A LAW VIOLATING PUBLIC Foley.

TTa HAT provision of the law procured by East Jersey Water
Company interests forbidding a municipality having a public
water supply to sell water to any other municipality that
is not contiguous to it has tied the hands of Jersey City and New
ark. Under the act only the private water company can supply the
excluded municipalities. AS the Senate has passed a repeater of the
law so as TO give liberty TO any municipality to relieve another's
necessities, without regard to contiguity or propfnquity, this clever
device of private water monopoly will doubtless now be knocked
cut-another disaster for East Jersey.

POL yDoRE QUESTION BOX.

Question-Can a palmist tell q
strangers name? How does he do it,
ANONYMOUS.
Answer-Any pianist who p~retends to
be able to tell your name is. without
any further circumlocution, a down
right fraud. He will either make you
write your name upon a slip Of paper
which he then pretends to press against
his forehead. while. In reality. he is
pressing another similarly folded piece
of paper to his forehead and. with his
folding your paper and reading What
you have written; or he has some other
still more palpably fraudulent means
of turning the trick"
Question-will you please teil me a.
there Is any sign in the hand showing
whether q person will be rich or poor?
JAMES CARLIN.
Answer-Whether a person will BIZ
rich or poor cannot be foretold and tho
only thing an honest palmist will VEN
outcome of your career will be. "juds-
ing" from your characteristics.
If he finds in your hand signs of In
d~olence. lack of energy or enterprise,
thoughtlessness and extravaganza or
stupidity, he needs no prophet to tell
him you will be poor.
II, contrariwise, the signs Indicate
great intelligence, energy. industry ans
thrift, what other conclusion can b.
drawn than that you will probably be
rich?
The signs in question will be treated
of in the course of these articles.
Question-If short fingers indicate
im-pulsiveness. and big knuckies de-
liberation. what happens If there are
big knuckles and short fingers? Or do
you mean to contend that such a situa-
ton never arises? II. P.
Answer-The same thing happens as
would happen If you put a restraining
hand upon an impetuous youth-it
makes him a bit cautious. The re-
strafning influence of reflection, the
presence of which is indicated by the
big knuckles, tempers and tones down
the hasty impulse indicated by the
short fingers.

larks which had been brought to me
when they were quite small BY the
time they were full grown. they would
run and fly all about our little house

the kitchen and sitting room. One of
them used to play hide-and- seek with
me in the garden. l would go away

W0MAh'S POSITION
IN THE ORIENT
Their Restricted Social Sphere Among
Japanese.

Until Chinese ideas came to be as
cendant, the japanese never thought
of keeping women in subsection. says
the Oriental Review. Feminine chief
tains are frequently mentioned in the
old histories and there have been
famous Japanese expresses.
The women of old freely joined the
men in fighting and hunting, and an
imperial edict of the year 6S1 author
lied them to ride astride instead of
sidesaddle fashion. me chinese even
seem to have thought that there was
a regiment of AmaZOns in Japan at
this time and often styled it the
queen country"
A form of recreation known as uta
gaki, or singing circle, was very COM
mon in those early days, and is the
oldest form of social gathering men
toned in japanese annals, in which
both sexes took part. Young and old
would assemble on a hill or in a field
and there recite poems and exchange
thoughts on poetry or literature.
Even the nobility did not disdain
the pleasure of an uta gaki This
of impromptu drama and the rustic
dance called bonodori. which takes
place on summer nights out of doors
all over provincial Japan, is believed
by some scholars to be a modern form
of the old time uta gaki.
In the classical period of japanese
literature from the eighth to the six
teenth century, men and women often
met together, amusing themselves
with competitions in poetry, in in
cense burning and i'm writing love let
tiers. Four hundred years of constant
warfare changed all this.
The old teachings in China and In
dia established the belief in Japan
that it was best that women be not
noticed by others, that their duties
were wholly domestic. and that APP
pearing out of doors was unbecoming
a faithful wife or dutiful daughter.
Garden parties. dinner parties, balls
and social calls are new importations

Except in the case of a compare
lively small number of aristocratic
and wealthy families. japanese homes
are too small and altogether too in
convenient for entertaining a large
number of guests. so that in cities
and towns large parties are as rule
given in restaurants. Men and women
generally come together in one room
on such an occasion, but one sex
forms a row on one side and the other
sex on the other, seldom exchanging
words across the wide space in the
middle. which is for the Mattresses
and the dishes of food
