Row Johnston Trains for DixOn-Hand-
ball and Coursine.
Speaking of the Johnston and Dixon in
ternational fight. which will be decided TO-
morrow evening at the Coney Island Ath-
letic Club, the Boston Globe says of John
ston:
Fred Johnston's method OF training is vastly
different from that of Dixon. He arises at 6
O'Clock every morning and retlres at $3.50
o'clock at night, and during the . hours and
30 minutes his every move Is reg ulated by
time ble.
Fifteen minutes before O'clock in the morn.

6:I5 he is aG breakfast, at $3.50 \. NJ. he is TAX
ing sweat, at noon he has bath, aud so it
goes all the DAY.
IL from any cause his trainer detains him for
five minutes, Johnston reminds him that time
flies. IL dinner Is late or an obj ctionable per-
son Is near him, Johnston gives his trainer the

ing his daily allowance OF ale. He never uses
glass, but drinks from the bottle. and insists that
the cork be pulled In his presence.
1t is not that lie Is suspicious OF any or those
around him, but he exercises the care because
he considers an ounce OF prevention worth

one of the appliances used by Johnston I'm
training is an object of curiosity To people who
have seen him at work. This Is a mask which
ne uses 10 swear his race. III Is an ola ueN1ce,
but is obsolete In America, and when the good
people on Coney Island saw Fred working with
his head and face covered they were amazed.
That their establishment caused fun for the
fighter goes without saying, and when a cut OF
his head eneased in the mask appeared in
newspaper lie laughed and remarked, Il am not

One thing that Johnston wonders at Is the ap-
parent lack of work native pugillsts indulge in.

has been lax IN training.
AL the present time the betting is slightly In
favor OF Dixon, but number of bets at even
money have been made in this city.

A Pretty Irish Girl.

s'Do you know how very pretty a
pretty Irish girl is?" asks well-known
and enthusiastic writer. ''She is tall
and slender. Crisp little black curls
lie against her white neck. Her skin
is clear red and white, and her fine
black brows and curved lashes accent
uate it. And then, her eyes. Why
should poets sing of the dangerous orbs
of Oriental hours or the violet eyes of
the fair women of the north when the
Irish girl has them all at one and the
same time? Starry eyes have sparkle
and glow. You think they are darkly
brown until some day she turns them
upon you as she stands in the sunlight,
and sapphire is not more blue, and
as you watch her in surprise they are
gray and they are black, and you de-
spair of telling what color they are,
but are content to watch them assume
whatever shade they will; and then if
the brogue is not too pronounced, what
a charm it constitutes to unaccustomed

The chief distinction between the
appearance of the male and female
Japanese lies in the hair. The men
shave nearly the whole of the head,
while the women allow the hair to
grow and even add to it by art when
required. 1t is then twisted and coiled
into elaborate and fantastic patterns
which few eastern hairsdressers could
initiate or equal. The hairpins used
are not SO much for combining the locks
in their places as for actual adornment
and are very fashionable. They are
of enormous size, seven or eight inches
in length and half an inch wide, and
are made of various substances, tor
toise shell, carved wood and ivory,
many of them being composed of
carved figures adroitly pivoted SO as to
appear to dance at every breath drawn
by the wearer. Others are made of
glass and are hollow and nearly filled
with some bright-colored liquid, so
that at every movement of the head
an air bubble runs from one end OF the
pin to the other, producing most GU
rious effect in a strong light. Some
times an extra fashiona bic woman Will
wear a dozen or more of these pins in
her hair. so that at 4 little distance her
head looks as if Il bundle of firewOod
had been loosely stuck into it. The
higher in rank the Japanese woman the
more elaborate her couture is likely to
be.-The Gentlewoman.

There lived in Helena an English lady,
