Even the highest class of Japanese women have their household duties to perform, and, no matter how rich the family, Japanese gale are brought up to be able to sew, cook, and attend to their homes. The high' r class \ women never go to market. The narket comes to them -that is the dealers oaI I and offer viares for sale at their customers' doors. Nearly all Japanese women make their own .clothes; at all events, even the very richest etabroider their garments themselves. They are very economical little dressmakers, and - do much planning, outting and basting and making over. • Nerve Pain Cure. Poison's Nerviline cures flatulence, chills end spasms.

Whea the housewives of Chicago return from the gayety of the summer resorts to their domestidccharges they will find that their eervant girls have been merged into "Union Help." Officers have been elected and 300 members are ready to commence the work of proseiyting among their sistere. It is expected that the union will be in full operation within a month. The rules for the regulation of their work and of their mistresses are now being COU- eocted by the members of the organizetion, and thie is to be their tenor : " Rule L-Work,shall not begin before 5-30 a, m., and shall cease when the even- ing's dishes- are washed and put away. Two hours each afternoon and the entire even. ing twice a week shell be allowed tee'domes- tics as their own. - " Rule II -There shall be no opposition on the part et the mistress to club life on the part of the domestic. Entertainment of friends in limited numbers shall not be prohibited, provided the domestic furnishes her own refreshments. " Rule IIL-Gentlemen friends shall not be barred from the kitchen dr back porch. Members of the family of the house shall not interrupt the conversation arising dur. ing said visit. "Rule IV.-Dornestics shall be allowed girth heura eff on Mondays as will permit them to visit the bargain counters in the stores and enjoy on that day the same privileges enjoyed by the mietress and her daughters.

Several weeks ago, when the United Gas and Oil Company abandoned a well on the farm of Adolphus Fox near Olinda, Oxford county, a twelve inch hole 45 feet deep was left exposed. • Four of Mr. Fox's pigs while wandering about in search of a cool spot, fouud the opening and proceeded to investi- gate with the result that all fell to the bottom; at the bottom a cave had formed where the quicksand caved in. In this small apace 45 feet below the earth's surface, two of the young porkers lived for over a month. Mr. Fax had no hope pf saving them yet he dropped corn down the hole every day becausehe could hear the pigs grunting. An effort was made to secure the pigs which resulted successfully. The hole was enlarged and suspended by a strong rope Joe Fox was lowered, The four pigs were brought to the surface, but two of them were dead, the other two soon re- covered aerength and are now very much • alive. • • CONGRATULATk,S THE DISCOVERER.

He writes : I would like to congratu• late the discoverer of Dodd's Kidney Pills oa the wonderful merite of thee remedy. " I have been in ill health for the past year, and of late unable to attend to my work, suffering with severe pains in my beck, andloine. I was indeed so crippled as to be unable to walk, and was continuously in agony. "My family physician failed to relieve me, pronouncing my trouble Rheumatism.

Children live in the present; they do not look forward or backward, this is univer- sally a characteristic of ohildood. Try and realize this ; it will help you much in your endeavors to understand children. Victor Hugo, who has depicted some of the most tragic scenes that ever happened in this World, and painted the miseries that men and -women gaffer in powerful colors, says paaitively that there is no misery like the misery of cleddren. And this is perfectly true, for the joys and sorrows of childhood fill their whole minds and hearta They are quite as intense as they are transient, and we cannot say more than that. Children's brains, children's ideas, children's thoughts and ways, are not, as a rule, sufficiently studied. We do not half remagnize the struggle that the tiny creature goea through -how it strives to grasp matters far beyond its reach, and pezzlee its little breins to comprehend what goes on around it and be - yenta It is a great mistake to suppose that ohildren do not think. It is true they do not think and reasonn, as we do, but they under- stand more than we have any -conception of. The faith and trust of chilhood is one of the most beautiful things that we ever get the 11 rn hago is Rheumatism of the back. The cause is Uric Acid in the blood. If the kid- neys did their work there would be no Uric Acid and no Lumbago. Make the kidneys do their work. The sure, positive and only cure for Lumbag-o is 0047.s Pi.16 chance of seeing. It is our fault if .we abut our eyes to it. In our turn we have Marsh to learn from the children. If we could have retained our belief in truth and the splendid realities of life and nature as WA felt them in our childhood,do you not think tha in many respects our daily 'lives would be grander, nobler and higher than they are? And, in this Bente, we should do well to take a lesson from the little ones, and remind ourselves that "of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." • ROSE.

The great. French actor, Coquelin, used to tell with glee the f ollowing experience in which he himself played the leading part: "I was tired out and so made up my mind to leave the theater for a time and go and vegetate in --some isolated country place.- I went right into the center df France and soon found myself nreely set- tled in a homely, yet comfortable, core- mercial hotel.

These gentlemen soon became known to me, and I was.myself asked the name of the house for which I traveled. 'For ,Claretie & Moliere,' I replied. "Now, being a newl-land at the game, as I said 1 was, I was immediately in- undated with tip's, advice, etc., as to the value and kinds of wine I ought to. go in for. I carefully made -a note of all these tips, intending as.SooDeRS I got by myself to just as carefully: light my cigar with them. . "During dinner all went on pleasantly.

Pay great attention, and you will all swear that it is Coquelin "He gave us this imitation, and when he had finished I rose and said: 'Yes, you did that fairly -well; but, although I may -appear conceited, I really think I cen give you a, better imitation.

You are a young hand at the traveling game, I plainly_ see,. and per- • haps wished to make yourself agreeable this evening. Never,-howeve, try to im- itate a great actor whom you have never seen.

Undertakers say that hundreds of pees ple make a practice of going around from church to church to attend the various funeral services. It is a notion of recent growth, but is becoming very popular. The special attraction in the case of Catholic chutches is said to be the fine music.which usually attends the celebra- tion of a solemn high nines for the repose of the soul of the dead. Where the serv- ices of more than two clergymen are em- ployed the attraction is all the greater, the undertakers say. "It is rapidly becoming the popular thing," said one of the latter. "I thought It odd at first and. wondered how it was that the same faces were to be seen at so many church funerals. • I made inquiries and learned that a nut-111)er of women • make it a rule tielscan the death columns every morning to pick out what promises to be a fashionable funeral service. "Some of them go over to Brooklyn a-nd Jersey even to satisfy- their craving for pimp- and sweet music. The mere fact that in many church funerals a card of admission is required does not seem to keep them away either. Tho sexton. of one of the biggest churches on Fifth ave- nue told the that he knew more tfau 500 women who make a practice of attend- ing church funerals. He added that it would be impossible almost to drag these same women to a church wedding. There le something so magnetic in church funer- els as to be simply irresistible to them. Why it is so I can't say." The pastor of one of the biggest church- es in Brooklyn was asked to give an opin- ion as to the influence which induces wo- men to attend church funerals indiscrimi- nately, and he replied. that it was a weak- ness to see and be seen rather than any desiento listen to the organ and the choir during service. "I have noticed," said this clergyman, "that some of „these women attire them- selves in mourning whenever they attend services of this kinde regardless of the fact that they may have had no acquaint- - ance with the deceased or his family. I have seen theee women in the most -gaudy frocks in the -afternoon after the funeral services in the morning. It is just a wo- inan's idea about keeping her mind amus- ed, I suppose, though I tuust say it is stretching the imagination a long .way. Hundreds now go to church funerals five or more times a vveek, and it is my candid opinion that they enuld not be dragged to church for any other purpose "• RAILWAY RUMBLES, The Island of Formosa has only one railway line. • Express trains' in Russia do not as a rule run over 22 miles an hour. Read In 'round figures, 200 through pai- senger trains come Into the six passenger stations of Chicago every day, leaving • 40,000 strangers in the city. • All the trains that reach the New Or- leans station, in the center of Paris, are brought there by electric power in tun- nels. This is considered the ideal depot of the twentieth century. The "Stourbridge Lion," imported from England, • was the first locomotive ki America and was used by the Delaware and Hudson Canal company. The road was 16 miles in length and was opened in 1820. Other things being, equal, the forward seats In a street or railway car are the most healthful. The forward motion of the car causes a current of air backward, carrying with It the exhalations from the lungsTof those in the forward end. Four lines of railroad now enter the Mexican republic from the United States, and one can make the journey in five days from New York to the City of Mexi- ce in a Pullman car on the regular trains, with only one change, either et Kansas City or New Orleans. Bananas In Honduran. "Bananas and plantains." writes a Honduras correspondent of ti.e 'Boston Herald, "are of coursegrown almost ev- erywhere, and while in camp it was my custom to purchase bananas for our par- ty. And such bananas, of red or yellow variety, just as we might select, but In every case large bunches almost as high as a man and weighing over 100 pounds -eachl "One of the many purchased was of the red variety and contained by actual count 262' bananas and was over 5 feet in height. • Some of the bananas measured 9% inches long and 0 inches round.. They were brought from the plantation of an Indian, who traveled with- the bunch on his back and held to his head by a leather strap. He croSeed the ,Chiquilla river five times, and his price for this bunch was 10 cents in our money. "Our custom was to eat raw when ripe r fry them. Our cook's way of prepar- ng them was to roll them in flour so ae o avoid their sticking to the pan." Economies of the Plat.

A Trainer's Experience With an Excited Lion. • 4- A famous wild am al trainer, who by virtue /of many yeartlexperience in han- dling wild animals hs come to be a sort of adviser and coachlof animal trainers,. says that in a very large percentage of cases ipjuries suere1 from. trained ani- mals are the fault of the tvainer. "Inexperience and carelessness are the great factors in accidents of this kind,' says the trainer. "The average young trainer is too likely to forget that every one of the big catEe. has five mouths, as one may say -one in his head and four more at the ends of hs paws -and each o thosemouths is capaele of inflicting ter rible injury. However, we do not place an animal in the lit of bad animals un- less he makes a direct and full attack. Sthileing at the trainer with the paws amounts to little; it may be even acci- dental.

There is also an. outdoor din- ! ner going on, in "As You Like It"'when Orlando interrupts. In Shakespeare's time at these stage feasts the performers used as food marchpane, a sort of bis- cuit, to which one of the servants makes allusion in "Romeo and Juliet," "Good thou, save me a piece of marchpane." 1 The actors grumbled at the constant use of marchpane and would have preferred something substantial. in the eighteenth century, when the strolling players went more or less mer- rily on foot and were much of the time, half starved, real food in the plays was more than welcome. There was a Brit- ish manager who, whenever ealaries. were considerably- in arrears and dissatisfac- tion prevalent, soothed eveirYbotly into : good humor again by puttingl. up the nau- tical drama, "The Cramond Brig," which calls for a dinner of boiled mutton and turnips. In "The Gentle Shepherd," which used to be given in Scotland, real haggis was introduced. There was also a very elaborate meal in the old farce I "No Song, No Supper."

The .xperienced playeas, 'i how- ever, do it gr cefully and well. -Before an audience o e must eat very daiutily, else well bred people in front will criti- cise. An actress must also know some- thing about cooking, or at least about the preparation of food. Making bread ou the stage is common, and in Robert- son.'s "Ours" there is a charming scene where Mary Netley runs about in the hut ID the Crimea with sleeves rolled up and in. her hand the well dusted rolling pin. She also works out the dough. . Oceasionally there is too much drink- ing. In a play entitled "The Wary Wid- ow," . which was acted in. 1093, it is said that there was so much whisky punch consumed that all the performers became intoxicated. , Mr. Clement Scott, in his memoirs, re- lates the disastrous experience some years ago in Len.don of Miss Nita .Nicotina, a young woman. who made her debut in. a play called "Eca.rte." The Australian tragedian, Boothroyd Fairclough, was in - the cast. The picnic scene was of highly realistic character -genuine hampers from Fertnnin & Mason's, Perigord pies, chick- en, truffles and champagne. Tho repast was of sumptuous character, and the ac- tors and actresses ate_ and drank heart- ily. The gallery, after awhile, 'becoming weary of so much feasting without being able to joiu in it, began to jeer. The champagne continued to flow,• and Miss Nicotine displayed the effects of, overin- dulgence. The jeers turned into yells, and presently, when sho entered with a green hoot on ono foot and a yellow boot on the other, the yells became howls, and the hely unwisely attempted a, speech. The piece ended in a riot, and the lights were put out. - Most Tattooed Man In France. Languishing in a prison cell in Paris, to which he was relegated the other day for as;lault and battery, is one Auguste For - min, au ex -soldier, who claims to be the mo -:t tattooed.man in France. His body. presents an illustrated version of the Dreyfus case, in which the most dramat- ic episodes in that world famous drama are reproduced with great skill. His right arm bears the'portraits of the ofBeers who testified at the Zola trial, to- gether with a picture of the novelist. On his left arm is the portrait of the late president of the republic, Felix Faure,' and other celebrities who figured in con- nection with the case of the prisoner of Devil's island. Then, beginning with the tragical incident of Dreyfus' degradation ID the presence of the troops, scene after scene is unrolled. The spaces between are filled in with flags and allegorical de- vices, such as a bleeding heart pierced by a dagger and a boa constrictor crushing a man, In all there are 120 scenes, por- traits and devices. This remarkable example of tattooing was performed while !Comilla was serv- ing in a disciplinary battalion at Biribi, in Tunis. He claims that the surgeon of his regiment offered him ioo francs for the illustrations -on his back, promising to remove the skin without Pain turd guar- anteeing that he would speedily recover and suffer no ill effects from the opera,. lion, Formin, however, preferred to keep his pictures. - Banana, tke Breadfruit Of the World. - Bananas, probably the first frult ever cultivated, possess all the essentials to. the sustenance of life.' More people live on bananas than live on wheat. When. taken as a steady diet, they are cooked,' either baked, boiled or fried. The fruit Is very nourishing, as it contains so much starch and sugar. . Banana flour is highly nutritious and, very valuable. The farinaceous food Is so prone to undergo malfermentation in the stomach when the normal digestion is disordered that it becomes very im- portant to seek some variety of starchy food whiCh can be easily assimilated without the production of acid eructa- tions- of flatulence or heartburn. There- fore the flour has a decided advantage as food for invalids. Thompson states hat he has found that the finest banana our, called "bananose," at the end ot- l/. boars of pancreatic digestion was apable of developing.' twice as much agar as the same quantity Of oatmeal r farina and nearly 11,f2 times as much ugar as cornstarch. Qualifications of Sea Captains. On some of the foreign steamship lines t io captains are naval officers and in case of war would retain their com- mands. On the German steamers the officers must servo a year or so in the naval reserve. On the French line each member of the crew- must serve for a time on a vessel or war. .0ri the major- ity of ships, however, the officers tire onen of the sea who have fought their way up, step by step, entirely by merit and not at all by favor. On the Ameri- can. line even after a man has reached the rank of captain he must pass- a rigid examination. every five years. Easily Compromised. She -And actually there was a lion in your ,path?

NINEBOILS.; The Seaforth Tea Store FOUR RUNNING SORES. The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ontwe Some time ago my- blood got out of order and nine large boils appeared on my neck, besides numerous small ones on my shoulders and arms. Four running sores appeared on -my foot and leg- and I was in a terrible Mate. A friend advised Burdock Blood Bitters, so I procured three bottles. After finishing the flrst bottle the boils started to disappear and the sores to heal up. After taking the third bottle there was not a boil or sore to be seen. Besides this, the headaches from which I suffered left me and I improved so much that I am now strong and robust again. Yours truly, MISS MAGGIE WORTHINGTON, Feb. 3rd, 19ot. Goispie, Ont.
