JAPANESE DIFFICULT TO LEARN.

To learn to read ordinary Japanese--to say
nothing Of the luxury Of being able to appreciate
the nuances Of style In japanese composltiOn-is
the lnboriohs effort Of long years for japanese
themselves, writes "A Student Of japanese In the
New East (Tokyo). A Japanese s~choolboy has to
take lessons In renmanship for a matter Of nine or
eleven years and even then he may find himself
hOpelessly stumped by IN oddly In an ordinary
post card.
Small wonder. then. that the attempts Of West.
crners to learn japanese In their own lands have
been rather heurtbrcallng md ~proftless work on
the whole. Yet even 80, some small measure Of
success has been attained now and then. The
old Jesuits had japanese to teach them In their
great seminary at Macao, as sons Of the Spanish
orders had later on ut Manila Ia the seventeenth
century.

STRING BEANS

String beans for canning should be
tender and fresh. When the beans
within the pod have grown to any size
canning Is more difficult and the fin.
ished product Is Of poorer quality. The
Refugee is a good variety for canning.
Use only ~well-sOrted. small. tender
beans. Wash and pick over the beans.
String the beans and cut them into
two-inch lengths. Cutting ~diagonally
or ION the bias" gives a pretty prod.

After the beans are prepared, blanch

If the intermittent boiling process Is
used. boil for 80 minutes on the first
day, and 90 minutes on the second and
third days. Before each subsequent
boiling the covers must be loosened,
and after each boiling the overs must
be securely frightened to make sealing
complete. Cool, test and store.
If n s~insle-period boiling process IL
used, place jars In the amer and boil
for at least three hours. Seal, cool, test

Lima beans are treated the same as
string beans. except that a seasoning

APPLES

Apples shrink more In canning than
most fruits, and for this reason should
be blanched for one minute. Plunge
them into a cold bath. then pack.
Cover with a sirup made Of ii ounces
Of sugar to n gallon Of water and
process quart Jars Il minutes. Other
sirups can be used In place OF d part
Of the sugar usually required.
This method OF canning apples IL
not economical, because the apple IL
juicy and needs no water added. 4
better method. perhaps, Is to make ii
luz out Of the apples. This may be
done by steaming them until tender
and passing them through the sieve.
Allow N cupfui Of sugar TO each gall
lon Of pulp. Reheat until the sugar Is
dissolved, pack hot in sterilized jars

Old Nick is now busy, his face all
aglcw,
Preparing a place for the kaiser to go;
Way back in one corner where dark
ness prevails,
Where there's gnashing of teeth, misery
and walls.
Here he opened a pit, dug fathoms be-
low
Preparing a place for the kaiser to go.
When the kaiser goes home to his chief
running mate
Old Nick win eonsign him; make known
his fate;
He will east him far down, yes, faith
oms below,
Where h. has prepared for the kaiser
to go.
There he will watch him with raptuous
glee,
AS he jumps up two feet, then falls back
three.
There he will remain as all ages roll by,
Unmasked and unhonored; despised let
him lie.
We will now leave him alone this once
form of man,
Who disgraced even old Nick and all of
his elan.
