oiIing Japanese Umbrellas.


 The vegetable oil used in making pa per umbrellas in Japan is pressed out of the seeds of the rubber plant. This oil is made in the various islands fla nous for oil and seeds from these plants. Sandy ground is favored for the cultivation of the plant. The yield of seeds is estimated at twenty bush els Der acre. The annual production throughout Japan amounts to 35O,OOO bushels, from which over a gallon of oil per bushel is extracted. The oil, before it is used, is boiled and then cooled until it can be applied by hand to umbrellas with piece of cloth or waste. No machinery or tools are used in applying the oil. When the oiling is completed the umbrellas are exposed in the sun for about five hours. This oil is also used in mak- ing the Japanese lanterns, artificial leather, printing ink, lacquer, varnish- es, oil paper and paints.

Who Should Love Most, Man or Wife?

wv HIGH should love most
M the husband or the wifef
w or course, the real an
swer to this question is, neither.
Both husband and wife should
bring to the holy estate every bit
Of devotion of which they are ca
pable. The ideal marriage Is one
in which man and woman alike
love. and are loved to the very
measure Of their desire; In which
they give with lavishness that
knows no stint and receive with
a generosity that has no bounds.
Unfortunately however, this
dream of perfect mutual love rare
ly materializes in actual life. and
It is only too true that with the
great majority of married couples
the loving is a pretty one-sided af-
fair. One kisses-and the other
permits himself, or herself. to be
kissed, as a French cynic aptly
puts 1t.
In one family we see a wife
breaking the alabaster casket OF
her love and burning the Incense
Of her devotion at the feet OF
man who is so Indifferent that he
scarcely troubles to throw a kind
glance in her direction as one
might toss a bone to a hungry dog.
In other homes we see a great
souled man lavishing a splendid
devotion on q heartless and selfish
woman. We see him toiling like
a slave to deck her in fine clothes
and make life soft and easy for her.
We see him guarding her with his
life. euveloping her with a divine
tenderness, always standing be
tween her and the hardships OF
life-and she takes all OF this won
derful love as no more than her
due. with never a word of thanks
or sign OF appreciation.
Since tAis Is the case sad few

affections. Moreover, men do not
probe into their emotions, nor
dwell on them. and so, II mans
wife is agreeable and pleasant and
makes him good home. he's Just
as fond of her and as happy with
her as II she had been the original
maiden of his dreams. Generally,
he's a good deal happier than he
would be If he were married to a
woman who kept him always on
the anxious seat trying to please
her.
lnasmuch as practically every
woman spends her life seeking love
II is paradoxical to say that she
is happier in giving love than
in receiving 1t.
But such is the case. 1t is a
misfortune for woman never to
have been loved, but it is
tragedy to her never to love.
The great argument In favor Of
giving women the right to select
their own mates is that the woman
who marries. the man she wants
is always satisfied and contented,
whereas the woman who Is forced
to take the man she can get rather
than the one she prefers is always
dissatisfied and restless, no matter
what a paragon he may be.
The woman who loves is invari.
ably a good wife, because she not
only finds her greatest pleasure
in ministering to her husband, but
she is always breaking her neck
trying to please him. She is for
ever on her good behavior because
she is forever wooing him.
No other wife on earth is such
a husband spoller as the woman
who knows that she loves her
husband better than he does her.

Franklin's Birth May Have
Delayed Mothers
DEVELOPMENT.

History does not tell us, but It e
possible the mother of Benjamin
Franklin felt that her own personal
plans were upset and that her ind.
vidual development was DELAYED
when she found that her family OF
fifteen children was to be made six.
teen.
But it Is questionable if any WorE
she could have achieved would have
benefited the world to the extent /.
was benefited by the life of her son
Benjamin Franklin.
There was once a mother who sac
rifced every personal ambition and
all her desire for pleasure and
travel and social enjoyment to her
ambition for her children.
She wanted her daughters and
sons to have all possible ADVANTAGES.
and as the family means we're lin.
tied she gave up her own individual
longings to enable her children to
crafty their tastes.
But there was seldom a wesk
passed in which this mother failed
to tell her family of her sacrifices.
and she thought so much about Il
that she developed the most morbid
phase Of self pity and enjoyed moth
ing so much as being regarded as a
martyr to duty.
It would have been better for the
family and for this woman had she
carried out her own ambitions and
aims and maintained a happy and
cheerful disposition.
II would have resulted IN better
c@nGitions for all concerned.

one he has pursued and captured
himself.
Nor need the woman be afraid
to take her end of the unequal
matrimonial bargain, for she will
be so busy and occupied with her
own affections that she won't have
time to observe any lack In the
mans. After all, 1t really doesn't
matter what you get in matri-
mony If it's what fires your fancy.
It's merely a matter of taste.
If either the husband or the wife
shall love the better, 1t is for the
good Of the family that it shall
be the wife. No man can make a
happy and comfortable home.
That rests with the woman. II
woman does not love her husband
she makes a home that is full Of
Quarrels and spats. of complaining
and repining, of restlessness and
dissatisfaction. Unconsciously she
teaches her children disrespect for
their father and lack of affection
for him. On the other hand, the
woman who is passionately de-
voted to her husband makes
home that IS full of rest and peace,
and her children grow up to rev.
erence and respect their father.
Also biologists teach US that a
woman's love for her husband de-
termines to q great extent the
quality, mental and physical. of
the children she bears, so that
love children are proverbially
handsomer and more talented
than the little unfortunates that
are born Of hatred or Indifference.
Undoubtedly if either one should
love the more it is the woman:
but the pity OF it all is that all love
should not be equally great. and
that for the golden coin of our
hearts we should so often get
back base msLal.

There was a lively demand for

sold 10 for $35 each, total of $525.
With this amount, which he charac-

last summer in Ashland and camping
in the Dead Indian country.

years later he assumed the presi-
dency and was at the head of the
institution until the time of his
death, though for the past few years
most of the detail had been in the
hands of c. II. Vaupel, Vice-president,
and l.. l.. Multi, cashier.
