GIRLS ON THE LADDERS.
———
Their Rapid Work In Coaling Ships at |
Nagasaki, in Japan,
Coaling at Nagasaki, Japan. is done
entirely by girls, Big coul barges bear |
down upon the ship as it approaches |
the shore, and as soon as it comes to
anchor a rough ladder is placed be- |
tween the liner and the foremost
barge.
On each rung of it a girl takes her |

inz half a bushel each to the sound of
a monotonous chant, and these bas-
kets then pass from hand to hand up
the living ladder with marvelous celer-
ity.
Each girl seizes one and swings it
straight up in front of her. above her !
head, when it is caught by the next |
girl. Down n second ladder, likewise
packed with girls, the empty baskets |
pass in similar manner back into the
barge to be refilled.

hour after hour with its never ending
stream of baskets until the last bun-
ker is full, when the ladders disappear
as if by magic and the ship is ready
to proceed on her voyage.
A Pacific Mail stenmer will “bunker”
2.300 tons of coal in six and a half |
hours. an average of 333% tous per
hour, or nearly six tons per minute, an
almost incredible record.—Wide World
Magazine.
FORESTS AND HYGIENE.
The Value of Trees From the Stand- |
point of Human Health.
We hear much of the importance of |
the conservation of forests from an
economic standpoint, but little is ‘sald |
as to the hygienic value of forests.
Forests contribute to the general
health by breaking the force of steadi- |
ly blowing winds, They mitigate the |
heat of summer by the vast amount of |
evaporation from their leaves that oc- |
curs by day. They also promote rain-
falls. Thus they check the tendency |
of the earth to desiccate, which is al- |
most as injurious to health as it is to |
vegetation.
Cholera often passes a wooded dis-
trict and revels in a treeless one. A
certain road in India leads for sixty
miles through a dense forest. Farther’
on it runs for ninety miles through 2
barren plain. Hundreds of persons
travel the entire road daily. Now, in
the first or wooded section cases of
cholera seldom occur, while within the
latter it has been of frequent occur-
rence. One year cholera raged in
Allahabad. Soldiers whose barracks
were on a hill suffered the most from
the epidemic; those in barracks sur-
rounded by four rows of trees much
less. But not a single case occurred
among the soldiers whose barracks
were in a thicket. It was the same
the next year.—Harper's Weekly.
Henry Clay's Brother.
In the old cemetery at Camden, Ark.,
the body of Porter Clay. brother of
Henry Clay. has reposed since his
death in 1850. He was admitted to
the bar in Kentucky, became state
auditor, but began to preach in the
Baptist churches and in time conse:
crated himself to that work. Finally
he removed with his family to Illi
pois, where a dispute with hix church
authorities compelled him to resizu a
pastorate. Soon afterward he became!
a wandering evangelist. going to Cam-
den in that capacity and founding »
church. He died there in 1850, two
years before his illustrious brother.
During all the years that have passed
the women of this little church have
cared for his grave. At first they
marked it with a headboard. but the
New Century club of Camden erected
a stone slab over the grave.— Argonaut.
Disinclined to Matrimony.
Among the non-Burmese tribes that hd
live in Burma women are not thought
much of. The Banyak or Banyaugs.
for instance, will not marry unless
they are ordered to do so, and the pro-
spective bridegroom often has to be
dragged to the bride's house. It Is
left, however, to the Was to reach the
depths of ungallantry,
change. A prepossessing bride is esti- |
mated at a few buffaloes. One who
is tll favored may be bad in exchange
for a pair of fowls or even a dog.
The Problem Was Clearly Untenabie.
Dorothy, a little first grader in the
city schools, has a small brother who
is considered an angel child by no one |
but mamma, so when teacher gave!
Dorothy this problem. “If your mother
should give you 5 cents for keeping
Jack while she goes to market on
Saturday how much would you earn
in six weeks?" she readily replied
“Why, Miss Hudson, I wouldn't keep
that naughty boy if mamma gave me
a quarter!”—Kansas City Star.
A New Experience.
“Dropped a little at roulette while |

“Can't beat that game,” said the con!

see how it feels to lose money."-—

" Satisfied the Skipper That He Was
Right In His Guess,
When the Adeline's master came on
‘ deck in the morning his passenger
stared at him hewilderedly.
| “Why, what's the matter?” he asked.

mate, who stood near. but the person

“What has happened?” persisted the
inquisitive passenger. “Where are

Open Spaces In Cities,
Along with the new Kkeenness over
| social and economic reform England
has developed a number of other vir-
| tues in the past score of years. One
| is an appreciation of the value of open
| spaces in cities, and one is the increas-
| ed determination to preserve anclent
| lJandmnarks. Every few months an ar-
| ticle appears in the Times or some
| other influentin! newspaper acquaint-
ing people with the danger that threat-
| ens some historical or lonz cherished
| spot, and usually the money necessary
| to save the property has been forth-
coming. — Indianapolis News,
