JAPANESE HOMES.
There Are No Doors or Passages In
a Typical Dwelling.

There Are No Doors or Passages In
a Typical Dwelling.
The japanese house consists in the
main Of post at each corner and a
roof. The roof may or may not be COW
cred with heavy channeled purplish
tiles. It makes little difference in the
long run whether it is or is not, for II
it is not tiled the first typhoon that
comes along removes it into some
body's garden anything up to a quarter
of mile away, and if 1t is tiled heav-
lily enough to resist the typhoon so
much the worse for the people under
meath it when the first genuine earth
quake arrives But the odds are that it
will be burned down before either hap
pens. as the Japanese use very cheap
lamps and very fiery petroleum and
are regular children about fires. OF
course something else is done to the
four posts and the roof before they be-
come house in which births, mar
riages and deaths can take place. But
really remarkably little is necessary.
Crossbeams are naturally added 70
support the weight of the roof, grooves
are made in the crossbeams and in
the platform raised foot or two above
the ground which constitutes the floor
A Japanese house is all on one floor
generally-in fact, one might say it is
all one floor. Between the grooves in
the floor and the grooves in the cross
beams are run shutters with paper
panels to divide the houses into what
ever number of rooms the owner may
choose, which depends on the number
of bedrooms he may require There
are no doors or passages in a typical
Japanese house. In 1t every room acts
as a passage into the room beyond it,
and for the door you slide back the
panel that happens to be nearest to
you. For this sliding there are little
bronze sunk handles in the wooden
frames of the panels The outside pa
per shutters do not come quite to the
edge Of the platform floor; the grooves
along the edges are filed at night or in
severe weather with wooden shutters,
each of which is held in its place by
the one that follows it, the last one
being secured with a fiimsy wooden
bolt.

TWO TON BLACKLIST.
A school That Was Driven Ashore
at Cape Cod.

A School That Was Driven Ashore
at Cape Cod.
One day in November, several years
ago. the good people living on the
Massachusetts bay shore at the north
( end of Cape Cod were wrought to the
highest pitch of excitement by the ar
rival of an immense school of black
fish which were on the flats chasing
bait, as the small fish they feed on are
called, and gradually working inshore.
The news spread like wildfire VII
Iage stores were hastily closed, school
boys deserted schoolrooms, and even
women focked to the shore. The fats
along the coast make out from half to
a mile and half practically level and
almost dry at low tide where at high
tide is four to eight feet of water. No
school of blaclzfish so large as this had
ever been heard Of And by good luck
the tide was ebbing.
Hastily the boats were launched,
each taking half dozen men and
boys, those not rowing being armed
with sticks and pieces of board In a
quarter of an hour they were in posi-
ton in half circle and to leeward of
the fish.
''Close in now" came from the "com-
modore," aand make all the noise you
camp And they did, fairly churning
the water with boards and sticks. The
thousands of squid and herring on
which the blackfish were feeding as
sisted in this movement by getting in
to shoal water as far as possible so
that the blackfish could not follow
them. The result was inevitable. The
fast ebbing tide soon began to leave
the big fish in such shoal water that
it was difficult for the larger ones to
swim Gradually the circle of boats
drew nearer and nearer, and in two
hours 80 per cent Of the entire school
was stranded on the fats. For weeks
after the villagers were engaged in
cutting up and trying out the oil. The
total catch Melted some $4,000, many
Of the fish weighing two tons apiece.

A Pauper Artist.

In museum attached to two aims
houses at Kirkleatham, England, is a
wonderful carving Of st. George and

wood, the work of poor prisoner, and

this piece Of carving was the cause of
a wager being once laid in dispute

In the summer time children do so
much climbing and whiting of sticks
that they oftentimes get slivers in their
fingers, and If they are not at once re-
moved they will prove very painful. A
fine needle should be used to remove
slivers. If too deep in the flesh to be
reached by ordinary means fill a rather
wide mouthed bottle two-thirds full of
boiling water and hold the injured spot
close over the opening The suction
draws the flesh down, and little addi-
tional pressure will take out the splin-
ter.

him to have become entirely bald. One
