MANASSAS MILITIA MANfuvFRS
The War Department Has Reduced
the Time Of Encampment from
Fifteen to Six Days.

Owing TO the limited duration OF
the national encampment OF militia
of the various States at Manassas,
Va, it will be impossible for the
entire force of Florida State troops
to take part in that important event
Only the most proficient companies
in military tactics and discipline will
therefore have an opportunity OF par
ticipating in the affair, and to this
end the pride of Daytona, the Hall
fax Rifles, are exerting themselves
to their utmost to be one of the
chosen companies.
Adlutant- General Foster has been
officially notified by the AdJutant-
General of the United States army
that the proposed encampment for
State and Federal troops at Manassas
will be for SIX days only instead of
| fifteen as originally intended
This announcement has been re-
cei,ed with surprise and disappoint-
ment by the rank and file of the
Florida State troops, especially by
the members of those organizations
who expected to make the trip
Florida's allotment tothe emcarup-
ment at Manassas is only 100 and it
was originally General Fosters IN
tentlon to have 700 of the Florida
troops 90 to Manassas for seven DAYS
and then give an equal number an
opportunity to go into camp for an
other week In this manner 1t was
intended to give all of the companies
of the State an opportunity to par
tlclpate in the maneuvcrs.
Under the new arrangement of
the War Department 1t will only give
700 men al opportunity to visit the
camp, for it Will be useless to divide
the State contingent for six-days
camp.
1t is General Fosters intentions
to have the State troops go INTO
camp at some point III the State dur
ing the month of August, and the
organizations proving the most eff
cIent in every particular on this
camp will be selected for the Manas-

Japan has never been priest-ridden,
hence the almost marvellous ease with
which it has been able to adapt itself
to the changing necessities of the
times. There is no fanaticism in
Japan. It's priests are teachers, most
ly peripatetic: they expound the prin-
ciples of Shinto, or the sacred book
Of Shaka, but they are not custo-
dams of the japanese conscience and
masters of his actions, as the Guru is
of the Hindoo. There are thousands
of Shinto. shrines and. temples scat:

Of almost every road. But they SYM

Here is real Japan, in all it's truth
and purity, and here the real Japanese,

breathing, whom we of the western
world know nothing of. lives his sim:
pie life and dies his simple death.
For that is the keynote of Japanese
character-simplicity. And it brings
goddess in it's train-beauty, the
handmaiden of nature.
Many are the curious customs, Gu
rious to us, which are matters of COM
mon habit in Japan. Up to late years
the facial charm of femininity has
been rigidly restricted to the young
and unmarried, for after the we'd
ding ceremony the bride, as a mark
Of honor to her husband, must blacken
her teeth and shave her eyebrows
But even this, an immemofial OBJ
servance, is yielding to the advance
Of knowledge and the reports of the

The visitor, especially one who has
sojourned in India, China, and other
eastern places, is at once struck by the
extreme cleanliness Of Japanese cities,
by the entire absence of beggars in the
streets, and Of those degraded crea-
lures who swarm in the great CAPT
tails. The street cries are all melo.
dious, and the avoidance of noise is
everywhere the first consideration.

the skirt is to hang and fit well. There
must be no resemblance to the old time
gored skirt. The folds must fall in
straight lines, changing gracefully with
every movement of the body, yet the
extreme fulness beginning high above
the knee, just below the hips in fact, must
swell to still greater dimensions at the
foot.
In some instances, particularly in the
case of the frilled or flounced skirts,
this effect is achieved by circular
founce of great depth set upon top also
somewhat circular in cut, but less far
ing. The Jennings must be hidden under
stirring, putting, ruching or some other
trimming, and this trimming must be
repeated above or below the line of
union so that no suggestion of the added
founce may be given.
Flounces are not fashionable, but they
must be frankly full flounces, often cut
altogether on the straight and many
with outstanding headings Of corded
shirring, putting, etc. The circular
flounce as a scheme for attaining cor
rect skirt lines is regarded as a confess
sion of inability to obtain the result
in a more skillful way, and so is not to be
acknowledged.
Where skirt yokes are used at all, they
are shallow and consist of lines of corded
shirring, shocking or gauging. Occa-
sionally one sees yoke effects in vertical
tucks or plaits, but this is, as a rule a
concession to some special heaviness or
stiffness of material

While the latest skirts are fulled or

Paris, many devices are contrived to les

serve a somewhat clinging effect at that
point. A series Of sharp cores in the
skirt top are employed by some of the
great dressmakers.
These extend to a point below the
hip line, where the ample fulness be-
gins; but the cores lessen the amount of
material to be fulled or plated into the
band, and the skirt top may be fulled
slightly at the waist line and still avoid
any awkward excess of material at the
band or over the hips.
In soft lightweight materials for early

essary, though even here careful cut

The Japanese deities are as kindly

themselves. Their story of the crea:

elements of slaughter and dissension
which are the groundwork in other
Hydrologic accounts of the same

names may be shortened to Izanagi
and 1zanami), standing upon the
bridge of Heaven, cast grains of rice
abroad to dispel the darkness. They
then pushed spear down into the
green plain of the sea, and stirred it
round. This spear became the axis
of the earth, started it revolving, and
by a natural process of consolidation

Der company had arrived.
Things hummed. Though it cost
$4,000 more to construct than was
first estimated, the little railroad was
put through. Hundreds of carloads
of material were brought in-heavy
machinery, an army of workmen. The
site for the mill was selected, the
superabundant granite put to some
use for foundation work, and when
the lumber and machinery arrived

accustomed to roofs, and Immediately
labor on shelters was begun. But
difficulties were many; there was the
deep forest to weed out, the stubborn
granite rock to scatter. Cutting and
blasting went strenuously on and, be-

up; careful, well-built ones many of
