japanese Traits.

Paris Letter to London Truth
The Japanese who study in schools of the
faculties at Saint-Cyr and in naval building
yards are models of unassuming polite de-
portment-reserved and yet not stiff eva
sive rather than aloof, not disposed for init
mate friendship. and afraid of treading on
feet. They give no trouble to any one,
show ant-like application to their business,
whatever it may be. They chat prettily
when they have TO talk, saying no more
than what they want to say, and always in
a gentle tone. Their government gives
scholarships to enable students to go
abroad. The number who go to America
increases, and it appears that Japanese
young ladies flock to girls colleges in the
United States. But few come here.
The light of nature evidently leads young

mankind took care not to tempt Unitarians.
because he wanted to use them as decoy
ducks to draw true believers to perdition I
suppose that he uses the japanese who
study in the Quarter Latin for the same
purpose, as they seem under no temptation
to commit those gross sins to which youth
of their age are inclined. Like the chick.

of life and need only technical instruction.

Old and New Aids to Beauty.

"a SounteSS III LONDON outlook.
OF course, there is nothing new in the cult
of beauty; the only novelty lies in the ex-
travagant fashion in which new inventions
are applied to it. Electric baths and vibra-
ton treatment may be innovations, but Co.'S
metics and medicated baths date from the
earliest age Women lave always aspired
to be beautiful, and have painted their faces
and tired their heads since time i'm
memorial and in all countries. The geisha
of Japan changes the color of her lips three
,ines IN one evening, and no little Japanese
lady ever misses an opportunity of whip
ping out the rouge pot and mirror which
FORM an indispensable part of her toilet.
Among the recipes which have come down
TO US from our ancestresSes are many pre-
scriptions for the complexion composed of
marshmalloW and wax, honey of roses and
owe Oil. Mixed bathing in tubs of water
thickened with scented bran and salutary
herbs was the fashion in medieval France
and recalled the days of Roman luxury
Fapor baths date from an even earlier
PERIOD and one wonders if there is any nos
trum today for the preservation of beauty
which was not known to those professional
beauties of France, DDiane de Poitiers and
Ninon de PEnclos.
The question is Are women really any
more admired today for being steamed and
smeared and electrified? Is any attraction
worth having which is obtained by the pain
full and expensive methods we read of? I
doubt it. Nobody is really taken in by the
artificially manufactured beauty.
1t is the duty of every woman to make the
best of herself. Certain defects of complex
ion and figure can be easily remedied Ply
steal exercises, fresh air and good diet will
work wonders with those and by the addi-
ton of smart dressmaker, millner and
clever hairdresser many a plain girl has
been transformed into a pretty one If a
woman's nose is inclined to absorb too
much color and her cheeks too little no
doubt few judieious dabs of powder and
rouge in the right places may be excusable

important part In the early work Of the In
dependence Club. When filled with fears of
assassination, just after the murder Of his
queen, the Emperor Of Korea put not a

sionary and taken secretly to the palace.
On the occasion of riot on Thanksgiving

Our inside Track.
There is something splendid in the mere
fact that America has taken no advantage
of the inside track that she has secured
in Korea to gain political power. Her re-
fusal to take such advantage has given her
almost the power that others have desired;
and it would be small surprise to the well
informed in far eastern politics If Ameri-
cans should possess an influence in storm
tossed Korea which, irrespective of the out
come of any war between Russia and ia
pan. should for one thing, put a serious
prohibition on Russian advance in that di-
rection 1t would be interesting If Ameri-
can influence in Korea should be the real
power that Russia should find in Korea
when she raps at the door again.
Note-Indeed, there is a treaty, in force
since 1883, between Korea and the United
States, a clause of which reads as follows:
If other powers deal unjustly Or OPP
preSSlvely with either government, the
other will exert it's good offices, on being
informed of the case, to bring about an
am1cable arrangement, thus showing their
friendly Standardization
