POLlTENESS IN JAPAN.
Even "Gfving Notice" Is Made an Oc-
casiou of Compliments.

Even "Giving Notice" Is Made an Oc-
casion of Compliments.
Politeness distinguishes the relations
between mistresses and maids in ia
pan. 1t is so inexorable in Japan that
even the ceremony Of giving notice"
is turned into an occasion Of compu-
ments There are no vulgar threats
or sulkings or recrimina tions or scold-
ings or answering back" A servant
will never tell her mistress that she is
dissatisfied or has had some better
place offered her. That would be un-
pardonably rude. Instead she asks
for few days leave of absence. This
is willingly granted, for Japanese serv-
ants have no settled time for taking
holidays.
At the end of the given time the mis-
tress will begin to wonder what has be-
come of the girl She is not left to
wonder long. A letter arrives couched
In the most polite and humble terms
and giving any excuse but the real one
Sometimes it will be that she has
found herself too weak for service or
that illness at home detains her What
ever II uldy De, lne plei ID hefti tOh-
tested but accepted as final and a new
servant engaged. Then, after some
weeks have passed, very likely after
taking a fresh place, the old servant
will turn up one day, express her
thanks for past kindnesses and regrets
at not returning in time, will take her
arrears of wages and her bundles and
disappear forever. So the matter ends
with the kindest semblance Of feeling
on both sides.
If the mistress on her part does not
wish to have the girl back, she will not
tell her SO to her face, but will send
word Even when servants come on
trial for a few days they often leave
nominally to fetch their belongings or
make arrangements for their return,
never because they have any com
plants" to make. Any discomfort is
to be endured rather than the suspi-
cion of bad manners or of anything
leading up to "scene."

POULTRY POINTERS.

When chickens grow very fast, it
sometimes causes leg weakness.
Under usual conditions variety of
food is better than any medicine that
can be given.
The only safe way of disposing of
dead fowls that have died of any con-
tagious disease Is to burn them.
Glover contains two elements that
are in demand by the hens-nitrogen
and lime 1t is rich in the elements
required for the whites of eggs.
When roup gets into a flock, 1t inva-
riably leaves some ailment behind.
The fowl that has been subject to it is
seldom healthy again.
There is no cure for feather pulling
except by more labor and time than an
ordinary flock is worth. The best plan
is to get rid of the guilty fowls as soon
as possible.
A hen seldom begins to eat eggshells
until she finds one broken or until she
becomes accustomed to eating eggs
thrown out into the yard. The safest
plan is always to crumble them up fine
before feeding.

Tanning the Cheetah In India.

The cheetah is tied in all directions
principally from a thick grummet Of
rope around his loins, while a hood
fitted over his head effectually blinds
him. He is fastened on strong cot
bedstead, and the keepers and their
wives and families reduce him to sub
mission by starving him and keeping
him awake. His head is made to face
the village street, and for an hour at
time several times a day his keepers
make pretended rushes at him and
wave cloths, slaves and other articles
In his face. He is talked to continually,
and women's tongues are believed to
be the most effective antisoporifics. No
created being could resist the effects of
hunger, want of sleep and feminine
scolding, and the poor cheetah becomes
piteously, abjectly tame.-"Beast and

HEAT IN THE OVEN,
How the Bakers Determine 1t by thS
Mere Touch of the Hand.

How the Bakers Determine 1t by thN
Mere Touch of the Hand.
"Bakers have curious way Of tell
ing just what the temperature of the
oven is" said baker who has been in
the business for more than a quarter
Of century, "and they can tell, too,
with almost marvellous accuracy. You
take man who is an expert in the
business, and he can tell what the tenn
perature of the oven is by simply
touching the handle of the oven door.
In nine cases out of ten he will not
miss it to the fraction of a degree
Bakers have other ways, of course, of
testing the heat of the oven. For in
stance, when baking bread they some
times throw piece of white paper in
to the oven, and If 1t turns brown the
oven is at the proper temperature, or,
when baking other things, they will
throw little cornmeal flour into the
oven In order to test the heat But
the bakers fingers are the best gauge,
and when you come to think of the diff
ferent temperatures required in bak-
ing different things it Is no small
achievement to even approximate the
heat of the oven by touching the ham
die of the oven door.
Bakers figure that during the rising
time of loaf of bread, after it has
been placed in the oven, it ought to be
In temperature of rs degrees f. Dur
ing the baking process, in order to cook
the starch, expand the carbonic acid
gas, air and steam and drive off the al
cohol, the inside of the loaf must reg
lister at least 220 degrees. In baking
rolls, buns, scones, tea biscuits, drop
cakes, fancy cakes, New York cakes,
mullins, puff cakes and things of that
sort the oven must show heat of 45O
degrees or higher. When the oven Is
at 400 degrees, 1t is fit for cream puffs,
sugar cakes, queen cakes, rock cakes,
jumbles, lady fingers, rough and ready
and jelly rolls. At $50 degrees wine
cakes, cup cakes, ginger nuts and
snaps, pies, gingerbread, spice cakes,
such as raisin, currant, citron, pound,
bride and so on, may be baked. 1t
requires still lower temperature to
bake wedding cakes, kisses, anise drops
and things In this class. But, what
ever temperature the old baker wants,
he can tell when he has it by simply
touching the handle of the oven door,"

STAGECOACH DAYS.
Story of n Trip From Portsmouth to
London In 1850.


There are men and wonderland they
are not always the old-who deplore
the breathless pace of the age. In
stagecoach days, they tell us, life was
different thing. People journeyed
through the years leisurely then; ex-
istence had flavor. A century ago a
journey meant fellowship and merry
adventures and comfortable enjoy
ment of the beauties of the landscape.
All this may be so, but a traveller
who made the journey from Ports
mouth to London in 1880 shows that
even stagecoach days had their shad-
ows.
1.-The getting up On the coach alone
was at the risk of ones life," he wrote,
land when l was up l had nothing to
hold on to except little handle at the
side. The moment we set off thought
l saw certain death before me. The
machine rolled with tremendous rapid
ity over the stones and eveI0 minute
seemed to fly In the air, so that 1t ap-
peared to me complete miracle that
we stuck to the coach at all.
"This continual fear of death at last
became tnsupportable to me, and 1
carefully crept along the top Of the
coach and ensconced myself in the
basket behind.
"On sudden the coach proceeded at
a rapid rate down hill. All the boxes,
iron nailed and copper fastened, began
to dance around me, and every moment
l received such violent blows that
thought my last hour had come. Shak-
en- to pieces, bleeding and sore, l crept
back to my former position. And 1t
rained incessantly, and as before we
were covered with dust so now we
We're soaked with rain.
my neighbor every now and then
fell asleep and when In this state per-
petually rolled and jolted against me
with the whole weight of his body,
more than once nearly pushing me
from the seat to which l clung with
the last strength of despair. l looked
and certainly felt like crazy fool
when | arrived in London"
The letter is realistic. 1t is possible
that twentieth century travelling, al
though unromantic, has its compensa
tions after all.-Youth's Companion.

GREElEY'S REVENGE.
Outcome of the Editors TIT With
Elizabeth Cady stanton.


The late Elizabeth Cady Stanton was
particularly apt at retort, and one of
her swift parties of thrust delivered
by Horace Greeley against her favorite
doctrine of woman suffrage is historic.
MADAM" said Horace one day dur
ing the civil war, "the ballot and the
bullet go together. If you want to
vote, are you ready to fightT
Certainly, SIR" she responded. II
am ready to fight just as you are fight
ing through a substitute"
Notwithstanding their differences of
opinion, Mrs. Stanton and Greeley
were personally friendly until the New
York constitutional convention of 1868.
A woman suffrage clause was strenu-
ously pressed upon that body and as
vigorously opposed by Mr.. Greeley.
One day, after the Tribune editor had
made some particularly rasping re-
marks upon the subject, George VIII
liam Curtis rose and said:
81 have the honor, Mr.. Chairman, to
present petition in favor of the wom-
an suffrage amendment signed by Mrs.
Horace Greeley and 800 other ladies'"
Greeley was furious and rightly as.
cribed the appearance Of the memorial
at that moment to Mrs. Stanton.
"Why did you not put my wife's
maiden name on that petition and call
her Mary Cheney Greeley?" he de-
manded the next time they met.
Because said Mrs. Stanton, II
wanted all the world to know that
Horace Greeley's wife protested against
her husbands report on the suffrage
amendment"
"All right" retorted the editor. Here
after you shall always be spoken of in
the Tribune as Mrs. Henry B. Stan
ton." And so it was to the time of her
death, although the name Of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton was known to hundreds
of thousands who could not identify
the woman by the appellation under
which the Tribune, for revenge, tried
to obscure her fame.-Pilgrim.
