In Japan thousands are born and die
on boats without ever living on shore
one Of the most interesting features Of
japanese life is the manner of living In
boats and junkS, thousands Of which
frequent every bay along the coast
The awkward junkS always belong to
the members Of one family, and usually
every member of the family. old and
young. lives on board. The smaller
sailboatS are very narrow. and the sail
they never have but one is placed
very near the stern ana extends from
the mast about the same distance in
either direction.
In these boats men and women are
born and die without ever having an
abiding place on shore. They wear but
few clothes except when it rains. when
they put on layers Of fringy straw
mats, which give them the appearance
of being matched. At night, if in har-
Dor, they bend poles over the boat from
side to side in the shape of a bow,
cover them with this st.<ty ana 20 to
sleep altogether like lot of pigs

Boys TussIe With a Leopard.

A huge leopard visited the Gopal-
pore tea estate few days ago, and
arriving about II o'clock in the morn
ing took a good look around. After
roaming about and apparently salts
flying himself that everything was 60
ing on all right, he felt the pangs of
hunger coming over him.
The hospitality of the manager Of
the Gopalpore tea estate is proverbial,
and he has Mutton Club" The leo
pard soon got to find out this, and he,
therefore strolled into the precincts
of the club and made himself an hon.
orary member straightaway, quite I'M
conventioaally and without any of the
usual formalities. For "tiffin" he Sc
lected and seized the latest Sheep.
But the boy who was in charge of the,
sheep would not allow this, SO he
caught the sheep by the hind legs and
hung on to them while the leopard
was tugging away at the other end,
the boy yelling blue murder all the
time.
When this had gone on for a few
minutes the manager came riding up,
and observing the state Of affairs at
once Clipped into the game. He and
the boy between them succeeded in
rescuing the body of the sheep, but
the leopard got the head. He content
ed himself with this for the time be-
ing, and it is wonder that he did not
take more and that he did not attack
the manager and the boy who de-
psived him of his meal. The leopard
had his revenge for his discontinue

Dangers of Deer Hunting.

Every few days men are coming out
of the woods who tell of narrow es-
capes which they had from getting
plugged with a bullet while hunting
deer. 1t is pretty certain that the
cases which result fatally, or from
which dangerous wounds result, are
the only ones in which careless shoot
ing is reported.
Recently three hunters who came
up from New York early in the week
and went into the woods with the in
tention of staying at least two weeks,
went back to the metropolis. One Of
them had bullet hole through the
inside of one of his trouser legs near
the knees. The bullet grazed the flesh
of his leg, causing a long, red mark.

Would Like Japs to Be Tall.

The pet desire of the Emperor of
Japan is said to be to create by means
OF more carnivorous diet a taller
race of soldiers. The European style
OF food was tried for several years on
small boys in the government schools,
but they disliked it and it did not give
the desired results. The report of the
doctors who had charge of these chill
dren at the government schools could
suggest no better way to secure tall
soldiers than to encourage the Japa-
nese to marry European women.
