POSTAL CONFERENCE.

In order to commemorate in some
way the advance made by Japan in
postal matters during the last thirty
years, the chiefs of postoffices and f
other localities came up to the capi-
tai and are now holding conferences
at the premises of the Kotsugaku-
kwan, at Sanjikken-bori, Kyobashi,
with the object of giving some prac-
teal shape to the scheme.
As a first step towards the inn
provement of postal affairs, the com
munications office has made public
request for the best adapted design
of letter receiving box and an alarm
bell in order to insure prompt deliv-
cry of letters. For the best adapted
box most suitable to houses in Japa-
nese style, combined with the mini
mum outlay, the designer will receive
prize of 100 ven in the first class.
80 yen in the second and 30 yen in the

ton with single bell the above prizes
will be doubled. Designs should he

BUDGET DEFICIT.

The government estimates for the
current year will produce a deficit of
about fourteen million yen. In order
to procure a fund to meet this def
cit. the government introduced bill
of law for special appropriation of the
indemnity, but as the diet was dis
solved before it had time to discuss
it, the measure devised by the govern
ment for the purpose is unavailing.
Under the circumstances, either the
government should forbare making
disbursements, or ask post-facto APP
proval of the diet in its next session.

STRIKE AT A SHRINE.

On the 21st twenty-five musicians
and attendants belonging to Toshogu
Shrine, Nikko, went on a strike, on
the preteXt that they could not attend
to their daily duties on account of
the great fatigue. The cause of the
strike was partly due to the abuse
by the chief officials who have been
in the habit of retaining for them
selves nearly all the shrine offerings,
and partly TO the refusal of a claim
for an increase of salaries. Mr.. Ma
kayama, chief director of the shrine,
endeavored to induce the strikers to
resume their duties, but did not sue
ceed The services at the shrine are
Just now therefore much curtailed of
their impressive effect.

FACTORY INSPECTORS REPORT.

Soldiers Uniforms Manu- fRctured in
Unsanitary Places Caused Sickness.
Harrisburg, Dec. 6.-Factory Inspec-
tor James Campbell has transmitted to
Governor Hastings the annual report
of the factory department for the fiscal
year ended Oct. 80 last. The inspector
says the factory laws amended by the
last legislature have proved beneficial
and justified their enactment. He rec
ommends that the department be en-
powered to enforce the fire escape law
in respect to hotels, opera houses and
public halls, and that the sweat shop"
law be AMENDED to give the depart
meat power TO confiscate goods made
In unlawful and unhealthy places, and
dispose Of them In such a manner as
would best protect the public health.
Mt. Campbell thinks some Of the sick
ness In the army during the war with
Spain came from uniforms manufac-
tured in unsanitary places containing
germs Of disease. He says the bake
shop" law enacted by the last gen.
eral assembly has been a blessing to
those who laSbr In bakeries and to the
public at large.

Education in Finland.

Consul Smith at Moscow has made a
report to the State Department in re-
gard to the education of children In
Finland. About SO per cent. of the
population in Finland" he says, can
read and write. There are 1,4OO
schools, supported in part by the Gov
eminent; 21 Of these are intermediate
schools. Each Of the 466 districts has
an inspector. besides a board of direc-
tors. Children commence school at
the age Of 10; from z to 10 they receive
instruction at home from the parish
priest. Co-education has been most
successful in these schools. In Fin
land women share in all industries, and
are especially capable as teachers
Both men and women teachers receive
careful instruction and preparation.
They are treated with the greatest def
erence, nor are their duties confined to
the schoolroom; they exercise super
vision over the selection of books for
home reading, and during the summer
vacations they accompany the children
on excursions, giving them lessons
from nature"

Ant Baths for Rheumsti,m.

The taking of ant baths for rheuma-
tism by Russian peasants has been
long and successfully practiced, espe-
cially by those In the vicinity of Mos
COW. An ant hill being found, a sack
Is filled with ants and their eggs, and.
II 1t be considered necessary, a GER
tain quantity Of the earth which COM
poses the hill. The sack is then
closed Theoretically and carried to the
home of the sufferer, where a warm
bath being already prepared, the sack
is plunged bodily into the hot water.
In short time there begins to be
given off peculiar pungent odor char
acteristic of formic acid, and the bath
is now ready for the patients INNER
sion. The action of the bath on the
patients skin is described as one of
intense irritation, the result seeming
to be drawing out of the evil and
the consequent disappearance of the
rheumatic pains. Care Is necessary in,
resorting to this remedy to avoid re-
naming too long in the bath, as the
consequences might be a total disor-
ganization of the skin, which would
peel off, owing to the violent action of
the acid.-London Post,

RosARIes OF THE ORIENT.



Favorits Beads Of the Japsnsss, Chinsses
,.l 49,, -a.d RaAdhssss.
The prevailing idea In regard to
rosary is that It belongs solely to fol-
lowers Of the Catholic religion. But
tske away the cross that Is hanging to
u, beads and we and that one must
turn to the dim, mysterious East for
the origin Of the rosary, for it is among
the temples Of India, China and Japan
that the first sign OF the practice is to
be found. Ancient pictures of the Hin
doc gods depict them with chaplets of
beads In their hands, and 1t Is believed
that this method Of keeping count of
their many prayers was in use among
the Hindoos before the era of Buddha,
or at least B. c. 500.
The use of the rosary seems especial
ly suited to an Eastern cline and to
the repose of an Oriental mind. The
Buddhists are fond Of using very
smooth beads Of glass. polished jade or
coral, and 1t has been thought that the
smooth, cool beads gliding through
their fingers as they murmur the holy
name for thousands Of times help them
to arrive at that state Of holy abstrac-
tton from earthly things which is so
much priced among the followers Of
Buddha.
The favorite Japanese rosaries are
made Of polished wood, crystal. onyx
and chased silver, and the Japanese
Buddhists repeat in endless devotion
"Numa Amida Butzu" ("Save us,
Buddha"), while their Chinese brothers
have the blessed name "O-Mi-to-fu"
forever on their lips. A rosary Of very
Great size was recently brought from q
temple in Kioto, Japan. The largest
bead is about six inches in diameter,
and the rosary entire is about twenty
four feet long. The huge beads are of
dark brown polished wood. They are
hollow and have each a figure of god
inside the little shrine, which can be
seen through lattice Of brasswork.

To InJupe Sleeu.

With the best will in the world to
take sleep 1t is often impossible to lose
consciousness. Sleep attained by the
use of drugs is of little value, but a
drowsy state may often be induced by
drinking cup Of hot chocolate, milk
broth or cruel Immediately upon going
to bed at night. A hot bath before re-
firing also has sedative effect, as it
draws the blood from the brain.
