JAPANESE HAND-STOVES.
A Device That Ought to Be Adopted i
This Country.

a Device That Ought to Be Adopted In
This Country.
A great institution that one learns
to appreciate now is the kairo, or
japanese hand-stove, little tin OF
copper box covered with gay-pattern-
ed cotton cloth, and about the size of
an ordinary purse. It. Is an Innocent
looking thing. but glows with steady
heat that does not waver. and stops
just short of burning or scorching.
The hidden fire is supplied by means
of stick of fine charcoal incased in
paper. that when lighted at one end
burns with steady glow for four or
five hours, leaving behind a soft
white ash. 1t is said that this pull :
verified charcoal is made from bam-
boo and persimmon leaves. but if so it
is probable that they are charred
more for economy's sake than
for any special qualities they
possess. The kairo is cent
uries old in Japan. but great I'M
provement upon rubber bags and hot
water bottles of Western people. With
a ka1ro in the pocket or in the hand
one can brave the coolest ride. and
for ailments there is nothing like it.
Foreign physicians use the kairo with
all hot applications. keeping poultices
steaming for hours at time, binding
kairos on the head and neck of neu-
ralgic patients. and on the chests of
those aff1 ic ted with colds.
In travelling the kairo is the comfort
of life, a match being all that is re-
quired to start the tropic al glow for
ones fingers; and when wrapped up
in rug with kairos properly dis
tributed about, one can remain on
deck in the coolest weather. When
the deathIy agony and misery of sea-
sickness assails one, the kairo is better
than all the bromides and powders
compounded. the little firebox re-
naming at its post when nothing
else can be kept on the
stomach. In damp and mildewy sea-
sons and places the shrewd house wives
scatter kairOs in the BEDS the trunks
and the linen closets, as with one stick
of carbon the little stove keeps up it's
gentle heat for more than four hours,
and by putting in two pieces it burns
for six and eight hours. The little
box of perforated tin or copper. with
its calico covering and sliding top,
costs from three cents to ten cents,
and the carbons. that come in a paper
like firecrackers, are only one cent for
ten. The japanese carry a kairo in
their long sleeves. where they can hold
it in their hands or slip it in their
broad girdles. where the warmth will
spread and generally cheer them the
most Why the exporters have never
taken up the kairo with enthusiasm is
a mystery. Next after tea the kairo
is the greatest blessing Japan can give
to the world. Cor. ST. Louis Glob :

also the cat, and dish of fresh water

water. and the testimony is that hy-
drophobia is almost unknown in those
localities where dogs can drink when
they wish.
Every city. village and country
town should be literally supplied with
drinking fountains for animals. and
they should be SO constructed that
even the smallest dogs can drink from
them. No gift to people confers
greater pleasure than a fountain. and
that person who turns aside a stream
from the field and gives watering
trough to the roadside, or provides a
fountain at which man and beast can
drink pure water. is truly public

Give the horse frequent opportunity
to quench thirst at times when not too

provide
we seek the shadow when the sun is
pouring its hot rays on the dry and
parcning earth. If the pasture is not
provided with shade trees in a con-
venient locality. set four six or eight
supports. across which place straw or
grass. and thus, in brief time. and
with little labor. make a shade in
which animals can rest from the heat
of the sun, to the great comfort of
themselves and benefit of their own
ers.
Remove the harness from the horses
on the hot day whenever you desire to
give them full, free rest. and once
during the day, preferably at night. a
thorough currying and grooming will
not only give rest, but will do about as
much toward improving the animals
condition as will the oats.
Examine the harness on your work
ing team and you will discover that
blinds, check-reins and cruppers are
simply torturing contrivances, serving
no useful purpose. Take them all off
for the convenience of yourselves and
the comfort of the horses. Keep the
stable well ventilated and free from
the strong ammonia. which Is injuri-
Gus to the eyes. Assist the animals to
protect themselves against flies. feed
regularly, hitch in the shade. and re-
member that the care which will give
comfort to the lower animals will
make them doubly profitable to their
owners, aside from the humane bear
ing upon the subject.

How Many Young People Jeopardiz

How Many Young People Jeopardize
Their Chances In Life.
In many people, and in the working
classes in general. there is serious
failing to live beyond their means.
And the consequences are that many
find themselves spending all they earn,
and trying hard to dress as well as
their neighbor who may be in better
circumstances.
But the chances are that the one
whom you take as n model is trying
just as hard to overtake the one who
is better dressed than himself Some
take sensible view. and as long as
they are neatly dressed are satisfied.
and consequently get along all right.
without any trouble, and enjoy them
selves. Oilers make the attempt to
dress and fail.
1t is only after dismal failure that
he realizes his folly, for it certainly is
folly. to attempt to live and dress be-
yond the ability to pay.
You not only spend more than you
ought, but you lose your self-respect.
as we'll as that of your neighbors and
employer, and with the certainty of
defeat in the end. for the end is only a
question of time.
And where is the gain? Your friends
know you can not afford it, and
strangers do not care. You may make
favorable impression at first. where
you are not known, but the fact will
soon leak out, and you will have lost
more than you might have gained.
A few may treat you rather more
respectfully because you are better
dressed. but they are the ones that
will benefit you the least The ma
jority of people guage you by what
you are rather than by what you wear
You can be clean and neat. polite
and kind, and so earn the respect of
those you work for and whom you
come in contact with great deal bet
ter than by overdressing Yourself. and
putting on more style thany your wages
