MISSION WORK IN JAPAN.
Mrs. Winn's Enterprise for Orphans
at kRuRxayya.

The Rev. and Mrs. Thomas G. Winn.
who have been missionaries in Japan for
twenty years under the Presbyterian
Board of Foreign Missions, have returned
TO America for rest.
Mrs. Winn's work has been among the
women and children, especially the lat
ter. In 1894 she opened In the old city of
Kanagawa an orphanage, in which there
are at present thirty inmates, all but
three of whom are boys A brush -mak-
ing industry was added by her, and she
says that the little ones have shown a
remarkable aptitude in learning 9the
trade. They make clothes. shoe, hair, hat,
crumb, tooth. and even bicycle brushes
when the children first came to us"
said Mrs. VIM, they were so nearly
starved that we could hardly get enough
food for them TO eat. They made match
boxes first, and the paste given them for
that purpose would all be eaten up in
short time il not carefully watched but
now they are well satisfied with regular
meals of plain food and have developed
into strong, healthy children. They are
kept busy making brushes in the morn
ing and studying two hours in the after
noon, but are contented and happy. Most
of them will have an ordinary education

men and women, and they will all have
a trade"
Mrs. Winn says that she felt for many
years the great need of an orphanage I'm
the place There are numberless waits,
cast off by parents too poor or too wick
ed to care for them. and such an insti-
tuition an orphanage had never been
heard of there.
On one of those peculiarly chilly DAVIS
common to the Japanese winter, nine or
ten children came begging to her door
The old rags which served them for
clothing concealed but poorly their poor
little shivering forms. loathsome with
filth and sores. She had been in the habit
Of giving help and sympathy to the
wretched creatures who daily came to
beg, but on that particular day so pitt
full was the condition of the little al
mond-eyed waits that she could not turn
them away.
1T seemed" she said when speaking of
1t. ''as If a work had come to us and our
prayers for the guidance of our Heav-
emily Father had been answered. Ac-
cordingly the orphanage started on an
humble scale by taking in these wan
derers and by renting a little japanese
house. The children were thoroughly
scrubbed. their hair cut off. and fresh.
clean ciorthes put on them. and then
began the work of correcting the habits
derived from evil associations
Mr.. and Mrs. Hisok. native Chris
tians. were found. who were adapted to
the work of caring for the children. and
soon our little house was exchanged for
\ large, comfortable one. Our work has
so impressed the citizens of the place
that there is much talk among the Bud
dhists Of opening an orphanage on a
much larger scale.
AS soon as possible the industry will
be enlarged, and work given to many ma
tive Christians who are suffering loss
for Christ's sake concluded Mrs.
VIM.

she let butchers and grocers' boys call

sure to be dissatisfaction if she does.

Gorgeous Gowns Made in Haste.

1t is q lovely thing to be a Duse and,
therefore. possessed of an authority be
fore which Nictoria's sway is insignifi-
cant. A London paper tells Of an Incl
dent that emphasizes this. A short time
ago Duse was to play in Monte Carlo, and
decided at the last moment that she want
ed some news gowns She wired to Worth:
DAY after tomorrow / play La Dame
aux Camelias.' Can you let me have four
dresses? / want one for each act, as
beautiful as you can make them The

But NJ Wsrth had no thought Of DISC
bedience. A marvellous bali dress of
white satin. embroidered with gold and
pearls, its long train smothered in point
a Alencon, was created as if by magic.
More than a hundred yards Of white
mousseline de sole were fiuffed into
robe for the last scene. In spite OF the
mad haste everything was as perfectly
finished as if time waited for Duse. In
fifteen hours the task was finished and
the four dresses neatly packed and on
their way to Queen Eleanor Duse.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
..-t.- and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans IS
Indigestion or in its chronic form, dys-
pepsia, and for the very reason that it
is so common many people neglect TAX
ing proper treatment for what they con-
slider trifiing stomach trouble, when rs
a matter of fact, indigestion LAYS the
foundation for many incurable diseases
No person with a vigorous, healthy
stomach will fall victim to consump-
ton. Many kidney diseases and heart
troubles date their beginning from poor
digestion; thin, nervous people are really
so because their stomachs are out of
gear; weary, languid, faded out woman
owe their condition to imperfect diges
ton.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion il is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
eft medicine on the market claims to be
a cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score
OF other troubles, when in fact, as DR..
Werthier says, there is but one genuine
dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe
and reliable, and moreover, thir remedy
is not patent medicine. but it is scen-
tifie combination of pure pepsin Gree
from animal matter, vegetable essences
fruit, salts and bismuth. 1t is sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. No extravaganza
claims are made for them. but for
Indigestion or any stomach trouble.
stuart's- Dyspepsia Tablets are far
ahead of any remedy yet discover
ed. They act on the food eaten, 10
dieting is necessary. simply eat all
the wholesome food you want and these
tablets will digest it. A cure results. be-
cause all the stomac Oh, needs is a rest,
which Snart's Dyspepsia Tablets give
by doing the work of digestion.

Delights of ~ ScrupbOOlS

Very few people know how much pleas
ure is to be got out of that old-fashiOned
contrivance. a scrapbook. BY this is not
meant merely a collection of sticky pages
lily covered with more or less interesting
clippings from newspapers. consisting
mainly of poetry. and that of the senti-
mental or melancholy order. Under the
hands of a clever woman a scrapbook
becomes a creation OF real genius.
Not long since a bright woman who
has done some very creditable newspaper
work was asked by a friend for q set
of her articles, describing a trip into
new countries. The bright young writer
got a good-sized scrapbook. covered in
soft brown leather. and in this she past
ed her chatty columns. not in dull. regu-
lar rows. but interspersed and inter
mingled with ali manner of suggestive
pictures. head and tail pieces. and mar
ginal jottings, cut from picture papers,
catalogues and old magazines.
With such nice discrimination had she
selected these pictures 50 appropriately
did they fill her text and with such ex-
quisite neatness did she perform the me-
chanical work, that her scrapbook when
finished actually possessed a very consid-
cradle intrinsic value.
The same young lady. desiring to amuse
sick friend, first secured collection of
new and good anecdotes. These she scrap
booked with illustrations, and her little
gift has the charm Of infinite variety
which il will take great deal Of custom
10 stale. Children should be taught the
art and beauty as we'll as the value OF
sCrapbooks.
The helter-sketer scrapbook made
without rhyme or reason. with facts and
hctions and poetry all pasted in just as
they came TO hand. is an unsightly affair
and offends any well-Ordered mind The
art of making a scrapbook has its own
peculiar graces, and the making should
afford an intellectual pleasure of a very
high order.

Forthcoming n Good Intention.

u am not of any use in the world; my
life IS a lazy, useless one, and wish
could do something to make the world
better" walled an enthusastic-looking
little woman to a tired friend, who was
brushing the dust from her clothes after
a day of service in the hospitals.
why, there is so much you can do"
said her friend You are so full of life
and vigor, and health. You can sing and
laugh. and cheer so many up, and you
can give little away" f--''
81 will begin tomorrow" was the en-
thusiastic rejoinder Not another mo
ment will 1 waste; l have been selfish
and self-centered and mean, but it must
be so no longer" tD ~,
The dear little woman went to bed with
her thoughts full of prayers and songs
and lint and sympathy-she did not wake
up until 10 o'clock the next day, and then
she decided to postpone her plans for a
week or two. ~

There are few things that exhaust a

but when he accompanies her on one of
these shopping expeditions he goes

implies two things-the responsibility
and obligation of the housekeeper and the
corresponding responsibility and obliga-
ton of the houseworker. 1t is
not necessary, in speaking to an au-
dience made up of housekeepers, to
speak of the various shortcomings Of
the houseworker, but there are some
things to be considered.
''In factory and shop the wages are low
for unskilled labor. but the hours have
been shortenedfrom fourteen to ten,
with the prospect of further reduc-
ton to eight. The privileges are enum-
Grated with circumspection and with due
regard to customary rules. In the house
hold the wages are high. an average
cook receiving the same salary as u
teacher; but the hours are long and ir-
regular. For the one the externals Of
home are provided. but for the other
there are no claims upon the employer
outside of business hours. Some house
hold economists contend that the provis-
ion of the home should be taken
away to insure shorter hours for the
housekeeper. but the privileges of a home
are often the incentives that bring young
girls into its protection.

u1uO present CONDITIONS tue DeSl lnluB
is 10 shorten the hours and arrange
household work so as not to average
more than sixty hours a week"
Among the essentials with which every
hOusekeeper should see the houseworker
provided. Mrs. Nathan enumerated
comfortable bedroom. all her own; the
use of a bath. and a room where she may
receive visitors. II there is no other
room the kitchen should be provided
with an evening dress.
Mrs. Nathan declared that IL was put
ting a premium on clandcstine meetings
to forbide male visitors to the house,
but the employer should see to it that
order was maintained and the house clos
ed at "A certain hour.
Every woman is entitled to the love
and devotion of a good man." said Mrs.
Nathan. 'and it is neither moral nor
right to deny a girl this privilege"
Other points insisted upon were that
children should be taught To treat d.
mestics with Difference and respect.
There should be immunity from con-
slant suspicion. and when a reprimand
was to be administered it should be done
in private. ...
