the Hamburg market and the rest kept
for home consumption. Roasting be-
fore slow fire, with the tail on, over

If Japanese artist wishes to de-
scribe in color and design the antici-
patton of happiness he draws a picture
which is a combination of an April
evening, II moon, a nightingale and q
plum tree or two. Victory is sym
bolized by the iris, grace and quiet
ness by the willow tree and the swal-
low for symbols. Patriotism Is some
times indicated by spray of cherry
blossoms. The almond flower is the
flower of spring and symbolizes beauty.
The dragon twines and writhes an
artistic course through all Japanese
art, root and branch. His name is
Tatsu, and when you see him pictured
as fighting with tiger 1t is the symbol
Of religion fighting against power. A
dragon floating about In the clouds
means success In life. Tori, the cock,
perched upon drum, signifies good
government. Both the Greeks and the
Japs use the butterfly to symbolic i'm
mortality.

Women Cannot Cut Diamona,

these days of an ambition to learn the
trade of diamond cutting" the New
York Sun reports one jeweier as say
ing. Every little while an applicant
for a situation as an apprentice gives
us a call. But we can't afford to give
them a trial. They can never master
the art. In other branches Of the lew
elry trade women have made some IN
qualified successes. Not one of Ewes
daughters, from royalty down, l should
say, that isn't an artist In the wearing
of diamonds. Many are well veYsed
in the tricks of buying and selling them
while others give excellent satisfaction
in polishing and preparing them
for the market. But when 1t comes to
the real cutting Of the stones they lack
the patience, judgment and steadiness
Of nerve which constitute the experts

German schoolmasters are said to
have had much to do with the victory
of the Germans in their late war with
France, and in this connection Sir
Henry Roscoe tells this incident OF his
inspection of the professional school in
Rouen, France: Among the usual OBJ
jects l noted with surprise Prusslan
soldiers helmet. On being asked why
he placed it there the schOolmaster
stated that IT was picked up In the
streets of Rouen during the German
INVASION. Ana he added that 1T was of
great service to him, for when the
scholars did not attend to their work
be used to bring this down and put II
in his desk and, pointing to 1t, say:
Now, IL you do not make progress and
learn properly this will happen to you
sgain. The surest way to bring 1t
Upon you Is to neglect your studies and
grow up in ignorance and TO become in
ferior In intellectual training. The
display of that helmet explained the
director, never fails to bring the blush
Of shame to the cheeks of my students
and to rouse their patriotism and their
zeal for their studies.'

Worked the Tigers.

Near Perak, in the Malay peninsula,
is prosperous rubber factory run by
long headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made it is necessary to puncture the
bark of the trees. Laborers are scarce
In that district, but there Is an abun-
dance of tigers, There were not
enough men to tap" the trees. but the
Scotch proprietor hit on brilliant
idea. He knew that tigers are fond of
valerian, SO he gave orders that all the
trees should bc rubbed with this stuff.
The tigers came up and caressingly
scratched the bark in the most ap-
proved herringbone fashion, after
which all that the coolies had to do
was to walk around once day and
collect the rubber.
