BIRTHDAYS OF JAPANESE.
All the Little Girls Celebrate in Feb
ruary mmd the Boys
in Kay.
The Japanese have a queer way of
celebrating- birthdays. Instead of a
party in June for little Tama, and a
party in September for little O'Tatsu,
aai a party in December for little Unae,
there's a party in February in honor of
all the little girls, and one in May for
all little boys, writes Bertha Runkle, in
"Child Life in China and Japan," in St
Nicholas. In February every little girl
receives from all her grown-up rela
tives and friends gifts of dolls, and be
side these dolls her mother takes out
of the closet many of the dolls she had
when she was a child, and some even
oider dolls that the little girl's grand
aother had when she was a little tot;
and I dare say there are dolls that be
longed to the little girl's great-grand-znother,
and even her great-great-grandmother,
quaint dolls in faded clothes
of a hundred years and more ago. care
fully handed down from mother to
daughter ever since. I saw one old doll,
about six inches tall, dressed as a
daimio, or great lord of bygone times,
in gorgeous brocade robes, covered with
steel armor of little overlapping plates.
Just as beautifully made as if for a real
warrior. He wore a tiny helmet, and
carried two tiny swords not as large as
matches. You could draw the swords
out of their scabbards just like real
ones, and they were as sharp as they
could be. Well, for about a week all
Japan is one grand dolls' tea party!
And then the festival is over, and all
the best dolls, even the presents to the
little girl, are put carefully away, never
to be even looked at for a whole year.
I don't see how the little Japanese girls
can bear that part of it.
Then at the first of May comes the
hoys festival the Fish Festival, it i:
called. Every family that's lucky
enough to have a boy puts up a flagpole
in the door yard; or perhaps several
families combine to use the same pole,
and have out a bigger, handsomer one
than one family could afford. On the
top of the pole is a gilt ball, or else a
basket with something bright and tin
sel y in it. And flying from the pole.
im the brisk spring winds, is a whole
string of carp, made of oiled paper or
cloth, painted in bright colors, ana any
where from five to 15 feet long. Each
flsfa belongs to some particular boy, and
the carp is chosen because it is a big,
atroBg fish, and not only can swim
against the most rapid currents, but in
its eagerness to get up stream will leap
straight up waterfalls. The gold ball
leans a treasure, which the carp, leap
ing and struggling, buffeted by the wind.
Is forever trying to. reach. And the
wherte thing means that the boy. when
he's a man. will have to battle his way
as the sturdy carp struggles up the
iver. The fishes look so very pretty
ad gay. flying over his house, and the
hoy gets so many treats at Fish Festi
val time, that I don't think he minds
tsh if the carp fofk nice little jolly lec
ture on ambition. '
TORTURE FOR BEAUTY.
low Woman Inflicted Agony on Her
self to Improve Her
Looks.
You must suffer to be so beautiful,
according to a French saying. There
seems to be some truth in the state
ment, if a lady's maid is to be be
lieved, says the Paris correspondent
f the London Telegraph. She has
revealed the secrets of her mistress's
boudoir, or, rather, torture chamber.
The woman herself is now beautiful,
hut one wonders that she is still alive.
For months she lay fiat on the floor,
motionless, with her arms close to her
ides, during several hours every day.
This was. It appears, to improve her
Sgure. During the rest of the day, for
the same period of time, she sat on a
high stool giving and rocking the up
per part of her body backward and
4orward and from side to side unceas
ingly. By this process she is said to have
acquired a statuesque throat and a
yiph's waist. The woman's nose, hav
ing a soaring nature, was corrected
and made Grecian by the constant ap
plication day and night for months of
a spring bandage. One nostril was
originally larger than the otber, so she
wore a small sponge in it for a year.
Her cheeks have been filled out and
rounded by injections of paraffine. Her
ears for months were compressed
against the sides of her head by
springs, which heavy weights were at
tached to the lobes to produce the re
quired elongated shape, which has
been successfully achieved.
Having suffered this complicated
martyrdom for a year, the woman, as
already stated, is now beautiful.

BULLET STOPPED BY LUNG.
Case ef National Ouardsman Whs
Was Shot a'Puule to
Surgeons.
The case of Richard James, of Pottav
ville. who was wounded on November
15, 1903, on the rifle range of the nation
al guard, at North America, a suburb of
that town, has gained national impor
tance, if not a world-wide interest, says
the Philadelphia North American.
Though more than one year has elapsed,
the surgeons who have investigated the
case here and those who discussed it at
a meeting of the military surgeons at
St. Louis, held recently, have not been
able to explain the mysterious wound
and it- remains a puzzling question.
While on the range with other mem
bers of company H, Eighth regiment,
national guard of Pennsylvania, James
was mysteriously wounded by a bullet
from a Krag-Jorgensen rifle in the
hands of the captain. J. H. Hoepstein.
The bullet, which is still in his body,
entered the chest. These missiles have
a penetrating power of 44 inches through
ordinary boards, but it failed to pass
throusrh the body of the young soldier.
After he received the wound he walked
from the range to the armory, a dis
tance of nearly two miles, but was sup
ported on either side by comrades. From
the armory he was taken to the Potts
ville hospital. Maj. George H. Halber
stadt. of Pottsvilie. the brigade surgeon,
was summoned. He forbid probing for
the ball at that time. It was subse
quently located by the X-ray and it re
mains in his body and he still lives.
He, however, has been much weakened
in strength.
The wounded soldier, in describing
the sensation of having a ball enter his
body, used this language: '"The ball
had a burning sensation, and 1 could
feel it sizzling as it burned its way
through my flesh."
Why did not the ball pass through the
body of James? is the question that is
interesting the surgeons who have been
inquiring into the case. The question
was discussed at length at the meeting
of the military surgeons at St. Louis.
Maj. George H. Halberstadt. surgeon
of the Third brigade, and Maj. Montel
ius, of Mount Carmel. surgeon of the
Eighth regiment, of which Richard
James is a member, were present and
participated in the discussion. Maj.
Halberstadt presented photographs of
James, showing the bullet as It lay in
the man's chest.
The surgeons unanimously agreed
with htm that had the bullet struck
some resisting object, such as a rib or
other bone, it would have acquired
velocity enough to pass through a half
dozen other persons,, but striking a soft
substance, namely, the air cushions of
the lungs, the speed, velocity and force
of the missile was staid or spent and
further injury or damage was saved.
The steel bullet has peculiarities of
this nature, contends Dr. Halberstadt,
which are puzzling the scientific men of
the day. It will pierce and pass through
hard bodies, but is stopped. and disfig
ured by soft bodies from which little
resistance is met. This characteristic
is in exact contrast to that of the. old
leaden ball propelled by black powder.
A surgeon, who was with the Japan
ese and with the Russian armies in
Manchuria, was present at the St. Louis
conference. He declared that before
going into battle soldiers of these armies
rolled their overcoats in a loose bundle
as a shield to protect their bodies from
the modem ball. The steel bullet, he
said, will not penetrate this armor.
GERMAN RAILWAY TROUBLE
Various Kingdoms of the Empire Own
Lines and Friction
Results.
Some of the disadvantages of gov
ernment ownership of railways are in
dicated by United States Secretary of
Embassy Dodge, writing from Berlin,
who says that the idea of uniting all the
railways in Germany appears to have
gained ground, says the New York
World. Prince Bismarck deired to
have the empire manage all the rail
ways, but was prevented by the south
ern German governments. which
feared to give too great powers to the
empire and to Prussia. 'Consequently,
the railways were purchased by each
German government individually, and
are managed independently.
This has caused great disadvantages,
particularly to smaller governments.
An example is that whole trains of
freight cars often make long return
journeys empty because they belong
to another government, and cannot be
loaded.
Of late years, owing largely to com
mercial depression, the railways of the
small states have not been giving good
financial reports. Those of Prussia,
however, have stood the strain well.
Prussia has for years been trying
to induce rhe other states to agree to
some compromise which would secure
united management while leaving the
ownership to the governments. Only
the small duchy of Hesse has actually
made such an arrangement with Prus
sia. Lately, however, the initiative In
this matter has been taken by some of
the southern German governments
themselves, and the difficulty seems in
a fair way to be solved.

REVIVING THEIR LANGUAGE
Nationalising Werk ef Gaelic League
Includes Return to the
Old Tongue.
In a study of contemporary conditions
in Ireland Seumas MacManusshows that
the Irish are returning to their native
tongue, says the World's Work. The
Gaelic league has not only arrested the
decay of the language, but it has made
startling progress in restoring it. It
has fought and overcome the hostile na
tional board of education, with the re
sult that 3.000 of the national schools
are teaching the language to-day to 95.
000 pupils, as against a few schools that
taught it to 313 pupils 13 years ago. In
addition to this. Gaelic is taught to about
100,000 others in the remaining primary
schools, night schools, intermediate
schools and colleges. The big commer
cial concerns are finding it to their ad
vantage to keep Irish-speaking em
ployes, who can attend customers that
insist on giving their orders, whether
spoken or written, in Gaelic. The rail
ways, the banks and the post office, after
struggling sorely against the crusade,
very soon required a knowledge of the
language both spoken and literary
from all candidates for clerkships.
It is a pity for Ireland that, more of
her girls do not return. Emigration is
the greatest evil that Ireland labors un
der to-day. The country is being de
pleted by this drain, which, for 150
years, has not once ceased flowing and
which has been running with fearful
rapidity during the last b'O years. The
government returns show that in the
last 53 years 4.000.000 Irish people emi
grated. During the '40. for which we
have no record, and especially during the
famine years, the outflow in coffin ships
of famine-driven, fever-stricken fugi
tives tens of thousands of whose whit
ening bones on the sea floor still link
Ireland to America by a terrible chain
was tremendous.
The census returns for the decade
1841-51 show that Ireland had a net. loss
in those ten years of 16.000 people, or
one-fifth of its population. In 1841 Ire
land had a population of 8.200.000; in
1901 the population, which at the nat
ural rate of Irish increase, should have
been more than 9.000.000. had fallen to
4.460,000! In 64 years Ireland has sent
out more emigrants than there are peo
ple in the island to-day. Now the birth
rate is decreasing, because the per
centage of unmarried adults has been
increasing and because the average
marrying age has been growing higher.
So the people, who at one time ware pro
verbially prolific, will soon have lost
that character. As the great birth rate,
which tended to moderate the effects of.
emigration, lessens, the emigration evil
year by year assumes a more and more
alarming aspect.
WHY FIREMEN SMA8H GLASS
Critic of the Custom Learns Season
for the Breaking of
Windows.
"That is wanton destruction of prop
erty," said the man on the sidewalk,
as a shower of glass fell from the win
dows of a burning building across the
street, relates the Chicago Record
Herald. "It is apparent you know nothing
about fire fighting." challenged the
man at his elbow. The speaker had
one arm in a sling, and a few feet
of adhesive plaster on his face and
forehead. He wore the uniform of a
fireman, and it needed no explanation
to understand that he was laid up
for repairs. He was determined not
to see his fellows assailed without de
fending them.
"Now, my friend, since you have
volunteered to criticise, I am going to
show you where you are wrong. That
is not wanton destruction of property.
In breaking that glass the men in that
building are merely protecting their
lives. You see the smoke pouring from
the windows? Well, that smoke is as
thin, compared to what is inside, as a
light mist is to a waterfall. The men
working inside are breaking glass in
order to get air. They are lighting
their way to the fire, instead of wait
ing for the fire to come to them. If
they did not break the windows they
woud suffocate.
"Again, that smoke, if confined,
would generate a deadly gas of such
explosive strength that It would de
stroy' the whole block. The firemen
know that, and you do not. Remem
ber, the fireman, when he enters the
service, takes an oath to protect life
and property. In this case he is do
ing both. Do not think because you
see a fireman with a pike pole that
he is going out to punch holes in
plate glass, just to practice marksman
ship." Revenge.
"Why didn't you stop for that man?"
inquired the passenger on the front plat
form. "Because." said the motorman. with a

FUTURE FOOD OF AMERICA.
Our Vast KeaouMsrXake Posaible the
Highest Ferm of Civ-ilteation.
Writing of "The Economic Interpre
tation of History" in the bimonthly an
nals of the American Academy of Polit
ical and Social Science, Prof. Simon N.
Patten, of the University of Pennsyl
vania, says this of an American future
based on food supplies:
"Not only has America a better food
supply than Europe, but the barriers to
commerce have been so far broken down
as to make the food supply of the whole
world available at our great centers.
"A new civilization is now possible
to which those of the past can offer few
analogies. Individual struggle ha?
practically ceased. A sufficiency of
food comes to the unskilled laborer,
and the increase of population even
when augmented by a million immi
grants a year does not increase the pres
sure. We have higher standards to-day
with 80.000.000 people than we had two
generations ago with 40,000,000 people,
and we could support 300.000,000 with as
great ease and with as little individual
struggle.
"The great central plain of North
America is a vast storehouse of food. We
have the wheat that Europe has. but we
have it more abundantly. We have
more extensive grazing regions, and
with corn for fodder have superior fa
cilities for raising cattle. Pork never
took its proper place in the diet of the
world until the great cornfields of the
west came into existence.
"To think of the changes in diet that
the cheapening of sugar has made is to
realize in a measure what an increase
of population will follow the full utiliza
tion of available root crops. We have
combined the resources on which the
civilization of north Europe depends and
those which made the ancient civiliza
tions of the south. The immigrants
from south Europe find here a possible
diet like that of their home countries,
and in its use they evoke qualities in
our soil that. lay dormant as long as the
northern races were fed from it.
"In addition to these home possibili
ties the nearness and accessibility of
the semi-tropical regions of-the West
Indies and Central America made many
new foodstuffs available and in quanti
ties practically unlimited. Measured in
food, these regions can support as great
a population as can the United States,
and cost is less than that of the home
supply. We need only a fruit and a veg
etable loving population to utilise these
new food materials, and it is at hand in
the immigrants from southern and cen
tral Europe.
"This food supply could not be made
available nor could the absorption and
assimilation of southern races take place
without the recent cheapening of the
cost of transportation.
"Coincident with this improvement
in food and transportation have come
social betterments that have length
ened life and made people more healthy.
Great scourges like the medieval
plagues are no longer possible, and fevers
are so well under control that they have;
ceased to be grievous afflictions.
"To attain all these advantages a
rapid increase of capital is necessary,
and fortunately the growth of the sav
ing instinct has kept pace with other
improvements. A alight change in the
rate of interest calls forth capital
enough for our great enterprises.
"Food, health, capital and mobility of
men and goods are the four essentials to
progress. All of them are now abundant
y supplied and capable of indefinite
increase. Must not this be the basis of
a great social translormation. changing
our institutions, habits and traditions
mtil they establish a social adjust
ment as complete as the present eco
nomic situation permits? If there was
a break in traditions, institutions and
ideas when civilization moved from
southern to northern Europe, a still
greater crisis is before us when Amer
ican civilization matches American pos
sibilities." How Fishes Breathe.
By means of their gills fish breathe
the air dissolved in water. The oxy
gen consumed by them is not that
which forms the chemical constituent
of the water, but that contained in the
air which is dissolved in the water.
Fishes transferred to water from
which the air has been driven out by
a high temperature, or in which the
air absorbed by them is not replaced,
are soon suffocated. They require
aerated water to maintain life, and
they take it in constantly through their
mouths and expel it through their gills,
retaining the air. It follows that if
the water in a lake should be com
pletely cut off from oontaot with the
air long enough to exhaust the supply
of air. the fish in the lake would die.
It would take a severe and pretty
long-continued freeze to accomplish
this, but it might happen, and doubt
less has frequently happened, with a
small body of water. 8t. Nicholas.
Italians on Southern Farms.
Italians are industrious and thrifty
and are as rule excellent farmers,
market gardeners and tradesmen. In
the- parts of the seuth where the Ital

a decided sucoess am truek growers and
in other employments, and their con
dition in comparison with many of
their compatriots who have remained
in the great cities as day laborers
under the guidance of the exacting
padrones is striking. If this work can
be done on a large scale for all classes
and races of immigrants the gain for
the country will be tremendous. The
congestion in the cities will be re
lieved, the slums curtailed, many bur
dens lifted from the charities, the
criminal class reduced and the jail
