According to the Japan Times a new
island has been discovered in the Sea
of Japan. From a statement appearing
in the Nichi Nichi it appears that the
island is situated at a point between
Ul-long-do Island, off Korea, and the
oki Archipelago, off the coasts of the
San-in-do. the distance from either
S. e being 80 miles. No maps ever pub
lished contain any refernce to the ISL
and, which is reported to be about two
miles in length and about the same
in breadth. 1t was about a a or two
ago that the island was first discovered
by a fisherman of Kyushu, who found
the waters in Its neighborhood full OF
sea horses.

PRETTY DUTCH LASSIES.


Girls In Netherlands Exceedingly Comely
TO Look Upon.
Dutch girls are frequently very pref
ty and the only criticism an American
has to make OF them is that they talk
rather loud. move decidedly and are
perhaps a little masculine in their hab-
its. They usually have fair hair, blue
eyes, white teeth and pink cheeks
that is, the Saxon type. The Tristan
type is tall and slight, with bright
color and a quick, eager look. Some
Of the best families are descendants Of
those who came to Holland after the
revocation of the edict of Nantes, and
they still show their Huguenot blood.
These Joyous, alert young girls settle
down into the sedate matron which
every Dutchwoman thinks it her duty
to become. They have strong domes-
tic tastes and affections and when mar
ried are devoted to their homes, their
husbands and their children. They
know how to make their homes bright
and comfortable. A great deal Of lux
ury is found In houses of the higher
classes. Marble halls, painted ceilings
and thick carpets, beautiful workman
ship and delicate detail are as appar-
ent as of old in the houses Of the
bourgeoisie, as well as in great man
sions. The Dutch lady thoroughly
understands household management.
She prides herself upon giving excel
lent food and has a well-appointed
linen press, but superfiuous prettiness-
es are wanting. One will see fine old
tsilverware and precious Delft ware at
the little dinners she is fond of giving,
but there will be no flowers on the Ia
BILE and the guests do not dress for
dinner. Ladies' at The Hague and
among the highest class are as cosmo-
politan, as smart and as beautifully
turned out as in my society in Europe,
but the bourgeois has not much idea
of dressing well, and will appear at
the breakfast table In dressing gown
and slippers, not exactly untidy, but
chosen more with a view to the com
Portable and the economical than the
becoming. A woman who does not
marry and who has a little money can
lead a very pleasant life.

In the daily war for supremacy now
waged in Paris between the police and
the motormen the former are constant
ly devising fresh methods for catching
the latter in the act OF furious driving.
The authorities have just made a new
move by investing in a large stock of
high-priced chronometers. Special po-
licemen have been provided with these
instruments and sent to the Bots de
Boulogne to watch offending utomo-
bilists. The policeman takes up his
stand on a given spot, the distance
from which to another point in view
has previously been accurately meas
ured. When a motorman passes the
first place the policeman times him
during his progress to the second. and
hen he reaches the latter invariably
nabs him for furious driving. In nine
cases out of ten the automobiles can
only plead guilty when confronted nv

faithfully the thousand brilliant colors

were breaking in a white line against

wholesome tang of salt was In the air,
which blew in freshly across the wide
expanse of delicate sapphire-tinted sea.
The sun had disappeared behind a
bank or rose-colored cloud, and no
