Japanese Babies.

Judging by Western ideas, japanese
babies have hard time; yet. says the
San Francisco Bulletin, there are 10
healthier children In the world. The
japanese baby is dressed and undr,ss-
ed in a frigid temperature in winter,
and In summer no care is taken to pro
tect its tender little eyes from the full
glare OF the sun. In winter the small
head is covered with worsted cap of
the brightest and gayest design and
color. The black hair is cut In all
sorts Of fantastic ways. just like the
hair OF the Japanese dolls imported
into this country.
The babies OF the lower class are
generally carried on the back OF the
mother or little sister: sometimes the
small brother Is obliged to be the
nurse-maid. The kimono Is made ex-
ira large at the back. with a pocket
of sufficient size to hold the baby.
whose round head reaches the back
of the neck Of the person who Is car
rying 1t. 1t is not an uncommon
sight to see children who are barely
old enough to toddle burdened with
small brother or sister sleeping peace
fully on their backs. At first one ex-
poets to see the child stsgger and fall
beneath the weight. but apparently |
none Of its movements are impeded. |
and 1t plays with the other children as

ROYAL FAMILIES NOT so OLD.
Mikado Dean of Them All So Far as
Ancestry Is Concerned.

Mikado Dean of Them All So Far as
Ancestry Is Concerned
When 1t comes to '.old families" the
4 Mikado Of Japan can fairly assert that
his family stands at the head of the
list, for his ancestors have been rulers
of Japan for 1850 years, according to
fairly well authenticated geneal-
| ogy.
This would place the first ruler of
the family in the year GAG B. c.. and
make him contemporary of Nebuch-
adnezzar's father.
Extraordinary as this claim to an
cient lineage is, there seems to be no
valid reason for doubling it. and the
Mfkado always begins his proclama-
tons with SEATED on our ancestral
throne from time immemoriaL"
The Car is mere mushroom com
pared with the Asiatic ruler as regards
family.
The best he can do in the way Of an
cestry is to trace back to Michael Ro-
manoff, who became Car in 1913, only
few years before the Pilgrim Fathers
landed on Plymouth Rock.
And the Car can claim descent from
the Romanoffs only through a round
about way. as the male line OF the |
house came to an end in 1870. and the |
direct female line expired In 1862. IA |
years before the American Declara-
ton Of Independence.
The reigning family Of China is even
more modern than that of the Car.
the Chinese Emperor claims
to be descended from the Sun, histori-
cally his family is younger than that
Of MayHower descendant. He is de-
scended from a Manchu chief. who
made his appearance in China in 1914.
and drove out the lawful sovereigns
1f the country.
This Manchu chief was a successful
soldier, and that is all that is known
about him.
He was, in all probability, what
would be called in these days a self
made man. 4

La, at 10 p, m. Tuesday, April 10,
1904, j.. A. Duckworth, born Nov. IL.
lS4O, departed this life aged So years,
8 months and 8 days.
The subject of this sketch had been
in bad health for a long time, and his
death was expected by all who we're
aware of his feebleness. Nevertheless
the end came unexpectedly. and it
was surprise to his relatives and
friends in Colfax who knew he had
just few hours before gone up into
ward six feeling unusually well, and
expecting a few days in the country
to do him good. Mr.. Duckworth
made his peace with God several
years ago, and has been a devoted
ever since. He frequently
spoke of death, and expressed readi-
ness and willingness to go. His end
came peacefully, and was literally
like falling asleep, SO easily and with
out a struggle he passed away. His
remains were laid to rest in the Colfax
graveyard about 4:3O p. m. wednes-
day, Rev. j. R. Miller officiating at
the funeral service, and a number of
friends and relatives being present to
show their respect for the dead.
