The Women OF Japan.

japanese women possess subtle and
fascinating charm for other literary trav-
elels besides the poet Arnold, whose su-
perlative lauda;on of their graces is re-
sented by the feminine world A recently
returned English writer attributes the
sweet, attractive personality of these gen
tie ladies to the subsection to which they
have been compelled to submit for so many
centuries. Their dependence has devel-
oped in them desire to please, an unset
fishness and an absence of self conscious
ness, and has endowed them with the
winning grace which exercises so powerful
an influence upon all who are brought into
contact with them.
All of which being interpreted signifies
that the "clinging vine" tradition still
holds good with the average masculine
mind, and the woman who copies the win
some, sunny grace of happy childhood, the
pretty, unselfish ambition of flowers, SIM
ply to please, will probably have little oc-
casion to worry over inequalities in educa-
tional advantages, franchise privileges or
opportunities and wages in the industrial
world.

Influence of Pets on Children.

nuisance about the house, even when they
make great deal of trouble. They make
a very essential part of home training.
do not know of any other way of instilling
the idea so thoroughly that our own hap

who are about us. II often seems as il
nine-tenths of the dogs about were worse
than useless, that they only serve to take
the food that might be used elsewhere.
But when think again, can see that
nearly every one has the love of some boy
or girl, or even helps to make rough man
trifie less rough than he would be. This
must not be carried too far but 1t is a gen
eral truth that the love of animals should
be encouraged. This is specially true of
birds and squirrels. A pet lamb does a
wonderful amount of good in softening
the family jars and encouraging gentle

To Correct Round Shoulders.

One Of the most frequent deformities
against which women must continually
fight, especially mothers with young chill
dren, Is that of round shoulders and a
STOPPING figure. just observe how many
such there are in any gathering. Even
the best natural figures will often show
this tendency unless some care is taken to
prevent, especially II their work is Of such
nature as to keep them sitting at desk
all day, bending over q machine or doing
many kinds of housework; while thin, mar
row chested women are very likely to
stoop before middle age.
Teachers Of physical culture say this
may be entirely ratified by very simple
and easily performed exercise, that of
raising ones self upon the toes leisurely
in a perpendicular position several times
daily. To do this properly one must be in
aperfectly upright position, with the heels
together ana the toes at an angle of As
degs., dropping the arms by the side. In.
fiating and raising the chest to it's full ca
pacity is a part Of the exercise, q process
which the lungs soon begin to show To
exercise all the muscles of the legs and
body one must rise very slowly on the
balls of both feet to the greatest possible
height and then come again into standing
position without swaying the body out of
its perpendicular line. This will be the
most difficult part of the exercise but
may he accomplished by patience and per-
severance. After awhile the same may
be tried first on one foot, then on the other.
In order to prevent round shoulders in
school children teachers should never ask
them to fold their arms in front, but
rather to place them behind the back,
which occasionally is good practice. giving
as 1t does the fullest expression to the up
per part OF the body. For this reason more
care Is taken now than formerly to see
that children sit properly, with the spine
kept straight and chest expanded

a Busy Won an.

Marianne North. who spent her time and
talent in painting the fora of the tropical
regions of the earth, was one of the busiest
of women, and so well contented with her
lot in life that her autobiography has been
well named the "Recollections of Happy
Life"
In fifteen years of travel she did an
amount of work which might have occu-
pied an ordinary lifetime.
She visited North and South America,
Africa, Hindostan, Japan, the West In
dies and Australasia. Neither heat nor
cold deferred her from seeking her hearts
desire.
Her first introducti on to the public was
through the loan Of her pictures to the
South kensington museum. When ne
gotiations were in progress two gentlemen
were sent to look at her work, and one
was overheard saying to the other as they
entered:
1--WE must get out Of this civilly some
how. I know what these amateur things
always are"
After looking at the collection, however,
he cried enthusiastically, I'VE must have
them at any price!"
When the gallery was finally opened to
the public one visitor said to Miss North,
not knowing who she was:
"It isn't true that all these are painted
by one woman, is it?"

He seized her by both hands and ex-
claimed; "You Then it's lucky you didn t

Lady Students at McGill.

The girls at McGill spend nearly every
day from to O'Clock at college. Be-
tween lectures they visit the library or
museum, or seek the seclusion of their
"sanctum sanctorum," the reading room.
Here between l2 and we may see the
honor philosophy or classic student, her
pile of books around her, peering over the
pages of one of the humorous weekliesl
BY her side the gymnast of the year is
culling spiritual refreshments from the
Church Magazine. On the table all the
best current magazines are to be found.
Old numbers are auctioned off as the new
ones come in Here the college girl keeps
herself in touch with what is going on in
the literary, social and political world
around her, and 1t is probably her only op-
portunity of doing so. She has little time
for evening dissipation and cannot stand
the drain of late hours.
The time not spent in the classroom is
devoted mostly to study and exercise. The
college girl is then essentially not society
girl, and yet, may venture to say, she is
the happier of the two. She carries the
secret behind her bright eyes and between
her book covers, and enjoys her occasional
social outings with more genuine pleasure
than the "blasee" second-or-third-se season
girl of the period. Helen r, Y. Reid in

The Right Use for Linen.

The world, or this part of it at least, Is
full Of housekcepers who think that there
is no material for sheets and pillow cases
comparable to linen. They don't always
have it, to be sure, because 1t is expensive,
but they always covet it and finger the
shining breadths lovingly and wonder IL
the time will ever come when all these
things shall he added unto them. But the
truth about linen is that 1t isn't the ideal
dressing for beds at all. 1t is cold and slip
perry and insures sensitive persons the
dream Of sleeping on an iceberg, which does
well enough for an occasional experience,
like seasickness, but which pals on too
frequent repetition. Besides that, it
wrinkles and tumbles in spite of its heavier
body, much more than cotton does, giving
a bed, after one nights use, most slovenly
and uninviting appearance.
Nobody recommends linen for body wear.
Its firm texture and hard surface makes It
wholly nonabsorbent: it allows the body to
become chilled by refusing the perspira-
tion, and SO has been known to bring on
serious illness. For outside wear In sum-
mer linen may be tolerated rs clothing, but
nowhere else. Where, however. it Is at it's
most useful and best is in household uses.
For table services, for the toilet and for
minor ornamental details 1t is simply in
valuable; its smoothness of texture, it's
brilliancy, which laundering ever increases,
its exquisite freshness, makes it the one
fabric fit to drape the dining table and to
use in the toilet, while its suitability for
needlework decoration makes il admirable
for all kinds of fancy work. And here it
is rightfully used but to wear next the
skin and sleep in-no.-Pittsburg Dis

For neuralgia in the head apply the plas-
