The Japanese Lady.

When Japanese lady is tired she
unrolls small quilted spread which
she uses for her bed and puts il on the
floor Then she sits down on IL and
refresheS herself with cup If tea.
II she wishes to take nap, she puts a
small wooden block under her head
for a pillow, and thinks she is very
comfortable.
The Japanese lady does some things
which seem very strange to us. She is
always the first one to get UP in the
morning and the last to 60 to bed at
night 1t is she who keeps the money
for use in the family, but she does not
go shopping. Every morning the shop
keepers of all sorts bring their goods to
her house
All the clothes for every member Of
the family are made at home, and even
the rich ladies cut and sew their own
garments.
oldest of all, she does not mind
having the sides of her house open to
the street, so that everyone passing
may see all that is done inside.

Had Been Missing Something.

One Of Sir Thomas Lipton's favorite
stories concerns an old Scotchman,
who went to horse race for the first
time and was induced to stake six
pence in the third race on a forty to
one shot. BY some miracle this horse
won, and when the bookmaIer handed
the old man his winnings he could
hardly believe his eyes.
"Dae ye mean to tel me get all
this for ma saxpence? ' he exclaimed
"You do" replied the bookmaker.
"Ma conscience" rhuttered the
Scotchman. "Tell me, mon, how long
has his thing been goin' on ?"

In the report of the grand jury at
Cleveland, Ohio, which investigated
the shortage Of houses, the following
statement is made: THE testimony
adduced indicates conclusively that il
requires approximately twice as long
with the same number Of men to cree,
house today as it did in pre-war
times. Impartial tests show that II
takes twice as many carpenter hours
to do carpenter work on a building as
it did five years ago. Bricklayers lay
less than half the number of bricks
paperhangers, painters and plasterers
all do less than half the work in the
same time tht they did five years ago
Manufacturing firms which make
and sell building materials prove BY
their records that while wages have
gone up 200 per cent in some cases, la
Dor costs have gone up 400 per cent, in
dicating that their employers are get
ting double pay for one-half the worl
as compared with before the war"

Kansas bee keepers are solving the
high cost OF preserving fruit for sugar
this year by substituting honey for
sugar, according to State bee in
spectors who hive been in conference
with DR.. ]. Fl. Merrill, assistant en-
tomologis Of the Kansas Agricultural
experiment station While it requires
slightly more honey for preserving
fruits, bee keepers can save money
by using the product of bees, since the
cost OF manufacturing it is almost
nothing, the inspectors pointed out.
They said thousands OF dollars worth OF
honey from the clover and alfalfa fields
Of the State goes to waste annually be-
nually because comparatively few
farmers keep bees.

Although no definite time has been
set for the starting of the construction
OF trolley line between Hagerstown,
Martinsburg and intermediate points,
1t was stated by one in a position to
know that the Hagerstown and Fred
erick Railway company has considered
and is making plans towards building
such a line. Present existing condi-
tons, it was learned, is practically, the
drawback. 1t is probable, therefore
that the beginning of the work will not
come about for a year, or perhaps
longer. The company, is was stated
is planning the building of this par,
ticular line before starting on the con-
struction of branch to Security. A
line between Hagerstown and Mar
tinsburg would pass through a section
of country that is practically undevel-
oped The land is excellent and many
of the largest apple orchards Of the
country would be located along the
tracks. Such line would also afford
an excellent and delightful means
Of transportation for the people of both
cities.-Hagerstown Globe.
