These few proved to be Don- iphan's wild riders, who even ex- celled the Mexican caballeros in their feats of horsemanship. At last altogether, once more, they came sweeping down street, ap- parently reckless of life and limb. As they passed, the scurrying footman cheered them on with great good nature. The crowd closed again and in a brief time everything was asrestless as ever. From "A Miner's Sunday in Col - ma," in the Century for J une.

THE WOMEN OF JAPAN THEY ARE SWEET AND GRACEFUL BUT THE MEN DON'T APPRECIATE THEM. During my recent visit to Jap- an. says Henry. T. Flinck, several girls told me how glad they would be if they had the oppor- tunity and means to go to Ameri- ca. They had probably heard of the United States as being the paradise of women, and felt that Japan was not exactly an earthly Eden for them. Americans call pl etty girls angels and adore them as goddess- es, The Japanese, on the con- trary, compare men with heaven and women with earth. Probably no, " foreigner" knows the Japan- ese as thoroughly as Bail Hall Chamberlain, who has been prof- essor of Philology at the Univer- sity of Tokio. Most Japanese men," he says, "even in the very year of grace 1890, make no secret of their disdain for the female sex. The way in which they are treat- ed by the men has hitherto been such as mig'3t cause a pang to any generous European heart. This contempt for women is shown in the minutest details of life, as, for example, in mourning etiquette, which prescribes that animal food shall be abstained from and mourning garments were for 150 days in ease of a paternal grandfather, but only 90 days in case of a maternal grandfather; 90 days for a paternal uncle, but only thirty days for ono on the maternal side, etc. According to , the "Greater Learning for women" there are five feminine vices which four women of every five possess -disobedi- ence, malice, slander, jealousness and stupidity -whence arises their inferiority to man. Even women's four possible virtues are such as chiefly benefit man - gentleness, obedience, mercy and quietness. • A Japanese Buddhist text says that "a woman's exterior is that of a saint, but her heart is that of a demon. " .Every tourist who has visited Japan will agree as to the malic- eous falseness of these ungallant remarks on the gentle, courteous, sweet and graceful little women, of the island Empire. -Chicago Times. FACTS IN SHORT ORDER. The fly spider lays an •egg as large as itself. There are 13,000 different kinds of postage stamps in the world.

Mies Cynthia M., Westover is Commission- er Beattie's deputy in the street cleaning department of New York City. She is thor- oughly capable and posted in the work of the office, and, though a frail -looking, pretty and polished lady, can boss a thousand la- berers so cleverly that the ordinary ganger forgets how to swear, and the politician who wants pay without work finds that he has a hard road to travel. TheQueen of Roumania has written a melodrama which should have been pro- duced at the Burg Theatre at Vienna, but it turned out to be so wildly and weirdly ab- surd in plot tend so bombastic in language that the managers insisted that if it was produced there would not only be a riot in the audience but a strike among the em- ployees, and so .it was withdrawn. Even a queen is not free from dramatic failures. John W. January, of Mlnonk, Ill., draws a pension of $100 a-nlonth. Mr. January is known all over the country as the man who cut off his oavn feet in Andersonville prison. The confederate surgeon had told him that he must die, as his fest were partially eaten away by gangrene. The surgeon refused to amputate the injured parts, when January performed the operation himoeff with an old knife. He retains the knife as a most valu- able relic. • Woman not thee Weaker Tassel. Among savages the woman is just as healthy as a man. C./u,id,,•ed as an ani- mal from a physiological standpoint, a woman is capable of more hard work, of enduring more hardship, deprivation, and disease, than a man. A woman will endure where a man will succumb and break down entirely. She is not naturally the weaker vessel, and certainly in some respects a woman is constitutionally the superior. Out of an equal number of male and female infants there will be found at the and of the first year a greater number of girls alive than boys, according to statistics. This discrepancy continues up to the age of 15 or 16, when the mortality becomes greatest among the girls. At the age of 40 or 50 the death -rate is about equal in both sexes, and, finally, the oldest inhabitant is always a woman, thus showing that her constitu- tional fund of vitality is naturally greatest. It is sometimes argued that a woman is naturally weaker and inferior because the average weight of her brain is from four to six ounces less than that of the average man, and that thus her intellectual quality is less as well as her physical. But when the,sizae of a woman's braise is considered In comparison with the weight of her body, it is evident that a woman has more brain per pound than a man; and if that be a proper standard of comparison, then woman is the superior. There is no physical reason why a woman should be more feeble or diseased than a man. Stanley was furnished with 200 negro women to carry iris stuff into the interior of Africa, and he found them the best porters he had employed, although he felt very doubtful about accepting their services when first proposed. The Mexican Indian woman is able to carry her house- hold goods on her back with two or three babies on top when a change of location is desirable. Meanwhile her husband trudges bravely along carrying bis gun. On the continent of Europe most of the heavy work is done by women. In Vienna women and dogs are frequently bitohed togethdr, and sometimes a woman is yoked with a cow to drwa a load of produce to the city. Many of these peasant women willcarry upon their heads a load of vegetables that few Ameri- can men could easily lift. These women have the muscles of the waist and trunk thor- oughly developed. Despite their hardships, they do not suffer from the backache or dis- placements, or other ailments which the women who dress fashionably are constantly afflicted with.—PhrenologicaliJournal. More Time. Busy people always seem to have plenty of time. Their day is only twenty-four hours long, yet out of that twenty-four hours— fourteen hundred and forty moments—they find space for an astonishing amount of work. They are never afraid to undertake a new thing. They have always a few minutes to give to a friend. They will se- cure au hour for some congenial occupation. It is to the busy men you go, asking can they take a part in this new project. Cer- tainly; state what you would like done, or bow you wish it, and they will lend a hand. Why, if you so desire, they will take time to tell you just what you ought to begin, and how to manage it. And when one piece of work is accomplished they pass to the next with perfect readiness, and a calm confid- ence in their own ability. Yes, strange to say, the people who never have time to do anything aro those whe never have anything to do. They would start this scheme, take part in that transac- tion, if, they only had a little more time. They would be so glad to pay these calls, only too dellghted to give that help, to learn a lan- guage, er to read a book, but they cannot make the time. And while they lament their leek of it, all the time they had is gone and their plans are still unfinished. After all, what more time have the busy than the idle? Has not each of us to-dayl His hot each of us all the time there is?— Harper's Bazar. Ought To Bo. New Hampshire girl who went sleigh - riding with her beau a few nights ago was driven home a corpse, having been frozen to death with the thermometer at zero. They don't know what to do with the fellow, who certainly deserves hanging. Any young roan guilty of letting zero come betlween him and the girl he pretends to love is not fit to live. She Had Arrived. The wife of a Boston broker sailed for Peru to visit her stater, and when she arrived there slio sent him a cablegram which cost hint $700 to announce the fact.

It is estimated that to complete young George Vanderbilt's castle in North Caro- lina it will require ten years of labor and the expenditure of from $8,000,000 to $10,- 000,000. Spencer Pratt, U. S.

It is announced that she will resume work on two new stories and a play that bas been laid aside owing to the illness and death of her son. Mme. Bernhardt is said to be of Holhtud- Jewish origin, and to have been born in Am- sterdam about forty-six years ago. Leas is known to the public of the antecedents of this brilliant French actress than of almost any other artist who bas gained like cele- brity. Lady Sydne Waterlow, the wife of the distinguished((nglish Baronet, is an ,Ameri- can girl. She was formerly Margaret Hamil- ton of Napa, Cal. She is a woman of slight and almost girlish figure; with a pale, deli- . este face, and is very popular in London society. Mrs. Wand Stanford is so rich that she does not hesitate to wear dresses that are out of fashion for several years. Neverthe- less she is always handsomely attired and has magnificent jewels. She entertains a great deal and is open-handed in her aasia- tance to women who have been less fortunate in life than herself. Ex -Empress Frederick is short, plain, and stout. There is muoh in her countenance to remind one of Queen Victoria. The phy- siognomy gives the impression of sturdy strength of mind and high thought. Never- theless she has a retreating chin and a poorly formed mouth. The nose is commonplace and turned up. Where her strength lies is in the compact, well-developed forehead and brow. IN "A.

THREADS OF THOUGHT. It would be hard to find et greater flatterer than self. To live means to be, to do, to accomplish; not simply to exist, to rest inert, useless. Tho deeper and brooder a nature is, the less likely it is to be comprehended by oth- ers. It is a cheery heart that is ever ready to tighten some weary way with helpful ten- derness. .Anger is like the unruly beast in the dusty road, it clouds the mind and obstructs the right of way. It is much easier to demand that others shall reach a high standard, than to compel ourselves to do the same. Our opinions are a good deal like the time of our clocks and • watches, no two just alike, yet we all follow and keep our own. If it is hard to forgive an enemy an in- tentional injury, how much more difficult must it be to pardon a friend for the same offense. He who gives in time of need, though small the gift, his done as great good, as if it had been as "broad as the earth, and as rich. as Heaven." There is no tarrying in the swift current of life; it sweeps all floating particles relent- lessly on; and to be stranded on the moun- tain side moans only to withor uselessly away. The one who gives his mind and strength to a work for its own sake, does not ;heed other stimulus; and though often hindered and cast down, is not daunted tram stitl ge. ing ojl, twithh determination to Conquer. 0 FIELD and GARDEN SEEDS as usual SOMETHING NEW -We have last received a nice assortment of Boy's Snits in several different styles and colors, at prices from 12 np to o5. ©UR MILLINERY has only to be seen to be appreciated and purchased.

Correspondence solicited 'The Coming School of Medi- cine" -The Histogenetic System. Chicago, Jan. 1, 1888. This is to certify that I have made a thor- ough investigation of the Histogenetic Medi - eines, prepared by Dr J. Eugene Jordan,and of his unique methods of research, and ani therefore competent to form a correct judg- ment. 1 pronounce them marvelous pro duets of the highest skill, showing an ac- quaintance with the natural science far in advance of any savant with whose works the world 18 acquainted. The amount of time and painstaking which the doctor has expen- ded upon the single branch of spectroscopy is enormous, and his discoveries startling. Also having used these medicines in ray own preotioo, I can say that their actual success .n curing disease is as great as is their dis- covery.

The Histogenetic theory of reaching disease is: Rebuilding the diseased cells and tissues of the body, with the same proximate principals and ferments, organic bodies, and so on, which are normally prepared in the body by the glands. The medicines are prepared by chemical pro- cesses. in a perfectly pure condition, and are quite tasteless.
