CIRCUS DAY

By Riley Ryck.
Oh, the crowded ~recollections
When the bugles blow parade!
Was it yesterday l wonder
That we ran the home blockade
Stole across the fields at dawning
Straight away our course and true
To the distant, doing village
Where the circus lodestone drew?
There the precious, stolen moments
Saw a silver palace rise,
Habited by people wondrous
To our scarce-beieving eyes;
CENT who dealt in magic
And their magic wares displayed
How we coveted the baubles
They SO temptingly arrayed!
Then the elephants that numbered
In their heavy-footed style
Had to share our eager wonder
With the hippo from the Nile;
While the lions in their cages
Roaring till the wagons shook
Sure had just stepped from the pages
OF u picture story book.
Lost we were in rapt amazement
Till, as II by given sign.
Horses, elephants and wagons
Formed themselves in one long line.
Then the gay bespangled horsemen
Led the gorgeous calvalcade.
And with one accord we followed
For the bugles blew parade.

To Take the Freight off

From st is the war to 1T is the freight That has been
the recent change in the stereotyped, blanket answer to the
And the railroads are cutting wages, and putting up a
very good imitation Of going to the bow-wows.
Wonder if there isn't some good common sense buried in
the following, from a hard-headed manufacturer, who knows
what he's talking about?
When he wrote it, he probably had in mind also the
tremendous quantity of wood pulp that is annually diverted
from newsprint to fibre boxboards, and he probably feels, just
as the editor of this newspaper does, that if the press of the
nation is to be preserved it cannot go much longer paying
the premium for its white paper that such a diversion creates.
The writer is Lacy Y. Williams. He wrote as follows in
a recent number of the Railway AgeGazette:
MY deductions from my experience as a manufacturer
of packages, and as a shipper of various types of packages,
is that the barrel is the strongest, most portable, most sani-
tary container; that it has the greatest range of use, and
that it is the cheapest Of all packages, without exception,
when weight and contents are considered.
Take the transportation question alone. One man will
unload a carload of 200 barrels of sugar, weighing an average
of $50 pounds each, in less than an hour, and not injure a
barrel in the slightest way.
"On the other hand, no rectangular container has ever
been produced that could be handled at all with this weight
by one, or even two men. A barrel can be rolled any dis
lance. 1t carries it's running gear with it.
"The contents of a barrel are protected from damage
from leaky car roofs and from rain during loading and un-
loading, or when on platforms, which would be fatal to the
contents OF a fiber container.
shipping the barrels home empty is not necessary, for
the reason that they can be used for any kind of product
when empty, and always find an eager market, returning full.
The classification on goods shipped in barrels should
be lower than on goods shipped in rectangular containers
for four reasons.
"First-There are fewer damage claims.
"second-A freight crew will handle ten times the ton.
mage In barrels that It will In rectangular containers.
"Third-cars can be unioaded in onetenth the time and
under weather conditions that, with other containers, might
prevent the release Of the car.
"Fourth-The barrel Is more sanitary"

DIVORCE EASY IN OLD JAPAN
What Is Prescribed, Concerning the
Matter, In the Oldest Code of
Nippon Laws.

Divorce In old Japan was called
Mikudari han (three lines and a half),
from the fact that when the husband
wanted to get rid of his wife all he
had to do was to give her a letter con
sistfng Of three and a half lines.
There is an old usage that one who
proposes to marry has to draw up a
written contract consisting of seven
lines and submit it to the fiancee's
mother. And love letters used to be
written in three and a half lines. The
Koshibagaki, one of the best porno-
graphic books, attests the usage Of CIV
ing certificates Of divorce to the dis
owned wife in the Seventeenth cen
fury.
Although 1t is unknown when
adopted, the Oldest code Of Japanese
laws states that the husband at the
divorce of his wife should give a writ
ten certificate signed by his relatives,
and where the wife was illiterate, the
certificate was to be drawn up in signs.
During the Togukawa regime the di-
vorce certificate was the necessary con
dition Of divorce.
The only recourse for ill-treated
wives in the Togukawa period was the
special institution Of the divorce tenn
pie. Women who hated their husbands
and resorted to the temples of nuns
might be allowed to return to their
parents home after three years disci-
pline in the temple.

a Widow AZ Nine

In the Seventeenth century, juvenile
unions were of frequent occurrence.
Wards In chancery were sometimes
married at five years Of age; and
Mol Villiars, daughter Of the first
duke Of Buckingham, was not merely
a wife but q widow before she was
nine, and we read Of her romping In
the garden in her widows veil. In
almost every instance, however, such
marriages were In name only, and the
little wives were allowed to reach their
teens before taking up the burdens
