power. and there is no doubt that the
prosperity or the poverty of the house
depends as much on the wife as on the
husband; for a capable manager, a good
housewife and helpmate can do as much
in Japan as IN America for her husband $
welfare and honor
But above everything, a woman's life
in Japan has it's best opportunities for
usefulness as well as its greatest respon-
slbilites in It's duties as mother; for a
Japanese mother haS almost unbounded
influence over her children. The father .s
often too busy to interest himself in the
minor details concerning his children, and
from infancy until school days are over a
mother is all In all to her little one. Even
the sons are taught to show every mark
of respect for her, and she is their guard
ian and helper, even when they are go
ing to school, or receive instruction from
tutors. The little girls Of course are under
the mother entirely. and In many cases
receive only home training, after a few
years al a primary school. 1t is she who
plans for their pleasure, arranges the lit
tie festivals in the different seasons as
they come for both boys and girls, takes
them with her on her occasional out
ings and visits to her relatives; or II they
are left at home who never forgets the
"omiagi' or present for them on her re,
turn, be 1t only a ball, a toy, or a little
candy.
1t is touching to see how women even
in the lowest classes take care Of their
children. They seem always loving and
kind wearing old and common clothes,
so that their little ones may have some
bright gay garment or going without
some necessity that they may buy some
cheap toy for them.
In the homes OF the higher classes the
mother and children are brought together
less often. and nearly everything Is done
for children by servants and attendants
But the children know few cares and
anxieties and lead a happy life.
Much respect and honor is paid to the
old mother or the older grandmother in
Japan. Her own children and her sons
daughters vie in doing things for her
and in trying to please her She is free
to come or go as she likes among them,
and they will entertain her and make
much of her, so that her old age is full
of freedom and pleasure. No wonder
children are longed for by Japanese wo-
men, for It is only through them that this
happy period is reached and so many
blessings are obtained.

one of the best known manufacturers in

Charlotte, n. c., Oct. l5.-Ex-Judge d. l..

audience of about 1000, nearly all of whom

NO FUSION IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The POpuIists Reject the Offer of
the Democrats.


Raleigh, n. c., Oct. 15.-The populist
state committee was in session all night,
and until 1890 o'clock to-day. 1t discussed
the democratic committees proposition for
state, congressional and legislature fusion,
and rejected it by vote of 16 to 2. The
cause of the long session was the argu-
ment of two committeeman against stop
ping all further negotiations with the dem
Ocrats.
Populist Chairman Aver this afternoon
wrote Democratic Chairman Manly a let
ter in which he says he is instructed by
his committee to say that the democratic
proposition is declined, first because the
democrats on Aug ], declined Senator
Buffers proposition ror complete fusion
second, that it is now too late to make flu
sion a success or secure the hearty and
loyal support of both parties necessary to
make it successful; third. that it is not
possible to make proposition acceptable
to the democratic committee which must
be acceptable to the latter, and which
would be sustained by the full strength of
both parties The committee, in conclu-
sion suggests that the only way for the
democrats to defeat the republican nomi-
nee for governor is the voluntary with
drawal of the democratic nominee and the
concentration of the democrats on the
populiSt nominee.
