FROM CHRYSANTHEMUM LAND.
| Pretty Japanese Maiden Is Studying
Trained Nursing in America.

Trained Nursing In America.
Among the women in Minneapolis who
are devoting their lives to ministerng
to the sick and suffering is young Jap
anese woman who came from the far
away land of chrysanthemums and cher
ry blossoms about eight years ago Miss
Yone F. Major is well known to the med
ical fraternity of Minneapolis and she has
had many patients who have reason to re-
member her deft. womanly ways and her
skilful nursing with deepest gratitude.
Miss Majors father was an English
man and her mother japanese woman.
She is more like her father than her
mother and few would recognize the fact
that she has Japanese blood. Indeed, she
is more often taken for French wo-
man, and there IL something, in her vi
vacious manner that would impress
stranger with that idea
It is only within the last 10 years that
the japanese have realized that girls as
well = boys have brains which should be
cultivated. Prior to that time girl
could obtain instruction only in one of
the mission schools Now there are gov
eminent schools, much like our public
school, at which the girls may obtain the
limited education considered needful.
Miss Major entered the mission school
at Yokohama when she was little more
than a child. The school IS the oldest in
Japan and has more than 200 students. At
the time Miss Major was a pupil it was
under the direction of Miss Crosby, sis
ter of DIR. Crosby, the well-known New
York minister. The young Japanese girl
was an apt pupil and was graduated from
the institution at the age of 16
The years of busy mental effort had I'M
fitted her for the quiet uneVentful life of
the ordinary japanese women, and when
one of the teachers in the school suggest
ed that she come to America and study
nursing the suggestion opened a future
that looked very attractive.
With all the eloquence and perseverance
of young girl absorbed in a great work
she overcame the objections of her people
and sailed away from Japan to onter the
Northwestern hospital as a student in
the nurses training school. Everything
was so different even from the missionary
school that the young probationer had
rather a homesick time of 1t, but she
never waVered and received her diploma
with the class of 9S.
THE most difficult part Of the training
for me was the diet cooking" she said.
You know in Japan we never use butter
or milk and it was very hard for me 10
learn how to use them. l always wanted
to make the vegetable sauce, which Is
the Japanese substitute"
Since her graduation Miss Major has
been busy with general nursing in Min
neapolis with occasional calls to Green,
Iowa and Watertown, MINI. She is es-
pecially partial to fever cases and of all
feyers she enjoys contest with typhoid
the most. She is very successful in her
method of treatment, as any number OF
patients can testify.

WOES OF BACHELOR GIRLS.
Troubles aud Trials Which Beset New

Freedom to the new woman does not

disagreeable accessories. Even the
bachelor girl has trials of her own. IN

the winter it was impossible to take
bodies out, and Mrs. Jim arranged
cold corner in their cabin, where she
had the waiting boxes piled up, with a
portiere drawn over them to make them
more ornamental, and there they re-
manned until spring.
Grave digging was hard work in the
winter and it required two or three
days of thawing and digging to, get
a grave sufficiently deep for its pur-
pose. A little incident will show what
kind of business woman Mrs. Jim
was when it was necessary. One Win
ter night word came to Jim's cabin
to come six or seven miles over the
mountains to look after a man who
had died Jim was not at home, but
Mrs. jim was, and without word she
htched her little dog to his sled, took
her lantern and started over the snow
and the mountain. entirely alone in the
darkness of an Arctic win er. She ar
rived at the place without mishap and
the live man waiting with the dead one
for Jim thought it was a ghost when
he saw Jims wife at his cabin door.
He offered to do anything he could for
her, but she said there was nothing he
could do except to help her put the
load on her sled, and back she came to
her home, leading the way with her
lantern for the dog and the dead man
to follow.
when the spring time came again,
Mrs. Jim went down to Seattle, where
she laid in full supply of funeral fix
ings, except collins, which are all home
made, and she and Jim have a first
class place and have made a COM

The only desire which Mrs. Cabel had
when she received her commission was
to be able to certify to oaths taken in
as matter of course. Her first eX-
perience in marrying couples was in
the line of a favor to mutual friends.
She told the bride to be that if she
would come to the Gable residnce in
East Lowell the ceremony would be
performed without cost. The offer was
accepted. One very cold night in De
cember, 1896 the bride and groom drove
80 miles to get married by Mrs. Cabel
They took a wedding supper at the
house, stayed over night and rode away
home after breakfast. This was the
first wedding ceremony ever performed
by a woman justice of the peace in
Maine. Mrs Cabel has married five
couples. Her regular fee is So. When
asked if she kissed the bride or the

a stroke of paralysis, which rendered
his right side helpless. About this time
Mrs. Cabel, feeling the need of more
outdoor air, began to run an express

attached to the cart, which made daily
trips to Midway and return.
For the past three years Mrs. Ca
bel has ridden more than 5000 miles

faced storms and cold weather of such
intensity that they would dishearten
most men. She has been upset and
had her carriage break down many
times. On one occasion when she ana

They were some miles away from the
nearest house. the road was a foot deep
in wet sloppy snow and there was not
an article in the heavy load that could
be used as a splice to hold the broken
runners together In this dilemma.
Mrs. Cabel covered her feeble husband
with warm robes. took some harness

type of modern heroine is the CHEEKY

silence, or laughs about Them and is

be confessed that this type of young
lady would be considerably more to

W0m@In and Their Ways

Mrs. Louisa J. Cabel. a widow of
East Lowell, Me, not only holds the
commission of justice of the peace Civ
en- her by the governor of the state,
but she is also the only woman in the
state who has owned and personally
conducted an express route through
the northern wilds
The taking up of these callings wan
the result of her environment rather
than from any choice on her own part.
The needs of the day and the hour
compelled her to go outside the usual
sphere of WOmans activity Having
undertaken the task for the good Of
those who were dear to her, she be-
came the vassal of duty and never re-
linquished her self-imposed tasks until
last May, when her husband died, and
she turned over her express business
to other hands, though she still retains
financial interest in the undertaking
and is virtually its manager
Mrs. Cabei is a modest, bright eyed
little woman with intellectual and NOR
al powers enough to remove mountains,
though the scales certify that she
lacks five pounds of hundredweight
The story of her life as she tells it IS
quaint and curious one.
She was teaching school in one of the
sparsely settled and densely wooded
districts of northern Penobscot county
when she first made the acquaintance
of her husband.
Some hunters had caught a live bear
in the woods and had chained it up in
building near the school house to
await shipment to Bangor. The young
school ma'am wanted to see that par
ticular bear and believed that her pu-
pills had a similar desire. Therefore
she dismissed the school and took the
youngsters along to have a look at
bruin.
She found a large number of people
at the reception which the bear was
holding, among them a Mr.. Cabel. to
whom she received an Introduction.
After seeing and speaking to each 9TH
er. the bear had no further interest
for them. They loved, Courted and
were married the way men and women
have loved, courted and married since
the world began to turn around. Then
they settled down on a big farm in
East LoWell-'The land of Jack Oar
ling''-and began to think about get
ting a living.
At that time Mr.. Cabel was the guar
dian of three minor children, the off

who had lately died. Under the laws

We're entitled to pensions.
So. Mr.. Cabel set about to get what

deal of evidence and to travel far and
wide to find his witnesses. Justices of
the peace before whom all pension atfi-
daVits must be certified are very rare
in the woods of northern Maine. As
ii was expensive to hire one by the
day and take him along when hunting
down evidence Mrs. Cahel applied for
and received commission, after which
Mr. Cabel didn't in the least object to
the expense of travelling with a justice

W0MAN'S TEARS, IDLE TEARS.
Modern Goddess Is No Longer a Weep-
ing Niobe.


What has become of woman's tears
idle tears? A cynical old bachelor
lately remarked in the hearing Of wo-
man that he wondered Is hat had be-
come of all the crying members of her
sex. He said that he had not seen a
woman cry in some years, and that so
far as he could see, there are just as
many things to cry over as there ever
were, and just as many women. He
did not object to the absence of tears;
he only wondered about it.
This thing has received attentions of
various kinds before now. 1t was first
noticed in the novels. The young wo-
man in modern fiction does not do
nearly so much weeping as she used to
do. To be sure, she has not always so
much excuse for it. When a young
lady was carried away by a fierce and
determined lover whom she did not
want, and told that unless she married
him at once her family and all her i'm
mediate friends would be killed, there
was really a considerable excuse for
tears and swoonS on her part This
type of heroine flourished in the begin
ming of the present century. She was
followed by the heroine, who cries a. !
child does. to get something she 'anted
and usually got it. if it happened
not to be the moon or anything equally
unattainable.
Sometimes she was a young lady or
religious predictions and shed tears
over the sorrows Of others, or over her
own religious sentiments 1t has been
estimated by careful statisticians that
Miss Ellen Montgomery, heroine of
The Wide, Wide World" must have
shed at least five gallons, two quarts
and one pint of tears in the course Of
her adventures in two volumes. But the
young lady in the modern work of fic-
ton does not cry. If she is of a pas
sionate nature she now and then
bursts into a storm of sobs," but she
does not often do it, as old fashioned
would say, before folks" She is more

from the South African war, has made
scarcity in white paper that threatens

country. Some of the London journals
are now using twice as much paper as
they were before the war. despite the
scarcity and careful censoring OF the war
