facts it is the peremptory duty of the
Government to resuScitate measures
for tho inspection of live stock and

diseases of plants regarding which

Only at intervals from behind Il screen

JAPANESE GAMESTERS.

Some of the Games to Which They De-
vote Their Time.
The little men of Japan arc the gam
lest gamblers in the east. The average
Jap, says the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat, will play the shirt off his back
any day.in the week. Their favorite
game, and, indeed, the national, is
''harra," or, in English, flower. The
cards are little oblong slips of paste
board, forty eight in the deck. These
are divided into twelve series, each
representing 4 month. Ten of these
combinations bear the picture IN bright
colors of some flower. The other two,
August and November, arc represented
by rain pictures and the moon, respect
lively. There are generally six players,
and four cards each, with three IL the
table, is the original deal. The game
is Il sort of combination of the features
OF casino, euchrc and poker, is easily
and quickly played and, to the Japs, is
deeply intercsting-thc more SO as they
bet heavily. There arc two three big
japanese gambling houses here, and
they are we'll patronizcd and profitable.
The drop is only ten per cent. of
every pool put up. Cappcrs for these
games watch every incoming steamer
from the Orient, and when a newcomer
is at all approachablc he is introduced
to ''harra" joint.

WHY HE GOT UP.

There Was No Hypnotism About 1t, but

car was chocll full, and all the men on

determination to keep u position of
sedentary comfort. Mrs. Lease cast
her eye down the car and at the same
time a stupid man in the corner started
to rise.
''Don't," said the man next to him,
grasping his arm. That's Mrs. Lease.
Don't you know her? She believes in
equality OF the sexes. Woman suffrage,
you know"
The stupid man smiled and got up.
Come" said the speaker, still more
importunatc, you're not going to get
up, arc you? If she thinks she's equal

of her own medicine. See, ch?'
But Mrs. Lease had taken the man
seat, greatly TO the discontinue of the
other, who wanted to see her stand.
Next day he met the stranger on the
street
Hello" he said, you're the man
that gave up your seat to Mrs. Lease.
You missed q good chance to take her
down a little. There wasn't another
man in the car who would have given
way. Wasn't impolite. you know. Just

Hair Turned suddenly yyb,te

William Gormly is farmer near
Newcastle. He has been making n
tunnel in the side of the hill to a spring
for the purpose of carrying water to Il
field below. John Grimes was en-
ploycd to dig the tunnel. When he had
proceeded about thirty feet into the hill
and was about twenty feet from the
surface, he found himself in n cavelille
hollow, the roof of which was rock, in
which there was crack from which he
could see light. When he reached the
hollow or cave the hill apparently sank
in where he had been digging and he
found himself prisoner twenty feet
under ground. He called for help
and later Mr.. Gormly procured assist
ancc, and, after working all night, re-
leased him the next day, after being in
the hole eighteen hours. Mr.. Grimes

they have come in again they are
feather toques or feather capotes. But
they are still the same in shape.
The newest ones, which are after all
merely n repetition Of the old ones, are
made of the smooth heavy breasts
(which were so much used for trimming
i'm the past. -Four are required for
hat. 1t is prettier to have them all of
one color. If you make your hat at
home, get crown which exactly fits
your head, and by exactly fitting is
Emeant one which sets tightly over the
top of your head and feels as snug as Il
mans hat appears to feel on his head
Then, when you have trimmed your hat,
ut will be just the right size to be be-
coming.
Take two of the breasts and put one
of them on each side of the hat, letting
the ends meet in the back taking care
that they overlap u little in the front.
This entirely covers the side, front and
back of the crown. Now, take two
more of the breasts and cover the top of
the hat with them. DO not attempt any
thing in the way of extra ornaments
for the breasts are so smooth and
pretty and glossy that they are sufficient
drumming IN themselves.
If You make your hat properly and
have selected the right color of feath-
iers, you will have the prettiest kind of
a hat to wear all the autumn. and one
that is bound to be becoming to you no
matter what style of beauty you may
possess.
Tweed will always hold it's own for
street wear as long as it continues to
be fashionable in London. You know
that London ladies always wear tweeds
for the street, and that no woman con-
siders herself properly dressed for shop
ping or for everyday expeditions I'M
less she has on q gown made of this ma
terial.
New York ladies, with the style and
taste for which they are remarkable,
have taken this same kind of material
and have varied it SO III the making,
that instead of being commonplace and
dnonotonous, it is quite novel and strik-
ing.
For example, gray tweed dress
checked in blue and another shade of
gray was seen yesterday. prettily made
hn the usual jacket and plain skirt
style, but varied in appearance by hav-
Ding vest OF fawn-colorcd surah The
vest was very full and was gathered in
atthc waist line to n very narrow point,
giving the wearer that long, slim effect
which is so highly sought. No buttons
were visible.
Still another tweed dress of gray is
combined with vest of gray silk

black velvet strings crossed under the
wearer's chin and were brought up at
the back of the head and fastened with
u jeweled pin.
The prettiest autumn gown that has
been seen lately was n combination of
gray cheviot and blncll. 1t was an i'm
ported gown and seemed to have the in
describable touch which characterizcs
dresses that are made on ''thc other
side" and are sent over the water.
The woman who wore it was inclined
to be stout and one could see that every
trick of the dressmalSer's art had been
called into play to conceal this too
abundant avoirdupois and to make the
woman appear ut least forty pounds
lighter than her real weight.
And quite successful was the attempt.
Her arms, which were very large boned
and fat, would have appeared like huge
sausages if they had been stuffed into
tight sleeves, and they would have
nude n still worse show if the fashion
able full sleeve had been put upon
them.
And it is here that the consummate
art of the dressmaller caIhc into fullest
play. The woman's appearance would
have been doomed if she had been left
to ordinary hands, but with the cum
ming dressmaller which she chose she
came out really very good form as to
her arms.
The shoulder puff of her sleeves was
black, and so also was the large puff at
the elbow. Drawn over these two puffs
and separating them was the gray ma
terial, which was stretched tightly
around the arm midway between the
elbow and shoulder, and again between
the elbow and the wrist. 1t was laced
ut the back with black cord, and was
finished at the wrist with another cord
ing.
You can fancy how pretty was the eff
feet of such Il sleeve, which was full
and yet not full, tight and yet not tight.
The waist was treated i'll the same way.
Like old Grimes coat it was "all but
toned down before" but 4 series of re-
vers overlapping each other and long
tails upon the basque set off the tight
fitting coat in such n graceful way that
the effect was truly an artistic one.
The skirt was slashed about the foot
and puffings of black were let in The
slashings were laced with black cord,
and the skirt was so short that there
was no danger of 4 bedragglcd appear

a bride seldom looks pretty upon her
wedding day. The excitement and
nervousness of the occasion is apt to
drive the color from her face, and the
long train and flowing veil instead of
being becoming, arc very trying. The
train detracts from the height and the
veil has stiff effect.
At the wedding of the new Lady Dud-
ley sense of the artistic was shown
by putting the veil on SO that it was
slightly elevated at the back. The
front of it was pinned closely to the
hair, and pompadour effect was pro-

son.cthing About tho Abuse of Athletic

Something About tho Abuse OF Athletic
Sports.
A distinguished American author
writing from England, remarks that
the "canlscr" of athletic sports is inst
as prevalent in the schools and colleges
of Great Britain us it is in those of the
United States.
CanlSer, says Youths Companion, is d
strange word to use in such n connec-
ton. 1t meant originally the same us
cancer, Latin word for crab, but in
modern days applied to terrible dis
ease that slowly and secretly eats it's
way to the vital orguns.
AS all good things are abused, so are
athletic exercises, but surely there is
nothing about them that ought to sug-
gcst cancerous disease. If this Amcri-
can traveller will cross over to Germany,
he may there discover state of things
in the colleges and universities that
savors strongly of canker. He will not
find any popular enthusiasm about ball
games, nor any athletic or aquatic con-
tests between rival universities; but he
will meet abundant evidence that too
much anxious study, relieved by fight
ing ducls and drinking beer, produces
effects upon students that may be cor
rcctly called deadly.
The abuses of our athletic system are
known and lamcntcd; but we should
not on that account undervalue those
sports which not only strengthen and
discipline those who take part in them,
but furnish cXhilarating topics of
thought and conversation to the whole
community of students.
With us, the years spent in tho high
school and college are generally our
happicst, and it is rare indeed that an
American student has so much as q
thought of wiclledly taking his own
life, or of putting to hazard the life of
another
