Japan's Sacred Mountain.

Increasing Danger of Tapc Worm.

In the Texas grazing region, from which
has sprung, within the last two decades,
the entire stock of range cattle Of the
western states and territories, the beef
tape worm is a most common occurrence.
In fact, do not believe exaggerate when
] say that at least every fifth person is Rf-
tEcted The cause of this is that on open
ranges the eggs Of tape worm are most
easily and widely distributed, and hence
the cattle more frequently become infested
with cysss. Stall fed cattle, on the other
hand, where the water is usually less sub
ject to contamination, and the food
cleaner, are only seldom infected. and
hence tape worm was not so prevalent In
regions where the latter were used.
In the last few years, however, the
shipment of range cattle, by means of re-
frigerator cars, has become the chief beef
supply of the east, and the danger and
frequency of tape worm greatly increased
OF course no one should stop the use of
well cooked meat on this account, but
rare and half cooked meats can easily be
aeoided.-"R T. H. in Science.

Save Your Strength.

Young mothers, be as chary OF your
strength as a miser is Of his money. You
viii have abundant use for all at your COM
mand, in the rearing of your children. All
used unnecessarily is wasted, squandered-
You have certain life supply, and when
this is exhausted, you must fail, though that
exhaustion may occur at forty years of age.
Like the moments, never returning, the vital
supply, that was intended for the whole life,
cannot return when once wasted. Let little
feet run up and down stairs, to do little
errands; it will do the the children no harm
to do that part, and will favor you very
much. Do not lift whole tub or even a
pail of water, if it in any way overexerts
yourself. A little planning, a little time
taken for hard effort, little rest, taken
when you are weary, will prove economy
Overwork is as disastrousa the payment Of
exorbitant intersst.-Dr Hanaford

Deceitfu1 Society Girls.

They do say that girls are nowadays TAX
ing very much TO acting in private life In
genious false pretenses of aesthetic occupa-
lions and tastes are declared to be common
among unmarried bellies who are seeking
husbands In extreme cases Of positive
wicked deceit girls are known to procure
professional artists half finished paintings,
which they display as their own work, and
which they dabble at occasionally in order to
keep up appearances.
The writer knows Of fair pretender to
poetic talent who got a newspaper man to
write for her poem OF about twenty verses.
Then she copied the first two or three on a
sheet of paper, and left it lying on table in
her boudoir When a female chum came in
for an unceremonious call, the hostess would
seem confused, and finally confess that she
was trying her hand little at composition.
This device was repeated for half dozen
of her friends Then the succeeding verses
were copied one after another, day by day,
until the poem was, in the course Of a week,
completed The Observers imagined that
they witnessed its evolution, and they spread
the report that their friend was indeed a
poetess -New York Letter.

Live F1ees Wanted.

A singular advertisement attracted my
attention the other day. It was a call for
10, 600 live fees. to be delivered in parcels
of not less than 5000 each, at certain
address. l confess my curiosity to know
what man could want with such a vast
number Of these interesting little insects
led me to go and make personal inquiry.
l found the man was fee trainer, and
gathered these facts: That it takes three
months TO teach a fee to do anything
worthy OF public performance; that
only one flee in thousand can be taught
anything; that a performing fee usually
lives a year with great care, and that IN
response 10 his advertisement he had only
received in three days one package. esti-

The Germans of st. Louis find it very
difficult to prevent their children, born in
this country and educated in English pub
lie schools, from forgetting their own Ian
guage- In great many German faui-
lies the children are forbidden to speak
English in the house and are punished if
they do. My father, for instance, has a
system OF fines and punishments for
speaking anything but German in the
house, which he applies to all the MEM
bers of his family. All the older sons
and daughters, who are either given an
allowance of money or are making money
for themselves, are fined five cents for
every English word they utter in the
house, and the smaller children are pun
ished in various ways. If they are sit
ting at the table when the forbidden word
is, spoken, they are sent away without
their meals. In this way all of our fam
lily have preserved their fuency in Ger
man speaking, but they speak English by
choice. Globe Democrat.

REST FOR BRAIN TOILERS.
Good Work Cannot be Done When the
Brain Is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Men.

Good Work Cannot be Done when the
Brain Is Exhausted-NewspaperM en.
There are no workers who require an
nual, or even more frequent, periods of
rest more than newspaper men. Toiling
as most of them do, under pressure, the
nerves and brain are continually at the
highest tension. Unless this strain is re-
lieved from time to time, the wearied
brain, if it does not snap, becomes relaxed,
and it is impossible to produce first class
work.
A man may be able to write when his
brain is exhausted. Some men get so in
the habit that they can write when they
are asleep but all vigor, force and origin
ality is lacking, or if the strain OF brillian-
cy is kept up, it is done at the expense Of
life itself This is net news TO most of
our readers. There is hardly a journalist
of any experience who does not fully re-
alize the truth Of this statement, and it is
safe to say that there are very few who
would not be willing to take the vacations
if they could get them.
The trouble lies with the proprietsrs Of
the papers and with the space system.
The writer who is dependent upon his col
umn string, who has no fixed salary to
rely upon, rarely has an opportunity TO
save enough to pay the expenses Of a va
cation nor can he afford to stop the pro-
duction of column filters long enough to
take the rest which he requires. 1t is on
this account that we see so many young
men broken down in newspaper work,
prematurely old, worn out snd useless.
There are in New York alone over five
hundred space writers, brilliant, cultured
and enterprising, who come within this
category and who cannot do more than
take day or two Off at the furthest. Not
only is the absence Of nsSsey, during the
brief vacation they might take, a serious
consideration, bat the possibility and prob
ability that some rival may take their
place in whole or in part, or that they
may laSe some valuable opportunity in
which they can obtain large returns, are
even more potent reasons for their re-
naming at the freadnill.
An ingenious knight of the pen suggests
the formation of Mutual Vacation As
sociation." a hundred members contrib
uting 81 q week apiece would accumulate
enough capital to give each member a
pleasant week or two in the woods or at
the seaShore. At the same time the asso-
citation as body could fill all his assign
ments and represent him to a considerable
extent in the discharge Of nearly all his
professional duties. The idea Is worth q
trial, at any rate.-The Journalist.

Advice 20 a Hostess.

Learn to be composed. That is to young
hostess the most difficult thing of all. A
young woman just beginning to entertain is
essentially nervous and anxious. She is look
ing at the servants instead of listening to her
guests She should always be sublimely I'M
conscious of the machinery of her dinner.
She must resolutely put on mask OF COM
posture and assume virtue if she have it not.
Nothing is of so much Importance as her own
demeanor. If that is quiet and dignifed
every one is comfortable. A fussy hostess,
who scolds her servants, wrinkles her brow,
gives her husband look which means terri
Bile Caudleisms in the future, one who does
not listen to the person talking to her-such
person is very crude in the art Of enter.

Some Peculiarfties of . Life in England.
f'The Glasses and the Masses"
an London one can buy more for penny
and less for guinea than in any other place
on earth
This was the dictum of one of the United
States ministers accredited to the court of St.
James some time ago, my memory waverlpg
between Mr.. Motley and Mr.. Marcy as the
originator of the remark. Whichever gen
tlernan actually uttered the words is q INST
ter of not very vital importance The truth
of the Statement is incontroveTtible. and IS as
palpable in Mr.. Phelps time as 1t was In Mr.
Marcy's
/ think the one great reason why there is
such q difference between the purchasing
power of the penny and the guinea-the for
ner coin being relatively so much more valu-
able than the latter-is that England Is, has
always been, and persists In being an arlsto-
cratic country. In spite Of the great advance
Of the democratic idea in late years, and the
undoubted fact that in some respects Engls
enjoys as great an amount of freedom as any
republic of our day, it is, nevertheless, the
case that practically only two classes of PEG
pie are recognized in England, namely, the
rich and the poor, the ariSUocratic and the
plebeian. The rich are very rich; the poor
ere very poor 4 guinea is nothing 70 the
former: penny great deal 70 the latter.
Hence, as little as possible is given to the
rich for their guinea; as much as possible to
the poor for their penny.
In making this positive statement / am
aware that / am laying myself open 70 a
counter argument Of great strength, which
would truthfully indicate the existence of a
most important element of English life, to-
wit: the middle section of the community.
an enormous body which ranges between the
eristocracy and the plebeians in endless gra-
dations, touching the upper ranks on the one
side, and the lower on the other. The ques-
ton would take some time TO thresh out, but
being so, would individually prove that, as
have said, the population of England is sepa-
rated into two divisions of the great human
family, who are widely known and spoken of
as the classes and the masses"
Travellers from America are always
credited in London end elsewhere in
England, with the possession of enormous
wealth. The tales of our Vanderbilts, Astors,
Mackays and others of that ilk, have con-
verted all our people into niilionaires, III the
estimation of those who cater TO their needs

cocks and hens. No penny advantages for
them All remonstrance is unavailing The

IN case of fire in the house, the first effort
should be to close the doors and windows so
as to prevent the ingress of air. By this
means the fire can be confined to one room,
while the inmates can be aroused and have
better chance to escape. Catch the first large,
