All visitors to Japan will recall the sad, soft tones of the flutes at night, on tho streets, in country lanes, in forest glades and on the mountain paths. It is a melodious and plaintive tune, always tho same, ami it is heard only when night has enveloped theso places in her shadows. It is the flute of the blind Amma San, the massage man and woman. From old men, hoary with age, to young girls in their teens, there they wander, the blind peonlo of Japan. By law, strictly enforced, they must be blind, either from birth or through fatality during their lives. Thus they gain an honorable living. With perfect knowledge, gained by years of study in schools specially pro vided for them, they knead, twist and new string every nerve, sinew and ten dril in the human body. In two hours time they will create a new being, masterly in their manipulation of the tirod traveler,the exhausted debaucjjo and tho nervous hypochondriac, of the woman suffering from neuralgia, sick headache or the weaknesses of a languid mind and body. They will take charge of your body from the head to the soles of your feet and when their task is completed, they leave behind them a lingering of entire comfort, of placid, well fold ing, which makes vou very soon call them hack again. Some of these girls are pretty nnd attractive and their helpnessness gives them an additional charm. Their usual charges are forty sen per hour, in rural districts .much less.

Every acquaintance of more than 24 hours is a Colonel to tho man from Louisville, and the title is applied in a perfectly natural way just as if it wore deserved. The Kentuckyian means bis military salutes to he complimentary, and they are. The natives nre free with their titles down that way, too, and Colonel is not tho limit. There are two prominent law yers in the Blue Grass State «'ho are called General everywhere. When their appear in newspapers the titles are used with us much solemnity os though they had been earned on the field of battle. One of them is general counsel for a rail road and the other served a term years ago as attorney-general of tho State. In Philadelphia as soon as your ac quaintance reaches the decree of fa miliarity that would justify him in calling you by your first name the Philadelphian gives the title doctor. When a Philadcl iiliiau addresses you as "doctor" v know he is getting intimate and you can borrow money. Tho reason for the popularity of "doc tor" is not far to seek. The Quaker City is the scat of many big medical colleges, produces an unusual munlair of physician* and has come to look upon the medical profession os one of the roost learned, progressive and important. Philadelphia newspapers get up more excitement over a medical college commencerai nt than I .HlH'-s rou may maybe No woman'» happ*. ness can be oomplata without children ; it u her nature to lore Woman's Nightmare end went them as mach eo as It b to lore the beautiful end pure.
