Women in Japan.
In Japan a well bred woman does not
go to the theater until she is old and ugly.
ID is not thought proper for her to under-
! stand music. If she is religious she 1s
termed "flighty." She spends most of
her time at home attending to her child-'
ren and servants and performing all sorts
of menial service for her husband and his
family. It has been said that "a woman
in Japan does not marry for a husband,
but to be unpaid servant to his family."
MOTHER OP FOIIR OHILDREN.
The trustees, secretary, and other
officers of the Free Hospital for Consump-
tives at Muskoka aro daily in receipt of
many piteous letters.
A few clays since Mr. W. J. Gage, of
Toronto, Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the National Sanitarium
Association, received a letter from a
resident of Quebec, pleading for the ad-
mission of a victim of the dread white
plague, living about a hundred milds
south-east of Montreal, and asking if it
were not possible to admit her into the
Free Hospital.The writer says: " Tho
applicant is a Mrs. Wm. Paterson, the
mother of four children and the wife of a
farmer in a place called Goshen, in the
township of Windsor. The doctor says
that her loft lung only is troubled. Sho
is able to go about, but her appetite is
very bad. I believe 1f she could bo ad-
mitted into the Free Hospital. for Con-
sumptives slip might bo cured. Sho could
not pay much, if anything. Kindly let
ma know if you could receive her.
We are told by Mr, (,age that 1lppliee-
tions for admission to the Free Hospital
reach the secretary from all points in the
Dominion, and patients have been re-
ceived front Prince Edward Island on the
ons! to Alberta on the west. Two
hundred and teentvflve patients have
been admitted in eighteen months, and
not single patient has been refused
because of his or her poverty.
Wo can hardly think of any charity
that appeals more ptathetically for the
support of the Canadian people.

Both Learned Their Lesson.
When Mr, George Roberts was presi-
dent of the Penuyklvania Railroad, says
the New York Times, he had an exper-
ience with a train conductor in which
each learned a lesson.
The conductor, mho kne or Mr. Rob-
erts, walked past him with a nod and
without calling for his ticket.
"Here, conductor," said the president,
sharply, "yon have not looked at my
pass!"
"But I know who you are," said the
conductor.
"That has nothing to do with It," re-
plied the president. I might be travel-
ling without it. I am only entitled to
ride free only when I have the evidence
of my identity."
Ho spoke sharply thlnking he was
giving the conductor a fine lesson in
duty.
"Ticket, please!" said the conductor,
sharply, nettled at the chiding.
"That's right," said the president, and
began to feel in Iris pockets for bis pass.
He went through pocket after pocket in
a vain search, while the conductor stood
looking grimly on.
"Come. come!" said the conductor.
"If you haven't a ticket, sir, you must
pay your fare."
went has granted seven thousand dol-
lars for the work, providing the town-
ships of Culross and Greenock, and the
County Council supplement the grant.
A well known French actor has just
finished his memoirs with the following
startling statistics: "I played in 98
towns, 3,868 evenings in 371 pieces and
in 455 different roles. I was married
1,721 times on the stage. I died 1,120
times and in many styles. For example
I was stabbed 61 tinges, I was shot 51 I
times, I was drowned 22 times: I was
poisoned 166 times; I had niy skull !
smashed Sul times; I ruptured blood'
vessels 102 times; I was decapitated 81
times; Iwasassassinated 109 times; Iwas
executed 33 times; 1 committed suicide
314 times, and I died a natural death
55 tithes.''
President Roberts made a last hasty
examination, and then taking a five -dol-
lar bill from his wallet, paid his fare
from Philadelphia to NOW York, and
the incident was closed. He had left
his pass in itis office.
rhe Worid's Water Power.
John C. Hawkshaw, president of the
Iustitute of Civil Engineers, has calcu-
lated the total water power of the world
to be egnivelant to 10,340,000,000 horse-
power (apparently annually). To oh-
tain this; figure he assumes a rainfall of
ten inches to flow off every square inch
of land and places the mean height at
2,250 feet above sea level. "Our present
yearly output of 223,000,000 tons of coal
would give that horse -power for only a
little over half a day."
It is no use to save money by stopping
drinking because of what yon have to
give to your, wife, who believes you save
ten times as much that way as you do.--
