The curious Japanese House.

A japanese house hasn't single win
dow. And it's only the most stylish OF
them that have a pane Of glass. A per-
son who has pane Of glass somewhere
in his house sets the social pace in that
neigborhood. Instead OF glass they have
paper pasted on sliding frames, and
through the paper the light filters. Nat
urally one wonders how they keep the
rain out; this is little trouble, for outside
the paper walls are series OF wooden
doors which also slide back and forth.
When time comes TO retire, you look
around for the bed, but there isn't one in
sight. II is rolled up in a drawer. and
the japanese would not know bedstead
from a quilting frame. Millions Of people
in Japan have grown to manhood, voted,
paid taxes and gone to their reward with
out verhaving clapped eyes on an Amer
ican bedstead. To make the bed ready
the servant opens the drawer and unrolIs
the quilts on the floor. putting tomato
can-looking thing under one end for a
pillow. Then she shuts ali the paper
windows and pulls to all The wooden
slides so that not breath OF air can get
in, and the bed is ready. Money in the
palm wouldn't persuade a japanese 70
sleep with the window open.
Their theory is that during the day the
air becomes full of dust and germs so that
If you keep your windows sealed during
the night none OF the germs can get IN.

Greatest Race In America.

"The war in Europe is going TO make
Americans the greatest race in the world
not only as nation, but physically" de-
clared DR.. J. A. Stuart, oil Chicago. "The
war is going TO cause us to improve the
race. The time will come when doctors
will give more attention TO keeping people
well, while, of course, endeavoring 10
cure those who are sick. In countries
where compulsory military service is in
vogue the men are fine specimens oi
manhood. The war takes the brayesl
and best, the Hover of manhood.
Europe is giving her best men TO the
war, and when the struggle is over the
standard OF physical manhood will have
been greatly lowered. Necessarily The
sacrifice of the best men of Europe will
have its effect on the future generations.
"The height OF the French people be-
gan to decrease after 1873, aud it is fact
often commented on that Napoleon had
TO reduce the standards oil measurements
for recruits twice in order 10 get enough
soldiers TO carry on his later campaigns.
In 1899 he lowered the standard minimum
height one inch from the mark thu. had
stood unchanged for century, and in
1904 he had to cut off two more inches.
America, therefore. with greater op-
portunity for physical development and
the failing off OF the standard in Europe,
doubtless will become the greatest nation
of men on earth"

grabbed by the gambler, speculator and
by those who have really added nothing
to the commonwealth, so that the honest
worker has really smaller proportionate
share than in the days before the dis
coverY of steampower, or, in other words,
there is a greater difference in wealth, a
wider gap between the rich and the poor,
than in any former age of the world.
A curious coincidence, that the French
Revolution began at the centre OF the
world TO sweep away in fire and blood
the wrongs, tyrannies and outrages be-
queathed by the feudal ages, TO assert the
rights OF mankind and OF the great toiling
masses, and to Subvert thrones and hier-
arches of the old world-in that same
year, here in secluded place in the un-
known foreSt-covered Western Hemis-
phere-a new era was started by Rumsey
in his first essay OF the power which
would change the face OF the world and
throw the wealth and political power in
the hands OF the few-so that perchance a
fiercer than the French Revolution may
be necessary TO rid theworld ofthe coIos-
sal tyranny built by Mammon and his
minions on the ruins of the former social
system.

What The Birds Do For Farmers.

The quail or partridge has long been
recognized as the king of game. birds IN
this country, but, according TO Govern
ment bulletin recently issued in the in
terest of bird conservation, il is also the
best OF mans friends among the feathefy
tribes as an insect and noXious weed de-
stroyer. investigation has shown, we are
told, that the quail is the natural enemy
of the boil weevil and that one quail will.
on an average, eat 5000 insects and o.
O00, 900 weed seeds year.
Among other specimen statistics" iur-
niShed by the bulletin are these: A lick
er's stomach held Is white grubs. A
night hawks stomach contained 81 bee
ties, the adult form OF white grubs. An
other night-hawk had eaten "a clover
leaf weevis and 374 ants. Still another
had partaken OF $40 grasshoppers, 81
bugs, 3 beetles. wasps and spider. A
boat-tailed grackle had made away at one
meal with about 100 cotton boil worms
besides a few other insects. A ring
necked pheasants crop contained 5000
seeds OF chickweed and dsndelion heads.
A tree swallows stomach contained 40
entire chinch bugs and fragments OF many
others,b esides other species OF insects.
A bank swallow had devoured 6S cotton
boil weevils. Thirty-fve cliff swallows
had taken an average OF Is boil weevils
each. Two stomachs OF pine siskins
contained 900 black olive scales and 3OO
plant lice. A kildee's stomach contained
over 300 mosquito larvae.
The birds "post-mortemed" were COL
lected from all parts Of the country. and
the examinations showed that there IS
not a section which is not benefited by
their insect and weed seed appeiites. A
knowledge ot the facts and figures con-
tanned in the bulletin should, i properly
disseminated throughout the agricultural
communities, 90 long way towards ae-
celebrating The awakening OF the farmers
of The country TO the value and impor-
tance of active cooperation with the
governmental authorities in bird protee-
tion. The IiIler OF the soil has no enemy
in tie shape OF insect or noxious weed
which has not in turn, its enemy IN some
species OF the feathery tribe. Apart from
the value OF the game birds for food pur-
poses, the insectivorous species perform
services for the farmers OF the country
which are worth millions OF dollars every
wear

The Charm Of Being Quiet.

II sometimes seems as if vivacity had
all the attraction, as if light, quick, apt
words, and speaking gestures, and hear
and a spirit and body always in motion,
were the great secrets of social popularity
and success.
Many girl who cannot achieve these
things, who is by nature restrained in
speech and tranquil in temper, gets dis
couraged, and envies her neighbor's
quick tongue and airy disposition. YET
there is comfort in the matter, after all.
In society, men naturally seek those who
are gay and lively, and will save them
the trouble OF talking but the wise know
very we'll that too ready speech does not
always conduce to the happiness of daily
life, that vivacity is often lined with de-
preston, and that long love is better
nourished by repose than by wayward
restlessness.
Especially is it we'll TO preach repose to
our women OF America. Watch their
faces in any public gathering. What a
perpetual CULVER OF superfluous express
sion, merry, or sad, or bored, or cynical,
or questioning, but too often indicating
rather the stimulation Of all those things
than real experience. And the culver OF
The face breeds wrinkles, and the culver
OF nerves breeds deeper wrinkles of the
heart.
Some are afraid that quiet demeanor
may suggest stupidity. Well, sometimes
il does; but il also often suggests thought
fulneSs, and watchfuness, and depths OF
intelligence and feeling. That was an
exquisite compliment paid TO quiet lady
in French comedy: "What makes the
charm OF your conversation is not only
the things you say, but above all the
things you don't say"
People may suspect that we are not
brilliant if we keep still, but if we talk
much, they are sure TO know we are not.
And those who practice the charming art
OF being quiet escape at least the great
takers vast accumulation OF things she
had rather not have said.

Casket Made OF Glass.

Made OF two pieces which are bound
together by heavy metal bands, a glass
cssket has been invented which will soon
be introduced for burial purposes. This
serves both as a coffin and vault, as it
requires no protection against the chem
ical action of the earth. When closed it
is Theoretically sealed and is proof against
both air and water. The two sections
are nodded in heavy glass, which gives
the casket great strength. lis general
form is the same, practically, as that Of
other burial receptacles. The chief point
advanced in its favor is IFS obvious quail
tiles of durability.
