Shopping In Japan.

Japanese ceremoniousness makes II q
serious matter going to Japanese shop
unless you are going to buy silk hand
kerchiefs-the only things foreigners
buy often enough to spoil the manners
of the shopkeeper. You get out Of your
rickshaw, and the rickshaw boy ex-
plains your high and mightiness. Then
oil the attendants in the shop salaam till
you wish they would get up and let
you catch their eye and explain what
you want. When they do get up the
Japanese equivalent Of the shopwalker
and three or four counter jumpers in
rotation ask you to repeat your order
while they offer you five cups Of tea.
It is Japanese tea, and there is no milk
or sugar, but you can have sailed cher
ry blossoms If you want IL it is good
shop. This is the japanese way of Of
fering the customer a drink. Good
Japanese shops contain nothing except
the attendants. When you have got
as far as explaining what you want
the. proprietor gives orders to attend
ants. Off they go at run-good serv-
ants always run-and bring back the
goods tied up in faded green silk hand
kerchiefs or green cotton cloths.

Women rs Lnwxers.

Today women are admitted to the bar
on equal terms with men in thirty-four
states Of the Union. Woman is intel
lectually as capable of studying law as
man. There is nothing to deplore in the
tendency Of women to enter the law.
They lose thereby neither charm nor
any true womanly character. No study
or training can change genuine'wom-
an to anything else. She will be after,
as she. was before, the same genuine
woman. AS far as education is con-
cerned, woman is in the law to stay.
and the world will be the better for it.
New York university has a regular law
course for women and has graduated
some sixty-eight with the degree of
bachelor Of laws. The work Of these
women in the law school is generally
excellent and In some cases brilliant

His Little Bill.

When Brander Matthews went to his
club one evening. according to the
Bookman, he went to the letter box
and looked through the compartment
marked IN" and found therein q very
peremptory dun from a tailor. Mr..
Matthews was puzzled, as he had had
no dealings with the insistent tailor,
until he again looked ut the envelope
and found that he had unwfttingly
opened letter belonging to another
member of the club; so he put the bill
back in the envelope. and returned it to
the compartment. As Mr.. Matthews
was turning to go lie noticed the MEM
Der for whom the. bill was intended
coming toward the letter box. A min
ute later he came into the reading
room, where Mr.. Matthews was sitting
with several others. Taking from its
envelope the bill, he read it attentively
for few minutes, sighed, tore 1t into
bits, then, with a wink and the leer Of
an invincible conqueror, commented,
~Poor, silly little girl"

Elaf Wheela.

"Flat Wheel" growled the old retired
conductor as the trolley car in which
he sat went humping along at twelve
miles an hour. shaking the passengers
uncomfortably at every revolution of
the wheels.
"What makes fiat wheelsr asked the
man sitting next to the conductor.
Fools" said the conductor. ITS this
way: If man doesn't know how to
stop his car he makes fat wheel. On
the steam roads some brakemen fiatten
a wheel every time they put on a
brake. When the wheel suddenly stops
revolving and the momentum Of the
train carries it along the wheel slides
along the track, and fat is started.
Next stop makes 1t worse, and so 1t
goes until the wheel Is no good. II a
brakeman knows his business he need
never make a fat wheel unless he has
to suddenly avoid an accident. If he
keeps his wheels turning slowly they
don't fiatten. Now. these fellows on
the trolleys take no care at oil, anG
every other car in some places has a
hat wheel" Star.

waking the sIeepers.

In diary kept in 1646 is it asserted
that "Allen Bridges has been chose to
wake the sleepers in meeting and, be-
ing much proud of his place, must
needs have fox tale fixed to the end
Of a long static, wherewith he may
brush the faces of them that will have
maps In time of discourse" This ener-
getic individual was likewise armed
with "a sharpe thorne" for the benefit
of those who ''be most sounde." There
is record of the use of this implement
upon Mr.. Tomkins, who was sleeping
comfortably in the corner of his pew
when Allen thrust his staff behind
Dame Ballard to give him a grievous
prick upon the hand, whereupon Mr..
Tomkins did spring much above the
floor and with terrible force did strike
his head against the wall and also to
the great wonder of all 'prophanelie'
exclaim in loud voice, 'Buss the wood

woOdchuck had seized him and bit
his hand"

THE CHEERFUL WOMAN.
She Is a Blessing to Herself and
Those About Her.

She Is blessing to Herself and
Those About Her.
The woman who is always cheerful
and obliging is q boon to those with
whom she is associated.
Availability that springs from well
regulated and cultivated mind and
heart is the amiability that will stand
the wear and tear of the most bitter
experiences that can come to woman.
1t is not indifference, because the wo-
man who feels most deeply is often the
one whose cheerful presence and re-
fined concealment of the griefs and
troubles that are nearly crushing her
has been we'll tutored in such lessons
of self control wherein pride and self
respect deny to the world at large q
knowledge that is so freighted with
humiliation.
The world is much like q mirror, and
gives back the reflection it receives. II
you gaze into it with a scowling, diSa-
greeable face, you will see that face re.
flected. and the world soon criticises
mercilessly the face that betrays what
it should take pains to conceal.
The cheerful woman is blessing
and that cheerfulness can be cultivated
is patent on every side. Some of the
most amiable, lovely women are the
greatest sufferers. But 1t Is well es
tablished fact that the greatest suffer.
ers are the most silent and patient.

KITCHEN HELPS.

Use little ammonia in the dishwa-
ter when washing glasses.
In buying range be sure that 1t has
an asbestus lined oven. The asbestus
means cool kitchen and hot stove.
Milk rinses Off bottles and glasses
easily il these are dipped in water as
soon as emptied. They are not clean.
but they will clean all the easier when
the time comes.
A good way to prevent teapot from
getting musty is to put lump of. sugar
inside. This will absorb all dampness
and insure fresh cup of tea the next
time the pot is used.
Do not leave the dripping pan over
which meat has been broiled covered
with fat in the bottom of the lower
oven. 1t will be forgotten, and when
the oven burners are lighted there will
surely be blaze Of burning fat.

THE MINISTER'S WIFE.
She Has Her Trials and Sorrows, but
Also Her Reward.

Also Her Reward.
The minister's wife exercises the
craftsmanship necessary to maintain
well ordered and cultured home on a
small fncome-a home constantly I'M
der inspection by the whole parish.
She sets a fashion in becoming dress
which tones up the taste of many Of
her parishioners whose husbands in
comes are two or three times as large
as the minister's salary. She is the
pastor and the actual head of the too
numerous women's and children's or
CARNATIONS in the church, and she man.
ages to keep most Of the jealousies Of
their leaders from coming to the sur
face. She listens sympathetically to
the condolences Of the young women or
the congregation, and the small we'd
ding fees which occasionally fall into
her lap are meager wages for all the
time and thought she has given and
the teas she has served to bring about
these weddings-services which her
nefghbOrs may laugh at, but which are
the most delicate and valuable Of all
ministries when they issue in happy
homes.
She knows the pains, the joys and
the sorrows of motherhood, and she has
strengthened the courage of many a
shrinking wife faltering on the thresh-
old of an unknown realm. When she
has closed the eyes Of the darling Of
her heart in the last sleep she goes
out to cheer weary watchers by sick
beds and to give her silent sympathy
to mourners who will not be comfort
ed. She holds her queenly way in pow
erty, trial and not seldom under I'M
kind and unjust criticism, and as she
grows older light radiates from her
patient face which moves discerning
friends who otherwise would pity her
to say, "Verily, she has her rewardw-

Eskimo Tastes.

There is certainly no accounting for
tastes, and surely the strangest is that
Of the Eskimos. Tallow is their candy.
1t is put up in bright red packages
made out of the feet Of waterfowl. The
women cut off the red feet of this bird,
which is called the dovekie, draw out
the bones and blow up the skin so as to
make pouches, which they fill with the
reindeer tallow for their little folk.
None Of the food that the Eskimos
eat seems very inviting to us, but they
are extremely fond Of it and are very
apt to overeat. 1t is said by explorers
who have gone into Greenland that il
is no uncommon sight to see an Eskimo
man who has eaten an enormous meal
of the raw frozen flesh of the reindeer,
seal or walrus lying on his back and
eating blubber until he cannot move.

A Turkish Love story.

Do the Turks love their women? Yes,
both in life and in death. In life, read
the love songs and in death the cpl
taphs to the beloved ones passed to the
silent realm
1t is true the Turk goes to the Ara
bic, the Greek, the Italian, for love
songs, but he sings these to his lady's
eyebrows, and the story he tells of the
quality of his love rises to the purity
at times of prayer:
One knocked at the beloved's door,
and voice answered from within,
"Who is therer'
Then he answered, ut is l."
Then the voice said, This house will
not hold thee and me-"
And the door was not opened.
Then went the lover into the desert,
where there is nothing but Allah, and
tasted and prayed in solitude.
And after a year he returned and
Knocked again at the door.
And again the voice asked, "Who is
thereY
And he said, at is myself"
And the door was opened to him.

THE ATHLETIC WOMAN.
Her Outdoor Exercise Makes Her
Graceful and supple.

Graceful and supple.
The woman who follows an outdoor
sport is usually very graceful wom-
an. She who COLTS, who rides the
wheel, who yields the croquet mallet, Is
the woman who is graceful and supple.
Men are, as a rule, much more graceful
than women because men are out in the
open air more than women and are
more active.
The woman who takes to the rocking
chair at O'Clock in the morning and
who sits all day, getting out for only
few minutes, is not the woman who
will preserve her figure. At forty this
woman will look her age, and at fifty
she will look a great deal older, says
the Ohio State Journal.
Don't forget that age is told not by
the lines in the face, but the figure. The
middle aged figure is well known. The
hips and abdomen are prominent, and
there is fat on the shoulder blades.
Then there is the. figure Of old age.
This is a withered figure, thin above
the waist line and heavy on the hips.
This is the stage when a woman begins
to look as though she were seventy long
before she has lived out her sixties.
Patti and hundreds of other women
have kept their figures and are lovely
to gaze upon even now. when in the
mellowed leaf. And the woman of do,
though her years have piled upon her.

The following sentiment has been
variously attributed to Stephen Grel-

nay and the Earl of Devon, and
is said to have been inscribed upon the
tombstone Of the latter: II expect to

therefore, there be any kindness can
