Stamp Perforation.

The perforation of stamps was first
commenced in England in 1853, for re-
ceipt and draft stamps, and for post
age stamps in 1854. Prior to that Pc
riod stamps were separated by means
of scissors or knife or similar means
and in some cases those who required
many resorted to the use of roulette,
a kind of cogwheel furnished with
small cutters, making a series Of cuts
between the stamps.

Average AccideAs.

Women are always the first TO be
called upon wherever and whenever an
accident occurs. The average man is
indeed, only too glad to do what he
can, but he doesn't know what to do.
Nine times oct of ten the only help he
can render is to rush to a telephone
and call doctor or ambulance to the
scene, and he certainly deserves the
highest praise for such commendable
work, but the average woman has 1t in
her to help materially at such q time.

Beyond All Price.

Gifts from the hand are silver and
gold, but the heart gives that which
neither silver nor gold can buy. To
be full of goodness, full Of cheerful

full hope, causes one to carry with him
blessings of which he is himself as
unconscious as lamp is of its own

man life as stars move on dark seas

JAPAN'S sHANTUNG PLANS.

The recent statement of the Japanese government,
through Foreign Minister Uchido regarding Shantung
peninsula, was not explicit as many Americans had
hoped STILL it goes pretty far to clear up unpleasant
situation.
According to his statement Japan IS willing to re-
store to China the whole of the territory in question and
to enter into negotiations with the government at Picking
regarding the necessary arrangement to give effect to
the pledge at the soonest possible time after the Versailles
treaty has been ratified by Japan
The Mikados government formally disclaims as it
has done before, any intention of retaining political iu-
risdicon in the Shantung provneethat to say ruling
over the Chinese there The territorial sovereignty is to
be restored to China japanese troops are to be with
drawn as soon the necessary arrangements can be
made In compliance with given by the peace
delegation at the peace conference Japan seeks only to
keep the economic privileges granted by China to Ger
many There will be Chinese police force for the rail-
roat with Japanese officials approved by the Chinese
government The city of Using Tau is to be made "for
eign city, dominated very likely by the Japanese but not
excluding any other nationality

would rather have the japanese ousted entirely business

these promises China is at least in better plight than she
would have been had Japan left the Germans in possess
