I.l|>:? and Tr. th of WOltlftll I'llllltml-Ki' qulrcniontu of Married ?,tulles. Ti? ono ut nil familial' with tho cos inotics of America ?ml Europe, and with tho mode? of using- thom, some interest attaches to those employed by Jupanoso Indita. Thc moat Striking feature lo ? foreigner in this* direction is to see tho tooth of the women bluclc. Japanese fashion commands thut every woman when married, or who luis Paused tho ago iii which she is likely to he married, stain her teeth black. This ls done with much troubl? ami with repented renewals. Tho "kit" of utensils is mudo of brass and' consists of a bowl of peculiar form, which will hold uhout half a gallon of wntcr. Acioss this rests a shelf of decorated brass 3 inches wide hy V? inches long. On this stands a small kettle, in which thc staining liquid is kept hot, and a small cup into which to nour some of Itu; staining liquid io coot it, aud from which it is used on tho teeth. A hex of laequored wood contains powdered nutgalJs and a small feather brush, and tho whole set, when not in use, is kept in a hi raje lacquered box. Tho niateiiuls coivslst of a solution of iron nails in a vinegar made of sour nuke, forming what would be known ehotuicalI y ns? nco tu teof iron. This so lution is vigorously brushed o vor the teeth, followed by a rubbing of them with powdered nutgnlls. This forms lilack tem?ale of iron on tho teeth, in fact, it is our common black writing ink. Tho process renewed weekly hoops the teeth of shiny blackness comparable almost to frostily blacked shoes. The fashion is said to huvo originated centuries ago unions nobil ity, and lyniee prevails with all other classes. To me the practice is simply hideous. The children and youth of both sexes have ol't%n beautiful, regular while tooth, and tho contrast of these I with their soft, brown skins, black I oyes niid hair, tho blood showing ii'ud j dy through the brown skin ol tho ! checks, makes great beauly in tho j young Japanese a coming thing. Jap anese women fade early, and to add lo the ravages of lime such a practice is sickening. Among the lower classes there is u tendency in the teeth to pro ject forward, and this results in tho habit of keeping the mouth open. Tho reader can laney tho picture. 1 uni glad to know Unit young Japan does not favor this custom, and that the married women of today among the better classes have abandoned it. Fainting tho lips seems lo bc uni versal with women of all classes and ages. Little girls not i> years old have their lips a bright red. The material | used for this is tho coloring matter of salllowcr, called technically eartha mino,0 This plant (curlhumus thicjj) rius) is largely' grown in southern Europe, and used as a dyo. It is fa miliar lo UK in America tor tho sumo purpose, but not grown to any great extent. In the drug stores it is known as American sulVron. The color when diluted is a rosy pink? when very deep it has tho me tallic bronze, green of a beetle's wing, ami it is quilo common for Japanese women lo apply the color so thickly thal tlio lips show a bronzy green in stead of a cherry red. While both lips are tinted, thc most of the coloris put on t,ic* center of the louer lip, whero tho "rout" is. This color is sold in tho cosmetic shops (kaniainono-yd) as beni and is generally in the ?orin of little shallow saucers of white earth enware, on tho inside of which tho color has been spread with tho brush to show a deon red with a bronzy green reflection. These cost about two sen (one and one-half cents) White cosmetic consists of finely levigated chalky material, scented and put up iii square envelopes, holding perhaps half an ounce. More common sorts are made of dry white lend. Tho utensils for applying while cosmetic consist of three pairs of brushes mudo ol' tho hair of tho dcor or whito rabbit. Each hnudlo (four inches long) hus u brush nt both ends. This gives an as sortment of six brushes of varying di ameter and length. A little of this whito powder hoing placed on thc hand, a few drops of water are added, ?nd by moans or ono of thc brushes a thin, smooth white paste is formed, which (Ills tho brush ?nd is applied to tho skin. Ladies of rellnement, whiio tlio'y use whito cos metic to some extent, do not do so ex cessively, but tho "geishas" cover tho whole face, hock and bosom with while, and in many instances from its excess they look ghastly. Little girls out on festival and holi day occasions, dressed in their bright anti beautiful fabrics, will be seen cov ered with cosmetic whito, oxcopt th reo narrow points like Ihoso of a Vandyke collar, which aro left on tho back of the neck, points downward, showing tho brown skin in thoso places.

An inquisitive coun tryman, who knew lit'.lc of railroad traveling, dropped into tho scat beside hii?i, and asked him questions about tho clangor of running ol? the track, what ho reckoned the speed was, whether ho had ovor scon a cow "mus sed up by tho engine."

Presently, when the woman was oil' her guard, ho had recourse to un old and simple but effective ruse. "Is that a mouse under your chair?" he nuked, .suddenly.
