in June aud continues through July and
August, and the hot summer sun beats
down upon the fields and the heat and
the rank odors of the swamp, laden
with fever and malaria, are more than
the average white man can endure.
The Orientals, however, keep healthy,
as rule, and do not seem to much
mind the heat.
In a week or so after the plants have
been set, the laborers go through the
patch and press the dirt around the
plants in such manner as to cause
the stalks to grow uprightly and close
together. This process issrepented two
or three times and then the bankers

demanded the lnquisitor.
No one could remember, although Just
why waiter should not be seen with
glasses as well as any other man was
not apparent.
ITS just like the wearing of Boards"
went on the inquisitor. "The proprie-
tors of our important hotels, restau-
rants and cafes Will not permit either
boards or glasses to be worn by their
walters. 1t is possible that In some old
fashioned family or commercial hotel
the seryitors may be found with their
noses straddled by optical helps, but
you won't find 'em along Broadway.
Now, this is a fact worthy of note,
because in every other calling in life
the number of persons wearing glasses
is on the increase, and even in our
schools a considerable percentage of
very small children will be found wear.
