Paper in japan.

This is an article of the greatest utility
to our sisters in Japan. Not only do they
use paper fans, paper pouches and paper
lanterns, but also paper pocket-handk erchiefs
paper umbrellas, paper waterproof cloaks,
paper walls, paper windows and paper string
When collection of the different kinds Of
paper was made, TO be sent to the Exhibi.
ton of 1862, no less than sixty seven vari.
cites were forwarded; and, in fact, without
paper to turn to thousand and one differ.
ent purposes of use and ornament Japanese
life would be at a standstill. So necessary
is it that stipulation is always made in the
marriage contract that the bride shall re
ceive certain allowance of paper.
The japanese obtain it from different
source from our own. Instead of old rags
being converted into clean paper, they make
use of the bark of the Broussonetia papy.
fera, stripped, dried and then stepped in
water till the outer green layer comes off.
1t is boiled and rendered quite soft, beaten
to pulp, and then two other kinds Of bark
are added, one to make it tough and the
other glutinous. The whole is then well
mixed and spread out in thin sheets on mat.
ting frames and dried. 1t is cheap, four
sheets of the ordinary quality being worth
about one farthing.
When oiled, it is made into waterproof
clothing, or stretched on neatly constructed
bamboo frame and used as an umbrella

pearance of leather, and is made into to-

Bookless Houses.

We form judgments of men from little
things about their houses, of which the
owners perhaps never think. Flowers about
a rich mans house may signify only that he
has good gardener, or that he has refined
neighbors, and does what he sees them do,
but men are not accustomed to buy books
unless they want them. If, on visiting the
dwelling of man of slender means, we find
that he contents himself with cheap carpets
and plain furniture, in order that he may
purchase books, he rises at once in our es'
TEEN. Books are not made for furniture,
but there is nothing else that so beautifully
furnishes house. The plainest row Of
books is more significant of refinement than
the most deliberately carved sideboard.
Give us house furnished with books
rather than furniture. Both, if you can
but books at any rate! To spend several
days in a friends house, and hunger for
something to read, while you are treading
on costly carpets, and sitting upon luxurious
chairs, and sleeping upon down, is as if one
were bribing your body for the sake of
cheating your mind
Books are the windows through which the
soul looks out. A house without them, is
like room without windows. No man has
q right to bring up his children without sur
rounding them with books, if he has the
means to buy them. 1t is wrong to his
family. Children learn to read by being in
the presence of books. The love of kuowl-
edge comes with reading, and grows upon it.
And, the love of knowledge in young
mind, is almost warrant against the infe-
rior excitement of passions and vice.
Let us pity those poor rich men, who live
barrenly in great bookless houses. Let us
congratulate the poor, that in our day,
books are so cheap that man may every
year add hundred volumes to his library,
for the price of what his tobacco and his
beer would cost him. Among the earliest
ambitions to be excited in clerks, workmen,
journeymen-and indeed, among all that are
struggling in the race of life--is that of
owning, and constantly adding to, library
of good books. A little library grown large
every year, is an honorable part of young
mans history,
1t is mans duty to have books. A Ii,
brary is not luxury, but one of the neces-
sites of life.-EpiscopaIian.

Cheap Pleasures.

Did you ever study the cheapness OF some
pleasures? Do you know how little it takes
to make multitude happy? Such trihes
as penny, a word, or smile do the work.
There are two or three boys passing along
give them each chestnut, and how smiling
they look they will not be cross for some
time. A poor widow lives in neighborhood
who is the mother of half dozen children
send them half peck of sweet apples, and
they will all be happy. A child has lost his
arrow-the world to him-and he mourns
sadly: help him to find it, or make him an
other, and how quickly will the sunshine
play upon his sober face. A boy has as
much as he can do to pile up load of wood,
assist him few moments, or speak pleas
ant word to him, and he forgets his toll and
works away without minding it. Your ap-
prentice has broken mug, or cut the vest
too large, or slightly injured piece of wor k,
say, "You scoundrel, and he feels misera-
BILE; but remark, Il am sorry and he will
try to do better. You employ man-pay
him cheerfully, and speak pleasant word
to him, and he leaves your house with q
contented heart to light up his own heart
with smiles and gladness. AS you pass along
the street, you meet familiar tace-say,
"Good morning" as tho you felt happy,
and it will work admirably in the heart Of
your neighbor.
Pleasure is cheap-who will not bestow it
literally? If there are smiles, sunshine and
flowers are all about US, let US not grasp
them with miser's fist, and lock them up
in our hearts No. Rather let US take
them and scatter them about US, in the cot
of the widow, among the groups of children
in the crowded mart, where men of business
congregate, in our families and everywhere.
We can make the wretched happy; the dis
contented, cheerful; the afflicted, resigned
at exceedingly cheap rates. Who will re-
fuse to do it?

whenever an opportunity presented itself;
but, like all others who persist in sin, his
sin found him out.
He was sent as an errand boy to mil
liners shop, and, being smart little fellow,
became q favorite with his employer, and
was frequently behind the counter; but
again evil thoughts came into his mind and
he robbed the good lady who had employed
him, first, by taking small sums again and
again without detection; but at last 1t was
found out and he was taken to prison, and
sent fur away to strange land, and never
saw his father and mother again.
Who can describe the grief of those fond
parents when they found that their boy had
been guilty of such sinful and dishonOra-
bic thing as stealing? But his father
grief and his mothers tears could not pre-
vent the punishment of the boy; the law
must take its course. Perhaps if he had
not cheated his playmate of the marble, he
would never have robbed his employer, and
come to so bad an end. "Thou shalt not
steal. "-Sunday School Visitor.

How to Build a Corn Crib.

How to build rat-proof corn-crib, is q
great question among farmers. A CORES
pendent of the N. Y. Farmers Club gives
the following experience:
| have a corn crib that has stood for
twenty years, and has never had rat, and
but one mouse in it to my knowledge. Posts
ten or twelve feet long and eight inches
square; mortice two feet from one end; for
end stills, two inch mortce with tusk. Taper
post from sill to end, by hewing off inside
until the end is reduced to four inches diam
eter; make smooth with draw knife and nail
on tin, half way to the end, below the sill,
Let stills be eight inches square; also, end
tie them and the rafter plates strong with
moderate interstices Brace we'll, and lath
up and down with three quarter inch lath;
dovetail or countersink joists crosswise; lay
the floor, and board up the ends with un-
grooved boards; let each bent be twelve feet
long, six feet wide at the sill, and seven and
one-half feet at plate; and if full to peak,
it will hold two hundred and fifty bushels.
I never had an ear to hurt on account Of
the great width. If preferred, lay the floor
with lath or narrow boards, with room for
ventilation. Each post should stand on
stone, about three inches from the ground,
and each stone have foundation two feet
square and below the frost.

Golden Words from an Old Merchant.

We all want to know how good and strong
men have made their ways in the world
They were once boys like you. What steps
did they take to become true men? An emf
nent merchant in New York, Mr.. Jonathan
Sturgis, tells us q little of his experience,
which, am sure, every boy will be glad to
hear about:
cone of my first lessons, says Mr.. Stur-
gis, "was in 1913, when was eleven years
old. My grandfather had fine flock Of
merino sheep, which were carefully tended
during the war of that day. l was the shep.
herd boy, and my business was to watch the
sheep in the fields. A boy who was more
fond of his books than the sheep was sent
with me, but left the work to me, while he
lay under the trees and read. | did not IKE
that, and finally went to my grandfather
aud complained of it. / shall never forget
the kind smile of the old gentleman as he
said:
"Never you mind, Jonathan, my boy; if
you watch the sheep, you will have the
sheep
"What docs grand,fathe mean by that ?
1 said to myself. don't expect to have
sheep. Ny desires were moderate, and a
fine buck was worth thousand dollars. /
could not exactly make out in my mind what
it was, but l had great confidence in him, for
he was judge, and had been to Congress in
Washington's time; so | concluded it was all
right, and went back contentedly to the
sheep. After got into the field 1 could not
keep his words out of my head. Then l
thought of my Sunday lesson-'Thou hast
been faithful over few things; will make
thee ruler over many things I began to
see through it; Never you mind who ne
elects his duty; be you faithful, and you
will have your reward.
81 received second lesson soon after. l
came to the city as clerk to the late Ly-
man Reed. A merchant from Ohio, who
knew me, came to buy goods, and said
Make yourself so useful that they cannot
do without you took his meaning quicker
than l did that of my grandfather.
"Well, worked upon these two ideas un-
til Mr.. Reed offered me partnership in the
business. The first morning after the part
nership was made known, Mr.. James Geery,
the old tea merchant. called to congratulate
me, and he said: You are all right, now.
1 have only one word of advice to give you
BE careful who you walk the street with.
That was lesson number three.
And what valuable lessons they are: EFF
deity in little things; do your best for your
employer; carefulness about your associates.
Let every boy take these lessons home, and
study them well. They are the foundation
stones of character and of honorable success.

How a Thief Began.

A boy once Slyly took marble from q
playmate while playing with him. The play
mate had many marbles and did not notice
his loss. The same boys met frequently,
and no notice was taken of the transaction,
the little boy never having missed his marble
This seemed to harden the little boy who
stole the marble, for soon after he took the
opportunity, when his mother was not al
home, and took some cake from her cupboard
This also was not discovered, which only
seemed to harden him in his crime.
Some time after this he stole some money
from his father, and spent it very foOhshly
among his careless and wicked companions;
but his father did not miss it either; so the
little boy became more and more emboldened,
and thought he could go on in this way

REV. ROBERT CoLLYER has sound views
as to the characteristics of bad book He
says, " If when l read book about God, 1
find that it has put Him farther from me /;
or about man, that it has put me farther
from him; or about this universe, that it has
shaken down upon it new look of desola-
ton, turning green field into wild moor /;
or about life, that it has made it seem a
little less worth living on all accounts than
it was; or about moral principles, that they
are not quite so clear and strong as they
we're before this author began to talk: then
know that, on any one of these cardinal
things in the life of man, that, for me, is
a bad book"
