THE WIFE OF THE MIkADo.
Her Name Is Haruko and She Belongs
to One Of the Modest Fam
lilies Of Japan.

The empress Of Japan, Haruk0 (pop-
ularly named the Empress Spring"),
Is daughter Ct the noble house of Ich-
igo. one of the fine families of great
kuge, or court personages, from which
mikado may choose his consort. Until
her eighteenth year, when she was
chosen by her sovereign, she was brought
up In the strictest seclusion in the old
capital, Kioto, and received the custom
airy education Of daughter of princely
daimio
Great pains were taken to teach her
literature, to develop her artistic taste
and to school her in the writing Of grace
full il inane verse.
She is 81 years old, year older than
her husband. Having no children of her
own, she is content to see the son of
megah. or concubine. reared as the heir
to the crown. and to recognize him as her
1utur4 lord, If she survives her husband.
Monogamy is now the rule in Japan,
and the next mikado will probably be
the last of left-handed birth to reign.
The present emperor is likewise meg
axis son.
Empress SPRING has been truly a
helpmeet and an inspiration to her hus-
band.
She caused the first Japanese girls to
be sent to America, In 1871, to acquire
western learning. She suggested the
founding of the national normal school,
and patronized the establishment of the
japanese Red Cross society. She gives
money, time and care to charitable
works, visiting the hospitals. especially
that for women and children, in Toxic.
where she distributes toys and luxuries.
She has no companion in the seclusion
OF her own apartments in the palace Of
Tokugawa. Here she wears the ma
tional costume. in dark-colored silks.
Her apartments are simple. in the style
of old Japan, with beautiful lacquered
furniture. The floor is covered with
spotless white mating. on which she
sits or squats. Her rooms open into
those Of the emperor.
The state apartments are furnished in
European style. The palace, built in
1889, is in the old native style Of archi-
lecture, but is equipped with the mod
ern improvements" familiar to the west

Cclored Umbrella at Last.

Are colored umbrellas really to make
their appearance? There is no doubt
that in its present form the umbrella is
the ugljest and most inartistic dress
item we possess, not even excepting
mans tall hat. The Japanese have
shown us what it is possible to do with
it. but somehow our fashion mongera
have never learned anything from them.
However, this spring our hopes are
again revived that we are to be emanci-
pated from the tyranny of the dark para
pluie.-London World.

quette is so complicated that these ladies
spend a seven-years' apprenticeship to
learn their duties. Each has her own
apartment and even her own cook.
The New York World says that the
woman of present-day Japan lives under
far more liberal laws than her mother
did. There is now law for divorce by
mutual consent Women lecturers are
not unknown. Children of both sexes
are educated together in the primary
schools, thing that horrifies conserva-
tive grandmothers. There are women
lawyers in Toxic, and although their en-
trance into the medical profession is
frowned upon, that prejudice will give
way in time.
Not only have many Japanese women
adopted the European costume, but some
even wear trousers.

BEFORE THE START.

Stay. you that proudly plan to dare
And you that seek to do:
before You hurry forth to try
10 proudly plant your standard high,
An honest word with you.
Who seeks to raise himself above
The level of the crowd
Must drag through many slough of woe
AND suffer many binding blow
And oftasit humbly bowed. ::
For every little gain he makes
Who tries to take the lead
a hundred disappointments leave
Their impress on him; to achieve
The heart must often bleed.
Stay. you that plan to gain renown
Or play splendid part:
Ten thousand sore discouragements
Upon your heart shall leave their dents
Before you get start.

what ST. Gall and Plauen have been plan

A new feature, and one that you will
notice very quickly, is the tendency towards
very light, fine nets, sprinkled with plump
little balls or buttons, sometimes in figure,
sometimes put on in rows.
Aliovers play a very important part because
they are needed for so many whole blouses and
enormous undersleeves. And there good
