No Step Toward Offering Mediation-1a
Russia's Attitude Defined.

PARIS October. n ZAP Ypm.-4rhe gravity
of the Anglo RussiAn situation sexcites the
most serious consideration at the foreign
Office here. and in governmental quarters
generally. Nj. canbon. the French ambas-
sador at London. is keepia3g the authorities
constantly advised. lft3s expected tina. Pre-
mier Balfour will make an important decla-
ration during his speech tomorrow night.
The adyiees reaching here concerning the
reported modera ton of British official opin-
ion are not reassuring. Therefore the au-
thorities are doing their utmost to secure a
Russian explanatory and hope this will
have calming inffhenc4 before Mr. Bal
FOUR declara ton is mad9
The understanding here is that the pre-
mier's attitude is likely to be decisive I'M
less the situation improves before tomorrow
night Foreign Minister Deleasse however
has not taken any step toward Offering
good offices, and it is said authoritatively
that this will be done unless a request
therefor is made by Great Britain or Rus
STA. Neither party has yet made such a re-
quest and neither shows desire for exter-
mai influences.
Official advices from ST Petersburg indi-
cate that Russia is DESTROYS of making
ample amends, but Is not DESTROYS of being
forced to a precipitate conclusion.
A leading official said: Russia does not
want to be placed in the same category as
Turkey, who is compelled to accept what
the foreign powers dictate
The tone of the French press continues
fairly calm. although all the papers agree
that the situation is susceptible to the
gravest possibilities.

If the lot of a Japanese farmer be hard
thataof his wife Is infinitely harder. She
not only does an equal amount of labor I'M

the responsibility of the children also rest
upon her shoulders.
From earliest infancy, a Japanese girl is
taught to be obedient to her parents and
when she is about to be married her mother
gives her thirteen rules by which to steer
her bark on the rugged sea Of japanese
married life Among them are the follow
ing: BE always kind to your mother-in-iaw
and sisters-in-law. Get up early. stay UP

der the mosquito net, and performing a
hasty toilet, prepares the morning lnea,

the domestic duties would be very nght-

When the bedding has been removed, tne
meal is then served in the same room. All
the members of the family squat on the
floor The millet or rice which is the pr1n-
cinal and oftentimes only article of diet Is
brought in in a wooden bucket and the wife
ladies' it out, serves her husband first ana
oftentimes waits until the whole family has
finished before she partakes of the food her
self.
When the husband has gone to the neid,
the wife removes the dishes and washes
them together with any pots that may
have been used, at the neighboring well or
i'm the stream that flows just outside ner
cottage door. These canals or streams are
a great labor-saving institution in Japan
and are used for many and varied purposes.
The farmer, tired and dirty after his days
work refresfes and cleanses himself by

travels through the country at one point
one may see a woman doing the famiiy

road the tired, travel-stained pilgrim may
be seen refreshing his weary feet by law
