Ways of the Japanese.

The thick straw mats are the only
furniture needed in Japanese house.
They are three by six feet in size and
take the place of tables, beds and
chairs. The house Is never heated. In
winter the people put on thick, wadded
kimonos, sit on their feet and hold
their hands over little charcoal bra
zier. For recreation they go out to the
family burying ground to worship the
spirits of their ancestors or to a shrine
to see the cherry blossoms. If earth
quakes, which are as common there as
thunderstorms here. shake down the
little houses or they are swept away
by the fires that proverb says sweep

brown folks only smile and murmur

A Fiery Speech.

William O'Brien in his "Recollec-
tons" gives this picture of Timothy
Healy's first appearance in parliament:
"a quarter of an hour after he took
his seat as member for Wexford he
started up to make his maiden speech
tiny of frame. sardonic of visage, his
hands in his breeches pockets. as cool
ly insolent as Partisan gamin, as en-
tirely detestable as a small Diogenes,
peering over the rims of his pincenez
as from his tub. through bilious eyes
over his contemplate audience-and
Mortified the house of commons with
the following eXordium: Mr.. Speaker,
If the noble marquis darlington
thinks he is going TO bully us with his
high and mighty Cavendish ways. all
can tell him is he will find himself
knocked into cooked hat in a jiffy,
and we will have to put him to the
necessity of wiping the blood of all
the Cavendishes from his noble nose q
good many times before he disposes
of u.s."

Calves In Summer.

When calves are born in the spring
it is better to keep them housed dur
ing the summer than to turn them out
to grass to fight the flies and to with
stand the hot rays Of the sun, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Calves raised in a
clean, shaded barn will do much bet
ter. At very early age the calves
consume very little, if any. grass. The
ideal way is to have the calves born in
September and October The first few
months of calf's life it requires con-
siderable personal attention, and dur
ing the winter months especially there
is more time to devote to the stock
than in the busy summer months.
When spring comes the calf is six or
seven months old and can be turned to
pasture to advantage. 1t is past the
period when it needs very much close
attention If the grass is good and
plenty of water supplied, the calf will
largely look after itself.

THE PLAIN OF MARATHON.
Modern Aspect of the Famous Old
Greek Battlefield.

Greece, though sparsely inhabited. is
in the main very cheerful looking
country. The loneliness of much of it
is not depressing, the baroness of much
of it is not sad | began to understand
this on the day when | went to the
plain of Marathon. which fortunately
lies away from railroads. One must go
there by carriage or motor or on
horseback. The road is bad both for
beasts and machinery. but it passes
through country which is typical of
Greece and through which it would be
foolish to go in haste.
Go quietly to Marathon. spend two
hours there, or more, and when you re-
turn in the evening to Athens you will
have tasted a new joy. You will have
lived for little while in an exquisite
pastoral-a pastoral through which. it
is true, no pipes of Pan have fluted to
you; l heard little music in Greece
but which has been full of that light
ness, brightness, simplicity and delica-
cy peculiar to Greece. The soil of
the land is light and, believe, though
Hellenes have told me that in this
am wrong, that the heart of the PEG,
pie is light. Certainly the heart OF
one traveller was as he made his way
TO Marathon along a white road thick,
ly powdered with dust.-Robert HIGH
ems in Century Magazine.

ALFALFA AS A MILK MAKER.
Compares FavorabIy With Timothy,
Cottonseed Meal, Wheat Bran, Etc.

Cottonseed Meal, Wheat Bran, Etc.
An Illinois experiment station test
showed that with an acre yield Of four
tons Of alfalfa hay and one and one
half tons of timothy, the timothy worth
$40 per ton. an acre of alfalfa was
worth $6S.44 more than an acre of
timothy in milk production under the
conditions of the experiment and with
milk at $1.30 per 100 pounds.
The New Jersey station concludes
that in feeding value three pounds of
alfalfa are equivalent to one of cotton
seed meal. Where alfalfa was tested
against wheat bran and dried brewers
grain the saving in cost of milk was
1871 cents per 100 and % cents per
pound of butter. The milk value of an
acre Of alfalfa was STA.
Loretta d., the great Jersey COW that
beat the worlds record at the St Louis
worlds fair. was fed alfalfa. as were
other cows that helped to make dairy
history.

EVILS OF EYE STRAIN.
Some of Them Are Headaches, Dizzi-

ness and Indigestion.
When child begins to screw up it's
eyes to elevate and depress its eye
brows, to wrinkle its forehead, to
blink, to push forward it's head when
looking at things, then suspect eye
strain. Among the many troubles
caused by eye strain are headaches
dizziness. indigestion and so called bill
ious attacks,
Eye strain is really WEAKNESS of
the many nerves that supply the small
muscles of the eyes. If there be any
abnormal optical conditions, such as
errors of refraction. found in myopia.
or shortsightedness and hyperopia. or
long sightedness. imperfect balance of
the ocular muscles and astigmatism or
asymmetrical curvature of the cornea.
these muscles try their best to correct
the trouble. but soon tire of the effort
and give it up, when the blurred i'm
ages of irregular diffusion are left to
irritate the retina. AS one-fourth of all
the cranial nerves are devoted to the
eyes one can scarcely wonder that
headaches are the result of eye strain.
That backwardness in school work is
often due to eye strain Is well known
to up to date educators
1t Is claimed by some medical men
that the majority of children who are
rated as mentally defective are not
suffering from weakness of intellect
but from defective sight that can be
cured by glasses.-New York World.

What Ais the Glover Field.

Frequent failures of clover may not
be due so much to poor soil or dry
seasons as to the absence of the proper
kind of bacteria. Glover bacteria do
not thrive on acid soils. The applica-
ton of ground limestone to such soils
and the introduction of a few hundred
pounds of ground from clover field
may quickly cure a clover sick plot

FREAKS OF NATURE
A Tree That Throws Somersauts and g
 Waterfall Reversed.

A tree gone mad and waterfall tha falls up instead of down are among the strange things to be seen in Ha waii, as described by John Burrough. in the Century Magazine:
 Nature in the tropics, left to her self, is harsh, aggressive, savage looks as though she wanted to hang you with her dangling ropes or impat you on her thorns or engulf you in hel ranks of gigantic ferns. Her mood is never as placid and saue as in the north. There is a tree in the Hawaiian woods that suggests q tree gone mad It is called the haul tree. It lies down suuirms and wriggles all over the ground like a wounded snake. It gets up and then takes to earth again. Now it wants to be a vine; now it wants to be a tree: It throws somersaults it makes itself into loops and rings, it rolls, it reaches. it doubles upon itself, Altogether it is the craziest vegetable growth I ever saw.
 Ut was near Pali that I saw what had never seen or heard of before-a waterfall reversed, going up instead of down. It suggested StocIton's story of negative gravity. A small brook comes down off the mountain and at tempts to make the leap down a high precipice, but the winds catch it and carry it straight up in the air like smoke It is translated; it becomes d mere wrath lowering above the bee tling crag. Night and day this goes on, the wind snatchng from the noun tains in this summary way the water it has brought them."

 ''Keep coo.' he gasped as he passed through the room where the family had gathered in nervous apprehension "fil be back ill q minute.''
 He was back in less than that time having observed that the flames were spouting several feet high from the chimney and that shower of sparks was falling upon the roof
 'Wh-where's the stepadder?' he panted
 He was gone before any one could a1swer the question and presently was heard believing from the roof of the wood shed. He presented heroic figure in the glare of the blazing chim- ney.

 Two long minutes passed.
 "Why doesn't some one do as I or dered:' he thundered. Do you want the place to burn up?"

 \ half hour later the family were again at the tea table.
