THE PERVERSE JAPANESE.
Some of the Things They Do Exactly
Opposite to Our Ways.


Located as they are on the other
side OF the earth, what wonder is it
that she Japanese should do things in
q fashion that looks conJrariwise to
usp At any rate this is, indeed, the
ease, and | will enumerate few illus
trations of the topsy-turvy way in
which they do things in that remote
and remarkable land. The japanese
books oegin upon the page where our
books end; the page which we call the
title page they utilize for the colophon
or finals, In the superscription of a
letter the Japanese begin with the
name OF the country to which the letter
Is to be sent, then follows the city,
then the local address, and finally,
the name OF the receiver, thus:
America, Illinois, Chicago, lip Jones
street, Smith. John. This, after all,
makes an easier job for the post Office
employes-this descent upon the gen.
eral into the particular.
In Japan the babies are carried no.
in the arms but upon the back. Eli
quette compels the removal of the
shoes rather than the doing Of the
hat. Boats are stranded with their
sterns instead OF their prows. on the
shore. Instead OF saying northeast
or southwest, the japanese say east
north west south. Wine is always
drunk before, not after dinner, and
sweets are served before the substan-
tial viands Of meal In all books
the foot notes occur at the top Of the
page; keys turn to the left, carpenters
plane toward the body instead of out
ward, and in cash accounts the figures
are written first and the correspond
ing item next. The Japanese mount
the horse from the right side,
the harness is fastened in all parts on
that side, and the name is brushed and
made to grow that way. In the stall
the horse is placed with his head out

SOUTH AMERICAN PAMPERO.
A Strange Natural Phenomenon Which

a Strange Natural Phenomenon Which
Appears at NIontevideo.
A strange natural phenomenon Is
the pampero South American storm

made its acquaintance during a stay
at Montevideo. A light breeze had
been blowing from the northeast, but
had steadily increased in force, and
brought with it the heated air of the
tropics, which, passing over treeless
ing sun rays of a clear sky, So warns
up the atmosphere on the shores of
the Rio de la Plata, that its effect
upon human beings is exceedingly bad.
This state Of things generally lasts
for week, or longer, until the sitting
heat becomes unbearable and the in

Of thunder bear down upon the foe

breath on the surrounding regions.
The inhabitants now climb on the

struggle, and to be the first to partic.
ipate in the delicious relief brought
by the pamperO to their fevered bod
les.
Far out on the river curious sight
may be seen; the opposing waves,
raised by the rival winds, meet like a
rush Of cavalry in wild career their
white horses with foaming crests dash
themselves against each other, and
send clouds Of dazzling spray high in
the air: this being backed by an
inky SKY renders the scene most i'm

n Great Forth Bril- @.

Many neutrality-suspicious. have been
given of the great Forth bridge of
Scotland, but the only way to get a
fair idea of its size is to compare it
with the Brooklyn bridge. The
whole length of the Brooklyn bridge,
including the approaches. is $3.50
feet The Forth bridge measures
$500 feet, or q mile and %alf. The
Brooklyn bridge has central span of
,595 feet, from tower to tower. The
Forth bridge has two spans neasur-
ing l, 200 feet each. The Brooklyn
towers are PIP feet ABOVE the water;
each Of the three towers of the Forth
is $50 feet high, The bridge consists
of ak cantilevers. from which six of
tho largest ironclads, weighing A.

DOUBTiN0 A STRONG MAN,
How a Modern Hercules Proved Ills
Power.

Power.
On the day preceding the arrival OF
circus at a certain good-sized town
in Ohio a strong man." who had a
weeks lay-off from the museum cir
cult dropped down on visit to some
Of his relatives. There was no dis
count on him as marvel OF
strength and the wood-cut which
pictured him throwing d bull over a
six-rall fence was not much of an eX-
aggcratlOn. As soon as it was dis
covered that he had no particular
scruples against the flowing bowl the
boys set out to have a little fun. Early
in the forenoon of circus day an al
legged circusman waited on the great
western giant and intimated that he
was fraud from way back, and that
his marvellous feats OF muscle were
tricks and decisions, This had the
effect we hoped for, and four or five
glasses Of beer did the rest.
Soon after noon the strong man
sailed down TO the circus grounds to
demand an apology. The officials had
begun buying tickets and the circus
people were too busy to talk. The
way they ignored his presence made
the strong man madden than ever. and
he started for the entrance. The two
men stationed there tried to prevent
his ingress, but he threw one into a
farmers wagon and the other over a
lemonade stand and entered the tent.
Six OF the circus men now rallied on
the center, but the struggle didn't last
two minutes. He flung them allow and
aloft as If playing with the clubs.
Hey, R-u-b-e!" sounded the toe
sin, and every single man connected
with the circus rallied in response. As
thuJ came with clubs, neck-yokes, and
wagOn-stakes, the strOng-man looked
about for some weapon. There was a
long-tailed bulldog lying under the
sacred cows cage and he grabbed him
by the tail and widened the circle and
finally broke through it, smashing
every man who opposed him. When
clear of the circle he pushed a baby
elephant Off her legs, upset a candy
wagon, tore down a section OF seats
about forty feet long, ard appeared
outside to excIalm:
':All fraud and delusioD. is itP
Haven't any moral right to my title.
Ell? " ell, mebbe [ haven t, but
guess this crowd won't dispute itn'
And he pulled the ticket agon over
on its beam ends, flung a bale of hay
into q side show, and took the middle
OF the road to walk back to the hotel.

TO EARN PIN MONEY.
How Girls May Turn Welcome Penny

Now and Then.
One good way for girl to earn her
own pin money is to raise canaries.
Good singers always bring good prices,
and even the poor ones are worth
something. There is considerable
amusement too; to >e derived from
the care of birds, by one who is fond
of pets and the cost is next to moth
ing after the parent birds and d cage
are once purchased, The rules for
success are simple A big roomy
cage, a wide shallow nest and clean
illness are requisites. Paper spread
on the floor Of the cage, sprinkled
with sand, is easily removed and re-
neWed. A bird of light color is best
mated with one Of darker hue or the
offspring will LOOK either washed out
or too dingY. If the male canary is a
good singer cross with u linnet will
produce the best results. Let the birds
alone eS much as possible. Do not
fuss over them. Do not be alarmed
if they fight little at first; they soon
settle upon which is TO rule the roost.
Err rather on the side Of too little
than too much food. Be careful to
give nothing salty or greasy. One
pair of birds will raise several broods
in year. The little ones are per-
fecG frights at irst but grow fast.
At four weeks they begin TO squeak.
Their first efforts are positively pain
full, but in two weeks notes should
be distinctly audible if the bird is to
be singer. The writer had a hen
bird that died when ner brood was a
week old, but the widower raised the
whole family and beauties they we're

Of egg-eating is learned. II the shells
are thoroughly crushed into small pieces
before feeding, there will be no danger.
Laying hens have an extraordinary ap-
petite for the bits of shells, while the
male will scarcely notice them-not out
of politeness, however, for, when other
food is given, he is generally as full Of
get-up-and-get as any Of them.
POULTRY rairing, like any other BUSH
ness, is trade to learn, and if one is
is adapted to it, or has liking for it, he
will succeed. All beginners are advised
to start with few birds, increasing the
number as they learn how to handle
/ them. What every one wants is to pro-
duce eggs when they bring the highest
prices, and also poultry for market
when it is not plenty. A place near
city is naturally the best, as one can
readily secure customers that pay good
prices for fresh eggs and nicely dressed
chickens.

Some Curious Paten Is.

A Western man has patented .
shield 10 prevent a horse from being
cut by barbed wires. and this consists Of
a sort of armor OF padded cotton OF
leather, which is strapped around the
neck, breast and front legs of the
horse. Another way of preventing
horses from hurting themselves or
these fences is found in the electrical
division. The wires are charged with
electricity, and when the horse goes
against them he gets a shock which
drives him back. In the same division
there is an electric plan for prevent
ing horses from cribbing. The mar
ger is charged with electricity and
the moment the horse attempts to crib
he gets shock. Then there is 8
chicken-hobbler, consisting OF spring
attached TO hens leg, which, if the
hen attempts TO scratch, VII move
her onward, and will in fact walk her
right out Of the garden.

THE P0ULTRY-YARD.
Poultry Notes.

WHEN a chick frequently picks itself
It is lousy. Buy some Persian insect
powder.
USE earth as an absorbent in your
poultry house, use freely, and keep q
constant supply on hand.
NEVER ship an egg that is dirty or in
any manner soiled. The appearance Of
an article is prime factor in its sale.
CRoP-BoUND fowls can trace their
trouble to the lack of gravel or sharp,
gritty grinding material, as we'll as to
fbrous substances; such as potato and
apple paringS or graSS-bladeS.
"Do DUCK eggs need sprinkling?"
Why of course they do. If not, why
does the duck when setting invariably
take daily bath and sprinkle her own
eggs? Follow natures laws and YOU will
not be very far misled.
In feeding corn to hens it is better to
shell it by hand and scatter few grains
at time, than to throw quantity
down and allow them to gorge them
selves. 1t is still better to throw small
grain among straw, and let them scratch
for it.
A LITTLE bone meal in the feed will
help chicks to form bone, and they will
push along much faster. Use meal pre-.
pared for chicks from selected bones.
Common phosphate meal won't do-too
many inferior bones go into its compo-
sition. For the large chicks give granu-
lated bone.-POult1y NelCs.
The eggs of ordinary poultry require,
as rule, twenty-one days to hatch, but
TINS Is by no means universal rule.
Cold weather or prevailing east wind,
will lengthen the time day or more,
while warm weather and an attentive
setter will materially shorten it.

the fire. to prevent the hens from eating

ham Young, the mormon president
was asked TO give his ideal of the
perfect woman. to which he replied:
IL have too much regard for nv do

scriptlon. or even to give my ideas of
a perfect woman, l have head of one
man who fancieo he had perfection
in wife because she was deaf and
dumb. Another happy soul condoned

was perfecC housebeeper. To my
mind there is happy medium which

1T Is THE MALE FLIRT
Who Is the More Derestabie in q
Woman's EStima ton.

Woman's Estima tion.
One cannot pass through a firta-
tion-eisher man or woman-without
lowering the tone Of ones mind. writes
Felicia Holt in the Ladies' Home
Journal | know that / seem to thus
put mind before the affections; but in
this prosaic nineteenth century, hearts
seem out of fashion. Cupid has taken a
holiday and lett us to our own devices;
he loves an age when pounds and
pence play less conspicuous part,
for Love laughs at calculation. So
our mental development becomes our
highest consideration, anu it must
suffer in a game where only the sly
trickster holds the trump card.
Dignity and triding put each other
out Of cOuntenance, as does the
bishop and the clown; and when a
man and woman enter with deliber-
alton into the unworthy 5oust of tilt
ing ones attractions against the other
with no other aim than the eratiica-
ton of his or her vanity. then, l say,
neither party can come out unscathed,
either mentally Or morally.
If one l. more detestable than the
other, it is the male firt; for since
custom has given him the power OF
making the advance, he can do the
most harm; particularly, should he
practice his cruel arts upon an unso-
phistluated girl; she may fall a vic
tim to his cruelty.
A man may recover from a bitter
encounter of this sort sadder and a
wiser man; his trust in woman may
be terribly shaken, but he does not
succumb us does the woman, whose
heart, once wiled from her keepin@
grows weary of the world.
And, incredible as it may seem,
women are quite as much to blame as
men for the sin of Irritation. For if
they condemn the sin, they invariably
smile upon the sinner, especially if he
be handsome and attr active.

Antiquity of Gloves.

The antiquity of gloves is very
great. They doubtless antedate his
tory, for the earliest history alludes
to them. They have been known ana
worn from the remote ages of the
world. Homer, in the Odyssey, de-
scribes Laertes, the former King. the
father of Ulysses, in his retirement
while gloves secured his hands to
shield them from the thorns." Memo
phon jeers at the Persians for wearing
gloves as a protection from the cold.
mot only did they have umbrellas
borne over them in the summer" he
says, "but, in winter it is not sufficient
for them to clothe their heads and
their bodies and their feet, but they
have coverings made for tn cir hand s
and their fingers" The Romans
scorned such etfeminacy at that time,
but we are told that at about the time
of Christ the amanuensis of PGny the
historian, wore gloves to keep his
fingers nimble in cold weather.
