What Is the reason that Japan has 10
poverty problem? One reason is probably
10 be found in the land system. which has
given TO every worker holding and en-
couraged him TO supply his wants by his
own labor. Effort has thus been develi
oped and wants are limited. Another
reason lies in the natural taste for coun-
try beauty Nowhere else are parties
formed to visit the blossom trees, and To-
where else are pilgrlmages simply for the
sake OF natural beauty. A country life
has. therefore, its ow interest. and men
do not crowd the cities for the sake OF
excitement. There is. too. In Japan. a
curious absence Of destinations luxury.
The habits of living are In all classes
much the same, and the rich do not out
shine the poor by carriages. palaces and
jewels. The rich spend their money on
curios. which, II costly, are limited. and
the most popular agitation is that against
the big European houses which ministers
build for themselves. Wealth is thus not
absorbed. and is more ready for invest
ment in remunerative labor. The last
reason which occurs 10 the mind OF a
traveller with comparatively few oppor-
tunitles for forming opinions Is the
equality Of manners in all classes. Rich
and poor are alike courteous IL Is not
possible 10 distinguish employer from
laborer by their behavior; all are clean,
all are easy, all are restrained.
The Governor let's his child go to the
common school and sit next TO the thfld
Of the casual laborer. certain that his
child will pick up no bad manners and
get no contamination in thought or in
person. This is equality enables rich and
poor to meet as friends. and gifts can pass
without degradation. The rich mobiles in
ten country, just as the university men
whom we meet in Toxic. are thus able
TO give TO those whom they know TO be in
need, and friendship becomes the channel
OF charity. The question Is will this sur
vive the introduction OF the Industrial
system? 1t is possible that some OF II
may and that japan may teach the West
how 10 deal with labor.-Fortnightiy Re

How Often the Same Cogs Meet.

In former years, when, wooden
cops were mostly used In all
kinds OF gearing, and in wooden
wheels as WE'LL the makers we're
anxious not to have the same cogs
come together too often; because, II
both happened to be soft they would
wear out the more rapidly; or II one
was very soft and the other very hafd
the soft one would wear very rapidly;
either way the wearing would be very
uneven, and to secure an even veal
on the cogs frequent interchange OF
relations was desirable and sought
after in the construction OF wheels
The matter IS not so important now,
rs iron or iron and wood are used lof
the purpose. Still. undoubtedly, IRE
ouenv interchanges Of relations De-
tween the passing teeth or cogs, IS OF
more or less benefit in securing even
wear. The rule for determining the
frequency of this Interchange, or how
often the same cogs will meet, is 10
divide the cogs or teeth Of the pinlon
into the cogs or teeth of the wheel
If the result is even, without re-
mainder, as four divided into sixteen,
the same cogs will meet at every
revolution of the wheel. If there be
a remainder, divide it into the teeth
or cogs of the pinion. II even the
ouotient shows how often the wheel
will revolve between the meetings Of
the same cogS' If, however, there i
a remainder, the wheel will reyolyt
between meetings as often a!
there are teeth in the piniOn; ant
that is the greatest difference thai
can be obtained under any clrcum
stance. The rule is curious is moi
very useful.

Scheme of a Treasury Girl

All kinds of stories come from the
national capital, and here is one Of
the most unique and not the least
interesting that Is receiving general
circulation. The heroine's name Is
not given. Twelve years ago this
lady came a poor innocent girl to
Washington and went to work in the
Treasury. To her each day came the
old and battered currency and bank
bills, and 1t was her business to de-
stroy them; the destroyed money be-
ing substituted by brand new bills.
Well, this innocent young girl con-
cocted a scheme. She began to cut
the good pieces out Of the bills before
they were given over to their doom.
She cut an end from one, an end from
another and the middle from another.
From some bllls-and always, under
stand, from a one hundred dollar or
a one thousand dollar bill-she cut
the figures. Just how she pasted
sewed or joined these pieces together
no one seems to know. With all tho
rest she made frequent brief visits to
Canada, giving some trivial, good ex-
cuse, it is assumed now, to get rid OF
her money.
1t is stated that this ingenious
woman kept up her clipping and
moneymaking for years. One day,
after twelve years of service, she sud
denly fell i'll and did not come to her
desk. The sub detailed to do her
work, found a package of bills the
lady had been working at the day be.
fore, with telltale clippings and
notches thereon. So the cat emerged
from the bag after many years The
lady lost her place and no effort was
ever made to prosecute her. Whether
Others were engaged in the specula
ton, or she played a lone hand, nc
one seems clear upon. After she was
out and the Government breathing
easier it was discovered that her be
longings In real estate and otherwise
amounted to over three hundred
thousand dollars. Not bad banl
for a woman who had worked anC
knew the value Of a dollar.

Lady HanrY Wes Curious.

When Lady Somerset first came to
America, she was particularly anxious
to become acquainted with all the
American customs and to take part
IN everything American. Her appre-
cation Of America was intense.
Now, will you tell me" said she
,ne day to friend, "why the chest,
nut has been selected as national
nut. and why it is SO dear to the
hearts of every oneP [ notice that
all, be they old or young, boy OF girl,
man or woman, speak Of the chestnut
frequently, and always pleasantly,
and even affectionately.
"To-day, as l was seated In one o.
your horse cars, a little boy began
telling another one some short anec-
dote. when suddenly the other little
bow sprang to his feet and shouted,
oh chestnuts!r Later in the day l
saw one man whisper something IN
The ear of friend, to which the
friend only replied, "Oh, what o
chestnut
"How pleasant to have something
Of which every one is so fond. But
explain the cause of the liking. why
was that particular nut selected?
Whv not the almond or the pecan!
Is it that the chestnut grows more
'~eely here?"-New York World.

A Remarkable Lighthouse.

One of the most wonderful light
houses in the world is that at Minots
Ledge, near Boston. Its history has
been one Of romance. The greater
part Of its foundation is under water
at low tide. In 1847 skeleton light
house Of iron was erected there on
iron piles placed in holes drilled IN
the rock. A furious hurricane burst
upon the coast in April, 1851, and
anxious watchers from the Cohasset
shore thought the structure had been
carried away. But, as the sun sank,
out shone the light across the storm
tossed waters. At 10 p. m. the light
was seen for the last time. At one
hour after midnight the fog bell was
heard above the roaring Of the break
ers At daybreak the ocean was
blank; the lighthouse was gone.
Knowing that no help could reach
them. the keepers had lighted their
lamp as a warning TO Others, ana
their lives had gone out with it
A granite tower now occupies the
SDOI. DO UlMSuAV UdS ~ w A~y -
foundation in the surf that only
thirty hours work could be done dur
ing the first year, but the tower
stands to-day as enduring as the ledge
itself-an isolated pile Of stone amid
the waves, by the force Of which it is
swayed like tree in the wind. Dur
ing the long winter months all COM
munication with the land is shut off.
In summer the occasional visitor is
hoisted into the lighthouse from his
boat by means Of a chair, and from
time to time a skiff is lowered BY pull
legs to convey one or another Of the
five keepers to the shore. The life
tells on them frightfully. Several OF
them have been removed because
they have gone insane, and more
than one has attempted suicide.

A Welcome Change.

There used to be few years ago
such q Juror about elocution that
when people met on the street in
stead of asking each other "How do
you do?" the usual senselesS form OF
address, they inquired, Show do you
elocute?" Men and women paid fab
u Gus prices to be able to read one or
two selections with facial cOntOrtions
that were supposed to illustrate the
text, and the pleasing exhibition Of
reader trying to make his features
express the surface Of landscape
garden were offered to the public.
Then came new Interpretation
called the art Of expression which
was sensible and artistic. Still there
was one fatal defect. The pupil
could read her selection for which
face and voice were both trained, but
she could not pick up book at ran
dom and read any page aloud with
the meditation Of voice and soul OF
expression demanded by the subject.
She could do nothing without her
lines.
Now this bids fair to be remedied
by the new education which begins
with the child and teaches it to 'elo-
cute" gracefully without the tricks
of elocution; to begin the career OF
instruction with the art Of express
sion instead of bringing it in as
& postgraduate accomplishment.
Among the many complicated studies
of the public schools, surely the art
of good reading should be so we'll
taught that there would be no need
of a supplementary course. Free

body, and if these are closed By oil
they are suffocated. Any one may
test this by dropping sweet oil on the
thorax or back of wasp: it very soon
dies. For this reason oil has been
found one Of the best things to use
for the destruction Of insects.
