BOOK
HARD TIMES IN JAPAN.

The semi-official Japan Times gives
pitiful account of the miseries
throughout the country caused by the
increased cost of commodities. Masses
of people, always on the border line
of starvation, have been forced over
the line by the elasticity of prices
and the rightly OF pay. The labor
ing men cannot support their families
with the scanty wages they get. The
little storekeepers find it impossible
TO balance their ledgers with the cred
1t ahead OF the debit, and are uni
versally discouraged by dull business.
At homes their wives need money and
their children are simply crying aloud
from starvation The hard-pressed
and miserable husbands go out in the
morning TO search for work, and many
of them never return again at night"
The results are similar to thos in
other countries. Crime has vastly in
creased; so has suicide; and the coun-
try is rent by labor Quarrels and
strikes. In the arsenals alone there
are 10000 men clamoring for increased
pay.-Argonaut.

Army Officers on Detached DUTY to Be Removed

it requires that any officer responsible
for failure to obey it to the full
shall forfeit his pay and allowances.
Consequently every officer who has
not served at least two of the last six
years in command Of troops will have
to return to his regiment before De
cember 10. 1t has also been found by
the law officers of the war department
that about third more of the officers
on detached service will have to be
removed within six months. A large
number of officers or detached duty
in Washington are caught pretty Sc
verely by this order
1t is said that there are officers who
have not been with their commands
for years, as they have had pull
enough to keep them in easy Jobs here
in Washington. where they can do
their stunts and not half try, and fill
in the rest Of the time doing society
acts

army and navy officers is mighty slow.
There has always been feminine in
fiuence to keep plenty of the young
men on detached duty in Washington

According to the figures compiled

MEREDiTH'S POETRY.

There is no doubt that into the
poems went the most of Meredith S
message" however we dis Ike
the word, Meredith most emphatically
had a message. There is little in the
novels to compare with the down
right doctrine of the poems; it is in
them that his words have most con-
spicuously the zeal of the man who
dare not cease from believing that the
labors of his brain are meant for the
good of his kind. One may assume
that the pregnant and earnest teach
ing which Meredith packed (some-
what tightly packed) into his poetry
is pretty well known to the cultivated
nowadays. Be strong, is his favorite
word; whatever other virtues may be
desirable, the prime necessity for a
man, if he is to profit by life, and still
more If life is TO profit by him, is
strength-spiritua strength. And it
is from Mother Earth man is to draw
his strength; from whole-hearted and
loving acceptance of earth.-Lascelles

COUNTRY GIRLS CHARM.

Every girl has her own particular
charm, but certainly the country girl
possesses some extra specially be-
quilting ones.
To begin with, she is so much
younger than her town sister-for all
that the years may declare different
ly So infinitely fresher in mind, as
she Is roster in complexion and
brighter of eyes. Amusements that
have ceased to be amusements to the
town dweller fill her with keenest en-
joyment. Perhaps 1T is in delicious
and frankly displayed JOY of life that
the country girl most excels.
Her tongue may be less ready, her
general appearance less smart than if
she had grown among brick walls and
shop windows, but the country girls
bright face takes all hearts by storm
and the gentle friendliness that is the
inevitable result of country neighbor-
illness makes friends for her wherever
she goes.

CLOVES.

Gloves, which are used to good ad-
vantage in preserving fruits, are the
hower-budS of tree that usually at
tains height of between 90 and 40
feet, with a beautiful pyramidal head
OF foliage. The leaves are large, of
an oblong shape. and evergreen The
flowers are small. but very abundant.
The leaves, flowers and bark of the
Glove tree possess a strong aromatic
perfume.
The ripe fruit of this tree is shaped
like a small olive. 1t is sometimes
dried and used by the natives, as are
also the broken fruit stalks, but the
flower buds are the most valuable part
of the tree. They are gathered at the
proper season, and dried in the sun.
The tree is a native of the Spice
islands, but Is also cultivated in SUI
matra, and some other parts Of the
West Indies The oil of cloves is use
full in medicine, being often added to
