When New York society doesn't know
what else to do it goes abroad. An
ambitious woman gets wind of some
rivals intended function. Not to be
invited or not to be seen among the
guests means a slight easily endured
If the world be not cognizant of the
fact, but intolerant If it is; therefore
the ambitious woman sails away to
Europe. She may not be gone six
weeks, but her absence is thus to be
accounted for In other cases it is
known that society takes this absent
treatment to cure heart troubles, to es-
cape social obligations that weigh too
heavily on the income or, again, from
sheer ennui it departs. This restless
ness Of certain sets in society would
be dangerous were it not for the safety
valve which that really overworked

years. When all else fails, go to Eu-

JAPANESE FARMERS.


II the Mans Lot Be Hard, His Wife,s
IL still Harder.
If the lot Of japanese farmer be
hard, that of his wife is infinitely hard
err. She not only does an equal amount
of labor in the field, but the care of the
household and the responsibility of the
children also rest upon her shoulders.
From earliest infancy Japanese
girl is taught to be obedient to her
parents and when she is about to be
married her mother gives her thirteen
rules by which to steer her bark on
the rugged sea of Japanese married
life. Among them are the following:
"Be always kind to your mother-in-
law and sisters-in-law." "Get up early,
stay up late at night and do not take
a nap in the daytime" BE good
housekeeper, be economical in every
thing" 1t is well for the happiness Of
the girl who is about to become
farmers wife that the last two COM
she is prepared to regulate her life by
them.
The first to rise, she Is sure to be the
last to retire, and when the male mem
bers of the family may be seen stretch
ed on the floor taking their siesta the
patient housewife may be seen mend
ing some garment or else laboring in
the field. 1t is scarcely necessary,
however, to train her to be economical,
for that is compulsory.
Before the farmer has awakened
from his heavy sleep his little wife
creeps from under the mosquito net,
and, performing hasty toilet, prepares
the morning meal. When the other
members of the family arise, the beds,
which are heavy quilts placed on the
floor. are carefully rolled up by the
busy housewife and placed in the
closet, there to remain until again re-
quired.
As there is so little furniture used In
a Japanese house, and especially in that
of peasant, one would naturally think
that the domestic duties would be very
light. Such, however, is not the case.
When the bedding has been removed,
the meal is then served in the same
room. All the members of the family
squat en- the floor. The millet or rice.
which is the principal and oftentimes
only article of diet, is brought in in
wooden bucket, and the wife ladies' 1t
out, serves her husband first and often
times waits until the whole family has
finished before she partakes Of the food
herself.
When the husband has gone to the
field the wife removes the dishes and
washes them, together with any pots
that may have been used at the neigh
boring well or in the stream that flows
just outside her cottage door. These
canals or streams are great labor
saving institution In Japan and are
used for many and varied purposes.
The farmer. tired and dirty after his
days work, refreshes and cleanses
himself by plunge into the running
water. AS one travels through the
country at one point one may see
woman doing the family washing in
the stream. Farther down the road
the tired, travel stained pilgrim may
be seen refreshing his weary feet by
LAYING them in the same water. At
other points travellers slake their thirst.

American Dealers Pay Good Price.
for Skins Of Various
Animals. 5

An American company is very lib
eral in offering high prices for furs OF
various kinds here. The prices recently
offered were $5.4 for foxes ands23 cents
for squirrels. At such prices the mer-
chants will naturally stop the t~ranspor-
tation of furs to Irbit and other places
of fur trade. From the T~ransbaikal
province comes the news that sable
hunting during the past winter has been
a great success. The number Of sable
skins on hand Is larger than in any Of
the preceding seasons. Buyers avail
themselves of this abundance and offer
the hunters very low prices The aver
aeg price paid to the hunters is from
$12.88 to $15.45. The buyers expect to
make 800 per cent. profit on the pur-
chased sables. The high price of furs
for the past few years has attracted for
eign merchants to this region. An
American from New York came via
Irkutsk early in the season and visited
the whole maritime coast. He purchased
chiefly sables. paying from $1S.03 to
1882 per piece, purchasing in all, it
is said, 81, $50 worth. He got ahead
OF the English and Russian buyers. The
Russian merchants arrived on the first
steamer, the Soongari, but they could
get only a small number at the auction.
Even here the enterprising American
outbid them. Squirrels were sold at 80
cents each.

Production Of Areon,

The Paris chemist, Henri Moissan,
aided by another chemist, has found q
new method for producing argon. the
component part Of the atmospheric air.
the discovery Of which by Lord Rayleigh
and Prof. Ramsay some years ago ere
ated quite a sensation. The gas areon
is contained in very infinitesimal guam
titles in the air, and on account of the
difficult! of obtaining it it could never
be thoroughly examined. Moissan OBJ
tains it from the air by passing the same
through q red-hot tube filed with spirals
Of copper. In this manner the y e Of
the air is taken up and the gas emanating
from the tube consists OF nitrogen and
argon.1 The nitrogen is then taken up
for the most part by a mixture OF nag
nesium and lime. and the remainder BY
calcium heated to a red heat. In this
manner it has been possible to obtain
a quart Of argon in one day. Thus a way
has been found to examine it chemically,
