exceedingly pretty in their brightly

changed and things are moving quick

JAPAN'S USEFUL PAPERS.

| House Walls, Rain Coats, Grain Sacks

From the bark OF trees and shrubs

which are far ahead OF ours.
The walls OF the Japanese houses
are wooden frames covered with thin
paper. which keeps out the wind but

pares these paperwalled doll houses
with the gloomy bamboo cabins OF the
Inhabitants Of the island Of Java or the

and in rainy climate. these ingenious
people have solved in a remarkable

dwellings, and, at least In a measure.
