night In a Japanese tea house. We start
ed in rikishas from Nikko early In the
morning. and the entire distance of fifteen
miles was steep ascent; winding by the
most beautiful mountain streams, and
every little distance passing a waterfall.
1t was like trip In the Alps, and the wild,
grand scenery was most impressive.
We arrived at the lake which is hemmed
in by mountains, about noon, and after
typical Japanese lunch of fish and rice.
cooked in very queer fashion we con-
tinued to Yumoto. This is a village IA
nous for its hot sulphur springs, and to
derive benefit from its healing properties,
great crowds come 10 battle. Here we
spent the night In true japanese style, as
there is no foreign hotel in the town.
The Japanese housese are charming In
their simplicity and cleanliness, and to the
foreigner accustomed to quantity in deco
ration the absence of all such Is striking.
The partition walls are only sliding paper
screens. and the floors are covered with
mats, which serve as chairs and beds. The
people always remove their shoes on en-
tering house. and have found It very
inconvenient to obey this unwritten law.
No furniture Is necessary for their sim
pie habits, and mt night comfort and
wooden pillow are brought out from some
unknown place. To explain the use of tho
wooden pillows: japanese ladies have their
hair arranged in the most elaborate fash
ion and TO preserve their couture they
sleep with the hard pillow under the nape
of the neck. with such comforts as these
we laid down to rest, and slept as only
weary travellers can

When an Atlanta woman recently ac-
knowlcdged in a published Interview that
II She were thrown on her own resources
she would be farmer, her friends rather
laughed a tne idea. Yet it seems that in
the United States especially IN the west
there are Il number Of women farmers,
and that in every instance they are sig
nally successful.
There is no reason why II women are
good housekeepers, including, as the word
does. the entire management of the hone,
that their tact IN this line shouldn't extend
to the proportion Of their estate. And tine
women whose possessions extend over
acres and acres Of grounds should them
selves understand as much about It's cnl-
tyation as they do that Of their flower
gardens. There are number OF Georgia
women who are largely Instrumental IN
the running OF their husbands farms, and
WHO are as well up on agriculture as the
average man. As rule. such women are
gifted ia all the arts OF domestcity and
with their knowledge OF agriculture are
possessed az executive ability, too.
An instance Of tAis came TO liBht IN the
case Of clover woman OF northeastern
Georgia. who. applying for space 70 eNhto-
ii her own farm products at the exposition.
found She was too late and that there was
no room for her. She was, however. deter
mined to be recognized in her success in
aericulture and with little difficulty work
cd up county fair that was one OF the
best ever held in that part Of Georgia. Her
executive ability displayed IN its entire
management was unusual, and she may be
considered today one of the best farmers
in the state. In the present

In the state of Illinois there are three
Young women farmers, the subject Of an
interesting story recently told in The
New York sun. Their farms aggregate
400 acres. and were inherited from their
father. John -. Gillett. a wcl known man
II, Illinois. who owned 1000 acres IN Logan
county at the time OF his death nine years
ago The young women are practical agri-
culturists, having picked up much of their
knowledge going over the farms with their
father. and yet they are finely educated
speaking French. and have a taste for art
literature and music.
They devoted their entire time to tho
farms for the first few years after they
assumed the man agamcnt and now the land
yields twice much as It did the time
of their fathers death. Corn is their prin-
cipal product, and the average yield is
sixty bushels an acre. They have drained
a lake of 400 acres by digging "A ditch a
mile and half long. The farms are divld-
ed into small sections. which are titled by
tenants with whom they divide the crops.
These women ride thirty forty miles
a day their tours of inspection. which
are not at stated times. so the tenants
have way of knowing when they are
coming Miss Nina Gilett says there is no
work she would prefer to farming. and
thinks n woman who has a knowledge of
the subject and some experience IS just
as good a farmer as a man. Miss Amy Is

The heresy hunter is on his rounds.
He has a right to be on the trail.
Churches are ordained to teach GER
tain things as to human and divine
relation that they accept as truth.
Anything contrary to these standards
they do not accept as truth,an there
fore cannot give the sanction of their
authority to such teaching. This is so
apparent that the wonder is that a
man who is so broad that he cannot
accept the church statement is not
broad enough to deal honestly with
the church and rejecting her author
ity, make no attempt to teach con-
trary to her tenets while speaking in
her name, There Is ingram dishonesty
in doing this very thing.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 81, 1897.

Reduction of hours of labor in order
to give employment to a greater num-
Der of workmen, is going into effect
in several mills in the eastern and
middle and northern states and
solves practically the question Of emf
ployment to just so many more oilers.
True, each man earns a little less than
under the old hours, but he can live
on his lesser earrings and the benefits
accrue to those who have beer hither,
to unemployed. If only the national
government would take interest in
this thing and shut out the unemploy,
ed of other lands until our idlers were
all at work, there would be a new era
of prosperity ushered in to stay, SC
mote it be.

vote for the strongest protective tar
riff that has yet been famed. Not on

he would lose his seat instanter if he

There are no great breaks In the
levees of the Mississippi, but there are
a number of small ones stretching for
two hundred miles up and. down
stream. The utmost vigilance is be-

levees for a thousand miles and, the
hope is in every breast that the de-
vastation that would follow a general
break in the levee system may be
averted. The situation at best is, a

Some irreverent fellow, evidently
not a native American, suggests that
the reason why there is not a general
tendency on the part of the ladies to
adopt the short skirt on the street is
because the feet that would appear
under the edge of the drapery would
be too large for the pride Of the own,
ers. This is a libel. for the real Amer.
lean has not an Englishwoman's big
foot. The only reason in the world
why the fashionable and the unfash.
ionable woman continues to do duty
as a street sCraper is because the de
crees of fashion have not said other
wise.

The New England manufacturers
are not looking kindly on the protec-
ton that affords the southern cotton
mills the opportunity to engage sue
cessfully in the business of making
cotton goods. There is sense as well
as seltishness in this, but it is not the
fault of the southern cotton spinner
that the New England mill is so far
away from the field Of cotton produc-
ton.
