Japanese Women.

While japanese women, says u traveller,
do not have their feet compressed and are
not compelled to wear yciis and wife beat
ing i, extremely rare, they have very llttlc
to say about their own dcstinies They
are expected to be womanly-kind gentle,
pretty, obedient and useful-but from
birth to burial they are subject to Il GER
tain form of slavery that is shocking to
the woman of the western world. The ex-
perience of women in Japan is summed up
in the word "obcidence, They have
phrase i'll Tokyo which describes the his
tory of all women. 1t is "thc three obedi

My Island Home.

l cannot tell how far my boat
May sail on life's rough seas
Before it shall so gently float
In the SOFT island breeze
Before its keel CRATES on the sand
Where beckons many an angel hand.
know not through what storms and Gains
My shattered bark may sail
Before | ght the feathery palms
Where never ocean gale
Breaks ON the shore with sob and moan
OF the beloved island home.
Speed on, speed on, oh, ship at sea,
Over The crested waves
And bring that peaceful isle to me
Where balmy sea wind laves
The fevered brow with its soft kiss
Filling the earth worn Oul with BLISS

vice of the United Press, but il supple
ments it with the work Of large corps
Of staff reporters, and liberal use OF the
telegraph for special dispat hes.
