The Russ and the Jap.

In the excessively cold climate of
northern Russia all classes of people
wear linen underclothes instead of
woOlens, and such malady as cold
is unknown. The Russian of those
ATTITUDES does not understand the
meaning Of rheumatism, bronchitis,
catarrh or consumption. Japan is a
country essentially humid and rainy.
There are from $50 to 200 rainy days
in the year. The changes Of tempera-
ture are sudden. The winter is cold.
The houses are exposed to every wind.
The dress of the natives leaves the
chest naked, winter and summer, and
the legs uncovered The ordinary folk
do not wear hats. The country people
pass half their lives with their legs in
the water of the rice fields. This war
has shown that the Japanese are the
hardest nation on earth.-New York

Girls As Mattresses

Patrons Of a certain hotel on Sem
eca Lake, n. Y. this summer are to
have the pleasure Of being waited on by
a score of pretty Barnard College girls
as Mattresses.
1t was in the light OF an experiment
that this particular proprietor of a
summer hotel posted notices on the
bulletin boards in several colleges Of
New York and Connecticut asking for
mattresses. He did not know whether
he would be favored with returns or
not, but he had not to wait long for
from many sources there came letters
making inquiries concerning the prop
osition, or applicants for positions.
Among the colleges represented We're,
besides Barnard, Nassar, Wellesley and
Syracuse University. Five times as
many applications as there were posi-
tions to MI came in through the mails.
and the summer hotel proprietor was
we'll nigh swamped. The next thing
was to select his staff from the num-
ber AS it happened that Barnard was
the first to respond, he decided 10 take
them all from one source.
Last year and for several years pre-
viously college boys have been en-
ployed in this capacity but this year
the man decided to make change.
Il hated awfully to turn the boys
down, for I have been inundated with
letters from them asking TO come back
this summer.
But the boys broke too many
things. They are so big and broad
handed and unused to china; 1 sup
pose that accounts for it, Ali the girls
will have to do is TO wait on table and
keep their individual tables IN order
For this they are paid S12 a month
with board laundry and carfare thrown
in. II is not hard work and I antici-
pate that they will keep the glass
cleaner and brighter. and the table ap'
pointments in better condition.
