THE FAMILY IN JAPAN.
Fiiial Piety and the Longing For Immor-
tally IT'S Guiding Stars.


In q recent lecture Professor Kakichi
Mft@sauri of the University OF Tokyo gave
description of the social life in bis native
Country, which differs materially from
any ether accounts. "The social unit In
.Japrn. he said, sis the family each fam
lily having its officially registered head,
FREQ uently the wife. Occupations In all
classes as rule are handed down from
generation to generation and 1t is mat
ter of family pride that that occupation
doos not deteriorate. The works of an
aes.ors are kept constantly before the fam
DIV "A sacred models, and the result is the
iaimitable beauty of Japanese productions.
Another interesting custom arising out oil
the treatment of the family as the social
unit ID seer i'm the fact that the head OF the
family alwayshas the same name ana that
ma each person succeeds TO the dignity nc
changes his Youthful name TO the family
name.
T-heugh this custom still survives in the
country districts 'thoro is no stagnation or
seoial and industrial types, it being now
Within the power of the humblest TO rise 10
the highest Office in the state by merit
alone. The first known ancestor Is regard
odd rs the founder of the family; the names
of ancestors are kept on tablets In the mos'
sacred plaoe Of the house, while the ami
yersaries Of the deaths Of ancestors are ob
served with more or less of religious oere'
mony. Women are held in commendabie
resp,ot, while children are treated with
defeponee; they represent the future gener
atoms. There is q strong desire IN ths
mind Of the father that the memory OF
those who have gone before should be kept
oraen: hence the idea of the family as thu
social unit is kept up by two factors---hlia
nictv and the longing for Immortality.

Mrs. Mary F. Googins, who died at the
home of her son, Frank r. McGown, in
this city Dec. "a, was well and favorably
known, loved and respected by a large
circle of friends. Her maiden name was
Mary F. Wharton. She was born at
w iscasset March 3, 1910, and had there
fore reached the advanced age of eighty
seven years and nine months.
In February, 1884, she married Ruel Nc
Gown, who was one of the first to leave
Ellsworth for the gold mines in Cali
fornia. He died at Aspinwali, Isthmus of
Panama, Oct. 10, 1852. From this mar
riage were born six children, five of
whom are living, viz: Mrs. Harriet G.
Damon, Mrs. Louisa NJ. Rsmsdell, Mrs.
Nancy G. Hanson, of Lynn, Mass. Mrs.
Susan G. Franks, of Brooksville, and
Frank r McGown.
In 1855 she married William Googins, of
La IN oine, who survives her. For the past
fifteen years Mr.. and Mrs. Googins have
made their home with her son, Frank
K. McGown, frequently visiting her chill
dren who live in Massac husetts, where
she had a large circle of friends.
Mrs. Googins was OF a genial, and cheer
full disposition. Her tastes were de-
cidedly domestic; she loved her home,
and every one was welcome to her fire
side. She WIS great favorite with all
the young people, and was always ready
t o assist them i'll all good works. Her ac-
quaintance extended into the adjoining
towns.
She was a member OF the Methodist
church of Wiscasset but had never
transferred her mem bersh to any of the
churches in this city. Her death at this
season of the year has cast gloom over
many a household. All OF her children
were present at the funeral, which was
held at the North Ellsworth church Sun
day afternoon, Dec. 26. Nearly all the
residents OF that part of the city assem-
bied to show their respect for AUNT
Mary, as she was famliarly knownand
called by those who knew her intimately.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
IT IS EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neglects
to sharpen his tools. People are not apt
to get anxious about their health soon
enough. If you are mot quite well'' or
"half sick" have you ever thought that
your kidneys may be the cause of your
sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty-four hours; sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
ton of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply,
pain or dull ache in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der are out of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy, DIR. Kiimer's Swamp Root,
fulfills every wish in relieving weak or
diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder
and urinary troubles. Not only does
Swamp-R Root give new life and activity to
the kidneys--the cause of trouble, but by
treating the kidneys it acts as tonic for
the entire constitution. If you need a
medicine take Swamp Root cures.
Sold by druggists, fifty cents and
one dollar, or by sending your address
and the name of this paper to DR.. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you may have
sample bottle of this great discovery
sent to you free by mail.

| visitors are excellent. Steam, sail and
row boats can always be obtained, and
beautiful building sites can be procured
| OF land owners about the lake for reason
able sums. Already several good cot
tages have been built, and others are GO
ing up each season.
But half hour from Ellsworth or Ban
gor, and less than nine hours from Bos-
ton, in few years this lovely water gem
of Maine is destined to become one of the
best known and most frequented resorts
Of the whole State. Deer, grouse and
woodcock abound III the covers about the
lake, while the proximity to the famous
duck meadows of Union river, which are
less than mile away yet nearly a hun
ured feet below it), makes the black duck
wood duck and teal shooting excellent in
its season.
Each year more and more deyotees OF
the rod and gun are To be found. Each
year the click OF the reel and the crack OF
the rife are bringing more pleasure to
many of both sexes. And is it any wonder
that this is SO?
Who has not felt hat the time that
has been used i'll landing the lordly land
locked salmon has been crowded with the
most pleasure of any similar length OF
time that one has ever experienced, and
now many times in after weeks, months
and years do we live over tine thrill Of the
rod and I he buzz of the reel from sucn
an experience.
We can see in our minds eye the bead
ing bamboo or iancewood with sit $
| al dor Eli iIpif diE4-
string, realizing that at the end of that
line hangs fish that is worthy of tny-
ones power to capture. All at once the
line -lacken-; aud many yards distant
we see the waters part and with wonder
ful force the noble fish throws himself
many feet clear OF his native element in
his frantic endeavors to free himself
| from The terrible trap to which he is
| fastened.
| lntuitlVeiy we measure and weig him
| in our minds eye As he struggles in mid
| air and then drops back into the spark
| ling waters again, and we lnstinctively
| brace ourselves for renewal OF the con
| test. Aud at last after a longer or shorter
| ity OF our antagonist, we are the master
and as we stroke the cleaning sides and
watch the shimmering light play over
| that delicate skin we feel that hereditary
savage feeling of conquering power
touched frequently, must confess, with
a tender feeling OF remorse that such
beautiful flesh should have had to feel
| the cruel gaff.
