JAPANESE WOMEN.
They Wear Comfortable Loose
Robes and Love Flowers.

Many Japanese customs resemble
Chinese customs, and they make great
use of perfumes and cosmetics. The
Japanese women. indeed. make fear
full use of cosmetics; they first paint
their faces with white lead and then
color their cheeks and lips with car
mine. They keep these and other COS
metics with their paint brushes In lit
tie box covered by cushion, which
serves as pillow. They also take great
pride in the arrangement of their hair.

over with pins, flowers and other orna-

The Japanese, indeed. are passion
ately of flowers, which they cultivate
all the year round. They have also
different flower for every month of the
year. Thus, the plum tree is dedicated
to February, the first month Of the
Japanese year

Japanese women are much ugller and
have worse figures than the men, though
there are some very pretty Japanese
ladies, exceptions to the general rule.
They would look better if they did not
paint their cheeks, lips and noses so
much.
They wear long robes. often made Of
very coarse materials, the poor wearing
robes of straw or Seaweed plated to-
gether. Only the very wealthy wear
those beautiful Japanese stuffs which
we are accustomed to associate with all
japanese women.
When female infants receive their
names they are presented with boxes of
perfumes, which are to serve them so
soon as they are old enough to use
them. Male infants are presented with
fans, which are worn instead of swords
until the boy is seven years of age,
when two swords are attached to his
side.
Japanese soldiers carry fans in their
hands like swords. Some Japanese
warriors are so clever with their fans
that by turning them about in all direc-
tons they continue to dazzle the eyes
of their adversaries until they have
them completely in their power, when

The light felts, such as will be worn
quite late in the spring, show loops of
velvet on the light tan and mode, as
well as gray, olive. light red, and sage

are usually decorated with a darker

[ORIGIN OF THE LULLABY
Traced Back to an Exercising
Charm of the Middle Ages.

According to the Jewish Talmud,
Lillth. the failed mother of demons"
was taken to wife by Adam, our first
parent, prior to the appearance of Eve
on the scene. Being the legendary
mother of all evil spirits. one woul d
quite naturally accept the story as
fact when told that she became unman-
ageable, and tried to supersede Adam
as lord of all creation. Thwarted in
these. her evil designs, she took to the
regions of the air, where, as specter
in the guise of a beautiful woman. she
lies in wait for and pounces upon de-
tenseless children. Some ignorant Eu-
ropean Jews believe that the beautiful
murderess still inhabits the air above
our earthly abOdeS, waiting with the
patience of demon for chance to
murder their little ones. II is said that
the word LULLABY" is corruption of
the words "Lillia. abb" or "Begone,
Lilith," words used as charm by the
superstitiouS mothers of the middle

Fatal Mine Accident.

William Collins, ropeman at the
Chollar mine, Virginia City, was
instantly killed shortly after noon
Sunday. Collins and Jack Dingle
were arranging the cage cable on the
engine reel in the hosting works.
The cage was down the shaft. Several
hundred feet of cable were clamped at
the mouth of the shaft and taut to
to shelves in the roof of the building.
Between the shelves and engine reel
were eighty feet of slack, some lying
on the floor. Collins was leaning
over the slack rope directing the oper-
ations when the weight of the cage
and cable in the shaft, several tons,
caused the rope to slip through the
clamp. The cage dropped a distance
of eighty feet, and the slack rope be-
came taut in a second, catching Col
Inns, throwing him twelve feet
towards the roof of the building. He
was dead when he struck the floor.
The force with which the rope tight
ened broke the bones of the left breast,
some of which pierced his heart. As
he struck the floor the force of the
fall broke the left leg OF the body.
The coroner took charge OF the re-
mains.
Collins was sIngularly unfortunate.
On Sunday, the 9th of April, he was
nearly killed in the same mine while
removing the arms of the cable reel.
He also had a leg broken while
working at the Ward shaft. He
was d divorced man, the father of
two children.
