Where Everybody Smokes.

l think every man, woman and
child in Japan smokes. This may
be an exaggeration, especially as re-
CARDS the children; but it is no ex-
aggeration to say that smoking is as
much a part of the everyday life of
the people as is eating or drinking,
and it is INDUCED in by women with
the same innocent, nonchalant enjoy
ment as is exhibited by the men. 1t
was bit of shock to me when l
first came to Japan to come face to
face with this fact before I had an
opportunity to form any sort of i'm
preston of the little women in whom
l was prepared to be 80 interested. 1
landed at Nsgasaki and almost i'm
mediately took train for Moi,
whence was to go for trip through
the interior. 1t was early morning,
and, being in the midst of the rainy
season, everything was soggy damp.
The first -class carriage into which
| was shown was anything but first
class it was unclean] and badly
ventilated, and its only other occu-
pants were two japanese ladies and a
man. The women had evidently
just finished breakfasting in the car,
and were now sitting on their feet
upon the seat absolutely enwrapped
in clouds of the most evil-smelling
smoke, which they putfed from long
cigarettes. They were beautifully
dressed in silk kimonos and were un-
doubtedly gentlewomen. knew
that even then, when ] had seen so
few, and must confess | was rather
annoyed, because their daintiness
seemed to be entirely destroyed. But
now, after residence of months, |
think | would rather see them smoke
than not. They do it 80 daintily
and innocently, with such frank EN-.
joyment, and so constantly, that it
seems a very part of their quaint
Japp.ness.-Lesley's Weekly.

The Rockefeller interests get $780,
100000 to s50,000,000 every year in
dividends FROM the Standard Oil
Company. But the Standard is by
no means the only source of their
revenue. They own the biggest
bank in New York, besides chain
of something like 100 other banks
located in business centres through
out the United States. They own
private car lines, tank GERS, fruit cars
aud all kinds of private cars and a
large part of the 100000 miles of
American railroads. They own tho
controlling interest in the United
States Steel Trust, and in all the
copper mines of the world. They
have fastened their clutches on the
coal and iron mines of the country,
and on the street oar business, the
telephones and gas and eleorio light
works in New York and in many
other principal cities and their boats
and ships on the Ohio, On the Missis-
sippi, in the canals, on the Great
Lakes, and on tho sea are more
numerous and more valuable than
the American navy.
Nobody, in fact, but themselves
knows how varied are the interests,
and how enormous are the profits of
this daring, talented end wonderfully
successful band of spectators and
financiers. There is, perhaps, not a
man, woman or child in the United
States who does not pay tribute to
them in some form or other each
year. Since the days of Solomon
there has never been such gigantic
combination of wealth as that owned
by the Standard people, and it is
practically all under the control of
one man. What John d. Rockefeller
says "goes" with stockholders in all
the companies he has organized or
now manages. He is aggressive and
all competent, and appears to be re-
morseless and Unsuitable in his pur-
suit of the almighty dollar. In the
accumulation of his fortune he has
violated and detied the spirit, if not
the letter, of the laws, yet the law as
it stands guarantees him security in
the possession of every dollar of
property he owns. So in the midst
of all the clamor he has excited, per-
haps John ID. Rockefeller feels safe
