structures of memorial art which pos
terity may plan as occasions arise, the
general scheme to be harmonious and
effective.
Two chief points are to be borne in
mind in appraising the work of the
park commission. 1t was instrumen-
tai in securing an ideal solution of the
railroad problem to give Washington
a monumental union station in a place
where it will blend with the other
great public improvements, and it has
established the principle of meantain-
ing artistic as well as a practical rela-
tionship between the architectural and
the landscape features of the capital.
The new plan, modernizing and sup
plementing the original project of
L'Enfant, will become the guide to all
future improvements. By adopting
this scheme now, leaving its compo-
nents to be worked out in detail as
necessities and opportunities arise,
congress will demonstrate it's foresight
and its wisdom as well as it's intelli-
gent pride in the national capital

Admitting that it becomes argu-
tentatively impossible to eat a cut
let, humanity may still be saved from
the extremes of vegetarian diet. A
French entomologist, NJ. Dagin. has
discovered q halfway house, which
ne cordially recommends in the shape
Of insect food. He speaks on the
subject with authority, having tasted
geveral hundred species of raw, boiled,
tried, broiled, roasted and hashed in
sects." Regarding spiders as side
dish, he finds two they
are not insects, and they live on ami
NAL food" NJ. Dagin's recipe for cock
roach soup is as follows: Pound
your cockroaches in a mortar; put in a
sieve and pour in boiling water or beef
stock. Connoisseurs prefer this to real
bisque." The perfect insect, he con-
tinues, in most appetizing style, may
be shelled and eaten like a shrimp.
Caterpillars are pronounced light
food, of easy digestion. and may be
eaten out of the hand" raw if pre-
ferred But the most popular insect
food of all is locust flour, which the
Bedouins take boiled in milk or fried
and served with rice. We remember a
certain "Garibaldi biscuit" which al
ways suggested an inside layer OF
eCuashed flies.

His Miraculous Escape.

For four days and four nights in the
depths of the earth, wandering in abso-
lutte darkness through winding gorges,
crawling on hands and knees through
Shiny passages in the jagged rocks,
halting at times on the brink of awful
precipices, growing faint from hunger
and almost crazy from hardships
which he was forced to endure-these
are few of the experiences that befell
Capt Caleb Johnson, a Mississippi
river pilot, when he attempted recent
ly TO explore the mysteries OF Dead
Mans cave at St. Genevieve. just
across the river from Red Bud, Ill.
But with all of Capt. Johnson's eX-
periences the cave remains as much a
mystery as ever, for he was without
light for most of the way, and has no
idea to-day hC-' far on where he wan
dered He only knows that he entered
the cave in Simms' hollow, on the bank
of the river. on Monday morning. and
that on Thursday afternoon a farmer
found him in a sinkhole on his farm
four miles from the entrance. Nothing
was, therefore, accomplished, save,
perhaps, to take away the superstition
that no one could go into the cave and
come out alive.

SERVANTS IN GERMANY.
Their Let is Not Happy One-PooT

statistics about the condition of their
class in Germany. Wages in Germany
We're always low. Then these women
have no rights; their employees may
do pretty well what they please. If
a girl leaves her place before the time
specified she risks a fine; if she re-
fuses a place after having accepted
it, she is liable to be fined, and, per.
haps, get five days imprisonment.
Few of the servants have room to

wherein the bath room, the passage,
or in the kitchen. Others inhabit gar
rets where the roof slopes so that
they cannot stand upright. Sometimes

places the sleeping apartments can
only be reached by a ladder. Occa-
sionally two or more sleep in the
same room, which is also used for the
storing of old things, lumber, dirty
linen, etc. Certainly. the condition
of servants in the United States con-
trasts very favorably with those of
Germany; in addition, the hours OF
work are less, and no judge would
dare reply as Prussian did to a

FARMING IN JAPAN.
Crude Implements still Used in Cslti-
Vating the Soil

rating the SoiL
IWenty-seven hundred Sears before
Christ the Emperor of China intro
duced system of agriculture into his
country. The soil had always been
cultivated in an inferior way,
but this enterprising ruler saw
the need of other methods, and
made every effort 70 enforce their
general adoption. In order to
impress the matter upon the peas
ants he plowed a small plot of land
and sowed it with the five most i'm
portant cereals. For this he was de-
fed after his death and made god of
the crops. For more than 1000 years
the rulers of the empire have followed
his example in the matter of plowing
and sowing.
When these new modes of cultiva-
tion had been well established, and
every hillside and valley were smiling
ready for harvest the islands of Japan
became known to China and they sent
their missionary priest over to this
country. They took with them the
entire civilization of China-their arts,
sciences, philosophy, industries, and
among the later their well-tested
methods of enriching the soil.
The Japanese farmer had many dis
advantages that made the process of
better cultivation very difficult. The
entire country is of volcanic forma-
tion, and only one-twelfth of the lanl
is sufficiently fiat to admit of farming
Added to this the soil itself is natu-
Hally of very poor quality and re-
quires special treatment both by ways
of enriching and irrigation. The great
est advantage of the farmer is the
fact that he has divided the land into
very small sections. Perhaps it
would be more accurate 10 say that
extreme poverty makes it impossible
for a farmer to possess more than a
good-sized potato patch. At any rate,
the smallness of the farms has it's
advantages, and the toll of the farmer
of today is not to be mentioned when
compared with that of his ancestors,
who took the virgin soil in all it's pow
erty and lavished no end of energy
and strength to bring it up to its pres
ent producing capacity. Yes, the
farmer of today has entered into a
rich heritage of hills already terraced
and plains finely irrigated, represent
ing the patient, steady toll of many
centuries.
The first turning of the soil on
well-conducted plot is done by crule
plow harnessel to a bullock or horse,
usually the former. A crooked piece
of wood forms the central feature of
this ancient structure. To one end is
attached sharp blade, and TO the
other a crossbeam, used for the double
purpose of lettering the bullock,
which is harnessed with indescribable
rope trappings, and also furnishing
means by which the farmer may guide
the plow After this sort of plowing
the soil is loosened by long handled
spade and the process of planting be-
gins.
The crude manner Of the prepara-
tion of the soil is of little moment
when compared with the harvesting.
The sickle is scarcely larger than a
curved b1eadknife, and upon this the
farmer depends for gathering every
thing that is not Spring
