The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-07-13

Although a late start was made,
and starters failed to score nicely,
some good racing was enjoyed at the
Matinee club races at the fair
grounds yesterday, on account of the
delay occasioned by punctured tire,
and a broken sulky, one race was
scratched entirely, and no running
race with gentlemen riders was seen.
The special match race was run last,
and It was $50 o'clock when the
crowd left the grand stand, hungry,
but satisfied with the sport. One
feature was the breaking of the track
record for a mile pace in a regular
race, which was accomplished by
Harry A. against Directly Boy. Harry
A. did the first mile heat in 2:17, and
the last in 2:1S. The record was
2:1S.
Racing started at O'Clock, with
the track fast and grand stand well
filled.

FARMERS WAYS IN JAPAN.
How They Live, Work and Have
Their Being.

Straw which American farmers
throw away Japanese farmers would
utilize says the st. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat.
Whatever grows or passes to decay
Is of value to him, he managing to get
along and be happy and contented on
very little.
One who Is the possessor Of a horse
and cart is considered to be wealthy.
1t seems very good to US, but most of
the horses belonging to the farmers
wear shoes made of rice straw, even
the clumsiest horses.
A farmer taking goods to market
will take extra shoes with him to re
shoe the horse in the event of one pair
wearing out. The shoes are tied
around the ankle with straw rope
made of rice straw, braided so that
they form q sole for the foot about
half an inch thick.
The average shoe usually lasts about
eight miles of travel.
In Japan in former times it was us
ual to measure the distance by the
number of shoes it took to cover the
distance. The horses hat and harness
Is also made of the rice straw.
They are too poor to buy harness
like American farmers would have.
The farmers wear shoes, hats and
raincoats made of rice straw.
The japanese farmer usually dwells
In a comfortable, inviting, faultlessly
clean home, without particle Of dust
or dirt.
The transparent paper wall Of his
house made Of the bark Of the mitsu-
mata shrubs floods his dwelling with
light and keeps out the wind.
He enjoys good food served In dafn-
ty but inexpensive dishes made Of ma
tive woods.
Even In the houses of the poorest
there are no visible signs Of poverty.
There Is no Squalor in agricultural
Japan. The humblest peasant farmer
Is clean, Industrious and comfortable.
The area Of fence corners abandoned
on many American farms to wild mus
tard. pigweed, etc, would furnish n
comfortable living to a japanese farm
er. In Japan, when japanese farm
er permits telegraph pole to be erect
ed on his land, he has made great
concession to modern reform.
Only the exceedingly rich have fences
around their farms. Not because of
the cost Of the fence, but the value Of
the ground the post and picket would
consume.
If border Is required it Is custo-
mary to plant mulberry tree.
A farm laborer only receives from
10 to 10 cents day and rice, but new
ertheless Is happy and contented.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

No soul can grow without solitude.
Often a hot old town is due to cold
old church.
Every occasion for pess'mism Is
call to Improvement.
They who grow In grace surely will
grow more gracious.
If you cannot stand ridicule you
never will earn applause.
It Is no use preaching about happl-
ness with vinegar In your voice.
Folks who always are looking for
faults always are far sighted.
The less religion In some men the
more theology they can hold.
You are not likely to make straight
truth by twisting scripture texts.
There's more affection in blunt truth
than In the caresscs of affection.
When men have bound their eyes
they always open their mouths wider.
When church really has a worthy
work she VIII not want for workers.
You may know mans power when
you know the things that provoke him.
You cannot establish your citizenship
IN heaven by lodging your taxes here
Heaven heeds not the prayer for
strength that has no objective In SER

Fishes in Sleep.

The way fishes sleep is a study which
few people have taken up, but which is
nevertheless very interesting. They are
very light sleepers and frequently as
sumo singular positions, but the most
remarkable thing is the change OF color
which the majority of them undergo
while asleep. Usually their spots and
stripes become darker and more dis
tinct when they have successfully
sought temporary oblivion.
Sometimes the pattern Of their color
ing is entirely changed. The ordinary
porgy, for Instance. presents In the day
time beautifully iridescent hues playing
over It's sl!very sides, but at night, on
falling asleep, 1t takes on a dull bronze
tint, and six conspicuous black bands
make their appearance on its sides.
II 1t Is suddenly awakened BY the
turning up Of the gas In the aquarium

or that it shows by daylight.
Naturallsts ascribe these changes to
the principle Of protective coloration''
and point out that the appearance of
black bands and the deepening Of the
spots serve to conceal the fish from
their enemies when lying amid the sea.

How may we find that proportion OF
toll and relief, that happy mixture Of
duty and delight that shall make life
hot only endurable but also useful,
fruitful and enjoyable? For 1t Is mans
duty to be happy; otherwise he can
never be useful in any high or valuable
sense.
1t would be easy to try to give COM
fort by the philosophy which sees the
fine fr-lltage that is coming from to-
days stern discipline. That fair fruit
age Is coming, but the trouble is It Is
too far Off to give us much comfort
now; we want something nearer and
more easily apprehended Then, too,
the truth is no high fruitage will ever

After all, what life is to every one Of
us depends not on the demands OF outer
circumstances but on the development

We must do our dull and heavy tasks,
but we can do them and not be crushed
by them SO long as within there are
fragrant memories, high aspirations,
great thoughts; so long as the task does

it Is the cherishIng OF these eternal
