One idea in the mind of girls of to-
day is that parents should not inter.
fere with their goings and comings.
Why it has come about is somewhat
of a question, for there is really no
less obligation on the part Of parents
to know a daughters associates and
the places she goes than there was on
mothers concerning themselves a gen.
GRAFTON ago. A perfectly natural fact
is that normal young people crave
amusement, and If this is not provided
at home it will assuredly be sought
elsewhere. This is true of the girl
who has nothing to do, as well as for
her friend who has to work all day,
and both will turn to recreation away
from home If none is to be found
there.-Chicago Daily News.

Fashions In Japan.

Fashions change in Japan most rap
idly when they are the changing
badge of wealth, and when social sta
tus GIBBS and flows and people are
known by what they wear Among
men the fashion of the hair, which
had to do with the warriors head
gear, has gone wholly out of style.
The man of official rank wears his
clothes In foreign style as becoming
modern tasks, though he returns to
his native costume for his hours of
ease. In the matter Of hairdressing 1t
is not only that certain styles belong
to certain periods or ages, but may
not be affected after some fixed data,
but within the limits set by age there
are variations according to fashions
within.

TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.

Place her among the flowers,
foster her as a tender plant, and
you will thus make of her a tender
plant, and she becomes a thing of
fancy, waywardness and folly.
She is annoyed by u dewdrop,
fretted by the touch of a butter
fy's wing, ready.to faint at the
sound OF a beetle or the rattle OF a
window sash at night, and is even
overpowered by the perfume of a
rosebud. But let real calamity
come, arouse her affections, N
kindle the fires of her being and
mark her then how strong is her
heart. Place her in the head of
battle, give her a child, a bird, or
anything to protect, and see her
lifting her white arms as a child,
as her own blood crimsons her
upturned forehead, praying for
her life to protect the helpless.
Transplant her into the dark places
of the earth, call forth her energies
to action and her breath becomes
a healing, her presence a blessing.
She disputes inch by inch the
strides of a stalking pestilence,
when man, the strong and brave,
pale and af%frighted, shrinks away.
Misfortune hurts her not; she
wears away her life in silent en-
durance and goes forth with less
timidity than to the bridal alter.
In prosperity, she is a bud full OF
odors waiting for the winds OF
adversely to scatter them abroad
gold, valuable, but untried in the
furnace.

Earthauake Philosophy.

Poverty has its compensations In
some matters. Thus the Mexican
poems who live in %one-story adobe
huts suffer little from earthquakes AZ
compared with their richer neighbours
who live in more ~pretentious houses
of stone. The earthquake shock re-
duces the sun-dried adobe to harmless
powder, but 1t piles stone houses
upon the heads Of those who live In
them. Poor and content" says the
poet, lis rich and rich enough"
It IL probable, however, that
the peon would be willing to ex.
change houses with the cabailero even
at the risk OF earthquakes. It Is the
disposition of mankind to set small
value on those things we have and
to place a high estimate on these thh1
we have not.
