MODERN WAYS INTRODUCED
INTO JAPAN.

If you but try, says the London
Times, to look at a tiny hand of any
girl in a well-to-do family of present
day Japan-a. hand coming out of a
scarlet lined sleeve-you will easily
find a jeweled ring or rings on her
fingers. Jewels we had none before, but
we prize them just the same. AS to the
wearing of rings, even gentlemen are
often seen with thick gold ring made
out of an old Japanese coin called
"koban." The study of the introduce
ton of a new custom is interesting
In the case of SNOW white pillows"
they were first used in hospitals, where
we adopted everything from the
West as 1t was. We did not have
sheets for the beds along with that,
but cleannesS recommended itself to
the Japanese, and the custom was
readily followed by those who took a
fancy to it.
AS to kissing, it is rather delicate to
touch on, but it cannot be dismissed
with a general statement that lin af-
lection and love the Japanese are out
wardly undenonstrative." All de-
ponds upon circumstances.
Generally speaking, we shun the
eyes of the public to be demonstrative
or to seek the occasion when all can
Join with us. kissing as practiced in
the West is still strange to us, but no
one who knows about it would wonder
if a young couple of modern Japan
should take to it to express their love-

But" insist the would-be employ
ers, I'VE are willing to pay the girls
good wages-larger than ever before.
And we win treat them we'll"
Treat them WELL The trouble Is
right there. Not one woman in a hun
dred knows the meaning Of the term
as applied to servants. They regard
the girls, for the most part, as little
more than animals or automatic. If
they would only look on them as HUI
man beings and treat them according
ly. there would be none of the serv-
ant question there is now.
Il don't know how il is" said a
woman to me the other day. IT no
sooner get an immigrant girl and teach
her how to do things as I want them
done than she leaves me. And 1 give
her better home and better feed than
she was ever accustomed to in the Old
Country, I'm sure"
One of this woman's servants came
to me the day after Christmas, with
tears in her eyes and Indignation in
her heart. She wanted to leave her
situation at once.
TITS simply outrageous" she insist
ed, the way we servants are treated
and yesterday capped the climax. The
lady of the house came down into tine
Kitchen Christmas morning We were
all ready to greet her with a Merry
Christmas and did so. but she paid
no more attention to us than If we
had not been in the houes. Instead
what did she do but pass us right by
and speak to little dog of hers, say
ing, Merry Christmas, Fido!'"
That's only sample of what I hear
daily from the girls, who, in greater
numbers all the time, are trying to get
out Of doing domestic work and want
to earn their living by sewing or
working in stores.
AS for native girls, they will not
stand for moment the treatment
handed out to them by women who
employ them as cooks and housemaids
and seldom, if ever, take up domestic
work.
The remedy? 1t is as plain and sim
pie as can be. Let the women re-
member that the girls they employ are
human beings, as 1 said before. Talk
to them; show some interest in them
now and then. A man who employs a
coachman talks with him, treats him
like man, and not like a dog; asks
his opinion on matters connected with
the work, and never has the trouble
with him that a woman is always
having with her servants. Another
thing-women should remember that a
servant girl can do only a certain
amount of work. Try it yourself Do
the work you ask her to do and see if
you can accomplish it, or part of it,
without being completely tired out. If
you are the average woman you'll find
that you are a wreck, cross, tired and
used up, before you're half through.
unfortunately, matters are not i'm
proving in the relation of mistress to
servant, but rather the contrary, If
the reports which ! get from our girls
are correct, and I believe they are.
1 hope that the remedy will soon be
found, or the result will be that house
servants will be almost an unknown
quantity.

THE BABY HANSON.

The latest thing in baby carriages"
said a dealer. TO the New York Sun,
lis not carriage or a gocart but a
baby hanson. That is not the
manufacturers name of It, but de-
scribes it better than any other name.
This new baby carryall is mighty
cute. l think. and it has advantages
that no other infant vehicle enjoys.
Every man who has pushed one of the
old-fashioned carriages or even one of
the newer go-carts knows they are
sonlew what cumbersome.
THE new baby hanson is not. 1t
takes up little space and can be push
ed or pulled or carried.
Baby is strapped in 1t just as you
would strap a baby in a miniature
hanson. There is q cushioned seat
large enough for a two-year-oId child
and the youngster can ride looking
foreward or looking backward. That all
depends on the person who furnishes
the motion.
THE best part of this new cart,
however, is that it can be conveniently
carried when one wants to carry it,
The baby still retains it's seat and is
more comfortable than when held in
nurses arms. The handle can be so
manipulated by turning a spring that
It is like the handle Of an ordinary
basket.
when the baby cart is carried in
this way the two rubber tired wheels
disappear from sight, and to all in
tents and purpose the baby is being
carried in basket and nothing more

HOW TO KEEP A SERVANT.

Never before in my recollection, says
Miss A. f. Mathews, superintendent of
the Immigrant Girls Home, in the New
York World. have. there been so many
women in search of servant girls, and
never has there existed such a scarcity
of girls to fill the places. 1 am con-
stantly appealed to by housewives for
a reason for this scarcity, and 1 have
only one explanation to give. The new
ly arrived girls with whom our home
has to do show a growing disinclina-
ton to take up housework, and try, If
possible, to earn their living in some
other way as soon as they have land
ed in the country.

INDICTMENT OF THE CORSET.

Physical culture magazine has put
the corset on trial and found it guilty
Of even more heinous offenses than
most of it's ardent haters have ever
dreamed. Here is the true bill found
against this moulder of the feminine
form by the magazine:
First. It lessons and sometimes
ruins the digestive powers.
Second. 1t restricts development of
the lungs to almost half their normal
size.
Third. 1t destroys absolutely the nor
mai power of breathing.
Fourth. 1t ultimately injuries and
makes shapeless, faced and nerveless
the flesh of the waist line.
Fifth. 1t destroys the beauty lines
of the body, of the limbs, arms and
bust by restricting nourishment, by in
terfering with normal circulation. and
thus lessening vital power, and by the
continuous and unnatural support Of
the bust In an abnormal position.
Sixth. 1t is absolutely. in most cases,
the direct cause of weaknesses peculiar
to women, from which every corset
wearer suffers at some time in her life.
Seventh. 1t greatly weakens. some
times destroys. or makes abnormal,
the instinct of sex.
Eighth. 1t produces tumors and the
infamed condition from which women
so often turn to expensive and danger
Gus operations.
Ninth. It causes serious displace-
ment.
Tenth. II prevents the return of the
venous blood from parts below the
waist line.
Eleventh. 1t is one of the principal
causes of marital miseries and divorces.

AN AUTUMN LUNCHEON.

At an October bridesmaids lunch
con the table. says the Philadelphia
Ledger, will have a large centerpiece
of yellow chrysanthemums, with a
fringe of autumn leaves around the
base of the plateau. From this confer
piece streamers of inohwide yellow
satin ribbon are to run in a sunburst
to each of the places round the table.
From bell of golden asters, hung
from the chandeliers, festoons of yell
low gauze ribbon drop to the vases Of
flowers set at the corners of the table,
while hundreds of length of yellow
baby ribbon will be hung from the in
side of the bell, cut to various lengths
reaching almost to the centerpiece of
chrysanthemums.
The place cards will be hand painted,
with little cupids hiding among fes-
toons of yellow ribbon and flowers
The china to be used is the old-fash-
toned gilt and white French ware.
The candle shades are composed Of
tiny yellow rosebuds.
The bonbon dishes used will be
mostly of Bohemian glass engraved
with gold, and will be filled with yell
low-ooated almonds, orange paste and
glace white grapes and candled lime
leaves.
At each bridesmaids place will be
laid a yellow chrysanthemum, pinned
with a gold stickpin set with pearls,
the gift of the bride to her attendants.
The courses themselves will not be
chosen to adhere too strictly to the col
or scheme of yellow.
Grape fruit will be served first, the
clear golden boullon will follow. The
salad will be garnished with yellow
mayonnaise, while cupid molds will be
used for the ice.

THE JAPANESE
FARMERS WIFE.

If the lot of a Japanese farmer be
hard, says Ada i. A Murcutt in the
Pilgrim for October, that of his wife
is infinitely harder. She not only does
an equal amount of labor in the field,
but the care of the household and 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 following:
BE always kind to your mother-in-
law and sisters-in-law." Get up
early. stay up late at night and do
not take a nap in the daytime" BE
a good housekeeper. be economical In
everything" II is well for the happi-
ness of the girl who is about to be-
come a farmers wife that the last two
commandments have been so instilled
that she is prepared to regulate her
life by them.

the last TO retire and when the male
members OF the family may be seen
stretched on the floor taking their

seen mending some garment or else
laboring In the field. 1t Is scarcely
necessary, however. to train her TO be
economical. for that is compulsory.
Before the farmer has awakened
from his heavy sleep his little wife
creeps from under the mosquito net,
and performing a hasty toilet, pre-
pares the morning meal. When the
other members OF the family arise,

placed on the floor are carefully rolled

CHOOSING WIRES.

An art student from North Dakota,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, living
in the Latin Quarter of Paris, in the
house of an amiable but impoverished
woman, fell in arrears for his rent
for more than eleven years. Taken
vigorously to task by his landlady, he
told her frankly that there was abso-
lutely no prospect of payment, where
upon she as promptly declared that
he must pay at once or get out. Con-
fronted with two such awful alterna-
tives, the former impossible and the
latter most disagreeable, he discarded
them both and in a second of inspira
ton proposed matrimony. He was ac
cepted, proved a good provider, and
made his wife happy.

MISSING TEETH
CAUSE WRINKLES.

Before you came to me-" said the
beauty doctor, according to the New
York Sun, to a new patron, you
should have gone to the dentist. II
Is little use for me to try to remove
wrinkles while you have two missing
teeth. AS a woman approaches middle
age the effect of a missing or short
tooth makes a wonderful change in
her face. If she cannot afford to have
a new tooth built up with gold she
should have an artificial one in place
of a hole.
THE loss of a cuspid or an eye tooth
is plainly indicated in the face by
deep line leading from the nostrils to
the corner of the mouth. No amount
of massaging will remove it. If the
aperture is filled in the wrinkles often
disappear without massaging. Women
value the loss of a tooth too lightly. No
matter how broken down a tooth is,
have it built up If you wish to avoid
wrinkles at middle age"

RESULT OF
TELEPHONE HABIT.

An American woman whose home
for some years past has been in Eng
land, says the Philadelphia Press, paid
a visit to her native land last year
spending several months in the West.
The telephone habit of her country
men and women made so much of an
impression upon her that on her re-
turn to the English capital she con-
hded TO the British public her belief
that the American people are in dan
ger OF becoming left-eared in conse-
quence of their devotion to this fac
tor in the business and social life of
the community.
"A few generations, perhaps" she
says, will develop the Americans into
left-eared race. Everybody [ have
known makes a practice of using the
left ear for listening to telephone COM
implications, and it stands to reason
that people who spend at least half
their time at the telephone will eveDtu-
ally develop their hearing on the left
side at. the expense of the right until
the right ear becomes ultimately use
less"
In substantiation of this statement
the fair Hritic declares that owing 70
the extensive use she made of the fale~
phone while in this country she finds
that she can hear acutely with her
left ear and scarcely at all with the
right, and that she has had to resort
TO massage to correct the difficulty.

the large Eastern cities the telephone
rate is 10 cents, in Chicago half that
sum and in some California towns
nothing.
