BIRTHDAYS IN JAPAN.
Singular Thing About Them Ia Every
Boy Ia Supposed to He Born
ON March 3.

With the exception of the emperor
there are no individual birthdays in de-
lightfully interesting Japan. The peo-
pie, however, make up for this neglect by
having sort of general birthday Of
everybody in common, which is cele-
brated with great rejoicing
There are two of these general holt
days, one for each sex. The male birth
day which is known as the celebration
of the boys" occurs on the third day of
the third month and the fifth day of the
fifth month These days are generally
put aside and boys and girls respectively
receive presents according to their sta
tion.
The birthday Of the emperor, or Ten-o,
as he is more properly styled, is also
general holiday for the Japanese every
where. The houses are all decorated
with flags, and in the evening the streets
are gay with the lights of innumerable
colored lanterns In the morning the
highest authorities go to the palace and
offer their congratulations in person and
the lower degrees offer them vicariously
to their superiors. All the Japanese
would, somehow or other, congratulate
their monarch on having added another
year to his age.

SEX THAT EATS PICKLES.
Women I'm Restaurants Consume
Twice as Many of Them
as Men Do.

Il always thought" said a waiter
according to the Chicago Chronicle,
that the stories about women being
such great pickle eaters were just
jokes told by people who thought they
were funny; but one of my first ex-
periences as waiter taught me in a
very simple manner that the stories
Were true.
This was in restaurant where we
had many women customers, one side
of the restaurant being for men, and
the other side for women. On the
women's side we used to have to FIJI
up the pickle jars that stood on the
tables every day, while the jars on the
men'c side had to be filed only once
in two days.
so here. you see, the women reg
Elarly ate about twice as many
pickles as the men did; and l should
say that that is just about what they
always do, everywhere"

Like leaves on the gust, go by;
And a dash OF rain
Strikes the window pane
Like tears from The heavy sky.
Tall trees wind-biown
Writhe round and groan.

In tortured toss

And their tops with the grasses blend.
From caverns far
Where northwinds are
The god Of the storm comes forth;
On his far-fiung breath
Rides shrieking death.
And its mantle is over earth.
Huge pillows rise
Where the ocean lies
Till the heavens are wassssd in brine;
Mems souls go out
In the tempest's rout,
And wild beasts crouch and whine.

Nearly all of the metal working plants
in Pittsburg and vicinity are admirably
equipped with a hospital annex for cases
that require speedy and prompt atten-
ton. The distance of hospitals from
some Of the works renders 1t possible
that an injured man is liable to expire
from exhaustion before he is admitted
to the institution. To obviate this the
owners have fitted up room or building
where injured and sick employees can be
treated at once.

The Crow That Wears n FOOLS Cap.
The following clever way of keeping
crows away from grainfield is used
by the farmer of IIolland:
He makes some small caps of stout
paper and slnears around the inner side
Of the mouth of each some bird lime or
other sticky stuff. In these he puts
some grains of corn and stands them
about his fields by pressing their points
into soft earth.
When the crow finds one Of these
paper caps, he thinks himself In great
luck until he attempts to peck Mt the
tempting grain, when, to his astonish-
ment, he finds the cap attached to his
head-a regular fools cap-which will
not even allow him to see what course
to take If he flies up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass or bushes and after
much bewildered scrambling and flop
ping about gets his head out Of this un.
desirable cap and ever afterward
avoids the field where there are more
of them.
