drens' Aid society took place Friday
os last week. Fifteen of these home.
less children We're in the company,
eight boys and seven girls whose
ages ranged from two to fourteen
years.
The New York Childrens' Add So
ciety Is one o. the Oldest institutions
OF the kind in existence and has been
doing this kind Of work for over six
ty years. The children which they
fine homes for are taken from the
different orphan asylums in New
York City. The children are all
known and the names Of the parents
and history OF each child is furnished
to the adopting parties. No chill =
eren are taken opt that have any dis
eases. TX
The society chooses the smaller
towns over the country for their
work, Manchester being about the
largest place where children are
distributed.
Persons desiring children have to
send in an application to commit
tee composed OF prominent citizens
who look up the character and stand
ing Of the requesting party and if
everything is found satisfactory the
child desired is given to them. A
representative of the society visits
the home twice during the first six
months of the child's residence
there and every six months following
until the child is eighteen years OF
age. IT anything is found wrong or
the child is not being properly cared
for the society reserves the right TO
remove it. Adoption of the child
may be made after a residence of
six months.
The aid society placed children in
Manchester twenty years ago and
many OF them have grown into our
most useful citizens. The children
brought this year were all very pret-
ty, pleasing little folks and they won
the hearts of all and no trouble was
found in securing homes for them.

and people were unable to find re-
lief from the intense heat Of over
100 ddegrees. Early the following
morning the temperature dropped ovs
sixty degrees. The temperature rises

HARVESTING SEASON.

y The haying and harvesting season
Of 1912 is proving one Of the richest
IN the history Of Delaware county.
The hay and small grain ranks in the
supsrfine grade. One farmer reports
that the hay on his land was so
heavy that he was unable to rake
It but picked it up with the hay
loader from the swaths left by the
mower. Most of the hay has been
put up and the farmers are now
busy with the small grain. The rain
Of last week greatly benefited the
pastures, corn and late potatoes.

Georqe Junior Republic.

The George Junior Republic is q
community established in 1895, near
Freeville, New York, by W. r. George
as a method OF reform in the treat
ment of dependent and deliquent
children. The organization is similar
to that of a miniature republic. 1t
has q constitution based upon that Of
the United States, and the government
of the community is carried on in the
same way. At first the founder was
president with other adults holding the
most important offices, but from 1896
all offices have been held by citizens.
Each citizen may work for the founder
or for other citizens who contract for
labor. All purchases are made with
the republics aluminium coin, later
redeemed by United States currency.
School is held and farming, carpentry,
printing, care Of the establishment,
dressmaking, domestic service and
cookery are the other activities fol.
lowed. The entrance age Is from
twelve to eighteen.

Ianannsa Custom.

A common complaint made by
tourists in Japan Is that they are
obliged to pay for everything far high.
er prices than the natives are charged;
or, in other words, that because they
are foreigners, they are fleeced. But
a glance at the social conditions by
which the people have been educated
would reveal the curious fact that
throughout Japan's long period OF iso-
tion 1t was an accepted principle that
the rich must live for the sake of the
poor, and prices have always been
based upon the purchasers rank in
society or upon his presumed ability
to pay. This understanding remains
largely in force today, being fully rec
ognized and acted upon by all favored
classes throughout the empire. The
occidental coming from lands where
the reverse practically holds good
the poor living for the sake OF the
rich naturally complaints Of being
robbed. as from his point Of view he
really is; but 1t is not because he Is
foreigner, but because, being tour
list. he is presumably wealthy, and
must, therefore, conform to the custom
Of the country which permits the poor
to levy tax upon the rich without
thereby incurring the slightest imputa.

GAUDY FUNERALS IN BURMAH
With Ballet and Band the Rich Bur.
mese Are Paraded to Their
Tombs.

They have gorgeous funerals In
Rangoon, the capital of Burmah, India.
When a rich Buman is buried, for In
stance, the funeral procession might be
compared to the street parade of some
circus. First comes kind of ballet
of Burmese in bright colored silks,
dancing the widest kinds of contor'
tions, anything but graceful. Next
there is the hearse, drawn by several
black horses. Oddly enough, in some
cases it will be huge black English
hearse with attendants in black and
white girdles, instead of the usual
gaudy Burmese hearse, with its mod
els of dancers and race horses. Fol
lowing this brass band will blare out
some lively tune, to which the ballet
can dance. the whole being about as
appropriate to the solemnities OF such
an occasion as would be a dirge to en-
liven a bridge-whist party.
Stringing along after the band will
be a mile more or less, OF oX-carts
with quaint tops of colored mating,
each crowded with gay mourners'
who are provided with no end OF re-
freshments. A big Burman in brilliant
pink silk and carrying large fan us
ually plays the part of master OF cere'
monies. his chief duty being to see
that all are happy AS companion he
will have a muscular chap bearing a
huge case of bottles containing drinks
for the whole party. Luckily, since
dead men tell no tales it is also true
that they find no fault; and so these
grotesque funerals are never inter
rupted by the box occupants in whose
honor the spectacles are arranged.
