WHAT THE WOMEN OF JAPAN
ARE DOING.

The women Of Japan do not so out and
fight today as they have done on rare oc-
casions in the past We had an Empress
once who led an army in Korea and
fousht at the head of her soldiers. And
even in the last century. when the Sho-
gun made his last stand against the
Mibado. nearly a thousand women ara
girls belonging to families attached 10
the Shotgun fought behind and upon lie
castle walls. and many were killed.
Ii is different now. Only the men 60
out. But there is much left for the
women TO do and there is not woman
IN Japan who viii shirk from her DUTY.
Not only must she take care Of the fam
fly while the men are away but she must
work for the soldiers Our Empress her
self is the patron Of the japanese Red
Cross Society. whose president is always
g prince Of the royal house With her
own hands the Empress prepares band
ages and clothing for the men in the fiek:
and 50 great was her personal interest in
the men who fought in the war with
China that at the close Of the war she
gave an artificial limb TO every man who
had lost one on The battlefield
The women who act as nurses must lay
aside their kimonas and wear the regular
dress of a hospital nurse. Both before and
since the war with China the women OF
Japan have attended the hospital training
schools where instruction is given by
American and European nurses. and there
are now no better nurses in the world
than those of Japan.-Mrs. Sadazuchi

A SOUTH SEA VISION
For the Sunday Eagle.

For the Sunday Eagle.
The maker of idols sat within his hut
Through the rude door he could see the
waste of sand stretching down to meet
the dash Of the never silent ocean He
could watch the rising tide beat upon the
shore and creep closer and closer TO The
dying fire, around which the savages had
danced an hour ago, bowling and chant
ing as they watched the Christian priest
writhing in the flames Now the stranger
knocking together bits OF fre-whitened
bone snatched hot from The fire.
The sun was setting. The line Of shadow
grew broader and greater about the great
half-hewn figure of the god Vishnu be-
fore the door. The jewel in the forehead
reflected the sunlight Before the figute
lay untouched, the rude tools. for the
idol maker was not working.
Vainly had he tried to give the stone
face the semblance of life. Heehad even
today stolen from his conpa Mons. with
the last look of the dying priest in his
mind. having a vague hope Of reproducing
the same.
Trained as he vas to warfare and tor
ture. he had shrunk from the deed of
cruelty And as he left the fire two of the
wrinl1led old women had whispered this:
1.-The White Mans Blood" and recalled
the faint tradition that the idol maker
ives descended from a white sailor who
years before had been shipwrecked on the
island and who, before his death by fire,
had won the love of chieftain's daugh-
ter.
hot cit t17ic iohprif-
ance or his craft of carving had given
to the maker of idols a gentler nature
than the other tribesmen possessed.
AS he watched the waves creep near
to the fire. the idol maker recalled the
day before when the strange priest had
stood by his hut before the huge mass of
stone and in faltering words of the island
dialect had told him Of another God,
gentle God who demanded neither fire
nor sacrifice; a God not of stone, but I'M
seen and mighty as the wind. The priest
had said Thou shalt not worship the
God of stone. but the unseen God" And
the maker Of idols had wondered much at
his words.
Night came and the maker of idols
dreamed. Before him stood the great
God Vishnu; the face was mobile and
the eyes very like the eyes of the dying
priest; the jewel in the Gods forehead
cleaned brighter man fire.
When the light of dawn fell like fire
upon the sea, the maker OF idols awoke
and took up his rude tools. Il cannot put
into stone the God as he appeared in the
dream. ] shall make the image for those
to worship who have not seen the great
God Vishnu in a vision. They can bow
down 10 the rough stone, hue I will build
my fires to the face l saw in my dream

WAGES Reduced 10 Per Cent.

The mercantile agencies report that
wages of 100000 Industrial employees
have been reduced 10 per cent or more
and preparations are making to effect
a similar reduction with respect to
100000 others in various lines on or
about July /. Prospects favor like re-
auctions with regard to still some
thousands of others. The week is
characterized by further slackening
industrially, and by spreading action
on the part of manufacturers looking
to reduction of cost of production.

A Mammoth Clock.

1.-THE st. Louis Exposition is to have
a unique floral clock" says the Electri-
cal World and Engineer. This
mammoth clock will be installed on
the side of the hill nsrth of the Agri-
cultural Building. The dial will be
fiower-bed of l2O feet in diameter. The
will be go feet long, and
the ring at the end, which will be 8
feet in diameter, large enough to sup
port twelve men easily. A hundred
persons might promenade on this
hand without interfering with the
movements of the timepiece. The
minute-hand will move S feet every
minute. The clock machinery will be
in an adjacent building. The flower
bed will be masterpiece of the florists
art. The entire dial will be dower-bed
and the numerals marking the various
hours will be Is feet in length, and
made of bright-colored coleus, a foliage
plant with bright-colored leaves that
grow dense and may be pruned and
kept symmetrical without danger of
imparing its growth. In a broad
circle, surrounding the dial, will be
twelve fiower-beds, one opposite each
hour, each 2 feet wide and Is feet long.
These collections will represent
various flowers, but each will be so
selected that the blossom is open at
the particular hour it represents and
at no other. In this way both the
hands of the clock and the flowers will
tell the time of day. At night the
lou sc vast timepiece will be illumi.
