Japanese Explorers.

Japan has keen explorers. The pro-
fessor of astronomy in the University
of Toxic, Mr.. Nomaka, accompanied by
his wife, last October assembled Mount
Fujiyama, $4,000 feet higb,, to make
meteorological observations in the
course of the winter. A short time ago
word was received that the professor
was dying, and relief expedition was
fitted out. With great difficulty the
members of the expedition reached the
snow-covered hut. Prof. Nomaha was
found to be exceedingly weak and un-
able to move, but his wife had suffered
no evil results from the exposure. No
maka was taken back to Toxic, but he
declares he will return next winter, and
his wife says she will accompany him
again.

SUCCESS OF THREE SISTERS.
Reverses In Fortune Induce Them to
Open Q Lunch Room.


The city OF Cincinnati possesses a
striking example OF what can bc don:
by woman's pluck when accompanied
by practical common sense. Twelve
years ago the Misses Stewart, three
young women who had been reared i'll
wealth, were by business failures
thrown upon their own resources.
They secured room in a business
block and established lunch-room,
where they made a specially OF hom.
cookery. Most Of the work they did
with their own hands, and the excel
lence Of their supplies soon created a
demand. The little lunch-room became
q success, and at the end of five years,
when the great Chamber of Commerce
building was put up and there was to le
large restaurant connected with ii,
the Misses Stewart boldly applied for
it. They were backed by many of the
best business men of the city, who had
known them in their days of wealth
and been impressed by their ability rs
business women. Their bid was ac-
cepted, the Misses Stewart assumed
charge of the "Glencairn" lunch-roo,n,
and have conducted it without break
or failure for the last seven years.
The clientele is very large. For rent
and services alone the yearly expenses
are $4,000. The prices charged for
food are very reasonable, yet the sis-
ters not only paid all expenses, but live
in comfort and are becoming wealthy.
They have never lost social position by
going into business, and during their
entire career have never had to borrow
q dollar.

On Sunday morning last, at the home
Of his father, Bedford Calwell, Esq,
White Sulphur Springs, this county,
Mr.. James Lewis Calwell, eldest son
OF. Mr.. Bedford and Mrs. Margaret Cal
well, died, of typhoid fever, in the 44th
year of his age. Mr.. Calwell was at
one time an engineer, engaged in sur
veying and locating the route of the
present Ches. q o. Ry., Postmaster at
the White Sulphur Springs, and was
elected Justice of the Peace of that
district, but declined to qualify. He
was much regarded by his neighbors as
a true and tried friend and prompt in
the discharge of his duties as husband
and father, and the dread disease, which
ended his youthful career, was con-
tracted by his faithfulness in the unre-
hitting care and nursing given his
children, suffering with the same
maladY. His evenness of disposition
and good natured amiability always
made him welcome to his friends and
acquaintance. This sudden ending of
earthly ties will be deeply felt 10y all
who knew him. Mr.. Calwell's wife,
who was Miss Hillary, preceded him
to the grave several years ago, and his
death leaves his six children, two boys
and four girls, orphans indeed.
