JAPANESE AVERSE TO CHANGE
Idea That They Would Take Kindly
to American-BuiIt Houses Proved
to Be Wrong.

With the double hope of business
success and social service, a certain
firm in Japan some years ago began
the importation Of American-made
movable houses on a large scale. The
houses, the firm believed would offer
very comfortable and cozy little homes
at reasonable prices to the salary-earn-
ing classes of Nippon and would bring
about a great Improvement in the do
nestle life of the Japanese.
The enterprise, well-meaning as it
undoubtedly was, turned out to be a
failure. 1t was like an oyerzealous
but enlightened missionary trying to
impose the dogmas of Christianity on
heathenS, regardless of the latter's
ideas, temperament and history. The
Japanese have their own customs,
modes of living and traditions, which,
irrespective Of whether they be good
or pad, are dear to their hearts and
hard to give up in a fortnight. Homes
are the most basic of institutions,
and house construction is the result
Of centuries of home life to nation.
10 try TO induce the Japanese to give
up their houses Immediately and dwell
in the American-made houses is like
trying to urge them to give up all
Japanese ways of feeling, believing
and thinking, and to adopt occidental
ways of behavior. 1t is preposter-
ous.-East and West News.

DEMAND FOR HIPPO TEETH
Buyers Flock to Antwerp Four Times
Year to Attend Auction Where
They Are Sold.

The chief ivory market of the world
is fu Antwerp, where buyers from
everywhere assemble four times year
to attend an auction of this material.
Most of it consists of the tusks OF
African elephants, but considerable
quantities of hippopotamus teeth also
figure in the sales. The latter, at an
auction a few weeks ago, brought
prices all the way from thfrty-fve
cents to S. pound, according to quail
ty.
A century ago hippopotamus ivory
was much more valuable than 1t is to-
day, because it was the preferred ma
terial for artificial human teeth, being
very dense and hard. George Wash
ington had a set of teeth made Of it.
But nowadays much better ones are
manufactured of porcelain by the mill
lion.
At the recent auction above men
toned rhinoceros horns brought S13 a

mostly for curios. The horn of the
rhiroceros. by the way, is one of the
,ddit rs of nature, being composed OF
rlosely compacted hair.

SHRINE's MEANING NOT PLAIN
Erected to the Memory of Japanese
Maid, But Its Precise Idea
Hardly Apparent.

One Of the pretty shrines of Japan
is based on the story of beautiful
girl, and to this day occidentals can
not figure out if the shrine was to
perpetuatc tragedy or an honor. The
story is that Yamatodake, one of the
greatest warriors in the history of the
country, halted for q night at the
village of ShiL.odaira. He was weary
OF battle and strife and sent out word
to the village that he wished to be
entertained by the prettiast girl there.
Aemachiya was selected, and it is told
now she spent the evening singing
and dancing for the warrior. He went
on his maSterful way the next morning
leaving the little maiden to mourn his
passing, and to eve birth to his child
IN due time
Now, the child died rs did its moth
err, and the village erected the shrine,
and every few years it is rebuilt and
made more beautiful But what no
occidental can discover is whether the

grown to be, with our famous exacti-
tude. The old English stage coach
left at four but that meant at about
four Only noon could be depended
upon-and that when the sun chose
to shine Clocks did not come into
use in Europe until the Thirteenth
century. Portable clocks were not in
vented until toward the end Of the
Fifteenth, but sun dials were very
commonly worn-not set up in gardens
merely, as we are accustomed to see
ing them now. They were used quite
generally In this country until the
early part Of the Nineteenth century,
and even today, where conditions are
primitive, they are the reliance of
guides and huntsmen. Occasionally
they become the timepieces Of the
British army In uninhabited regions.
