Hairdressing i'm Japan.

The Japanese do not use a pillow in
u sense of the word. They have a
small piece of wood something like a
dog in shape, on which they lay their
heads, the girls and women serene in the
consciousness that their hair will not be
disarranged. The wonderful structure
Of q japanese head-dress is usually made
up once in four days. It is evident that
if it were touzled on q down pillow, it
would have to be dealt with every day.
Children in some cases have the head
closely shaved, but more often the hair
is Enthusiastically cultivated. A favorite
style is to shave the head all round the
crown, leaving that covered with hair
shaped like a skull cap. Sometimes all is
shaved save d few locks over the fore,
head. Another rather fetching design il
to leave a couple of well-defned locks
over each ear, just enough to hold up
the child by if that were deemed a desir-
able disciplinary process.

NilI Power.

In all great undertakings much depends
upon the will power. An English sailor,
In writing of the late war in Egypt, says:
$50 intense was the heat that our boots
became almost red-hot. No idea can be
conveyed of the terrible sufferings we
endured from heat and thirst. | believe
IL the enemy had not been in our front,
numbers would have fallen out from
sheer exhaustion. AS it was, however,
we all felt that to give up at such q time
would have exposed us to merited con-
tempt. It was this thought, no doubt,
that served to nerve every man of us to
superhuman efforts. We halted every
500 yards or SO, but, instead of obtaining
relief. our misery was intensified,
and there was nothing for it but TO
go on or die where we stood"
So great was the torture of heat and
thirst that it required n hour and d half
to accomplish a march of three miles.
Had will power not been summoned to
the aid of the purely physical force, no
forward steps would have been taken.
The more highly the soul is endowed,
the finer and more responsive the nerve
fiber. the greater is the power OF yolltlon.
The man or horse possessed of sluggish
temperament and low vitality cannot be
depended upon to surmount formidable
obstacles, to persevere in the effort to
overcome what has been classed as i'm
possible. He who breeds horses down
instead of up. who pays more attention
to the confirmation of a certain kind OF
action than he does to nerve-fiber, will
never produce a world beater under the
saddle or in harness.-1NJ Field and

How O Bear Caught Fish.

Very few people know that bears take
to water naturally. They roam over the
mountains and through the forests, dig
open rotten logs for ants and worms, and
secure all the hornets nests they can, and
tear them to pieces and eat the young
grubs, pick berries Of all descriptions and
eat them, and would seem to belong to
the dry land animals. The fact is differ
ent. They love the water, not, perhaps,
as well as the Dos and deer, but better
than most dry land animals. They are
very fond of fish and are expert fishermen,
and show more cunning and instinct, If
not reason, than many city chaps | have
seen about the lakes. l came suddenly
upon a very large bear in a thick swamp,
lying upon q large hollow log across q
brook fishing, and he was SO much In
Eterested in his sport that he did not no
tice me until I had approached very near
to him, so that / could see exactly how ne
baited his hook and played his fish. He
fshed in this wise: There was a large
hole through tie log on which ne lay,
and he thrust his forearm through the
hole and held his open paw in the water
| ard waited for the fish to gather around
and into it, and when full he clutched
his fist and brought up a handful of fish,
and sat and ate them with great gusto;
then down with the paw again, N SO
on. The brook was fairly alive with
little trout and red-sided suckers, and
some black suckers, so the old fellow let
himself out on the fishes. He did not eat
their heads. There was quite a pile OF
them on the log. I suppose the oil 10
his paw attracted the fish and baited
them even better than a fy-hook, and his
~toe-nails were his hooks, and sharp ones
too. and oncc grabbed, the fish are sure
to STAY. They also catch frogs IN these
forest brooks, and drink of the pure
water in hot summer days, and love to
lie and wailow in the muddy swamps
as well as our pigs in the mlre.
They often cross narrow places IN lakes
bv swimming. and also rivers, and seen
to love to take a turn in TIE water. ]

A School in Tunis.

We visited a college for young boys in
Tunis, North Africa writes a correspond
ent. The class-rooms were small, without
windows, and lighted from the entrance
door only. Little benches a foot high
were used for desks, the scholars and
teachers sitting on the floor. They all
studied aloud. Each scholar in reciting
took his seat directly in front of the teach
eli, and within easy reach of his rod, both
continually swaying their bodies back and
forth. Most of the professors were quite
young men, with very intelligent faces.
French is considered very essential in the
education of boys The poor girls are not
educated at all, very few being able to
read. We only heard of three who hao
this accomplishment, and these were the
daughters of the secretary OF the hey.
The women spend their time in making
their clothes, dressing and sleeping.

Five Cents a Day.

The cumulative power of money is a
fact very generally known, but not gener-
ally appreciated. There are few men liv-
ing today, at the age Of sixty-five, hang
ing on to existence by some slender en-
ployment, or pensioners, it may be, on
the bounty of kindred or friends, but who
might by exercising the smallest particle
of thrift, rigidly adhered to in the past,
have set aside a respectable sum which
would materially help them to maintain
their independence in their old age. Let
us take the small and insignificant sum
of five cents. which we daily pay to
have our boots BACKED, to ride in a car a
distance we are able to walk, or to pro-
cur a bad cigar we are better without,
and see what it's value is in the course of
years. We will suppose a boy of fifteen,
by backing his own boots or
saving his car fare or going
without his cherished cigarette, puts by
five cents a day, in n year he saves
SIS %, which, being banked, bears in
terest at the rate of five per cent. per an
mum, compounded bi-yearly. On this
basis, when our thrifty youth reachesth
age of sixtF-ive, having set his five cents
per day religiously aside during fifty
years, the result is truly surprising. He
has accumulated no less a sum than
So 1913. II. A scrutiny of the progress
of this result is interesting. At the age
of thirty our hero has 1906; at forty,
ss77; at fifty, $1,ee7: at sixty, So, 1852.
After fifteen years saving his annual in
terest more than equals his original prin-
cipal; in twenty-five years it is more than
double; in thirty-five years it is foul
times as much; IN forty-iTe years it il
eight times as mu6h, and the last years
interest is $50, or ten and a half times
as much as the annual amount he puts
by. The actual cash amount saved in
fifty years is sofa, so, the difference be.

Natures Geological Garden.

DIR. Felix L. Oswald saws in the Gin
clnnati Enquirer: Sumatra is lust four
times as large as the State Of Ohio. and
Inc partial explorations of the west coast
prove that it contains twice as many diff
ferent birds and beasts as any other part
OF Southern Asia. There are elephants
In Ceylon, but neither tigers nor orang-
outangs; IN Borneo there are orangs, but
nc elephants; in Java wild cows, but no
larger apes, no crccodlles or rhinoceros.
Sunatra has them all, and, beside, a iy-
ing night-monkey (the winged lemur),
several species of gigantic frugiverous,
bats, and two varieties of Gibboa apes,
creatures whose long arms and acrobatic
talents make their capture SO difficult
that thev are rarely seen outside of their
native forests. The jungles swarm with
pheasants and tropical pigeons, and the
mountains with deer, wild goats and
panther cats. As a hunting ground for
naturalists, Sumatra would surpass Brazil
about as much as Brazil surpasses the
sandy pine forests of North Carolina,
where only the drum of an occasional
wood -pecker breaks the wide spread
silence. In fifty years from now, when
the United States will have a hundred
geological gardens and as many first-class
museums, their geological supply-station
will probably be the city of Palembang,
in Southern sumatra. siamang apes can
be bought there 70, ten guilders (about
$4.50); wanderoos, or long-maned bah.
oons, with black heads and white hands,
for six guilders: plebian monkeys for a
guilder apiece. The naturalist Bottger,
who visited the place in the interest Of
an Austrian scientific association, had an
interview with a hunter who offered te
catch three young orangs in as many
days. The old ones are rather hard te
get at.

was no safety for him there. The bafled
hunters of the reporter had heard the
cry, and they poured down the opposite
side. There had been a shower in the
early morning. In an instant Kennedy
lay upon his back in a shallow puddle of
water in the bottom of the ditch with a
writhing, compact mass of human tigers
struggling above him. One very tall,
thin fellow in the center brandished a
heavy wood-axe with both hands in the
air, evidently intent on dealing the pros
trate superintendent of police a blow
with it, but he could get no opening. A
few feet east of me stood q brawny
laborer-to Judge from his clothing and
general appearance-gazing upon the
scene with folded arms. Suddenly he
shook himself and sauntered-that is the
only word to describe. it-down into the
ditch. l saw his arms shoot out alter
nately twice-one, two, three, four blows
straight from the shoulder-the mob
staggered, separated and closed around
him. In q moment more he, too, lay
upon his back, his face covered with
blood, and his clothing torn to rags:
Once more the mob separated. They
looked for Kennedy to finish him, but he
was no longer there. | glanced west
ward, but the buggy had also disappeared:
That, too, was quick work. Turning
saw the heroic laborer stagger up the
side of the ditch and go off unmolested
in the direction of Third avenue. Some
time afterward superintendent Kennedy
gave a service Of silver plate to a petty
local politician as a reward for having
saved his life on that occasion. 1knee

Maine Central Railroad, and had to give up
work for q time. Fearing thati would sooner
or later turn to that dreaded Bright's disease,
I called in my son in Lewiston, who is in The
drug business, and after consulting with him
as to my case, he advised me to use Hunts
Remedy, as he knew of so many successful
cures that it had made in Lewiston and
vicinity. I at once commenced using 1t, and
began to improve. I hid less pain in my
back and sides, mywater was passed naturally
with less color and no pain, and after using
several bottles found that my pains we're all
gone and the weakness of the kidneys and
bladder were cured, and | have no trouble
with them now, and can attend to my bust
ness: and for one of my years l am enjoying
good health, and thanks to Hunts Remedy
for it, and I consider it q duty and pleasure
