WOMEN OF IAPAN..
The Old Time "Three Obediences" No
Longer Dominate Her.


From the beginning of Japanese his
tory to the introduction of Chinese
civilization women occupied a very
high place in Japan and filled positions
of importance and honor in state. re-
ligion and household. Several en-
presses at different times ruled the en-
pire. The greatest lights in the world
of pure japanese literature are both
women-Murasaki Shikibu and Sci
Shonagon. Their superb productions.
"Genji Monogatari'' and "Makurano
Soshi." are strong proofs of a large
measure of liberty and of high posi-
ton in society enjoyed by women of
the time. 1t was chiefly the Confu-
clan doctrine of the three obediences:
Obedience. while yet unmarried, to
father; obedience. while married. to
husband: obedience. while widowed. to
son. that changed the primitive state
of comparative freedom and independ-
ence Of woman. Buddhism and feudal-
ism contributed also to place women
in an inferior position and state of de-
pendence.
still occupy an inferior position in ia
pan under the law. But this is not
true. During the last fifty years fe-
male education has spread throughout
the country. Western Jurisprudence
has superseded Chinese and great
revolution has come over the social
and legal position of woman. The
new civil code of Japan created a new
legal woman. 1t proceeds upon the
principle of equality of the sexes and
makes no distinction between men
and women in their enjoyment and ex-
ercise of private rights so long as the
woman remains single. She may now
become the head of the house. She
may exercise parental authority over
her child. If her husband be dead she
may adopt children, she may make
contracts, acquire or dispose of prop
erty in her own name. In short, she
may be party to any legal transac-
ton so long as she remains unmarried.
When she is married her state of COW
erture obliges her to obtain the per-
mission of her husband before doins
certain acts. such as contracting debts
instituting legal proceedings. entering
into contracts OF personal service. etc.
But even though she does these acts
without her husbands permission. they
are not void. but only voidable.-

EYES OF A PIG.
Did You Know They Closely Resemble
Those of a Human Being?

Those OF Human Beng?
Your eyes are like a pigs. If any
body told you 50 you would doubtless
feel insulted. And yet such state
ment would be quite correct. Your
eyes are very much like a pig's-more
so. indeed. than they are like any other
animals.
This is one of the most curious
truths of physiology. A pigs eye so
closely resembles that of a human
being as to serve very important
practical purpose. Young men who
are learning to be eye doctors are
taught the rudiments of their business
with the help of pigs eyes. They dis
sect them and practice all sorts of
operations on them. from removing
cataract to the shipping of the muscles
which control the movements of the
eyes in their orbits. If an OculiSt hap
pens to be puzzled about an operation
he expects to perform. he sometimes
gets one or more fresh pigs eyes from
the butcher and makes experiments
with them.
A pigs eye in live pigs head does
not look much like human eye. 1t
is small and not very intelligent in
expression. When the pig is dead,
however, and the eye is taken out it
is hardly distinguishable from the eye
Of person.
Human eyes do not vary much in
size. and 10 themselves they have no
expression whatever. When it is said
that person has large eyes it means
simply that the opening between the
lids is larger than ordinary. 1t is the
lids that are wholly responsible for
ocular expression. which is capable of

that local packing house dealers have been asked to submit bids on 10000 pounds of meat by tomorrow morning, the SUD- plies to be furnished within 30 hours thereafter.
 Adjut. Gen. Joseph B. Scully has taken up with the various passenger agents of the city the question of transportation of troops to this city in the event they should be ordered to mobilize.
 So far as can be learned the war de- partment has taken every step toward calling together the state troops with the exception of issuing the order. Advices from Washington, received by General Scully state that large supplies of field equipment, including wagons, tents and other equipment. have been shipped to Montgomery. The next order from the war department will be for the mmedi- ate mobilization of the guard. General Scully refrains from discussing the ques tion. He admits that he has received sev- eral communications from Washington, but declines to dvulge their contents. He further declares that he has made all necessary arrangements for the inn mediate mobilization Of the troops and , that he can take care of 5000 troops at Montgomery in short notice.
 During the past few days the adjutant general has been besieged with applicants for commissions in the state militia. The various guard officers here have all sig nified their willingness to go to the front. and are awaiting with keen interest every development
