An Incident Of Old Janan.

On March ~, 1868, an English minis
ter was for the first time received with
ceremony by the mikado, and the story
Of that reception Illustrates remarkably
the transformation of Japan under Nut
suhito. Ii had been fixed for the pre-
vious day. but on his way TO the palace
Sir Harry Parkes was fiercely attacked
by two Japanese swordSmen. So sud
den and furious was the assault that
nine of the eleven men of the escort
were wounded. The nose of Mr.. Sa.
tow's pony and Sir Harry's belt were
cut. but Sir Harry himself was unin.
jured and pursued one of the assail
ants Mr. Freeman Milford found him
at the angle Of the street with the
headless body Of one OF our enemies at
his feet The other, samurai, was
degraded and executed: the reception
came of next day. and the mikado iS
sued decree forbidding all assaults
upon foreigners.

In the early part of the last century
there lived in an old New England
town Mr.. Church, who in the course
of his early life was bereft of four
wives, all IF whom were buried In the
same lot.
In his old age it became necessary to
remove the remains 70 a new Cemetery.
This he undertook himself. but in the
process the bones became hopelessly

not allow him under the painful cir

THE UMBRELLA.
Its Antiquity and Its introduction Into
English Writings.

English Writings.
Umbrellas were first used in coun-
try where the intensity Of the light
and heat rendered shade almost in
dispensabe. and discoveries at Nine
veh show that they were carried be-
fore the king in time of peace and
sometimes in war.
In 1905 Thomas Coryat Travelled In
Italy and wrote, THE people do carry
umbrellas that is, things that minister
shadow unto them for shelter against
the scorching of the sun"
In Beaumont and Fletcher's play,
1910. Rule a Wife and Have Wife, "
are these words, which prove that they
were then known in England: Are
you at ease? Now is your heart at
ease. Now you have got a shadow, an
umbrella, to keep the worlds scoreh-
ing opinion from your fair credit"
In 1856 Jonas Hanway died in a
house in Red Lion square. He was
the first man who ventured to walk
the streets of London with an um-
brella over his head
Or. Shebbear was committed in the
court OF kings bench for n libel and

A Scottish farmer whose farm was
on the hills to the north Of Strathmore
had bought, while on visit to Perth,
his stock of matches for the winter.
Possibly one or two Of the boxes may
have got damp on the way home. Any
way, when his wife took out the first
box she found that the matches would
not light The farmer also tried them
unsuccessfully, taking samples from
several boxes.
On his next visit to Perth he took
the pile of matchboxes with him and
threw them Indignantly on the counter
Of the tobacconist with the remark,
'They Wilma lichtr'
'Winna lichtp repeated the shop
keeper, surprised. He took out one
match, drew 1t smartly across the side
OF his trousers leg and brought 1t up
alight. The farmer watched him in
tently. and the shopkeeper repeated
this with a number of the matches,
each of which spluttered into fame.
What do you mean." he demanded
by sayin' they Wilma licht?"
"Aye," said the farmer, but do you
think l can come doom a the road to
Perth to hae rub o. your breeks every

One OF the curlosities of the house of
commons, very rarely seen, was Erie
Drax, for many years member for a
Dorsetshire borough. Once at II gen
eral election on the day previous to
the nomination he put out the follow
ing address to his constituents: "Elec
tors OF Wareham, | understand that
some evil disposed person has been
circulating report that wish my
tenants aud other persons dependent
upon me to vote according to their con.

Ambassador Bryce.

Ambassador James Bryce Ia the most
popular British representative ever
sent to Washington. This is said with
no desire to reflect on former ambas-
sailors and ministers from England,
for Mr.. Bryce has been more than a
diplomat. His book, the American
Commonwealth" has made him seem
an appreciative friend ard In spirit one
of ourselves. 1t is therefore with genu-
inc and universal regret that we learn
he is to go.
Mr.. Bryce belongs to the same high
rank as James Russell Lowell, John
Hay and some of the other ambassa-
doris we have sent to England. Fortu-
nately the British people appreciated
these men at their true worth, and It
was a gracious acknowledgment and
return of courtesy when they designat-
ed as their official representative In
Washington a man so famous In litera-
ture and craftsmanship as James
Bryce. His great book concerning this
country shows more insight, knowl-
edge and grasp than any treatise on
America since De Tocqueville's DE
mocracy." 1t is textbook in the Unit
ed States, which is about as high
compliment as could be paid a foreign
author writing on our affairs.
The usual foreign criticism of Amer
lea is too often shallow and grotesque
from its lack of knowledge. Some are
even snobbish, or worse, and few re-
veal comprehension of our life or in
situations. That sort of criticism is
mercifully going out now since Amer
lea became something of a vogue In
Europe. Bryce's book was published
twenty-four years ago before this
vogue began.

MILADYS HANDS.
How to Take Care of Them During the
Winter.

winter.
"oh, my hands are much too thin to
be prettyw said a girl the other day
when some one rather admired her slim
fingers.
But that is quite a mistaken notion
of hers. 1t doesn't necessarily follow
that a hand must be plump and dim
pied in order to be beautiful.
The well cared for hand cannot fail
to be a pleasing one, however it Is
shaped
No matter If your hand be plump or
thin, tanned by the sun or soft and
white, If 1t is to lay any claim to beau
ty the skin must be firm, smooth and
well cared for.
But | haven't time to trouble about
srch thingsr' exclaims the busy wo-
man.
But it really doesn't take loDg-only
a few minutes daily. Here are some
points to remember:
Never half wash your hands. TO do
this is merely to send what dirt Is left
In the pores farther in than 1t was
before.
Always remember after washing to
gently push back the cutlcle at the
base of the nail, and If hangnails seem
inclined to develop, rub little cold
cream or almond oil into the nails ev-
cry night.
If you like your nails to look polished
there Is no need to buy pad. The
palm of ones own hand makes an ex-
cellent one.
Sprinkle a wee bit of powder on 1t
and rub the nails of the other hand
vigorously backward and forward over
It, You will be delighted with the re-
suit.
To keep the hands soft and white, try
the following: 1t should be rubbed
well In after washing and Is very cheap
and easy to make:
Mix together equal quantities of
glycerin, olive oil and either lemon
juice or eau de cologne, according to
taste The oil and glyeern soften the
skin and the lemon juice or eau de
cologne whitens it and at the same
time acts as an astringent.
If at any time your hands are very
dirty, rub In little oil or other fat
before washing This loosens the dirt
and with warm water and good soap
1t Is easily removed

How to Eat a Boiled Eaa.

A great many people think the only
delicious way to eat boiled egg is In
its shell, and so that the top may be

are fascinating trines for the table
service as well as for actual use. Each
pair of scissors is In the form of u gay

and tho steel is gilded, The finger
loops of the scissors are left the natu-

and very tidy as well as cute for II
