When Japan Cleans house.

The unexpected japanese guest smiled
at the dismantled drawing room, made
his way carefully between broom and
pail of water, and, kicking aside a
bar of soap that had nearly overset
him, he said:
"You call this housekeeping. Well,
in Japan we'd call 1t nothing. We are
required by law over there to have four
housecieanings year that are, indeed,
housecleanngs. Everything goes out
in the street. Everything down to the
bare walls must be taken from every
japanese house four times a year and
set out upon the sidewalk; then all
must be thoroughly cleaned. Last OF
all, government officials come and dis
infect and fumigate the cleaned dwell
ings aud the cleaned possessions. ia
pan is a strange sight on those four
annual cleaning days. With all the fur
niture piled outside you'd think the
japanese lived in the streets instead Of
indoors. New York Press.

A Chinese superstition.

When a Chinese baby takes a nap
people think its soul is having a rest
going out for long walk perhaps. If
the nap is a very long one the mother
is frightened. She is afraid that her
baby's soul has wandered too far away
and cannot find its way home. If 1t
doesn't come back, Of course the baby
will never awaken. Sometimes men
are sent out into the streets to call the
baby's name over and over again, as
though it were a real child lost They
hope to lead the soul back home. If
baby sleeps while It is being carried
from one place to another the danger
Of losing the soul along the way is very
great. So whoever carries the little one
keeps saying it's name out loud, so that
the soul will not stray away. They
think of the soul as a bird hopping
along after them.

Italian Hat Straw.

Few people know where the straw
for making summer hats comes from
A great part of it is grown In Italy
To make suitable straw the wheat Is
sown as thickly as possible in order
that the growth of the plant may be
impoverished as we'll as to produce a
thin stalk having toward the end from
the last knot the lightest and longest
straw. The wheat blooms at the be
ginning of June and is pulled up by
the roots by hand when the grain is
half developed. If allowed to remain
in the ground a longer time the straw
would become brittle. About five
dozen uprooted branches, the size of
the compass of two hands, are firmly
tied together into little sheaves and
slowed away in barns. Then the straw
is again spread out to catch the heavy
summer dews and to bleach in the sun

MANS HEADGEAR.
From the Primitive Cap to the Glossy
High Hat of Today.

Earliest of all forms of headgear was
the cap. The hat did not really come
into common use till the seventeenth
century. In the time of Charles l. the
queer high sugar loaf shaped hat came
into fashion. 1t was wound with
rich band and trimmed with feather.
Constant balancing of the head was
necessary to keep it on. The hat was
taken up by the Puritans, who salts
fed their bitter consciences by discard
ing the frivolous band and the wicked
feather.
Charles ii. brought the French peri
wig into England, and the tall hat
went out to make way for n low. broad
brimmed thing, gorgeous with feathers
and gimcracl's. These broad brims be-
came broader and broader. At last it
became necessary to turn them up.
First this was done at the back, finally
according to the wearer's idea.
Out OF this extravagant style Of head
gear grew the cooked hat. The foot
men and the liveried coachmen Of
many European nations still wear this
style of headgear. During Queen Anne's
time the cooked hat was the hat Of the
gentleman. The correct fashion was
to carry 1t under the arm as much as
possible.
The French revolution, which took
of so many heads that had worn the
cooked hat, took off the cooked hat too.
In its place the crescent shape became
the style, partly by force. The direct
ancestor of that dreadful thing, the
high hat of today, was the noble and
sturdy beaver. Beavers went out of
fashion largely because the supply Of
material became exhausted.-London

SPONGE DIVERS.
Hardly q Single caphander Of rripoh
Escapes Paralysis.

GeNcfNe ~
There are a great many varieties Of
sponges, most Of which are found in
the warmer parts of the ocean. The
bath sponges are chiefly obtained from
the eastern half of the Mediterranean,
where they occur at all depths down to
200 fathoms and are obtained by div
ing, dredging or harpooning.
Writing in Harper's Magazine, O..
w. Furlong gives an account of the
work of the Greek sponge divers of
the coast of TripOli, in north Africa.
Attacks by sharks and dogfish have
gradually frightened away the common
divers, who dive naked with piece Of
fat marble and line, and the field is
left clear. for the "caphanders," as the
men are called who use air pump, suit
and helmet.
The greatest enemy of the caphander
is paralysis, hardly a single diver es-
Gaping from 1t in some form or other
The great cause of this disease is the
sudden relief Of pressure due to the
rapid ascent, the dangerous symptoms
appearing when the diver energies into
the fresh air.
Strange as It may seem, a partially
paralyzed diver on descending into the
waters RECEIVERS the use Of his limbs
again, and his circulation becomes nor
NAL. To battle with this scourge the
Greek government has issued regula-
tons as to the depths to which a diver
shall go and has also provided a hos
pital ship and a sponge divers hos
pital on shore.
