tive feature has been worked out with
taste and charming effect. There are
interesting and well-executed pictures
throughout, giving the reader COM

classification have been made with
much care and fine iud gment.

tages and various features in the past,
with sketch of its present condition
and a glance into its great and glorious
prospects. The advantages of it's soil,
climatic, social. religious and educar
tlonal facilities are clearly set forth
and some comparisons made as to it's

| cial strength with that of o:uer coun-
tries. While its minerals, timber. land
and water transportation, and other
strong points which appeal to the
! capitalist and laborer alike are set

Ih. writer carries one through all
the Southern states, setting forth the
many advantages of these states and
the various points of interest in them.
1t is all illustrated so nicely that one
wonders how clearly the many attrac-
tions of the great Southland through
which the Southern railway traverses
are set forth to him who would inform
himself about the country abounding
in possibilities. Copies of the work

Lost His Leg

J. Fl. Edwards, a young farmer of
Dousman, had one of his legs crushed
Thursday evening under the wheels of
the passenger train which arrives here
from Chicago at $50 o'clock over the
Northwestern road. The unfortunate
man and his brother were taking a
free ride from Jefferson Junction to
this city, and when the train stopped at
the West street crossing they alighted,
thinking the depot had been reached
When their mistake was discovered
they attempted to again board the
train while it was in motion, but Ed
wards missed his footing and was
thrown under the train, the wheels
passing over his leg. He was taken
to the Junction hotel and medical aid
summoned. 1t was found necessary
to amputate the injured member above
the knee. The brothers were on their
way to Columbus on business. They
had considerable money with them.

A City Without Soap.

Miss Kate V. Johnson, of Madison,
Ind, who has lived in Japan for thir-
teen years, talks in an interesting way
of the little people of that country,
who live without chairs, bedsteads,
knives, forks, spoons or soap; OF the
women who paint their teeth black
and shave their eyebrows to Indicate
loyalty to their husbands; of the car
penters who make long beautiful shaw
ings by drawing their planes towards
them and who place the back door
at the front of the house; and of their
books in which the preface is placed
at the end of the book and foot notes
at the head of the page.
Miss johnson first went to Akita,
city of 60, 900 persons, and found it a
city without soap. Naoye Saito, a
young japanese girl who came to live
in her house, had never had soap
bath in her life. She kicked and
screamed when her first bath was
given her and said they were trying
to kill her. A cake of Ivory soap was
sent Naoye Satio's father with instruc-
tions to use it on his person. He
came back the next day and asked for
another cake, saying he had used it
all up.
Before Miss Johnson left Japan last
summer she took Naoye Saito, who
had been with her for ten years, back
to her native province and left her to
earn her own living. While still in
Toxic, a few days before sailing for
America, Miss johnson received a
letter from Naoye in which she said:
81 forgot one thing very necessary to
our comfort in this place. viii you
please go to the grocery store and buy
me a dozen cakes OF Ivory soap and
send them to me at oncep" She sent
money order to pay for it, and the soap
was sent.
