In Japan there are people who make
sham confessions in order to obtain a
period of the comparative warmth and
comfort of a japanese prison. The
Japan Mail says: 1.-The police slang
of the capital has words to describe
and distinguish these persons. 'Meshi-
kui,' or the rice criminal. will steal
some small article from shop front
in such way as to be seen doing it..
He then makes a bolt of it, pursued by
the master of the shop, or some faith
full kozo, but presently allows himself
to be caught and handed to the po-
lice He has to do time for his pre-
tended theft, but his rice is secured
for a period, and when that period has
elapsed be will allow himself to be
caught again.
1.-The 'unandon.' or eel bowl criminal,
is wilier than the one just mentioned.
He does not actually commit a crime.
such as will put him into the convict
side of the prison. but allows himself
to be found looking in suspicious
places, underneath the broad verandas
of temple. or in the garden of a pri-
vate house He gets into prison all
right but he secures the more generous
treatment of the house of detention.

''The .'kuruma' is criminal who
makes a sham confession in order to
sneak a free railway ride. The Asasi

AFTER THE TEMPEST.
The Genial Calm That Settled Over the
Pretty Schooma'am.

A pretty schoOlma'am once taught
school in Long Island village, All
the young fellows for miles around
were mad about her, but the school
ma'am was proud, and none Of the
boys seemed to stand the ghost of q
chance.
Young Jim Brown. the judges son
was the best looking chap in the
town, and Jim probably loved the
schoolma'am more than any Of hel
other SWANS, but he never had the
pluck to declare himself. He felt toe
small and mean before the beauty and
learning Of the schoolma'am. But one
day, the schoolma am being away on
q visit in New York state, Jim asked
advice of the editor. The editor said:
'Take the bull by the horns and in
sert an announcement Of your forth
coming marriage in my society col
umn. 1t will cost you only 80 cents
So Jim inserted an announcement to
the effect that the schoOlma'am and
he would be married the next montl!
and would spend their honeymoon at
Atlantic City,
Well, a short time after this an.
nouncement appeared the schoolma am
came back home. Jim heard on all
sides how furious she was. For sew
eral days he kept away from her
Then one afternoon as she was com
ing home from school he ran plump
into her in the lane.
She let him know at once what she
thought of him and his outrageous
conduct. She stormed and raved, and
her pretty eyes flashed fire. Jim stood
first on one foot and then on the 9th
er, and finally he blurted out:
"Well, if you don't like it can have
the announcement contradicted."

ma'am "It's too late now."-Wash.

HeIp For the Electrician,

If you are ever puzzled in working
with electric wires as to which is posi-
tive and which is negative or whether
the current is alternating there is no
simpler method than the use of po-
tato. Cut the vegetable in half and
insert the ends of the wire into the
fresh body. About the positive wire a
green stain will at once appear. due to
dissolved copper. If the current is al
ternating the ends of both wires will
be surrounded by dark colored stains.
