hair will most naturally fall in love with
a brunette, but seldom with a blonde,
and vice versa.
In spite OF the many stories circulated
in their clubs and other Places by men
who have left great deal Of money in
Japan, l can affirm that the women OF
that country thoroughly dislike foreign
ers and have never heard yet Of one
Of them being in love with one of US.
Strange as 1t may appear, a kiss is an
unknown thing in Japan-not unknown to
the gay maidens Of Yokohama, Kobe,
or Nagasaki, who have so much to do
for the amusement Of foreigners-but un-
known to the Japanese in general A
lover never kisses his sweetheart-a
mother never kisses her child. He made
a great mistake, the man who wrote that
"a kiss is natures Volapuk, the UNIVERSAL
language of love-" You can kiss any
Japanese girl. She win not object, for
she cannot possibly understand what you
mean. She will only think what queer
people these foreigners are"
japanese women have three recreations
smoking, singing and dancing. They
smoke most gracefully, as they do every
thing. This habit was introduced into
Japan by the Spaniards some 150 years
smoke cigarettes like the bellies of Anda-
lusia, but pipes, the daintiest little pipes,
beautifully ornamented, and holding jus
enough tobacco for one or two puffs.
And now~what Of that reputation for
beauty which the Japanese women are
enjoylng-again, thanks to the stories
of globe trotters. The fact is that there
are fewer pretty girls there than in
America, and / have not seen one that
was beautiful. The most one can say
of Japanese beauty is: How pretty
she Isl" or "How cutep' One could never
think of saying: what a beautiful
woman"
And yet the japanese girl charms every
one. She does not charm by her so-called
beauty, but by her originality, her grace
fulness, her genteness, her kindness, her
sweetness. She is the best natured wom-
an in the world the most affable, the
most polite, and the mots amiable.

DAUGHTERS OF JAPAN.
They Are Said to Be Victims Of Mis-
representation.

repreSentdulOH'
Nothing in Japan appeals more charm
ingly to the stranger-man or woman
than sweet and graceful maidens In their
beautiful and picturesque costumes OF
bright colored silks. The Japanese claim
and not without reason-that nine
tents of what has been published about
the sweet daughters Of Nippon is abso-
dutely untrue, and was written by men
who know but very little of Japan and
nothing at all Of its women, says A. de
Guervllle in the Illustrated American
We laugh at Japanese women dressing
I'm foreign Clothes. Certainly they are
not as graceful as In their own costumes,
for they do not know how to wear the
Occidental dresses. The wearing OF un-
familiar garments cannot be learned in
a day. Let American girls try on the
Japanese dresses without the help Of a
competent costumer and see what they
will look like to Japanese eyes.
A few words about the morals OF jap
anese women. 1t is generally believed
in Europe and America that the morals
over there are very low. 1t Is undoubt-
edly due to the ridiculous and most unre-
liable stories which globe trotters de-
light in telling their friends. There is
not in the world more moral people
than the Japanese.
These globe trotters know absolutely
nothing of the Japanese women OF the
middle and upper classes, and during the
few weeks they spend In Japan they only
meet the geisha girls, whose business 1t Il
to sing and dance and sell their smiles
But such a class Of women Is to be founc
in every country, and they are far les
degraded in Japan than they are in Paris
London, New York or San Francisco

AGAINST THE N. p.
Land Commissioner Decides in Favor Of
Settlers.

THE Northern Pacific railroad company
in "a case Involving over a million dollars
worth of agriculturl1 and timber lands
in the Gray's IhnTbor country, north of
Aberdeen, has been rendered by the COM
missioner generll of the land office.
On June 5th, 1895, the Norahern Pacific
railroad selected the lands in question,
but prior TO that date they had been set
tied upon by twenty-eighl. bona fide set
tiers On June 26th, 1926, the Olympia
officers were instructed to notify these
settlers 'that they would be allowed thirty
days in MhEcIh to enter the lands covered
by their respective claims. All of the
twenty-eight applicants failed TO make
the entries ais allowed and John f. Soule
and others made application to file upon
the lands, the rights of the others hev-
ing been forfatte1. The railroad COM
pany claimed that as 1t had selected the
lands prior to the applications of the
second list of settlers it was entitled
to the land in the event of the original
applicants losing their rights.
The commissioner holds that the rights
of the first applicants did not expire until
July of this year and that the railroad s
selection made prior to that date would
not hold. The commissioner awards to

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE wet season

gins three weeks hence and this will be

of gTI1boalts, win surround the island

insurgents, and without aid from outside
sou1 ces, it Is believed they soon win be
helpless. The new boats about 20 arrive
in Cuba will not be far short Of twenty.
Several Of them were recently sent from

in England dre on their way. Several
more We're constructed In Spain. They
are very small, not m1c1 larger than
a steam yacht, but well armed and OF
such Iignt draft that they can run in

SNAKE PILOT.

Pittsburg plspatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The rabtlesnnke has a pilot. The pur-
pose OF this pilot has never been salts
factorily explained, but 1t undoubtedly
serves to protect him in some way. It
is we'll known that the rattlesnake Is
a sluggish reptile, SOW Of movement
and short-slghted.
He can strike only to the distance Of his
own length, and is not OF the constructor
Species fighting with his fangs He rs
not, therefore, dangerous. and can be
easily whipped by blacksnake, or any
Of the constructor family. Even a dog
can get the mastery over a rattlesnake
without much danger Of being injured.
The pilot appears like a rattlesnake, ex-
cept that he has no rattle, and is some-
what darker in color He is also OF much
quicker movement and when other rep
tiles or animals appear that possibly
might prove dangerous to the rattler, the
pilot which is not so near sighted, con-
ducts the latter away to place OF safety.
Singuary, the pilot has received but
scant attention, except among the ma
tive people OF the district where It Is
found and but little Is known about him.
The only species Of rattlesnake having
