JAP WOMEN'S IDEA
AMERICANS ARE ACCUSED OF
THE HABIT OF Discomfort.
When a Woman Is Wei Cared For
In General She Feels M.se Keenly
Little Neglect on Occasions.
BY Baroness coo. Of Japan.

In American homes the mistress
apparently receives the first consid-
GRAFTON. Therefore one would think
that American women are very hap
py But in reality they are. it seems
to me. in a rather unhappy, discon-
tented condition. If one takes de-
licious food all the time one does
not appreciate it, and, in the same
way. when a woman is cared for
cannot appreciate 1t as she ought,
and feels constantly disseminated
with her lot When a woman is
very well taken care of in general
she feels keenly even little neglect.
This comment seems justified by the
Tact that in America, where women
receive first consideration, there are
more cases of divorce than anywhere
else in the world.
II is easy to theorize about do
mestic life, but in reality domestic
life is a very complicated matter,
and one requiring great care and
Judgment. From nature, or habit,
man opposes the suggestion of wo-
man. Accordingly, in order to bring
a man to any desired point of view.
a woman must have the tact not to
express herself too openly. so. also,
It is not well to scold and criticise
too much, for this makes children
scorn and contradict their mothers.
A mother must acquaint herself
widely with the world ana with the
dispositions and indlvidualities of
10 their highest usefulness.
Domestic wellbelns is entirely in
the power of the wife. If one man
Is strong enough to bend the will
Of the ruler, the country is safe
so runs the old Chinese saying; in
like manner in the home the wife
takes the place of that one man.
It is different with those women
whose responsibility reaches beyond
the home, but with those who are
only wives and mothers the ideal is
to shield themselves behind the hus-
bands name and not be known be-
fore the world. If a girl marries
with this ideal her home will always
be in peace It is instructive for a
good wife and wise mother not to
wish to be known publicly.
Comenting upon the above the
editor of a paper of Toxic, says
In proportion to the fame of
Baron Goto the name OF Baroness
Goto is not well known to the world.
Baroness Goto does not seek public
ity; on the contrary she carefully
keeps her seclusion as housewife and
mother That which is especially
remarkable in her character is her
total lack of vanity and her para
mount ideal Of duty as wife and
responsibility as mother.
Baron Shinpai Goto. who has af-
forced to his wife the widest oppor-
tunities of culture and travel is one
of the leading men in Japan's ma
tional life to-day Since the Russo
Japanese War he has held the inn
portant position of president of the
Manchur'an Railway system, and
has now been placed at the head OF
the railway and postal systems of
japan under the rev Katsura min
istry."

Hats and Badness.

From the New York Times.
Surgeon j. o. Conn Of the United
States public health and marine hospital
service is Of the opinion that badness is
not congenital, excepting. possibly. in
cases where the son inherits his fathers
lofty brow, that II is not due to dandruf.
to parasites, or to any skin diseases. and
that the hair folicles, once atrophied.
cannot be restored. The sole cause 0f
badness is the constructing bands or
hats. Men whose heads are of domelike
conformation are most subject to tho
pressure of their hats, and. above the
zone OF the hatband. are most afflicted
with calvities. In the New York Medi-
cal Journal DIR. Conn says:
'If a mans head Is very wide. or II
he is very prominent fore and aft that
man will become bald in time. because
such a person. to make his hat mt
snugly, invariably pulls 1t down tight
The man with low brow and thick,
heavy hair rarely is bald. II one wears
the hair long and thick 1t acts as
cushion and prevents In a large meas
ure the construction caused by the hat
band"
The ringletted cavaliers. we imagine,
were not subject to this affection, and
the close-cropped roundheads who over
threw them were really responsible for
the modern fashion of badness. DIR.
Conn suggests that. in this age OF con-
trivances in shoes. suspenders and braces
somebody ought to be ingenious
enough to make a hat that will stay on
I'm a breeze without impeding the cir
culation in the scalp. Invention that
takes the perverse forms of hair tonics.
restorers and apparatus for electrical
massage would thus be forestalled. AT
present only low-browed gentlemen can
wear hats and keep their hair.

Automatic Telephones.

From the Chicago News.
According to the head of Austria's tele-
graphs the automatic telephone exchange
system can be made to compete seriously
with the manual system He says that
in New York it takes on the average
sixteen seconds from the time the sub
scriber removes his telephone receiver to
the time the ringing signal is set. where
as in the automatic system installed in
Vienna for 100000 subscribers this work
is done in but ten seconds Three sec
onds after the subscriber hangs up the
receiver the line is clear. Owing to this
saving Of time a larger number of mes
sages can be delivered through the auto
matte exchange than through the manual
exchange.
