The Japanese Woman.

With the japanese woman her lord stands
first. He takes the precedence of relatives
and religion, and she-well, next to the
servants the wife is the humblest member
of the household. A Jap takes his bride
home to his mothers household, and from
the day Of his wedding she is The slave OF
his mother, bis sisters and himself, and Of
her own children, too. when she has them,

a premium on growing old.
Still the women are so happy aud lovable,
so gentle and contentcd, that one scarcely

saw a missionary, with an air Of great pro-
priety, pin up a Japanese girls kimono at

Of other people. Much if not most of the
fan current among young folks consists Of

Bright people are given to use their wit
very freely upon others who ave the mis-
fortune to come near them. Women es-
pecially regard the world outside their i'm

amusement, not OF the most amiable kind.
They are not discriminating enough to see
what underlies and offsets the popularity
which provokes their fun.
The iii dressed, hurried woman is com

why Lamps nnrn BADLY.

A lamp burning badly develops more
heat than usual, the light is red and the
combustion imperfect, producing a disa-
greeable odor. Science says this may arise
from the air not being properly reverber-
ated against the fame, or from the shape of
the chimney allowing of back currents, or
from the lamp being dirty, the airholcs
clogged, the wick damp or dirty, the pres
ence of a trace of vegetable or animal oil in
tho vessels used for filling or from the oil
itself, the presence of heavy oils or refining
chemicals. When the oils are not homoge-
neous, a light and heavy oil being mixed.

either oil separately, this result being more
pronounced than when IA poor wick Is used

ascribed his success, is also a wonderful X
