increased intercourses with foreigners
tending to accustom them to this
Western familiarity. Upon train
leaving Toxic for Nikko 1 saw an in
teresting example of this new custom;
a japanese gentleman, remarkably tall
and distinguished in appearance, en-
tered the carriage with his charming
wife. She wore kimona of delicate
dove color with an inner fold of crepe
at the throat
One wonders how they travel about
in such attire, to which no speck of
dust even semes to attach itself. Upon
her feet were the customary tabi and
geta, but, alas! her hair was arranged
in European style. On the seat oppo-
site were two high officials-military
or naval officers, and acquaintance
of the husband, marvels of military
tailoring and glittering with gold lace.
They were Immediately presented to
Madame and rose and bowed profound
ly,one hand pressed against the breast
formal salutation which the lady re-
turned with an obeisance of equal grace
and Difference. Then, while the trio
engaged in animated conversation, in
which the lady was quite at ease and
fully held her own, the husband read
his Japanese newspaper. However,
blood will tell, and presently Madame
produced her little briar pipe and en-
broidered tobacco pouch. filed and
lighted the pipe, taking a few gentle
whiffs, repeating the operation sew
eral times. 1t was the original "old
Japan" that had survived under many
strata of western cultivation.
Although the occupation open to wo-

are now employed as teachers and gov

Empress, their amusements were con-
fined to changes of toilette walking in
their own secluded gardens, enjoying
the flowers and such musical enter
tainments as were pssmitted them.
In February, 1899, when the constitu-
ton was promulgated, which was an
immense step forward, the Emperor
signalized the new departure by ap-
pearing-for the first time in the his
tory OF the empire-in public with his
wife. The occasion was one of great
general rejoicing. as the imperial hus-
band rode in procession through the
streets of Toxic with the Empress
seated beside him in the state carriage
From that time the Empress has held
official receptions at the palace, and
has taken the greatest interest in pub
ic affairs, especially in the schools,
hospitals and other philanthropic in
stitutions that were subsequently
founded. She was instrumental in os-
tablishing the school for peeresses,
where, in addition to Western sciences,
language and literature the young
daughters are instructed in the best
Japanese literature. She presided at
the formal opening of the school and
made an address, while she frequently
awards the prizes in person. She also
visits the hospitals, and at her sugges-
lions the first professional women
nurses were sent to London to be train
ed. The training of Japanese girls of
the higher classes includes the art of
painting, of writing poetry, of making
and serving the ceremonious tea,
which is far removed from the or
binary function, with special in
struction in needlework and the
artistic arrangement of flowers. The
teachers of these accomplishments are
usually women of high birth, in re-
duced circumstances.
The ever-present dread of the Japan
ese wife, formerly, was the fear of d.
vorce. No woman could divorce her
husband. but there were innumerable
trifiing grounds upon which a hus band
could send the wife back to her fam

1t is well known that clay baked in
brick furnace is magnetized along an
axis which corresponds to the axis of
the terrestrial magnetic field at the
moment Of baking, and 1t is note
worthy that the magnetization is very
permanent. On these facts Mr.. Fol-
ghereiter has founded a method Of
studying the Inclination of the mag
netic needle in antiquity. He deter
mines the direction of the magnetic
axis of pottery of Etruscan and Ro-
man times. The declination OF the
needle cannot be determined in this
way on account OF the impossibility OF
knowing exactly how the vases stood
in the baking ovens; we know that
they stood vertically, but no one can
say which side was to the front IL
is quite possible that this method may
be extended TO determinations refer
ring to geologic epochs by observing
the direction of magnetization OF clay
strata that have been transformed into
brick by flows OF hot lava. The latter
question is now being studied in the

the wife to sue for divorce upon GER

Indulgence shown her lord and master
| in the exercise of what was his ex-
! elusive prerogatiye. This has Seen &C
complished partially no doubt, by the
increasing influence of the educated
women of Japan, who have learned to
formulate their opinions-one of the
results of education the world over.
In no country are children SO much
desired and treated with sucn affsc-
tion-a gentleness that never spoils
them. Sons are preferred, in the desire
to perpetauate the family name. but
the daughter is scarcely less welcome.
Her prospective marriage, however al
most from the hour of her birth. is a
source of anxiety. Upon that event she
enters her husbands family, ceasing,
practically to belong to that of her
parents, and her fate rests largely in
