Japanese Farm Life.

Something more than one-haIf tha
population of the empire, says Consul
yanzBuren, is agricultural. and the half
of these are women. In 1874. 10000.
600 acres were under cultivation, or
about three fourths of an acre per head
of the farming population; but the till
age is most thorough, and two crops are
invariably raised each year. All farm
labor is hard labor. A plow is seldom
seen. and labor saving machines are un@
known. Wages flor farm labor seem
low; 81 dollars year with board, or so
dollars without board, for a man, and
ten dollars with board and twenty-6ve
to thirty dollars without it for woman;
and then, as the clothing for q laborer
costs but four or Eve dollars year, and
he gets three-reom (bamboo and pa
perl house for eight or ten dollars d
Year. and clothing for q family OF four
or five costs not to exceed twenty doll
lars, and bis garden will produce one
half of his living, the farm laborer is
not in desperate condition, and being
exceedingly frugal, he manages to lay
up something every year. Yet the Ja-
panese farmers are prosperous. Nearly
all can read, write, and keep farm ac-
counts, while the boys are semitic school
and the girls taught music and needles
work at home. and there is not q house,
not even among the Coolies or laborers,
that does not have its bathroom, which
Is put in use every morning.

Babes in Hot weather.

The following suggestions from sci.
entific exchange are of general interest,
but should be supplemented with the
warning that too much bathing for either
little or big folks Is as bed or worse
than too little: "Mothers should battle
their babies frequently during the hot
weather. By so doing they will keep
their little ones cool and comfortable :
Moreover, they will also insure them
selves comparative quiet. For q child
