CHILDREN OF JAPAN YOUNGSTERS HAVE HAPPY TIME IN THAT COUNTRY. Small Subjects of the Mikado Invarfc ably Well Treated and Scientific ally Brought Up—Are Never 8truck In Anger. Hie school a?e of the Japanese Child of well-to-do families usually be gins at six years of age, and up until .this period the little Japs are under the care of their nurses and mothers. Pew narses, however, in Japan are al lowed to exercise any discipline over their little charges, as the child in Japan is considered of i?reat impor tance. Any Japanese mother who would venture to turn her children over to a hired nurse, as is frequently done by wealthy American mothers, would promptly be admonished, not only by her husband, but by ail her male relatives on both sides of the family. So the Japanese children, before six years of age, are punished by their mothers, but this amounts to little. To slap a child is deemed not only a •ign of intense vulgarity aDd Ignorance, but is considered a grave offense against the child. To strike a child on the head or face is thought cruel and unnatural, and apt to Injure the child's health and intelligence. The Japanese child is seldom punished ex cept for doing things apt to injure the child or some other person. The principle used by the Japs in disciplining children is to guard them against wrong actions more than to constrain them through fear of pun ishment Prevent wrong actions is their aim rather than to punish the child. Children are always admonished but seldom compelled. When a Jap child is to be punished due notice is given the culprit, for parents or teachers or guardians are never supposed to lose their tempers or to punish in so-called hot blood. By an ancient and amusing custom all the household, Including the servants, are allowed to try and beg the little of fender off from his punishment. His or her little brothers and sisters usual ly offer to take the punishment on themselves. Angry looks and shout lng or harsh expressions are always deprecated by the Japanese learned men when punishing children. At school, in the younger grades, the teacher always attempts to guide his pupils by personal friendship rather than fear. The children in each class are taught to try to keep order among themselves, and the class cap tain, or kyuucho, is always allowed to call off the punishments. In high schools and institutions for graduate students the sentiment of each rules Its oonduct, and offenders are handled entirely by their fellow-students. This Is extremely effective, and Japanese students have many times committed suicide rather than face their angry fellow-classmen after serious breaches of class etiquette. The offenders are ignored by theli classmen, and are never spoken to, in •r out of the classrooms. A public apology by a naughty Japanese stu dent Is needed, and this apology must be made not to the professors of the institutions, but to the members of hie class. Then when the public apology has been made a vote is taken and 11 a majority are in favor of pardoning the offending student he Is received back by bis classmates.

This un venal generosity of a wife toward the children of her probable successor In the affections of her husband Is an ex tract from the will of Mrs. Dorothy Crevellng, late of Scott township, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Crevellng died 'la 1177, leaving a line farm and othei valuable real estate. Her husband, Benson Crevellng, and three children •arrived her.

How would you like to throw away all your kitchen utensils and most of the dishes send your flour, meats, •pices and other pantry stuff to a charitable association turn the kitch en into a den or sunroora turn the pantry unto a cozy corner, and live on nuts, fruits and food in tablet form? It's a loag question and it isn't abso lutely new, but it comes la for consid eration is connection with the recent discussion of "How to Get Rid of Household Drudgery," says the Kan sas City Times. The suggestion was made in good faith by a woman who believes in the system. Sbe advocates it without re gard to the fact that such a plan of "near eating" w«uld rob life of its dearest privilege, that of gazing on and devouring the luscious roasts and broils that competent cooks prepare, to say nothing of potatoes mashed, hashed or browned with butter and gravy and pumpkin pie. "This is ao Jest," the writer of the eesay says. "It has been my dream tor years. There Is only one solution to the problems of housskeeping, only eae way to escape the ills that come from unwise eating. Do away with the hltehea and pastry, live on fresh fruits, nuta and condensed foods in tablet form. Have a refrigerator or, better still, a oold storage room where drinking water may be cooled and the fruits chilled. An ornamental Jar or cabinet will hold enough tablets to feed a family tor a week or more. Think of the time saved that might be devoted to reading or outdoor exer cise! And with the money saved we ooald hay motor care or electric car riagac." Think ef the saving of time and energy, tod No more luncheons to pat «p la acwapapers every morning for the children and father.

Whence We? The origin of pie, especially mince pie, like the origin of saussge, is shrouded in mystery, but certain it is that it was known as far back as the time of Piers the Plowman, and it may he that in his dinner pail could have been found the precedent which Michael of Pittsburg, now of the hos pital, sought to follow. Those who are surprised, after being led to be lieve that New England is the habitat of the article, to learn that pie is an old English institution can easily ac cept the further statement that "plant ed on American soil It forthwith ran rampant and burst forth Into an un told variety of genera and species." Like the Irish potato, which is said to have originated in the new world, it has been so ingrafted into the life of its adopted country that it seems more like a native than an alien. Rewarded!

Augusta, Ga., ..—"I'll go Judge Landis one wtter, and make the tine $30,000,000," said Recorder Picquet, imposing sentence upon seven uegioea convicted of violating the health ordinance in allowing garbage to accumulate on their premises. The fine of $30,000,000 was imposed upon each of the defendants, a total of $210,000,000. Appreciating their inability to pay any such line—figures within them selves absolutely beyond their com prehension—the negroes sank to the bench with groans and staring eyes.

When the uproarious laughter which the announcement of the court's deci sion had subsided. Recorder Picquet suspended the sentence upon condi tion that each of the defendants de posit one dollar with the clerk. The ordinance under which the sen tence was imposed provides that the court "may impose any fine he fit." "RIPPER" STARTLES BERLIN. German Capital's Women in Terror as Two Are Slain. Berlin —Following a series of "Hipper" crimes which equal in ferocity and mystery the weird deeds of Frankenstein's monster, the city of Berlin was in a state of terror last night. Two women have been stabbed to death in the streets and numerous others attacked. Armed guards patrol the more un frequented streets of the suburbs, and even in the city proper women refuse to appear on the street without escort, as the entire feminine population of Berlin is now thoroughly frightened by the attacks. Several of the victims are now lying at the point of death in various hospitals. The "Ripper" is of a sort new even to Europe, and the police are at a loss to find any clew of his identity. The man uses a large awl In his at tacks and has stabbed women and girls at many parts of the city la the last two weeks.
