Loryea, Prop PICTURESQUE JAPANESE. Some of Their Queer Customs and Traditions Are Amusing. According to American standards. writes Edward Walter Dawson in Housekeeping, Japanese women can never be considered beautiful, but they are unfailingly picturesque. For in stance, a matron of this Land of the Rising Sun, whose hospitality I often enjoyed, wore a robe of cream colored silk, a kimono of darker shade, fasten ed with an exquisitely embroidered gir dle. These girdles are one of the dis tinctive features in the dress of the Japanese women. Several yards of material go to the making of them, and there is much significance attached even to the way In which they are tied. Men also wear girdles, or obis, but for them they are much narrower and smaller and serve only the purpose of holding the robe in place. The writer goes on to- tell of a marriage ceremony which he was allowed to :ttend. "A wedding is a wedding the world over." Drinking from the same cup, bride and bridegroom pledged each other to share life's joys and sorrows. "The bride groom had entered first. The bride soon joined him. A low table was placed be fore them, on which were cups, bottles and a double spouted vessel, full of sake, a kind of rice beer. On a stand near by were figures of a tortoise, em blem of long life; a fir tree, emblem of strength, and a blooming plum tree, for beauty and prolificness. As soon as the guests were seated a stand was placed before each, and a typical Japa nese feast was served. During this the bride waited upon her future mother and father-in-law, and at the close she and the bridegroom drank alternately from the double spouted vessel until it was emptied. "One of the side dishes was boiled chrysanthemum petals, garnished with vinegar sauce; another was mush rooms and cucumbers dipped in honey. Cucumbers are a favorite food in Japan, and, fresh or pickled, they are found on the table the year round. In many ways the Japanese go about things in exactly the opposite way to what we do. For instance, in the building of a house the upper stories and roof are completed on stout scaf folding, and then the first story and foundation are filled in from below. Japanese carpenters draw the plane and saw toward them, instead of push ing from them, as our workmen do. Above the main door of each home is the name of the householder, with the number and sex of the family. The giving of a name in Japan is a cere mony of much importance and does not take place until the child is three or four years old. There is a tradition that babies in the land never cry. Per haps this is an exaggeration, but in my stay there of many moons I never heard a child's voice raised in distress. These little people themselves have a tradition about their toys that if a doll Is properly and affectionately cared for sooner or later it will become alive. Full of legend and quaint superstition Is~ this picturesque home of a pic turesque people. On a small rustic bridge which spans one of its sacred rivers, hardly more than a creek, may be seen many women kneeling at dif ferent times in the day. They watch intently the mysterious current and from time to time throw bits of paper into Its tide. On each of these Is a prayer .and somewhere out in the un known the gods are supposed to gathel these wafted petitions/and, If the hu mor urges, grant them." Made by Thunderbolts. In the museums of nearly all the large colleges you will see what appear to be sandy petrifactions much resem bling branches of trees. You may con lude that these are the remains of forest monsters that grew in a far away geological age, but If you will take the trouble to ask your guide, or, better still, one of the professors, who are always handy, he will tell you a queer story-one, in fact, that "smacks of the marvelous." These tame look Iing, supposed to be sandy petrifactions are,. in fact, real "thunderbolts." Sci entifically speaking they are "fulgu rites." They are composed of a poor quality of glass and are made by the lightning striking sandy deserts and plunging downward and latterly vitri fying all the sand with which It comes In direct contact. On the Sahara ful gurites are found in every conceivable shape and size, some thirty or more feet in length and four inches In diam eter, others not larger than a lead pencil and still others not larger than a knitting needle. Scientists usually consider fulgurites as being a good Index to the size and force of discharge of the lightning stroke which formed them. Climatie Parador. It is not generally known that at cer tain seasons of the year it Is warmer in Greenland than in southern Europe. And this occurs during the long sunless winter of the polar regions. The cause which leads to it Is not unknown in *other countries. Thus in Switzerland a warm dry wind, called the foehm wind, at times blows down from the snow covered mountains in autumn and winter and suddenly melts and carries off the snow, drying up the at mosphere. In the northwestern United States there is a similar wind called the chi nook wind. So in Greenland at irregu lar intervals a warm wind blows down from the snow covered interior, bring ing an extensive $1aw in January and February. As a result we have the ex traordinary fact that during eight con secutive days in November and Decemn ber in one year it was warmer in Ja cokshaven, in latitude 639 degrees 20 minutes, than in northern Italy. Uper navik, another town of Greenland, was, during part of the time, warmer than the south of France. The Exact Thing Required for Constipation?

An Interesting People Who Are Fond of Jewelry and Finery. The presence of any foreigner, Dutch or otherwise, trading or living the life of the people. would not be tolerated for a day in most of the Dutch fishing villages. No person from the mainland has for years taken up his abode on the Island of Marken. They intermarry with each other; the priest forbids their marrying within the third degree, and they implicitly obey him. They never marry out of their own village, and this accounts for the extraordinary similarity in their faces. They might all have been cast in the same mold. To those who approach them in a friendly manner the men are as inter esting and attractive as the women. Both sexes are singularly good looking, with regular features and blue eyes. I The women have beautiful complex ions; the men are bronzed by the sun or the sea. At first the latter appear somewhat surly and defiant, but that is generally due to shyness, and they soon become kindly and courteous. They are nearly all teetotalers, their! drink being weak tea or coffee, which they take several times a day and on which they seem to thrive, for they are a splendid race. They are very moral and religious. At 6 o'clock every even ing, in the Roman Catholic villages, the angelus rings, and then both the men and women rise from their sitting postures by the doors, the men doff their caps and the women lay down their knitting, all bend their heads, cross themselves and remain a few minutes in prayer. Religion is no mere name to these simple fishing folk. Both men and women are very fond of jewelry, and most of the cottages contain a good many gold and silver ornaments, necklaces of coral beads with large gold clasps of curious de-, signs and solid gold head bands, called helmets, with rosettes of gold filigree on each side. In Friesland there are a number of goldsmiths' shops. When in holiday dress the men almost outshine the women in their love of self adorn ment. Their shirts .are fastened with gold button links anA are embroidered with black lines; they wear velvet knee breeches and silver buckles to their shoes, which are often richly chased. In most of the fishing villages the men. when in full dress, wear four great sil ver buttons. These are often decorated with Scriptural subjects in repousse. They are enormously proud of their buttons, which are heirlooms from fa ther to son. Most of the Dutch fisher folk are very well to -do. They are thrifty and economical, and their wants are few. They have no desire for lux uries. They rarely touch.meat, are to tal.absta-iners, and this is probably the reason for the high standard of moral ity which obtains among them.-Pil grim. Hard on the English. In the time of James II. of Scotland the relations between the Scotch and English were bad indeed. The king ob ected to any business dealings between the Scotch and their southern neigh bors. To his subjects he thought noth ing could result therefrom but evil. To preserve them, therefore, from any ap proach to amity and intercourse with the hated southron he actually decreed outlawry against those who should desire, even in that time of peace, to smooth down the differences which di vided the two peoples. Against Eng lishmen visiting Scotland without leave thelaw was'~especially severe. Nor, was any Scotsman to be allowed to become security or guaranty for an English man under any circumstances what ever unless he wished to be accused of high treason. Even legitimate trade was forbidden. No Scotsman was to supply the English garrisons in Ber wick or Roxburgh with "ony victual, fewal or uther supportation" under $he pain of treason, while no intermarriage was to be allowed between "the Seottis and English, that men's affections be na' led away fra their amn kinrik." Apples, and Drunkenness. With the view of learning, the opin Ions of other, medical men concerning the efficacy. of the habit of eating ap ples to destroy the taste for liquor a New York city physician corresponded with many medical men living in vari ous states. He received replies from all but three. From a large majority came answers that they bad never known a case where a person was accustomed to the free use of apples and was a drunk ard, nor did they ever know of a drunkard who was accustomed to the daily use of apples. From a personal observation, cov'er ing a period of more than twenty-five years, the physician says he never has known a single instance where a per son who was a free user of apples ac quired the liquor habit, nor has he known a person addicted to the free use of liquor who was fond of apples. color and Warmth. The color of materials has some influ ence on the warmth of the clothing. Black and blue absorb heat freely from without, but white and light shades of yellow,. etc., are far less absorbent This difference can be demonstrated by experiment. The same material, when dyed with different colors, will absorb different amounts of heat. In hot countries white coverings are univer sally worn, and sailors and others wear white clotting in hot weather. With regard, however, to heat given off from the body, the color of the materials used as clothing makes little if any difference. Red flannel Is popu larly supposed to be warm, though it is no better in this respect than similar materials of equal substance, but white or gray in color. Dark ciothing is best for cold weather, because it more freely .absorbs any heat that Is obtainable. Fortnightly Review. Buy the Best F LOU R. FOR SALE BY S. A. RIOBY.
