The marvellous development and ad-
vancement of Japan within the last quar-
ter century has been marked by most
radical changes in the treatment and So
cial status of woman. The opponents of
woman suffrage in this country viii find
Japan a fruitful field for their missionary
labor. for in no part of the world is wo-
man today making more rapid advance
ment toward equality of the sexes.
Visitors to Japan comparatively few
years ago found the gentlewOman of the
island empire popularity regarded as mere
toys willing to be sold into virtual slay-
cry for about Sc a month No stigma at
tached to this custom, and the daughter
sold into slavery for the support of her
parents often returned afterward to her
grade of society and contracted an hon.
orable marriage. At that time Japanese
women of the higher grade led gay and
easy lives but they, 200, were taught
that womans chief jewel was ignorance,
and a writer in the Criterion has fittingly
described them as mere glorited toys"
The magician's wand which is rapidly
transferring half-savage semi-barbaric
race into one of the most enlightened ma
tions of the earth is also elevating the
status of japanese womanhood. No bet
ter evidence of that fact is needed than
is shown by the announcement that a
university for the higher education of
women is shortly to be opened in Toxic.
This institution, which will cost 100000,
has the enthusiastic Endorsement of the
| nobility and the heads of government,
| from the emperor and empress down to
the petty officials of state. That Japa-
nese sunrise seems destined to usher in
| a perfect day.

Marriage Chances.

1t is encouraging to learn that the ex-
cess of spinsters is only 20 to every / 900
bachelors. But to offset this is the dis
quoting fact that there are 290 widows
to every 100 widowers, which, the sta
tistician admits, docs tend to work
against the interest of spinsters who wish
to marry" The spinster of from 10 to 81
is more apt to marry a bachelor than a
widower: at ages 81 to A her chance of
bachelors is still better than with widow
ers. but after 45 she has to take widow
er or remain single, and even then her
offers are not as numerous as those of
the widow. The best time for a widow
who wishes TO wed a bachelor is from Is
to 81; after "a she has a better chance
to marry a widower. The chances of
spinsters over 30 marrying are very slim
compared with those of widows Of the
same age. For instance, between the
ages of "a and ~ fifty-four spinsters mar
ny. while fifty-five widows marry. The
difference here is hardly noticeable, but
IL increases with every year. Between
the ages of 45 and s. there are seventy
eight widows and seventy-three spinsters
married; between So and 65 ninety widows
marry and only seventy-eight spinsters
wed.

Both are too Intelligent to make such an

HOW MOTHERS
RULE, CHILDREN
1t Depends Much Upon Their
Own Youthful Careers.
Matrons Who Were UnruIy. Branches
of the Family Tree Should Count
Three Before Gliding.

A mother unruly herself in childhood
unframed in youth and without self
control in maturer life governs her
children in a fitful and unreasonable
manner, and wonders that they "dc
not mind" that they evade her COM
mands and do not respect her decis-
ions. Children are keen-sighted de-
clares a writer in Trained Motherhood
and their intuitions seldom mislead
them; they know that the mother can
be ''teased" into compliance, that her
will is the winds will" that she soon
wearies of their Importantly and that
her rash decisions are soon reversed.
So the first element in securing obedI-
ence would seem to be self-contrOl on
the part of the mother, and this is OF
such paramount Importance that
should this article end here it would
have suggested enough.

The Kentucky Christening.


(From the Brooklyn Eagle)
The battIeship Kentucky was deluged
with more whisky than water simply
because of the effort to condne the de-
luging to water Had not the boast
been made that nothing but water
would be used the indignant kentuck-
ians who attended the launching armed
with TASKS of whisky would probably
have remained at home and would
have not deemed it necessary to waste
so much good raw material. As an af-
front to the State, however, they re-
earded the idea that q bottle of water
should be cracked over the bow OF the
vessel even though it did come from
the old jeff Davis homestead. All of
which goes to show that prohibition
does not always prohibit. 1t not in
frequently happens that there is more
drunkenness in towns where the sale
cf LIQUOR is forbidden than in those
where it can be easily obtained. The

roniZes a public bar. We are not APP

drinking of it. Neither are we con-
demnng either practice. 1t may be
remarked. however, that there will be
no great public regret because the
Kentucky was deluged with the ardent
fluid. Miss Bradley might have split
the difference between water and
whisky and deluged it with beer. 1t
happens, however, that the German
vote in Kentucky is not very large or
