CIVIC ORDINANCE N JAPAN All Houses Have Tatilet Telling Name of the Responsible Dweller Within the Walls. | . | ‘COMPOSER AT SIX o In Japan you can learn a good-many things about the resident of a house werely by looking at his door. Ac- cording . to police regulations, ‘says a writer in Chambers’ Journal the en- trance to every residence must bave a small wooden tablet affixed to it. This tablet has the name and the number of the house on it, and on another tablet is the name of the responsjble house- holder, who in many cases is an in- fant, a younger brother of a relative. Sometimes, though rarely, the names | {4 of other inmates are placed over the i} door, but there is no police regulation | ;_ that requires it, except in the case of | boarding hoases, which have to place their boarders’ names: outside for all to see. A person fortunate enough to possess a telephone always has the number proudly displayed over bis en- trance. Near it you will often see a quaint enameled or tin disk. That is the fire insurance mark. Every fire insurance company has its own special metyl plate, which it nails to the lintel when it insures a house. There are always several small Dieces of paper pasted over the door, | Master Morton Gould of Richmond placed there by the police. One is to ‘Hiu.

An interesting sidelight on history lies in the story of how the wife of James Monroe, fifth President, saved the life of Madame Lafayette at the time Monrge was American ambassa- dor to France. Lafayette himself was in prison in Germany, and kept in a foul dungeon. Mme. Lafayctte had heen seized by the Revolutionists, and was confined in the prison of La Force, and a date had been set for her execu- tion. The Monroes were very much alive to the great debt America owed the young aristocrat, and Mrs. Monroe determined to do what she could. She ordered the state coach of the embassy, with its flaring coat of arms, to deliver her to the doors of the prison of La Force, and once there, calmly requested an interview with the unfortunate prisoner. An interview with a person sentenced to the knife was unheard of, but the dawning power of the United States was such that the officials dared not refuse the request of the ambassador’s wife. A few words were exchanged between the women, and Mrs. Monroe drove away. The next morning she was liberated, the French Revolutionists fearing to execute her, and desiring thus to secure the friendly attention of the new nation. It was a daring the bread is almost as heavy as a pav-, | Ing stone and quite as indigestible. So he goes to work every morning with a heavy heart and an even heavier stomach, and is bedeviled with gripes and abdominal pains all day, Greene M. Farley writes in the Seattle Post- Intelligencer.

This last week, he , he had biscuits that would do for | sinkers on a fish line and an angel | cake that could not be differentiated from old putty. The heartrending fea- | ture 'is that she asks him with a i bright smile how he likes it all, and he cannot find it In his breast to tell the truth about it; so he lies frankly and wholeheartedly. All this is getting on his nerves and on his stomach and on his conscience. In the course of a little time he feels his life insurance is going to be due, Should he tell her the truth, or should he suffer in silence and let her g0 ahend and collect the life insur- ance? If life is worth anything to him he might conclude to tell her the truth and let her go ahead and procure ker divorce.

CAT SCORED USUAL VICTORY Japanese Legend Merely Another Feather in the Cap of the Ever- Conquering Feline. There is an enchanting story told by the Lady Sei Shonagon, a beauty -of Japan of nine centuries past, of the emperor’s favorite cat — herself a spoiled beauty. She had received a | cap of honor and had been raised to ! the third rank of nobllity, with the title of Wiyobu-no-Ototo, or “Chief of the Female Attendants,” and was a | cat of many graces. Unfortunately, on a day of disobedience, her lady-in- | waiting summoned the emperor's dog, Okinamaru, to startle her into good be- havior. He barked obediently, and the cat dashed madly behind the screen, where his majesty sat at break- fast, and sought refuge in his arms. The emperor, much shocked, sent for the lord high chamberldin, and pro- nounced, sentence on poor Okinamaru. A thrashing and exile! The Lady Sei ratus and the present husband olggllt describes him as hitherto a happy dog not to stand in the way of his wife’s ;5,4 much esteemed.

Oysters Have Many Enemies. Between the planting and the har- vest, an interval of from two to five years, the oyster culturist assumes many hazards. On the New England coast, after all his material is down, the fickle “set” may not appear, pos- sibly because at the critical time some weather disturbance may have killed the baby oysters while they were yet swimming near the surface. In the Gulf of Mesico the “set” may be so heavy that there is scant room for the oysters to grow, and many die, while those that are left are half starved and misshapen from crowding. Even when the little oysters or “spat,” have attached themselves in favorable num- Dbers, their perils have just begun. They sre never safe from other ene- mies until they fall into the hands of | their arch foes, When the Ships Come In. In Hawaii, the Philippines and Cuba Mexicans Are Great Walkers. | There is a saying in Europe that w} the Spaniards are the champion walk- | ers of the world, and certainly their descendants in America, the Mexicans, are the champions of the new world. Three nights every week there is a concierto in the main downtown plaza i In Monterey and nearly all the Amer- fcans in town, including many big, husky transients on the way to or from Tampico, sit on the park benches and watch in wonder while the Mexi- cans walk. All the young people in town, it ap- | pears, walk around and around and | around that plaza, the boys in one direction and the girls in the opposite direction, while their parents and chaperons and a few aged people share the benches With the husky Americans. | Japanese Idea of Tea.
