Japanene Women Dainty Smokers.
Smoking is almost a universal Gus.
tom among Japanese women, says the
Chicago Tribune. The empress uses a
silver pire with a stem ten inches long.
The bowl is small, in fact, only a
quantity of tobacco sufficient to give
the smoker two or three whiffs can be
put into it. Then the ashes are
knocked out and the pipe is carefully
cleaned before it is refilled. To an
American this form of smoking seems
to involve too much work. A pipe is
cleaned many times in the course of
an afternoon. The Japanese word for
smoking means, literally, drinking
tobacco"

FROn CHARTER OAK.
Baltimore Han Has Three Saplings
 Grswn From Famous Tree.

A Baltimore dispatch to the New York Herald today says:
 Growing in large tub at the resi- dence of James Knowlton, No 7O3 Ro- land avenue, are three descendants of the famous Charter Oak. These sturdy oaks of renowned lineage will be transplanted to separate tubs, and if they continue to flourish MT Knowl- ton will present two to the city, one to be planted in Druid hill and the other in Patterson park.
 ssWhen in Hartford two years ago MT Knowlton obtained eight acorns from the tree grown from a sprig of the Charter Oak, which stands on the spot where that famous tree spread it's branches for hundreds of years. He planted all, but five failed to germin- ate. He watched with care the three oaks that came up, bestowing as much attention on them as if they were deli cate flowers. They are now about a foothigh and give promise of becoming g strong trees. '
 When the Charter Oak blew down citizens of Hartford immediately planted sprfg from it on the spot where it had stood. The new tree thriyed and now it's branches shade a considerable area.
 sThe Charter Oak itself was sawed up into lumber. From this a frame for the colonial charter was made. The frame, with its historic document, now hangs in the supreme court cham Der in the capitol at Hartford. A chair also was made from the lumber, and this is occupied by the lieutenant governor of Connecticut in the senate chamber"
 The dispatch is in error in stating that a young Charter Oak stands on the site of the famous tree. There is young Charter Oak on Bushnell park, but none on the plot where the tree of Sir Edmund Andros's discom- fiture stood.

A CHARGE AT NANsHAN.
By a Japanese Officer, in Leslie's Monthly Magazine for November.

 Monthly Magazine for November.
 Suddenly we saw. from where we were, on a curve of the Nanshan crest, facing the Kinchau bay, sight which made our blood bound in our veins it was the battle flag of Nippon f1ap- ping away over where the Russian trenches were. That was the sigma, for general rush forward to storm the heights. There were only a few of us in our company who could an swer the general order to rush for, ward-and everyone of us was wound d.somewhere. A minute ago all about us were suppressed groans of men who were desperately wounded. These seemed to come from beneath the heaps of the dead bodies of our com rades. Instantly, as we saw our flag planted on the crest of the Nanshan. the shout of the 'sBanzai'' rolled over the field, coming from the throats and the livid lips that would be still and voiceless within a few moments. AS l reached the crest of the hill l came upon fellow waving flag which was about two feet square. It was all bloody. He was standing over the prostrate form of Russian who was not yet dead. "The flag, sir,'' he ex- plained humbly to me, twas given me by villagers of mine. I promised them would plant it in the enemys trench es soEae time. You see, sir, it is bloody. This Russian pointing to the stall wart fellow at his feet, twas the last fellow who resisted me. I killed him with my sword, or. at least, I have pretty nearly finished him. I have wiped my sword on this flag L am going to take this flag, back, if I am allowed, to the men of my village as memento of the first fight I have been in.''
