RULES FOR THE JAP BRIDE
How She Is Taught to Make Her
Husband Happy-Treats His
Mother Well.

That the movement to free wom-
an from the bonds of Overbearing
man receives but little encourage
ment in the sunny land of Japan is
evident from the commandments
given to japanese wives on their
wedding morning by their moth
ers, says the London Express.
The behests are known as the
"Twelve Commandments of the
Bride" and read as follows:
Il. The moment you are mar
ried you are no longer my daugh-
ter. Therefore, you must obey
your parents-in-law as you once
obeyed your father and mother.
~. When you are married,
your husband will be your sole
master. Strict obedience to her
husband is the noblest virtue a
wife can possess.
20. Always be amiable toward
your mOther-in-law.
"a. Do not be jealous; jealousy
kills your husbands affection for
you.
20. Even though your husband
be wrong, do not get angry; be pa
tient, and when he has Gained
down then speak to him gently.
IS. Do not talk too much; speak
no evil of your neighbOrs; never
tell lies.
~. Rise early, retire late, and
do not sleep in the afternoon
Drink little wine, and until you
are 80 take no part in public as
nor mingle in crowds.
IS. Consult no fortune-teller.
"9. Be a good manageress, and
especially be economical in your
household.
40. Although you may marry
young, do not frequent too youth
full society.
al. Do not wear bright-colored
garments. Always be neatly but
modestly dressed.
"12. Do not pride yourself on
your fathers rank or fortune. II
he is a rich man never allude to
his riches before your husbands
relations"
These rules are similar to those
which were in vogue in japan hun
dreds Of years ago, as is indicated
in the interesting book on Japan
csc women by Mr.. s. Takaishi, in
the "Wisdom Of the East" series.

ART OF CHINESE IN STONE
Oriental Work Shown by Monohth
Figures Of Men and Animals ON
Tomb Approaches.

The spirit of purely Chinese ar!
In stone is shown in work such as
the great monolith figures of an
imals and warriors which flank
the approach to the tombs of the
Ming dynasty and in the perfectly
plain structures designed for the
tombs of the present dynasty.
These are composed of enOr-
nous blocks of stone brought with
infinite labor from distant quar-
ries over roads and bridges which
are hardly capable of sustaining
ordinary cart traffic and nave al
ways to be specially prepared to
prevent the great weights causing
their collapse.
The same admiration for the
employment of huge blocks Of
stone is seen in the case of the
bridges over the rivers along the
coast of South Fukien, where the
stone slabs used in the cOnstruc
ton occasionally measure go feet
in length and are estimated to
weigh nearly 100 tons, and the
bridges themselves have a length
Of 1000 to 1000 yards.
In almost all cases where the
buildings are not of solid construc-
ton the weight of the blocks EN-.
ployed has placed strain upon
the supports which the architects
skill was not competent to pro.
vide against, and with the lapse of
time the melancholy spectacle is
seen of slabs fallen from their
places and of noble and costly
structures approaching ruin. III
some cases the interdependence OF
the arches leads to the same re-
suit. One notable instance of this
occurred during Col. Gordon's
against the Taipings,
when to allow of the passage OF |
his small steamers it was neces
sary to make a gap in bridge Of
over 20 arches, and arch after arch
collapsed Immediately after the
passage Of his small fotilla.

WHY WIDOWS DO NOT READ
100 Busy Enjoying Themselves to
Give Time TO Books-They

After dinner the woman called
on two friends. They were a mar
ried couple. They had not been
married 80 very long, says the New
York Press.
The wife, who was suffering
from slight cold, lay on the couch
among the pillows. She had on a
red kimono. She was very pretty,
with red to match in her cheeks.
In her hands was a book. 1t hap
pened to be of the same color as
her kimono, which was also pref
ty. Attached to her book was !
tiny little electric light, with a
shade. The battery lay by her
side.
The husband reseated himself
at the center table. By his side
was an open book with a paper
knife keeping the place for him. 1t
was under the reading lamp.

she took her seat in a big arm

"About six months" said they
simultaneously.
The woman, who had just come
from gay dinner party where she
had laughed for two hours with q
lot of friends, glanced quickly
from one to the other, taking in
the books, the lamps, their atti-
tudes Of repose, the quiet of the
room, the air Of having finished

Striking Suit.

BY far the most fetching suit seen
this spring was Of soft white serge,
trimmed with white silk braid about
an inch wide. The lustre OF the braid
and the dull texture of the serge made
a delightful contrast. Two rows Of the
braid ran down each side of the skirt,
with a row of buttons between them.
These buttons, like those used be-
tween rows Of braid on the coat. were
covered with pale blue satin. The
coat was lined with the same satin.

spring garments. on the bust only.

ORIGIN OF BARBER's POLE.
Real Truth Regarding Long Estab-
lished Custom of the Tonsor-
ial Artists.

AS in the case of many other
simple things, the origin of the
BARRIERS pole has been attributed
to the most outlandish and far
fetched sources, among others
the association with the word
"poll' head, with which the bar
Der has chiefly to do, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer. AS a matter of
simple history, however, and not
SO long ago, either, the barber

tale.
The staff which every patient
about to undergo bloOd-letting
was given to hold in his or her
hand during the proceedings was
frequently, when not in use,
placed outside the door, and soon
became the recognized sign Of the
self-cOnstituted phlebotOmist's
profession. Now two long band
ages were used in the operation,
one twisted around the arm be-
fore bleeding and the other used
to bind afterward; these would
often be kept wound around the
poll for convenience, so as to be
ready at hand when needed, and

The Ingenuity of Inventors.

The ingenuity of inventors and
manufacturers is ever at work in the
endeavor to reduce the expense Of
production, and at the same time to
improve the quality OF articles having
a large sale. This is not only benef-
cial to the purchasing public. but It
inures to the benefit Of the producer
in increasing sales and preventing
competition. This has been so in the
case of farm machinery, clothing.
shoes, bicycles, etc, and now 1t is APP
parent I'm the safety razor field. Thou
sands OF this style of razor have been
sold at from $3.50 to So each and tpv-
en- satisfaction. Recently manufac-
turers have applied more scientific
principles and improved methods in
heir manufacture. and the result is
seen in the "Shrp Shavr" razor, which
is sent postpaid for twenty-five cents
in stamps by the Book Publishing
House, 1874 Leonard street, New
York. It is superior to any razor
sold, being bought largely by those
already owning the highest priced
razors Not every one knows that
the best results are obtained by hay
ing two or three razors and alternat-
ing them in use. This practice OF al
ternating possibly accounts for the
very large sale of this low priced Inn
plement
