Temperance a Vital Necessity

BY all. odds the greatest promoter
Of temperance in the last 60 years has
been the change in business of every
description which has especially
marked that period. Everywhere the
machine has superseded the man or
the woman. This is as notable on the
farm and in the farmers home as in
Town. In manufacturing, mining, en-
gineer.ng. transportation, and almost
all other business pursuits, the indi-
vidual worker has become part of the
machine. and the mechanism is too cost
iy to be intrusted to the direction or
manipulation OF man whose brain
is liable to be befogged In trans
portation. and. to less extent. in
mining and manufacture, not only the
safety OF property. but Of life. de-
pends upon the sobriety of employees

Learn to Keep Your Temper.

One of the most difficult things to do.
sometimes, is to keep ones temper A
calm serenity of temper and a self
control which keeps a person unruff1ed
amid the petty annoyances and ills of
everyday life indicate the possession of
perfect mental health. Nowadays peo-
pie are very fond of saying so-and-so
was "just mad" meaning very angry; ;
but it would be we'll if temper were more
often seriously regarded as madness.
It may be preventable madness, but
madness it is while it lasts, and there
is seldom anyone who is made more un-
happy by it than the person who gives
way to it. In our treatment of the ill
tempered the cultivation of the art of not
hearing will be very helpful. 1t is q
useful art all through life.-N. Y.

ANTARCTIC SECRETS

CAPT. SCOTT AND HIS CREW.

and the Full Extent Of the
Work OF the Explorers
Is Learned.

The Discovery is safe home again In
Portsmouth harbor after an absence of
.hree years. and the fruits of the labors
Of the Antarctic Research expedition
are apparent and have more than full
filed the high expectations which were
raised by the reports brought back by
the relief ship Moming. and by tho
dispatches which the Discovery has
given out at the various points where
she has touched since leaving the vast
Ice fields Of the great antarcti: circle.
When the wonderful story OF this ex-
pedition is known it proves itself to be-
the best conducted and most successful
expedition that has ever enter into polar
regions, arctic or antarctic" as Sir

The coat is tucked front and back in
imitation of the skirt, and is double
breasted, with slight front blouse over
the plain, heavily-stitched belt. The
shoulder is long, the sleeve gathered
at top with rather more fullness than

into the high cuff. The cuffs and COL

ornaments. The mousmee's hair is eie-
gantly, and, to our minds, elaborately
dressed, but it has no valuable combs or
pins in it. But wait till you see her as a
young wife! her hair will then take two
hours to dress, and in it she will wear
one Of the lovely combs she is now on
her way to purchase Hair combs and
hair ornaments generally are Japanese
woman's equivalents to jewelry, and so
beautiful are the designs, and so ex-
quisite the lacquer, that they often cost
fabulous prices The best artists are en-
gagged to execute the designs and the
most skilled workmen carry them out,
so that they are really works of art Her
ornaments. pocket dressing cases, to-
bacco cases. and fans are the objects OF
feminine vanity which a japanese lover
or husband may bestow upon the woman
he adores.
These are the principal articles Of q
woman's personal shopping, but, OF
course, there are the tabi, or foot gloves,
and the geta, or high clogs Ga clog shop

hand. First comes the little apron, next
to that the shirt, and over that the inner
and outer kimOno, and last of all the
obi, which is both her glory or her
shame, for the law of the land demands
that a Japanese woman of an undesira-
BILE class must tie her obi in front to
distinguish her from her respectable
sisters.
If you follow party Of women along
some good shopping street in Japan,
their wooden clogs Gathering louder
than their gentle tongues, the soft greys
and browns of their kimonos swaying
with that rhythmic movement peculiar
to the country, you will presently see
them stop in front of a low shop its open
front screened from the street by blue
cotton curtain hung from bamboo pole
The curtain is lifted, and in another
moment the symphony of greys and
browns has disappeared.
On tie ether side Of the blue curtain
the high wooden clogs are kicked off,
and with graceful bows and many rub
bings Of the knees the little women re-
turn the respectful greetings of the
flock Of boys who spring to their feet
and rush to the front Of the shop to well
come their customers.
On the floor Of the shop, nothing more
or less than a raised platform with
canopy over 1t, there are numerous fat
cushions for the customers to kneel on.
The master Of the. shop invites the ladies

fuls OF tempting crepes and obi-silks
from the iron safe at the back of the
platform. When the clerks come hurry
ing back-it is etiquette for an inferior
to hurry towards his master or patron
he deposits the precious bundles on the
floor in front of the kneeling mousmees.
Tea In diminutive cups on diminutivc
table tray has been daintily served in the
interval.
The buying of new obi. or a crepe
hmono-which will not only last the
purchasers lifetime, but her daughters
as WELLS an affair of much moment.
The shopkeeper does not expect his Wis
ftors to spend in few minutes the
money that has probably taken long
years to save; nor does he expect her to
know in the space of two hours what
design of an obi'will satisfy her aesthetic
sense for the next ten years. Hurry and
impatience are unknown quantities in
Japan.
A woman is wanting in one of her
souls who is wanting in patience. and
the woman who hurries is wanting in
-self-control. So the contented little
party will spend their whole day SQUAT
ting on their knees before a mas. Of
silks and crepes. choosing and barxaiu-
Ing and exchanging polite compliments

Scott King Edward VII. Land.
During the two years that the Discov-
cry was shut in the ice Capt Scott and
his men made various expeditions in
different directions. The farthermost
point reached was that touched by Capt.
Scott on his great dash for the pole,
when h. reached point SO degrees and
IL minutes south, thus breaking by 207
miles thu record of Borchgrevink, who
got as far as Is degrees and 40 minutes
in 1900, and penetrating more than IL
degrees further south than Capt. Cook,

In the second season Capt Scott LED
another expedition inland to the west
ward. The plucky band reached point
270 miles from the ship. In the interior
of South Victoria Land, a vast continen-
tai plateau, which stretched away befors
them at an elevation of 5000 feet. Dur.
ing the second season also & third ex-
tended journey was made by Lieut.
Barne to examine the strait In 80 de.

respecting the exact point of junction.

key.
But there is another class of shopping
which she has to do besides; her frugal
housekeeping, which consists principal
ly Of rice and tea and picRles-and there
is the present buying. Japan is a land Of
present-giving. The money spent by
housekeeper in Japan on presents must
be as much as the money spent on food.
At the Boys Festival, or the Feast of
Flags, as it is called, the women flock in
hundreds to the temple fairs to buy flags
for the decoration of their houses, and
toys Of every description suitable for
boys. Every boy in every household is
the recipient of at least half a dozen
presents from his friends and relatives
on that day. Even the poorest can af-
ford to buy flags and toys for their boys;

JAPAN are very iota as feminine in their
love of shopping as their big sisters in
America, although etiquette, which is a
fetish in Japan, forbids them giving

to know that he is a fool too weak to

know that shopping is one of the few
real pleasures Japanese woman is per-

changes in Japan and woman's needs
