JAPANESE ATHLETICS.
They Form Part of the Exercises In tia
Schools.

Aney Form Part Of the Exercises In thai
Schools.
Athletics hold an important but sub
ordinate position in the schools of ia
pan. Once year there is a gathering
OF all the students in district to en-
gage in athletic contests In those
seen by Mr. Hearn, and described in
"Gllmpses of Unfamiliar Japan" six
thousand boys and girls from all the
schools within distance of twenty-five
miles were entered to take part. A
circular race-track, roomy enough for
an army, allowed four different kinds
OF games to be performed az the same
time.
There were races between the best
runners of different SCHOOLS; and races
in which the runners were tied to-
gether in pairs, the left leg of one to
the right leg of the other.
Little girls-as pretty as butterflies,
IN their slly-blue hakama and many
colored robes-contested in races in
which each one had to pick up as she
ran three balls of different colors out of
a number scattered over the turf.
AhS ll1OSU SpcCJdSlC was
the dumb-bell exercise. Six thousand
boys and girls, massed in ranks about
five hundred deep; six thousand pairs of
arms rising and falling exactly togeth-
er; six thousand pairs of sandalled feet
advancing or rctreating together at the
signal of the masters of gymnastics,
directing all from the tops of little
wooden towers; six thousand voices
chanting at once the "One, two, three, :"
of the dumb-bell drill: "Ichi, ni-san,
shi-go, rol1u-shichi, hachi."
The games began at eight o'clock in
the morning, and ended at five in the
evening. Then at signal fully six
thousand voices pealed out the nation
al anthem, and concluded it with three
cheers for the emperor and empress of
Japan. The japanese, instead of shout
ing when they cheer, chant with d
long cry, "A-a-a-a-ar' which sounds
like the opening tones of musical
chorus. Youths Companion.

Warmth in "A Snowdrift.

A wcll-known authority gives the
following advice to a person exposed
TO intense cold and unable to reach any
place OF shelter: THE moment hc
finds his strength failing, he should
look out for snowdrift, sheltered from
the wind b. hill, or some other OBJ
ject, and at once scrape a hole in it
large enough for his body and then
crawl into it. The snow will shelter
him IRON the cold and wind and keep
him warm. Human beings and sheep
have lain for days this way and been
saved, and generally it is the only
chance. N. Y. Tribune.

The Nt:O York Tribune says: THE habit Of
taking headache powders is increasing to ar
alarming extent among great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders az
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. III many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit OF taking them 10
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
of. Women usually begin taking them to re-
lieve raging headache and soon resort TO the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR

them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
