VALUABLE ARTICLE OF Eo0D
People Along the Coasts of Japan
Regularly Gather Harvests of
the SeaWeed.

"A large income is derived by the
inhabitants of the coasts Of Japan
from gathering and selling ordinary.
seaweed," said jeremiah King of At
lantic City
More than 100000 yen is derived
by the harvesters of the deep each
year. This does not include the large
amount Of the product consumed by
the natives.
Certain kinds of seaweed are used
for food and it's by-products represent
thousands of dollars annually. As
choice a dessert as | ever have eaten
was made from weeds gathered on the
southern coast Of Japan. This mixed
with sugar and sprinkled with rum
makes a dessert rarely equaled on
this side of the Atlantic.
There are families on the coast of
Japan whose ancestors for hundreds
of years have lived entirely from the
proceeds of the seaweed gathered
from March to November and sold for
food. The natives anchor branches of
trees at the mouths of the rivers
which flow into the ocean. The in
coming tide deposits seaweed on the
branches. The natives gather it, dry
it, and after mincing it with huge
knives sell it in large quantities"

The First Universities.

To fix precisely the date OF the rise
of the first universities is impossible,
for the reason that they were not
founded, but grew. They were started
by few able men who had something
they wished to teach and youths
wished to learn. Gradually the free,
voluntary center of learning became
the organized affair we know as the
universities. Among the earliest of
these centers of learning were Safer
no. Naples and Bologna, Italy being
the first land to experience the liter
airy revival. We may say that Salerno
university was fairly established by
the year 1860, the University of Bo-
logna by 116o and the University of
Naples by the year 1900 The Uni
veFsity of Paris, which owes its ex-
lstence TO the genius of Abeiard, was
founded about the same time.

COMING MONARCH or FINANCE
Young Man Of Fertile Brain Saw HIis
Opportunity and I'M
proved 1t.

Up in Burlington, VT. was a young
man summering.zie was shoe clerk
He was stopping at a cheap hotel for
the country air.
While out one afternoon gathering
in suburban air he noted a vacant lot
OF land between two fashionable resi-
dences of the port cochere type. He
decided that particular piece of land
would be fine upon which to erect a
cheap boarding and lodging house. He
found that it was owned by a farmer
five miles out of the city.
The farmer, although shrewd, was
not versed in the value of city real es-
tate beyond the assessed valuation. AS
the tract was small and not damaging
in appearance to the properties on
either side. there had never been a
seeker for it.
The young man said he hadsa little
money ne would like to invest and the
farmer was overjoyed to see small
piece of land go for $70e when his en-
tire farm of 100 acres was not worth
over $4,000. He thought the city chap
was easy.
Then the young man returned to the
city and began plans to erect his new
lodging and boarding house He let
the newspapers in on the fact that he
was going to do so and the story of
the proposed lodging house was spread
broadcast, The owners of the adjoin
ing properties got apoplectic
1t wound up by the young man sell
ing them the strip of land for the
modest sum of $4,000 after he had
actually had ground broken for the
cheap lodging house scheme.

A Dolls Tent


When at loss to amuse a SICK
child try making a dolls tent from
pieces Of canvas or silk. 1t can be
adapted to suit any special sized doll
by increasing or decreasing the di.
mansions of the sides.
Cut three acute triaRgIes of the
same size. This means they narrow
to a point at the top.
One of the triangles has an inverted
Vshaped opening for door. This is
cut about half the height of tent and
is hound with gay braid. The pieces
are also bound together with the
same braid
Cut circle of wood big enough to
stretch the bottom of the tent around
and nail it firmly to the wood. Stick
one of the new tall hatpins in the
center for a pole and reef the tent
to it.
If desired, curtain can be made
for the tent door. Provide ropes of
red Irvine to nfasten it back. Sew
small hooks t6the canvas for the Zap
fasteners.

MAIDEN AuNTs RULE FAMILY
Peculiar Custom That Prevails Among
the People Who lnFahit the
E=a - Banks Islands.

In at least one portion Of the word
the paternal aunt of a family OF emil iill
: dreu is of much consequence In the
scheme of family organization That
is III the Banks islands, part OF the
Melanesian islands in the. South seas
s where the natives hold her in unusual
esteem and give her an exalted posi-
ton.
Among the inhabitants of the Banks
Islands the fathers sister must never
be addressed by her own name by
her nephew or niece, but by some spe-
cial title of respect adopted by her.
A visitor to the Islands tells OF an IN
stance in which a woman had been re-
duced to tears because this mark OF
respect i had been withheld. The
mother might be spoken to. strongly,
emphatically, with assurance; but
man would never event take the initla-
tive in addressing his maternal aunt,
but would always wait until he had
first been spoken to. II was her
function to choose the mans. wife, and
to very considerable extent com
munity Of goods, prevailed between
aunt and nephew.
In these islands sfhere| is also a
uniduef method Of determining the par
entage of a child. It is determined
ceremGnialiy by the act of payment to
the woman, selected to look after the
mother. f'liis woman lis selected by
the fatHer,s sister. In the ordinary
course, the actual father pays the
money, but II another is more anxious
than himself to own the child he may
be forestalled in this payment, and
lose bis right to his own child. The
fathers Sister is entitled to some of
the child nail parings. and she keeps
these hidden in a leaf and hung about
her neck. The possession of them has
to be acknowledged by the child, who
can be called upon to give a feast in
his aunt's honor After the birth of
the first-born child in the island OF

Can You Do This Sum 2

week steals $144.O00 from bank

mental arithmetic lie two serious
thoughts. Men and boys who are re-
sponsible for vast sums of money or
who can obtain access to them should
be adequately paid for the services

they must possess to resist great
