HINTS FROM JAPAN.

Heading For Girls—Potatoes For Seven Days—Drawi rig Dlagraou as a Business. '•», Some,

Mrs. St. John Bramball, writing of "Wee 3|$-' Oo«i8 In Japan," undertakes to give some rejLsoni. why Japanese children are so very r' Roocl. The little Jap never seems to do ary mischief indeed the doctrine of origin.il sin seems absolutely confuted by his

ail snirable behavior. One reason of her own is that the child is guided by love, not chastisement that the boy is taught to be manly and the girl to be womanly. Another borrowed reason is that there is nothing in the Japanese homefor him to break or damage that owing to the simple furnishings he is not being constantly told he mustn't do this or he mustn't do that, he mustn't touch this or he mustn't touch that hence he is good almost in spite of himself. Tho critic wonders if Americans may not profit by some of the suggestions and learn "to Japan our nurseries and public places with the varnish of rest ajd comparative comfort."

If only every home with children had a nursery or a room devoted to them, but in the city house this is often practically impossible. Instead there are generally two classes, those where the children are allowed to usurp with their noise and games every portiou of the abode and those where every part is too good for the children. A happy mean here as elsewhere seems impossible. Often the mother who blandly tells you she believes in lettinu children have a good time is teaching them to be destructive and selfish little tyrants, regardless of other people's rights, wishes and nerves.

On the other hand, who does not pity the children in the home furnished so finely that they must not enjoy themselves anywhere in it? The importance of simplicity In the home is yet to be appreciated in its influence on children's lives and tempers. In America there is a great tendency to ignore the best purpose and uses of the home. Comfort is too often sacrificed to fashions, and articles of furniture are selected more for show than stability. Children are tormented into being naughty by their surroundings and then unfairly punished for breaking some costly piece of bric-a-brac. This is spoken of as a child ridden country, and yet, after all, the American child may have a grievance which the good little Jap has not.

Kate Douglas Wiggin, in a paper on "Children's Rights," says, "I have a good deal of sympathy for the little people during their first eight or ten years, when they are just beginning to learn life's leBsons, and when the laws which govern them must often seem so strange and unjust." Mrs. Wiggin claims that a child hns aright to a place of its own, to things of its own and to surroundings which have some relation to its size, its desires and its capabilities. She speaks aisoof theory, "Mustn't touch," for. disobeying which the child is spanked, with no method of revenge save to spank buck on the inoffensive dolly.— Brooklyn Eagle.

Heading Cor Girls.

Is It generous or just to excite natural curiosity over widely circulated books and then issue a dictum that our daughters must not read them while we ourselves are absorbed in their contents? Surely age aud experience owe more than unreasoning tyranny to youth and eagerness. Could not any budding maiden understand fully tho situation if she was told of certain books afloat in tho literiary world? "They are studies In certain phases in life which are interesting to men and women and which you, too, may care to examine by and by, but. now they are of no use to you— of no possible benefit—therefore it is best that you should leave them unread for a time." 1 Yfcuth is the season for beauty, for poetry, for passion and hopes, not for philosophy, analysis and dissection, and if we stimulate a desire for strong food at too early a stage by holding it near at hand and arbitrarily denying it at spasmodic ifttervals it is our own fault if the freshness and joyousness of mental vov\th soon give place to a blase view of life in general which is more hopeless than the most profound ignorance. What shall we do, then, that th6 young woman of the future shall have as pure and fresh a brain as the body \vq are striving to perfect shall be?

The answer immediately suggests itself. See to it that her intellectual life has the same training as her physical one. Begin at the very beginning and surround her baby brain as you do her tiny body with soft wrappings and delicate perfumes, give her opouing childhood plenty of free, fresh exercise in the best possible atmosphere (there never was better chance for healthy reading for children than there is at hand today), watch her closely as she nears her early womanhood, and see to it that the beaut iful, the poetic aud tho good are about her nil tho time by atul by, as she develops into long dresses, give her some philosophy and thought, and then. If you have helped her so far on her way, you may send her whenwo'er you will, aud she cannot fail to do you honor.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

For Seven Day*.

On Sunday have them mushed —not poumlnl into a sodden mass, but whisked into a creamy substance. To attain this they should be peeled, steamed, broken with a potato whip, moistened with milk and butter, seasoned with wilt and pepper and beaten like a batter until they are very light.

On Monday bake them in their skins. They should be washed clean, baked in a good oven nod served at once.

For Tyeaday they may be peeled and baked with a roast. When the meat is withiu half an hour or so of being ready, lay them in the gravy under it and bake until they are coveted with a crisp brown skin.

On Wednesday serve them in Kentucky style. These are sliced thin as for frying, soaked in cold water for half hour, put in a pudding dish, with salt, pepper and milk, imhI baked for an hour.

On Thursday serve them fried whole, Peel and boil them. Roll in beaten egg. then in cracker crumbs and fry it* batter,

On Friday have potatoes a la Parisietme. Wash and rub them with a coarse doth nu I- til they are skinned, drop into boiling ter and boll until done. Have ready la ft saucepan some hot cream and batter, a lit* tie green paisley, pepper and salt, Pour the water off the boiled potatoes, cover with this and let It stand.

On Sn turd ay boil the potatoes in their 3-akius and serve with butter.

Pwwtny IMayram* as a Bitrtww. ^hrdoo0tww*«at»k»io th* of diagrams? is a question of U» quickly aaked but slowly answered ktnd. Parthe most practical imwr to bmJuU

that one or two women are pursuing this eminently appropriate but somewhat neglected career, one being Miss Edith Lanchenter. Miss Lanchester comes of an artistic family (one sister is an artist and a brother an architect), and she learned scarcely anything but drawing in early childhood. But as she grew older she went through the more usual educational curriculum, attended classes at the Birkbeck, and finally prepared to become a teacher at the Maria Gray college. For some little time Miss Lanchester has been occupied with private coaching, but she has found time also to draw a considerable number of diagrams for lecturers on scientific subjects, especially anatomy.

Finding that there is a good and increasing demand for diagrams, Miss Lanchester has been encouraged to give more of her attention to this branch of drawing and to make it her chief concern. Diagrams for exhibition before a small number of students she paints and finishes in a most careful manner, hut she executes her work on a much larger and striking scale for the use of popular audiences. Miss Lanchester has not undertaken the making of a diagram for scientific books, but as she has a knowledge of microscopic work she might turn her attention in this direction should occasion arise. But so long as the lecture continues to be the general vehicle of instruction it is likely that Miss Lanchester. or any other lady pursuing the career, wiil find that lecturers furnish the majority ,of her patrons.—London Queen.

Typical American Girls.

American types of girlhood are many and varied. There is the slender, pink cheeked New England girl, as upright and unbending in her moral nature as she is in her spinal column. She is a trifle angular perhapB, both physically and mentally, but she has in her composition more than a dash of the stuff that martyrs are made of. Lydia Blood, "the Lady of the Aroostook," is her prototype and she was as sweet and genuine as a girl could possibly be. The western girl is louder in tone, breezier in manner and far less hemmed in by conservatism, for, unlike her New England sister, Bhe has never been one of a large colony of superfluous women, but has, on the contrary, associated all her life with men who have imbued her with their larger masculine way of looking at things. The western girl is often cruelly misunderstood and misrepresented by her detractors, who mistake her frank comradeship with men for boldness and vulgarity of nature.

The southern girl is traditionally beautiful and fascinating, but incapable and filled with the languors of her sunny climate. This last, in view of the recent achievements of young southern women in art and literature, needs no denial. But certainly In no part of our country is such chivalry and deference shown to girlhood as in the south. A southern girl receives the deference of'her father and brothers as a matter of course, and like a young princess graciously accepting the loyal service of her subjects. Perhaps the simple habit of expecting to get what she wants without fear of failure helps her to success when her wishes involve the exertion of her own talent or ability.—Philadelphia PressC

Inartistic Draping.

Have you a "throw" or a "drape" in your boudoir or parlor? Are you sure that it is an artistic and not an incongruous bit of decoration? Edmund Russell denounces the "throw" as "decorative art in the throes of death agony," and thus traces its evolution

In the beginning some artist in foreign travel picked up a bit of oriental drapery— a section of altar hanging—beautiful in design and color. Searching in his studio a harmonious setting for his much prized fabric, he cast it lightly across one corner of an oriental screen, and, beholdl a felicitous juxtaposition—an exquisite scale in eolor.

Into the artist's den came a wealthy patron, alert for hints on novel decoration. The orientol study caught her eye, and forthwith in her own drawing room, across a red plush screen, embroidered in peacocks, she wreathed a Roman scarf in green and yellow. At her afternoon tea a struggling society girl, a scale lower in importance, marked the daring flight in decoration and said to her mamma, "I see they are using scarfs to drape things with." So mamma and daughter ironed the creases from an ancient purple sash and festooned It grotesquely about the brass plaque of Gedrge Washington.

Yet another day, and a visitor to the third arrangement in "throws" went home to wind a passe blue berege veil around a plaster cast of Moses. The dealers caught the edge of this hapless wave from the orient and the world of art, and the windows and shop doors blazed with glittering gaudities inscribed, "Choice for 25 cents marked dowu from 45."

Sewing an Buttons.

An adept in sewing on buttons says it is a good plan to tie together both ends of the thread firmly after sewing on each button. Leave the thread, say, an inch or more long in first passing the needle through the button. After attaching the latter, pass the thread holding the needle over the short piece left at the beginning, crossing the ends then pass the short piece over the long one, thus making a firm knot. In some cases a third tie is desirable. Supposing the thread is strong enough for the purpose, and that it is sewed through the button a sufficient number of times, this plan will hold as long as any, but it is a difficult mattei to procure good sewing cotton. The Btrong silk called "buttonhole twist" may be relied upon for sewing buttons onto cloth garments, and a moderately fine crochft cotton for stout undergarments. With fine liifen, however, or cambric it will be necessary to fasten off, sewing the buttous with a few buttonhole stitches, which are also a kind of knot.—Philadelphia Ledger.

To Button Boot*.

"In buttoning shoes there is no need to rip off buttons and split out buttonhole so often. Half the women don't know how to handle a buttonhook, and that is the trouble," said a girl who was on her knees trying on a pair of shoes for a cus tomer. "Most women take the buttonhook, and after catching the button in it turn the hook straight over backward to force the button through the hole. That is all wrong. See how quick the but tons will fly off that way," and she illus trated and sent four buttons flying into the air as a result. "Now do this way. Put the hook through the buttonhole and take hold of the button with it. Then keep the buttonhook fiat and swing it around in a half circle, always keeping the hook level where it holds the button. This saws the wear and tear on the buttonhole stitch log, and the buttons will stay sewed cm four times as long.1'—Shoeaud Leather Facts.

This does not apply to uncleanly persons any more than tfl• those who are excessively neat, and an extremely nervous person will give off more odors than who is more phlegmatic.

Pull the windows down a up, so that there will be a good draft air.—Washington Star.

A Beautiful Woman.

The most beauteous among the beautiful was Mme. Leon Daudet, the "Jeanne" of

immortal grandfather, Victor Hugo. "I used to," writes Mrs. Crawford, "when she was nearly through her teens, think it a pity she should be a day older, so much of her beauty seemed to lie in freshness ancF in innocent expression. But she has gone from fair to fairer. One cannot imagine beauty more perfect. It has regularity, expression, softness, grace, artlessness, composure, and, in short, is poesy incarnate. The worst hearted woman alive afflicted with a plain face could not envy this suave being. She is wonderfully distingue. lean imagine Helen, when the Trojans on seeing her forgave the woes she brought upon them, looking like Victor Hugo's granddaughter

Mrs. Comyns Carr.

^Mrs. Comyns Carr, the wife of the popular and successful manager of the London Comedy theater, has contributed by her active and intelligent co-operation in a large degree to the brilliancy of her husband's career. To cdhsi^erable literary skill Mrs. Carr adds a complete knowledge of the laws of decoration. In matters of stage costume she has acquired almost unique skill and authority. The dresses of several of Mr. Irving's plays and revivals have been designed by her, and her assistance to Miss Terry in this regard has been frequently acknowledged.—London TitBits.

Iady Monckton.

Lady Monckton of London is not only a brilliant society woman, but a successful shopkeeper and an actresa For a good many years she was only an amateur, but after her children were grown she made her debut as a professional and achieved great success. When shopkeeping became fashionable, Lady .Monckton and Miss Frith opened a small emporium of linens and embroideries at "The Sign of the Spinning Wheel."—Boston Woman's Journal.

Children Sleeping,

If you have two children, one robust and strong and the other delicate and sickly, never let them sleep together. The stronger child will draw from the strength of the more delicate, and the effect would be disastrous. Neither should a young child sleep with one who is very much older. In fact, it is now an accepted theory that double bedsteads are a menace to good health if occupied by two persons.—Health Journal.

To Test Black Silk.

Says an expert in The Dry Goods Economist: "To test whether black silk is heavily 'weighted' take a small sample of the fabric and burn it. If the silk is pure and has not been 'doctored,' it will burn readily to a crisp brittle ash of a gray black color. If, however, the silk burns slowly and with difficulty, leaving a soft dusty ash of red or reddish brown color, it is proof that the silk is very inferior in quality."

When Ironing.

*When you are ironing, don't pile the freshly ironed garments on theclotheshorse to dry by slow degrees. Spread them out so that they will dry rapidly, and they will not be wrinkled. If collars and cuffs are very slow to dry under the iron, put them in the hot sun or close to the stove they will then be as stiff again as they would be if you ironed all the starch out of them trying to dry them.

Beauty Baths.

Beauty baths were very much" in favor among French ladies of bygone years. Mme. Tallien used to take a bath prepared of strawberries and raspberries, 20 pounds of the former and 2 of the latter being crushed and thrown into the bath. This had the effect of rendering the skin very soft and delicately tinged with pink, while giving it a beautiful perfume. $

Care of Sponges.

The little sponge racks sold at the house furnishing stores should be in every bathroom. Those of open work wire permit the air to circulate about the sponge so that it dries quickly and is kept free from odor. Wash your sponge and rinse it thoroughly in clean warm water after using. Squeeze the water out, for wringing breaks the fibers of the sponge.—New York Post.

Women In New Zealand.

I have traveled in many countries, but no other land have I seen the courtesy and unobtrusive chivalry habitually exhibited to women, whether young or old, by New Zealand young men of every condition and rank. The status of a New Zealand woman is considerably higher than that of her sister in Australia or England.—I-etterFrom New Zealand. ^^'^5

The Little Postman.

Jijou is a small pug with a very black nose and a very curly tail, just ugly enough to be admired for his ugliness. He used to be considered by every one except his mistress a very stupid little fellow. He did not like children, and was not at all playful. He spent most of his time looking out of the window and barking at cats.Jjg|^|,

Now this §tory will show you how sadly he was misjudged and what a really intelligent, bright doggie he is.

His mistress was married and went to live in auother house on the same street about five blocks away. She took B'jou with her, of course. But the dog still liked his old home aud regularly every morning after breakfast he went back there to make a visit, always returning to his new home before dinner.

One day his mistress was sick and wished to send a message to her mother. How could she send it? There was no one in the house but herself. Suddenly she thought of Bijou's daily visits to his old home. Why might he not be her messenger? So she wrote a note, pinned it to his harness and started him off. In about half an hour here came the little letter carrier trotting down the street with another note pinned to his harness. He begged to be let into the house, and when his mistress unpinned the note—which was a reply to the one she sent—and petted him he expressed his delight in every way he could.

Since that day he has been a regular letter carrier between the two houses. After breakfast, when he gets ready to make his call, he presents himself to his mistress and barks and begs until he gets his letter. When she lets him out, he starts off like a real postman, never looking to the right or left nor stopping to play with the dogs he meets.

He always insists upon having a.reply to his note—which is often only a piece of white paper—and almost any morning one may see this cunning little pug postman trotting gravely along the streets with his letter.—Alice Cowan in Our Little Men and

Swedish Birthdays*

Children in this country, however much they may enjoy birthday celebrations and gifts, are quite content to have them once a year, but the fortunate children of Sweden have three birthdays in the course of every 12 months. First and most important is the real birthday, but the other two are also occasions for festivity and the presentation of small gifts. These two days are those whose names the Swedish boy or girl bears, for every day in the Swedish calendar has its own special name, besides the weekly name which it lx-ars like the days of other countries.

Sometimes the parents give the child one name which is not to be found in the Swedish calendar, so that there is occasionally a sorrowful plaint such as the one mode by the little girl who explained regretfully to some English friends that she had "only two birthdays." "One of my names is Sigrid," she said, "and there isn't any day for that!"

Every day has a special name in the German calendar as well, and some of the names, allowing for the difference in language, are the same in corresponding dates in the two calendars. The observance of such "namesake days," however, is not by any means so common in Germany as in Sweden.

To

ears the glib statement

made by a little Swedish girl who was asked as to the date of her birthday, "The 15th of March, 22d of May and 19th of November," has at first decidedly strange sound.—Youth's Companion.

The Dancing Pea.

Push a pin through a green pea, making the two ends as nearly as possible the same weight—that is, let the point come a little more than half way th{ough. Then break the stem of a common clay pipe, and the toy will be complete.

To make the pea dance put it on top of the pipe stem, the point of the pin sticking down the bore. Throw your bead back so that the stem may be held vertically, and blow gently. This will make the pea rise. Keep blowing harder until the pea rises entirely from the pipe and is supported in the air. It will now begin to spin around and round turn over and over, all the while bobbing upand down as long as the current of air is kept up.

The dance may be changed fy pushing the pinup to its head. The pea will now rise to tbe top of the {ripe and dance slowly and with great dignity around the c*ge,or if the blower stops t# laugh it is apt to fall Into the opan mouth below.

CONGRESSMAN CONN, PUBLISHER.

An Interesting Sketch of the Alan WTio Hw Bought a Washington Daily. Representative Conn of Elkhart, Lnd., has purchased the Washington Times, a paper that was started here a few months ago by members of the Typographical union, but has made very little headway. After being assessed $5 or $10 every week for several months to make up deficiencies the stockholders got weary of their enterprise, and at their last meeting decided to sell out, whereupon Mr. Conn, who is a millionaire and already owns several newspapers in northern Indiana, agreed to take the burden off their hands, pay an appraised price for the plant andi settle all the debts of the concern.

Mr. Conn is a notable and eccentric character, and his history is a romance. A few years ago he had a bench in tho corndr of a jewelry store iu Elkhart, where he mended watches, clocks and musical instruments. One day while repairing a tuba an idea occurred to him that was worth several million dollars and resulted in the invention of a rubber mouthpicoe for musical wind instruments, which was patented and immediately adopted all over the world. This lucky little hit made Mr. Conn's fortuna At Ellchart he established one of the largest factories in the world for the manufacture of brass and silver musical instruments, which is run on the co-operutivo plan, and the profits are divided between himself and his employees. He has been mayor of the town several times and can come to congress from that district as long as he likes. He believes in organized labor and stands half way between the Democratic and Populist parties. He is against tho administration, particularly its silver policy, and his object in buying the paper is to establish here an organ to exj)ress the sentiments of those who believe in silver money. It is said, too, that he intends to mako a very lively paper, something in the sensational line, which will be a new thing in Washington.—Washington Lotter

A White Baboon.

The white baboon whichrecentjy arrived in England is a representative of a specics extremely rare—so raro indeed that not only is this tho only specimen in captivity, but its existence has been regarded as chimerical. The animal now in England was captured two years ago from its mother when quite a baby, by a party of Trek Boers in the Murchisas range district of Johannesberg. Since that time the baby has developed into a full grown baboon of nearly 4 feet in height. During the voyage from the cape it suffered terribly from seasickness, but has now quite recovered its health and activity. The fur is perfectly white and very long. In spite of its mature age milk is still its favorite food.—London Graphic.
