JAPANESE FLOWER BOOK.
Pretty Volume Containing Instruc- tive Illustrations for Do-
 mestic Use.

A nice little Japanese woman who came to this country recently brought with her one of the most important of the educational works upon which she was brought up-this is her book of flowers. Japanese women are being better educated now, but heretofore they have been taught little but the etiquette of the country, what was necessary for them to know concerning household du- ties, little music--to strum little on the samisen-and the arrangement of flowers. This last, says the New York Times, is important In a country where a single branch does duty for what an American would require big bouquet, and where the cherry trees are cultivated not for their fruit, but for the beautiful blossoms. She is an ignorant damsel indeed who cannot make poem of 8 single branch of any Towering plant at her command.
 It Is to illustrate for her how this is to be done that the flower book is neces- sary. It is pamphlet of 52 pages with a flexible blue cover, the title on the right-hand corner. The contents are read, as in all Japanese books, from right to left. The first cover page Is red, with large black letters, four pages after that are devoted to text and the rest of the book is given up to the illus irations.
 Each page shows flower in some kind of low jar or tall vase. and resting upon graceful stand, some high and oth- CTS very low, all more or less graceful In shape. delicate in outline, and, as 8 rule, with curving legs. These repeat the curves of the flower stalk, which out line half circles, curves with which we are familiar in this country in the more exaggerated outlines of the Japanese miniature trees.
 On each page is little text. poem appropriate for the illustration. Wall panels are in the background with their decorations of storks and the Japanese sacred mountain showing the general decorations of a room.
 Only one hanging pot is shown in the book. This is a graceful boat-shaped vessel with decoration of flying bats. There Is a single vine in it, one short branch rising above the boat and only a single one below, though it is formed of two, one twined around the other to obtain the single effect. It shows the same curves that are to be seen in the plants. These are not difficult to ob- tain, the tender branches being tied into a position which they keep as they grow older. This flower book is said to be centuries old, was originally Chinese, and introduced to the Japanese by the older nations which gradually forgot the delicate art for which the Jap is now famous.

NANTUCKET, R. l., Aug. 2T.-An au- tomobile owned and operated by Ben jamin A. Hawkins of Saylesville and also containing his wife and two two daughters exploded here, and the younger child, Medga, aged seven years, was probably fatally burned. The others escaped uninjured. The ac- cident was due to the breaking of the chain, which tore a hole in the gasoline tank, allowing the gasoline to come in contact with the spark. An explosion was followed by a sheet of flame that enveloped the machine. The automo- bile was wrecked.

KICKED SPOOL INTO THE CUTTER. once played on a woman. She was 8 chronic offender. Two or three times q week she would harass a half dozen salesgirls an hour or more, and finally buy, and order delivered. paper of needles or quarter of yard of rib- bon.
 ''So the man decided to make an ex- ample of her.
 "One afternoon, after her usual shopping excursion, there drove up to her door huge dray, drawn by four horses, and containing six brawny, bare-armed laborers.
 "A crowd collected It was thought an enormous safe was to be moved.
 ''The woman stood at her front door. The laborers laid heavy plank from the wagon to the sidewalk, and then. with many, loud grunts of effort, they rolled barrel fashion on to the plank and thence down to the street a tiny spool of cotton thread They carried the thread painfully to the woman 8 doorstep, and there, after desperate struggle, they up-ended 1t.
 "Then they departed The woman kicked the spool into the gutter imme- diately, but this action on her part only made more pleasing to the neigh bors the little joke that had been played on her"

CHEAP TRIPS TO BuRoPE.
Costs Less to Travel Than to Stay at
 Home.


 Home.
 As the travelling season draws near thoughts of lands beyond the sea, with their wealth of historic memory, and artistic present rise up to allure us. A summer in Europe has the greatest fascination, the stronger and better developed in the mentality of the tray eler and the better is she fitted for it's enjoyment. But many of the very women who would most appreciate the advantages to be gained by such a trip whose time allows for ft--the teacher with her long vacation, the writer who does her work at home, the artist and others of that uk-~dare not venture into the unknown for fear of the item of expense. And yet 1t is just as cheap, if not cheaper, if one has three or four months at ones dis posal to spend the time travelling in Europe. 1t is much cheaper than any trip in America can be that demands long railway journeys and much hotel sojourn. It is only the unknown that alarms; if one knows the ropes it is so delightfully."- cheap to travel in Eu- rope that 1t is worth the price of the one great item of cost, the steamship trip. to try it. To travel In Europe so as to secure the maximum of profit that must be learned by experience, the experience being acquired usually by a quite unnecessary outlay on the first trip.
 A few hints to the wise from one who has studied the problem from all sides will aid, however, in reducing the price of experience considerably for those who have not yet tried it. na oJxx 4nnJTs sis.% parties, but while not belittling the ex- cellence of that institution, I am speaking now for such women as pre. fer their own company and that of one or two congenial companions and slow wandering where the fancy dictates to the rushing in hor1es about the main travelled roads.
 A party of two or four can manage delightful summer trip to almost any part of Europe on an outlay smaller than they themselves would think possible until they have tried It. Naturally, the longer they stay, the greater the saving, for the largest item, the steamer fare, does not begin to pay for itself until after one has enjoyed a month or so of the cheaper 1 living i'll Europe.
 A vacation of four weeks spent be- tween London and Paris and the time necessary for the voyages could hard 1 ly be managed for less than $25, al though it could be managed nicely for that but $600 would give you six months of pleasant living and agree able travelling about Europe, without any more hardships than little care | ful management and rememb bering cer- l tain details wherein life abroad dir- fers from life in America.

 POLL IS |. @
wHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME.

A large and thoroughly interested audience are witnessing "Why Girls Leave Home" this afternoon at Polls and the play, which is one of the .most picturesque melodramas brough. |out last season, is expected to attract another large audience this evening. The story of the play, which is con eistent and coherent throughout and wholesome as we'll, is of a wilful girl beguiled into questionable pleas ures by man of the world. A hot headed elder brother, sweetheart, a sister and mother, who do not under stand the girl, take q part and com plicate the situation by misunder- standings. There is a great deal of emotional work as well as many ex- citing scenes, while the comedy inter- }spersed throughout the action of the play is of the side-splitting sort. The play is mounted on an elaborate scale and an admirable cast has been selected to interpret the several characters. Prices are 25, 35 and 30 cents.
