A sriszs Party In Japan.


 IL wasn't long after we landed before We saw the Japanese woman, the tyne that old Japan creates. She and some others were having a bridge party, Sounds inviting. but it wasn't. About twenty Of th,u were driving piles for a new bridre. The sun was Scorching, the timbers enormous and the man Uyersecr was abusing them. For weren't they only women: Without education and with old Japau's idea O. women crushing them down, they deem- ed themselves pretty fortunate to have even such work and tue princely sum q 10 cents 8 day.
 No. it isn't enough for old Japan that the women should have a baby every year. They must work, work like men and animals. In NiskO we could see from a distance a long line of bowed figures climbing the s,eep bank of the river Daiyu. and on coming nearer we saw that they were old, old women, wrinkled and gray, carrying barrels not baskets, but barrels of stone from the river bed to the road Such is the reverence for age in Jupau.-Jean Price in World Outlook.

sunset and 12 O'Clock.

The habit of counting F o'clock at sunset is very ancient The Turks, Greeks and most other people in the Leyant have almost always counted 12 o'clock from sunset and to this day the common people cannot under stand that their clocks have to be changed every day and not ours. The Turks have officially adopted meridian time, but only since the Young Turks came Into power-that Is, since 1908 The change was even then not made immediately. It encountered a great deal of opposition on religious grounds, because the NIohammedan hours of prayer are regulated by the sun. And the common people still stick to the old system. Only in Constanttnople and Smyrna are there many Turks who keep the official meridian time, and the great majority of people throughout the Turkish dominions still count F o'clock, as their ancestors have from time immemorial, at sun set-New York Times.

Alaska.

Alaska is an outlying possession Seward bought it of Russia in 1867 for ST,2OO,OOO. He and it became a na- tlonal joke for that generation. and ex- cept for Stewards iceboy" 1t attracted but little attention. Having more than half q million square miles in area, it Is more than ten times larger than any state east of the Mississippi and con- talus mountain systems. valleys and mighty rivers. Switzerland could be lost around rap base of Mount McHin- ley. It Is only since hlouLlke days that Alaska has at all been taken seri- OuSly. and even from that date the de velopment has come slowly. But Alas ka has only been scratched. Alaska is the biggest prize in the Pacific ocean. It's material possibilities are i!limitable. and We are permitting it to stand ut terly unprotected when with only a little care on our part it could be made impregnable.-Ceutury.

Within the borders of the Sequoia National park and the General Grant National park near by there are no fewer than 1,1G6,OOO seQuoia trees, and of these l2,0OO are more than ten feet in diameter. In the Sequoia Ma tlonal park stands the largest tree in the world-not the tallest, but the larg- est-the General sherman tree, with a diameter of 36.5 feet and height of 2T9.9 feet. It's massive trunk and branches contain about 100000 feet of lumber, board measure. This is equal to the amount of lumber that is cut from forty acres of average Mime sota timberland.-Argonaut

The Fymous Green Man of Brighton"
 In October, 1906, an individual was to be observed at Brighton, England, who walked out every day dressed in green from head to foot-green shoes, green gloves, green handkerchief and other articles 10 match. This eccen- tric person lived alone, knew nobody, and in his house the curtains, the wall paper, the furniture, even the plates and dishes and the smallest toilet ar ticles, offered an uninterrupted se- quence of green. Having started on bis career, there was obviously no req son to stop, and with full consistency he carried his scruples, so far as to eat nothing but fruit and vegetables of the same green color. The consequences were extremely disastrous. One fine day the green man jumped from his window into the streer, rushed forward and performed a second somersault from the top Of the nearest cliff.
