JAPANESE ARISTOCRACY,
Give Up Their Powers to Strengthen
a Central Government.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

tClnclnnatl EnQulrer-)
Undoubtedly the most powerful and
at the same time exclusive aristocracy
was that of the Daimos. or territorial
lords of Japan prior to the great social
revolution of 1868. There were fewer
than 800 of these great lords. Their
power within their own provinces was
almost absolute, and they owed merely
a nominal allegiance to the sovereign.
Yet in 1869 PAL out of less than SOC
Daimos voluntarily surrendered their
powers and their possessions into the
hands of the emperor. in order that Il
centralized government might conduct
the affairs of the empire in a manner
more in accordance with those western
ideas which the nation was then MAX

surrender the phenomenal progress of
Japan as a world power undoubtedly

FASHIONABLE BEES
AND THEIR HONEY

Honey and it must be of the newest
and most delectable flavor, is claiming
just now an unusual amount of atten-
ton at the fashionable breakfast ia
bic. In fact, its place there is becoming
quite as undisputed as that of wines
at dinner parties. Men of wealth and
leisure are assiduously testing and ex-
perimenting with the different brands
of honey, and wrinkling their brows
over the problem of producing what
seems to them the most desirable flavor
during the coming summer.
For the bee is no longer allowed to
pursue his own sweet perigrinations
and sip of the nectar of flowers wher-
ever he chooses. Honey made in this
promiscuous way is much too ordinary
and bohemian. His actions are re-
stricted and guided by these men of
cultivation who quite enjoy thinking
out the busy bees little difficulties for
him. As a result, such honey as never
was tasted before is tickling the pal
ates of many
If it is the white sweet clover flavor
that has gained favor with the epicure,
he goes Systematically to work to pro-
duce it, and plants at his country
place large plot of ground, perhaps
half an acre. with this particular kind
of clover. He has it carefully kept
from weeds, or any other variety of
clover that might endeavor to find a
footing there. The whole bed is en-
closed and rooted with fine wire net
ting. and the beehives are then placed
within the enclosure. From the bees
life, therefore, the spice of variety is
plucked, and, try as he will, poor fell
low, he can produce none other than
white sweet clover honey. In flavor
it is very delicate, and almost white
in color.
Yellow sweet clover honey is pre-
ferred by others. The flavor is slight
~ stronger than that made from the
white variety, and its color is a deep
yellow.
Then there is the honey that is made
from such flowers as thistles and milk
weeds; it is most amusing TO hear pro-
ducers of such flavors tell of their
fluctuations in making these hayward
plants grow within their restriction.
Some of the wild flower honey is al
most black in color. and the flavor is
certainly very different from what it
was in the days when honey was honey
and that fact settled the question. 1t
is almost verging on the indiscreet to
mention buckwheat honey nowadays.
although il is still acknowledged to
have wonderful staying properties"

THREE FASHIONABLE DOGS.
May Drive All Other Breeds of Dogs
Out of the Fashionable Market.

For the ladies' trade exclusively,
breeders now turn out remarkable dog
deformities, on search the world over
for natural freaks, since it is for rarity
and popularity, not beauty or lntelll-
gence in these pet animals that the
highest prices are paid. The pet bull
dogs, for example. are now bred with
legs as handy as those of dachshounds,
for it is the fashion to own bull pup
pies that have abnormally wide should
ers and exaggerated lowness in front
To gain this result the unfortunate ami
NAL is confined during the period of his
most rapid growth in such small
space that his body is actually forced
down and out and the tender bones of
the forelegs bent. The fancy dachs-
hounds undergo similar severe training
in many instances and thus the modern
love of curiosities is satisfied.
The two most interesting and eXpen-
sive breeds of dogs now in the canine
market are not. however, in either case
the result of this cruel science. but are
strange, beautiful creatures of natural
growth The little South American Chi
huahua, who is no bigger than a toy
spaniel with lovely eyes and ears dell
cately and beautifully feathered, comes
just so from his native wild Ihere are
but two of the species in this country,
and those two are more tenderly looked
after than infirm infants. A Chihuahua
that is a perfect specimen is hard 10
find. hard to import and doubly hard to
keep alive when once fairly in his own
er's hands. He costs near $1,000, when
set down in the satin-lined basket of his
new-found mistress, and then any
weakness of his lungs or his digestion
is apt to bring him promptly to the
grave.
Not quite so costly, but almost as
rare. is the Mexican crested dog,
beautiful dark, short-haired creature,
with a tuft of white lock between his
ears quite like lady's down powder
puff. He, too, has no stamina to bear
our colder climate, while the Pekinese
spaniel, a downy black thing with a
face as amiable and large=eyed as
cocker, threatens to put all others OF
the spaniel bred of dogs out of private
houses. He is one of the dogs that en-
joys a fine constitution and big price
is paid for a perfectly-bred specimen,
one mark of his good blood showing in
a tail that curls directly over his back
and is feathered with long, black, silky
locks, that his doting mistress does not
think it too much trouble to wave and
curl every morning with her own curl
ing tongs.

The eueerest Pearl Ever Found.

A unique and beautiful gift was pre-
scented to Louis XIV of France by a
Genoaese, Gianetino Semeria. 1t was a
pearl weighing 100 grains, and had been
brought from the Indies by one of this
gentleman's relatives. But the most
striking part of the matter was not its
weight, but its form. 1t was the exact
shape of the torso of a man from the
neck to the knees. Semeria had the
pearl mounted in so artistic a manner
that it was the wonder of the French
court. The pearl was utilized for the
body of an armed warrior. The heao

a woman dances, or even emphatically
mods her head. to shake free from their
hold, and in consequence there are
amazingly few earrings made up of
genuine gems. There is no loss in bril-
nancy or beauty, because the mock
pearls, diamonds and rubies are en-
ployed, and though older women have
TO an important extent reassumed their
pearl ear studs, the youthful generation
have adopted, in all good taste, the
conceit of the Neapolitan ear hoop A
thread of gold, strung with five small
tinted pearls. is the choice oftenest
made. and girls who fully and softly

tress droop over the ear tops, get very
interesting effects with their pearl cir

This whim for earrings has had a
decided effect upon the dress loving
sex. Women have suddenly discovered
that small and delicately shaped as
their ears may be, one essential ele-
ment of beauty is missing when these
useful features lack color. \ woman
with pale ears can be safely set down
as one whose heart is hard to reach,
while she whose ears are sweetly pink,
along the curled rims and downy lobes,
is creature of sympathetic and re-
sponsiVe temperament. More impor-
family still, a well-colored ear is as be-
coming as a rosy cheek. and in con-
sequence many scrupulous girl, who
would scorn TO even dust her cheek
with powder, thinks it no evil to deli
cately rouge her ears till they glow
with a color as tender as that in ounce
