Safe Burial of RowIders.

Having buried many large stones, 1
affirm that the dangers incurred is
very slight if the work is attempted in
the right manner. Do not dig under
it at all. Keep the excavation about
six inches from the nearest side of the
stone. Make it long enough, wide
enough and deep enough to contain the
stone with room to spare. When the
hole is dug, then with long-handled
tools carefully remove the six-inch
shell of earth as low as you can reach
easily without taking any risk of being
crushed. A plank laid along the further
edge of the hole may give you some
advantage in digging. Next dig mar
row trench along the opposite side of
the stone from the excavation. Make
this trench close to the stone and part
ly under it. Now pour water into the
trench, and keen on pouring until the
earth underneath is softened into mud,
when the stone can usually be slid
without much trouble into the hole.
A lever can be used to give it a start

HOTELS IN JAPAN.
According to "Carp," They Are the NOfsiel
Places Outside of BedIam.

According to "Carp," They Are the NOfsiest
Places Outside of BedIam.
A japanese hotel is one of the noisi-
est places outside of Bedlam. The walls
are of paper, and you can hear all the
talk of your next-room neighbor.
Many of these walls are pushed back
at times, and as you pass through the
corridors you see the various occupa-
tions of the guests. The sleeping,
dressing and eating goes on before
your eyes. The guests eat in their own
rooms, and their food is served to them
on little tables about foot high. Each
man has his own table, and in the cases
of families each member squats on his
heels or knees before one of these little
tables, which is not over two feet
square. New chop-sticks are furnished
to every guest. They come wrapped
up in paper, and with these the guest
can eat every thing from rice to fish.
1t is wonderful how well they separate
the bones from the fish with them, and
how they are able to pick up beans and
peas between two sticks and eat
them. The food is brought in in lit
tie bowls, and there are no plates,
knives, forks or spoons. The rice
comes last, and this is brought to the
room in a wooden box hooped with
brass and looking very much like an
American sugar box. The Japanese
eat very fast, and man is considered
lazy if he eats slowly. 1t is rather a
compliment than otherwise to make a
noise in eating. and the smacking of
the lips shows the host that you appre-
ciate his food. Ii you grunt and re-
gurgitate, it will not be out of the way,
and when you close your dinner with
rice you will do well if you will pour
your rice-bowl half full of tea and mix
this with the rice. As you get near
the bottom it will be the approved jap
anese fashion to lift the rice-bowl to
your lips and shovel the contents in
with your chopsticks. You may eat as
much rice as you please, and you will
be expected at the close of the meal to
Oeeh Oluliy wrap up CHo od1utteSN NreIndln-
ing and to drop them into the long
pocket of the sleeves of your gown.
You will find no sign in these japanese
hotels indicating that flood taken from
the table will be charged extra for,
and if you are dining with Japanese
you will probably have from two to six
geishas to keep you eompany.-Frank

low to obtain E1eaIth.

The great secret of unvaryiDg health
Is before every thing, to have body
in high state of vigor, and once hav-
ing that to keep it. There is less wis
dom in studying the ways of curing
an ailing frame than in giving your at
tention to those of obtaining hearty
one that never becomes ailing. A
proper physique sheds pains, aches,
disorders, illnesses, diseases, epidemics
as duck does water, and enables its
owner to laugh at Doctors bills. Il
confers upon its possessor happiness
amid the heaviest misfortunes and
gives the surest promise of longevity.
To obtain it, have some regular husi-
ness that will give you an interest in
life and make you alive all over,
without over-working you; shun
care and worry; be systematic in
your habits; avoid dissipation; sleep
enough; eat plain, wholesome food, the
best of the kind, and, above all. devote
yourself methodically to some athletic
pursuit, such as will give you exercise
all round, and spend all the time you
can in the open air. Then forget you
have body that can by any possibility
get out Of order. and never think Of
your health, -Nelebatgpoyt HsrGd,

HOURS OF LABOR.
Figures Showing That the Struggle for
Life is Becoming Easier.

FiSores showing That the Struggle for
Life is Becoming Easier.
The hours of labor as whole have
been diminished. In the factory ten
hours have been customary in place of
eleven, or even twelve; the usual hours
of work in textile factories forty or
fifty years ago having been thirteen
and even fourteen. In the building
trades, nine and ten hours have become
customary in place of eleven and
twelve, or even more. In all the great
retail shops and wholesale warehouses
in which goods are distributed, the
hour of closing is earlier and the hour
of openingis later than it used to be.
The optimist can thus find on every
side facts which sustain his view that
the general struggle for life is bscom-
ing easier and not harder, while the
statistics of the life insurance COM
panies prove that the duration of life
is lengthening. Forty or fifty years
since, the daughters of the farmers of
New England worked thirteen hours a
day in the cotton factory in order to
earn $l75 a year; to-day French Cana
dians, working ten hours a day, earn
$500 a year; yet the cost of labor. is less
now than ever before. In broad and
general way it might be proved that
Uncle Sam and his children have OBJ
tanned such power over the mechanism
of production and distribution during
the last twenty-five years that if the
long hours of work required thirty
years ago to produce the materials for
a narrow and poor subsistence were
now applied under the new conditions,
the same hours would yield at least
one-third more of all the necessaries of
life than they did then. -EdWard At
EinSon, IN F0T7tne.
