CURIOUS WORK OF PENANCE
Ancient Buddhist Of Japan Writes
10000 Words on Piece Of Paper
13 by 7Ia Inches.

For some time there has been
shown in San Francisco a piece Of
paper IS inches by IN inches, on
which there are written 10000 words.
This writing is the work of Kobo
Taishi. Buddhist of Japan, who lived
1,100 years ago. Before his time his
countrymen used only Chinese char.
acters in writing and he evolved the
idea OF the Japanese alphabet.
The writing on the paper is SO fine
that microscope has to be used to
decipher the intricate Japanese char.
acters. 1t Is an exact copy of eight
books of the Buddhist Bible, and
was written by the author as sort Of
penance to purify his spirit. 1t Is the
property Of descendant Of the writer,
and has passed as sacred heirloom
from father to son for a thousand
years. Every precaution has been
taken to insure the safety of the
document. In case OF white wood 10
a beautiful laquered box wrapped in
green silk Within the laquered box
is another made Of very light porous
wood that is extensively used in the
manufacture of cabinets in which to
store treasures. In this box Is the
precious writing.

MINCE PIE FOR BREAKFAST
II Might Pay Those Who Declare It 10
Wrong to Try Il for
Awhile.

When our Puritan ancestors wished
to throw the last touch of cerulean
gloom into the blue laws they enacted
to wit: THAT no one shall make mince
pies, or play any instrument, except
the trumpet, drum, and jew's-harp." As
a means Of mortifying the flesh and
throwing damper on the joys of the
world this prohibition of mince pies
was ever regarded as more effective
than placing the aforementioned mu-
sical instruments in unskilled hands.
1t afforded almost as much quiet
pleasure to the early New England
conscience as refusing food and lodg-
ing Ito Quakers and other here
tics" :
When the reaction set in It follow.

swung just as far the other way.
The skill in the making of mince pies
became the very touchstone of good
citizenship. The recipes always emu
merated the brandy and the currants
and the raisins first, and then, as
sort Of afterthought, made casual men.
tion that little finely cut meat"
might improve the mince.
But the uncongenial environment un-
der which the mince pie was born left
upon 1t superstitious tradition that 1t
was not altogether wholesome. In
spite Of the increasing number Of peo.

prejudice obtains here and there unto
the present time.

HAWAII A GEM.

We have gotten into the habit of
thinking that Hawaii Is simply an
island upon which to spend money for
the United States. D. ]. Conlin, treas.
urer of the territory of Hawaii, who
was in Washington recently, produced
figures to show that Hawaii Is a real
revenue producer for the United
States. Mr.. Conlin declares that dur.
ing IL years since Hawaii has been
annexed to this country the island has
paid INTO the United States treasury
customs duties along nearly $15,O0O,-
600. The whole state of Washington.
with its great cities of Seattle and Ia
coma, has paid into the Golfers Of
Uncle Sam only $4,000 more in GUS
toms than the Hawaiian Islands. he
declares.
Last year Hawaii paid into the
Federal treasury duties and taxes
amounting to $1.772.S69, according to
a report made by Secretary Mac
Veagh. This is more than was paid
BY Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island. Delaware, South Caro-
lima. Georgia, Alabama. Mississippi.
Iowa. Colorado, Oregon, Montana,
Idaho, Wisconsin. Kansas and other
states and New Mexico, Arizona,
Alaska, Porto Rico or the Philippines.
In 1910 Hawaii ranked 18th in the
collection of customs. being excelled
only by New York. Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Maryland. Florida.
Louisiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois.
Missouri, California and Washington.
THE sources Of revenue in Hawaii
are similar to those of any Of the
states Customs duties form large
part of this revenue. The corpora
ton tax produced laat year $124,OO0
in Hawaii, and this year 1t will reach
several thousand more. These figures
merely go to show the Importance OF
the Hawaiian Islands to this country,
and their value compared with the
other insular possessions of the United
States"

old fishing skirt and started In to

way the head of 1t. If things went
awry It was for Miss Minnie to
straighten them out
That's a part Of the course at col

pretend that the family cook has quit
her Job to become a Sarah Bernhard.
and then have the girl students do
things They even have them tinker
at smoking kitchen ranges, and they
even have a papa rushing out Of the
house and saying ding-dong.
Another nice thing college does Is
to teach the girls how to hang out the
Monday wash to produce the most ar
tistic and picturesque effect on the
landscape for a mile around. There
are landscape artists and sculptors
and poets who don't know that It Is
against art and sentiment to pin
towel and a sheet side by side on
clothesline.
The kitchen was cleaned at last.
and then for the clothes! College
teaches the gentle art Of passing
washed clothes through a wringer
without making puddle on the floor
or bringing too great strain on the
foundations of the house. Miss Min

net" on the piano.
Then came the artistic part-the
hanging out And that's where Mr..
Arthur Gregg came In and got the
surprise of his life. He was walking
across the country from Cloverdale to
reach his mothers house, and think.
ing Of nothing particularly, when
three table napkins came flying at
him from somewhere. They were fol-
lowed by q bath towel and a pillow
slip. and he looked about him to dis
cover other things taking wing.
Mr.. Gregg was young man Just
entering upon the law, and after a
moments thought his legal mind
made him conclude that there was a
fountainhead near by whence all
these things came. He quickly traced
It to the rear of the Rivers house. He
appeared there with his arms full. He
found a wild-eyed maiden hanging to
q blowing, tapping clothesline, from
which some garment was escaping
every instant.
At college the students are taught
to hang out the wash only on quiet,
placid days, and this is an oversight
that the faculty should correct at
once. It brought trouble and confu-
sion to Miss Minnie. Flap and away
went napkin! Flap and away went
o sheet! Flap and away went q
towel! The gale was roaring. the

Because of this honor much senti-

SOME GREAT FIELD MEETINGS
Value of Summer Gatherings Has
Been Admirably Demonstrated
In Massachusetts, This Year.

The value of Grange summer Fleid
meetings, when held on good farm
rather than at some big lake or shore
resort, has been admirably demon
strated in Massachusetts this year. IN
a series Of such meetings that breaks
all records of interest and attendance
in that state, There were twenty
three meetings in the series and Win
two or three exceptions all were held
on welltilled farms Of the state, where
something was to be learned by see-
ing as we'll as by listening In many
cases improved methods. modern ma
cbinery and intensive farm cultiva-
tion were greatly In evidence ana
much that was new and valuable was
carried away from the trip The
speaking was all Of high order ana
the crowds which gathered were en-
thusiastic and wideawake Rain IN
terfered with the attendance on sew
eral occasions particularly at New
buryport, where perfect deiuso
flooded that entire section.
In order that better idea may DO
had of this series Of field meetings,
when held on Massachusetts farms,
table is given below Of the various
meetings, with the attendance AZ
each, as we'll as the number OF diner

PepsIn.


The introduction of pepsin as r.
medal agent effected complete revo-
luton in the method Of restoring to
normal the ailments which in the old
days were classed in a group as dys'
pepsia.
If physicians were to observe anni'
versaries of the discovery of remedies
which had proved a blessing to man
kind the entire profession would unite
In remembering the fiftieth anniver
sary Of the first manufacture Of pepsin
in this country.
Just half century ago the late John
Carrick, the eminent physiological
chemist and the father Of physiological
products in the United States, made
possible a new epoch in American
medicine by producing the first pepsin.
Pepsin had been made in a small
way in Europe before Mr.. Carrick's
enterprise caused 1t to be introduced
here, as 1t was originally suggested
by DR.. Corvisant Of Paris. The quail
ity was so poor, however, that its use
was distinctly limited.

the Connecticut, the difference is not
sufficient to cause change In the
flagship. The Wyoming and its twin,
the Arkansas, will be the greatest
vessels afloat
According to the present schedule
the Wyoming will be finished July 2,
1912, and the Arkansas April 10 next
year. They will be- commissioned and
ready for active service few months
later.
A valuable lesson for use in war has
been drawn by the naval experts from
the report that the dreadnaught Della
ware through mistake fired at the re-
pair ship Panther instead of the old
battleship San Marcos in the ordnance
experiments in Chesapeak Bay.
The fact that the Delaware lost Its
target and pointed its gun at vessel
anchored 1900 yards from the San
Marcos demonstrates, 1t Is claimed.
that a ship in battle will not be able
to center its fire upon any particular
vessel of the enemy at the great range
at which any future combats will be
waged-say 10000 yards.

Bear Hunters Mistake.

A telegram from St. Colombian des
Villas, in the Savoy, reports that the
villagers were thrown into state OF
great alarm by the appearance Of a
large bear on the edge of the village.
1t was looking for something to eat,
and a general raid by the animal on
all the live stock In the place was
feared.
The men sailed forth to hunt the
bear and the women locked them
selves and the children In the
houses. After a time the bear was
surrounded and shot as he was trot-
ting up to the men. The intrepid
hunters dragged the carcass to the
village and skinned 1t, distributing
portions of the skin as souvenirs OF
the adventure and dividing the flesh
for home consumption.
Great rejoicings were going on
when the owner of the bear arrived,
and on hearing of the fate Of his pet
stated that 1t was a pet performing
animal, and that he would sue the
village for compensation for the loss
OF his means Of livelihood.

and he'd be dinged, and he'd be
donged, and the nervous Mrs. Rivers.
who couldn't help his dreams OF
shorn lambs and oversleeping, was
taken with a headache and couldn't
get up to breakfast.
II she had got up matters would
have been worse. There was high
wind blowing, and the kitchen range
smoked, and the cook threatened to
quit, and the woman who had washed
the day before, but not hung out the
clothes, sent snub-nosed boy to say
that she had rheumatism In her
shoulder and couldn't come that day.
Miss Minnie Rivers, daughter OF
the house. might have swallowed her
fork as she ate her smoky breakfast
and made things worse-but she
didn't She made them worse by In
terviewing the cook and suggesting
that she should get the clothes out
on the line to dry and look for her
reward In that land popularly sup
posed to be beyond the sky and not
yet approached by the aviator.
Then the gale outside and inside the
house sensibly increased In intensity.
In fact, the cook blew out with her
bundle, and then blew into distance,
1t was the last straw for which she
had been waiting. Other cooks had
gone on the stage and made fame as
actresses, and why not she!

ting her teeth and hanging on ioi
dear life when Mr.. Gregg appeared.
Did Mr.. Gregg, with lot OF damp
garments pressed to his beating heart,
stop and introduce himself to Miss
Minnie Rivers, hanging on to the
swaying lines with both hands and
feeling that all was lost? He didn't.
He threw etiquette and the conven-
tionalities to the dogs. and brought
his legal lore to bear on the main
issue.
He saw at once that the lines were
stretched across the path of the gale.
In five minutes he had united them
from the posts and stretched them
the other way, and there was de-
cided cession of the fiappety-nap.
Then he ran here and there to gather
up the estrays, which must 60 back
to the rinsing tub. He had only &C.
complished this when he noticed
smoke pouring from the open kitchen
door. He entered to find that the
cook had left the hampers SO as to
make smoke house Of the place, but
a twist of the wrist made things all
right. College teaches nothing about
stove dampers. That is a thing to
be learned by red-eyed experience.
As he stepped out doors again an
old hen and half dozen chickens
emerged from the coop to take
saunter. The gale caught them up
and away they went, but Mr.. Gregg
was after them and they were
brought back in good shape and with
gentle hand. Then he tightened one
of the lines a little more. refastened
sheet that wanted to be star
spangled banner, and with a careful
look at the chimney of the house ne
1ifted his hat and resumed his jour-
ney.
Miss Minnie was looking after him
when the mother appeared at the
back door and said:
my headache is little better.
What's happened?"
"Why, it's blowing gale. and lot
of the clothes blew off the line
"And who was that young man!
why, he blew along in with the
gale and helped me-"
college doesn't teach 1t just that
way. The girls pick 1t up after they
have graduated. To blow. along
means to arrive in hurry-to ar
rive in a gale-to arrive just IN
time to be of assistance to a damsel
in distress.)
did he fix those lines?" asked the
mother.
Yes"
and pick up all those things?"
"Yes"
And what did you do?'
81 Just hung on and grinned."
Minnie Rivers, how could you do
1t! | didn't get fair sight OF him.
but I'm almost sure that Is Arthur
Gregg, only son and heir OF the
widow Gregg. Why-why. whatll he
think of you? What'll his proud
mother say? don't believe you even
thanked HIM"
Il know / didn't" was the reply,
81 was hanging on to that damask
tablecloth with all my might"
And you are most twenty years
old, and your father and | were hop
ing"
And then the gale blew the mother
in and no more was said.
Three days later, when the winds
roared no more, and there was no
more fappety-flap along the clothes
lines, Miss Minnie and Mr., Gregg sat
in the parlor and talked and laughed
and joked like good friends. And
that evening the wife whispered to
the husband:
Wouldn't 1t be funny II Cupid had
planned 1t out?"
Cant tell about Cupid was the
answer, but you'd better hustle for
another cook If you expect me home
every night"
