4 Painted Lady.

Among our ladies the custom of painting" themselves Is not uncom- mon, but it is not practiced by most sensible women; in Japan 1t forms part of the ordinary woman's daily toilet. This is the way in which it is done: A thick layer of white chalk is first smeared with soft brush over the face, neck, shoulders, arms and hands; then the pretty mouseme, dipping her first finger in red paint, gently rubs this on her checks her temples, and over the upper eyelids. The middle fin- ger Is the "black brush, land adds senti- ment to the expression by a. blackening under the eyes; and sometimes, when the eyebrows are not shaved, it is also used to aeeentuate them. A piece of burned cork is often used as substi- tute for black paint The fourth finger has no occupation that I know of, but the little one gives the finishing touch es, brightening 2n the mouth with car- mine and adding | bit of gold on the lower lip.
 Most well-to-do women undergo this process daily. The Gueschas, or sing CTS and dancers, paint themselves to a much greater extent than the general ity of women, and also use much brighter colors The Guecha in Japan is curious institution. Her moral qualities, as rule. do not bear very close examination, but she is usually not immoral enough to be called fast" though too fast" to be classed as moral" Their music and posturlng have a great charm for the Japanese, and large sums of money are spent in keeping up these feminine musicians and their establishments.
 A Guecha is a singer or dancer pos- turer) or both. A dinner party or a festivity of any kind Is seldom given in Japan without one or more of them at tending the entertainment Some sing with elf-accompaniment of the shame sen, others display their wonderful powers of mimicl5ing and posturing, in which I must confess grace Is never lacklng.-The Fortnightly Review.

The Kins,s ponble-Coren.

In olden days the kings procession
 was generally witnessed from the
 streets, It was headed by several hun
 dred soldiers marching without a sem
 blance of order, and followed by cui-
 rassed cavalry mounted on microscopic ponies Then followed two rows of men in white, wearing the students cap, which was their distinctive badge when going to their examinations, and between them. perched on high white saddles, rode the generals and high ministers supported by their number less servants. Narrow white banners were carried by their attendants. and a dragon flag of large dimensions tow cred among them. Amid a quite sepul- chral silence the procession moved on, and then came huge white palanquin propped on two long, heavy beams and carried by hundreds of men.
 When the court was not in mourn ing, the horses of generals, high offi- cials, and eunuchs bore beautiful sad dies embroidered in red and blue; the ponies, led by hand, immediately in front of the kings palanquin were sim ilarly decked out. Curiously enough, when the first royal palanquin had gone past, the procession repeated it. self almost in its minutest details, and another palanquin of the exact shape of the first, and also supported by hun dreds of attendants. advanced in front of us. The writer inquired of a neigh Dor, 'In which palanquin is the lsing?' ''No one knows, except his intimate friends at court" was the answer "In case of an attempt upon his life he may thus be fortunate enough to escape" The attempt would not be an easy mat ter, except with a gun or a bomb, for the kings sedan Is raised so high above the ground that it would be impossible for any one to reach it with his hands, and it is, besides surrounded by nu- merous escort.
 The sedans were constructed In the style of square garden tent with pavilion roof, the front side being open. The lSlng-somebody closely resembling him is selected for his double-sits on sort of throne erected inside.-The Sat urday Review.

Morals and Pierre T,oti. '.

Pierre Lott has recently been de- scribed by very eminent critic, MT. Henry James, as one of those writers who, possessing an exquisite faculty for the perception of the visible, are condemned to pay for that rare prlvi- lege by a certain absence of percep- tion for the moral, Audacious as it seems to question the judgment of one who himself possesses so fine an in sight into the obscurer things of the human spirit, one cannot help saying that on this point the American writer displays an almost too great austerity of judgment, shade, perhaps, too much of the temperament of New Eng land. Moral Pierre Lott certainly is not, in the Puritan, or even in the Cath ollie, acceptation of the term, but there is hardly a reason for talking of him as though he were another Theophile Gautier, an artist solely preoccupied with the colored surfaces of things.
 Delightful as are his descriptions of the look of things, Pierre Loti's simplic- ity is certainly great deal subtler than that; he appeals very keenly to n certain kind of spiritual interest-to the interest one might venture to call human as distinguished from the mor- al. And it just where the human needs to be distinguished from-one does not necessarily mean opposed to-the nor al that criticism has need of its most delicate tact; it is also unhappily the point where critics mostly think it right to run headlong, and of all the qualities of the stern goddess seem n ost disposed to imi+a.e hyr blnlress, Of course, the impression Pierre Lott leaves on one is singularly apart from the moral conceptions of the good citi- zen for fin de siecle writer he has cu- riously little to do with either cynicism or sociology Westminster Re view

ON EVERYBODY'S LIPS. What the Beautiful Girl Her
 self Says. Surprising Story of the Daughter of
 a Noted Professor.
How She Excited the Curiosity of All
 Her Friends.

One of the best known and most in- teresting men in Brooklyn, N. Y. is Professor J. M. Elwood, residing at 43 Cornelia street. He is a noted scholar and professor. His charming daugh- ter is young lady of most estimable character and has hosts of friends ev- anywhere.
 She became fearfuly nervous and run down, and this was followed by a most severe attack of St. Vitus' dance. She grew worse and physicians could not cure her. She finally got well, however, by a method which aston ished all her friends
 Tt affords me the greatest pleas ure," said the professor, "to state that my daughter, who was a. sufferer from nervousness and St. Vitus' dance, and who was treated for same by proml- nent physicians in Brooklyn without result, was completely cured by using two bottles of pr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy"

 New York; Jan. 4.-Trading at the stock exchange was less active than on yesterday. The opening of the market was featureless, but soon afterwards the entire list moved up 4 to 13s per cent, Lake Shore, Bay State, United States Rubber leading the upward movement. The advance was soon checked, however, by the enga gement of $2,35O,OOO gold for export to Europe tomorrow. Reports that thirty mill lions gold would have to be forwarded before spring in order to fill European requirements added to the bearish feel ing and especially as the relations be- tween the treasury department and the New York bankers who furnished the government with the last hundred million gold are strained.

 There has been some dispute as tc whether the English are as warmheart- ed as the Americans. am an Ameri- can, and I think Americans can't be beaten in that line, but I have seen some little freaks of hospitality over here that eclipse anything in the way of hospitality I ever saw
 A man I had never met called at my lodgings. I was out, but he left a note saying he was very anxious to meet me to talk over matter of busi- ness in which we were both interested, and that he was obliged to leave for Egypt the next morning. I did not | wait for him to call again, but went to his house that afternoon.

The Triumph of Japan.

In the fortunes of the present war +be world behslds-if it will lock deeper than to what satisfies shallow critics the immense significance of leading nat ,onal ideas. We have suddenly found ourselves gazing upon prodigious collision between powers founded on Confucianism and Buddhism respective ly--since behind the disgraceful defeat
 of the troops and ships of Picking are
 the unspirituality, narrowness, and sel-
 fishness of the old agnostic's philoso-
 phy, while behind the success of Japan
 are the glad and lofty tenets of a modi- fled Buddhistic metaphysic, which has
 mingled with Shintoism to breed rever- ance for the past. to inculcate and to produce patriotism, loyalty, fearless ness of death, with happiness in life,a above all self respect. It is this last quality which is the central character- istic of the Japanese men and women, and round about which grow up what those who do not love the gentle and gallant race called "vanity," and many other foibles and faults.
