PAGE BIGHT CIVIC ORDINANCE IN JAPAN SHRINES BEYOND ALL PRIC All Houses Hav* Tablet Telling Name ef the Reeponnble Dweller Within the Walla United States Has Many That Ar« expreeeibly Dear to the Hearts of the People. In Japan you can learu a good many things about the resident of a house merely by looking at Ids door. Ac cording to police regulations, says a writer In Chambers' Journal the en trance to every residence must have a small wooden tablet arttxed to It. This tablet baa the name and the number of the house on it. and on another tablet la the name of the responsible house holder, who in many cases Is an in fant, a youuger brwner of a relative. Sometimes, though rarely, the names of other Inmates are placed over the door, but there is no police regulation that requires It, except In the ease of boarding houses, which have to place their boarders’ names outside for all to see. A persou fortunate enough to possess a telephone always has the number proudly displayed over his en trance. Neat it you will often see a quaint enameled or tin disk. That is the fire insurance mark. Every tire insurance company has its own s|>eclal metal plate, which it nails to the lintel when it Insures a house. There are always several small pieces of paper pasted over the door, placed there by the police. One is to certify that the periodical oshoJL or great cleaning, has taken place. An other paper tells us, perha’ps, that the sanitary conditions are satisfactory. What others stand for is known only to the police themselves; that they give secret Information about the In mates Is certain. Formerly It was the ru'e that, if there was a well upon the premises, the fact had to be proclaimed by a square board marked with the charac ter for well—ido. This was to show where people could obtain water in case of fire in the neighborhood. The regulation may still be in force in country places, but owing to water now being piped, it is no longer enforced tn the cities. HELPED PAY AMERICA'S DEBT How Mrs. Monro« Wat Instrumental In Saving the Life of Madame Lafayette. An Inte restine sidelight on history lleS tn the story of how the wife of James Monroe, fifth President, saved the life of Msdame Lafayette at the time Monroe ws^ American ambassa dor to France. Lafayette himself was tn prison in Germany, and kept In a foul dungeon. Mme. Lafayette had been seized by the Revolutionists, and was confined tn 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 unites rd of. but the dawning power of the United States wag 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 thing to do, for the results might have been disastrous and all sorts of In ternational complications might have arisen.
