Gen. Kuroki,s Ancestry.

Ever since Gen. Kuroki began to
excite worldwide admiration for his
military skill against the Russians in
Manchuria various accounts of his
origin have been going the rounds Of
the press, says the New York Tribune.
They agreed that his mother was
Japanese, but variously stated that his
father was a Frenchman, a German
and a Pole A German newspaper
which accepted the theory of the Jap
anese generals French origin has been
put right by Yosatia Oshima, a nephew
OF Gen. Kuroki, who is now studying
in Europe, and who writes the follow
ing letter:
my uncle Kuroki is of Polish origin.
His father was Polish nobleman by
the name of KourowsRi, who fled from
Russia after the revelation of 1881. He
first went to Paris, and afterward to
Turkey, and later Joined the Holland
troops at Borneo. From there he went
to Japan and married japanese.
From this union was born Gen.
Kuroki, who in the family is teasingly
called the Pole His father upon his
deathbed said to him that perhaps
some day he would Ic-eible to take
vengeance upon the RtssiIlIs for their
cruel treatment of unhappy Poland
CAS- the name KGurowsH is difficult
to pronounce in Japanese. my uncle
wrote and pronounced MS name Ku-
roki. My uncle is very proud of his
Polish origin"
4 There seems every reason to believe
tina, Gen. Kuroki is nephew of Count
Adam Kurowski, the Polish exile who
for several years was member of the
staff of the Tribune just previous to
the Civil War and who was later at
tached to the Department of State at
Washington as translator of foreign
documents. He died in this city in
1866, after short illness from typhoid
fever and was buried at the capital.

Always Keep Faith.

Many a woman who would not
think of lightly breaking promise
made to a grown-up person is utterly
careless about keeping her word with
her children. She promises whatever
is convenient at the moment, and APP
parently thinks that the breaking or
keeping of those promises is matter
in which she can please herself, and
that her children have no right to
consider themselves aggrieyed if she
does not do so.
A mother who acts thus does her
child grievous harm. She forgets that
the sense of justice is strong in quite
a little child, and that it is natural
and reasonable that he should expect
his parents to be as good as their
word and to fulfil their promises even
at tha cost &C convenience. Promises
should not be Nightly broken, and the
parent who is guilty of this soon loses
his children's confidence, which IS one
of the sweetest things which our little
ones can giye us.
When boys and girls learn to doubt
their parents trutSfulness, says Won
ans Life. they Soen look around for
some one whenaz tley can trust, and on
that person they shower their affec-
ton and bestow thelr confidence.

Protecting the Face in Winter.

After returning home from ex-
posture, to steam the face and rub it
with cold cream has excellent results.
but not before going out. Then the
face should not have any pore OPEN
ing application. Another point that
those who wish to preserve the deli
cacy and softness of their skin should
be most particular about in winter
is the quality Of the water they use
on their faces. To have a brilliant
complexion soap and water, contrary
to some persons ideas, are a fine qua
non. But it should be of the softest
of water and the purest of soaps.
Where the quality of the water is nat
urally hard, little borax or, what is
also very good. cornmeal bags should
invariably be put into the water.
Where there is any unwonted ex-
posure the white Shetland wool wells
are by far the best. 1t is very easy
to see through their meshes, and they
keep the face perfectly warm and pro-
tected. Before going out for any pro,
tracted exposure in very cold weather
wash the face in cold water, to close,
not open, the pores of the skin, and in
returning home battle the face with
hot water and rub we'll with cold
cream. care being taken in the interim
to protect the face by the aforesaid
Shetland veil-New York Tribune.
