The Japanese Farmers Wife.

IL the lot of a Jlnanese farmer lie
hard. that Of his wife is infinitely hard
or. She not only does an equal amount
OF labor in the field but the care of the
household and the responsibility of the
children also rest upon her shoulders.
From earliest infancy. a Japanese
girl IL taught to be obedent to her
parents and when she is about to be
married her mother gives her thirteen
rules by which to steer her bark on the
rugged sea Of Japan ,se married life.
Among them are the following: BE
always kind to your niother-in-law and
sisters-in-law" Get Up early, stay uD
late at night and do not take a nap in
the daytime" Re a good housekcep-
or. be economical in everything" 1t is
well for the happiness of the girl who
IL ABOUT to become farmers wife that
the last two COmm1nGm' ntS have been
80 instilled that she is prepared to
regulate her life by them.
The first to rise, she il sure to be the
last to retire and when the male mem
bcrs Of the family may be seen
stretched on the floor taking their
siesta the patient housewife may be
laboring in the field. 1t is scarcely
necessary. however. to train her to be
economical for that is compulsory.
Before the farmer has awakened
from his heavy sleep his little wife
creeps from under the mosquito net
and performing hasty toilet. prepares
the morning meal. When the other
members Of the family arise. the beds
which are heavy quilts placed on the
floor. are carefully rolled up by the
busy housewife and placed in the closet
there to remain until again required.
As there Is so little furniture used In
n japanese house and especially in tina,
Of a peasant. one would naturally think
that the domestic duties would he very
light. Such, however. is not the case.
When the bedding has been removed
the meal is then served in the same room
All the members of the family squat on
the floor The millet or rice which is the
principal and oftentimeS only article of
she wife ladies 1t out. serves her husband
first and oftentimes waits until the
whole family has finished before she par
takes Of the food herself.
When the husband has gone to the field
The wife removes dishes and washes
them. together with any pots that may
have been used. at the neghborinS well or
in the stream that flows Just outside her
cottage door. These canals or streams are
n great labor-savinG institution in Japan
and are used for many and varied pur-
poses. The farmers tired and dirty after
his days work. refreshes and cleanses
himself by a plunge into the running wa
ter. As one travels through the country
Mt one point one may see a woman doing
the family washing in the stream FAR
Their down the road the tired. travel
stained pilgrim may be seen refreshing his
weary feet by having them in the same
water. At other points travellers slack
their thirst dusky urchins disport them
selves and the overworked wife cleanses
her dishes in 1t! The Pilgrim.

In a $1,000 damage suit filed yesterday
Dudley Hedges. the plaintiff. ascribes the
results of an assault to the effects of liquor

SAYS FARMER SHOULD GET
MORE AND DO MUCH LESS
Use of Improved Machinery and
All Labor-Saving Devices on
Indiana Farms Advocated.
NAMES FOR ALL HOMES

The Marion County Farmers Institute
which has been in session for two days at
Ben Davis closed its meetings last even
ing. The session yesterday was interesting
on account OF the speakers and the subjects
OF their papers. The first. How to Make
More Money by Less Labor" was by Mr..
T. ]. Indy. He advocated the adoption of
all labor-saving machinery in performing
the work on farms and in farmhouses. He
brought out the fact that the modern ap-
planes not only save labor, but they in
crease production and more than pay for
themselves. Mr.. Indy thought that all
farmers should follow the governmental
work of the government directed along the
lines of reducing work on the farms and
increasing production. Mrs oliver Kline.
of Huntington. thought that all farms
should be named. 1t was her opinion that
naming farms gave them Individuality Mr.
j. y. Nysewander. OF Ben Davis. gave a
talk on strawberry Culture as Suited TO
the Farmer" The closing feature OF the
institute was a school session by the public
school of Ben Davis as auxiliary to the
Farmers Institute.

URGE CULTIVATION OF
GROUNDS BY INMATES
Board Members Lay Plans for Va
can't Lot Gardens During the
Coming Summer.

The vacant-lot cultivation board held a
meeting in the rooms of the Charity Or
ganization yesterday morning, and plans
Were laid for carrying on the work during
the summer. 1t was decided that an effort
should be made to interest the managers
of the institutions having vacant ground
around their buildings. 1t was thought by
the cultivation of this ground much good
might result to the inmates from the out
door work. and at the same time some rev.
enue might be derived by the institution If
necessary the board will furnish the seed.
1t was decided at the meeting that during
the coming summer visits would be paid to
the old folks of the city TO interest them in
the work of lot cultivation.

Battle WITH DEATH.
Physicians Win Fight and Woman
Who Tried Suicide Lives.

a After battle with death, lasting nearly
'twenty-four hours, the physicians at the
City Hospital succeeded in arousing Mrs.
j. Runge yesterday morning and II is now
believed the woman will live.
For hours after being taken to the hos
pital the woman who had taken a large
dose of whisky and laudanum with suicidal
intent, was not believed to have a chance
to live. Despite the seemingly great odds
against them the hospital physicians con-
tinued the battle with death and now il is
believed the woman will live.
She regained consciousness yesterday
morning, but ii required hard work TO keep
her from releapsing into an unconscious
condition. What prompted her to make the
rash attempt upon her life is not known, as
the woman is yet too weak to make any
statement.
