OF the family have dark spins, suspi-

Paris, where several of the family have
long been prominent. The former min

JAPAN IN WINTER.

81 suppose that the American people
and the Russians are the only western
races that really keep warm In winter.
Stlll those who dwell In other countries
admit that they have the same ideal by
their Inefficient effort to attain to It,"
writes Anna y. 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 'hushido (chiyal-
rous) idea of the 'samurar (knights)
was that II WAS effemnate to feel cold,
and such is their severe training that
they do not really feel 1t as we do. The
wearing Of some extra 'kimonos' and
the use of Il 'hibachi,' or brazier, In
which are few tiny sticks Of lighted
charcoal, are the only concessions to
winter weather. With the 'hibachr
they never pretend to heat more than
their finger tips. which they hold over
