The Geography of Japan.

Until InO Chukei finished his labor
of love in 1921 nothing like an au-
thentic map of Japan existed. His
career was remarkable, for it was not
until he had reached the age Of fifty
five years-having been a sake brewer
from bOyhOod-that he turned his at
tention to surveying. His maps were
found to be so good and so free from
errors that they were adopted as the
basis Of the trigonOmetrical survey of
Japan. During his work he surveyed
$4,000 square miles, using instru-
ments which he made himself; but he
met with no reward during his life,
for on the termination of his undertak-
ing he was thrown into prison by the
ShogunS, and he remained there until
he died. He has since been honored
by Il monument, erected to his men,
ory In Tokyo.

HOMEMADE WASHING MACHINE
Miners in Alaska Construct Ingenious
Device to Take the Place Of
Washboard and Tub.

In parts OF Alaska many Of the mi.
ners do their own housekeeping and
laundering. To accomplish the latter
they use as a substitute for the wash
board and tub device made Of an old
barrel-churn mounted on runners so
that the miner can take 1t along to his
work.
A cylinder about so inches long and
of the same diameter as the head of
the churn is first constructed of heavy
galvanized iron. One end of this cylin-
der is left open, and the head of the
churn is fastened to the open end. The
cylinder is then carefully balanced in
the churn, and the churn-bearings fast
ened with rlvets and solder to make
them water-tight.
Two screens are made of galvanized
wire Of One-inch mesh. One of them is
suspended from the movable head by
One-quarter-inch galvanized iron rods,
and the other is fastened to the cylin-
der, so that the two are about ten
inches apart in the middle of the cylin-
der.
The clothes are confined between the
two screens. The water surges back
and forth through them until they are
clean, or as long as the churp is in
motion. A large pinwheel attached to
the bearings furnishes the turning
power.

Great Lesson Is Taught by
Old Legend OF the HinduS

The familiar mustard has n moral
tale told in its connection by the Hin
dus, n story whose moral is as pun
gent as the flavor of the plant. A
mother, the legend runs, had lost her
only child, and, distracted, she carried
the little body from door to door, from
temple to temple, crying out to priest
and doctor, to wise man and scholar,
"Oh, master, what can do to save my
child?"
Everywhere she was greeted by pity,
hut no help came until one old sage
answered, zone thing will bring him
back to you, and one only-a handful
Of mustard seed from house in which
no child or loved one has ever died.
With hope she AuEried out on her
guest, but everywhere as she put the
question, "Has any loved one died in
this house?" the inmates would an
swer, "Ot a surety, for countless are
the hosts of the dead, and never was
there one so desolate as to leave none
to mourn the passing"
And as she went the lesson sank in
to her heart that her loss had but
Joined her soul to the universal soul OF
humanity; that there was none in all
the wide world to whom sorrow was
unknown, and, going back to the wise
man, she laid her little dead child al
his feet, crying out: II have learned
my lesson. Mine Is but the common
lot. for death is the end of all"

Old Memories.

A quaint little pathway that twisted and
turned
And passed from our sight at the mill,
Then wandered away where the wild
flowers burned
Their gold in the slope of the hill.
How silent 1t led, with the alders above,
TIL splashed by the sun streaming
through,
1t ended its way on the threshold of love,
OF an old fashioned cottage we knew.
Each flower that bloomed round the lat
tice way there
Came down from the gardens above
Each new opened blossom gave out on the
air
Fresh tokens Of tenderest love
Each sigh In the trees of the breeze pass
ing through.
Each call of a bird for its mate
Befitted this old-fashioned cottage we
knew
And the old-fashioned folk at the gate
The gourd at the wall, the bucket and
sweep,
The something that whispered of home
The warmth of the welcome they treas
ure and keep
To greet son given to roam;
Aye, each little thing, each Joy and care
That passes in distant review;
May we find the old-fashioned cottages
there
And the old-fashioned couples we knew.
