The cells in every Japanese prison are practically sleeping dormitories, as the prisoners are engaged fin the work sheds all day or attending lectures and lessons in educational subjects, de pertinent and morality. The small Jas anese woman prisoner is even taught how to serve tea properly. because the Japanese have grasped the fundamen- tai truth that whatever raises a wom- ans self respect helps to eliminate bad habits-in a word. to reform her. The keen zest of the prisoners in Japan contrasts with the hopeless, hunted look of our women prisoners in Eng land. In Japan the women prisoners are learning. learning, learning all the time.

Princess Cantacuzene. who before she married a Russian prince some years ago was Julia Dent Grant. daughter of General and Mrs. Fred D. Grant and niece of Mrs. Potter Palm CT. is visiting in this country. With her two handsome boys she arrived from Russia recently, and it is her in- tention to show her boys the famous battlegrounds where their great-grand- father, General Ulyssus S Grant, won his victories during the civil war.
 The little chaps are keenly interested in American history, and there is nc doubt that with their soldier grand father for a guide they will learn more of the history of the rebellion than they ever could from books.
 The princess. as may be gleaned from her picture. is just as charming and girlish looking as a matron as she was as the pretty Miss Julia Grant.

Business Opening.

Girls who want to begin sewing as business can always find demand for well made shirt waists.
 The fancy blouse and the plain shirt are an excellent entering wedge into the professional world of dressmaking Most young women who have made their own shirt waists successfully have at any rate more originality in the matter of varying the plaits and of nice little touches of trimming than the overbusy dressmaker. who doesn't bother with shirts except to keep a customer.
 There arc girls ciubs in alDGost ev- cry village and city. and card or a dozen cards left there will usually bring all the customers a novice will care to contend with.
 Nobody shall say to what height the beginner may aspire. but certain it is that she who is willing to commence in a modest way on inexpensive mate rials and with little outstanding mon ey will the sooner reach height She will never regret the early days when she was. by a less ostentatious begin ming. enabled to study the customer and business detail in general
