In China, when a native family sits down to dine, the men of the house hold and the mala guests, if there fce any, are served first. Their food conves to them steaming hct. The women must wait until later to ce served, and by that time the food has : grown cooiti. iii'j iuiu.ntm.u eat immediately the dishes of Beam ing hot food are set before them. Rice, cow rc-as and other things are bolted hot. The women have to Japanese Royal Palace Is Separated From Other Places in Tokio by Triple Moat. The mikado, earth-born son of heav en, and hi3 court of demigods dwell in a forest solitude in the midst of the great city of Tokio. The palace world is separated from the world of the people by a triple moat of dead water and a double wall of granite crowned by twisted pine trees and mottled with the moss of ages. Except upon stated occasions, the mikado is as invisible and well nigh as Inacces sible as the sun goddess amid the be hereditary treasures of thelse shrine.

Eashford at the recent annual meeting of the Imperial Can cer Research Fund held in London. He said, in referring to the alarming in roads made by cancer among China men, that the frequency of the disease would be diminished if such practices as the eating of very hot rice were discontinued.

N J 12-11 j In his august person the hotly dis puted origin of his race nnd3 its re flection, for he has the eyes of the Mongol, the coloring and facial struc ture of the Malay? Unlike the reigning houses of Aus tria, Russia and Prussia, the house of Japan, which, thanks to the system of rdural wives and the custom of adop tion, has survived so many hundred years in an apparently unbroken line, has no family name and the given names of its members are not by any means what they seem to be or to mean upon a superficial examination. The Mikado Mitsuhito is not the "meek man" nor is Prince . Haru a "verdant" or "springlike prince." These names have an occult meaning which is probably hidden from all ex cept the princes of the blood and it is in a close family council that they are decided upon. Behind the moss-groVn battlements and the stagnant moats, the Lord of Ten Thousand Years leads a singular ly sober and frugal life. It has been suggested that he is still haunted by the memory of the threadbare court of his father, the Emperor Komei, where not seldom even food was lacking. The support of hawking and of the old swordmakers with their secret meth ods of tempering steel and his efforts to collect the widely scattered books relating to the Shinto cult are his only extravagances. Metropolitan Mags On the morning of September 9, 1893, the following advertisement appeared in the "Lost and found" NEW YORKER INVENTS HOUSE column of the Chicago Tribune: LOST Sept. 6, in Ladies' Toilet , In Two Sections, With Walls and Roof Hung on Hinges Quite Easy to Keep Ventilated. A rather elaborate pomtry house has been designed by a New York man. It is in two sections, one of which slides upon the other and is small enough to be easily taken apart. The lower section has screens along I Useful Poultry House. its side walls, while the wooden walls are hinged at the top so that they can be opened at any angle desired, chains holding them in position. In this "way ventilation can be obtained and the interior protected from rain or too much light. The upper section, which has a peaked roof, has a door at one end and a series of roosts ar ranged around the sides and ends on the interior. One-half of the roof ia screened, too, and the top on this side Is hinged eo that it can be kept open or closed. The entire roof can also be slid on or off at will. This arrange ment makes it easy to clean the house thoroughly in all parts and keep it well ventilated, thus eliminating In sect pests to a great degree.

In ihe winter they huddle closer together, but in the summer there should be plenty ol room to allow them to spread out. Perches should be 12 inches apart and not closer than 15 inches to the wall or celling. Show -birds, especially Hinged Perches and Dropping Board. Leghorns or similar types should be kept at a greater distance from walls and ceilings. Many good birds are spoiled by "brooming" their tails against the walls. There are several methods of mak ing movable perches. One of the most common is by hinging them to the wall at the back. tOEWNOTK The fowls must be fed at least twice a day. Exercise is necessary for both health and egg production. A box of crushed oyster shell should always be within reach. Split carrots, turnips and cabbage in bair, instead of chopping line. Clear fresh water is necessary foi the hens at all times and all seasons. The most profitable way to keep chickens of any kind Is to feed tliera well. To obtain a supply of winter eggs we must have the chicks out early In the spring. CMd fowls require less feed than young ones and it Is a mistake to overfatten them. The walls and roosts should be kepi free from mites, which suck the life blood of the fowls. Cement floors should be well cov ered with straw. The bare floor is too hard and too cold. ' After the second annual molt hen are apt to become egghound, espe cially if well fed and fat. When the clean, fresh eggs are gath ered they should be put in a clean, dry, cool place until marketed. A plump young turkey, dressing from eight to fifteen pounds, finds a market at almost any season of the year. To insure success have the build ings for the hens ready early, and choose fowls or the right age and ia good condition. Do you take The Commonealth. the time that he and hid wife had been visitors at the World's Fair, and out of idle curios'ty he turned to the "Lost and Found" department to see if possibly there might be any thing there about the rings his wife had found. There his eye lighted upon the advertisement above. A letter written to the chief of police of Louisville soon put Mrs. Marks in correspondence with Mrs. Turner, who had removed to a su burb of the Kentucky city, and the long lost jewels were restored. It had taken some time for the ''want ad" to do its work in this particular case, but even then, the jewels being valued by Mrs. Turner at $1,500 she is very well satisfied with the invest ment, j If yon haven't the time to exercise regularly, Dean's Regulets will pre vent constipation.
