A THRIFTY PEOPLE.
Average Cost OF Living in Japan Is
Less Than Three Dollars.

Twenvy millions out OF 3O,COO,O 600 of
people in Japan live on So a month and the
average on less than $3. Rice and the
merest nibble Of vegetables constitute their
diet, and their clothing IS cotton. Rice costs
S1.50 for 100 pounds, potatoes 10 cents
for The same amount and teal cks 12 cents
apeice; fish. however, is dear. ou would
be surprised at the amount of cucumbCrs
these people consume and large basket
ful costs but cents.
Making gods is a Temunerative trade
and they are sold in all prices from $500
to 81, and from all materials from gold
TO unpainted wood. Paper lanterns is an
other occupation and the prices range
from o cents to S15. Law is a favorite
occupation and the fee for a license is a
a year. The japanese are prejudiced against
the manufa cture of quack medicines, and
the license to make them is So a year,
but the druggists do not pay so much to sell
them.
Blind men make a good living by sham
poOing which is a luxury that even the
poorest Japanese will not forego, It con-

haste. The fellow, who stood about ten
feet from where Larry was concealed,
poked two large revolyerS in the faces of
the men in the cab. Seconds seemed hours
to Larry as he gripped the whistle between
his teeth and listened to the slight hiss OF
steam and the regular throb of tue vacuum

to poke his head out little he heard the
crack OF a rifle behind him. Two deputies
climbed into the cab. There was rattle
of chains and some oathS as the fellow sub
mitted TO the handouts.
Passengers now hurried from the rear OF
the train and crowded excltedly around
the ring OF deputies, inside of which were
six desperate, suIen-lookIng fellows, one
lying on the ground, shot in the leg, in an
attempt to escape.

TreeS....
BY j. CARTER BEARD.

The Da>lyes Of New Guinea climb like
monkeys and travel for long distances
from one tree TO another without descend
ing TO the ground. In this country, where
birds build little fairy-iike cabins on the
ground, the people construct their houses
in the top OF the talleSt forest trees First
a native having climbed the great trunk of
the teak or cedar or oak tree lie has Sc
lected, begins by cutting Off some OF the
branches the right length to support plat
form of bamboo ON which his house is TO
rest You would wonder how he could
do anything with the tools he uses if you
should see them. He has no saw or steel
edged axe, but only sort OF tomahawk
made OF stone and
He Has Few knives of bone or
Tools. hard wood. When,
however, be has In
some way managed to get the limbs OF ms
tree SO cut and fashioned as 10 support
his house, his hardest fwork is done
The house itself is soon built and is made
of bamboo strips and thatchtd with palm
leaves. All parts are firmly lashed together
with strips OF rattan palm, a very tough
vine used by the natives in place of ropes
1t is not a large house, though it some
times contains several rooms, but it is a
safe ana secure retreat for the women
and children in case Of sudden attack by
hostile tribes.
But as the builder can scarcely expect
his wife and little children, TO say moth
ing of his pet pigs, OF which these people
generally keep one or more with them in
the house, TO climb the tree, he has to
provide some way OF getting from the
ground TO the house. This he does by
making long ladder of vines reaching
from the earth TO the platform upon which
his house is built.
He Draws Up If enemies appear, the
The Ladder. ladder is, OF course,
drawn up, and those
above rest securely far out of reach OF any
weapon known to the wild men OF New
Guinea. These tree-houses also serve for
lookouts from which To see coming friends
or enemies in time TO prepare a suitable
reception for either
There are several good reasons for
building houses SO far above the ground
besides those already given. One is that
they are not reached by the low-lying
bad air that in this country causes fevers
ana sickness: another, that they are free
from ants and mosquitoes two terrible
plaques throughout New Guinea: and
still another is that the breeze that
gently rocks the house like a birds nest
in the tree tops is much pleasanter and
more refreshing tEan the suitry heats
below.
If you should climb the long ladder and
peep in at the door, you would find the
family perhaps all asleep or sitting
about on the floor eating yams. cocoa
nuts, or bananas, and sharing them with
their pet pigs, parrots. or poultry. You
would find there no pictures toys, or
playthings, such as even the .Oorest chill
dren amongst us possess. no music and no
books, no furniture in the room not even
a bed, and no mats on the floor
Many a tree-built nest is constructed
with more art and is more comfortable
for the little ones who are born in it, and
is far prettier than the rude huts of the
wild men OF New Guinea.
