They're Pretty Japanese Girls. aud TheL
Dancing Is Fascinating.
While at Kioto, the old capital OF
Japan, says correspondent of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, we saw a
Geishs dance. 1t is called Geisha
dance, but really the Geishas, pretty
girls of eighteen or thcreabouts, play
the samisen and koto, and the little
girls of twelve to sixteen, called
MailSos, do the dancing. The night
speak of we went in rilzishas to the tea
house selected. and were met at the
door by the servants, who unlaced our
shoes, as never by any chance could
you enter Japanese house with shoes
on. 1t would ruin the fine, soft mats
and polished floors. We were then
ushered upstairs to room facing the
river, where the dance was to take
place. As soon as we were seated on
the floor. servant came in, who, after.
repeated bows and smiles, presented
us with cups of tea and sake (the
Japanese brandy, both hot, and then
in came another servant and another
with cakes and nice candy.
And then, when all was ready, in
came the pretty Geishas and little
Maikos, who looked like butterflies in
the gorgeously colored silk embroi-
dered kimonos, and the dance, or rather
dances, for there were several, began.
The dancing is slow and sedate. more
like minuet than anything else, and
exquisitely graceful and without
trace of immodesty. And right here
let me say that, while the Japanese
standard of morality is quite different
from ours, my Judgment is that the
Japanese, left to themselves, are
naturally refined and modest people
and free from much of that prudery
which is engrafted on our civilization.
At the end of each dance the little
Maikos gravely walked over to the
Geishas and thanked them in the pretti-
est way for playing and singing. After
the dance we all had a little supper to-
gether. An Austrian friend with me
was in his element at these gatherings.
and l am afraid broke several little
japanese hearts. When we came away
that night, the lovliest Geisha Of all.
and one of the professional beauties OF
Kioto, walked over to him, and with
the prettiest blush, presented him with
the ivory chop-sticks she had used, as a
keepsake

REAL CHILDREN IN LITERATURE

Proper Children of the yyiseacres.

They Arc Crowded Out by the Eminentiy
Proper children of the Wiseacres.
The wise mentors in conventional lit
erature virtually tell you that child
literature wants no real children in 1t;
that the real child's example of defect
i've grammar and lack of elegant de-
pertinent would furnish to its little pa
trician patrons suggestions very hurtful
indeed to their higher morals, tenden-
cies and ambitions, writes James Whit
comb Riley in the Forum. Then, al
though the general public couldn't for
the life of it see why or how, and might
even be reminded that it was just such
a rowdying child itself, and that its
father-the father of his country--was
just such child; that Abraham Lincoln
was just such lovable, lawless child;
all-all this argument would not avail In
the least, since the elegantly minded
purveyors of child literature cannot
possibly tolerate the presence Of any
but the refined children the very
proper children - the studiously
thoughtful. poetic children-and these
must be kept safe from the contaminat-
ing touch OF our ough-and-tumble little
fellows in holden gray with frowzly
heads. begrimed but laughing faces,
and such awful, awful vulgarities Of
naturalness. and crimes of simplicity,
and brazen faith and trust, and love OF
life and everybody in IT. All other real
people are getting into literature and
without some real children along will
they not soon be getting lonesome. tool

The old cornfield on the Washington

1t is customary to say that modern
science has conquered all the dangers of
the open sea except that of fog The
New York World declares that those
who say so are mistaken. We build
ships that can buffet any wave and out
ride the most furious gales But every
one OF them carries in her saloon a source
of danger more threatening than any
that tempest brings or the forces of ma

with bang which persists in getting

advance for the emergency. She arms
herself against the danger of appear

She surreptitiously introduces pair of
curling irons and a spirit lamp into her

and peremptory prohibitions she lights
the lamp every day before the altar Of
her devotion. She knows, of course,
that every time she does it she imperils
But would you have little matter like

bang to be expected to appear with

that a lot of people who are nothing to

A WONDERFUL TALE.
An Almost Unparalleled Case
of Suffering.
Extricated From a Pit of AFFECT
Darkness and Despair.
Emerged Again Into the
Sunlight-Saved.

The best writers during all the ages
have with eloquent pens depicted the aw-
full mental suffering of hopelessness and
darkest despair Dante, De Quincy and
others painted in never to be forgotten
shades of sombre blsckness the mind ut
terly devoid of hope, wretched with lost
courage, respondent, disheartened.
But in real life we have never heard a
more heartfelt tale of suffering, mental
and physical than that told US by most
estimable lady, Mrs. j. P. Swift, who lives
at 2789 Washington street, Boston, Mass.
-Four years ago." she said, II was in a
position of complete physical and ner-
vous prostration, had but little appetite,
severe indigestion, stomach distended
with gas, constipation, palptation of the
heart, sleeplessness, pain in back Of neck
and base of the brain, and was so ner
vous and respondent that life was bur-
den.
LAS a result of this condition other
weaknesses peculiar to my sex, fell upon
me until was utterly wretched
after much medical treatment and
constant failure, | was induced to try DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve reme-
dy. 1t was in faint hearted way, and
with little hope, but soon began to sleep
better, my digestion improved, the pain
in the head became less severe, and
gradually gained strength until felt as if
had been extricated from pit of abject
darkness and despair. and emerged into
the sunlight
"Dr. Greenes Neryura blood and nerve
remedy saved me Very many of my
friends to whom have recommended the
re medy, can attest to similar results in
their own cases.
TT is truly wonderful medicine, and
might we'll be called the 'Womans
Friend.'"
1t is a fact that the sick are despairing
4 How many thousands of sufferers there
are who, from repeated failures to find re-
lief, lack courage, become respondent and
almost lose all hope of ever getting any
thing to cure them
And yet if you viii use this remark
able medicine. which is purely vegetable
and harmless, and can be procured at any
druggists, how soon will their gloom and
despair be turned to hope and joyl Mrs
Swift has recommended it to great many
of her friends who have been cured, and
it will cure you if you will use it.
1t is by no means simple patent medi-
cine, but it is the marvellous discovery of
specialist eminent in the treatment of
nervous and chronic diseases, DIR. Greene,
of IS West 14th street, New York. The
Doctor also gives to all the privilege of
consulting him free of charge, and any
who desire can call upon him or write him
a description of the case.

plishes Druggists say: When we sell a
bottle Of Hoods Sarsaparila to new Gus

weeks after more, proving that the good
results from trial bottle warrant contin-

all the remedial value of the ingredients
