No Tea in Office Hours.

From the New lOrk Times.
Whoever suggested the adoption in our
bracing atmosphere of the English Gus
tom of 4 o'clock tea in business of1ces
deserves rebuke. No New Workers, no
Americans in this degree Of latitude or
hereabout, need to stop work In the Dusl-
est hours of the day to drink tea. II we
are wise we breakfast lightly. lunch mod
era+ely and briefly, and in the evening
dine intelligently and without excess We
need nothing more to eat. The London
atmosnhere is oppressive. Along In the
a fternoon one who is working there feels
tho need of some sort of stimulative sus-
tenance and tea Is better than whisky
and soda. Sensible Americans, we like

drinking whisky in the daytime. most
Americans drink very little at any time.

Women in Politics.
= American in Harper's Weekly.


Women in the United States have
achieved their present spaciousness of
freedom and opportunity quickly, as We
reckon time in Europe. but not without
a struggle When the late Miss Susan B.
Anthony began her crusade in the
fifties, American women had their full
share Of disabilities. The masses Of
them were almost wholly uneducated.
High schools as we'll as colleges were
closed against them. Their appearance
on public platforms was social INSIDE
meanor of the first order. Except as
teachers or domestic servants they were
virtually cut off from employment. The
states had one and all excluded them
from the suffrage. The wife had no legal
existence. She could not own property,
buy or sell, sue or be sued, make a con-
tract, testify in court, or control her own
wages The father could apprentice young
children without the mothers consent
and dispose of them by will at his death
There was but one cause for divorce, and
the husband, though the guilty party,
could retain the property and the chill
dren. Things have moved since then.
Internationally. legally and industrially
there is today very little to choose be-
tween the status Of women in America
education matters have indeed proceeded
so far that a foreigner like myself is
tempted at times to wonder whether there
may not be some danger of American Gull
ture becoming slightly effeminate. As for
their civil and legal rights, women in
America have little to complain Of In
three-fourths Of the states married

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j..
December IA. 1912.
The vast expanse of ocean one sees
from the Boardwalk rail these winter
days has an appeal that midsummer does
not bring. Behind one the meadow
grasses are Drowned with the early
frosts: the wide fields are bare save for
here and there neglected shock of corn;
the hedges have lost their green; the
songbirds are thrilling far in the south
land, and man and his mate-the only
migratory things in nature upon which
the seasons have no effect-are left to
face the winds of winter by the sea. But
it is a mild winter that Atlantic City
doles out to her residents and visitors;
winter almost as mild AS that or 1air
Florida and lacking the atmospheric
dampness. The preholiday throngs are es-
tablishing themselves In second-story
apartments along the wooden way; In the
great beach front palaces; in the less pre-
tentious hostelries that crowd the side
streets, and in the cottages that have
been tenantless since September ID. The

JAPANESE MOURNING CUSTOMS.
Announcements of Illness and Death
Of Public Personages.

From the Christian Herald.
The old Japanese custom was to keep
all deaths of public personages concealed
from public knowledge. Even recently 1t
has been thought that the deaths Of
prominent men were not announced until
some days after they occurred.
So when reports of the critical illness
|of the emperor were given out some
weeks ago many people thought that he
were given out simply to prepare people
for the real news. But it soon became ap-
parent that a new policy was being fol-
lowed. the policy of taking the whole
emperor's condition. In fact. the bulletins
recorded symptoms and treatments that
would hardly be given to the public In
an American paper.
nation was watching at the bedside, and
we read that the emperor occupied a bed
three feet high in the center of apart
ments furnished otherwise in Japanese
style. The cars that skirt the palace
grounds went at slow speed all those days.
The fire gongs had been silenced, for he
was always SO concerned for his people
when the fire bells sounded. The tele-
phones were used instead for fire warn
ing.
Outside the moat, around the inner pal
ace grounds. is a large gravel plaza, and
here multitudes came to pray for the
life of their emperor Lines of school
girls bowling on the ground in the hot
sun, their teachers walking back and
forth tanning them: groups and scattered
ones, old and young men and women.
Buddhist priests. ShintO priests, Chris
tians, many who perhaps never in their
hearts prayed before. bowed deep in the
dust and offered their prayers.
Far into the night the scene was the
same. the police directing the people as
Ito where they might bow. One night a
photographer let off his fiashlight, and
the people were so enraged at the desecra-
ton that they attacked and killed him.

From Harper's Weekly.
The Isle of Man presents many curious
features none of which is more curious
than it's laws. For instance. the legis-
lature is called the house of keys. and
was in other times a judicial body
charged with the duty of interpreting
the laws Any person so bold as to
Islander this house of keys was liable not
only to a fine in the amount of $40, but
to the loss of both his ears.
Two deemsters We're once appointed to
execute the laws which before the year
1417 were uncodfied, and these We're
known as breast laws. for the reason
that they were impaired to the deemsters
in secret, to be kept by them within the
secrecy of their own breasts as long as
they chose, or during their whole service,
though they were authorized to impart
and explain to the populace as much of
these special laws as should at any time
seem wise and expedient.
Certain of the Manx laws, as set down
after the codification, are extremely quaint.
