Popular Working Mems Club.

A "Tee- To- Tum" is a new name for
an old idea in London. It is simply q
laboring mans club house, the name
having no significance whatever, and be-
ing only chosen because it is striking
and likely to attract attention. There
are now eight tee-to.tums IN London,
and they all pay handsome dividend
on the investment. The ground floor OF
tee-to.tun is a restaurant, and is as
brilliant and attractive as a continental
cafe. Tea, coffee, cocoa, soups of all
kinds, meats, vegetables, puddlngs and
cakes are served at all hours at bottom
prices. Along one side of the room, is
a counter where tea is sold in packages,
and some weeks the sales aggregate
1000 pounds. Upstairs are the rooms
for the club, very popular feature.
The ShoredItch tee-to-tum, for instance,
has a club membership of 500. There
are smoking rooms, reading rooms, chess
rooms, class rooms for students, bath.
rooms, and a private dining room for
members of the club only. There is also
a hall capable of seating 500 or sou
persons, where entertainments, lectures,
etc., are held. The clubs are somewhat
sensationally advertised, as will be seen
from the following advertisement of the
Whitechapel Club:

The idea underlying the tee-to-t o-tum is
by no means novelty in this city. Such
institutions as St. Georges Memoria
House, and St. Bartholomew's Parish
House are already doing magnificent
work in the same lines. But the idea i!
capable of still further extension, alto
gether apart from the churches. There
is every reason to believe that the work
Ing mems club like the tee-to-tums, es
tablished on a purely secular basis
would be not only popular, but would
pay their own way. The name given tc
the London clubs might be considered
too fantastic by American working men,
but some name equally striking could
easily be found.-New York Tribune.

them as carefully as an old maid does her
pet flower bed. You may at any time
see men trotting along under big hats
watching closely every plant, and If one
is out of shape, too deep in the water, OF
not deep enough, they will push them
down or pull the mud up to them in such
a way that every plant produces its best
product.
The labor of planting rice field is very
great. If you will take all the blades or
sprouts in a field of oats or grain and put
them down in the ground again with a
dibble or your hands, you may get some
idea of the labor raising rice.
It is the same with the harvesting.
It is also done by hand. The rice bios.
SONS in September, and about the end
of September or the first of October, and
| in some parts of Japan still later, the
harvest is ripe. The sickle is used and
the rice is cut off close to the ground and
tied neat the roots in small punches,
which are hung over poles to dry. The
rice is about as high as our oats when it
| is still in the field, and it has to be
pulled from the straw and husked be-
fore it can be used. If you will take
bundle of oats and pull them through q
cross.cut saw, fastened to piece OF
wood about the hight of table, so that
all the grains of oats are pulled of, you
will get fair idea of how the japanese
get their rice from the straw. 1t is still
in the shell, however, and this husk or
she'll has to be taken off before it can be
used. One of the most common arrange
ments for getting this off is an immense
mortar, in which the rice grains are put
and pounded with wooded pestle until
the bulls and kernels are separated. Then
the mixture is put into wlnnowlng
machine, and this is turned by hand to
separate the rice from the chatf. Many
of the farmers have little rice mills which
work by water, but nearly everything is
on the smallest scale, and there are no
great rice-husking and polishing ma
chimes such as you will find in lndia'
Burmah and the other great rice coun-
tries of the world.
A good rice field ought to produce
about forty bushels to the acre. and
some of these Japanese fields produce
more. The country of Japan produces
nearly a hundred and fifty million
bushels of rice year, and their rice IS
the finest in the world. 1t may surprise
some to know that there ere different
kinds of rice, but Japan alone has over
200 kinds, and there is as much differ
ence in the quality as there is IN the
| quality of meat and potatoes. The
japanese understand the possibilities OF
! irrigation. These rice beds are on dill
ferent levels, and during the time l was
in Japan TIE land made me think OF a
gigantic patchwork or one OF nature s
crazy-quilts. Each little spot OF green
rice had flowers planted upon the little
walls of earth which surrounded it, and
between the patches ofrice were gardens
of beautiful flowers and many colored
crops of other kinds. The water Wnlcn

Dowker rubbed his head, being for once

himself.

said, ruefully; still you are in an awk-
ward situation. If you did not kill Lady

nursery. This is usually made in the
corner of the field and the seed is sown
in it. The bed has been first covered

with manure, and it is always the richest
part of the farm. As soon as the ground
has been prepared the seed IL scattered
over its surface by hand, and the water
is then let out from the irrigation canals
so that it covers the bed for depth of
a few inches. There is great care in the
selection of the seed, and it is sometimes
kept under water several days before
hand. Four or FIVE days after the seed
has been sown it begins to sprout, and
about five weeks later the young rice
plants have grown up and are ready for
transplanting. During the planting
scarecrows are put up in the field, and
the japanese scarecrow always has bow
and arrow, which it is supposed frighten
the birds away.
In the meantime the farmer has put
his rice lands in order. His beds are
made at different levels, and he has seen
that little earth walls have been thrown
up around the divisions of his fields and
has arranged his canals so that he can
let the water from one place to another
as he pleases. He has been manuring
the ground throughout the winter, and
he has made it as level as the floor. He
has flooded it with water, and it is as
soft as mush when he is ready to plant.
He no " takes his shoots from the nursery,
ties them into bunches of size that you
can easily take in your hand, and then
wading through the field, scatters them
singly right and left over the water
where they are needed. He has number
of men and women to help him plant, and
these take the punches and set them
out in rows of from four to six plants in
a bunch, and 80 that there are from
1900 to 5000 punches in an acre. This
planting is done about the first of June.
The plants begin to grow at once, and
within few weeks the, land OF Japan,
from being rough and brown, has become
a most beautiful green. The country has
a climate which is extremely favorable to
agriculture. It is so moist and warm in
the summer that the rice fields are like
80 many hot beds, and after planting the
only thing that is necessary to do is to
to zee that they are kept free from weeds
and are well watered. The farmers watch

A block of houses was recently taken
from Lawrenceville. Penn. ferried across
the Allegheny River and placed in Pitts
burg with no injury at all to the build
ings. The buildings were first taken off
their foundations, and turned by jacks
and blocks TO position at right angles
with the river. Half dozen sand
FLATS" or floats were then lashed to-
gether and tied up to the shore. On
each float three towers of blocks were
built to the height Of about eighteen feet,
heavy scantlipgs were adjusted to the
river bank, and by means of ropes, roll
ers and pulleys, the row of houses was
moved on the block foundation aboard
the floats. Tugboats were next brought
into service, and IN due time the build
ipgs were towed across the Allegheny
and disemfarked at the new site.
