THE JAPANESE HOME.
Is Built to Withstand Earthquakes
and is Attractive In Appearance.

anu ~ hppeuEahces
From st. Nicholas
In their dwellings shelter from the rain.
shade from the sun and free circulation of
air are mainly sought by the Japanese,
who as rule, seem to be able to endure
much cold. Even on winter days their
houses a.e seen entirely open to the morn
ing sun, and in this respect they set good
example to their western brethren. Then.
too. these houses must be such as will not
be readily shaken to the ground in an
earthquake, for Japan is land of earth
Quakes.
For security against this danger the house
is put together in a very simple way. All
parts OF the structure are held together,
one author says, by a system of "dovetail-
ing" neither nails nor screws being used in
their production, except for ornament. 1t
is not made fast to the ground, but stands
upon wooden legs or columns, which are
merely placed upon stones high enough to
keep the ends out of the water. Then when
an earthquake occurs the building moves to
and fro, and settles down again after the
vibration has ceased. 1t Is believed that
most of the damage from earthquakes in
Japanese cities has occurred with houses
having tiled roofs, as the tiles are easily
shaken loose, and, being heavy, cause de-
struction in their fall. Buildings with roofs
of wood or thatch generally escape dam
age, --.,f-- ..-
1t is thought that the use of tiled roofs
arose from tue dread of fire. Although
many roofs are made of stone tiles, the ma
jority are of wood, bamboo thatch
Thatch is much used in the poorer villages,
but even temples as well dwellings have
been known TO be thatched. On the ridge
of this; matched roof the iris is frequently
planted, and when in bio om it's dark, vel
vety purple blossoms and light green leaves
give the house a picturesque appearance
Seen from distance, the village looks as if
there We're little gardens on the tops of the
houses
Most dwellings are but one story high
When the roof and framework are made it
remains TO arrange for the outside walls
and the partitions of the rooms Most for
eigners regard the outside walls as huge
windows, for they are merely light wooden
latticework frames covered with a stiff,

 "The Press and the people have had much to say about the gallant exploit of Lieutenant Hobson in Santiago Bay.

The County Seat Fight Is on.

A numbe of citizens of Green Forest and vicinity held a meeting Saturday afternoon for the pur- pose ot taking the initiatory steps toward county seat campaign. It was decided that mass meet ing be called for October 15 to meet in Green Forest at 10 o'clock on sai d day for the purpose of in. augerating a plan to raise the S5,000 bonus as required by law before a county seat election can be had. It.is hoped that every person interested in this question will attend this meeting Water seeks it's level and as surely will the county seat come to Green For. est. With two courts in the county it is not justice that they both be in one end of the county-espec- tally in the end containing the smallest number of inhabitants.
 Wake up, ye people, who wish to srA change in the county seat from Berryvi to Green Forest. The time has now come to act. Green Forest is the coming town and will warm things in the collar when 1t comes 10 a county seat election. Remember the day to submit the plans to put the ball in motion is Saturday, October l5, 1898.

KILLED TWO MISSIONARIES
Misses Simmons and Allen Lost Their Lives
in Yokohama Harbor.
Their Launch CoIIided With a Junk
and One Lady Suffered
Frightful Death.

VICTORIA, B. c., August 12.-The steam
er Victoria ha4just arrived from the orient,
bringing news of frightful accident in
Yokohama harbor, whereby two lady mis-
sionaries of the American mission board,
Misses Simmons and Allen, lost their lives.
The two ladies had number of friends
who were journeying to this side of the
Pacific by the Empress of Japan and they
Went out in launch to see them Off The
farewells being said, the two ladies were
going ashore in the launch, when junk
which was sailing into the harbor, running
swiftly before the wind, collided with the
launch.
The junk's bowsprit was driven against
Miss Simmons with terrific force. 1t i'm
paled her, killing her instantly. Her COM
panion, Miss Allen, was struck about the
shoulders and head by the unwieldy bow
of the Chinese vessel and she was terribly
cut and lacerated. She fingered in pain for
the greater part of day in the Yokohama
hospital and died on July 80, few hours
before the Victoria sailed.
