JAPANESE MOTHERS.
They Thoroughly Understand the Tender
Care of Children.

1t sometimes happens that one sees a
young American mother so utterly unfit
for the training of children and fer the
duties CT mc.teI,oci that one cannot
but wonder why il pleased Providence
ever to give her tho care Of little ones
This happens sometimes in the case of
really estimable women, and | have
heard young mother say sadly that she
never quite knew what to do with baby,
it was such queer little thing, and She
was half afraid to touch it. Other young
things in the shape Of puppies, kittens
or even colts, she knew all about and
was quite at home with, but her own
child remained sort of curious and I'M
canny little being to her till his baby
days were over and he began to share
in his mothers hobbies in a boyish sort
Of way,
Now, in Japan mother like this is
an impossibility She is not interested
in politics or in social reforms, neither
is she bent on being social success, nor
devoted to any scientific philanthropic
work, as are so many Of her western sis
ters. She is par excellence a mother,
and one who cannot be rivaled III any
other country. No children are so well
and carefully tended as hers, and she is
patient and gentle with them, never
threatening them, if they are unruly
with corporal punishment, nor raising
her voice and scolding them III the I'M
pleasant way one so often hears III other
countries. The japanese mother is a
born kindergaertnerin and enters into
the lives of her little ones just as easily
as the western kindergarten teacher who
has undergone long period of study
and training. To her the duties of
motherhood come naturally, for among
her nation women who will make good
mothers are chosen as wives, and thus
in the course of nature the quality of
motherliness is intensified as time goes
on, and the race of mothers becomes
very superior,
Nowhere is motherhood as respected
as III Japan, and nowhere does the
mother receive more attention from both
her husband and her children. She is
regarded as the maker Of the race, and
her maternal duties are considered to be
exceedingly honorable and to entitle her
to the utmost consideration and atfec-

ONE OF THE MEAN ONES.

-Four or five preachers, at Il preachers

This party was fairly we'll to do

of AN old uncle to the extent of at least
500, 600 He was man of about 45
and was. on the surface, an extremely
pious kind of Il man, with strict ideas
of biblical interpretations, At this time
the rich old uucle--a millionaire by
the way-was approaching the scrip
tural limit of human existence-three
score and ten--and his pious nephew
had begun to figure ON what he was GO
ing to do with his share of the old man 8
fortune. The latter however, did not

held ON until he was 8 years old Then
he departed, and as per expectation,
when the estate was settled up the pious
nephew received 500, 600, more or less.
He ought to have been satisfied, of
course, but he wasn't, and after mouth
ing around about his hard luck, he
finally capped the climax by suing the
trustees Of the residue of the estate,
which had been willed to charity, for
the interest ON 500, 600 at per cent
for the time that elapsed between the
three score and ten limit and the date of
the death of his uncle period of 81
years months, the whole amount Of
interest being $l27, 500 He even went
SO far rs TO swear that per cent was
too low, and that he could have got
s right along for the whole time if
the old man had died when the Bible
said ne ought to die. Being in the fam
lily however, he was willing to discount

The following is what Golfers
Weekly says on an important sub
ject: "Two torments of all States
-convicts and bad roads-have
been set to abating each other in
North Carolina and the results
are said to be entirely satisfactory.
The men were in better health
and made less trouble while
working than when idle in prisons
and there was none of the custo-
mary complaint that convict labor
was depriving honest men of
work, for nothing would have
been done to the roads had not
the convict labor been available.
The same experiment has often
been made successfully in New
Eng land towns, the sworkers be-
ing petty offenders in the local
jails. The only objection to the
system has been the extra cost Of
guarding the prisoners, but when
the jailers were fit for their busi-
ness no such expense was incur
red. Were the system to become
general, it would probably do
more than any other terror of
the law" to restrain the average
of petty offenders, for this class
hates and fears nothing so much
as hard labor. AS to the bad
roads, they can be found any
where.
The Lehi banner. [volume] (Lehi, Utah) 1891-1917, 1897-07-20

Over in Kansas City where
they believe in equal rights the
police commissioners decided that
women prisoners should be put
to work alongside the men break
ing rock. The sentiment against
it was too strong and the women
won't be equal to the men in this
instance. Their equality does
not extend to everything.
