Ne Head Covering For Girls In Japan
Miss Ida Tigner Hodnstt writes Of The
Little Japanese at Home" In st. Nieholsss
Miss Hodnett says:
There is nc special head covering IN the
native costume for girls. Indeed the mode
of dressing the hair would not admit OF
hats and bonnets such as ours. There Is
rivalry among Japanese girls as to whose
hair shall be most beoomingly and artis-
tically arranged, whose girdie be most
gracefully tied and whose robe show the
most harmonious effects, and they are
quite equal to their western sisters IN tho
tasts for personal adjournment. The Japa1
nese parasol is used as q shelter f1om the
sun, and the European umbrella Is gain
ing favor. For going out in the rain there
are rain coats and rain hats made Of oiled
paper.

petings and the dashing Of fountains ue
water over one another, than Paddy sta~
toned himself on the edge Of the BAN and
began to throw stones M unkfnd re-
marks at them.
The elephants, whose drab velvet coats
had been changed to black satin by the
water, were at first too happy to be teassd, 4
but their keeper, who had walked beside
the baby elephant to the river, carrying I'M
his arms the great milk bottle from which
she took hsr dinner, warned Paddy not to
hit the baby as the mother elephant, Beat
rice, was very Cross.
Paddy foclishly kept on, and soon .
stone struck the baby, and before tbs boy
could make his escape the mother with q
yell of rage had seized him In her trunk
and taken him out into the middle Of the
river.
The crowd was silent with hcrzor. ez-
peoting to see poor Paddy dashed 10 pieces
or his life trampled out by the herd. But
no; the others all stood back and let Mms.
Beatrice punish as she would. +
She dipped the struggling, bowling
Paddy many times into the water; then,
taking him to where the baby stood, She
used him as a soruhbing brush or sort OF
wash rag on his fat back and sides.
Then, while every one screamed with
laughter, she threw Paddy on the bank q
saddar, wiser and cleaner boy, and there
a chorus Of voices greeted him, crying:
Paddy went ini Paddy Polan went

PEAcH-At the home of his daughter,
Mrs G. II. George, in River Fails, jan
l, 1898, John Peach, aged 81 years and
s months
Mr. John Peach came to this city
with his daughter, only last spring and
being an invalid was little known except
by intimate friends of the family. lie
had known a vigorous past, however, and
took an active part in the life of his home
town, Newbury, Vt. He was born at
that place on April 80 1910, and resided
there till 1889, when he went to Dakota
to join his only daughter, Mrs. George.
Something over year ago he met with
fall which crippled his shoulder and
left him quite helpless. His mind has
also been erratic in certain directions
though little impaired in others.
Mr. Peach was one OF the later Green
Mountain BOYS, and preserved in his
sterling personality and vigorous character
the distinctive traits that made Ethan
Allen and his associates SO aggressive a
force in New England's early history. He
was the grandfather of Mrs A. Z. Toby
The funeral, which was conducted
Tuesday under the direction of Rev. w
NJ. Balch. was attended by a considerable
concourse of sympathizing friends.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles.
So the womb, like the bladder, was Great
ed for one purpose, and if not doctored too
much is not liable to weakness or disease,
except in rare cases. 1t is situated back
of and very close to the bladder, therefore
any pain, disease or Inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often by mistake, at
tributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. To
find out correctly, set your urine aside for
twenty-four hours; sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trouble.

Railroad Accidents.

Two Slight accidents occurred to
trains on the line between this city
and Ellsworth since our last issue
On Friday night, when the passenger
was some four miles out of town, the
shaft of one of the big drive wheels on
the engine broke off, and sent the
driver spinning away into the fields.
The train WAS stopped without furth-
err damage, word was Immediately
sent to town and in a short time the
wrecking train arrived from Hudson
to relieve the crippled engine. On
Monday evening the freight engine
ran com pletely off the rails while
switching in the yards at Beldenville.
1t was Obliged to wait for assistance
from Hudson, and the freight was
consequently delayed several hours.

Catholic Church Items.

All the young people are cordially
invited to come to the club Saturday

gregate for sociability.
The dramatic club will meet at DR..
Radcilf's dental parlors Saturday
evening for rehearsal
Sunday, Jan. 9th, divine service
will be held at 1890. The subject OF
the sermon will be: "The Latin
Language-Why used in the Liturgy
OF the Catholic Church." This SER
mon will be exceptionally interesting
and repete with desirabIeinstruction,
since the subject itself is one concern
ing which there is a great deal of
ignorance and prejudice prevalent
among the uniformed After the
service all are invited to repair to the
Church Hall'' where warm dinner
will be spread by theladies and where
people can meet for closer friendship
and acquaintance.
In the evening at 7:3O the sermon
will be: There is only one Cod
Proved from Reason and Divine
Revelation" Every Christian ought
to be able to prove this against
modern infdelity. Come and be
instructed.
Before the evening sermon the fol-
lowing question from the question
box will be expounded; Catholics are
condemned for honoring the Blessed
Virgin so much-How do you justify
such practice from the Bible?
Everyone OF the Catholic church
fair tickets will draw valuable prize.
We can afford to DO this from the
fact that nearly all the prizes will be
donated. Upwards OF 100 prizes ex-
coed in value the purchase price OF the
ticket. We Kindly appeal to all for
their liberal patronage.

Normal School Block.

The Normal reopened on Tuesday
morning, after vacation Of ten days,
in very cheerful mood. The stu
dents found that although they had
been resting some one had been at
work in their interests, in fitting up
the New Headquarters in manner
suitable TO their needs.
Since their departure to their homes
on December "a, new patent desks
have been provided and placed in the
New Methodist church and that gives
to the building a school room air
different from anything the students
have experienced since the fire.
In reality tue school is very COM
fortably CHARTERED, and it has been a
source of satisfaction TO faculty and
outsiders alike that the students have
all Loyalty returned to their work with
punctuality and cheerfulness which
could not be excelled were they re-
turning TO the most magnificently
equipped building in the country.
With headquarters in the beautiful
Assem- bly, room in the New church and
recitation rooms in the same block
with the assembly room no discom fort
of a serious nature will be experienced
no matter how inclement the weather
may be.
The work is carried forward in
various places follows: In the NJ. Z
church, are President Parker's
Psychology class, Mr.. Brier's classes in
Literature and Reading, Mr. Sims
classes in Geography, Grammar and
Civics, and Miss Smiths recitations
in History and Penmanship. Here
also is the library and Presidents
desk.
In Odd Fellows Hall will be found
Mr.. Ewing and Miss Hatherell in
Natural Science, Mrs. Thatcher in
Music and Mrs Treusdell's classes in
Physical Training.
In Masonic Hall Miss Pardee and
Miss Gilfillan are comfortably located,
the former having the drawing. the
latter the Latin and German classes.
In the commodious Baptist church
Mr.. Clark has all his classes in Mathe-
MATES, Miss Shultes her professional
work, Miss Caldwell the Rhetoric and
General History and Miss Hayes the
Preparatory room. In the old
Methodist church adjacent are the
intermediate and Grammar Grades,
the former taught by Miss Leny the
latter by Miss Fleming.
All of these are within distance of
few rods of the assembly room. The
Primary and kindergarten in charge
of Misses Laura and Lucy Peckham
are in the Congregational church
two blocks away. AltOge ther the
adjustment is much more favorable
than could be expected The last
generation would have thought the
accommodation elegant to a degree
approaching extravaganza.
