same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.

easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack

WHERE NERVES ARE UNKNOWN.

The women of Japan, in contrast
to their Occidental sisters, have long
been noted for their perfect poise
and self-possession. Their placidity
under what would ordinarily be con-
sldered trying circumstances has sur
prised American tourists. Patent
medicines guaranteed to cure ner-
vousness in its many forms have little
sale in Japan. The meaning of the
term "nervous prostration" is un.
known. japanese physicians are rare
ly rich.
An explanation of this happy state
Oh affairs has been made by returned
traveller. "To begin WITH" says he,
"there is never any change in fash.
ions, so the japanese woman has no
worries at all on that score. Then.
housekeeping is greatly simplified.
so the Japanese housekeeper is hurt
by none of the jars and frets that
rag the nerves and prematurely ace
her Western sister. The Japanese
house has not draperies, no dust traps
IN the shape of superfiuos ornaments.
People all put off their shoes on en-
tering the house, so no mud and dirt
are brought in. Japanese women
have no heart-burnings over euchre
prizes and bridge stakes. They
never have to compose club papers
on subjects concerning which they
know nothing. They never sit up
nights planning how they may out
shine their rivals in dress at some
social affair. They do not bother
their brains with schemes for marry-
ing their daughters to rich foreigners.
They never have to give eight.course
dinners with two-course pocketbooks.
They live simple, happy, peaceful
domestic lives, and live them long,"
While one would be sorry to see
American women restrict their lives
to the narrow sphere of the Japanese.
there is no doubt that three-fourths
OF their nervous worry is caused by
"trying to do too much" Simplicity
is the keynote of sanity and health,
and American men as we'll as women
may we'll profit by the example of
the happy Japanese.

to fall, and we cannot see what is to
be gained on the part of the Russian
commander by holding out until his
gallant men have sacrificed their
lives in a hopeless struggle. 1t is un-
fair to his own men and to the
helpless inhabitants of Port Arthur,
and in one sense it is unfair to the
Japanese. The Japs are ready. We
takeit, to offer honorable terms of sur
render, aud they should not be COM
PEELED to slaughter men, and possibly
women and children, who are now in
their power.
We have often remarked that in
our view General Lee was grander at
Appopattox than upon any occasion
of his triumphs. He knew that he
could proIong the war; he knew that
his men would stand 10y him until
the last one had fallen; he knew that
he could, by retreating into the noun
tains, keep up desultory fight for
long time to come, and that he
could annoy and distress the enemy
indefinitely. But he saw that further
struggle was useless; he saw that the
cause was lost, aid having made up
his mind to that effect he determined
that there should be no further sac
rifice of life. He fought as long
as there was hope, but be knew when
the time to surrender had come, and
he was courageous enough and noble
enough to give up the struggle.
1t was this trait of character which
differentiated him from the ambiti-
GUS military men of other days, who
fought for their own fame and glory,
and which distinguished him as one
of natures noblemen. He was great
soldier, and gave abundant evidence
of his military genius, of his courage
and of his fighting qualities on many
a field of battle. But he was more
than this; he was Il great man, great
and good and uDselfish, never think
ing of himself, never seeking to ex-
plot himself, fighting only for prin-
clple and for cause which was dear
to his heart, but keeping always in
view as his rule of conduct his fam
ous saying that duty is the sublimest
word. The commander who fights
to the last ditch and refuses to sur
render calls for admiration, for such
courage and pluck are admirable.
But greater to be admired is the
nobleman who has the moral courage
to sacrifice personal ambition for the
sake of humanity. 1t is sometimes
nobler to yield than to fight.

SUCH orders were never heard before
10y these young sailors, so all of them
assembled on the bridge" to watch
the proceedings.
The boats were lowered, the net
spread and Capt. Jesse Die gave
orders from the striker boat, swiftly
and decisively. In a short time
haul was made and Otis Crowther
quickly directed the Tangier towards
the net, which was soon fastened
securely to the raj of the boat. A
huge net, used for baling aud mani
puiated by means of pulley, was
then lowered amongst the fish under
the directions of Capt. Jesse Die.
What a magnificent sight was pre-
sented to those on the bridge who
looked on breathIessly as the enor-
nous bale slowly assembled and poised
directly over the hold. Thousands
upon thousands of beautiful fish
happed over each other as they were
emptled over the floor of the hold.
A silvery, glittering sheen appeared,
writhing and twisting into beautiful
forms and shapes. Again and again
was the bale lowered, and never was
such scene witnessed by the glrls.
They were entranced, aud as hauls
were made later in the day their
interest increased tenfold.
After supper very enjoyable time
ensued, the young men being at
leisure to devote themselves to their
fair visitors. Many favonte songs
were sung as the Tangier steamed |
homeward, where she arrived at s |
p. IN. The young folks came ashore
after profusely thanking Capt. ,Toe
for his treat.
A look was taken at the fish |
factory elevator, after which the
crowd started for the OK cart. Now
the oxen had been turned iuto an
hundred-acre field and the owner in
his anxiety had taken the yoke from
them and hidden it. Imagine the
CONSERVATION of the party when the
oxen could not be found. A search
was instituted, but all of no avail; so
at last in dismay they started out to
walk home escorted by Capt Bud
BusseIls, of the Wacker and Willard
Sandford. Evelyn Shehigh and Lottie
Houchens fingered behind with the
vain hope of yet riding home aud
they were not disappointed, for across
the field fioated the welcome voice of
Capt. Jesse Die, as he drove those
stubborn oxen. Those two girls
pitched In" to help, and in short
order those brutes were yoked and
the start for home made. At last
the crowd were overtaken, footsore
aud weary, but nevertheless laughing
heartily over the experience as they
homeward-where they
arrived safe and sound.
