The Japanese Laborer's Pay and Food.
The Japanese laborer rarely pays
more than one dollar month for
his house rent, and seyenty-hye cents
is a common rate OF course the
house is small, seldom containing
more than three rooms. but it gener-
ally has a little garden spot. The
people do not use stoves, and have
only braziers, which keep their hands
warm.
All the ordinary food Of the Japan
ese is very cheap. with the exception
Of rice. The general food, other than
rice, consists Of sweet potatoes, tur-
nips, radishes and beans Their
style Of living is simple, but not un-
comfortable.
They pay about two cents a pound
for brown sugar, and nearly double
that price for the best white sugar.
For tea Of a medium quality they pay
from seven to eight cents a pound; for
rice, about eighty-fye cents a bushel:
for barley, about thirty-one cents
bushel for wheat, little over fifty
five cents bushel for peas or beans,
sixty cents a bushol. aud for Japanese
tea they pay little less than ten
cents a pound. d.-Youth's Companion.

The originators Of women fashions
have puzzled their heads for a long
time how to give women a watch pocket
that will be perfectly safe and yet not
be disfguring to the fit or cut Of a
bodice.
OF course, the tailor-built woman
could have a fiat pocket hidden under
the lapel Of her coat, where her watch
would be perfectly safe, but the pa
troness of a more feminine style Of
dress really had no place where she
could stow away her watch with COM
fort and safety, aud, therefore, she
generally resorted to the plan of
fastening it TO her bodice with
special kind Of brooch, where it was
liable 10 be snatched off by a thief at
any time
After much puzzling Of brains a
novel pocket has been devised which
is worn on the left sleeve aud can be
easily reached by the right hand.
From the front Of the pocket a circu-
lar piece is cut, through which one
can conveniently see the watch. The
flap Of the pocket is padded with soft
material so that there is practically
no danger OF breaking the watch.
Many designs for Identifying the
pocket are noticed. In many cases
the rim Of the circle through which
the dial shows is richly embroidered
with gold OF silver thread.
The watch Is slippedinto the pocket
from the side, aud buttons keep It
from falling out. Washington Star.
