JAPANESE LADIES.
They Are Fragile, Waxen and Dainty,
Quiet and InscrutabIe. hut
Intensely Human.

Woman's Home Companion contains
deeply interesting article by the
young Japanese writer, Onoto Watan-
ma, entitled "Home and Social Life of
the japanese" She sketches them as
follows:
in a poem entitled ITO a Japanese
Lady of High Rank by an American,
she is described thus:
Fragile waXen type of woman,
Mute, inscrutable unhuman.'
"A little deeper insight into the char
acter, and better knowledge of the
life OF the lady of rank in Japan,
might have stayed the poets pen, for
above all things she is human. Fur
thermore, she is essentially domestic,
womanly and motherly. Obedent to
the etiquette of her class. however,
she is mindful of the strict eonven-
ton which demands the repression of
her emotions, and which regards any
betrayal of her real feelings, particu-
larly in public, as vulgar and unre-
fined. Hence, the Japanese lady wears
a placid, even smiling, mask perhaps
at a time when she is undergoing both
mental and physical suffering. But
she is not 'unhuman,' nor is she any
the worse for this repression. for to-
gether with it is cultivated self-ab-
negation, unselfishness, meekness and
obedience; and at times these quail
ties have been put to test that has
provoked acts of positive heroism on
the part of this fragile waXen type of
woman
even the highest-class Japanese
women have their household duties to
perform, and no matter how rich the
family, japanese girls are brought up
to be able to sew, cook and attend 10
their homes. With the usual perver-
sity of things japanese, the household
is managed with a view to the COM
fort of the husband. The first thought
of the WIFE whether she be rich or
poor, is ever to make the happiness of
her husband.
"Now, duty is a pretty hard word
for some of us to spell. but to a Jap
anese it is almost an equivalent for
pleasure; and so no duty or task in
the home is performed but that it is
done with light and cheerful heart"

"At ten o'clock this morning tho

"The greatest praise is heard upon
all sides for the graceful act of King
Edward. II is understood that in thus
granting clemency to Mrs. Maybricl1
the king wishes to emphasize the char

he could not better inaugurate his

What Eggs are Good FOR.

Now that eggs cannot be had for
love nor money in this community,
it might be well to note the few
things they are good for.
A mustard plaster made with the
white of an egg will not leave a bis
ter.
The white skin that lines the shell
of an egg is useful application for
boil.
White of egg, beaten with loaf
sugar and lemon, relieves hoarse-
ness-a teaspoonful taken once every
hour.
An egg added to the morning cup
of coffee makes good tonic.
A raw egg with the yolk unbroken
taken in glass of wine is beneficial
for convalescents.
The white of a raw egg turned
over burn or scald is most soothing
and cooling. 1t can be applied quick
ly, and will prevent inflammation be-
sides relieving the singing pain.
1t might also be added that eggs
are good to eat, cooked in nearly any
style.
Also that they are good for forty
cents dozen ust now.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be aiken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Judge Page, of Los Angeles, repre-
senting capital in that section, was
an arrival here Thursday, and left
yesterday with Johnny Logan for
Pine Grove to inspect the Rockland
mine, property formerly owned by
Ex-Governor Blasdel, and which in
years gone by has produced con-
siderable bullion, Mr.. Logan has a
bond on the property, and Judge
Page is here with the view of start
ing up the mine soon on quite an
extensive scale. This mine was to
have been started up year ago last
July and mill constructed to work
the ore, but at that time Governor
Blasd died and that put an end to
the working OF the mine for the time
being. The property is considered
valuable one, and may be expected
to be bullion producer next season.

Bronze Monuments.

We notice that in the East great
deal of bronze work is being used
for tombstones, instead of marble. 1t
is true that marble costs two or
three times as much as a bronze
monument, but it does not look any
nicer nor wear any better. The
bronze monuments now being con-
structed greatly resemble marble,
and they stand the weather, cold,
heat, trosts, rains and winds just as
we'll. An eastern paper in speaking
of a large cemetery, says it is sur
prising to see what large percent
age of bronze tombstones it contain
ed, and what a neatly-appearing
sight they presented. In connection
with this item it may not be amiss
to call your attention to the fact that
H. V. Clinton Is the agent for the
Monumental Bronze Company, and
that if you are in need of anything
in the way of monuments he could
probably furnish you what you de-
sire at reasonable price.
