He Found Japan Grossly Immoral.

Clement w. Scott, the well-known
London dramatic critic and author, has
been in Chicago some little time lately
on his return from a tour around the
world. In speaking Of Japan he adj
yanced opinions wholly opposite to
the rosy ones of Sir Edwin Arnold. He
said: Il found Japan to be the most
grossly immoral country l have ever
visited. The women are treated like
mere slaves, beings Of no intelligence,
and they are bought and sold like cat.
tie. Regarding the pOetical side OF
Japan. the tea palaces and other re-
sorts described by Sir Edwin Arnold
and other writer's as dreams Of elegant
enchantment, found them tawdry and
miserable in the extreme, not to say
loathsome. Yes, l was very much dis
appointed with Japan, as l saw it, and
did it pretty thoroughly. | never
was so happy during the whole of my

GLOVE NOVELTIES.

Gloves have been keeping pace with
the gay coloring Of this seasons
fashions. They have blended sweetly
with the most brilliant gown, and the
craze for bright hues grows in intens-
ity.
Among the peculiar shades are huz-
Ear blue, peach, lettuce green and pale
gooseberry.
Chamois gloves in the natural tint
have black buttons and black stitch
ing.
For dress occasion buttons grow
larger as the shades grow brighter.
One of the latest French importations
is glacc kid of a peach tint, with
smoked pearl buttons framed in silver
rims. The glove is the four-button
length, finished at the tip with band
of white kid.
But the glove which is the queen of
novelties is the hand-painted glove.
Gloves of pale heliotrope suede have
violets most artistically painted on the
back.-New York Recorder.

FASHION NOTES.

Peacock feathers are coming into
use as trimming on dresses.
The new veil is made of accordion
pleated black net or gauze.
Ribbon trimmings are still much
used, put on skirts in pleated rows.
The new shoulder cape is n shawl
pattern, and tight-fitting, without ruflle
or pucker
Sleeves with less fullness but with
very long, dropping cupe-shaped caps,
are among the fashionable notions of
the hour.
Long puff sleeves are often finished
with wristbands, but deep frills are
better, unless the hands be small and
shapely.
Strings Of flowers and foliage are
carried about the throat, tied in a
bow. and the ends allowed TO fall some
distance down the skirt.
Mode shades in gloves are very
handsome with the purplish dress
goods now in vogue, when the gloves
to match are not wished
Kid trimmings are as fine and open
as lace, and they are shown in white
and the leading tints embroidered with
tinsel, and are applied to the dressiest
fabrics.
Medium tan remains the favorite
color for gloves. While other shades
are old, this is the standard, and there
is more demand for it than for all other
colors combined.
A fine quality of ladies cloth, which
is now called habit cloth, is an ex-
tremely popular material. 1t comes in
oil tho exquisite new shades, and is
used not only for tailor-made costumes,
bnt for those that are much more elab-
crate.
Large IeShorn flats have long scarfs
of mousseline de sole fastened at the
back. These are twisted carelessly
about the throat, and prove immensely
becoming when of the right shade.
Wild rose pinks for blondes and palest
primrose yellow for brunettes are eff
fectjve.

The Home Newspaper

A newspaper is the greatest help to
the growth of a town that can be. Ii
is a standing advertisement which al
ways attracts. 1t gives more free
puffs and explanations of the place
than all others. II never lets pass
good opportunity to advocate the in
terests of its home enterprises II
helps all the churches and never fails
TO speak out for its school; resents
all insinuations against the character
Of the citizens and industries of the
town; it lives but to benefit the COM
munity. To repay its untiring efforts
it asks the support Of the people, not
in begging manner, but as a recon-
penso for its labor. 1t is entitled to a
livelihood because it gives mere than
it takes. It only asks for its rights,
and these it should have. -Carbondale

The most novel musical programme yet
given at the Fair attracted large audience
to Festival Hall. Wagnerian music, Irish
jig dances by pipers and the rude tom-tom
beating by Oriental tribes followed IN rapid
succession until the audience was dazed.
This was one OF the popular attractions ar
ranged by the special committee to increase
the attendance at the Exposition.
The first number on the programme was
"Tannhauser, by the Royal Infantry Band
of the German Village. This was followed
by Irish melodies by singers from Lady Abb
er leen's Irish village. Then there was ''yot-
ling by the Swiss mountain trio. Fifteen
Javanese musicians beat trowangas and
played on soolings and trumpets. The songs
and dances Of the Dahomeyans proved an at
tractive feature. being followed by charac
teristic songs and dances blythe Indian chiefs
and squaws of the Plaisance. The grand
concluding feature was medicine song and
scalp dance by Chief Crazy Horse.

An INTERNATIONAL BALL.

The international ball on tho Midway
Plaisance, few nights ago, was the most
unique event in the history OF the Fair.
Every nationality was represented.
The affair was held in the Natatorium,
which was gorgeously fitted out with lights,
flags, bunting and flowers. Chinese, Japan
ese, Samoins, Dahomeyans, Turks,
Bedouins. Syrians, Persians, Egyptians,
Moors, Algerians, Austrians, Amazons,
Swe les, Roumanians, Russians, E5quimaux
Lapanders, Indians, Gypsies, BrazIlians,
Peruvians. Germans, Americans, English,
Spaniards. Frenchmen, Cingalese and every
other nationality mingled together in the
most amcable relationship, and the sight
was most wonderful one TO behold.
Some OF the costumes were stunning,
while others. particularly those whose
wearers came from the southern countries in
the far away oceans, were startling. George
Francis Train led the grand march,
accompanied by tho belle Of the Dahomey
village, dusky maiden.
AT the banquet which took place after the
fourteenth dance interesting dishes such rs
roast missionary a la Dahomey' were on
the bill OF fare All the queer Midway folks
were at table and they were jolly lot. The
boxes were occupied by the Exposition on
cals and representative officials OF tho
various foreign countries.

LIVE STOCK EXHIBIT.

Horses and cattle for tho lire stoc exhibit
have arrived in large numbers In Chicago.
Every standard breed OF horses and all the
celebrated breeds OF cattle in the world are
there. Foreign Nations are taking lively
interest in this matter, and through then
Commissioners are stirring their people up
to put their best exhibits forward. The ar
for stabling the stock are beyond
precedent. The amphitheatre and pavilion
eclipse in size and beauty everything OF the
kind ever before attempted. That portion
assigned to the German and Russian exhibits
is particularly striking, for these Nations
have added decorations to n great extent. 1t
is designed to make this the browning feature
of the great Exposition, and the great breed
ers OF the world are manifesting an active
interest. The exhibit includes all kinds OF
cattle and all breeds OF horses except thor
oughbred trotters and runners. They will
have their own days later.

An Adjustable Statue.

The American is an inventive
genius, whether he be Yankee or a
South American. lie seems to have
a notion that it is his duty to look
about him and discover new ways Of
doing old things, and to put all
things to every possible use is with
him a pet idea. French people, when
they grow weary OF the bronze etfigy
OF a certain individual that has been
set up upon public highways, be that
individual poet, king or other, de-
strOy that statue. They tear IL down,
dlshgure it and, in so far as they can,
destroy it. In Venezuela, however,
where popularity is quite as feeting
as it is In France, the Americans
ingenious mind has found a better
way to do this sort OF thing than
that employed by the French; and a
far more sensible and economical way,
too, as it seems to uS-that is TO say,
If the statement printed not long ago
is truthful.
1t appears that the Venezuelans
were about To erect statue to their
President, but the inventive mind
remembered that in Venezuela a
President on going out OF Office
seldom, if ever, retains his popularity,
50 what could be more fitting than,
as that republic frequently changes
its Presidents, there should occur to
this genius the happy thought OF
fixing on the top of the statue head
which could be unscrewed? That as
often as a new President should DO
elected, the head OF the old one
should be taken Off and that Of his
successor put in its place? And that,
as Presidents generally wore the same
uniform and possessed similar virtues,
and were not unlike in personal ap.
pearance from neck to feet, the body,
uniform and decorations should re.
main as before?
Whether the plan has been finally
adopted or not by the Venezuelan
Government we are not aware and
have no means Of finding out; but at
all events the idea seems to be
good one, and should be encouraged
in other lands.-Harpers Young
People.

The bad effect Of tobacco on the
eyes was unknown, even by phvsi-
clans, until within the present
century.
Sixty years ago Doctor Mckenzie,
of Glasgow, wrote, Il have already
had occasion repeatedly to hint my
suspicion that tobacco is frequent
cause of amaurosis"-complete or
partial blindness. To one form OF
this disease Hutchinson gave the
name tobacco amaurosis, because
he often found it in men strongly
addicted to the use Of tobacco.
Doctor Williams, the celebrated
oculist Of Boston. says, ITO be Of SER
vice, treatment in tobacco amaurosis
must be begun in the early stage, be-
fore the congestion has been sue
ceeded by atrophy.
Doctor Francis Bowling, OF Gin

ployes in the principal tobacco fac
tories of that city. Only one woman
was found to be suffering from the
disease, and she had never used to-

or the men examined, forty-hye

amaurosis, thirty of them being
pretty we'll marked cases They all
mistook red for brown or black, and
green for light blue or orange, and
In all there was also a contraction OF

five complained OF a gradual failure
Of vision.
In one case-nOt among the en-
ployes just spoken of-the contrac-
ton of tn pupil was so great that
the sufferer was unable to 60 about
without assistance. He had smoked
from twenty TO thirty cigars day.
He renounced tobacco, and his sight
was fully restored in three and one'
half months.
Chewing has been found to be

Al Unpleasam Country to Live In.


The northern half Of the Island OF
BorneO is the quecrest and most IN
satisfactory place to live in that one
can imagine. 1t is land Of constant
recurring phenomena, where cyclones
are frequent and delugcs OF water
very common. The vegetation in
that half is very fine, but in all
probability the widest and most
tangled on earth-nOt even excepting
that OF Africa. The cause Of all the
trouble is the shallow condition OF
the sea north Of it, great shoals OF
sand existing few miles out which
extend along its entire northern
length. These shoals are covered
by depth Of water not over five feet
deep. The constantly recurring
winds that blow in that climate
change to hurricanes and sweep the
smaller islands Of all visible life.
When such a storm strikes the sand
shoals north OF Bornco it sweeps up
the shallow salt water in its course
and drenches the island with 1t.
Often 1T gathers up sand great
masses of 1t, from the clear-swept
shoal and whirls it for miles high
over the island, carrying it into the
island and scattering it everywhere.
The work Of these storms does not
always end with that Entire shoals
of fish, Of all sizes, have been swept
up time and again by the fierce wind
with the water and sand and scattered
about BorneO. In some places the
ground would be literally covered with
fish. enough to supply a heavy popu'
lation for weeks. But such luck Is no
reparatlon for the evil the winds 90,
