A Race OF rIothers

The notion that the Japanese woman
is a meek and slavisll creature. little
better than a servant in her household.
is altogether a mistaken one On the
contrary. she is addressed as "Oku-
sama." the honorable lady OF the house,
and is treated with the greatest respect
and consideration by her husband and
her family. She is the mentor, the att
tocrat and idol OF the home. In do
mestic affairs she has full control. Her
duties are onerous, bit never repugnant
to her. They consist oi managing the
household, practicing economy, max
ing her home pleasant both in appear
ance and by her cheeriulness OF dispo-
sition. and the education and instruction
OF her children, for even after the chill
dren have entered school they are still
under her tutelage, a japanese house is
the acme OF purity. To a Western eye
the aspect OF the interior OF Japanese
house may at first seem bare and bar
ren. In truth. the Japanese abhor dec
oration OF any kind. and consider it
not only. inartstic, but extremely yul-
gar.

How Er:nlnes are Captured

Perfect fur, OF the delicate ermine at
least, would be marred by the ordinary
snare, so the trapper deviscs as cum
ning a death for the ermine as the er-
mine deviSes when it darts up through
the snow with its spear teeth clutched
III the throat OF a poor rabbit. writes
Agnes {. laut, in Leslie's Monthly.
Smearing his hunting knife with grease.
he lays it across the track The little
ernnne comes trotting in dots and
dashes and gallops and dives to the
knife. That greasy smell OF meat it
knows. but that. frost-silvered bit OF
steel is something new. The knife is
frosted like ice Ice tho ermine has
licked, SO he licks the knife But alas
for the resemblance between ice and
steel! Ice turns to water under the
warm tongue; steel turns to fire that
blisters and holds the foolish little stoat
by his inquisitive tongue, hopeless
prisoner till the trapper comes. And,
lest maraudng wolverine or lynx
should come first and gobble up price
less ermine, the trapper comes soon.
And that is the end for the ermne.

Lovely Summer MusIins,

The summer girl will have no trouble
in finding lovely muslin gowns. The
chief trouble will be in trying to make
selection from the wonderful variety
offered. silk muslin is exquisitely
dainty, and n girl gowned in it could

upon. A new and pretty design is
shown this season. 1t Is little silk

leaves being vivid green. Still an.

Choosing a Wife by Music

A German professor proposes to
solve the difficulty some people seem
to have in choosing wife by trial OF
music" reports the London Express.
Everything depends on the taste OF the
subject under study. II she prefers
waltz music, and above all Strauss in
toxicating strains, she is certainly friv-
olous. Ii she loves Beethoven she Is
artistic. but not practical. Does she
prefer Liszt? Then she is ambitious
while a devotee OF Mozart would be
rather prudish. Why an admirer OF
Offenbach should be cunning is~not
very clear; but remembering the opera
OF Faust, it is easy to understand that
any girl preferring Gounod must be
romantic and tender-hearted.
1t is hard upon Flotow that because
his music is out OF fashion a taste Tor
it denotes vulgar soul; while Cots
chalk fares little better. pleasing, ac-
cording to the German professor, only
the superficial. Massenet is supposed
to attract the timd while devotion
to Wagner's music is distinct proof OF
egotsm. Saint Sacns, however, is a
composer the admiration for whom de-
notes a girl OF intelligence and we'll
