For some time he had been scanning the
horizon to leeward, looking away ahead
under the crossjack footrope, as if he ex-

sengers were on deck, having partly re-
covered from their sea sickness, and were
lounglng about the main deck, some sit

others leaning up against the bulwarks,
steadylng themselves by holding on to the
forward braces that were stretched along
the rail. The watch on deck were distrib-

Nine. Faure always remains in her own

then reads the documents left over from

PARIS, Feb I've may say of the wife
of the new President of the French repub-
lie, ''like fortunate country, she has no
history"
Nine. Felix Faure was Mile. Guinot, niece
of the late Senator of the Department of
Indre ct Loire, and about thirty years ago
she married NJ. Faure. Two daughters
have blessed this union, and Antoinette,
the younger, is wife of well-known min
ing engineer, NJ. Rene Berge.
But although, as l have said, Nine.
Faure is little known, that does not mean
that she has not sympathized with her
husband in his eventful life. Certainly the
larger share of President Faure's success is
due to the helpful influence of his wife.
One cold winter evening in the year 1855
the family of a workman was seated in a
small room of humble Paris tenement.
The father had Just given to his wife the
earnings of weeks labor, and as the poor
woman looked at the small amount of
money she could not conceal her tears.

THE JAPANESE HOME.
The Dwellings and the Domestic Life
of the Quaint Oriental People.


If a man of taste should enter Japanese
parlor he would not fail to be surprised at
the display of marvellous and exquisite
taste Yet have often heard the savings
of foreigners that 'the japanese house has
no furniture and is absolutely cherries
and empty" This is quite wrong.
I must say that they have no taste
OF the japanese art, for the men
OF taste are agreed in saying that the art
of decoration In Japan Is excellent. If any
one has some taste in this art he will per
ceive that the hanging picture on the toxic
wall, elaborate arrangement of flowers
pictures on the framed partitions and ali
decoration, however trifing. reveal infinite
taste.
The tastes of the Western people differ
so much from ours that the decoration
in the chambers seems almost childish
to the Japanese eyes. The gorgeous
display of cOIors in their rooms would
please our children to look at. Drawing
rooms piled up from corner to corner
with toys, shells, stones, dishes, spoons
and different novel things always re-
mind US of our curiO-shops. A bunch of
flowers is stuck in a vase without form
and without order. The pictures in the
rooms hang .perpetually, though the face
of nature and feeling OF man change from
are accustomed TO see in the European
house excite in us nothing but wonder
Yet this is the taste of the Western people:
we have no right to criticize it.
In Japan the family never gathers
around one table as the European or other
Asiatic peoples do, but each person has his
or her own separate small table, foot
square and foot high, and always highly
decorated. When they take their meals
they kneel upon the mat, each taking his
table before him. The little lacuuered
table generally contains small porcelain
bowl, heaped up with deliciously cooked
rice, and several lacquered wooden bowls
containing soup or meat, and numbers of
little porcelain plates with fish, radishes
and the like The way of cooking, of
course, is entirely different from the Euro
pean. Two pretty chopsticks, made of
lacquered bamboo or wood, silver or ivory,
are used, instead of knife, fork and spoon,
and all people use them with great skill.
All foods are prepared in the kitchen so
as to avoid any trouble to use knife and
fork Soup is to be drunk from the bowl
by carrying it to the mouth by hand, in the
same way as people drink tea or coffee
Table etiquette has elaborate rules, which
high-bred ladies and gentlemen must
strictly follow. A maid-servant always
waits, kneeling, at short distance, before
a clean pan of boiled rice, with lacquered
tray, on which she receives and delivers
the bowls for replenlshing them. Fragrant
green tea is always used at the end of a
meal, but sugar and cream never.-Har-

America offers a better field and more
