Tho character and the ideals of any natio aro always pithily expressed In the popular proverbs that have become part of the everyday speech of the poo - pie, Here 1s some of an Interesting proverbial philosophy of the Japanese; One Japanese characteristic, perse- verance, is expressed in the saying: "Fall eevon times, stand up the eighth time." Another proverb in the saute vein declares: "A road of a thousand utiles begins with ono step," The Japanese equivalent of "casting pearls before swine' 'Is "giving gold coins to a cat,' laud Instead of "a wolf In shoep's clothing" they speak of "u wolf dressed in a priest's robes," When a Japanese wishes to explain that n thing is quite impossible lie tells you that one night as well "learn to swim in a held" or "lap up the ocean with a tIi011."

If you have floors which aro stained and soiled with paint the first thing to ho done is to apply caustic potash to tho paint stains, and leave It on until they aro dissolved. It may Lake a couple of days to do this if tho paint is hard, and after- wards the floor should be well scour- ed and dried. If tho boards do not fit perfectly, have tine spaces filled with putty or with a mixture which has often been recommended, old newspapers soaked in a pasto rnade of water and flour. Tho proportions of this aro ono pound of flour, three quarts of water, and ono tablespoonful of powdered alum. Tho newspapers must be torn to bits, and the whole thoroughly boiled, and mixed until of the consistency of put- ty. It may be colored with a little of tho staining mixture, and should be forced into the cracks with a knife, when it will soon become hard and ?ry like papier macho.

Perhaps It would bo best for tho novice to buy the stain already mixed, but a little experimenting will give excellent results, and the expense will, of course, be less. If a soft yellow the color of pine is desired, use raw sienna, diluted very thin with tureen. flue, This does not show dust or foot- marks liko the darker statins, and is very desirable in rooms which aro much used.

For a fancy border you may use a contrasting shade, A good way is to experiment with the different stains on bits of wood of the same quality us the floor until the deslred tint le obtained, 'Che chief objection to a stained floor proceeds, undoubtedly from tho fact that the dust remains on tho surface, instead of being absorbed as it is in a carpeted room. To get rid of this it is only necessary to tie a piece of soft flannel around u broom and go over the hoards every day or two, This is really but tho work of a few minutes, and the frequent polishing gives a fine gloss not to bo gained In any other way.

A still better proceeding is to keep the house and sleeping rooms thoroughly screened and not allow mosquitoes in the house at all, Buy some good screen—galvanized, copper or brass—with fine mesh, say 16 or even 18 to the inch; or linen mosquito - netting, which is strong and service- able and not affected by dampness, can bo used.

Tho story -tellers were introduced as Mr. Newfoundland, Miss Spitz or Miss Chow, each impersonating by some characteristic antic tho dog given him or her and tolling tho story in tho first person.

BY GEORGE F. LUMB, g q y' At the time when my son was about three years old, I happened to read a book on Psychology which gave me a new interest in my boy's development, In the evening I would take him on my knee and tell him a story pur- posely designed to impart to his child mind some fucts that would interest and at the same time instruct him. For example I would start off liko this: "Once upon a time there was n kind farmer. IIe had two little boys, Jackie and Tommie. Ono day tho farmer tools his little boys out to the apple tree that grew near the barn and he said, 'Now you have both been good boys and I am going to give you the apples that are on this tree,' There were five apples on the tree and the farmer picked them all. Ho gave three apples ,to Jackie and he gave—let me see, three and two are five—ho gave the other two apples to Tommie." After n few weeks of telling often the same story, I would bo more de- liberate in making my calculation, and tho response would come from my little boy. I remember the thrill I felt one evening when I was tolling him about a farmer who had three mules and four horses—NYC had used the same combination in a squirrel story. This farmer wanted to build a now stable. I said; "Now let me see, how inany not bo unpleasant to one's associates.

More than half of her ' time is spent in the kitchen, but those hours aro lengthened if she attempts to do efficient worlc with inefficient equipment. Immediately sho places herself into bondage of villiaun kitchen vassalage. The more time 811e spends in the kitchen, the more time she will need, to spend, and to no satisfying result.

In its day Texas has been under six different flags. First was the 1 renclt, then the Spanish, and then the Mexican. On shaking off the Mexican yoke, Texas was for some years an independent republic, and at one time it was doubtful whether it would consent to join the United ' States. Even after It had done so ' It was one of the seceding States of tiie Civil War, and so added a sixth' dag, the Confederate, to its record.I • To -day Texas Is the largest grow- er of cotton in the whole world, and i ebntributes one-seventh of the toorld's total oil supply. It is also frinlous for its live stock, and has vast and practically untouched min- I eral resources. The story of Texas oil production meads like a fairly tale. It starts with the Spindletop oil -rush in 1901, and continues through a series of amazing adventures and discoveries to the present day. The happy accident Which led to the sensational Burk- • btirnett discovery of 1918 is typical of this Odyssey of "liquid gold." A farmer named Fowler, who !iv- ied near Burkburnett, was "fed -up" ' With his farm. He wanted to sell it, hilt his wife opposed the idea. Fin- ally, when he determined that he Mould wait no longer, and had even l•ound a prospective purchaser, Mrs. Fowler gave in. But she asked hint lei make at least one test for oil be- fore he committed bimselt. • To humor her Fowler agreed, and arranged matters with a drilling con- tractor, who selected a site and or- dered the necessdry machinery to bo taken to it. By a mistake the mach - leery was taken to the wrong place, Tae contractor, however, decided that one spot was as good as another, and drilled where the machiney was. The result was a well which produc- ed 1,600 barrels the first day. Had leo drilled where he intended to he could have struck no oil, and the g eat Burkburnett boort aright never 11vo occurred. • One of the great characters of Texas of the old cowboy days was "Judge" Bean,'saloon-keeper and Jus- tice of the Peace, who dealt out rough and ready justice to the malefactors of a district three hundred miles aeI'oss for twenty years. All trials tools place in his saloon, and between asses he would descend from his ju- dicial chair to serve drinks to his eastomers. Gypsies Believe In Water. Gypsies are great believers in the ebrativo value of cold water. When a child is born it is immediately im- mersed in running water. When ar5mo one is ill he is given Water—cold water, hot water, water aril the time; water against head- dches, as a cure for rheumatism and all old -age complaints. When a man 1d over 50 they say: "He is drinking Old age water," They use water to cure lits of horses and cattle and sheep. Even their incantations for Happiness, their love potions and Bate potions are all water. Naturally a, deal of hokum goes with it. Water their religion, heir witchcraft. The opason gypsies move from one place to another is because they are going to better and better waters—to swift - ' i;' running waters. The gypsies use no drugs of any kind; not even herbs, tried or boiled. Next to water, their other remedy is fat—lard, grease and 'butter. They apply that to wounds after washing them. Water, grease and sunshine begins the gypsies' prayer to Tchluna, the mother of !the world. The "Drarnkar(rs Cloak." '' This cloak is in reality a barrel with one end knocked out, and a hole foe the head, in which inebriates were once paraded through the streets as a means of punishment for their over- indulgence. The dr'unkard's cloak was essentially a North -Country pun- lshment, and was Inflicted by magis- trates during the Commonwealth. The article is thus described in "The History of Intemperance": "The bar- rel had one head out and a hole though the other, through which the offender was made to put his head; - while his hands were drawn through two small holes, one on each side, ' With this he was compelled to march - along the public streets." Members Pay In 1898. County members of Parliament re- ceived tie. a day when Parliament wits sitting in 1393---a borough mem- cation, and dashing at hint, struck hint with its dangerous whip, The diver drew a dagger and managed to drive the blade through the ray's head, between the eyes. Even so, the great fish struck and struck again, its barb cutting deep Into the rubber of the diving suit. Cappadonna wa'i hauled up in an utterly exhausted condition, with his diving suit leaking badly. In Eastern water's hundreds of divers are employed to search for pearls, or rather for pearl shell. The pearl -shell oyster Is as big as a din- ner plate and a man cannot bring many up at a time. In this work his chief danger arises from a wicked little brute called the stone fish. This flsh is only a few inches long, but its bite is extremely poisonous. It makes its home under the pearl shell, and It is when picking up a shell that the diver is attacked, his bare hand being bitten. If this happens, the diver remains under water as long as possible, for the pressure causes bleeding at the bitten part, and this, to sante extent, expels the poison. Tho Romance of Helium. The atom of helium is the smallest of the series and is identical with the atone expelled by radium and other radio -active substances. Perhaps most of the helium in the world has been fired off, atom by atom, from radio- active substances. It is collected in large quantities in the United States and Canada, where it is found bub- bling up in certain springs. Helium is used nowadays to fill dirigibles, for its lifting power is al- most as great as that of hydrogen. A hydrogen -filled airship is, of course, liable to disaster, but helium does not explode and cannot bo fired. The name "helium" means "sun - substance," because it was first dis- covered In the sun itself. In 1868 the French astronomer, Janssen, drew attention to sorno lines in the sun's spectrum which hitherto had escaped notice, and from these it was natural- ly inferred that there was an un- known element in the sun, which was named helium although it was not yet discovered. Trues of its presence were dis- covered In various terrestrial sub- stances, and. in 1895 the late Sir William Ramsay produced enough of It to examine from the rare mineral cleveite. In 1918 scientists discover- ed that helium natural gases in West- ern America, and during the war the British Government began to investi- gate its possible t►c,e in dirigibles, Whereas before the wig helium was worth as much as £40% a cubic toot, its price is now down to a few pence.---Tit-Bits, Wheat Fields Supercede Lake,, At one tithe the fertile St. Joaquin valley in California, was a huge lake with an area of approximately 108 square miles. Geologists believe that origivally the lake covered 1,000 square miles. The early settlers started reclaiming the shallow parts of the lake by levees. Later on high- er levees were -erected. Slowly the old lake was encroached on until it was squared and resquared by levees 30 feet high. The reclaimed lands were exceedingly fertile, and wheat was grown on thein. The old lake bed is 80 dry that in some places the farmers have to punip to a depth of 2,100 feet to get any water. It is so ciao that no crops could be raised without irrigation. - Nevertheless, maps, those of the State and Federal Government and tourist agencies and railroads, continue to display neaps which show a large blue circle, about half the size of San •Francisco Bay and bearing the captain "Lake Tu- lare," The fact is there Is no .such lake and hasn't been for so long that it is difficult for the oldest inhabitant to remember it. Geese on Guard, Wild geese are extremely wary, and take nothing for granted, While feeding they have a perfect system of sentries. Not content with this, every now and then two or three will fly round high up to see that nothing is even approaching them from a distance. Their hearing is very acute, and it is said their sense Of solei' is aleo.

The former originally bore the name of pall-mall, and was a popu- lar pastime centuries ago. Lacrosse, again, was played by the Indian na- tives of America before Columbus discovered the great continent of the West, receiving its present name from one of the early French missionaries to America, who wrote the first de- scription of the game. Polo is scarcely to be called a popular gauze, in the ordinary sense of popularity, but it may not be amiss to include it in this reference. Polo certainly has an interesting his- tory, for it had a great popularity in the time of the ancient Greeks, and was also played in Persia, Tibet, and other Eastern lands centuries ago, Born In tho Clouds. While the cruiser Dante was open for inspection at Auckland, New Zea- land, a baby was horn. In commem- oration of her birthplace the baby is heiug called Dante, and as a memen- to the ship's officers presented the , IIeW-Ce11101' with 41 beautifully -bound edition of the "Legend of Dante," to- gether with a edict brooch bearing a reproduction of the ship's coat of arias. A year or 80 ago a baby was bora In a London 'Tube train. A reminder of the event is incorporated in the baby's Christian names—Theliac Ur- sula Beatrice Eleanor, the initials of which slake "Tube." Many babies are born at sea, but It Is doubtful if any entered such a trouhlous world as a Gertuan baby girl bora In slid -Atlantic during tt recent terrible storm.

When a Hou 1'e Not 11.1s Father's llielr. When one thinks of matriarchy one automatically imagines an iristi- tut ion which existed In remote tunes. The general idea Ta that the women of the tribe who wielded power when the world was young were unable to preserve their monopoly, and men gradually ousted them and since then have reigned supreme. It will, therefore, come as a com- plete surprise to most people to learn that there is a large kelt of country In southern India where matriarchy si111 nourishes as it the hands of the clock of time had not moved at all, in that respect, during scores of cen- turlc s. And what is still more sur- prising, the people in that region do not live ill hovels and amid primitive condition's. On the contrary, educa- tion flourishes among theta even to a greater extent than it dens in other parts e1' India. Side by side with matriarchy are, indeed, to be found institutions highly prized in Europe and Anrl-rica. '!'his land of matriarchy is known as ilalahar. It is washed on one side by the warm waters of the Indlatt Ocean, and rutoff from the rest of India by n long series of hills,#lt is a land of cocoanut palms and paddy flelds, where nature lavishly rewards the tiller of the soil. Among the Nail's, who constitute the backbone of the community in this part of the country, the title to property vests in the women and do- , (wends through then. That is also the case in respect of the thrones of two Maharajas whose States -- Tra- vancore and Cochin --are situated there. The heirs of these rulers, who are Hindus by religion, are not their own 80115, but their sister's or ritece's .ion9. His lifelines') the Maharaja of Travancore has a son grown to man- hood. So has His Highness the Ma- haraja of Cochin. But when they die their sons will not succeed them on the throne. The future Maharaja of Travancore is a boy who was born about twelve years ago to an adopted grand -niece of His Highness. Similarly, in Cochin, the Heir Apparent is descended front the Maharaja's sister's side of the family, As is the case in respect of inherit- ance in the ruling dynasties of these States, so is it in retpeet of rich and poor among the Nalrs. A son born to a young couple not their heir. He will, on the contrary, inherit, in due course, the property belonging to his mother's people. In other words, he is the maternal uncle's heir. His father's estate will, on the other hand, descend tto his sister's son. If ho does not have a sister, he will adopt one, and her son will come into his wealth. To people used to modern institu- tions, this system seems complicated. It sounds, indeed, as if it were no system at all, but as 1f things were upside down in Malabar. In actual practice, however, the system works so well, and the ideas upon which It is based have become so ingratn.ed in the people, that at- tempts made recently to substitute the patriarchal, that is to say, the system in vogue in the world at large, in place of the matriarchal institution have not made much headway. A law was passed some time ago permitting a man to bequeath the property acquired by hire, as distinct from that inherited by him, to his own children. The matriarchal instinct is, however, so strong that so far comparatively little advantage has been taken of this legislation, and matriarchy con- tinues to prevail. Malabar is, therefore, a land of vivid contrasts. Side by side with matriarchy flourish the arts and crafts of Europe and America, and the ideas evolved by Western civiliz- ation. A Work of Art. A schoolmaster In an Old Country village set his pupils the task of writ- ing an essay on cows. One' of the bright and brilliant lights of the school, after much toil and prepara- tion, produced the following: "Cowes have an annual regatta, yet the cow is not a nautical animal. "The cow 'is a good mother, and will look calfter her calf most lov- ingly. By the cow is the milk made. I know this to be true, for I have seen the milk -maid by the cow. "Also there is an ofd song about the cow entitled, 'For Heifer and Heifer.' "When a cow gods lame a pair of crutches can be obtained from the veterinary surgeon; but they are call- ed by a special name, which is aceoustics. "Cows are very fond of resting; they will lie in fields but not on cowches, they don't go sofa as that. "As a whole cows appear to do very well, for even when they are dead they generally make both ends moat; but it has been found that at times many calves die young, Why this should bo so I can't say, but perhaps the butcher aright reveal the secret."

And apart from the good- ness of their natural ripening there is the romance of the couutry of their growth as It presents itself to those ot another land and climate. In Florida, especially the Key., as all the low Islands in South Florida are known, the pineapple is found in perfection. There they are grown by the hundreds of acres, and to a higher degree of perfection than in the tropics. The Iteys, Julia W. Wolfe tells us, in American Cookery, are of themselves, one of the won- ders of nature, formed by coral in- sects, and aro even more rooky than the mainland; like a great honey- comb, with a thin covering of rich 14011, and the densest vegetation, only equalled in the tropics. All along the front of these Keys, facing the ocean, is a high beach ridge, back of this the land rapidly slopes, until it is only a few feet above fide -watch. Ou the ridge the planter builds his home, surrounded by luxuriant cocoa plant., and in front of his house is the wharf, with his schooner anchored some dis- tance from shore, Frequently the road leading from the house to the wharf is lined by rows of cocoanut palms, forming an avenue cf rare beauty. The pineapple growers aro nearly' all from the Iiaharna Islands, or at least their ancestors were, and are known, in this part or Florida, by the name of "Conchs," presumably for their liking for a stew made from, that mollusk; however that may be, 1 they aro a very respectable people and almost the only inhabitants ot the Keys. Most of you have seen the fruit. of the pineapple, and know that the bunch of leaves at the top, called thei Drown, will grow, 1f planted. The base of the fruit is surrounded by sets like a crown, but not so large, and. when the fruit is cut these are left on the stalks to grow until the plant- er is ready to set them, generally in August or September. These are the main supply for new plantations, though suckers also are used, which spring from the roots of the old plant. The pineapple, like the banana, dies aftol producing fruit, generally two to four from each plant, which are all taken off but ono. The soil is so rocky that ploughing or cultivation with the hoe is never attempted, and no attempt is made to set the plants in regular rows, but wherever the planter finds a "pocket," or little hole in the rock, there he plants a set, en- deavoring to have them from two to three feet apart each way. The onlyi care they get after'setting is to keep them free from weeds. The plants' grow very rapidly during the warm, moist summers, and in walking through a patch of them you might say you were in a jungle. A row of. spines on each edge of every leaf keeps you from penetrating very far into this jungle. This makes work- ing among them' very disagreeable, and the men generally wear overalls, made of the heaviest duck, with sleeves and gloves of the sante material. The pineapple plant, when grown, from. sets, generally commences to bear in about eighteen months after planting. The blooming season on the Keys is generally during January and February, when the fields present a beautiful picture. As the time ap- proaches for the flower stalk to ap- pear, the centre leaves of the plant assume almost every color of the rainbow, the most gorgeous shades of scarlet, red, yellow and purple, and soon, in the centro leaves, a little bud appears, like a little rosette of the most glowing scarlet imaginable; this soon assumes the shape of a small pineapple, with its crown of leaves, and then the flowers appear, one at each protuberance or eye, and of al bright color. The fruit now rapidly develops in size, and is ready to ship during April or May. The fruit is not allowed to ripen on the plant, but is cut as soon as it is full grown. The mosquitoes are such a terri111e pest in this part of the country that it is impossible for planters to keep horses, so most of the pineapples are carried to the schooners in great bas- kets, borne on the heads of the work- men. They aro packed closely in the hull of the vessel, in such a manner as to prevent bruising, and are then shipped to the northern cities. Tho pineapple, allowed to ripen . where it grew, is quite a different product from that sold in northern markets. No wonder it is called the King of Fruits! Such fruit is superb, Indeed, and on a calm day one does, not have to see an apple to know that' a ripe one is in the vicinity, as you' will perceive the Most delicious Crag-' ranee long before you reach the' plants, and when you plunk the great, mellow, yellow fruits and carve it, and the juicy flesh melts in your' mouth, you will agree that no words can describe the lusciousness of a per- fect pineapple. There are many varieties of pine -1 apple, differing muoh in size, color, quality and shape. The one known 1 as the Red Spanish is the pineapple grown for market, and is more acid than the others. One of the finest is the Porto Rico, a very distinct sort, and the largest of all, sometimes weighing sixteen pounds when full grown. "Uncle."
