WHY MEAT ROSE IN MARCH.
showing of Reduced Receipts at PrI-
mary Markets,

Philadelphia Press
The March advance in meat has its ex-
planation in February receipts of live
stock At the seven primary interior mar
kets, across from Chicago to Omaha. these
receipts were only 2763. .2O4 head This il
10 per cent below 1910 and rs per cent below
10 per cent below 1903 and 25 per cent below
the average of the last five years. Shin
ments of packing house products for two
months were a fifth below the five years'
average, and canned meats, shipped in two
months, were 6,1Ol,6b0 pounds, when in
1906 they were 8O l5s, 400 pounds, and no one
thought them large then.
Shipments as small as these cut off
the supply OF meat at its source. The
United States is producing more people and
less meat, and meat naturally rises.
1t will not fall until the meat product
Increases or imports begin. Even in A.
state like this the production Of meat is far
below what II might be with improved
methods in breeding and feeding. Not over
half the area Of this state is under the piow
and there is great area which would
offer room for cattle, sheep and hogs

WASHINGTON LIFE.

A seat in the United states senate has
ever been a greater magnet for the am
billions than a seat in the house OF repre-
sentatives. Yet some people are mystfied
by the reason which impel members Of the
house to strive and scheme for senatorial
brogans. A six-year term appeals to an
economical congressman, who is Obliged
TO dig up" for campaign expenses every
two years and keep his political fences in
repair between elections. Doubtless there
are greater opportunities for fame in the
smaller body. Besides the title Senator"
makes a more Impressive mouthful and is
sweeter music to the ears then the com
monplace Congressman" But there are
anurements which the initiated only know
and have such a personal pull that the
congressman can scarcely glance at the
south wing OF the capital, without letting
20 a sigh for hope yet unreslised. What
these little-known attractions are a Wash
ington correspondent Of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer explains with interesting de-
tails. Listen TO the secret: About the
only thing e senator and a congressman
have in common is the amount OF their
salaries Each draws $500 a year. Aside
from that every effort is made to give
the congressman to understand that thiy
are nothing but bunch Or choremen,
along side OF senators, and to make sena-
tors happy and contented with their lot.
For instance A man brings around
dozen bottles Of Apollinaris and White
Rock waters to each senator's office every
morning. II the senator should find that
dozen isn't enough, all he has to do
is to drop a remark to tnat effect and
the order will be increased Does con-
gresham get consignment OF fancy bot
tied water at his door each morning? No,
little one, but he can stroll into anyone
Of a number Of pleasant places and get
the same thing for a mere Is cents split.
SO there's no occasion for him getting
peeved about It.

Let's see Oh yes, here's the best one
yet It's a block or so from the house
office building, where the congressman
stay when they're doing up seeds to
send home, over to the house itself The
two are connected by an underground
tunnel-a subway. The senate office
building, which is about an equal dis
tance from the senate, is also connected
by a tunnel All congressman has to
do on a rainy day or a sunshiney day,
s to 60 down into the tunnel and walk
from one building TO another. If he de-
slres TO ride through this subway thing
he might be able 20 arrange with some
boy 10 wheel him in a toy express

ators to walk. The government has

frequent trips back and forth through
the subway TO prevent any such needless
senatorial exertion The automobile Is

these senatorial congressional distinc-
tions.

The daughter of Kashi lwamoto

After four or five years other women
became interested in newspaper work
and to-day many are employed as sps-
cial writer's, as reporters and as edi-
tors of departments for women.
These are but a few Of the women
writer's of Japan. They are sufficient
to illustrate however, the fact that
the japanese woman is a creature of
considerable reserve mental force and
of intense feeling. Under the new re-
gime only was It possible for her to
make these facts known to the out
side world since the old teaching con-
strained her to keep hidden every
feeling, every thought, that she might
develop a more Spartan-like charac-
ter capable Of enduring great sacri-
flee when sacrifice should Come-as
II did in the lives Of many Japanese
women. 1t was not an accident that
the Japanese soldiers repulsed the
larger men of the Fussian army.
They were the sons Of mothers whose
discipline through thousands of years
had well nigh reached perfection,
whose wits were sharpened by con-
slant contact with domineering hus,

1t is an unhappy fact that the Jap
anese literature loses It's artistic
beauty and its real strength when
translated into foreign languages.
This is probably due to the fact that
the Japanese student is still strug.

tongues and is not as yet capable OF
