The "sIanIy Art" in Japan.
GalignanPs Messenger.


'The noble art of self-defense" as prac-
ticed in Japan has just been lucidly ex-
planned by Japanese gentleman in lecture
delivered in the hall of the Society of Arts.
The science was brought from China in the
sixteenth century, and is now taught in the
numerous schools scattered all over the
country.
at Toxic, where the chief institution is sit
uated, thousands of young men annually un-
dergo a course OF training, and all the police
men of the city are compelled to show eff
cheney in the art before they are engaged.
The science differs from the British system
of self-defense, in that it seeks to obtain vic
tory by ingenuity and eXpertness, coupled
with a knowledge of certain anatomical
facts, rather than by mere force.
Some practical eX eriments with the in
teresting science were given by two Japa-
nese gentlemen who, despite the fact that
they professed themselves mere nOvices,
illustrated in very striking way the lngen-
uity of the japanese method of overcoming
an enemy. Altogether it was most III ter
esting evening, and if the Japan society
goes on as well as it has commenced il will
make name for itself.

A MIDNIGHT LAUNCH.
The New Mail Steamer Peru
Glides Into the Bay.
The Start Prematurely Made-An Unbroken
Bottle and Delayed Christening.
q Handsome Vessel

The spectacle Of a midnight launch is
sufficiently uncommon to merit special
reference and a word of explanation. The
new mail steamer Peru, which will be the
particular Californian pride Of the Pa
cifc Mail Company's fleet, was launched
just befor midnight last night for
the all-sufficient reason that the vessel Is a
big one and big tide was necessary to
float her as she left the ways. The Union
Iron Works has a reputation for success
which it could not afford to lose, and In
this case the MesSrs. Scott prudently elected
to take no chances.
The Mllen Griffith took down the Mail
company's IeOple and the invited guests.
The ROckaway was engaged to take the rep
resentatives of the press. The Rock

A SHERIFF. In PETTICOATS.
She Succeeds In Arresting n Desperat,
Character in Kansas.


Chicago Times
One Of the peculiarities of the Kansas
equal suffrage law was seen in Wichita a
few days ago when woman came in and
went to a saloon, from which she soon re-
turned, having in charge a man with hand
cuffs on his wrists. The woman was Mrs.
Henry Weaver, Deputy Sheriff, and the
man was a fellow known as Jake Wilson,
who was wanted for stealing horses.
Jake has a reputation of being tough
citizen. and on several occasions he has
stood off posses of deputy sheriffs and made
his escape into Colorado before he could be
taken In. In fact 80 bad was his reputation
as a killer that no man has ever felt like
trying to arrest him alone
When 1t was learned that Jake was In the
town alone last Monday Mrs. Weaver took
the warrant, which had been lying on the
Sberiff's desk for some time, and immedi-
ately made search for the the man. She
learned that he was in a certain saloon and
went there after him. Walking up 10 the
astonished man she slapped him on the
shoulder and as he turned toward her she
slipped the bracelets on his wrists and told
him to make no fuss or he would get the
worst OF it. AS soon as the surprise passed
away Jake was much amused at the turn Of
affairs and told her that If she had just sent
him word that she wanted to see him he

BEAUTY AND EDUCATION.
An EBglishman Declares the Female g

Boston Journal
Sir James Crichton Browne is a man Of
decided courage. In an address to the Medi-
cal Society of London he attacks the abuse
Of the education of the Young girl. He
claims that as the weight of the female
brain is smaller in proportion TO the size of
the body, and as the specific gravity Of gray
matter is less in the female brain than in
the male brain, therefore the woman should
not pursue her studies assiduously. This
argument Is not. however, of as serious i'm
portance as the grave charge brought by
Sir James against high schools for girls.
"Some of their methods are capable of
leading to great evils
He saw lately score of graduates from a
celebrated college. MANY of them had a
stoo ping gait and withered appearance,
shrunk shanks and spectacle on nose" And

mained ignorant of l0garithms than that
they lost a jot of it." Sir James is evil
IDENTIFY one of those fine old conservatives
