Backward Methods in Japan.
The people of Japan, it seems, like
to do things backward. In mysterious j
Japan, Mr. Julian Street gives an interesting
summary of some of the
things that the people do exactly contrary
to American custom.
To us the Japanese method of beck- |
oning would signify to go away.
Boats arc beached sternforcmost;
horses are backed into their stalls;
sawing and planing arc done with a
pulling motion; keys are turned in
their locks in a reverse direction from
that which is customary with us. In
the game of go, which is played on
a kind of checkerboard, the pieces
ire placed not within the squares but
over the points at which the lines intersect.
During the day Japanese
houses with their sliding walls of wood
and paper arc wide open, but at night
they arc inclosed with solid board
snuiicrs, and people sleep virtually j
without ventilation. At the door of a
theatre or a restaurant the Japanese
check their shoes instead of their hats;
their sweets, if they come at all, arc
served early in the meal instead of
toward the end; acting in the theatre
is modeled not on life but on the movments
of dolls in marionette shows,
and in the classic "no" drama the
possibility of showing emotion by facial
expression is eliminated by the use
of carved wooden masks. And where
the people have not been "civilized"
out of their natural courtesy one
chauffeur dislikes to overtake and pass
another!
The list of things that the Japanese .
do backward might be continued indefinitely,
but is conveniently ended
with the singular way in which they
reckon the age of their children. In
America a child that is born on the j ^
31st of December is one day old the ;
next morning. In Japan it would be j
two years old! For there they reckon ! t
that the child is one year old on the ' ~
day it is born, and two years old on I
the following New Year's Day. .

How to Doctor Furniture. .
I
Wash the wooden parts of the furni- I ^
ture with lukewarm water to which (
has been added one tablespoon of i
kerosene to the pint. One part should t
be washed at a time and rubbed at ]
once with a dry cloth. If the furni-1
ture has scratches they may be nb-1
scured bv applying a small amount
of water-color which matches the col- ;
or of the furniture. If the scratch ,
is slight a good furniture polish will
contain enough dye or stain to cover
the scratch.

Mike, la c of Ireland and his friend
\it were playing cards. "Oi'll bet \cz
!a quarter," said Mike, "that I can cut
the ace of diamonds the first try."
"Oi'll go ye." said Pat.
Mike shuffled the cards, laid them i
Sown and went into the adjoining
room. Returning with an axe he cut ;
the deck calmly in two with one blow.
"Oi'll thank ye for the quarter, <
Pat," he said triumphantly.
"No yez won't," returned Pat, lisli-'
ing the ace of diamonds out of his , ]
oockct. "Oi slipped it front the deck j

IKS. BROWN'S ANNOUNCEMENT.
The press has been very kind, and has
tad me running for the Senate or
he house ever since early spring, k
lave greatly appreciated the interest,
>ut I have not wanted to dash in, I
lave waited to be sure that I was need-1
:d and wanted.
Of course, I would love to see a
voman in the Senate, and I would
ovc to be that woman! It was indeed I
i proud moment when recently f
icard Senator Capper say that he wa9
Irmly convinced that the Senate would
se helped by a woman's participation.
I may not be quoting exactly, but that
was the idea.
It is true I have thought a great
deal about the responsibility of seek- j
ing the nomination for the Senate, and |
good friends all over the State urgethat
I delay the decision no longer i
It is really funny to hear the excited
politicians saying: "What are the
women going to do?"
If a business man is selecting a man
to run his business, how docs he
judge of his capabilities? If a farmer
is going to rent his farm to a tenant,
how does he judge of how the tenant
will treat his land? The newcomers
in any field are judged by their past j
reputations and deeds.
What will women do in politics?.
What will they do with the vote? The'
great majority. mind vou I sav the I
GREAT majority, will continue as
they have been throughout the centuries,
the mothers of the land, and
they will continue in it!
The great majority will slowly hut
surely widen that home interest to community
interest. The beautiful spirit
of mother love will be broadcasted.
Mother love in politics! It sounds
odd, doesn't it? But I am just oldfashioned
enough to believe that the
spirit of mother love will never hurt
a community, a State or a Nation.
Who are really opposing women the
most in politics? The professional
politicians! Thc professional politicians
who look on the handling of;
our government as a great game, and
who busily resent any appearance of
interference.
I am neither a radical for labor nor
for capital. Each has its place, but
I am just a mother who is willing to j
do her best to make the world a better |
place for the coming generations, and j
who vigorously resents the idea that if
iust can't be done!
West Virginia is a glorious State,
much misrepresented, and is just at
the beginning of her history. She is
so well worth fighting for that I any
proud to dedicate my services to her,
;o I say, yes, I will seek a place in
he Senate, since friends think I can
serve her best there.
My earnest plea to the voters of
ny beloved State will be: Don't vote
for me?just because 1 am a woman!
Don't vote against me?just because
am not a man! Vote for me because >
,'ou believe I stand firmly for progressive
legislation, protection of State
ights and resources, for all things
that go to make a better State and
Nation and for world peace.

The Muscles.
The number of muscles in the hu-!
nan body has been estimated at 464.
The actions of all these muscles
ire fully understood and described.
But there are probably many other
muscles which have not yet been tabalated.
Such a slight action as puckering
up the mouth brings into play 11 mus:lcs.
As many a: 44 muscles work to
gcther to produce i sound of the human
voice.
When we smile it requires the action
of 21 pairs of muscles.
And it is harder to frown than t<
smile, for a fr wn requires the action
of 64 muscles.
The little muscles which close the
jaw are acted im n b the cold in
such a v n that they pull the jaw up
and let it fall b" its own weight.
This operation, repeated many times
causes the tee'h t" click together and
produces what wc are accustomed t
call the "chattering" of our teeth
"Where were you yesterday. Tontmv
Cribbs." asked the teacher.
"Please mum. I had a toothache," answered
Tommy.
"Has it stopped V" asked tiie teacher,
sympathetically.
"I don't know," said Tommy.
"What do you mean, boy? You don't
know if your tooth has stoppcJ ach

"No, mum, the dentist kept it."
The Chinese prefer a paper of much
softer quality for their correspondence
than that made for the use of Americans.
This is because the Chinese
write entirely with brushes and ink.
Wrapping paper of a soft, thin variety,
light cream in color, is usually
found in the better stationery shops,
while the native shops sell a cheap
brown paper.

FISH SENSITIVE TO CHANGE
Sudden Variation of Temperature Will
Drive Them to Distant Waters
or Destroy Them.
Fish are very quirk to feel a change
of temperature in their native element,
and sudden cooling or heating
of the water Is very Injurious to
them.
A hot summer has often been known
to drive herrings to find cooler waters
at a distance. Some years ago, a
fearful storm raged along the eastern
count of North America. After It had
subsided, the seu was strewn with
millions of tlte, a fish like a cod.
but attaining a weight of 50 pounds
or more. A vessel was sent to dls
cover the cause of the strange phfr
nomenon. It plowed strntght ahead
for 150 miles, and estimated that an
area of 5,0<)0 square miles was covered
with fiend fishes. It was discovered
that the storm had brought
Icebergs In its train, and the consequent
great cold had proved too
much for the fish, accustomed as they
were to warmer waters. The cod has
an objection to sudden chunges of
climate, and If put In colder water

WAS GIFT OF MAXIMILIAN
Romantic Story of Carlotta's Bracelet,
Now Property of a Popular
Spanish Dancer.
One of the most romantic survivals
of the Mexican revolution Is the story
of the hrncelet of Carlotta.
Curlotta, daughter of the king of
the Belgians, was the devoted wife of
Maximilian, whom ' ouls Napoleon
placed on the throne of Mexico, and
who, after establishing himself In imperial
grandeur, was defeated by the
republican troops under Juarez, and
with two of his generals Mlratnon and
Mejla, was executed by a firing squad
on the hill of I.as Campanns In 1807.
The bracelet was an exquisite affair
of gold given by the emperor to Carlotta
at the time of their marrlnge. 1
When Carlotta left Mexico the bracelet
was given by her to one of her
Indles-ln-walting. But In the flight
from Mexico It was lost. It did not
appear again, as far ns known, until
1014, when It was seen by un American
adorning the wrist of a woman
companion of one of Rmlllnnn 7.nnn. I
in a silver urn, was "good Queen

Queen Mary, ami the latter's consort.
King William III, of Charles II ami of
Queen Kll/.aheth. are also eared for

is still in the eusiody and care of the '
canon and chapter of the cathedral of

ta's generals. This general sliortly 1
afterward killed the woman In a fit '
of Jealousy and the bracelet was taken
from him Inter by the American. The
bracelet now adorns the wrist of a
very beautiful Spanish dancer. It is
said to have been presented to her by
a diplomat, "In appreciation of her
art."
Gobelin Tapestries.
The most famous products In the j
history of weaving are the so-called j
Gobelin tapestries, fashioned in the I
factory on the site where many years
ago .lean and I'blllbert Gobelin, mor- I
chant dyers of scarlet, had their works.
The name of Gobelin has always been
identified with the product of these !
ancient looms, which, for over 2f>0 :
years have turned out tapestries solely
for the state. In times of peace these
never leave France except as gifts to
visiting kitias and chief magistrates.
Formerly !M10 artisans and apprentices
were employed In the Gobelin
works, weaving textiles after designs
by I,e llrun, Iloucher and many cole- ,
brated artists. Today the workmen
number 0" and. as an expert weaver
can produce only five square feet n
year, if is understandable why the
tapestries bring such exceedingly high
prices. It Is estimated that the
minimum value of a square foot of
Gohelin tapestry is .s^oO.

STATE CARES FOR GAME ANIMALS
Progress is rapidly being made towards
the goal of a wild life refuge in
every county in West Virginia, accord
ing to A. B. Brooks, Slate game protector,
who is working with the newlyorganized
Wild Life League cf West
Virginia towards this end. These wild
life refuges are in addition to the three
national forests which have already
been established in this State. Protection
for the native wild game, whether
it is deer or grey squirrels, wild turkey
or quail, is the function of the wild
life refuges, while the national forestry
preserves in this State do not do
so.
The national forests in themselves
are important, although few West Virginians
perhaps know of their existence.
The largest and most important
forest preserve is the Monongahe!a
national forest of 167,000 acres,
which is located in Randolph, Tucker
and Pocahontas counties on the waters
of the Cheat and the Greenbrier
rivers, extending over into Virginia.
The other two national forests are
known as the Shenandoah and Potomac
preserves and are located on
the eastern boundary otf the State.
State Game Protector Brooks announced
that a wild life refuge had
been established at larksnn'e Mill
Lewis county, to preserve the squirrels,
quail and pheasants which are
numerous in the vicinity of Camp
Stonewall Jackson, the State camp for
farm boys and girls. This includes
the seventy-five acre farm of B. S.
Jackson and the 600 acres owned by
W. A. Arnold, in addition to the 35
acres now owned by the State. Additions
to this tract are expected t^
be made until at least 1,000 acres are
included.
A 400-acrc refuge has already been
established in Monogalia county
which is primarily intended to protect
birds in that section. This tract
will shortly be stocked with ringnecked
pheasants, also, as will the
Jackson's Mill refuge and others to
be established later.
On the headwaters of Buchannon
and Elk rivers a 5,000-acre preserve
for big game will probably be established
in addition to a 10,000 acre
refuge on Paint creek and Otter creek,
according to Mr. Brooks, who has beea
active in these districts.
Recently H. l.. Johnson, the federal
forest ranger in control of the Monongahclia
national forest, and Game Protector
Brooks spent two days in selecting
a site for a game refuge to be located
on territory between Otter creek
and Glady Fork of Cheat river. This
refuge will probably have upwards ol
11,000 acres in it.

mcnt that nevertheless is not especially
dangerous. It is true that the disease
is not often directly fatal, but
since it not infrequently leads to tuberculous
infection and is frequently,
complicated with broncho-pneumonia,
we may well regard it as a serious
menace to child health and life.
The disease* is extremely contagious
when a susceptible person comes into
contact with a person who is suffering
with it, but fortunately many seem to
be temporarily or permanently immune.
Though whooping cough is supposed
to be a disease of childhood, it sometimes
attacks adults; but with them
the cough is likely to be without the
peculiar whoop. If an adult who has
been exposed appears to suffer from
bronchitis accompanied with a paroxysmal
cough that persists for a linn
time, the trouble is probably whooping
cough, and the sufferer should avoid
all families where there are children
A spasmodic closing of the larynx
