WOMEN AS STEVEDORES.
Barges at NagasaH Are Not Handled
By Male Workers.

The town OF Nagasaki is even
sleeper than Hakodate; the streets
going up from the water are almost
steps. writes Anna c. Hartshorne, in
The Chautauquan. for August Near
1y at the top there is a temple with a
huge bronze tori in front OF it. and
curious bronze horse in the court
yard. Still higher up. but belonging
to the temple. there is grove Of
great camphor trees. with immense
trunks and thick spreading branches,
making a dense shade. The dark
glossy leaves when bruised smell
strongly of camphor. Under the
branches you look almost down on
the harbor, where there is nearly al
ways some big steamer coaling. The
coal comes from this part Of Kyushiu,
and is softer and more smoky than
the northern coal. 1t is startling to
see the barges come alongside and
discover that the stevedores are wo-
men! Men handle the boat and do
the shoveling, but women and girls
pass up the fat baskets from one to
another till the coal can be dumped
into the bunkers. They are dressed
like the peasant women who work
in the fields, in dark cotton trousers
and leggings, and straw waraji or
sandals. the skirts of their kimonos
tucked almost to the knees; blue
and white cotton handkerchief covers
the head-at least it is usually white
when they come on, but not when
they have finished. A few years
ago the wage for this work was II
sen a day; now it has gone up to 80
or even 50.

Imported Glands.

The introduction of Glands into this
country is likely to be attempted be-
fore long, the Department OF Agri-
culture having given its approval to
the idea, All that is needed is mon
ey which Congress will be asked to
give. The animals which are the
largest of all antelopes, would be very
valuable in the desert regions Of the
Southwest as a source OF meat sup
ply. They require almost no water,
are accustomed to forage for them
selves and are quite tractable.
The e1and is nearly six feet nigh at
the shoulder when full grown and
weighs 1900 pounds. 1t is not par
ticularly swift (unlike most of its
congeners), and man can sometimes
overtake it By running. It's flesh is
considered delicacy. Commonly it
browses in herds in the waterless
deserts of South Africa. to which it
is a native, its ability to get along for
months together without water being
a mystery. To some extent doubt
less, it depends upon moisture derlv-
ed from succulent plants, such as the
wild watermelon.
There are two varieties 0: eland,
one being reddish in color, known as
the Livingston eland. striped. 1t IS
one of about 200 species O: antelopes
found in South Africa, where animals
of this genus seem to have undergone
the most extraordinary d:fferentla-
ton. Some OF them are the swiftest
runners OF all animals. and certain
kinds are so wild and wary that hum
tiers cannot possibly get within gun
shot of them unless by the help Of
what is known as an artificial ostrich
"a Hottenot contrivance. consisting
of the skin of an ostrich arranged to
disguise a man, who holds the sup
posed bird aloft by means OF a stick
thrust through the neck.
Glands are becoming scarce in
South Africa. Though they seem to
be the most desirable species for I'M
portation into this country, there are
others which might be valuable-no-
tably the spingbok, which is grace
full creature less than three feet in
height, of beautiful fawn color; a
prolific breeder and suited to the con-
ditions, climatic and otherwise, Of the
arid regions OF Arizona. New Mexico

A Russian Incident.
New York Post,

New York Post.
A young Russian Jew was obliged
to go to the war in Manchuria. At
first his father got letters from him
regularly, but presently they ceased.
One DAY the father was called to the
police headquarters, where he was
told there was a telegram regarding
his son. but that he would h;.> to
pay 20 rubles to get it. He cd not
have the money. and it took him some
time to collect it from his friends.
When he finally opened the telegram
it contained the announcement Of his
sons death.

Golf Balls and Cables.
The use of gutta percha for sub
marine cables and golf balls makes
constant drains on the supply of this
material, and substitutes are being
constantly sought after. In construc-
ting a cable the gutta percha is en-
ployed to insulate the conducting
wire from the exterior metal sheath.
and, though lately rubber has been
employed for this purpose on some
shorter lines, yet for long ocean lines
the gutta percha is considered essen
tial. Recently the German telegraph
department has made a thorough test
of some cables into whose construc-
ton an artificial gutta percha enters.
This material is the invention OF
Adolf Gentzsch, of Vienna, and is a
mixture of india rubber and palm
wax whose melting point is the same
as that of rubber. The electrical
properties of the compound are equal
to this of gutta percha, and the spec
ihcatians Of the contract with the
German government were more than
satisfied in actual tests. The cost Of
the artificial gutta percha cables is
about s. per cent. less than the ordi-
nary cable.

On account OF the nlthy conditions
which were found TO exist in the cheap
lodging houses, and at the suggestion of
DR. Chaplin. the superintendent ot health.
an ordinance was passed a few months
ago requiring the proprtetors OF those

They were required 20 place waterproof
coverings over the mattresses, 10 provide
decent lavatories. fumigate 20 Kill insect
life and TO forbid any lodger retiring IN
his street garb.
since that ordinance went into effect
the police have had occasion TO visit the
lodging houses sometimes on account Of
sudden deaths, natural and suicidal.
sometimes because OF the illness OF
