DIVORCE EASY IN OLD JAPAN
What Is Prescribed, Concerning the Matter, in the Oldest cOde of
 Nippon Lave.

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- sisting of three and half lines.
 There is an old usage that one who proposes to marry has to draw up 8 written contract consisting of seven lines and submit it to the fiancee's mother. And love letters used to be written in three and half lines. The KOShibagaki, one of the best pOrnO- graphic books attests the usage of giv- ing certificates of divorce to the dis owned wife in the Seventeenth cen tury.
 Although 1t is unknown when adopted, the oldest code of Japanese laws states that the husband at the divorce of his wife should give writ rrn 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 fin the temple.

PROPER CARE OF THE DOG
Household Pet, Particularly # 1t 10 Kept indoors, Must Be Given
 Regular Attention.

To keep a dog healthy be sure to attend regularly to its toilet.
 Many owners wash their dogs in the summer, but neglect to do so In the winter This is a mistake. While in the summer months the dog will appreciate wash once a week, during the winter once monthly should be the order, says an exchange.
 The length of time between each wash will depend upon the life the dog leads and the amount of grooming it receives All animals should be regularly brushed down. Indoor dogs call for a more frequent toilet than outdoor ones; the former may be washed once a month and the latter every five or six weeks. The indoor dog, too, should be grOomed more frequently than the outdoor one. Washing tends to soften the hairs, so that wire-haired dogs intended for ex- hIbition are constantly groomed rather than frequently washed.
 To wash a dog successfully first see that the soap is rubbed we'll in and then that it is propely rinsed out. Guard against chills after the bath, and never let the dog retire to It's kennel until the coat is thor Oughly dry. If the weather is in- element wash and dry the dog in front of the fire, but not too near. Tn drying use several towels and finish with a good brush-dOwn. If the coat dries slowly wrap the dog in thick blanket and leave the animal near the fire

OWNS AND RUNS COAL MINE
Girl Has Been Successful In BusInsSs In Which Few of Her Sex Have
 Been Engaged.

"I wonder when we'll ever get our coal" the complaint of many house wives for few seasons past, will not he voiced by Miss Ricka Ott, twenty one years old. who industriously mines coal daily in little wagon mine" on her fathers farm in the hills Of Mount Oliver, Pa., near Pittsburgh.
 Ricka is her own boss-miner, Oper- atOr, manager, distributor. Day after day she cheerfully sings as she wheels her "black diamonds from the mine. Along about three years ago, when all the mines of western Pennsylvania were working to their fullest capacity, to keep an amending stream of coal flowing 10 the mills where weapons and munitions were being turned out Ricka was imbued with the desire to do her share toward the winning of the great conflict. She suggested to her father, Gregor Ott, a steel worker that they open a mine. Ricka's father scorned the idea of giving up per fectly good job in the steel mills for the uncertainty of small coal mine.
 "I will mine the coal and sell it," said Ricka. He laughed at the idea of a girl mining coal and driving truck. She gave her father no rest until he agreed to start a mine for her, and she has since proved more than a match for the other miners of the cOun- try.
 Last year Miss Ott mined 5000 bush els of coal, and distributed it to her customers-DearbOrn Independent.

The TeIe&cope.,

Tradition has it that about the be- ginning of the Seventeenth century one Jansen, a spectacle maker of Middle burg, Holland, constructed telescope about Is inches in length, which he ex- hibited to Prince Maurice and the Archduke Albert, who, appreciating the importance of the discovery, paid him a sum of money to keep it concealed. Another spectacle maker, Lippershey made application in 1908 to the states general for a patent for a telescope, as also did Metius, a professor of math- ematics, but in the former instance, at least, it was refused, as the apparatus was already known, If seems certain that the instrument was known more or less about Europe, but the honor of its invention usually is given to Calico who was the first to describe the in strument and exhibit it in complete form tn May, 1909.

A Secret Society.

"It would shock. or bore. or disgust the world in general. l suppose. if all the school teachers and office workers who want to marry should suddenly tell the truth. The public prefers to believe rhaI women cherish their eco homie independence more tenderly than they ever could cherish husbands and babies. And our pride helps to keep up the great delusiOn.
 Many of us, especially the older ones, would never admit our loneliness and disappointment, perhaps, even to ourselves; but the majority, l believe, have had to tell someOne-sOme equally lonely woman friend-wheth- er or not we told it in words, the story of frustrated hopes. of bafied in- stincts, of imprisoned powers.
 We form a kind of great secret society. The initiation is, mercifully, gradual; the dues are endless; the badge may be anything from a com mutation ticket to a Phi Beta Kappa key; the password, seldom uttered, Is always the same-loneliness."

BULL PoUT QUITE AT HOME
hOroOs OF This Remarkable Fish Yarn FurnIsh eemSthinS New in
 PIseaterIaI Stories.

One feels almost like apolOgizing for telling a fish story that isn't bit like any other fish story ever told since the days of Jonah, but there is one good excuse for the uniqueness Of this fish story. It Is gospel truth, says George L. Brown, according to the New York Sun. The scene of 1t is ElizabethtOwn, a village completely surrounded by AdirOndacks.
 The streams, and ponds around ElizabethtOwn have been famous in their day for speckled trout and more recently for pickerel, perch. black bass and bull pOut.
 Let the humble bull pOut be the he- TO of this yarn. the Sacramento eat. as he has been named in California. the sluggish brOwser of weedy ponds, that will live wherever frog can and bite anything from an anglewOrm- to a piece of tin dinner pail. And the bull pOut's tenacity of life may be credited with a good share of the uniQueness of this unprecedented fish story.
 In the days when the thing hap pened the young fellows of Elizabeth town used to go fishing for bull pOut Saturday nights in Lincoln pond or in the marsh" not far away. And on Saturday night Carl E. Daniel and his cousin. the late Arthur H. Norton, went out and brought home a fine mess after midnight.
 Carl was tired and he just dumped his bull pouts with the grass in which he had carried them home, into a dIshpan. Then it occurred to him to put the dishpan the kitchen sink and turn on the faucet little, and he did so before going to bed.
 That's where the story begins. The rest of 1t happened while Carl was asleep. You see, the grass OverfOwed with the water from tne dishpan and clOgged the drain Of the sink. And then the sink filled up and OverflOwed And then the whole of the ground floor of CarTs home, Colonial Cottage" be- came a pond. And when Carl got up on Sunday morning and went into the kitchen he found all his mess of bull bouts swimming around over the floor as happy as if they were back in Lin coln pond.
 That's the story. and if you doubt that 1t happened in just that way you can ask Carl. who is now head of the EIizahethtOwn Hardware company, Inc

Eunas Prevent Fires.

When an electric current flows through a wire it makes the wire warm, explains Popular Science. Diff ferent materials resist the flow to diff ferent extents and are accordingly heated to different degrees. Fuse wire is made of an alloy containing a large proportion of lead, which gets very warm when large currents pass through it. Furthermore, since this alloy melts easily, the current, if large enough, may cause the fuse wire to melt.
 Wherever current is being consumed in the house or factory, a piece of fuse wire Is put somewhere in the circuit If through accident or design too much current should be used, the fuse wire will melt, or, as is usually described "blow," and stop the flow of current before the copper wire inside the walls can heat up and set fire to the house

 And they went, Betty driving the car and Jerry keeping beside her.
 Her case was quickly disposed of.
 'eTen dollars or 8 night in jail" said the judge.
 Betty began to weep and Jerry felt his courage waning. But he thrust his sympathy 'rudely aside.
 "T-I haven't any money with me, y Betty pleaded. "Will you pay my fine, Jerry?"
 Not much," he said sternly. "It's the lookup for you"
 He winl1ed at the judge. The judge had some humor in his makeup and he seemed to sense the real situation.
 "Of1cer, lock her up," he ordered.
 Jerry led her away, down a cOrri- dor lined with barred doors. He stopped at one.
 "This will be yOurs," he said.
 "But, Jerry" she walled, "surely you wouldn't do this terrible thing"
