Mikado and
Japan
Some Queer Things About Them
Both That Are Worth knowing.

The title "Mikado' given by the Jap
anese to their Emperor is a very an
cient one and means THE Honorable
Gate.
In diplomatic papers the Emperor is
not referred to as Mikado. but as Ko-
tel.
The Mikados of Japan claim their
descent can be traced back farther
than that of any living rulers of the
present day. They trace their lineage
back in an unbroken line to the EN-
peror Jimmu, who lived 700 years be-
fore Christ appeared on earth.
The 4.500 mobiles of Japan are divid-
ed into the classes of imperial princes,
princes and marquises, counts, vis-
counts and barons.
The next highest class is composed of
persons who are nominated members
of the House of Peers for their learn
ing or for their meritorious services
to the state.
A Japanese must be 25 years old be-
fore he may vote.
The Empire is divided into districts
called Flu and Ken. These districts
are sub-divided into counties called
Gun, and the municipalities In the
counties are CdlleQ Snl.
In every county there are a sheriff
and a county council who manage To-
cal affairs.
The Imperial family consists of fif-
ty-three members, and when a census
is taken, these fifty-three persons are
always enumerated separately.
There are about two millions of per-
sons in Japan who are still designated
as knights. These are the men who
used to be the retainers of the feudal
chiefs or daimos.
Japan has absolute freedom of re-
ligion, and there are more than one
thousand Roman Catholic, Greek and
Protestant churches there. There are
$4,000 Buddhist temples in the Empire
A queer thing about Japan is that
the state and local authorities sup
port a large number of shrines dedi-
Gated to the emperors and to merito-
rious citizens. These are not at all
religious in significance, but purely pa
triotic. One hundred and ninety-four
thousand of them are scattered
throughout the land.
The men of Japan must all serve in
the army. After they quit it they
form an emergency reserve called
"landwehr" and "landsturm." These
names are not Japanese, but German.
The same body of men is called by the
same title in that country. Land
wehr'' means land Defense" and
"landstrum' means ''laIZ Storm
Japan's biggest exports are to the
United States. China comes next
Her biggest imports are from Great
Britain. The United States follows.
One third of the railways of Japan
are owned and operated by the gov
ernment, and the other two-thirds are
owned by private corporations

are 5, 10 and 20 yen gold pieces.
In silver the pieces represent sens.

Mrs. Fry could have seen him with

was not an imbecile in any sense.
Though a silent man, he was of average

Scrubbin' of his hands," as Mrs. Fry
said; though he could read and write
with difficulty,-there was something
winning about the mans manner, ap-
peallng insensibly to the feminine
heart. The foreman at the mill, too,
took note of his work, and advanced
him in a way that savored of favor
itism.
Indeed there was a marked pecul-
liarity about the man that after
time called attention to him. His skill
in detecting and righting a defect in
machinery, in putting his hand un-
erringly on the exact spot and de-
vising makeshifts till proper repairs
could be made, was simply marvellous;
particularly, when taken in connection
with his statement that he knew little
about such work until he came to
Grovedale.

LARGEST DIAMOND.
Weighed Nearly 1000 Carats and
Had to he Broken Up.

Had to he Broken Up.
From South Africa.
In jewelers. circles great interest has
been awakened by the announcement
that cutting operations have been COM
menced on the great Jagersfontein Ex-
celsior, the largest and finest diamond
in the world. The stone was held for
ten years before its owner made sat-
isfactory arrangements for it's cutting,
which has now been undertaken by
firm in Amsterdam, Holland. IT was
transported from London to Amster-
dam under special police protection,
and a carpeted room, with a specially
made safe, has been provided for its
care during the progress of cutting
and polishing. The responsibility of
handling and guarding so precious a
stone may be gathered from the fact
that its value may be almost anything.
When discovered it was estimated to
be worth $1,000,000, but in it's finished
state 1t Will command a fabulous price.
The story of the discovery of this
wonderful gem is of no little interest.
1t was found on June 30, 1893, at ia
gersfontein. in the Orange Free State,
South Africa. The stone was picked
up by native while he was loading
a truck, and although a white over
seer was standing near him, he man.

person for some time. In this case,
however, 1t did not appear that he pro-
posed stealing the gem, but only wish
ed to deliver ii personally to the man.
ager. This he did. and as a bonus
he received $3.50 and a horse. saddle
and bride. The diamond weighed in
the rough exactly 971A carats, or about
l-3 ounces avoirdupois. 1t is Of a
beautiful blush white color, and shaped
like the broken-off end Of an iclcle.
The diamond-iferous monster measures
three inches In length. one and one
half inches In thickness, two and one
half inches In greatest and one and
one-third inches In least breadth. The
Excelsior has now been broken into
sixteen pieces, the three largest OF
which are i5s. i7 and 1870 carats, re-
spectiyely. These individual gems, IN
themselves OF extraordinary size, will
be, when fully cut and polished. among
the finest IN the world, and the value
OF the original stone Will thus be null
tiplied.

roar at regular intervals that set the
big ship trembling.
We were coming closer to the tar
get now and the firing increased.
Slowly we passed it. Those gun crews
not engaged in firing stood stolidly by
their guns, staring fixedly at the tar
get. Their excitement had passed
the faces were as expressionless as
thac of the average Chinaman when he
overcharges for the wash.
Pulled in the Target.
Suddenly the firing ceased. The en-
gines below were still; we were drift
ing up toward the target. A boat was
lowered and pulled toward it, paying
out a line. the end of which was fast
ened to the buoy. The boat returned,
was noiselessly hoisted, then a winch
licked and pulled in the buoy, hosting
it aboard aft. Its white sails were
much torn and bedraggled, and the
steel buoy seemed not to have escaped
either.
Again the engines began throbbing
and the green hills about the harbor
mouth rose on both bows. In half
an hour the Yashimas anchor cable
was rafting out, and she swung
around with the tide. A launch with
the imperial Japanese flag approach
ed from shore. Again the boS'n's
whistles piped the men to quarters. A
salute was to be fired.
On the ford bridge the captain stood
on the port side. He gave a barely
audible command. A gun in a turret
below him fired. Then he turned and
walked leisurely across the bridge to
the starboard side, as though counting
his steps. When he reached the other
end Of the bridge he barely stopped
again, another command, and a gun OH
the starboard side fired. Thus he paced
his bridge, to and fro, and each time
he reached the end of turn a gun
below him belched out a fiery salute
to the parsonage approaching in the
launch. Thus. the captain timed the
intervals between each shot by the
PAGES he took on the bridge.
l suppose the little chap with the
thin gray beard who came aboard was
some rear admiral stationed ashore,
but the ceremonial reception given him
would have sufficed for the Milxado
himself. While he marched up one
gangway, l crept down another, with
the message for my captain in my
pocket, addressed in neat Spencerian
handwriting and in English.

In the Louisville Jail lies a young
man under sentence of death for the
murder of William Goebel, who died
Governor of Kentucky, four years ago.
The prisoner is Caleb Powers. Since
his arrest in March, 1900, Powers has
not known an hour of liberty. Three
times he has been tried for this crime;
three times convicted; two of the con-
victions condemning him to life inn
prisonment, and the last condemning
him to be hanged.
situation well-nigh hopeless he has
faced each day with the unfailing
front of hope. Conditions that would
have broken down ninety-nine out of
hundred of even the most hardened
criminals have failed to weaken the
courage or undermine the self-control
of this young man of 49, When l saw
him in the Louisville jail, there was
nothing in his appearance or bearing
to indicate his long ordeal. He is a
fine type of the mountaineer; tall,
slenderly but strongly built, with a
clear and open face, an eye that looks
straight into yours, a high and broad
forehead and set chin and mouth in
which the lines of youth have har-
dened into grim resolution. and endur-
ance OF his own attitude toward the
case he had nothing to say, beyond the
simple asseveration of innocence.

convicted Jim Howard" he added, with

AMERICAN WOMEN
Are Not a Race of InvaIids

E&NHE American woman is the finest
XG& specimen Of femininity in the
vSgH world. Before our War of the
~ Rebellion women were spoken
Of as delicate, to-day the health
Of our women is growing better instead
Of worse. The poorly developed woman
is the exception nowadays rather than
the rule. Watch the army of shop-girls
going to work any day and notice what
good healthy looking lot they are
usually. Attending parties, dances,
wearing un-hygienic clothing and eating
indigestible foods does much more harm
TO the health Of the young American
girl than does a reasonable amount Of
study. Health and physical exercise is
the fashion to-day. Good outdoor exer-
else in the pure air and sunshine hurts
no one unless they are too delicate 10
stand the fatigue Of excessive exercise.
For the business man or woman, the
housewife, the young maiden AZ school,
DR. r. v. Pierce has this 20 say: eThe
importance Of womanly health Is being
daily better understood. Women should
get All the sunshine and good air posi-
