Many Nations Have vaInIy Tried to

} The following national secrets that
have become world property are de-
scribed In Farm and Fireside:
There was time when the Turkish
government imposed the death penalty
on persons caught trying to smuggle
out of the empire the best breeds of
Angora goats. In 1881. Californian.
Doctor Bailey. bought four goats in
Turkey, carried them on mules. camels
and in a closed carriage for some hun
dreds of miles, sheared OF their lux

to make them look common and dis
reputable. and escaped with the sui
tan's goats and whole skin. The de-
scendants of these goats are found on
ranches In the West and Southwest.
crossed with Angoras from South Az
RIGA and other parts Of the world.
Once the governments Of China and
Japan guarded with similar jealousy
the expectation of the tea plant. Some
one escaped with some seed or cut
tings, however, some forty years ago,
and the original plantation OF SNUG
gled tea plants is still fiourishing in
South Carolina.
Fifty years ago Brazil was engaged
in an effort to keep the rubber tree in
confinement in that empire. The seed
was smuggled to Ceylon, however, and
for half century East Indian planters
have been perfecting the rubber tree
until now the best plantations are
there, rather than in Brazil, and the
Brazilians who want the best varieties
send to Ceylon. Java and other Asiatic
countries for their trees for planting.
"The sultan lost his goat, the man
darins their tea and the dons their
rubber trees-and in return Brazil has
given the Asiatics the plague Of the
water hyacinth and the Mongolians
have sent US the San Jose scale, the
gypsy moth and several other pests.
There are at least two sides TO the
matter OF free exchange. but 1t rs one
of the most fascinating subjects con

WOMEN SEEK BARRIERS AID
Not Even the softest Down Is Allowed
to Stay on the Faces Of Japanese
Ladies.

In Japan not only men but women
go to the barber II there be any sign
of hair on their faces; they do not
permit even the soft down to grow.
which the Japanese are often aston
ished to see left unmolested on the
faces of some Western women. Often,
too. the eyebrows are shaved. In re-
cent years the female barber has be-
come a feature OF the profession in
Tokyo, most OF these being the wives
OF BARRIERS who wish 10 make them
selves useful to their husbands, though
some are independent.
The seventeenth Of every month is
regarded as BARRIERS holiday, when
they close up shop and go to theaters
and places Of amusement, for which
they are often furnished with free tick
cts, because they allow the playbills
and other advertisements OF the places
OF amusement TO DO posted in their
shops free. Most OF the instruments
now used by Japanese BARRIERS are
made in japan, thought at first they
were all imported.

per cent Of the enrolment, which is a
fine showing, considering the fact
many of the pupils reside from four to
seven miles from the school house.
Three Of twenty-five pupils came nine

of Pembroke, will be primary grade
teacher and Miss Frances Lander, of
this city, will assist in High School
work. Miss Elizabeth Fox, of this

purpose of the faculty to divide the
work so that, OF the four majors re-

division can be made between the

Prospects are brilliant for the next

OUTSIDE OF UNITED STATES
Uncle Sam Intends to Build Light
house on Navassa island, "No
Mans Land"

Because the Panama canal. when II
comes into its own with the close OF
the European war, will refashion the
trade routes OF the world and lead an
endless procession OF vessels through
waters hitherto unfrequented, the Uni
ted States government is preparing to
go afield and establish lighthouse on
Navassa island. small rocky islet OF
the West Indies east Of Haiti.
The light viii be unique, says the
Washington Star, in that II viii be the
only one maintained by the United
States alone on land not part Of its
national domain. The government Is
not wholly without claim to the half
mile of rock that constitutes the
island, however, for a generation ago
guano deposits were exploited by an
American company, which found II a
mo mans land"
At that time the courts Of the Uni
ted States assumed Jurisdiction when
u murder was committed on the lao
lated patch Of rock. and brought the
murderer to book at baltimore. when
the need OF lighthouse on the island
was felt, therefore. It was not deemed
necessary to negotiate with any other
country. although several countries
have at times claimed ownership.
Congress appropriated s125,ooo for
the erection of the Navassa light and
the federal lighthouse bureau will
soon call for bids. The light will have
a beam of $4,000 candle power that
can be seen for q nautical miles.
There is one other lighthouse that
is in a way comparable to Navassa.
This is the light on Cape Spartel, the
Moroccan headland across from Gibral-
tar, which has been maintained since
1867 by joint contributions from Great
Britain, the United States. Morocco.
