Physique of Younn Lanan

Rumors have been rife that the con-
stitution of Young Japan is degener-
ating year after year, says the Eibun
Tsushinsha, but they are firmly de-
MED by the authorities, who are of
the opinion that according to the re-
ports of the physicians of conscripts
both constitution and weight are
showing an upward tendency on the
whole, and there Is not a bit of cause
to justify the rumors.
This must be the boon of compul-
sorry education, only the prevalence of
several diseases and of trachoma is
true and indeed alarming, and On this
account every year great many
young men are disqualified for the
service; but the authorities reassura
us that the physique Of Young Japan
is never on the decline.-Japan Ad.

Among his fellows. Ellsworth Ferry
was accounted strong man, unafraid,
cool and daring He had had to be all
this in order to make the tremendous
success which had been his since he
had struggled up from nothing to
eminence and wealth. Yet with it all,
there was one thing Ellworth Ferry
was afraid to do He was afraid to
ask his wife question.
1t did not seem possible that anyone
could be in fear of Eunice; she was so
fragile and appealing and beautiful.
Yet these very qualities lay at the bot
tom of Ferry's cowardice. She had
crossed his vision during one of his
rare lulls from business, and he had
been instantly entranced. deeply In
love, and thereupon set about his WOO
ing in his usual whirlwind way Of do
ing things. He was "A and this slender
girl with the wonderful deep-blue
eyes. fascinating laugh and beguiling
little ways was only %.
Always laughing, never serious,
Eunice had accepted him. smilingly.
calmly. His own great JOY had been
so overwhelming that he had not
thought much about her matter-of-
factness. Afterward, he had wished
she had been little tremulous, more
thrilled by the occasion. He had cared
so much that it never seemed other
wise than that she. too. felt as he did.
A casual word had started his whole
trouble. On the club veranda he had
stood by idly while two women he
knew were talking. They were dis
cussing a possible matrimonial al
lance, and one of them, a stout wom-
an of many bangles, had cried out in
disgust at some comment of her
friend.
Marry him?" she repeated. "Of
course she'll marry him! What if he
is old enough to be her father and
terrible crank? He's got money, my
dear, heaps Of it. Any girl would
marry him!"
The words repeated themselves dis.
agreeably in Ferry's ears all the rest
of the day. He knew not when he had
begun to apply them personally. The
question was. had Eunice married him
for his money? Would she have said

Concrete construction should be as

Concrete construction should De as
nearly continuous as possible, but II
the conditions will not justify one in
building continuously, the points at
which the joints are to occur should
be predetermined and the work done
accordingly. Horizontal joints or
seams are more Objectionable than
vertical ones and, as It is not neces-
sary to have both, horizontal ones
should be avoided in foundations
which serve as basement or cellar
walls. The position or character of a
Joint in shallow foundation which
does not serve as wall is not i'm
portant. but In all concrete work
Joints should be avoided when pos
sible.
The ideal way to construct with con-
crete is to continue without Interrupt
ton the work once started, until the
structure is completed; never deposit
ing concrete on or against concrete
that has hardened. One does not ex-
meet to find 1t possible to work under
ideal conditions, but all work should
be handled SO as to get, as nearly as
practicable, the results obtainable un-
der such conditions.
Unless a foundation can be con-
structed in a continuous operation, 1t
is best to divide the work into sec
tions and complete each section with
out interruption This will make 1t
necessary to provide for vertical joints
at both ends of each section. To ac-
complish this the forms should be
erected in sections, or board should
be set up in form, making complete
partition. So that the sections of the
wall will be keyed into each other, a
groove should be formed in both ends
of the first section, and thereafter In
one end of each section. Such a
groove can be made as shown in the
sketch, by placing a 2 by 4-inch tim
ber vertically against the end wall or
| partition in the form. Previous to
placing, the edges of the 2 by should
be dressed to give a slightly wedge
shape: this is necessary to make it
possible to remove it without destroy
ing or marring the groove. In the
course of construction, the next Sec
ton will be concreted against the

The United States collector of in
ternal revenue in New York reports
that the corporations are generally
responding to the requirements of the
new federal law calling for returns
az a basis for taxation. This is COM
mendable, and shows much better

at first. The best intelligence in cor
porate management is beginning to
realize and recognize that reasonable
restriction and regulation are equit-
able and in the public interest, and
managers are governing themselves

1t poisoned his life. When Eunice
touched his head lightly in passing
and smiled down into his uplifted eyes
he wondered. When she sang to her
self happily he pondered over whether
she would be so charming, care-free
and contented if he were a poor man
and she his wife. Did she not take
his devotion and all the material
things he lavished on her far too
casually. as II they were her right?
He remembered all kinds of things
as he went about brooding these days.
He remembered that Eunice had come
from home Of rigid poverty. The
cousin she was visiting when he had
met her had mentioned. carelessly,
that she always liked to give Eunice
treat once year, that the girl was
too beautiful to live and die in that
hole of town and marry some man
as poor as her father had been. Was
not that the same as saying she had
brought Eunice to the city in the hope
of her making a great match? And,
with all modesty, he was forced to ad-
NIT that she had made it. Had she
been party to the plot, or was she in
nocent? There were times when ELS
worth Ferry would have given all he
owned on earth to know, and they
were the times when his wife was at
her loveliest, was daringly coquetting
with her own husband, fascinating
him anew with her moods and graces.
There were other times when Eunice
withdrew into herself and he felt he
could not follow her-when her eyes
and lips. though they smiled at him,
held their seen IS. 1t made his heart
ache.
His fear and hurt gave him an odd
reluctance to intrude on her. He shut
himself up more in his library, leaving
her free and he was Queerly hurt that
she still greeted him smilingly and
made no comment. Well, if reliev-
ing her of his presence did not make
her unhappy. 1t should be conclusive
answer to his unspoken question.
Yet Ellsworth Ferry fought the con-
viction, clung to the remnant of his
old happy faith in her affection. Not

Whole Wheat Bread Cheese Sandwich

Cream cheese is still one of the fa-
vorites for sandwiches or crispy crack
ers, and many are the combinations
recommended. For those people who
dislike the sweet mixture, chopped
olives or capers may be used to en-
liyen the cheese. If 1t is to be served
on crackers, both the eye and the pal
ate may be satisfied If small golden
olives stuffed with pimentoes are
used. They should not be chopped
too fine. This is particularly good
paste to spread on thin buttered
slices of whole wheat, or even steamed
brown bread, provided the latter Is
not too moist.-Harper's Bazaar.

Seeding Peas.

Peas should be seeded early for the
best results, although good crops are
often secured from seeding as late as
the first week in June. The crop may
be harvested economically by cutting
the peas with a mower equipped with
a pea lifting attachment. The crop
must be thoroughly cured in small coy
cred punches before 1t Is stored.

Old Hardwood Floors.

Hardwood floors which have been
badly scratched or damaged must be
sandpapered and treated to a coating
of wax.
The wax must be allowed to dry
thoroughly before the floor is used.
Twenty-four hours is not long enough.
In the case of parquet flooring, it
will be necessary to scrape it first and
then coat with shellac.
If the floors are discolored where
they are not protected by rugs, the
scraping Or sandpapering will remedy
this also.
