The fntl par oxccllonco is the Turkish

Times. The writer , In quest of the

Bought the establishment recommended
to her by a well known lady of fashion ,
for , bo It known , it is wise to bo circum
spect in your masseur , as the novice Is
of no use whatever. This done wo
enter the ahrino of the ultra-clean. A
tinkle of a boll announced us and wo
wore politely ushered Into a Moorish
looking apartment , with Oriental nigs ,
tabourcttcfl , draperies and odor of splco
and ointments , mysterious and delight
ful. The obony-hucd maid pulled back

chair \Vo wore told to ascend liitolt ,
which wo did with becoming dignity ,
nnd operations wore BOOH begun.
It is too long a story to go Into , but

with creamy perfumed ointment , and
when the manipulation ceased wo wore
abashed at the sight of the towel.
Whereas it was white , after our face
had been softly wiped the blackness of
Kgypt was upon it and wo a
devotee . to water ! Alas , for the
wise in their own conceit !
Next came the Turkish vapor , the
face bath , in fact ; literally speaking , an
Oriental bowl filled with buboling water ,
odorous with mysterious ingredients ,
was placed unon a tabourotto before us ,
nnd wo wore" instructed to inhale it ,
while the attendant covered us with a
heavy linen mantle , through which wo
gasped frantically for a tow moments ,
until wo became accustomed to the
Btoam , but we gradually grow passive
nnd soon felt sleepy , as wo poured our-
Helves away ( beamingly to us ) Into that
sweet smelling bowl. But wh.Ho wo
drowsily thought of Araby the blessed
our release came , and again wo wore
Bgaln wiped dry , then massage was
given by a person who showed by her
handling a perfect knowledge of facial
lines and th'o contour of tlio neck. A
dust of Hour do ri/ and wo wore pro
nounced clean. The result was very
gratifying to ourselves , and as a means
toward a line color and a white , natural
complexion , cannot bo too highly spoken
of.
Given a good face cream , a bowl of
steaming water , a heavy towel , some
tincture of benzoin and a ' 'little learn

At one time if a Japanese girl married
n foreigner she was instantly decapitated.
.A Portuguese- gentleman whom we met
related his experience in this direction ,
says a Yokohama correspondent of the
Chicago Record. Ho came hero thirty
years ugo and fell ia love with a Jap-
uncso girl. Her parents warned her
pf the fatal consequences of marrying
Jiim. lie was young and ardent and she
romantic.
"If you agree to marry me I will die
- with you , " ho said.
"Then I will die live "
. marry you , or ,
the pretty maiden said.
Ho was a Catholic and ho had prom-
Iscd Ills parents not to marry out of his
rnllirinn.
' Will you join the Catholic church ? "
ho asked.
"Join , " she "for
anything , replied , wo
die together.1
They eloped and visited the nearest
prio&t , who advised thorn against their
fatal marriage , but to no purpose.
"She cannot bo baptized , confirmed
and married all on the same day , " said
the priest. .
"Slo ) must , " said the lover.
"I must , " said BUO. "for wo both die
tomorrow morning. "
The priest waived a few custo-uary
rules to fit the occasion and performed
all three ceremonies at once , and then
Interceded for the brido'a life. The
Mikado decided that ho could not bo-
) iead the Portuguese , hut the girl should
Jlo. The priest warned him , saying :
"She is now a Portuguese , too , and you
would bettor postpone the decapitation
ceremony until you confer with the Portuguese
tuguese government. "
Time was granted. The prie&t per
suaded. The husband ploiided. The
Portuguese government demanded.
After a correspondence which lasted
live ycafs , and in which the British ,
American and other consuls or represen
tatives took much interest , the young
woman was permitted to live. Mr. La
Rosa , the happy husband , Is now in busi
ness hero , with a family surrounding
him.

Ho , it is said , is the first European
who dared to marry a Japanese.

I do think that more men remain
unmarried because women got their
voices in too shrill a key than for any
other reason. No man wants to ho
whooped at. Any man will Hubmlt to a
Bcnldlng if the voice that says the dis
agreeable words is sweet and the eyes
laugh , writes Bub in the Brooklyn
Times. There Is no use talking about
the American voice. Such a thing
floosn't exist. Porbonally , I believe a
kwcct voice is largely the result of good
Jood , and next of rennoinont. And yet ,
curiously enough , my belief Is contin
ually shaken. Look at Borulmrdt ! She
lius a voleo like an angcl'til It is seduc
tive , alluring , determined , revengeful ;
It expresses every emotion possible t'o a
woman ; it is never loud and always

Barah has the blood of the Voro do
Veres in her veins or that in her early
life she lived olT of delicate food. There
nro shrill voices , sweet voices , well bred
Voices and exquisite voice * .
TuUu Rose Coghlan , for instance ,
Her voice is rich , full and what a man
In speaking of a good bottle of Bur-
undy would call "fruity"but it Is never
feminine , You love to hear It , but It
fctrikos ou your ear like a perfect con
tralto that is rapidly rcuchintr a bari
tone , It gives you delight , but it never
impresses you with an idea of womanll
ness. Jane Hading has a voice like sil
ver not gold ; it is never either loud
enough ov strpng enough to suggest the
Jnore glittering metal , but Boraahow It
jjoos to the heunt , and it makes you
think of moonlight and silver streams ,
uud softness , nnd femininity. Terry ?
I never cared for Terry's vofco.
Vhat'a curious because most people -
plo * like It ; but it al
ways sounded to mo like a false chord.
* And after I mot Terry , saw how slovenly-
looking the woman was , queerly enough
I never wanted to ecu her uot again.
Mrs. Lnngtry's voice , while incapable of
expressing many emotions , is essentially ,
the volco of a well-bred woihan ; polite ,
sweet , low ; It pleases you , and uncon
sciously you feel that the woman who is
peaking would think it bad form to
wcar her heart upon her sleeve for every
daw to pick at.
Sweet voices ? Georgia Cay van has
one. It pleases your car and doesn't
riio to if shrill note over. Fanny Daven
port's volco is clear , expressive , and
with a koynolo of womanliness that
many another womnn might pray for.
Lillian HiiHsell has a laughing volco ,
and you like It just as you llko her
beauty.

Many Now York women are wearing
Japanese house gowns ; In fact the
"kimou" is now a fad ; of course it is the
' kimou" with American variations , says
thn Philadelphia Inquirer.
Tun Japanese material of which the
most luxurious are made costs 815 iv
yard , its Milken surface covered with the
queer art of Japan , in rich ambers ,
bronze and blue.
In one seen recently the rich fabric
flared off from the neck in loose folds
nnd was- gathered in around the waist
by a wtdo sash of white creno that was
pinned over the loose back into the
utitml butterfly bow between the should
ers.
ers.Tim front of the robe , Instead of lap
ping over all the way down , as Is usual
with Japanese gowns , fell apart at the
waist , disclosing a full petticoat of white
crepe with an embroidered foot piece of
gold. The one rover that extended from
Uiro.it to hem was of while crepe , gold
embroidered. A pair of Japanese slip
pers in white and gold completed the
olTcct.
A woman wears such a gown not alone
for breakfast , but to receive her Inti
mate friends in in her morning room ,
usually lilted upalajaponaiso.wlth fans ,
cl'ina bcrccns , bamboo and gorgeous
stulK
While few care to afford morning
gowna at $15 a yard ( true , it only takes
four yards to make one ) artistic women
like the "kimous" ' for morning wear and
make them at home , some of tb.eni not
cohting more than $ fr.
At the Japanese stores one can got
cropCH in delightful tones , dark or light ,
at 50 cents ayard , npd the kimou usually
requires only about live yards. Canton
flannel in homo pretty contrasting color
Is used to line the yoke , back and front ,
making it comfortable for winter. The
gown is then cut from four straight
widths , and shapeo to fit the armhole.
Any yoke pattern will servo for thh
shaping. The rovers can bo faced with
silk and the sash of silk or crepe can bo
bought for $1.
The kimou , thus fashioned , is thought
to bo more entirely comfortable for
morning wear than any other cut of
gown , especially for those women who
no longer consider it ohio to wear cor
sets in the house. If one hasn't time to
make a robe it can bo bought ready
made of cotton crepe , in Oriental design -
sign for $2.r > 0 , ranging from that price
to 8125 , that sum being asked for the
genuine embroidered affair.

Nowhere do wo need change more
than in our diet. The law that makes
boiled mutton days and rico pudding
dnyb of the domestic calendar is the
worst of laws. Because it is easier for
the cook to know what to expect homo
from market each morning is no reason
able excuse for clinging to a certain
routine in food with the regularity of a
state's prison or an. nluishouse. A united
family is , more to bo regarded than one
cook. Monotony is a duy rust upon in
terest in any branch of the home ,
whether it is a matter of furnishing , of
( list or of toilet. If interest is gone in
the menu and one cats merely to satisfy
hunger , loss of appetite and dyspepsia
come to the fore. Nutritious food , well-
cooked food nnd a variety in food are
three necessary adjuncts to gastronomic
comfort.
Bv variety is not meant here all the
products of a largo market at every
meal. The present elegant simplicity
that has weeded outthaofd tangled mass
of side dishes from the national board is
certainly moro daintv ana more appetiz
ing than out- former profusion. The
question ia merely one of.change. If we
breakfast upon croquettes today the
chief piece tie resistance tomorrow at
the morning meal should bo as far as
possible removed from meat balls.
Many otherwise well regulated houso-
liblds vibrato between eight or ten meat
receipts and perhaps a dozen of des ertsi
whereas both these numbers could easily
bo multiplied by 100 toothsome changes.
If housekeepers were as careful to ex
change the specialties of their several
cooks us they are to pass about their
'
misdemeanors there would' not b'o so
many hungry men stalking our streets
starved , not-from want , but from monet
ony.
Ho came into tho'olllco of ono o our

down into a qlmif , says the Syracuse

"Say , " ho began , "aro you a tip-top

"I want to got a divorce. "

" | f it is true that 'man's Inhumanity
to man makcvV countless thousands
mourn,1" said the wife of a Now York
business man recently to u reporter of
the New York JTimos , "ll ls equally
true that a kind act touches a respon
sive cord In the human breast and
makes us all akin. And hero is what
will proveU. . My husband had just
reached his offlco ono morning not very
long ago and had just seated himself at
his desk to look over his mall. While
opening a letter Ma oycs fell upon a
paragraph In the morning paper which
lay open before him. It was to the ef
fect that on unknown man hnd been
found dead in the street , nnd on his
arm , when the body uas examined , was
found tattooed n grave , with a weeping
willow drooping over it , and an Inscription
'To mother. ' The
tion : my newspaper
said nothing could bo learned of the
man's identity , and closed Its account
with the appeal : 'Won't some good
woman bury this man for his mother's
sake ? '
"Mr. B. was touched , and , seizing his
ren , ho wrote to the editor : 'Kindly
have this unknown dead man decently
buried nnd send the bill to iiio. ( for his
mother's sake. ) I lostlnp own mother In
Infancy. ' Of course , ho had to give his
address , and in acknowledging Iho note
the editor printed this as well. Wo re
gretted that this had boon done , but It
brought to my husband many beautiful
and touching letters from all sorts and
conditions of men and women from all
parts of the country. Ministers , law
yers , laborers , rich women and poor
working women wrote thanking him
for his kindly deed and saying that it
hnd brightened their faith In human
nature. "

In a summer resort In the Catskills
there still lingers a German lady who
came to this country about te'u years
ago , after the death of her husband , who
hold some place at the court of the first
Wilholm. She was delighted beyond
measure the llrst fall of her residence
hero with the wealth of our autumn
foliage , nnd cast about in her mind for
some way to perpetuate its beauty. At
last shn hit upon the Idea of arranging
an album ot pressed leaves , which
seemed toher so beautiful when com
plete that she sent It to her old emperor
for his approaching birthday.
In duo time an autograph note of
thanks was received from him , in which
he said that , although his gifts had been
bountiful and beautiful , none had so en
tirely pleased him as this , which showed
him something of the wonders of a far-
olT land. This autumn ilnds her again
arranging tho-gorgeous leaves for him
whom she calls "my dear old Bismarck , "
adding. "I must send him that tribute
before ho dies. "

It is usually considered a noteworthy
circumstance for a man or woman to be
married three times , but in olden times
the number would have been thought
little of. St. Jerome mentions a widow
who married her twenty-second hus
band , who in his turn had been married
to twenty-two wived. A woman named
Elizabeth Mast , who died at Florence in
1708 , had been married to seven hus
bands , all of whom she outlived. She
married the last of the seven at the ago
ot 70. When on her death bed she re
called the good and bad points of each
of her husbands , and , having impartially
weighed them in the balance , she sin
gled out her fifth spouse aatho favorite ,
and desired her remains might bo in
terred , near his.

It behooves our wealthy girls to be
ware of the young- doctors 'who arc
yearly turned loose in large numbers to
prey , as It will be seen , upon society.
Ono of these recent graduates asked
an old and prominent practitioner for
advice as to the best course to pursue to
succeed in his profession. .The reply
came quick arid decisively : "Connect
yourself with some prominent , church
whore you will mingle in good society.
Make the acquaintance of wealthy girls
and marry one of them , then the road Is
easy. If , on the contrary , you mingle
with a poor class of persons you may
fall in love with and marry a poor girl.
Then you have u long struggle before
you. "
Which sounds awfully cold-blooded ,
though it may bo sound sense.

Guests at the Kennedy house were in
good humor all of yesterday , says the
Chattanooga Times , over an occurrence
which had transpired the night before.
Wednesday there arrived from Florida
a bridal couple who had come direct to
Chattanooga immediately following tbo
ceremony. Bride and groom gave every
evidence of refinement , and later devel
opments proved their good breeding and
modesty was most marked. The gentle
man is a prosperous merchant in the
land of flowers and his bride ono of tha
brightest and most winsome buds in that
garden of female loveliness.
The couple reached the hotel late In
the evening , and were immediately
ushered into the bridal room of the hos
telry. Shortly following the disposition
of the baggage the gro6m reappeared in
the office of the hotel , where only the.
night clerk remained. That courteous
olllcial , noting the nervousness of tha
stranger , made bold to inquire if ho
could provide further toward his com
fort. The young man's blush was akin
to scarlet when he thanked the dork
and confessed ho merely sought the oflico
while his wife retired , and would him
self retire a little later. Some time
elapsed , when the clerk suggested that
the stranger appeared sleepy and possi
bly the bride was exorcised over his
long absence. Again the Floridlan's
modesty painted his face a bright red as
ho arose and said ho believed ho would
' "turn in. " In live minutes ho was again
back in the office.
"Mr. Cleric , " ho Bald , "I must ask.
your advico. Tha modesty of both my
wife and myself Is developed to an ex
traordinary extent. While she was
making her toilet for tha night I with
drew. It scorns she feared intrusion ,
and to guard against it locked the door.
She has evidently fa len asleep , for 1
cannot awaken hor. What shall I do ? "
The cjork , who is a man advanced in
years , is of blunt architecture , and
readily responded : "Possibly your
knock was of the timid character. Try
It again , and with moro demonstration. "
The groom acted under instructions ,
but either the deep sleep of' the hrldo oi
lier extraordinary modesty denied iho
hubbund admittance , The clerk retired
from the hallway to conceal his mirth ,
and the groom , thinking ho was not de
tected , lost heart and quietly tiptoed
down the hall , took u seat upon the back' '
stair landing , nnd remained there
throughout the entire night.
Yesterday morning lie made his toilet
in the wash room , jpinod the bride at
the breakfast table , and , when hunger
bud been appeased-settled his bill , and
the couple'took the drat train for out of
town.

There was room In tlioso ulluya for throe ,
the Drink llnblt.
The people of the small Island of Okn-
shiri , Japan , have sot an example of
mastering the drink.lmbitthat will com
mend Itself to moro pretentious nations.
There were only about " ( iO souls on the
island in 183 , * ) , and us thov subsisted on
the prollts of flailing during a short sea
son of the year , it followed that idle
ness nnd drunkenness 11 lied out the rest
of their time. They consumed largo
quantities of strong drink and so wasted
the money they made in the fishing sea
son that many of them buffered for food
and shelter during the inclement
weather. Realizing to what a stugo
they had coino some of the lenders
among them got up a covenant or agree
ment by which the drink curbo was to
bo mastered. The signatures of the
Islanders were secured to a pledge to
"
abstain and it was rigorously "lived up
to , so that the once favoratc "sake" and
"soehu" can no longer be obtained
among them. After a trial of five years
the prosperity of the island has im
mensely increased , Its populationlnoro
than quadrupled and the capital in
vested in the fishing industry increased
tenfold.

The great canal between the North
and Baltic seas is fast npnroachinsr com
pletion , utul the engineers say that it
will bo opened without fail next year.
It has no locks or sluices along its
course , but at each end thorp are gates
regulating the water level in the canal.
The average level will bo the same as
that in the Baltic. The bed of the canal
is twenty-seven feet below normal water
level , and it has a bottom width of sixty-
six yards. The slope ot the sides is
either two to one or three to one , and
.tho least dcptli otater is to bo about
eighteen feet. The Baltic trading
steamers generally draw less water than
this minimum , and are of such u beam
that they can easily pass in the canal.
The greatest amount of curvature is
made with a radius of tl.GOO feet , and Gil
per cent of the canal is straight. Dur
ing the summer about , " 5,000 , men have
been at work on the great ditch , and up
to the present time about 103,000,000
cubic yards of excavation have boon
completed at an expense of about S17-
500,000. The entire cost of tha canal is
estimated at $30,000,000 , of which sum
Prussia contributes $12,500,000 and the
Gorman empire the balance.
