THE PARADISE OF BABIES.

Japanese Find No Trouble Too Great
I'm Giving Pleasure to Children.
Japan, the F'lowery Land-the Land
of the Cherry Blossom and the Chrys-
anthemum-is happy place for the
wee folk to live in. No trouble is too
great for the japanese if it brings
pleasure to the treasure flowers as
their babies are called. hence small
wonder is it that tears are but seldom
seen.

Japanese are in many respects, and

Rest Women to Marry.

Country girls are seldom old maids
Indeed, in the opinion of Prof VIII
liam Thomas of the University of Chi
cago they are the best sort of women
in the land for man to marry. Prof
Thomas calls city girls artificial beau
ties and as proof points to the profes
sional beauty specialists who make a
living "doctoring" faces. He places
the charge of extravaganza against
the city society girl and holds her
country sister up as the saving grace
for the matrimonially inclined.
Luxury is the barrier to the ma
trimonial young men and women OF
the Cities" he declares. "Matrimony
to the well-to-do must mean luxury
and the average young man does not
want to assume that contract"
In resorting to the country and emu
lating the graces of the country girls
city women are but following the adj
vice of the Chicago professor.
Girls, study your country sisters,
he said recently. stop this everlast
ing fashion of stroking a shaggy poo
die and wasting time on Teddy bears
and the manageable men will have
more time for you.
There is often ring at the door OF
the city-bred girl that she refuses to
answer because she is either resting
trying to gain strength after an ex
hadsting night with society or be-
cause she is busy reading some work
on beauty restoring Go out into the
country. Live the life of your country
sisters and the bloom of health will
come to your cheeks without the aid OF
cosmetics"

To Wash Corsets.

First rip the front seam on both
sides and take out the steels. Then
dissolve some soap jelly, made by
shredding half a pound of the best
yellow soap in one quart of boiling
water. and simmering until dissolved
in warm water. Two tablespoonfuls
of jelly to half gallon of water is
usually sufficient. but hard water may
require more. Put the corsets into
the suds and allow them to soak for
FIVE minutes. Then spread them on a
board and brush thoroughly with a
well soaped nail brush, dipping them
occasionally into the suds to remove
the loosened dirt. When clean. rinse
through two lots of warm water and

Women's Clothing.

Dr. Haig Ferguson in a lecture at
the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary the
other day had some severe things TO

woman. 1t was hampered by fashion
and superstition and nothing could be

and powerful muscles of women than
the fact that their health had survived

all condemned. But, then, women will

The Sublime Porte.

The phrase the sublime porte"
arises from an aspect of the sultan's
capital. The French words sublime

lima" meaning the lofty gate" Con-
stantinople city used to have twelve
gates, and near one was building
with an imposing gateway called Bab-i
Humajun In this building resided
the grand vizier, and there also were
the officers of the chief ministers.

sued The French phrase was adopted
because at the time French was the
language of European diplomacy.

Inertia of the Nerves.

The researches and experiments of
a French scientist have led him TO
the conclusion that the cerebral nerv-
Gus system is incapable Of perceiving
more than an average of ten separate

excitation of the nerves a period of
inertia follows. lasting about one-tenth
OF a second, and during this period a
new impression cannot be made. Ac-

DIKEMAN -IDITAROD
 SURVEY SOON COMPLETE

Just about tue time this paper goes to press, the arrival of the survey party from Dikeman, with L. s. Robe ill charge, should be announced.
 Last Saturday they had arrived at Murray's roadhouse, after talk ing IT days in gong from Murray's $ to Dikeman and back again. Robs was in the lead with the surveying instruments, while behind him a party was at work cutting out the road that will constitute the govern ment mail highway this winter.
 According to MT, Murray, the distance by the trail from his road house to Dikeman was E miles, the distance from the roadhouse to this city being estimated by Robe at I6 miles.
 This work was authorized by Major Richardson, head of the road commission on his visit here last summer and will be paid for out of road commission funds.
 It will constitute practical high way after the freezeup for trans portation of whatever freight may be caught at the lower city, which is now generally admitted to be very limited. According to the call for bids on the mail contract, the mail must come through that town ill spite of the fact that there will be scarcely anyone living there this winter.
 The much talked-of trail from Dikeman 10 Discovery Otter seems to have been entirely abandoned since there is no further reason for its existence.
 A. E. Light, local representative Of the Road Commission, left last week to meet Robe and the clearing crew to take charge of the work to this city.
