DINING IN JAPAN.
If It's Your First Japanese Meal You
VIII Have Trying Time.

Will Have "A Trying Time.
If it's your first japanese dinner
you're having a dreadfully hard time.
In the first place you must sit on the
floor, for they don't have any chairs In
Japan. You kneel down, and then you
turn your toes in till one laps over the
other, and then you sit back between
your heels. At first you are quite
proud to find how well you do it, and
you don't think it's so very uncomfort-
able. But pretty soon you get cramp-
ed, and your legs ache as if you had a
toothache in them. You don't say any
thing because you think that If the
Japanese can sit this way all day long
you ought to be able to stand it few
minutes. Finally both your feet go to
sleep, and then you can't bear it a
moment longer, and you have to get
up and stamp around the room to
drive the prickles out of your feet, and
all the little dancing girls giggle at
you. This isn't your only trouble eli
ther. All you have to eat with is
pair of chopsticks, and you're in terror
lest you spill something on the dainty
white mating floor. Now the floor of
a japanese house isn't just the floor;
it's the chairs and sofas and tables
and beds as well. At home it would
be mortifying enough to 90 out to din
ner and spill something on the floor,
but in japan, where people sit and
sleep on the floor ii seems even worse.
So you are unhappy till your little ne
san (who Is the waitress and almost
as prettily dressed as the dancing girls
but not quite comes laughing to your
aid and shows you how TO hold your
chopsticks After that you manage
nicely the rice and the omelet, but the
fish and the chicken YOU can't cOntrive
10 shred apart without dropping y@ur
chopsticks all the time. So between
dances the maiko-the little girls about
twelve years old-kneel down beside
you and help you. They can't keep
from giggling at your awk kwardness,
but you don't mind; you just glggb
/ too, and everybody giggles and has
lovely time.-St. Nicholas.

The Union ShOp.

In closing an address on The Law
Of the Closing Shop" student Of the
University Of California asserted that
the CLOSED shop is necessary for social
advancement, and that social progress
has right to demand the sacrificing
Of individual interests" and also that
1.-THE closed shop is morally right. since
it merely forces non-union men to give
up their rights for the good Of human
ity. Thus the closed shop can be sup
ported for two great reasons: First,
because it is a necessary factor in as
sisting toiling humanity to rise; and
second because it forces non-union men
to do their moral duty and assist in the
great social movement upward. How
ever you look at it you must admit
that the closed shop aids social pro-
gress, and is therefore justif1able." The
advocates of Free labor and "inde-
pendent" workmen will hardly agree
with this line Of reasoning.

SOAP TO PREVNT LEAD
AND MERCURY POISONING

Painters, Whitewashers, varnishers,
and in general workmen who handle
compositions Of which lead in an ingred-
lent, will sooner or later suffer lead
poisoning. Despite the most scrupu-
lous cleaning, the hand will retain some
traces OF the lead, which intimately fnd
their way to the mouth in eating, drink
ing or smoking. The ordinary soap
may, chemically considered, be one Of
the most deplorable cleansing agents.
for the chemical combinations to which
1t may give rise when applied to paint
stained hands may even increase the
amount Of lead adhering to the skin.
A German chemist has invented a
soap for the purpose Of so acting upon
the lead adherlng to the skin as to
render it absolutely harmless. The
particles of lead are changed into non
poisonous sulphide of lead by the simple
process Of washing with this soap.
The clientele principle underlying the
use of this soap in simple enough.
It consists simply in producing sulphur
cited hydrogen which transforms the
lead into harmless sulphide Of lead and
renders it possible to cleanse the skin
thoroughly.
To the chemist it is obvious that a
soap Of this kind ought to be effective,
not only for the purpose OF preventing
poisoning from lead, but from copper,
mercury and arsenic as we'll; for these,
too, can be converted into 1nouous sui
phides.
