He lost his wheat, oat and rye crops

but then we hear of tho storms and
cyclones In the eastern part OF the
state we should be thankful that we

they are, because here, we can plant
for forage crop now and make feed
and they can't. Crops look very
well where the hail missed.

best ones are made of ivory, but those

the japanese value expensive unostenta-

Pretty Lower Glass Women.
I have said that the lower a japanese
woman is in class the more consideration
she receives. 1t is true also that the lower
her class the prettier she is. A Japanese

capable Of being as pretty as any grisette

painted for his Girl at the Fountain is
thoroughly characteristic type of the Jap

black, but unless she has a spark of good
breeding they need not be almond-shaped

japanese Women's Dress.
Nor do the observation-disclosures
glass characteristics of the Japanese wo-
man consist only in her relations with her
husband. Take her dress, for example. A
kimono is more adapted to the European
lady's figure If it is worn backside fore
most, and the Partisan costume suits the
japanese figure better backside foremost.
If the dress comes from Germany 1t does
not signify so much, because the Germans

A Deer's Salt Water Bath.

From the Kennebec Journal.
A deer taking a salt water bath was
sight TO which Ferry Beach residents, just
beyond Old Orchard, We're treated Sunday.
Early in the morning large deer ran down
through the streets of the settlement and
made for the ocean He waded cut until
the water touched his body and began to
perform his Sunday additions, regardless Of
the large number who were watching him.
AS soon as he had waded out some distance
he began to run as fast he could through
the water This done. he took a plunge
and swim and then. apparently much re-
freshed. started for the road and was soon
lost In the woods.

have seen one Of them die-of fever. The
other will have been lost-probably some
accident in the forest. Make ready, then,

rises your God will arise also and come
forth"
Several negroes at this got round Gordon
and the confusion was deafening. EMO
seemed to be arguing out some point, and
finally he got his way, for procession was
roughly formed.
Say farewell to your friend" he said,
coming up to Gordon.
what are you going to do with him?'
Gordon asked.
Emio shrugged his shoulders
"Who knows? We must leave him be-

He turned away to give some orders, ana
Gordon, kneeling down beside Chisholm
saw he was moving a little.
Goodbye, old chap" he whispered, but
his only answer was the monotonous raw
ing of the sick man.
The preparations for departure continued,
and, very much mystified to what was
in store for him, Gordon was placed at the
head of the little procession with Emio by
his side In this order with the rabble fol-
lowing at their heels, they returned along
the path, past the nuts and the place Where
he and Chisholm had been kept prisoners,
and so entered the forest. Here two or
three men We're sent ahead to clear the
way. From this Gordon concluded that he
was to be taken toward the river, which in
part of it's course spread out through miles
of unreclaimed swamp and virgin forest.
Also, he noticed that the procession moved
with increasing caution. The usual loquac-
ity of the negroes was replaced by silence,
a touch passing from one to another indi-
Gated change of direction or a danger to
be avoided. To Gordon the distance seemed
interminable, and still the stealthy, I'M

When her hands are cold she pulls them
up into her sleeves, which are long and
hanging, as they were when King Arthur
court began. and The had three ancient
serVing-men, and all of them were thieves"
doubtless those ancient serving-men, like
the modern japanese woman, had their
sleeves half hemmed up for pockets.
The japanese woman carries in her sleeve
a pocket handkerchief, which is generally
made of paper; gaudy silk case containing
her chop sticks-you take your feeding tools
with you to a japanese meal instead OF
finding them on the table-and another
gaudy silk case. which contains looking
glass which isn't made of glass. but silver
colored bronze; her pocket comb, which is
of no use, but a piece of foreign swagger;
and her pot of lip-salve, which is not in
tended to soften the lips, since kissing is
not japanese custom, but to color them to
an improbable crimson. She may keep her
fan and her smoking materials in her
sleeve, but she more often has them sus-
pended from buttons.
The japanese do not use buttons for but
toning; they stick them through their
sashes and let them hang down by silver
chains or silken cords. to the other end of
which they attach their fans, their smoking
kit, their medicine chests and perhaps their
pen and ink. All this sounds formidable,

The Jap Woman's JeweIry.
They carry their tobacco in purse, and
smoke it in a little brass pipe hardly big
enough to hold a cigarette. 1t only holds
about three whiffs, which would be incon-
venient in a land where the natives do not
use matches, though they forge foreign
brands. if it We're not for the fact that there
is hardly a room in Japan which has not

(hibachD, or a cooking stove, which looks
like a tool box with its lid replaced by a
scullery sink full Of gray ash. The pen and
the pipe have each their case made like
the cardboard cases in which razors are
sold, but of elegant workmanship and often
of costly materials.
1t is only in cases and buttons that a
Japanese woman can indulge her taste for

more than they have oaths or bad language.
Gold is very little used, and even silver is
more used for inlaying other metals than
