Female Workers of Japan

From the Success Magazine.
 The Japanese are progressing so rapidly on the job of getting civilized that they can already boast a system of child la bor that can put even our august insti- tutions to shame. According to Dr. Ku- wada, a member of the Japanese house of Peers, more than two-thirds of the O00,0 ,0O0 factory hands are women and children With no laws to fear or evade, the mill owners are employing 10000 chil- dren under the age of IA. In the match and tobacco industries particularly, the work is for the most part done by chill dren and of those many are under 10 years of age.
 In the spinning mills these child work CTS are often compelled to continue at their tasks at night without receiving extra pay or chance for rest. For dis obedience of shop rules they are bar bariously dashed and fined, this latter inn position usually wiping out their meager wages.
 Most of these girls are recruited from the poor rural districts by agents who lure them on with fascinating tales or icty life. The ignorant parents, persuad- ed that the city will afford their daugh- ters greater opportunity for education and refinement, offer up their children to an existence from which few live to return and these broken in health and morals

To Make Farm Hands Content

From the Philadelphia Times.
 The phonograph has been pitted against the moving picture in unique effort to solve the problem of the high cost of living and to encourage the movement back to the farm.
 The Missouri granger has figured out that 1t is the lure of the cinemato- graph which has made hired hands so scarce on the farm that $30 a month fails to keep them.
 He has, therefore, taken the .phono- graph seriously, and in great num- bers.
 Rural life is to become one grand, sweet song. When the weary son of toll gets through a strenuous day in the cornfield he can go home and bathe his soul in the rippling measures of Mendelssohn and be happy.
 After day in the new ground let razzini will sing him lullaby
 It is expected that in a few months he will look forward to that phono- graphic concert as of more importance than the evening meal.
 The wicked wiles of the city win cease to-dance before his vision.
 The crude melodramas $ projected on the shimmering screens of the moving |picture shows Will no longer stir the Fwanderlust In his veins.

WEIRD TALE OF THE
 PICKEREL'S REVENGE

the dogs on sight, They've cost me the landing of the boss pickerel of Big Pond.
 You might say that a nice, fat, juicy lot of venison ought to have been ample remuneration for the loss of pickerel. even if 1t was one of enormous size, and so 1t would if something hadn't happened I was hauled up for killing a deer out of season, and had to shell out $25 for doing 1t. And they took the deer away from me at that.
 "'It's too ding bad that pickerel didn t know what you run away from him for!'
 said Jack Kimbe and all of the old time back of Lackawack citizens sympatheti- l cally He'd "a waited for you, sure as ice a-freezin, and had the fight out with l you. and that'd been worth every cent that onfort'nit doe cost you, and more | too.'
 Anyhow, lime went along, and the | next summer I was up along the inlet of Big Pond, where the --.y pads were thick est, skittering on the edge of 'em. I had skittered three or four tolerable good ones onto my string when all of sudden I got strike that came near jerking me into the pond.
 "The old fellow that made the strike struck for keeps, and had a tussle with him up and down along the lilies and zig gag and criss-cross in and out of 'em for a good quarter of an hour before the pickerel felt that he had done what he could to make the fight lively and gave up.
 "I was pretty we'll tuckered and 1t was some time before I got to take a critical look at my capture, although 1 knew that 1t was a pickerel that was going just about to beat the record for Big Pond. I had great start as l looked him over by and by, for in his upper jaw was | a big fishhook, and it didn't take me | a second to recognize that hook as the one that big pickerel had lost fishing through the ice had taken away with him. I had landed the pickerel I had | lost, and I felt so good over it that be- | lieve that if the two dogs that forced me to the rescue of the doe that day had come along just then I wouldn't have shot 1 em.
 "'Same pickere.' said Jack Kimble. Same old feller. And I ain't goin to say 1 that it's likely that he heerd about the reason you run away from him last win ] ter, and jest come along this summer and let you have 1t out with him after all, but | 1t looks that way to mel
 And all the old-time citizens of back
 of Lackawack said so it did to them.
 Nothing in it of course, but the pickerel I weighed six pounds and ounces, and no one has ever caught as big one in Big 1 Pond since-nor lost one." q

transformation the priceless frescoes were much damaged. Parts of them were re- moved by wanton hands. and others were submitted to the indignity of whtewash. The finest, however-scenes descriptive of the lives of saints-have escaped the van dals. being situated in a chapel somewhat removed from the main apartments
 Restoration is going on-restoration of a wise and careful sort. The frescoes are re-appearing under the plaster casting, al- most in their primitive freshness, and each day the new gothic beauties of a doorway or a window are unveiled. The palace is no longer a barracks, but has a gain become palace for the people.

Minus the People

From the Metropolitan Magazine
 Some weeks ago two pretty little girls of six and seven years old heard a party of older people discussing skeletons. The six-year-old lass listened intently to the conversation, when the elder girl, with an air of superior knowledge, said abruptly:
 You don't know what a skeleton is, and I do.''
 ''So do T." sharply replied the youn- ger. T do knowl" I know for certain, l dol"
 Well, what Is it? the elder wanted to know.
 Why, it's bones with the people of. that's what it is.
