Japan's Children.

There are no unkind parents in ia
pan, and practically no naughty little
girls and boys at all. Of course, boys
will be boys and girls will be girls
even in Japan, as Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese Minister, smilingly admitted
when speaking on the subject.
'But we have" he said, IAN unwrit-
ten system of training children which
makes our homes happy. AS soon as
a child can be reasoned with he is
taught to understand that the love and
care his parents give him must be met
with love and respect. In fact, the
love of grown-ups for children and the
respect of children for grown-ups are
two ideals of our national life.
"But then, japanese parents are pro-
verbally devoted. Many are the tales
of their devotion. There is one as well
known in our country as that about
George Washington in America.
''It records that a Japanese little
girl, smelling savory odor coming
from wealthy neighbor's house, asked
what it meant. Her mother answered
that the neighbors were cooking 6
chicken for their children's dinner
Thereupon, the child begged for
chicken. too. 'Alasv said the mother
we are too poor
"When dada came home the chil(
| asked him with tears why they wer'
too poor to afford chicken. Without I

Safest Country in the World For Women

'There is no country under the sun

DANGER
Mrs. WOOlsOn was speaking Of Toledo
and Madrid, with it's famous Gothic
churches and works of art The Cathe-
dral of Toledo, she urged, was a veri-
table stOrehOuSe Of art treasures and
souvenirs of Spanish history, and to
be familiar with its interior is liberal
Spanish education in itself. Even the
chairs of the cathedral, carved in the
time of Ferdinand and Isabella, each
contains a story in it's workmanship.
In Spain the Government spends hun
dreds of thousands of dollars annually
to preserve it's Gothic structures and
works of art, whereas in other coun-
tries little is done in that direction.
There is in Spain no expenditures too
lavish for the preservation of these
historic relics of past grandeur.
One wishes when in Toledo, said
the speaker, to be immortal and live
for eternity, so as to be able to learn
all the marvellous art and history and
beauty that are bound up in it's walls
The heart of Spain, however, is in Ma
| drid, and every Spaniard contributes
| to the glory of that interesting city.
Mrs. Woolson's enthusiasm ran high
and her we'll known admiration gave
expression in her words: Il challenge

TO MEND heavy CLOTHING.

The mending of our heavy everyday
clothing, especially that of the men
folks, is work which many women dis
like doing and do poorly. I do not
mind it at all, and will tell you my
way of doing the work.
For patching heavy garments, like
coats and trousers, cut pieces large
enough to reach well over the worn
place. Use them without turning in
and stitch them on the wrong side Of
the garment on the sewing machine.
Then cut out all the thin edges on the
right side, and whip down by hand.
When the knees are out, turn the gar
ment wrong side out, cut the worn
part out from seam to seam and stitch
in a piece ON the machine. These
wont rip off before worn out, and
look and feel much firmer than patches
put on in the old way, besides saving
lots Of time.
Knit underwear should be darned
while the holes are small, but if one
must mend larger holes, it is best to
patch them with the best parts of
| cast-of knit wear. Do not turn the
edges in, but flannel stitch them down
To mend any thin material, always
baste it first on some firm cloth OF
paper, which can be removed when
the work is finished. This keeps the
fabric from puckering and saves time
and patience.
The best method for refooting socks
is this: Cut off the lower part of the
foot, just below the ankle, leaving thu
upper part to the toes. Then cut 8
new foot from knit goods so that there
will only be seams behind the heel
across the toes and along the sides o.
the foot. After sewing on, spread th'
seam open and whip down, and thu
sock is as good as new. If holes il
stockings are large, it is more econom
ical to patch them than to try you
patience by darning. First run tn
needle close to the edge around tn
hole, cut patch the right size, bast
in place and flannel stitch it firml.
to the stocking. This stitch keeps
from ravelling, and there are no thic
seams to chafe the skin.-Martha Sto1
linga, in the Indiana Farmer.

COOKING THERMOMETERS.

The use of cooking thermometers,
which until recently was almost thor
Oughly confined to hotels and restau-
rants, is increasing in private kitchens.
Most modern housekeepers count
them nowadays as necessities, and
they are to be found in any house fur
nishing shop, says the Cooking Club.
They register scale Of temperature
which somewhat exceeds 400 degrees.
In addition they indicate at what tenn
perature different meats should be
cooked. Mutton needs the lowest
temperature, 800 degrees, beef re-
quires 80, and pork and veal 320 de-
grees. Bread and pastry need 400 de-
grees, but biscuit must have 450. Plain
cake bakes well at 800 degrees, while
sponge cake needs only 800. The
thermometers can be used in boiling
water or fat as well as in the oven.

No Nonsense.

Uncle John Martin, well known here,
resident of his handsome home on
West Antietam, is veteran Of the
Civil War and soldier Of cool nerve
and courage.
Last night he went to the City Hotel
and a couple of his teeth hurt him,
and he said to plumber who was tax
ing an internal bath: LEND me
your pliers" and the plumber had not
his with him. Then Mr.. Martin, sud
denly remembered that he had his

was rid of the tooth. It was very

BEAUTIFUL TABLE LINENS

BEAUTIFUL TABLE LINENS
The array of beautiful table linens
shown this season is simply bewilder-
ing. Centrepieces and doilies, which
come in sets of from one dozen to
three dozen, are shown in grass linen
with heavily embroidered white silk
borders in Chinese design upon spaces
of drawn work.
For general wear the Irish embroid-
cred linens are uneQualled and in
good taste. The mosaic effect seems to
be new feature in the drawn work,
and is very neat and dainty. In some
instances the pattern is worked about
a design in fruit or flowers, and these
are outlined in silk-New York Press.

DISLIKE PICTURES
Railroad Men Object TO Their
Portraits In Print


81 have often noticed. said prom
inent railroad officer of this city yester-.
day that very few railroad men have
their pistures in the newspapers.
Now you newspaper men may think
that is queer, but if you will take the
trouble to look beneath the surface you
will readily see what is the matter. We
are not in the same position as men
in other lines We have nothing to gain
and everything to loseEb publicity. Even
at that we could stand it if the adj
yertiSing to the road was of enough i'm
portanee to overcome the natural dislike
that We, as class, have for public no.
tice.
'I do not mean to say that the average
railroad officer is SO modest that he hates
to see his picture in print and l would
not try to give the impression that under
other circumstances the publication of our
mugs would not be an unalloyed pleasure
Neither would 1 put forward the claim
that railroad men are hoInelief than any
other class, for you can see for yourself
ter is. there are too many vice presidents
who look on the publication of the pic
lures OF their subordinates as a piece of
unwarranted nerve.
In that one fact lies the real reason
for the general unwiHingneSS of railroad
officers to allow their pictures to be print
ed and which also causes them many a
bad half hour when interviews are cred
tied to them.
1T might cost me six or eight months
in getting my promotion to have my pic
ture in the paper and SO would not have
one taken for $500. Then I'm safe.

VARSITY BASKETBALL
TEAMS TOUR PLANNED
Eastern Trip Is Planned to Take in All
Big Colleges

In spite of the fact that the best part
of the football season is Just arriving,
some of the athletes at the state uni
yersity are turning their attention to other
sports, and the fact that so many of the
big universities, not only of the West but
of the East, also have asked for games
with the Minnesota basketball team, has
aroused interest in teams prospects
much earlier than usual. The invitation
from Yale to a game with them next
spring was taken up by the other univer-
SitieS as an acknowledgements of Gopher
prowess, and was followed by invitations
from many of the smaller universities
and colleges, so that Minnesota will have
its hands full on its swing around the
Eastern circuit.
Manager Reed and Assistant Manager
Hugh Leach have opened negotia tions
with Syracuse. Columbia Amherst,
Brown, Georgetown and Washington and
Jefferson. The trips of the basketball
team are considered the best thing Of
fered TO athletes by the university, and as
result there is always keen competition
for places and If "a man wishes to land
he has tc get cut early and stay out all
the time Only two of the first team men
will be back in school this year, Helon

entire second team will be UP and doing,
including Brown. McCrae, Brandon and
