THE JAPANESE FARMERS WIFE.
If the Mans Lot Is Hard, Hers Is Still
Harder.

Ii the lot of a japanese farmer be
hard, that of his wife is infinitely harder
She not only does an eqral 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
IS taught to be obedient to her parents
and when she is about 70 be married her
mother gives her thirteen rules by which
TO steer her bark on the rugged sea of
Japanese married life. Among them are
the following: BE always kind to your
mother-in-law and sisters-in-law." Get
mp early, stay up late at night and do
not take nap in the day time BE a
good housekeeper, be economical in ey-
erythng." 1t is well for the happiness
Of the girl who is about to become a
farmers wife that the last two command
ments have been so inStilled that she is
prepared to regulate her life by them.
The first to rise, she is sure to be the
last to retire, and when the male mem
bers of the family may be seen stretched
ON the floor, taking their siesta. the patient
housewife may be seen mending some
garment or else laboring in the field Ii
Is scarcely necessary, however, to train
her to be economical for that is c0mpu-
sorry.
Before the farmer has awakened from
his heavy sleep his little wife creeDs 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 M

Need Whole Skins.

Skin fruits are generally exposed for
sale without thought OF causing trou-
bic, and nature really intended that the
skin should be a protection to the fruits
IN more ways than one. A skin fruit

the skin even slightly punctured cannot
be kept in cold storage more than n few
months, but those which are absolutely
perfect IN the skin will keep nearly a
year in low temperature. This very
fact indicates to us how numerous and
dangerous fruit becomes when it's skin
has been punctured and is exhibited on
the stalk for sale. Many children buy
these injured apples, bananas, grapes
oranges and other fruit, and eat them
without regard TO their decayed condi-
ton. With one mouthful they may con-
sumo a few thousand germs, some dan
gerous to the health and others not espe-
ciaily injurious, owing to natures wise
precautions in supplying our stomach
with fluids capable of destroying them.

A FLOOD OF CRABS.
Singular Occurrence at the Mouth of til,
Chesapeake.

StISod pSdAG.
Soft she'll crabs are as commonplace
to the de water Virginian as are baked
beans to the Bostonian. while the hard
shell may be got at any time in Chesa-
peake bay by means of a string with a
piece of meat dropped overheard and a
scoop net to land the creature" says
Alice K. Corbin in What-to- Eat. But
most remarkable is an extravaganza OF
the Atlantic that occurs, so the natives
say, about three times winter down at
Cape Henry at the mouth of the Chesa.
peake: The icy condition of the water
puts the crabs into a partially frozen and
numbed condition, and if the wind takes
certain direction, there are sure to be
miles and miles of beach covered with
masses Of fat blue bodies and spraying
iirlbeci!e pink legs that stretch up help
lessly into the air. The first crabs com

little curiosity. Then the number stead
lily increases, the 10O-yard beach at last
becoming covered with crabs, seaweed,
conch spawn, sea biscuit, sea hogs and
the giant king crab, with top like the
bowl of mandolin and a long, thin tail
IKE Il rats sticking out behind. Finally
the waves themselves are no longer
waves of water, but literally waves of
crabs.
Then the little settlement of govern
ment employees and the stray wood her
mltS and the darkies from back in Tia,
desert get to work. They hitch up their
broad two-wheeied beach carts and work
from morning till night gathering in the
crabs, taking them to the station seven
miles away (where they are shipped to
the markets or to canning factories) and
then coming back for more
"At nightfall the lighthouse keepers,
the weather bureau and the signal men
and the lifesavers have gone home, but
the darkies up toward Lynn Haven bay
are still at work. Those that have no
carts content themselves with burlap
bags thrown over the shoulder, and many
of them bring pitchforks to help Olsen
fangle the great masses of seaweed You
can see their dark, grOtesque or pathetic
faces plainly in the light of their Ian

them on a narrow strip of beach between
the bowling ocean that is fiinging its
foam about them and the darker land of
the woods behind, you have IL picture

1t all runs the wild strain of their fantas-
tic melodies. mingling in with the roar of

AERIAL RAILWAY IN INDIA,
Saasational Religious Ceremony That
Takes Place in the Himalayas.

Una Of the most remarkable and senss-
sionaI religious ceremonies in the whole
q indla takes place annually at Kulu,
m the Himalayas.
ST0m cliff oyerhanging a PERCEPTIONS
gorgs several hundred feet deep a rope
. stretched, and fastened to a strong
4Iake on the opposite side of the rayine
The rope is OF great length. nearly 25OO
rect and when it is stretched taut the
upper end will be several hundred feet
higher than the lower end.
Down this terrible incline the victim
or performer slides, the precaution hav-
Ing been taken to wet the rope to pre-
vent 1t from catching fire from the fric-
ton.
This descent is effected as follows:
The performer sits astride on a kind of
rough wooden saddle fitted with holes.
through which the rope Is threaded,
wniie to his legs are attached bags filed
with sand TO enable him to maintain an
upright position during his descent and
also to increase the momentum. The
lower end of the rope is wound round
the descent at landing and prevent the
1heTi. as the performer is called, from
dashing his brains out against the pole
70 which the rope is fastened.
The first few hundred yards of the
descent is accomplished with lightning
velocity, as is indicated by the stream of
smoke which follows in his wake. The
incline then diminishing, the pace be-
comes slower and slower, so that, by the
time he reaches the goal he is able to
stop himself without danger.
The underlying motive of this curious
ceremony 10 that If the fight Is safely ac-
complished prosperity is assured 10 the
crops for that year. This sentiment
naturally. minimizes the danger of the
1eat, as It is to every ones interest that
II should be safely accomplished. Indeed
q similar motive Is at the bottom of GER
tain religious festivals in Roman Cath
Ole countries.
A we'll known example Of this Is tho
fete OF the Scoppio at Florence, when
doye, albeit an artificial one, performs an
aerial flight of a somewhat similar ma
tnre on wire stretched from the summit
Of the high altar of the cathedral to an
OK wagon filled with fireworks which is
stationed in front Of the west door. The
Himalayan ceremony can be traced back
for hundreds of years, and the men who
perform the feat form a small distinct
caste.--Chambers' Journal

Cheer Uni

re ,ches into his desk and brings out a
typewriter paper and presents it to the

and
CHEER UP.
What right have you to carry picture
of your woebegone face and funereal WAYS

bles of their own? If you must whine or
sulk or scowl, take car and go TO the
woods or to the unfrequented lanes.
CHEER UP.
Your ills are largely ina gnary. If you
were really on the brink of bankruptcy or
If there were no thoroughfare through your
sorrows, you would clear your brows set
your teeth and make the best of it.
CHEER UP.
You are making a hypothetical case ont
of your troubles and suffering from your
self-nhicted verdict. You are borrowing
trouble and paying high rate of interest
CHEER UP.
Why. man alive! In ten-minutes' walk
you may see a score of people worse Off

own grave and playing pallbcarer into the
bargain. Man alive, you must do your
work. Smile, even though it be through
your tears-which speedily dry-and
