Early Japanese Literature.

In the earliest times there was but
one seat of learning and literature in
Japan-Kyoto, where the mikado re
sided, The mobiles composing his court
enjoyed generally a very quiet life and
loved to devote their time to poetry,
which they held in highest honor, and
to the writing of diaries. These diaries
form the first historical works Of the
Japanese. A number still exist and
offer a fascinating insight into the life
at Kyoto in days Of yore. Again 1t is
to be noted that many of the best writ
ings were done by women.

TRAINING Raw Recruits.

An army officer, speaking Of the ne
cessity for the rigid training of re-
cruits, said:
Don't delude yourselves with the
idea that a man won't be frightened
under fire, because he will be. He'll be
badly frightened if he is normal hui
man being.
"Now, if a man can be made to bring
his rifle up to his shoulder in battle
and fire it is conceded by military au
thorities that a soldier has been made
out of him.
"But if you succeed in teaching men
not only to bring the weapon to then
shoulders, but to take proper sight
if hard training accomplishes this tri
umph over their natural fears then yoy

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1917-05-03

The Massachusetts legislature has
just passed bill by large majorities,
and the governor has signed it, which
makes il lawful for people of the state
to do garden work on Sunday. Thus
another old blue law gets bump.
The project had the backing of the
governor, the state public safety com
mittee and practically all the legisla-
tive leaders, leaving only few of the
confirmed defenders of Sunday to OPP
pose it. They opposed feebly, feeling
it their patriotic duty to put as little
as possible in the way of preparation
for war. Incidentally, we imagine
that good many people are surprised
that there ever was a law forbidding
important garden. or farm work on
Sunday.

A Good Stop for Any Wagon.

When pulling heavy load up a
steep hill, says writer in Farm and
Fireside, cit is often necessary to rest
the team. Here is q simple device that
will hold the wagon while the team
rests. Take 4 stout piece of wood four
inches square and about twenty inches
long. Fasten chain at the center. Put
other end of chain around the rear axle
so the block will drag about two inches
behind the wheel.
"When you wish to stop, let the
wagon back a couple of inches and the
stop is always ready to block the wheel
This device is extensively used by lum
bermen in Oregon

Cudworth and the Courts,
(Rutland Herald.)

Wonder whether the appointment of
Addison f. Cudworth of South London
derry, to judge of the Brattleboro mu-
nicipal court is q reward for his ac-
tivity i'll behalf of court reform in the
last session of the General Assembly ?
-Brattleboro Reformer.
The Herald knows nothing about the
reward part of it, but it does know
something about Mr.. Curworth' s atti,
tude on court reform.
He was opposed to the single form
of courts, so far as the supreme court
and superior judges We're concerned
He favored the dual system, but, as
head of the house judiciary commit
tee, gave much time and thought tc

court and five superior judges, will

This measure he supported and die
much toward its passage through tn,
house. He also had promises of sup
port in the senate. He stood ready I,
fsupport the administration district
court bill, but it was slaughtered il
the senate, largely as a matter of wan
ton reprisal on the governor.
Considering his fixed convictions o.
the court question, it looks as thong
| he had made considerable concessions
and the Herald, for one, rated him a
one of the reasonable lawyers of tn
legislature.
So far as we know, Mr.. Cudwort
had nothing to do with the legislativ
activities of the bar association agent

he supported would have become la

Baking is process of elimination
by which in many instances practically
everything is eliminated from the
breakfast table, except buttered toast

FEW DROPS AND

Sore corns, hard eorns, soft corns or
any kind of corn can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply directly upon the corn few
drops of freezone, says Cincinnati
authority.
1t is claimed that at small cost one
can get a quarter of an ounce of freez-
one at any drug store, which is suffi-
cient to rid one s feet of every corn

the danger of infection.
