JAPAN TAKES TO NEWSPAPERS

the lower classes one paper is read,
as far as I have been able to observe,
by five or six persons. A very few Of
the older people cannot read, but all
the younger generation can.
TIL most eager interest is taken not
only In stirring public events but in
administrative measures, such as the
very recent naturalization of the rail-
ways. Every newspaper posts its
daily issue in the street, and all dav
long groups of readers, too poor to
buy copy, replace each other to scan
the news Of the day. Discussion runs
high among peoplJ who are far below

Israel, there had been trouble brew.

lam did not propose to be thus
set aside" as she put it, without pro-
test. Secretly she cherished the hope
that Moses plan would not work, and
sought every opportunity of discred.
iting the men chosen by Moses. She
was indignant that Moses had ig.
nored both herself and Aaron in the
matter.
She rather suspected that he had
thus chosen to follow the advice of
Jethro, his father-in-law, without con.
sulting her, because he understood her
prejudice against his foreign wife and
her people, and feared that if he
asked her advice-as he should have
done, she thought-she would have
opposed the scheme. And what proved
Irritating to her beyond measure, were
the insinuations which had been
thrown out by many of her intimate
friends that she and Aaron did not
seem to have much to do now" As
much as to say that they were no
longer to be reckoned as factors in
the leadership of Israel.
In this way she had nursed her al
legged wrongs and they had grown
under this encouragement until at last
she became convinced that she must
assert her rights. She found Aaron
quite in sympathy with her feelings
and ready to aid her in any plans she
might wish to adopt to counteractMoses'
influence and authority with the peo-
pie. They realized that they could
not openly attack the new plan of
administration under the elders, and
as they searched Moses record thew
found there was nothing they could
point to in his leadership which had
been unwise or indiscreet.

The plainest, cheapest possible con-

trim his tastes to conform to a rea-

years time. The house can be built
for $500 or 500 without the cellar and
a lot suitable for such a house should
