TCHICAGo CORRESPONDENTS.
An organization to give away fresh
air, to hand around sunshine, to dis
tribute glimpses of blue skies and
whiffs OF perfume from new-mown
fields. That reads like superfuous
kindness to people who live among
such things these summer days, but 1t
means great happiness to the thou
sands who would get the pure air and
the sunshine no other way.
One of these dispensers of Natures
gifts is the Country Week" instl-
tuted by leading Chicago newspaper.
Chicago has hundreds of thou
sands of poor children who know
very little of the beauty of the
country. Some of them don't
know the difference between a
saw buck and milking-stool. Thou
sands of them never saw blackberries
growing, and good many of them
wouldn't know a blackberry if they
saw it, SO seldom do luxuries come to
them.
Every summer, Country Week"
parties are sent out by the Fresh
Air fund. Some of the excursionists
have developed an ignorance of coun-
try life that would be amusing if it
were not pathetic. One little fellow
who was sent to Michigan home for
his visit saw a brood of chickens for
the first time. The little arab had
lost his father and mother when he
was baby, and had been adopt
ed by neighbors. When he saw
all the chicks following one moth
err it puzzled him. He watched
them long time, trying to figure
out the problem. Finally his face
lighted up, and he exclaimed, triumph
antly, ooh, I know now! She adopted
them all !"
His solution was so full of meaning
to the motherless wanderer that the
kind woman who entertained him had
not the heart to undeceiye him, and
that boy probably thinks to this day

scratching and clucking for charitys
sake.
The list of such experiences is al
most endless. Surrounded at home
by poverty, shut in by city walls, and
viewing the heavens through clouds of
factory smoke. the children hardly
know what to do with the seemingly
inexhaustible riches of the country,
To have all the room one wants;
to walk on carpets of grass
with no one to demonstrate; to see
broad horizons of blue, bounded by
leafy trees and green kills-that is the
"country-weeker's" vacation. And the
delight does not end there. The visit
is an education, an initiation into the
best of Natures teachings, and after
wards beautiful memory to be carried
through life of care and toll.
The plan of the Country Week" is
very simple. People who have coun-
try homes within $50 miles of Chicago
volunteer to entertain the boys and
girls or their mothers. Other people
send money to the fresh air fund.
All the money that is contributed
goes toward sending some youngster
where he can be better and happier
than he ever thought possible. It is a
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1891-07-30

the kimono as worn by the women is
more inconvepient sti |, for around it
piece of dressing material is wound
several times, so tightly that it is i'm
possible for them to take any but the
very short and shutting steps which
are prescribed by fashion. This makes
them almost as awkward and helpless
as if they were Chinese women with
crippled feet.
In physiognomic mobility, and varie
ty and defniteness of expression, Jap
anese women are doubtless, as rule,
inferior to our women; but by way of
atonement they have fixed facial ex-
preston of amiability and girlish
sweetness that is extremely fascina-
ting. This charming expression, which
is result of the habits of obedience,
kindly disposition, and desire to please,
inbred and cultivated from their child
hood, is common to all classes, from
the humblest to the highest.
In courteousness, aesthetic taste,
good manners and personal cleanliness
the lowly and ignorant women of Japan
are far superior to the corresp ending
grade in America Or Europe, and, in
deed, to many VINO make pretenses %
a higher sphere.
Besides the expression of amiability,
there is another one of contentment
and absence of worry that attracts one
in these women. This is found even
in the servant maids, who are always
at beck and CALL even in the laborers
in the muddy, malodorous rice fields,
in hot sum- even in the poor women
and girls who for one cent an hour
spend ten hours day stirring tea with
their bare hands in hot kettle.
AS regards sparkling, laughing eyes.
it would be difficult to find anything to
match the dark orbs of the Japanese
maidens when you chaff them in En-
glish, which sounds SO funny to them,
or in your japanese, which sounds
more funny still. They are the mer-
riest girls in the world, always ready
to laugh on the slightest provocation,
and their laugh is as musical as their
Language.

feet freedom, and left in something of
the freedom of their native jungle.
Even live game has been supplied to
them, so that the fingers and leopards
and lynxes could hunt for prey as their
natural instincts dictated.

He Was a Wise Brute.

Mrs. F. w. Robinson, of New Haven,
Conn, has black spaniel that alb
stracted feather buster from the sit
ting-room and took it out in the yard
to play with. During his frolic the
feathers were all torn out. Mrs. Rob-
inson took the handle away and gave
the dog severe whipping, at the same
time showing him the featherless han
die. About an hour afterward the dog
walked gravely into the yard with a
brand-new buster, like the one he had
destroyed, in his mouth. He walked
up to his mistress and meekly depos-
tied the new brush at her feet. By the
mark on it she saw that the dog had
stolen it from neighboring fancy
