THE JAPANESE WOMAN.
Not Slave, but the Autoerat and Idol
Of the Home.

"No race can rise higher than its
mothers" Japanese women are es-
sentially race of mothers, and the
care and rearing of their children
occupy so much of their time and
thought that they are unable to
have that extensive social life their
western sisters enjoy, even were it
not for the etiquette which makes
it actually fashionable for them to
find their pleasures in their homes.
Many have imputed to japanese
women in consequence a lack of
knowledge and undue meekness, re-
garding them as little more than
servants of their families and hus-
bands. Such criticism is purely SUI
perfcial and far from being accu-
rate. Indeed, it is very inaccurate.
The position of japanese wom-
an is high one. She is addressed
as "okusama," the honorable lady
of the house, and she is treated with
the greatest consideration and re-
spect by her husband and her fam
lily. Far from being a meek, Slavish
creature of the household, she is
more of the mentor, the autocrat
and idol of the home. In domestic
affairs she has full control. Her
duties are onerous, but never re-
pugnant to her. They consist of
managing the household, practicing
economy, making her home pleasant
both in appearance and by her cheer
fulness of disposition, and the ed
ucation and instruction of her chill
dren, for even after the children
have entered school they are still
under her tutelage.
AS her home is therefore her
world, it is only natural that it has
become the inherent instinct of the
japanese women to lavish the great
est love and tenderness upon their
homes and to expend much time
and thought in endeavoring to make
them as attractive and as pleasant
as possible.
Her house is the acme of purity. |
To a western eye the aspect Of the
interior of japanese house may
at first seem bare and cherries. In
truth, the japanese abhor decora-
ton of any kind and consider it not
only inartistic, but extremely vul-
gar. / was once shown a so called
Japanese room" in the house of
Chicago millionaire, and / am quite
sure that the average japanese
housewife would have thought her
self in the room of some insane per-
son or else in some curiosity shop.
Such a profusion of articles scat
tered broadcast about the room!
Such a frightful display Of mixed
up ornaments hanging to the WALL

A Progressive Conundrun1.

They were working the conun-
drum racket at small sociable the
other evening when a previously 81.
lent youth put in his oar with the
current conversation.
'1've gs; one" he said.
"What is it ?" asked the crowd.
"Why is heaven like baby|
They wrestled with it for ten
minutes and gave it up; then he
submitted this answer:
Because heaven is home, home
is where the heart is, where the
heart is is the chest, a chest is a
box, a box is a small tree, small
tree is bush, a bush is a growing
plant, growing plant is a beauti-
full thing, a beautiful thing is
primrose, the primrose is a pro-
nounced yeller and a pronounced
yeller is baby"
After which he once more re-
lapsed into silence.

Treatment For a wild Hair"

A wild hair" is the most annoy
ing freak of nature a man can be
afflicted with. 1t grows in from the
eyelid instead of out and, constantly
brushing against the eyeball, some
times causes an irritation that re-
suits in the loss of sight. To pull it
out gives only temporary relief,
since in few weeks it comes back as
well grown and strong as ever. The
only way to kill it is to destroy the
sac from which it springs. This is
done by means of the electric needle,
which is pressed into the sac and Q
current turned on. A sharp prick is
felt, and the hair is forever dead.

Mohave Superstltlons.

The Mohaves believe that all who
die and are not cremated are turned
into owls, and when they hear an
owl hooting at night they think il
is the spirit of some dead Mohave
returned. After any one dies they
do not eat salt or wash themselves
for four days. They had formerly
an annual burning of property and
all would contribute something to
the flames in expectation Of its go
ing up to their departed friends in
heaven, or "white mountain" as
they call it.

Tides In the Mediterranean.

For practical purposes the Med
iterranean may be accepted as being
what it is popularity supposed to be,
a tideless sea, but it is not so in
reality. In many places there is a
distinct rise and fall, though this is
more frequently due to winds and
currents than to lunar attraction.
AT Venice there is a rise of from
one to two feet in spring tides, ac-
cording to the prevalence of winds
up or down the Adriatic. In many
straits and narrow arms of the sea
there is periodical fux and refux,
but the only place where the tidal
influence, properly so called, is un-
mistakably observed is in the gulf
of Gabes, where the tide runs at
the rate of two or three knots an
hour and the rise and fall varies
from three to eight feet.

BottIlng Tears.

In Persia, it appears, they still
bottle up tears as of old. This is
done in the following manner: AS
the mourners are sitting around and
weeping the master of ceremonies
presents each one with a piece of
cotton wool, with which he wipes
his tears. This cotton is afterward
squeezed into a bottle, and the tears
are preserved as a powerful and eff
fcacious remedy for reviving a dy-
ing man after every other means
has failed. 1t is also employed as
a charm against evil influences.
This custom is probably alluded to
in Psalm lvi, s, "Put thou my tears
into bottle" The practice was
once universal, as is manifested by
the tear bottles which are to be
found in almost every ancient tomb,
for the ancients buried them with
their dead as proof of their affec-
tion

orewsome Experience Of a Traveller
In an Arizona Town.

about II o'clock on a stormy
night in November of a certain
year." said Baltimore commercial
traveller, ga friend and l stepped
from a train in one of the small
towns in Arizona. A broken down
market wagon was the only vehicle
about. We hailed the driver and
were taken to the only hotel which
the town could boast. We found
the proprietor asleep in his chair,
which was tilted against the front
of the bar. He was awakened by
our noisy entrance.
80 our dismay, we were told at
first that there were no accommo-
dations to be had, the hotel being
filled with cattle dealers. But upon
our insistence the proprietor con-
sented to put us up for the night.
My friend was assigned to room
over the dining room, while agreed
to bunk with the proprietor's son,
who was already asleep.
"a short time after | retired there
came noise at my door. Two men
stepped boldly into the room and
opened bags that they carried. Pre-
Stunning that they were robbers, 1
kicked my bedfellow on the foot,
but he did not move. | kicked him
again, and as he did not respond l
threw my arms across his face.
Great heavensp shrieked, greatly
startled, as the face was icy cold.
The men, hearing me yell, fell over
each other endeayoring to get out
of the room, never stopping to pick
up their lanterns or effects.
81 Immediately dressed and went
downstairs, relating as best | could
my story to the landlord, who, now
wide awake, listened attentively.
To my establishment, l learned that
instead of being assigned to room
10, which was occupied by his son,
l had been put in No. 10, which
contained'a corpse. The men that
l supposed were robbers were I'M
dertakers, who had come to prepare
the body for burial. What they
thought when they heard the sup
posed corpse make such an cutlery
could only surmise. Baltimore

NORWEGIAN SKEES.
Now These Peculiar Snowshoes Are
Made and Worn.

Made and Worn.
1t is during the Norwegian winter
that the most characteristic sports
IN that country hold sway. When
the fords are frozen after the snow
has fallen, the water is covered with
the bright, shining ice, ard, like the
gulls during the summer, the Nor
wegian boys now glide about on
their skates where in July and Au-
gust they had crossed in sailing
boats. But when the snow covers
mountain, valley and ford many
feet deep snowshoeing or skee lob
ming, as it is called in Norway, be-
comes universal not merely as a
sport, but also as a necessary way Of
travelling.
The S KEGS are made of wood, gen.
orally of ash. 1t is the most suitable
wood for the purpose, but they can
also be made out of pine or birch or
Of almost any wood in which the
grain runs straight and which is not
too knotted. But woods like ash,
which is both hard and flexible, are
admirably adapted for skee making.
The skees are some ten feet long
and about four inches broad and
taper up in front in graceful
curve. A very slight groove about
half an inch wide runs all along the
middle of the skee from front to
back, giving tendency to keep it
steady in one direction and to pre-
vent it to some extent from sliding
to one side. About an inch back of
the middle of the skee loop is
made out of twisted willow or in re-
cent years frequently out of leather
covered bamboo, forming firm but
flexible support for the foot about
two inches back of the toe. Another
loop of leather covered bamboo runs
from the base of the loop for the
toes and all around the heel, while
one strap combines the two sides of
this loop under the foot The skee
runner then finishes the fastening
by buckling strap over his instep.
This peculiar arrangement of
loops and straps allows the runner
to move his heel in a vertical direc-
ton so far that he could, although |
with effort, put his knee down to
the skee in front of him while his
toes still remain in the loop, but in
horizontal direction the foot is ar
rested. The skee must follow every
small movement of the foot to the
right or left.-C. Z. Borchgrevink
in st. Nicholas.
