Japan's Empress.

than dozen wives. This is en-
tirely erroneous. Bigamy is
practically unknown among the
japanese, from the Emperor
down to his humblest subject.
Empress Haruko is the wife OF
the Miksdo, aud the only one
OF course, there are twelve or
fifteen ladies OF the imperial
household. but they are simply
maids of honor. 1t is those
ladies who. some Americans and
Europeans think. are the wives
of the Emperor. Needless to say
the travellers are mistaken.
The Empress Haruko is very
younger than her husband. She
is little under the medium size
Of American women and rather
slender, but very straight. For
the last sixteen years she has
worn European dress. Her gowns
are all made in Paris, and she
pays pretty good prices for them,
too. Until a few years ago. in
honor of the national custom
she wore the old court attire
when she appeared a public re
ception, but since the opening of
Parliament she has given up all
the ancient styles and is now
arrayed only in the latest
European fashion.
The Empress Haruko has a
beautiful complexion. She is
very fair, with rosy cheeks, large
eyes and finely shaped mouth.
Her nose is straight and promin-
ent. Even without her imperial
rank she would still be the uni
yersally acknowledged belle Of
Japan. Like her husband she
displays immense interest in
the education of the gentler sex
aud in charitable works of all
kinds. She has established
several female schools. which are
attended by all classes of girls.
One of these semiuaries is called
Empress Haruko's School for
Girls. % The Empress is fine
scholar of both polite literature
and music. She plays the piano
we'll. Her poems have been set
TO music and used as imperial
songs.
She is the founder of the Red
Cross Society in Japan. Her
visits to the hospitals are as de-
ligtful as they are frequent. She
gives to each patient as much
consolation and care as il she
were a simple white capped nurse
of the immortal Red Cross.
Haruko's social duties. though
few. are somewhat irksome. She
must pay visits to the royal prin-
cesses and the wives of the Min
listers. Initiating the example of
her imperial spouse, she spends
the morning reading the domestic
and foreign newspapers. All of
her correspondence is written by
secretaries of the softer sex, and
there is enough of il to engage
sill of her spare time. She is, in
fact, the busiest woman in the
Land Of the Rising Sun.
Three grand receptions ara
given by the Emperor and EN-
press every year. The first is
held on New Years Day. All the
Of America and Europe
living in Japan attend it. The |
second is the spring reception on |
February 2nd-they reckon the |
seasons by the flowers in Japan
land the third is on November |
srd, which is the Emperors
birthday. All the old forms Of /
obeisance have been abolished. /
Guests at the imperial receptions |
salute their royal majesties just
IS they would other monsrchs Of |
the civilized world. Eraminsy.

STRIKE IN THE KITCHEN,
The Lady of the House Taught n Les

son I'm Labor Troubles.
From the Home Journal.
An odd thing happened the other day in
a Brookline family-a something which the
lady of the house isn't particularly anx-
ious to talk about, especially when her
husband is around Not long ago the help
in his factory went on a strike. and though
they did not remain out long, the affair
being mainly "sympathetic," yet IL bothered
him quite bit, to the dislike of his wife.
She demonstrated frequently over his silli-
ness in allowing such a small thing to
bother him. and guyed him still more when
the affair ended amicably. A few mornings
later the lady went into her morning
room and rang the bell to give the cook
her days orders, when. to her astonsh-
ment, the ring was answered by all the
help in the establishment. including the
scrub girl and the boy who walked err
rands. The cook was spokeswoman.
If you please" she began firmly, but
respectfully, we've come to say that we're
on a strike. We don't like what you did
in taking away Charlotte's Saturday night
out and giving her Mary's Friday. By
Mary's having Charlotte's Saturday she
gets chance to meet Mrs. Smithe's
Henry. and as Mary's her rival we don't
think it's giving either Of 'em a fair
chance"
The mistress looked at the company. and
saw that Charlotte and Mary were the
only two absent: she reflected that she had
by no means been aware of what affairs OF
state she was upsetting In changing the
evenings OUT without any particular
reason, and she decided that II was better
to arbitrate than delay lunch, and possibly
dinner, so she gracefully scceded to the
demands OF the assemblage, and restored
Charlotte her Saturdays.
STILL when any one says strike to her
now she shivers. For-"what is home

Attractive Changes In the Church
Edihce md the Foundations Laid

The opening of Grace Episcopal Church,
corner Of 9th and D streets southwest. for

The need Of a comfortable and safe
church had been pressing. The whole work
of the parish was impeded by the want of
a parish hail. in which the Sunday school,
social meetings, &C., could be held.
In June last, with Mr.. Glenn Brown as
architect, Mr.. Joseph Gibbons builder
and Messrs. A. Y. Gray, l.. Z. Duvall and
A. S. Belote as building committee, repairs
were begun on the old church and the
foundation laid for new brick building.
Donations of money and material were
made and loans secured by the vestry. The
old church edifice has been moved about
ten feet nearer to ID street, which left
ample room for the new hall on the south
All the work inappropriate for. a church
was taken out from the old building and
the exterior finished in a design suitable
to the material IN which 1T has been built.
The lower portion of the walls has been
weather-boarded, while the upper half has
been finished with shingles. The roof and
front gable have been slated. Three triple
windows have been inserted In each side,
and triple doorway on the 9th street side.
A belfry tower has been erected on the
corner of 9th and ID streets. The windows
and doors have shingled hoods, which are
both useful and picturesque. The parish
hall is built of brick, the style of the en-
trance and the windows being made to con-
form with those of the church proper. The
hall and vestry room have separate en-
frances from 9th street. The interior of
the church, which had quite a good Gothic
open timber roof, has only been changed
by replastering, the insertion of the large
triple windows and the erection Of the new
entrance on 9th street.
The parish hall contains rector's study,
choir and organ rooms, as well as the
Sunday school room The chancel has been
thrown open into the choir room so the

Hunting I'm Great Britain.

From the London Telegraph.
Although a good many of those whose
apparent desire 1t Is to curtail or destroy
the sports and amusements of others would
have it otherwise, 1t is a fact that hunting,
whether of stag. fox or hare is in a more
fourishing condition at the present moment
than it ever was before. There are now 80
fewer than twenty-five packs of staghounds
in the united kingdom, 1SS of foxhounds
and nearly 200 of barriers and beagles,
while in each succeeding year followers CT
hounds get more numerous, until Ii has
actually become a serious question with
some masters, How can We keep down ,'ur
fields?
The cub-hunting season, which is prac-
tically at an end, has, eXceptin with the
Earl of YarboroGgh's and a few other
packs, been scare ely so successful as usu-
al, owing to the dry state of the ground
and the consequent lack of scent; but the
great desideratum was rain. and now that
we have had that in abundance, the pros
poets of the regular season are rosy.

Energetic measures are being taken in
Paris to put stop to the coloring Of lob
sters and crayfish which goes on at the
great central markets. Pots Of red paint
have been seized, and the vendors of the
oo-brilliant-looking shellfish have been
prosecuted in the police court for fraud
by adulteration. The object of colo:ing
the Holsters is, of course, to give them an
appearance of freshness after they have
been in stock for some time. An amusing
scene was witnessed in the police court
when a whole crowd of voluble and ex-
cited ffshwives were arraigned. Some of
them declared that even experts cannot tell
whether or not Holsters are fresh. One Of
them went so far as to affirm soemnly
that certain customers prefer their she'll
fish "high," which gave the magistrate an
opportunity for little joke to the effect
that only "faisans" pheasants) are good
.'faisandes" (high). The women were SEN
fenced to six days imprisonment each and
a fine of 80 francs.

If Men Were Just.

II men were just, and truth their actions swayed
The world long Paradise were made;
A Golden Age, more fair than that OF yore
Fabed, would flourish, blessing every shore;
Peace and content would every land pervade.
The gross deceit that dims the paths OF trade,
The churches brawls, the courts chicane were
stayed,
And politics, now base, were base no more,
II men just.
The claims Of others and Of self were weighed
In a true scale; each man his dues paid;
To every virtue open We're the door;
The long, long reign Of violence We're Ger;
Crimes would be few, and hatred be alayed,
1T men Were just.
