The Dowager Empress of Japan.

The Empress DoWager of Japan,
whose death is announced, was one Of
the few surviving members of the old
regime in the imperial circle. She bad
her separate palaces and courts at
Kioto and Toxic, where the ancient sys-
TEN prevailed. She seldom appeared
at official functions, and had made but
one concession to modern ways. She
used a landau, with men in livery on
the box She had charge of the imperial
nurseries, where the children of the
Emperor by his various wives are kept
until they reach the age of 5 or g..
There were rooms set apart for
her at the palace Of her son,
but she seldom occupied them, for
she visited but little, and could not
reconcile herself to the change that had
come over land and people. SO she
passes out of history, at least for the
Western world, which will probably
never know more of her than has been
recorded by the American traveller,
Mrs. Starr
The great change was no change of
her making. She had brought up her
son, Mutsu Hito, in the most orthodox
and respectable way. At the age of
IT., when he came to- the throne, he
could read the Chinese classics. write
poetry, arrange flowers according to
the elaborate system of the japanese,
and give a tea party with appropriate
ceremony. That was about all, and the
fond mother no doubt thought it was
quite enough. The hundred and TWEEN
ty predecessors of Mutsu Hito, in the
same line, who had ruled Japan for
900 years, had never known more
and most of them had known less The
lad was worshipped as a god like his
fathers before him, and that sort Of
reverence covers multitude of sins in
the object of alteration. No man might
look upon his face and live He was
never allowed to wear the same gar
ment twice, nor eat off the same dish
a second time, both clothing and crock
cry being destroyed at once.
So things went on until he ventured
to look at the sun without veil, liked
it, and thenceforward turned his i'm
perial countenance on his whole people
The new man had come to town
Changes followed with startling rapid
lty. Forty-nine superior persons. with
their wives and sisters were sent round
the world to report on constitutions
manners, customs and education for
men and women. The poor Dowager-
Empress must have stood by. like the
mother of Aladdin. with her hands in
air; but her astonishing boy was not to
be gainsaid. She lived long enough to
be about the only "dowdy" in the court
circle. and TO see naughty China on its
knees before her sons throne.-London
