THE AMER1CUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, JUftE 28, 1891. PEASANT WOMEN IN JAPAN. They Are Mach the Same Today m% Their Ancestors Were Centuries Ago. The peasant woman, clad summer and winter in the same dress of blue cotton, and hardly distinguishable afar from her husband, who wears his hair in a knot like hen and is clad in a robe of the same color—the peasant woman who is daily seen bowing over her toil in the tea fields or in the liquid mud of the rice swales, protected by a rough hat on days when the enn burns, and having her head completely enveloped when the north wind blows by a dreadful muffler, ^always blue, that only leaves the almond eyes to view—the small and funny peas ant woman of Japan, wherever she may be sought for, even in most remote dis tricts of the interior, is incontestably much more refined than our peasant woman of the west. Sbe has pretty bands and pretty delicate feet; a mere touch would suffice to transform her into one of those ladies that are painted on vases or transparent screens, and there would be little left to teach her of man nered graces, of affectations of all sorts. She almost always cultivates a pretty garden around her ancient cottage of wood, whose interior, garnished with white mats, is scrupulously clean. Her household utensils, her little cups, her little pots, her little dishes, instead of being, as with ns, of common earthen- ware daubed with brilliant flowers, are of transparent porcelain decorated with those light and fine paintings that hear witness of themselves to a long heredity of art. She arranges with original taste the altar of her humble ancestors. Final- ly, she knows how to arrange in herown vases, with the least spray of verdure, slender bouquets that the most artistic among our women would hardly be ca pable of composing. She may possibly be more honest than her sister of the cities and her life may be more regular—from our European point of view, of course; she is also more reserved with strangers, more timid, with a sort of mistrast and dislike of the intruders, notwithstanding her amiable welcome and her smiles. In the villages of the interior, far from the recent railroads and from all modern importations, in places where the mil lenary immobility of the land has not been disturbed, the peasant woman has probably changed but little from what must have been, several centuries ago, her most remote ancestor, whose soul, vanished in time, has even ceased to hover over the family altar. At the bar baric periods of onr western history when oar mothers still preserved something of the grand find wild rudeness of primi tive times, there lived donhtlen yonder, in those isles at the east of the ancient world, these same little peasant women, so polite and so mincing, and also these same little ladies of the cities, so civil ised, with their adorable courtesies.— Pierre Loti in Harper's. lie Wished She Was a Centipede. A party was given in St. Lonis to which was invited a noble but bashful cowboy. He was a good looking fellow, and one of the yonng ladies present kindly took —an interest in him and tried to make him feel at ease. He fell desperately in lore at once, and the hoeteas, nntiWng this, encouraged him all she could. In leav ing the house the yonng lady who had taken a friendly interest in the cowboy forgot her overshoes and the hoeteas told the yonng Lochinvar from the plains that he might return them to the girl if he wished- The herder leaped at the chance, and presented himself in dne time at the yonng lady’s home. She was surprised to see him, but greeted him cordially. "Yon forgot yonr overshoes last night,* ■aid he awkwardly, handing her the package. She thanked him and opened it “Why, there's only one overshoe here,” she ex claimed. "Yea, mlsu,” said the blnshing vaquero earnestly, “I’ll bring around the other one to-morrow, and I only wish, miss, that yon were a centipede.”—St. Lonis Republic. Characteristic Autographs. Coant Ensenberg, the Hessian charge d' affaires in France, had one hobby—the collecting of autographs of famous men. On one of the pages of the Hessian's al bum the statesman Guizot had written “All through my long career I have learned to forgive mnch and often, but to forget nothing.” The sentiment is not a Christian one, nor is it notable for its worldly wisdom. It is strange that Guizot, who was a pro fessed Christian and reputed to be world ly wise, should have written it His rival Thiers most have noticed the in consistency, for underneath it he wrote; “A little shortness of memory cannot detract from the sincerity of forgive ness,” Bismarck, while Prussian ambassador at Paris, being asked to write something on the same page, wrote: “As for myself, existence has Jsught me to forget many things, and to get myself forgiven for a great many more.” —Youth’s Companion. No Venomous Beetles. Of more than 40,000 species of beetles widely diffused over the earth's surface not one is known to be venomous, or pos sessed of a sting. Butterflies and moths have no months to eat with, only a pro boscis to extract sweet juices from flow ers. Neither do they grow after assum ing the winged state. When in the cat erpillar state they are voracious eaters. A company of some species will strip a whole tree within a tingle day.—St Lonis Republic. There is paid out of the national treas ury $130,000 annually to residents of many of whom have not seen tho United States since they were mas tered ont at Washington at the close of the war. There la a specimen of the hairy crab in the British museum which, though not larger than a walnut is saddled by a sponge as large aa a thraa pound tomato They Couldn’t S«e tl« Joke. Three m- mbers of the Episcopal con gress sat in a corner of the Lafayette writing room talking over some impor tant subject. All were lf:a ranging from 50 to 65 years, all were dressed in black, and tho face of each wore a look of intense interest. Those who noticed three gentlemen were aware that they were di.cn.sing some important church question, and nobody heard what they said bnt oaa yonng man who appeared to have fallen snleep m a chair near by. As he half opened his eyes the weetern bishop gravely said: “Gentlemsn, I wish to ask a question. The others drew nearer as the bishop, carefully adjusting his spectacles, con- tinned: “Gentlemen, why is grim death like a tin can tied to a dog's tail?" A silence ensued. The two clergymen thus addressed mused for a while and then shook their beads. “Give it up,’ they said. A grim smile spread over the bishop'i face as he added, “Grim death is like a tin can tied to a dog’s tail because it's bound to a pup.” Then he burst into a roar of laughter, and the others made feeble efforts to join him and appreciate the joke. Late that evening the three met again in the Lafayette corridor, and the bishop, a little embarrassed, said: “Gentlemen, 1 told that story wrong this afternoon. What I really meant was this: Grim death is like a tin can tied to a dog’s tail because it’s bound to occur—not to a pup." The other* laughed this trip.—Phila delphia Press. At Others See Cfc A funny story is told at the expense of Sir Richard Moon, chairman of the board of directors of the London and North western Railway company. Sir Richard is one of the most energetic railway magnates known, and is the ter ror of the employes of the company, for they never know when he is about to ponnee njun them. He makes a point of visiting every station on the line at least once a year, and lias an odd habit of overhauling the books and accounts of station masters at inconvenient times. He knows the price of everything, and is said to have rowed an unfortunate freight agent for giving too mnch for a packet of carpet tacks. One clay he dropped in at Crewe station about 5 a. in. and saw u conple of porters hard at work cleaning np things gener ally. Sir Richard was delighted. “This is the right way, men,” he exclaimed. “I like to see snch painstaking industry begun so bright and early in the morn ing." “Industry be Mowed!” said the man addressed tartly, who of comae did not know who the fnssy old gentleman was. “We don’tcommence work at this unearthly hour, bnt we've jost heard that old nuisance. Moon, is on the road somewhere and we’re getting ready in case the old hnnks should drop in on ns unexpected.” In justice to Sir Richard be it said he took no notice of the oppro brious remarks, but quietly slipped away and gave the men the go-by that time.— Philadelphia Inquirer. lie Had a Wife at Home. “I have a little Bible at home,” said the bad man, “that in 18G8 1 wrested from a Sunday school class of nineteen. I haven't opened it since, and it is as now and clean os tho day 1 got it.” “Bring it down some day; Td like to soe it/’ said his friend carelessly. The next day the bad man came into his friend's office, and, throwing a little, half wornont hook on the desk, he said: ’There sbe is, old man, bnt I was a little wrong abont its condition.” 1 should say so,” said the other; “how does it happen that this little book is so badly worn, when you thought it was clean and all right at homer “Well,” said the bad man, and his voice was a bit hnslcy, “the truth of the matter is I’ve got a little wife up at the bouse and a couple of young ones. They sometimes rummage through my things.” —Frank Leslie's. Presentation to a Canine Hero. At a public meeting in Morecambe a handsome collar, bearing a suitable in scription, was presented to a dog for sav ing the life of a child. The dog, a fine specimen of an Airedale terrier, the property of Cab Inspector Lamb, was accompanying two yonng men on a walk in the country, when by its excited man ner and actions it attracted their atten tion to a large dike. In the bottom of this they found the body of achild about 3 years old, lying face downward in the mud, there being only a few inches' depth of water at tho time. On being extricated the child was fonnd to be almost suffocated and was with difficul ty restored. The dog has on other occa sions given evidence of nnnsual sagaci ty.—London Tit-Bits. A Barefoot Rothschild. The spectacle of one of the rich Roths childs going daily barefooted cun be wit nessed in the village of Wacresliofen, ■ Munich. But tho tight of great people going in their bare feet in that town is so common os to excite little re mark. It is ono of the requirements of Father Kneip, the nerve doctor, of his patients. They are also required to take a morning plunge in ice cold water and eschew all meat and intoxicating drinks, bnt they are particularly required to run barefooted.—Paris Letter. Muscular Power of Insects. The muscular power ul some insects is simply enormous. A French ento mologist-had a pet beetle that could lift 850 times his own weight If tho human species were os strong in comparison a Urge sized man could lift a freight en gine from tho track and carry it 200 miles between snn np and sundown.— St I.inis Republic. The London Clearing Home. The daily average at the London clearing honso for 1888 amounted to £23,230,000. If these transactions for a ■ingle day were aettled in coin it would require 175 tons of gold or 8,781 tons of silver, while probably the documents actually used did not weigh mere than a hundredweight—Gentleman's Mags- Envelope*!
