ARE LEARNING TO DRINK MILK.
Only Lately Have the Japanese Even
Tolerated the Beverage.

Japan is learning to drink milk. A
Japanese newspaper says of the phe-
nomenon: There was q time when
milk was regarded in Japan with the
same adherence ~ cheese IL in
China. especially the pungent and
strong-smelling variety. Recent Stats
tics, however. show that time has
worked a great change In this respect
and milk and butter are now In great
favor In Japan. Whereas 2B years ago
not more than one or two per cent.
of the persons visiting a European
restaurant or eating a European meal
at friends home would have thought
OF touching butter, fully 40 or so per
cent now eat It with q relish. They
are. however. quite content to do
without It,
AS to dairy farms. they have in
creased notably in recent years. Thirty
or 40 years ago milk was abhorred.
The average Japanese could not in
duce himself to drink it. But to-day
many q household consumes one or
two bottles Of milk daily, partly be-
cause people have come TO like it and
partly because the doctors have recon-
mended it a. . unique and wholesome
beverage.
Mix halls, too, are now quite
numerous. Butter will probably take
much longer to come widely into
vogue, because of it's expensiveness
A pound Of fresh butter costs at least
one yen (4s.S cents gold in Tokyo to-
day. an extremely high price for
Japan"

The method is simplicity itself A
large acetylene searchlight is placed
by the river bank in such a position
that its rays can be made to illuminate

DISTANCES SEEM TO SHORTEN.
Thing That Struck New Yorker on
His Latest Visit to Old Home.

THE thing that struck me this
time" said a New Yorker who had
just made little visit to the town
in which he was born, was the short
ness of the distances in the old place.
Il remember that when l first used
to go back the buildings there that had
seemed big to me in my youth grad
ually grew small but this time the dis
lance had dwindled remarkably, too
The railroad station there is on the
edge Of the town and you take a
street car to ride to the business cen
ter. That used to seem to me to
be quite ride; but this time we got
there before l knew it.
What 1 said. you don't mean
we've got to Blank street,
Yes, here we are said the old
home friend. and so we were.
You see, the distances were shrink
ing now. as the buildings had already
done; and friendly and pleasant as the
old town seemed-and It's steadily
growing, too. and is a bigger place
than ever-still II seemed smaller and
smaller to one whose later and now
fixed impressions were OF the big
buildings and the big distances OF the
big town Of New York"

The FIss a panasrou. Enemy.

The principal indictment against the
nea is that It is the partner OF the rat
In the propagation Of the bubonic
plague. and is. indeed. the more guilty
Of the two. It Is perfectly we'll estab-
lished that the bacillus OF the plague
exists in rats Of q certain breed. These
rats are infested with heas which by
their biting transfer the disease germs
to other rats, When the rats die the
neas desert their bodies for other rats
or for human beings. So neas are the
essential factors in conveying the
plague virus TO men. and It is possible
that they convey II from one man to
another, from a plague patient to a
healthy man, without the cooperation
of rats at all.

Responsibility.

Some one has said truly that respon-
sibility walks hand in hand with ca
pacity and power. Little is expected
Of the incapable. The very mention
Of duty. task, responsibility weighs
like a burden upon the minds OF weak
men and women. Every one must
have met men OF good parts who will
sedulously dodge anything like a re-
sponsibility. They shun everything
like responsibility though high re
wards may be offered. The mere
thought OF being held to strict account
ability dlsmays them. and no remuner-
alton and no honor are great enough
to tempt them to leave the pleasant
ways OF peace to undertake a course
which involves contention OF strife. or
even serious prolonged attention.

Be Ready for Your Luck.

The mistake which the generality of
people make is in not being ready for
their luck when 1t comes. While they
are still considering its possibilities,
1t is up the chimney and down the
next street. The really lucky people
are those who lie in wait for their
luck and seize it, and cling to 1t till
the moment when the sleeping Furies
awake and, hurting themselves on
them. snatch 1t out OF their hand. To
toy with their luck, as so many peo-
pie do. to treat 1t as If 1t were some
thing that could wait till tomorrow. is
to court inevitable disaster.-Woman's

BENEFIT IN CHICKEN RAISING.

than any other set Of people they are
willing, even anxious, to help each
other. Professional men and men en-
gagged in the trades do not, when talk.
Ing together. sound the note Of mutual
helpfulness. Each man keeps his
secrets OF success to himself. Now
and then one may drop a hint that
may by chance prove valuable to his
hearers. but he doesn't mean to do
even that. because the rule Is for
each to work out his own salvation
Amateur chicken rsisers, on the
other hand. are inspiring examples Of
altruism. When one discovers a new
cure for the pip he hastens to spread
the information among his friends and
neighbors who are also wrestling with
the pip proposition. II another man
hits upon g new idea In feeding or
Matching he never rests till he gives
his brother chicken raisers q chance
