The Lannnese Mnman.

The chief duty of a Japanese woman
all her life is obedience; while unmar-
ried, to her parents; when married, to
her husband and his parents; when
widowed, to her son. In the Greater
Learning of Women" we read:
"A woman should look upon her
husband as If he were Heaven itself,
and thus escape celestial punishment
THE five worst maladies that affiict
the female mind are: Indocility, dis
content. SANDER, jealousy and silli-
ness. Without any doubt these five
maladies affiict seven or eight out OF
every ten women, and from them
arises the inferiority of women to men.
A woman should cure them by self-in-
spection and self-reproach. The worst
of them all, and the parent of the 9TH
er four, is silliness!"
The above extract shows us very
clearly the position which women have.
until quite recently, taken in Japan.
AS German writer says, her condition
is the intermediate link between the
European and the Asiatic On the one
hand, Japanese women are subjected
to no seclusion, and are as carefully
educated as the men, and take their
place in society; but, on the other
hand, they have absolutely no indie
pendence, and are in complete subjec-
ton to their husbands, sons and other
relations. They are without legal
rights, and under no circumstances
can wife obtain a divorce or separa-
ton from her husband, however great
his offense. Notwithstanding this, in
no country does one find a higher stan
dard Of morality than among the mar
ried women of Japan. Faithlessness Is
practically unknown, although the
poor little wives must often have much
to put up with from their autocratic
lords and masters. They bear all, how
ever, silently and uncomplainingly,
their characteristic pride and reserve
forbidding them to show to the outer
world what they suffer. We Europeans
might well in many respects initiate,
and have still much to learn from our
little cousins in the Far East.--Corn-
hill Magazine.

One Way of Getting Money without

"There are more ways of making

some luck with his pick and shovel
"For instance, | knew man OF means

just what to do with 1t to get his
money back until he had devoted con.

pie enough when no knew how.
He quietly went to the gold COM
missioner and announced that he wish
ed to pay his 10 per cent royalty ON the
product Of his claim for year, which
was $4,000. Tho commissioner ac-
cepted the $4,000 royalty and gave him
the usual receipt, stating on It's face
what 1t was for. with the number Of
the claim, location, etc.
"Then he waited patiently about

others, what he had to SELL and the

showed the Englishman his receipt

best men are isolated beyond the measure which
may be observed elsewhere. An apt illustra-
ton is offered by Ettore Tito, the Venetian
artist He has five pictures in the Italian
ton, and they form an unique group. The name
of his master is not given in the catalogue. Per-
haps he derived some inspiration from Morelli,
the most distinguished painter of Southern
Italy. But what impresses one most about this
admirable artist is his absolute originality. For
a moment it seems almost incredible that he
should be an Italian Where did he get the
superb design, the living air, the lovely color,
Of Sur la lagune," with it's truth and charm?
These are the last qualities for which one looks
in Italian art Each of his other works re-
news the surprise In ''Vecchia Peschiera" he
portrays a crowd of peasants in picturesque
garb, chaffering at the fish market. The canvas
is brave with many colors, but where the typi
cal italian of the time would have made them
garish and brittle, Tito handles them with per-
feet taste. hum of vOlubility seems to ema-
nate from the busy marketers, but as work OF
art this picture has the repose which comes
from complete authority. In La Procession"

places on the canvas, and the rich tints en-

lie Lac" which shows a little girl herding her
goats along the pebbly shores Of cleaning body
of water above which the Alps ascend, the de-
tails are perhaps a shade too closely analysed
but the general effect is still very beautiful Tito
has style; he has the freshness and power which
would cause him to be singled out from the
crowd anywhere in Europe. But at home in
Italy he is an almost startling phenomenon
So also is Giovanni Boldini who sends several
portraits ana small sketches to the Italian sec
ton. This artist has for many years lived in
Paris. He retains his birthright-one divines
the Italian beneath his art-yet that art like
1ito's is of sort rarely encountered in the
peninsula nowadays. 1t is distinguished by the
vivacity which associate with the South,
glitter with which many Italians false fol-
lowers of Fortuny are content, and in the
brilliant technique one feels at once the nervous
force ana the disciplined skill which arise usual

and Halls. They neglect the example of

without demanding any sacrifice of modern
ideas In Spain there is the same sad negatiOn
of historic traditions. The living artists there

The rejection Of ancient ideals does not neces-

would alone serve to prove the contrary in
