JAPAN IN WINTER.
Colder In Houses of the Rich Man
Than In Open Sunshine.

Colder In Houses of the Rich Man
Than In Open Sunshine.
81 suppose that the American people
and the Russians are the only western
races that really keep warm in winter.
Still those who dwell in other countries
admit tina; they have the same ideal by
their inefi :ient effort to attain to it,"
writes Anna n. Benjamin in Ainslee's.
THE japanese winter is most trying on
account of its continual dampness, but
the Japanese are content to remain
cold. They make almost no effort to
overcome it. The old 'bushido' (chival-
rous) idea of the 'samurai' O1nightsl
was that it was effeminate to feel cold,
and such is their severe training that
they do not really feel it as we do. The
wearing of some extra 'kimonos' and
the use of a 'hibachi,' or brazier, in
which are a few tiny sticks of lighted
charcoal. are the only concessions to
winter weather. With the 'hibachi'
they never pretend to heat more than
their finger tips, which they hold over
the Goals. 1t is used when the bouse is
entirely open.
THE houses, as every one knows, are
built of thin, light wood, and the slid
ing panels which serve for doors and
windows have paper panes. They are
as apt to be open as closed during the
day. When l took my first jinrikisha
ride through the streets of NagasalSi, l
forgot my own sufferings in my SYM
pathy for this unhappy nation, which
as surely rs the cold came endured such
misery from it. The coolies wear thin
blue cotton clothes and are always pad
ding through the mud. The storekeep-
ers sit out in their open booths, and the
women go hareheaded about the streets.
In the houses of the rich the still cold
behind the closed panels is often more
intense than that outside in the sun
shine, where the air is stirring. The
schools and public buildings are equal
ly frigid.
at seemed to me that the only warm
things in Japan were the babies, who
looked like bundles of gayly coIored
Grape, their round heads covered by
knit caps. They slumber peacefully
tucked down their mothers backs. The
attempt to keep. warm in winter is not
entirely a modern Improvement though
it goes with western civilization. The
Koreans do it very thoroughly, the Chi
nese to a certain extent. The japanese
as race, continue to scorn it as they
always have done. and this is merely
one of hundred examples which prove
that the Japanese are still true to theil
traditions in their daily life and as yet
little affected in the ordering of theil
! homes by the ideas adopted from the
west"

A Bad Trade in the Klondike.

1.-THE other man said it was all a
gamble anyway, so he chose the right
hand claim in exchange for his own.
That was year ago. The two men

UNDERSTOOD SIGN LANGUAGE.

young women who were conversing
in sign language, my interest was at

girls, and as l settled in my seat l

animated conversation on certain
young man whose merits and dement's
they were frankly discussing, never
dreaming that any one else in the car
could understand them. Suddenly one
of them noticed that I was looking in

she said to the other girl:

The Umbrella as a Sign of Dignity

The Umbrella as a Sign of Dignity.
In Siam a magnate's dignity and

ST. VITUS DANCE
HOW ONE LITTLE SUFFERER WAS
PERMANENTLY CURED
Words of Gratitude and Praise from Par.
ents for the Remedy that Saved
the Life of Their Child
From the Traueler, Arkansas, city, Kan.


Rapid as has been the advance o:
medical science along many lines, it
is only in recent years that q rene
dy has been discovered for one of the
most dreadful of nervous diseases that
afflict children-St. Vitus' dance.
This and other nervous disorders
that cause the pale and wan faces and
peevish, irritable dispositions of so
many children can now be scienti-
ficalIy treated by a remedy that strikes
at the root of the disease by renewing
the impoverished blood and strength
ening the nerves.
Words of commentator for this
remedy come from all parts of the
civilized world. This is the interest
ing story told by Mr.. and Mrs. Christ
opher Armstrong, of Jefferson, Okla:
Our youngest daughter was for
three years afflicted with St. Vitus'
dance, and we almost despaired of
finding relief in medical treatment.
She was so helpless that she had to
be fed and would fall over at times
and be unable to rise.
I'VE had heard and read a great
deal about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and, as last resort,
determined to try them. The effect
was almost miraculous. FROM the
first box there was noticeable i'm
provement and by the time she had
taken six boxes she was almost well.
Altogether she took about a dozen
boxes, and by the time she was thir-
teen years of age was strong and
healthy, weighing ia pounds.

TAMAeNo GETS a REBUFF.

Trouble Made for Him In Paris by His
Propensity to Drive Bargains.
Ernesto Tamagno, like many other
distinguished singers, is noted for his
prudence in financial matters, and dur
ing his stay In this country many anus
ing stories were told of his small econ.
Omies, which were remarkable In the
case of an artist who has always re-
ceived enormous compensation for his
services.
That his spirit for bargaining is not
altogether confined to money matters
has recently been shown In fashion
that has put the tenor into an embar-
RAISING position in Paris. He went
there OH his way to London, where he
is singing at CoVent Garden, to take
part in the performance at the opera
given in honor of the retirement of
Nine. Laurent, an actress Of melo.
drama who has been for several years
at the head of the orphanage for the
children Of French actors and has been
decorated by the government for her
efforts in this field with the cross of the
Legion of Honor.
All the noted French actors and sing
ers were delighted to take part. Even
Nine. Patti. who was In Paris when
the plan was proposed, said she would
take the role Of Juliette in the third act
Of Gounod's opera. SIgnor Tamagno
said that he would sing in honor of
Mime. Laurent
But 1t appears that his passion for
bargaining proved too strong for him
ard he could not bring himself to give
something for nothing. So he decided
that as 1t would be out of the question
to expect payment in money on such an
occasion, he would suggest the Legion
of Honor as the appropriate reward for
his services.
He adopted this course, says the New
