remainder of its animal diet includes
altogether too large a proportion Of
beneficial birds and their eggs. and
In this respect it appears to be worse

While its vegetable food is composed
largely of mast, at times its liking
for cultivated fruit and grain makes
1t most unwelcome visitor to the

may be said that over much of It's
range this Jay is too abundant for
the best interests of agriculture and
horticulture.

WHERE WOMEN
 DO THE WORK.
, q (, q .. <, q q q q {, .o D

Along the sunny coast of Japan, washed by the Pacific, there is a colony where women are the heads and supporters of families, while men abide by the orders of omen.
 It is the district of Shima where the colony of sea girls is located. Sea girls" they are called, as the occupation of the women is diving into the rough, agitated sea for pearls and other gems of the deep ocean.
 And it is different from other suffragette colonies, as the women not only are the heads of families. but work and labor. while the male population are practically idle. The colony, the unique and i"te resting village, is not new. The sea girls have been swimming ill the Bay of Shima and taking the responsibility of supporting large families for over ten centuries.
 The sea girls are healthy, strong and bronzed women, and their work is most strenuous. They stay in water from eight to twelve hours a day, and even in the co'Gest win ter they manage to remain ill the water two or three hours a day. They are born divers and skilled swimmers. At each dive they re- main under water from one to two minutes.
 But their task does not end there. They do all the cooking, cleaning, sweeping and marketing for their families, and the male members of the family do nothing
 Women are the power of the vii, lage. When a girl baby is born the parents and relatives celebrate and feast, but when their baby is boy they just grin and bear the mistor- | tune
