An Early Visitor to- japan.

The adoption of European customs
Dy the Japanese is not so recent as gen
orally believed, but dates back about
four hundred years. In 1897 Holland
equipped fleet to explore the extreme
orient. The chief pilot of this fleet was
an Englishman named Adams. and of
the five vessels which set out the one
which he directed alone reached Japan.
The ship was attacked by the Japan
csc and the crew made prisoners, but.
in 1900, the mikado, recognizing in Adj
ans man Of superior intelligence,
gave him freedom and a patent of no
bility, and admitted him to- his court.
Adams rapidly rose In wealth and
rank. He taught the Japanese how to
build vessels upon European models,
and showed himself so Indispensable
that he was never allowed to return 10
Ibis own country. Though he had wife
apd family i'm England, he married a
Japanese lady. and when he died di-
rected that his fortune be divided be-
tween his two wives.

The system Of retribution established
ON this earth Is almost enough to shake
our faith In the necessity of future
punishment. For instance, the man
who drinks too much Ii afflicted with
disease that forbids his drinking at all,
the miser who saves too diligently IL
unable to enjoy the possession OF yell
low gold. Here is Mrs. Green, men
toned several times day by newspa-
pers rs the richest woman In America.
She travels about from one wretched
abode to another. fearing the plots OF
prisoners and other evil things. Her
millions lie and rust. Her life Is a
nightmare. Look from her to the Ba-
roness Burdett- Coutts. There Is Il
woman whose mind is forever looking
for useful ways of getting rid of her
money. She gives II to life-saving sta
tons. builds poor-houses, encourages
the breeding Of high-grade goats that
the poor may have milk, and looks on
money only rs n machine for doing
good. No dreams of poison disturb
her. She does not imagine that men
are trying to throw pieces Of wood on
her from windows. Virtue Is indeed
well rewarded.

the dress include some novel feature to
act as a magnet for feminine attention.
Fur is the stuff that swells the cost OF
most elaborate outdoor dresses, and
very often 1t is so applied as to com
bine great expense and ingenuity in one
costume, but single bit OF unusual
ness will suffice without the pelt, as in
the simple dress of the first picture.
Here it Is the odd velvet collar and re-
vers that dominate. They are edged
with narrow galloOn, and beneath them
there shows vest of pleated satin
trimmed with several narrow bias vel
vet folds. The bodice comes inside the
skirt and Is held by draped velvet belt.
Godet pleats take up the fullness OF the
skirt, whose front is ornamcnted by
fancy steel buttons. Amazon cloth Is
the dress goods.
The economical woman can make
very little fur serve to point "a whole
costume, but economical women do
not set the fashions, and they will do
well at the start to watch closely tho
way furs are utilized by those who can
afford all that is needed of theni With
the latter lucky ones It, must be rare

ermine may give the necessary final
touch OF elegance to a handsome street
turnout and 1t may be put into the
