LIVING IN JAPAN.
Hard Work For the Middle Classes to
Make Both Ends Meet.

DR.. Takata, japanese minister of ed
ucation, has recently published book.
concerning economic conditions In ia
pan. The pinch comes harder upon the
middle classes than upon the lower
classes since the former must not only
live, but must keep up a respectable
appearance on salaries no greater than
those that men who work at trades
receive.
For example, according to DR.. Taxa
ia, primary school teacher earns.
$3.50 a month, but his lowest budget
for a family of four reaches S17.33.
His wife must do work at home to.
earn the deficit. A magazine editor
and writer who has a wife, two chill
dren and maid spends S32.75 monthly
on household sundries. His earnings
are irregular, but always below his ex-
penses. He has been compelled to bor-
row money from his wife's relatives,
and her trousseau is not unknown to-
the pawnshops.
The learned author states that two
thirds Of the Tokyo doctors earn no,
more than $50 month. Obviously the
professional classes of Japan are in the.
grip Of conditions that are far from en-
viable.

Spanish Doubloorts.

Should one find pirates buried
treasure he would have to dispose of
his Spanish gold at its bullion value,
for since Aug. /, 1908, when the com.
mon crier made proclamation from the
steps Of the Royal Exchange Of Lon
don that after that date the doubloon
would cease to be legal tender in the
West Indies, including British Guiana,
the doubloon has not been the precious
thing 1t was. In 1880 and for a CEN
tury after 1t was worth $S, more or
less. 1t has ceased to bescoined In its
native country, Spain, and since 1908
1t has been unpopular In the West In
dies, where for long time it figured
In mixed circulation, embracing Brit
ish, United States and Spanish coins
In the interest Of romance, however,
the name at least must survive. 1t
signifies nothing more than that the
coin was double the value Of pistole
but the "doubloon" was never such a
mouth filing mockery as ''pieces Of
eight" which suggests great riches,
but means only Spanish silver dollars,
pieces equivalent to eight reals.-Roch-
ester Post Express.

Value of Thunderstorm

"Thunderstorms," says Professor
Ward In Science, bring us much that
Is of benefit. To them we owe much, in
parts Of our country even most Of our
spring and summer rainfall. Without
these benefcent thunderstorms our
great staple crops east Of the Rocky
mountains would never reach matur-
ity. One good thunderstorm over con-
siderable area at critical crop stage
is worth hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars to American farmers. Our stock
markets time and again show the ia
vorable reaction Of such conditions
upon the price Of cereals and also Of
railroad and other stocks. Thunder
showers break our summer droughts,
cleanse our dusty air, refresh our
parched earth, replenish our failing
streams and brooks, bring us cool even
ings and nights after sultry and op-
pressive days"

Washington Monument.

The cornerstone of the Washington
monument was laid on Its fine site,.
which Oyerlooks Washington, George
town, Arlington and Mount Vernon, by
President Polk July 4, 1913. Its mar
BILE shaft rises in all the dignity Of un-
adorned simplicity to the height Of 555
feet. The base Of the shaft is fifty-five
feet square, and it gradually tapers
until at the 500 foot point it has dimin-
ished to less than thirty-fve feet. This
monument is said to contain $1,000
blocks of marble, each two feet thick.
They were lifted on an elevator run by
steam, suspended in an inner frame
work of iron, which was built up at in
tervals, thirty or forty feet at time, in
advance of the surrounding masonry.
The aluminium capstone. nine inches
high, was set in position Dec. g., 1884,
thirty-six years and half after the
cornerstone was laid.
