THE DECORATIVE JAPANESE
Home Ways of Summer Edfa Among ths
 Mikado's People.

Gardens excepted, there are no out ward manifestations of the old poetry of Japanese life so remarkable as those summer houses occupying all the pic turesque sites of the country Wherever there is view worth going to see you will almost certainly. find a summer house built to command it, no matter how wild or poor the district.
 You will find summer houses cling ing to sea cliffs over the thunder of breakers, nestling ill shadows of gorges over the roaring of rapids, strutted out over the preeipiee fronts like eagles nests at the verge of dead craters, for in Japan there will always De summer guests wherever there is summer beauty, travellers happy to please their eyes and rest their feet and to leave some coppers ill payment for the privilege of the vision and the repose.
 The summer house at which am now staying is typical of the class. a skeleton structure of two stories, simply and strongly built after the manner of peasants dwellings and at cost of perhaps $60. Timber is cheap here. On the other side of Japan such build ing could not be put up for $500. It stands on the edge of a lofty cliff and overlooks little bay near ancient Motnoseki. From ground floor to roof it is open on three sides, and on the seaward side shelter from the sun and wind is given by trees rooted in the cliff below, but towering far above the eayes-enormous pines, with branches many feet in girth. Between the zig gags of those mighty limbs there are glimpses of the sea and fishing sails (canvas or straw fitting like white or yellow butterflies, and the far pale thread line Of the Hoki coast, and Dia- sen 8 cone thrusting into the clear sky like some prodigious blue crystal, or, looking directly down over the needle foliage of younger pines, you see the wimpling of the bay and bathers laugh ing among the rocks, and children play ing with seaweed and shells. You view the world as a tishhawk views it. though 1 presume with vastly different sensations After swim it is delight. ful Co sleep here, the sharp, sweet sea wind in your hair. You are furnished with bathing dress, sandals, q big straw hat of curious shape to keep of the sun, barley tea and cakes, smok- ing box and pillow, and the price per day of this entertainment is--S eents The guest is expected to bring his Own food with him and to provide himself with towels. -Lafcadio Hearn in At lantic Monthly.

Painted Furniture.

Surely the end of the delft craze haa fully arrived when furniture is enameled in the shining white and painted in tl.e militant blue. Chairs are to be bought all windmills and watery channels oGf lined by stiff little trees. Even cradIys are thus painted by some evil minded designer who has not learned the fiji ;t principles of his art and who is not aware of tho height of absurdity reached by such designs so used. A very dainty cradle was seen not long ago, painted in Il dsesten design of tiny violets, rose buds and forgetmenots on a white ground. By the way, although an anna. teur cannot paint furniture in any sort of pattern, almost any woman can wield brush well enough to give 8 piece of furniture few coats of paint, and now one can buy all possible shades in a powdered form so that their mixing with the white enamel until the exac tint wished for is attained is all easy matter within the reach of any of us who desire to renoyate an old chair ul table

How Two Girls Made Money.

"A country girl who is determined tu go to Paris to study art is laying aside for this purpose each dollar she has earned, writes Ruth Ashmore, i'll an article on "The Girl h the Country, !" in The Ladies Home Journal "She found that there was no one else in the village who could make as good bread and biscuit as she; that those who had to buy complained of the bakers bread. She made no effort at sending her bread to a woInan's exchange as she knew that such places were always oYerstock' ed, but she went through her own town "a very small one-and asked for or ders. She Is making money because there has never been sad loaf Of bread or heavy biscuit sent out from her kitchen. She will supply a neighbor with hot biscuits at teatime, and she has learned to make dainty rusk, espe- cially for invalids, who enjoy these light, sweet dainties. Her prices are reasonable.
 Another girl, ambitious 10 gain something. got her father to let her have bit of ground and to give her the money that he would otherwise have bestowed upon her for wedding dress. With this she was able to buy plants and to hire boy to help her, aud dur. ing the summer, while the boarding houses around demanded them, she served the freshest of radishes, the crisp est of lettuce, the earliest corn and the largest tomatoes, and she says now that she thinks she will double the size of her garden neXt snmmnr v

A SHORT time ago tfe Republican newspapars called attention to the fact that the large steel works at nellaire, Ohio, had resumed opera tions after having been closed down for six months, aud declared that 1t demonstrated the wisdom of the Republican party III passing the Dingley bill. The Bellaire Tribune, however. puts a large fly in their ointment by publishing the new schedule of wages showing Q reduc- tion Of 30 per cent as compared with the wages paid when the plant shut down, and also reduction of the number of employees. This gives a fair idea of how the new tariff law benefits the working classes. Wages are being cut right and left in all industries while the cost of living has been largely increased. IN. o. States.

The work of the Catholic ladies ib Brooklyn who have the management of the Womsn's Catholic association of that city is something of departure from the usual routine of benevolent work undertaken by the women of that sect. The association. which Is now three years old and very prosperous, ia modelled closely on the lines of the Young Women's Christian associations. It is a clubhouse for young women. where they can get almost any sort of helpful instruction and entertainment. There are free classes i'll plain sewing, preparatory dressmaking, penmanship and elementary English. and classes. al which nominal fee is charged. in type, writing, stenography, bookkeeping. physical culture and other departments of direct commercial value to the mem. bers.

RIG HTS AND DUTIES
 OF WEALTH


 That property has responsibilities to organized society, as well as rights to be protected by it,is fact that seems often to be overlooked by the owners of large wealth. In the long run the rights of property cannot remain secure if the respon- sibility that goes with it's owner ship Is ignored.
 Wealth demands protection from thievei y and violence at all times, and no society is civilized that does not afford such protection. But what shall be said of the wealthy corporate interests that insist to the letter upon the rights which law confers upon property, even to the orderieg out of troops in their be- half, and then cooly shift q dispro- portionate share of the burden of maintaining the Government from which they clain these rights upon the shoulders of others and probably poorer members of the community?
 A great deal is heard in these days about attacks on the rights of property, and it is, indeed, unfor tunate that the wild and revolu- tionary talk Of certain classes of agitators should find as much re- epOnse as it does among part of the population. But let wealth remem- Der the duties it owes to society and the dangers that menace it's rights will vanish and the power Of the revolutionary agitators will cease. Let wealth pay fair proportion of taxes; let 1t help rather than hinder the work of securing revenue sys- tcm that will make it easier to ap- portion the burdens Of taxation fair and equitably among the mem bers of the community. Let honest wealth array itself on the side of the public and honest government when nuscrupulous wealth is trying to thunder the public. In short, let wealth remember the responsibill- 4ies which it owes to society, and the rights which It claims will be accorded without question. T Chi eng F cord.

 ''If freaks become any scarcer, said a dime museum proprietor a few days ago, "a good many of us will have to go out of the business. I never ill my life saw such slump. Eight or ten years ago we could get all the freaks and curiosities we wanted-real ones, too, and no fakes We've got agents securing the world for them, but they are as scarce as straw berries at Christ mas time.

The reasons for the interest with
which the plans for Pacific cable are
watchediR England are not altogether
political or strategical, says the New
York Post. The possible diversion OF
cable traffic from an old submarine
system to a new is indicated in some
figures given in London at the last
meeting of the Eastern Extension"
Company, one of the greatest of the
enterprises to which Sir John Fender
gave hts thought. The gross revenue
ia about SO. 900, 600 year; the work
ing expenses run only about 5000, 900
year Discussing the prospects of a
Pacific cable competition, the Marquis
of Tweedale said that the loss OF the
Eastern Extention business might
range from $780, 900 to 81, $50, 900 a
year. He hardly expected such ad.
verse conditions, however, and mean
time the new rival cables had not been
laid. As to the possibilities of an
augmented cable traffic at the anti.
+podes and with China and Japan, it
appeared that an increase of $3.50, 600
in the last half.year had sprung almost
entirely from the activity in ewes
tralian" gold mining, AS regards the
stability of the English submarine
cable enterprises, it may be noted
that tho Eastern Exteption property
is valued at q premium of $40, 900, 00O
on its capital value, and the allied
Eastern Telegraphs at about $40, 900,
OOO more over the capital value.

Irish, who have gone upon farms of
the West to make homes for them

Americans westward is sufficient cause
for alarm-in the East. It is this fact

A Thought Weighing Machine.

The cerebrum is the organ of the
will and it is known that in the exer-
else OF it's function there is an increased
supply of blood to that part. Profess
sor Mosso, an Italian psychologist, has
invented thought-weighing machine,
consisting of delicate balances so con-
trived that they weigh the varying
amount of blood in the brain. The
activity of the brain is in direct pro.
portion to the amount of blood there
in. According to a local newspaper
report, tho machine is so delicately
constructed that it readily detects the
difference in the exertion required to
read Greek above that necessary to
read Latin. Every youngster is ready
