QUEER HOUSE GARDENS.
Japrnese Idea Which Bids Fair to BE
Popular Here.

Popular Here.
Japan has sent many quaint and
lovely works of art to America, but
none more perfect and yet more sur
prising than the miniature house gar
den which is to the Japanese home
what the average window conserva-
tory is to the luxurious American
mansion.
The difference. however, between
the Japanese and American house gar
den is very great. The Oriental prod
uct is a genuine garden, laid out
with all the taste and science of the
professional landscapist The terri
tory it covers is from four to five feet
square. Such fairy pleasure ground
is called in Japan a toko-niwa. and
every well-bred Japanese family that
cannot afford a domain large enough
for real garden buys a toko-niwa
and sets it up in what might be called
the area-way of the house. or in the
family sitting room.
Only recently have these exquisite
miniature gardens been brought to
the United States. They are delicate
things to import, and as yet are very
costly, for all the trees and shrubs
belong to the artifcially dwarfed ver-
dure of Japan, and only an artist of
true ability and culture can construct
toko-niwa.
The foundation is a square or round,
shallow box. the sides of which are
daintily carved. Into the box go
stones and earth for the construc-
tion of evergreen crowned hills. beet
ling crags, humpbacked bridges. peb-
bled paths and stretches of meadow
land. Rivulets no wider than case
knife blades, meander through the
lawns, gurgle in rapids under the
bridges and widen into lakelets where
golden minnows glide and dive There
is usually tea house on the hillside,
and bit of a temple or a shrine un-
der a grove of trees that tower 10
inches in the air, and in the western
sense it isn't garden at all. but
wonderful bit of natural landscape,
copied right out of Japan itself, and
only large enough to ornament a ta-
BILE in the sunny corner of a room.
These Japanese gardens can be
kept alive and flourishing for a num-
Der of years if the proper care is Civ
en- them; or if p Japanese gardener,
who knows what the little plants
need, is called in occasionally to re-
fresh the lakelets and watercourses,
keep down the weeds and keep up the
repairs on the tea house and temple

General Hamilton and the Boer Mother.
General Ian Hamilton, while quar-
tered in a Boer farmhouse won the
gratitude of it's hostile mistress in the
following characteristic way: All of
his intercourse with her was carried
on through an interpreter, and her
answers were given with so little
grace that talk was not frequent.
Only once her stern face lighted; this
was when he asked about her youngest
fighting son, boy of IA. Her lips
quivered; emotion was not really
frozen within her.
Next day the general had occasion
to ride past the farm, and he called,
for a moment. upon her.
Tell her." said he to the interpreter,
chat we have won the battle today"
Tell her the Dutch will certainly
be beaten"
perhaps her sons will be taken
prisoners"
Still no reply.
"Now tell her to write down on
piece of paper the name of the young
est, and give it to my aide-de-camp.
Then when he is captured she must
write to me, and we will not keep him
a prisoner. We will send him back
to her"
At last her face broke into emotion.
The chord had been struck.-Youth's

Tempering copper SO as to equal in
lexibility, toughness and hardness the
best Damascus steel is an art which
the ancients possessed, but which is
unknown in modern times. Its redis-
covery has been vainly sought for a
century or more. Some years ago an
American inventor claimed to have
discovered the process. If he did, the
world reaped no benefit from it, for
he died without revealing his secret.
Now woman and her two sons, liv-
ing on the Pacific coast, are said to
have evolved process which tempers
copper so that it will cut chilled steel
and Harveyized steel plates. If so,
the lost art has been restored to the
human race, for inasmuch as the Sc
cret of the process is in the posses
sion of three persons there is every
likelihood of its being finally COM
municGted to others and becoming
permanently retained in the metal in
dustries. Owing to the greater due
tility and durability of copper over
iron, a knowledge of tempering it will
be n boon of incalculable value to
mankind

straints in the endeavors to keep clean

dainty apparel. A child should never
be conscious of it's clothes. Many
mothers toll and deny themselves,
even to the point of injuring their
health, that they may satisfy their am
bition to clothe their children in beau
tiful garments. They are led to do
this from their social ambition and
from their motherly love, which would
lavish upon the child all that any
child could have. The great temp
tations of mothers is to make dolls
and puppets of their children. Fortu-
nately to do this women do not have
to work as hard as in other days. as
children's dresses come ready-made

maternal needle is not driven to such
feats of embroidery and dressmaking

The extension of domestic postal
rates to Cuba will be good thing for
both that island and the United States.
Two cents an ounce, instead of five
cents a half ounce, will promote COR
respondence between the two coun-
tries, with benefcient results all
around. Nor will the change be incon-
sistent with the principle that Cuba is
a foreign country, remarks the New
York Tribune for our domestic rates
of postage have long prevailed be-
tween the United States and Canada
and Mexico. The change will put
Cuba on the same postal basis with

Don't grieve over friends departed,

And you'll find many more instead.

Though adrift on barren isis.

Mr.. WAYNE MACVEAGH, man who
usually opens his mouth to say things
that are worth considering, recently
gave utterance to the belief chat in
the future the line of cleavage between
the two great parties would be more
hard and fast than ever before. One
inclined to believe that this may be
true, but Mr.. MacVeagh says also that
e two great parties will represent on
one side the contented and on the other
side the disconnected. CHS one is in
c1ined to doubt except in so far as one
naturally disconnected at seeing
some other than his accepted idea
of governmental policy put into oper-
elton. But the idea that the great
Democratic and Republican par
ties are so Numerically opposed
to their mutual interests that the
one represents the discontented
and the other the contented is not the
east est to accept. When the cleavage
becomes strongly demarked and per-
manent between the two great political
parties of this country along line of
discontentment, there will be present
with the people of the United States a
grievous situation that in our humble
opinion is far way off We believe
that there is still honest difference OF
opinion as to the wisdom of policy,
difference of principle that distin-
guishes parties. The possibility of
pursuading those that look for anchor
alton of their condition that this or
that policy would affect the desired
change may divide people Temporal
lily into dramatically opposed parties
on a question of self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
but that line must be as tickle and
changeable as the face of fortune. 1t
cannot be permanent.

THE IMMORTAL TRIo-RED WHITE AND

Immortal? Why. yes, immortal as Life,
With it's red of the blood and blue of the Veln
Immortal as Death, when the conqueIing strife
Has frosted with cold and Whitened with pair.
Immortal, immortal the true of the Blue,
Immortal, immortal the life of the Red;
The Red and the Blue are for me and for you!
Immortal the White for the immortal Dead.
From arches of Beauty high vaulted above,
You caught the broad union of Life and of
Truth?
AS old as the Sun. as eternal as Love,
You live on forever, in eternal youth
Eternal, eternal, the true of the Blue,
Eternal, eternal, the life of the Red;
The Red and the Blue are for me and for you
Eternal the White for the immortal Dead.
When the Great Golden Glory bore with it
the Day,
And Night came in silence, as Picket on guard,
You waited, all starless, and beckoned your
way
Each Singer of Morning. Apocalypse Bard
You caught from the Pleads, your six and
your seven,
And waved glad welcome to birth of your
stars!
And rippled in JOY with your stars and your
bars!
New born and new-wedded, DER Washington's
head
You sent out promise for all coming time,
To be true with true Blue to be human with
Red,
And shine with your stars over every c1ime
Yet more-dear old Banner-yOu tell it to me,
AS looking up see you waving afar,
with my seven and heaven, when at last
was free,
I laid down the Cross to win for it STAR
Float, ripple and wave for the free and the
brave!
"Crown for Cross, gain for loss" is the lesson
you teach,
With your Red, White and Blue, human, pure
and so true,
Float, ripple and wave to the stars out of
reach!

THE twentieth century woman Is
factor to be reckoned with. What Of
her? What is she going to do with
herself? There are some very strong
evidences that the twentieth century
woman will be heard from. There are
good reasons to believe that the TWEEN
tieth century may be distinctly a wom-
ans century. It may be her era.
Now, at the beginning of the century,
we have as a typical American woman
one of unusual attractiveness. of well
developed physique, of we'll trained
mind and of superior intelligence.
During these years in which man has
been laying waste his powers getting
and spending, allowing his physical
nature to degenerate by keeping him
self tied to desk or an office, or en-
crossed in the business of life, making
money, the woman has been INDUCING
in all the intellectual refnements and
strength-makers and has been filing
her mind with knowledge and her body
with vitality and strength by well
balanced use of seminary and library
and Woman's club, and the saddle, the
golf links and the bicycle, until she is
not only woman of splendid physical
beauty and strength, but of keen men
tai faculties and magnificent informa-
ton. Now, what of it all? Why,
what in the world could be more nat
ura1 than that the twentieth century
American woman should be the hrst to
show the world all that a woman can
be. What is to hinder the twentieth
century in America producing women
who shall make the name OF the
United States famous as Literary ma
ton Why should we not produce
female Shakespeare or Goethe, or
Newton? In other words, is it unreas-
enable to suppose that the twentieth
century in the United States may wit
ness the browning point in the evolu-
ton of emancipated womanhood.

The Soldiers From Fort Sheridan Lose to

A crowd of about six hundred people
witnessed the game at the Fair View
ball park Sunday, when the local team
met and defeated the Fort Sheridan
aggregation. The weather was ideal
for ball game and the fans were in
good humor. The game, however, was
not one of the rarest exhibitions of the
national sport ever witnessed in this
city. The soldiers were not up to the
game, their battery being consider
ably below the average. Their pitcher
was hit frequently and if it was not for
some very good fielding the score
would have been a marvel to behold
The fielding Of the Athletics was not
all that might be expected. The con-
dition of the outfe1d is such as to put
gilt edge fielding out of the question.

IT is a strange condition of affairs
when the moneyed men of the land, on
one side, IRE deploring the time spent
in the college, and seeking IN one way
and another to depreCiate the value OF
the institutions of higher learning,
while on the other side the wealthiest
men of the land are giving away their
wealth, in vast quantities for the en-
dowment of Universities and the es-
tab1ishment of libraries. Evidently
there is a difference in the opinion of
these men as to the value Of college
training, Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Hanna
and Mr.. Thomas and the rest lament
the college as an unnecessary factor IN

while Mr.. Carnegie, Mr.. Rockefeller,
Mr.. Morgan and many others are Civ
ing out of the abundance of their
means to the support of colleges and
~+hA ancoura cement of institutions Of
learning of one kind and another. 1t
Is evidently easier to act consistently
with the opinions of Messrs. Schwab,
Hanna, ETC., than it is with the opin-
aons of the other gentlemen, for their
position requires orly that they snail
not do anything to encourage what
they are pleased to consider draw
back, while those who are inclined to
look upon the college as more or less
useful and helpful institution are nat
urally called upon to contribute to its
support. Certainly the nunificent
gifts of Carnegie and Rockefeller are
far more potent arguments for the
college than those of Messrs. Hanna
and Schwab are against them

THE fact that common use makes
the dictionary is slowly becoming
recognized. Not long since two
learned University Presidents gave ex-
preston to the idea that they did not
understand why that set of phrases so
commonly alluded to as slang and
scorned By the proper writer's should
not be incorporated into the body OF
the English language. There is
doubtless a place for it in the Ian
euage. There is much of it that will
never find permanent place there,
but if there is a little of value in the
slang voca bulary, if there is some
thing there that would enliven the
valley of dry bones into which the
straight laced have seemingly forced
the English language, it would be
worth the while. Certainly there is
need of some new blood, as it were.
The old accepted style is getting worn
out. By the use Of the conventional
so called proper language both of the
sources of improvement are blocked
UP. We neither get the most refined
nor the vulgar. Out of the two there
no question the language would re.
ceive new lease of life. The uses OF
custom have gotten writer's and speak
into the habit of dressing up their
thoughts in the same stereotyped
phrases. The same old dried up bou
Duets of words are pinned on to the
literature of the day in every and al
occasions. Even the bowery is re
lief now ard then.
