SUN DIAL
AGAIN IN USE

Through the public spirit of DIR.
Joseph Murphy of this town the old
sun dial which years ago was used
to determine the time of day in DeX-
ter has been mounted upon GEM
ent stand on the lawn of the Abbott
Memorial Library of this town where
it will remain for all time.
This old sun dial was bought with
funds raised by public subscription
and cost the sum of 500, which
when it was bought 100 years ago,
was indeed a large sum and meant
much to those who assisted in rails
ing it. 1t was first set in the rear of
what it now S. L. Smalrs Grist mill,
and was upon stone that later
served for the corner stone of the
building occupied by Dustin's store.
The sun dial was discarded and
for many years was lost apparently,
until it was discovered serving as a
cover for a pork barrel of one of
the local market men, by the late s..
c.. Page who thereby purchased 1t
of the dealer for the sum of 90 cents.
Some months ago Mrs. S.. c. Page
gave the dial to DR.. Murphy who
feeling that it should be given to- the
public had it mounted at his own
expense in it's new and final place.
The dial was set by w. B. Gould,
civil engineer and is now ready to
serve the public as correct time
piece.
The annual parish meeting of the
Congregational church will be held
Saturday evening at o'clock in
the vestry of the church.
The children of the primary de-
partment and the cradle roll with
their mothers will be entertained
in the church vestry Saturday AFTER
noon from until o'clock.
The 10th annual meeting or the
Dexter Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union was held Tuesday at
Temperance hall. The opening per-
iod included a brief memorial SER
vice for the five white ribboners who
have been promoted during the
wear. 1t was voted to continue the
regular feature study of municipal
civics. The old board of officers
were unanimously reelected; Miss
Jennie Sturteyant, president; Mrs.
Mary V. Pierce, corresponding sec
rotary; Mrs. Myra d. Mckechine,
recording secretary; Mrs. Eliza
Parkman, treasurer. The following
were chosen delegates to the county
convention: Miss Annie Lee Ridge

Pretty wedding Custom.

Among the quaintest of wedding
cusom is that practiced at Rou-
manian marriages, where at the ban
quet following the religious cere-
mony the bridegroom receives his
bride over a bridge OF silver. A bag
of coins fresh from the mint is pro-
duced, and the contents placed in
two rows across the table. This
done, the father of the bridegroom
makes a speech, in the course OF
which the latter is enjoined to pro-
vide always q silver pathway for his
spouse through life. The young man
makes a more or less suitable reply,
and then the bride is lifted on the
table and steps very daintily across
on the coins, being very careful not
to displace any of them, for that
would mean the worst of bad luck.
Arrived at the other side of the ta-
BILE, she leaps lightly into her hus-
bands arms.

a Japanese Shoe Shop.

Like all other shops In Japan, a
shoe shop opens q broad side to the
street. 1t seems a misnomer to call
it a shoe shop, q place where you
can only buy sandals OF clogs, things
we are not accustomed to call shoes.
There is a low platform In front,
upon which the customer sits and
drinks tea while making his or her
purchases; the shop keeper mean
while sQuatting on his heels and dis
cussing the news of the day.
The sandals worn by the risksha
coolies are called waraf; they are
woven of rice straw, and are sold for
half a cent a pair. They are made in
the country villages, and the for
eigner watches the weaving with
amused interest. The prehensile big
toe Of a Japanese is of great assist
ance, as 1t is used for catching and
holding the straws, leaving the
hands free to weave.
The pack horse wears straw shoes
as well as the farmer who leads him.
New pairs are strung around the
high saddle, and the slow-moVing
beast is reshod every few miles.
In the Japanese shop one will find
many varieties of clogs; a few with
the caps, others plain. A few years
ngo the social position of a man,
oma or girl was indicated by the
kind Of clog worn and the decora-
tons on 1t.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-03-12

The plucking of ostrich feathers is
a very delicate task. At the proper
season a man carefully examines the
flock, and picks out those birds
whose feathers are ripening, groups
them into dozens, and pens them In,
so that they cannot run about and
injure their beautiful plumage.
When the p~lucking time comes, the
bird is enticed into a narrow, dark
passageway. The entrances are then
closed and the bird thus imprisoned.
A cloth bag is thrown over the crea-
lures head. Then the plucking be-
gins. Three men, perched upon plat
forms without the pen. reach over
the board Enclosure and with curious
~scissor-like appliances pluck off the
feathers. Whatever wounds a bird
~mayreceive are Immediately dressed.
The tail feathers are pulled and not
cut, simply because they reproduce
better than other feathers Of the os-
trich. While the plucking is in pro-
gress the ostrich keeps up a dismal
roaring. Were it not for the staunch
construction OF the pen the creature
would kick the boards into splinters.
