PLENTY OF STORAGE PLACES
Woman Who Has Made Home Into
VeritabIe "House of Thou
sand Closets"

One little woman living not far from
New York. says Harriet Sisson Giles
pie in'the Mothers Magazine, has been
able by the expenditure of a moderate
sum of money to transform an imprac-
ticable clOSetlcss dwelling into one in
which housekeeping is not only a
pleasure, but where the problem of
storing away clothing has been salts
factorily solved.
Among her friends it is known as
"the house of thousand closets"
which is nearly If not literally true
Every little cubby hole below the
shingles has been utilized for closet
space. There are banks of closets on
both the second and attic floors, to say
nothing of n cedar closet with sun and
air and electric light, for the recep!
tion of the owners choicest posses
sions. Some of the closets are cedar
lined, others sheathed with matched
boards of North Carolina pine, well
shellacked to keep out the moths and
frequently sprayed with liquid in
which oil of cedar plays a part.
A printed list of every article con.
tanned in the drawers and cupbOards is
tackled in plain sight in order that the
frantic search for inanimate things
that seem suddenly to have taken
wings and flown away, may be entirely
Obviated.

SUGAR LONG GROWN IN JAVA
Production Has Been Pushed Rapidly
and There Is Room for Fur
ther Development.

The cultivation of sugar cane is an
old industry in Java. The production
has increased rapidly and the end is
not yet. Between 1850 and 1860 Java
produced less than 100000 tons year.
Sugar tonnage increased rapidly and
steadily, until in 1904 the milliOn-tOn
output was reached, and it is thought
that the two-million ton mark will be
passed within two or three years. A
writer In the Americas, issued by the
National City bank of New York, says
that while the cultivation of sugar Ia
a very old industry in Java, it has
passed through many viciSSitudes. Fiji
ty years ago, he says, the sugar was
raised almost entirely by native farm
ers, who paid a part of their crop to
the government as rent. The rise or
beet sugar growing in Europe made 1t
necessary in order to compete to in
rrOduce a more efficient system. To-
day the cultivation is done by the
manufacturers themselves. They lease
the land from the natives, who In
many cases are the owners, or from
the native communities. Many small
properties are thus united under the
management of a manufacturer dur
ing the period of one planting-that is,
about three years. After each planting
the land is turned back to the native
prOprietors for growing rice or corn
until it's fertility for sugar production
is restored.

venient to his hand, and he looked as
if he would do any cruel thing he
threatened.

Personality Of Your Hall.

The aspect of the hall shoulG afford
q cheerful yet reserved introduction to
the rest of the house.
A hall has many definite functions
to perform. 1t should not only serve
as an attractive waiting room but
should also give ready access to the
main room of the house. Homes
should never be so badly planned that
some rooms are accessible only through
others.
Halls should always be somewhat
formal, for they are intended for the
use of strangers and acquaintances as
well as friends and relatives. Just how
formal ones home entrance should be
depends largely upon whether the
structure is in the city or country.
The interests and manner of living Of
the occupants also have much to do
with this.

New York and Quebec.

Quebec City is older than New York.
1t was founded in 1908 by Samuel de
Champlain, whereas the earliest date
that can be set for the founding of
New York is 1910. New York Bay and
the Hudson river were discovered by
Verrazano in 1924, ard the discovery
was followed by occasional visits of
trading and exploring vessels until the
arrival of Henry Hudson in 1909, Cne
year after Champlain had built his
fort and chateau on the slope leading
up to the heights of Quebec. Begin
ming with 1910 Dutch merchants dis
patched several vessels to engage in
the fur trade with the Indians, and in
1914 ship commander Adrian Block
having lost his vessel, built the HOn-
rust" or Restless" on the shores of
the upper harbor of New York. About
the same time few huts were built
on the south end of Manhattan island.
In 1923 the country was erected into
q province by the Dutch, and the seat
of government was established on Man
haitian island, on part of the site of
the present city of New York. Dutch
rule commenced, and continued until
September s, 1864. almost one hundred
years before the British acquired New
France or Canada.

When he finally had it fixed the way

then. He cast an inquiring glance up

that Buck was directly under the over

enough slack to keep Buck from chOk-

Of sardonic humOr. Then he crawled
back to the trunk of the tree and slid
down carefully so that he would not

Shoes Worn in Early paxs.

High-heeled boots were worn by
ladies for three parts of the eighteenth
century. They raised their fair wear
ers some inches, rendering walking
difficult and running impossible.
But these fashions were confined to
the rich. The poor wore shoes of
wood, reeds and untanned leather.
The Highlander made brogans out of
untanned deer hide, and the southern
nations wore cloth sandals and slip
pers. 1t was not until the year 1900
that an Englishman invented rights
and lefts;" previously both shoes were
shaped exactly alike. So far as we
can discover, the aboriginal tribes of
America never went barefooted. They
always made and wore mOccasins, the
easiest shoe ever invented.

Japanese Steel Production.

Through recent Investigations by the
mining bureau, says Commerce Re
ports, it is learned that the total pro-
ducing capacity of japanese steel mills
was S8S,000 tons, in round figures, last
August, according to the Japan Adver-
tiser. During the first half of the past
year $4,000 tons of various shapes
were produced in this country. exclu-
sive of the colonies. OF this amount
100000 tons were produced by the gov
ernment steel works. The Japan Steel
Tube Co. turned out $4,000 tons; the
Japan Steel Works, $4,000 tons; the
Kawasaki Dockyard CO.. $4,000 tons !:
and the Kamaishi Steel Works, 10000
tons.
The Advertiser quotes officials as
saying that at the end of the past year
the products of those mills reached
$4,000 tons net. Compared with the
preceding year this is, an increase of
80 per cent. If this rate of increase is
maintained, 1918 will see a further in
crease at least to $4,000 tons net.

oriuin of the Greek Church.

Apart from theological discussions,
such as those rising from the addition
of the words, land the son." in the
creed. the separation of the Latin and
Greek churches may be traced to the
founding of COnstantinOple and the
political division of the Roman en-
pire, according to a Bible student.
Ignatius, patriarch of COnstantinopIe,
had heen depOsed, and was succeeded
by PhOtius, who summoned council
of the East in S67, and passed SEN
tence of communication on the bisb.
Op of Rome. The churches became re-
united towards the end of the ninth
century, and remained so until the
middle TIE eleventh century. when
in 1854 Michael CerulariuS, patriarch
of the East, renewed the cOndemna-
ton of the Latin church, and was in
turn accommodated by Pope Leo
TX. Efforts toward reunion were
made from time to time, and at Fer
rara (1439) the Greek prelates signed
decree of union, but wess hsfeec
by the people and clergy to repudiate
1t. Since then the two cOmmuniOnS
have remained separate.
