To leave the subject of Christmas

smart tailor made I saw, or, beg
your pardon. I should say visiting cos
tune of such an elaborate affair as this
was. The material was gun metal gray
chiffon velvet embroidered with gray
and silver chenille embroidery. The
jacket hung loose over a wide, crinHled
belt of a deeper velvet. The fuIlness of
the sleeves was plated in at the wrist
and the killed skirt fiared all the way
out from the little embroidered hip
yoke.
I notice, by the way. that many law
ender zibelines and broadcloths are
being made up. They are worn with
soft white blouses and velvet hats of a
deeper purple trimmed with shaded
lavender and white ostrich tips which
rest softly against the hair.

We read in heather mythology of
the river Lethe, into the waters of
which, if one be plunged, he becomes
entirely oblivious to all sensations of
pain or displeasure. 1t is not q
bright and happy picture; rather
that of the grave than otherwise.
But there is res. and peace and quiet,
for which the good of this world
often sigh, and in Revelation we
read of the time and the place where
"the wicked cease from troubling,
and the weary are at rest. And
One has said "Come unto me, all We
that are weary, aud will give you
rest," and we further read of the
"lsnd unseen by mortal eye". The
place, the time and the condition to
which all men in all times have
looked forward, may it not be in that
far-of land, through which flows
the beautiful river, where the poor
pilgrim of earth, toll burdened and
weary, will find the rest for which
he continually sighs?
There's stream which runs through
far OF land
With q cadence soft and low;
Ger the glittering sands, as IL spirit
hands
Were guiding its quiet flow;
And many sigh. as the waves GO by,
Is sbourne on it's limpld breast
For this placid stream, with sparkling
CLEAN,
Is "Lethe," the river of rest.
There are lovely flowers along the stream,
Which never are out of bloom;
There are lillies fair and roses iare
And violets' sweet perfume;
And purple hearts-esse; Hesperian trees,
With golden fruit hung low;
In nests OF green, their glimmeriug sheen
Plays ON the river below.

THE JAPAN LETTER.
CITIZEN:

EDITOR CITIZEN:
"Well, in my opinion, Japan is a
very much overrated country. Much
of it is mountainous, and conditions
seem to be very hard for the thickly
populated country.
The working people have not arisen
with the progress of the higher glasses
in the scale of civilization. Back ia
the interior, and not so far from the
coast, too, the old type of Japan, /
believe, exists as it has for centuries.
These people received a great deal
Of advertisement following the
Chinese-Japanese war, but they are
not the power as a nation they are
said to be. The country is exceed
ingly poor, but it must be said in
all fairness that they have made all
out of it by their great industry that
there is to be made, and more than
many people would have done, but
the area is 30 very small to work
upon. 0i
When one enters Japan, the first
impression is the vast difference in
customs and manners of it's people in
comparison with western ciyilization.
The next is the constant and ever.
lasting array of, what to me appeared
to be, toys. Everything made is
highly decorative, but, practically,
nothing Substantial. So
saw every variety of product of
Japan at her exhibition of industries
now being held at Osaka, but, not.
withstanding it's beauty in general,
it did not raise my estimation of
their genius, because it is practically y
all copy of Chinese art. True, they
have improved upon some of Chinese
products. but, in many instances,
they have not the substantial merit
Of Chinese ware of the same sort.
The silks are nearly all fine in ap-
pearance, but are "shoddy" stun.
Their products are made for decep-
tion, and the people i should call
impudent little upstarts.
Of China, there ia much, barring
the vile odors (and the same in Ja-
pan cling to ones nostiils), to admire.
The country itself ia beautiful in
deed, and l should not be unhappy
to live there. The Chinamau has

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.


In his annual report the u. S.
Commissioner Of Fish anu Fisheries
says: "The experiments which have
been carried on for several years at
Lynnhaven, Va, to perfect method
by which oysters can be fsttened and
improv in flavor and food value
are meeting with encouraging suc-
cess. Means have been found to sup
ply proper food in sufficient quantity
and in q systematic manner, and it
is believed in another season it can
be demonstrated that oysters can be
fattened for market by simple eco
nomical means. This will make the
industry far more profitable than the
present method of allowing the oys-
ters to grow under natural con-
ditions, which ia always uncertain
and often will not give the best re-
Suits"
Says the Fishing Gazette: "This
seems to assure that New York will
outstrip her sister States in this in.
dustry within very few years. The
natural advantages of Maryland and
Virginia are superior to those of
New York, but these two States are
not keeping pace with the progress
OF some Others. The oystermen of
the Chesapeake Bay region place re-
lance In natural beds and restrictive
measures, with no attention to culti-
vstion, while in Long Island Sound
active and direct methods are prac-
ticed for increasing the supply, and
natural beds are but q small factor" /"

horticultural commissioner should not let
these charges of Stark Bros. go unanswered.
The Ranch contends that such highland
cd methods are contrary to the original pur-
pose for which the law was created. 1t is
now costing this state about $4oooo annual
ly, as against 81 500 few years ago, to run

government This sum is expended in
payroll for pseudo self-styled professors,
politicians, ETC., who operate on the free-for-
all, -as-you-please, very-fellow-for-him-
self plan. What good they accomplish we
are at loss to know. 1t seems that this
inspectorshp system is not only practically
without value, but is actually working
against the best development of our horti-
cultural interests by shutting out Eastern
competition, and compelling the fruit grow
ers to buy their trees from local nurseries
at much higher prices

clude three divisions, namely:
What is known as domestic science" or

or subjects relating to clothing; domestic

This work will be required of all girl STU

be requirement for graduation. The adj

they will be given an education along prac
