Japanese Verse.
Van Calava.

Eastern writer's report the Japanese
to be a nation of verse writer's, from
The Imperial family down to the coolies
in the rice fields and the ricllshaw man.
Occasionally a poem by the Emperor
or Empress has appeared in transla-
ton in America. Professor Arthur
Lloyd Of the Imperial University in
Tokyo has collected and translated
nearly 200 pages of these verses. The
following is the translation Of an I'M
perial song of Her Majesty, the En-
press:
take heed unto myself; the mighty
God
That is the Soul Of Nature, sees the
good
And bad that man in his most secret
heart
Thinks by himself, and brings 1t to
the light.
A ''Tanka" by the Emperor runs:
''The foe that strikes thee,
For thy country's sake
Strike him with all thy might;
But while thou strikest,
Forget not still to love him."
By the Crown Prince:
"On fair Arashi's slopes the rooted
pine-trees stand;
SO midst the storms and wind, firm
rooted, stands Our Land"

obviates Need of Doctors ami Drugs.
Should be Used Without Sugar.

Drink expert Warman recommend
the drinking Of lemon water. Lemon
water, without sugar, he believes, is
Of great medicinal value. 1t makes
beverage that will cool the blood
clear the brain, remove biliousness,
clear the complexion, and save the
expenditure Of money for drugs and
doctor bills and a few other things
health drink that can not be dis
counted.
But do not use sugar with the
lemon, It neutralizes the effect that
would otherwise be produced. Con-
slider, for moment, he says, few Of
the uses of the lemon.
In the morning, half an hour or more
before breakfast, take the juice Of half
a lemon In a glass OF cold water. 1t
will clear the system Of humor and
bile without any OF the effects Of
ealomel, congress water, or any
drastic drug. But the benefit Is more
than doubled by repeating this just
before retiring. This is a much safer
way to get the better of bilious con-
ditlon than resorting to quinlne or
blue pills.
Do not irritate the stomach by TAX
ing the lemon clear. The powerful
acid of the juice, when taken alone,
is always most corrosive and invari-
ably produces Inflammation, If long
continued, but when properly diluted
so that it does not harm or draw the
throat, it does its medical work, and
when the stomach is clear OF food it
has abundant opportunity TO work
through the system thoroughly.
Not only is the drink of lemon
water an excellent liver corrective,
but, IL taken in hot water insteadso
cold, it will prove a very eficacious
anti-fat remedy.
1t is better than any drug or COM
plexion powder for giving permanent
clearness and beauty to the skin.
A teaspoonful OF lemon Juice In a
small cup of black coffee will relieve

The present yield Of gold is dou'blc

Within the next ten years it bids fair

Plain Clothing /, No FrIIIs.

In the wardrobe of a German baby
there are no dainty little dresses with
frills and laces and blue ribboned pet
ticoats and rufIles and furbelows. 1t
has, In place Of these, an ample supply
of little ehemises, merino undershlrts,
and diapers, while for a dress a two
yard square Of white flannel serves.
A case is reeounted Of one proud
American mother who exhibited with
maternal delight the dainty things she
had brought over for the expected baby.
She was much shocked and hurt to see
them all brushed ruthlessly aside-all
E1t the shirts-and further to see all
the lovely baby coats, with their fine
embroidery, heartlessly ripped from the
waists The other things, she was adj
vised, would not be needed for three
months.
The Dressing Table.
For the German baby's bath his little
tub is filed with tepid water and he
lies entirely immersed, only his little
face above the surface, his back and
head supported on the nurses arm.
Then he is rolled and patted dry in his
towels in the usual way, after which he
is dressed, not on the nurses knee, but
on the "Wickeltisch," or swaddling la
Bile, conveniently high commode with
top slightly slanting, before which the
nurse stands. If this is not available, |
an ordinary table is always used.
First, the batiste ehemise is put on,
and then the merino shirt, both fas-
tened in the back by strings. Then |
comes the diaper, and then from under
the arms the baby Is simply swaddled
in his blanket, which is turned up at
the bottom and pinned together like
meal sack.
IL the youngster inclines to curl his |
legs or to lie with his knees curved,
they are tightly bandaged with broad |
linen band. Cruel, you say? 1t seems
so, perhaps, but the babies do not ap-
pear to mind. Your German nurse
never uses talcum powder unless it is
absolutely necessary.

one Of the Gordon of fertilization for
the defence of Washington, was erected
west of Arlington, and the site of this
Civil War earthwork- is now covered by
the important cavalry post, Fort Myer.
Villages have come into being In that
neighborhood, the highways have been
improved, an electric car line built and
thus have been cut channels through
which nearly everyone passes in and
out OF Arlington.
The eastern gates are at the foot of
a long, steep hill, and there are no

In the spring Of 1861 the Federal
Government established military camps

Qualnted with this fact. Visitors sell

this Is that Arlington has changed

called the main west gate, and 1t Is a
commonplace double gate OF ornate
iron rods and spears, glittered over
with gold-leaf. and such a gate as may
