FEW DIVERSIONS IN JAPAN
Youngsters Work Hard In School, and
That 10 Probably Their Life's
HappIest Period.

Almost all forms of recreation
known to boys In America and Europe
are forbidden to the japanese school
boy. He is under social or economic
bans that restrict his play for long
periods to such dull pastimes as keep
ing a diary, writing and collecting
postal cards and attending a young
mems club-which has far less in
teresting functions than a club Ia
America, remarks the Detroit News.
Some Of the more fortunate Japa-
nese schoolboys may be permitted to
make a walking trip during vacation.
For them the trip is a memorable ad-
venture. The annual Opening of-the-
River festival gives opportunity to
watch the fireworks and lighted boats
on the Sumida. In the evening he sits
in his room, gazing from a window
or playing on flute that costs 10 or
Ia cents. Lantern professions, by
which the japanese celebrate their
many special days, are another diver
sion.
This has resulted in calling school
days the period Of bitter learning
regarded In later life as the students
happiest time. because when he leaves
school he marries a girl in whose Sc
lection he has no word. and must earn
his living with whatever tools are Civ
en- to him.

BLAME ANCESTORS FOR COLDS
Descendants Of Forest DweIIers In
hsrlt susceptibility TO Drafts,
II Is Asserted.

Do drafts bother you more than 9TH
er peoplei II SO. you probably have
German blood in your veins. This
opinion is advanced by Herr Prof.
Doktor Tn. Zell, according to the vos-
sische Zeitung.
Doctor Zell says that certain species
Of animals exhibit evident dislike for
drafts and that such beasts naturally
live in forests and sheltered places.
Conversely, animals whose natural
habitat is an open space are content
when breezes blow. Hence a horse
lets the wind smooth his coat while
monkeys and balloons shun such ex-
periences.
The professor In conclusion asks,
"Is 1t then a wonder that the Ger
mans, who in earlier centuries lived in
wooded regions, are still today more
susceptible to drafts than other peo-
pies who come from treeless coun-
triesT
An evident objection to this opinion
as the explanation Of sensitiveness to
drafts is that the ancestors Of all men
lived In forests, although some races
migrated earlier than others and
therefore 1t may be presumed lost
their ancestral susceptibility to drafts
earlier.

Elk Sheds AntIers Yearly.

Once a year elks shed their horns.
AS soon as the old ones are gone
new ones start. This process is re-
peated every year, the only difference
being that an upper prong appears
each time. Thus an elk's age can be
told by the prongs in one Of his ant
lers.
The shedding is apparently a pain
less occurrence. As an antler falls
of a ciot of blood forms at Its root.
In the first six months of its growth
there Is soft skin over the antlers (;
this is known as the velvet. AS long
as the velvet is there the antlers re-
main somewhat soft and sensitive,
but when the velvet pesls of the
antlers become hard and dry up, ana
they lose all feeling.

The Cliff pWellers.

Cliff-dwellers is the name Of a race
Of Indians, formerly living in the cliffs
bordering on the valleys Of the Rio
Grande and Rio Colorado. Their homes
were built in the recesses Of the cliffs
at a height often of several hundred
feet from the ground, and at the pres
ent time seemingly inaccessible, as the
former paths that led to them nearly
all have been destroyed by the crum-
bling away Of the rocks. The dwellings
sometimes consisted of many rooms,
and In some cases were two, or more,
stories high, hewn In the rock, with
wooden llntels in the doors and win
dows, which were probably closed
with skins or blankets. The walls were
finished with a plaster of clay. How
the inhabitants subsisted is not known,
but probably mainly by hunting and
fishing, as the soil about these local.
ties was barren. The Pueblo Indians,
who still are found in that section,
are thought to be descendants Of the
cliff-dwellers. They possess consider

RECALL OLD COLONIAL DAYS
Pearl Chain Of American Independence
May Be Traced Through Old
New England Attics.

Scattered here and there all through
New England are attics Of more than
usual interest. Many Of these are in
tlmately connected with early history.
One Of them is found in the old Cod
dington house at Quincy, Mass, known
as the Quincy mansion, and now in
the possession of the Colonial Danes.
Here. Mary Northend writes in the
Boston Transcript, In the early days
before 1t was remOdeled by Edmund
Quincy, a group of free thinkers gath
cred, including Wheelright and Anne
Hutchinson, both Of whom were after
ward banIshed on account Of their
liberal views, which did not coincide
with those Of the Puritans.
In the upper story. a low, dlngy at
tic, with its secret staircase behind
the huge chimney, still remains in
tact. On account of its peculiar con-
struction 1t might be termed double
attic. trapdoor leads from one part
into another division through which
escape can be made to the galleries
below and thence to the ground.
John Hancock, who married Doro-
thy Quincy, is reputed to have spent
a night in the nursery across the hall
from the attic. BY hiding here. he
foiied the British who were searching
for him, and later on used the secret
passageway to escape. All doubt that
he was at one time In this room Is sat
isfacto1ly banished by his initials u.
H." scratched on one Of the windows
with a diamond. The words You
love and you alone" scribbled on the
wall are also ascribed TO him.

HAD TO TIE THE YOUNGSTERS
Were Not to Be Trusted When Grand
mother Dipped the Candles on
the Old Farm.

There was another event that took
place once year in the big kitchen,
so much more exciting than spinning
that instead Of being allowed to sit at
liberty, with directions and cautions,
we had to be tied to the table legs
with a clothes line or we would have
been covered with grease. 1t was q
mysterious proceeding, which began
with my grandmother spreading q
space on the floor with Albany Jour
mails, and Ontario County Repositories
and Waterbury Americans. Then she
stirred the contents Of a brass kettle
that hung on the crane, and took up
the Waterbury Americans, cherished
souvenirs of her native town, and re-
placed them with ordinary Repoaito-
ries. Next she brought four kitchen
chairs and set them on the four cor
ners of the rectangle Of newspapers
and connected them with two poles.
Then she stirred the brass kettle again
and looked at the clock. Then she
proceeded to bring in a large number
OF rods, each Of which was looped with
six twisted wicks, and laid the ends
Of the rods neatly on the poles. 1t
was then that we were tied up with
little free rope allowed for limited
range, before the brass kettle was
emptied into the copper boiler.
And now the fun began, when my
grandmother dipped the first two rods
Of wicks into the boiler Of melted tai
low, and we danced as much as the
table legs would permit. 1t was TIVE
rods at a time and then two more, over
and over again until the full-grown
candles hung In rows, slender at the
top and enlarging to a thick, pointed
end at the bottom. 1t took some Of
the Joy out Of our young lives when
the tin molds came and put an end to
candle-dlpping.-W. Henry Shelton in
Scribner's.

Jokes In Architecture.

The builders of the old churches in
England were not SO serious but that
they now and then perpetrated a joke,
even In stone. On more than one of
their creations they carved in relief a
scene representing a monk preaching
solennly to flock of geese. The same
humorous spirit Is sometimes to be
detected In the domestic architecture
Of early times. Here is an instance:
Just upon the boundaries of Bed
fordshire and Hertfordshire formerly
stood a rambling old farmhouse. The
living room was long and low, and
on the center beam that went across
the ceiling was inscribed this legend /:
III you are cold. go to Hertfordshire"
This seemingly inhospitable invita-
ton was explained by the fact that
one-half Of the room was in one county
and one-half In the other. The fire.
place was In Hertfordshire.

RICHMOND GAS RATE
DECISION INTENDED :
g. TO AID USE IN home
cBy Associated Press)


INDIANAPOLIS, May Gas rates
were ordered increased in Richmond
today by the Indiana public service
commission. In acting on the petition
of the Richmond Heat, Light and Pow
er company, the commission also rec
commended that the utility reduce its
capitalization.
The new rate for gas will be rs
cents, to replace a sliding scale of
from IS to As cents. The effect is a
reduction of small consumers bills
and an increase and consequent dis
couragement of industrial consumers
bills and usage. The gas is natural
and the order is intended as conser-
walton measure. The company should,
according to the commissions orders,
wipe out its 100000 of common stock
and convert its $4,000 preferred
stock and it's $144,119 notes payable
into common stock and should sub
stantially reduce its funded notes and
bonds.
