Old Japanese Timepieces.

Both Japan and China have long since
well earned the sobriquet of the Lands of
Opposites, and they are just as ''oppo
site" In the matter of timepieces as any
thing else. The Japanese have two styles
of clocks-tho SO called "long clock,
with hands fastened to slide regulated
by descending weight which marks time
on long, narrow, upright DIAL and tho
"round clock, with stationary hands and
movable dial. In case of the 'long clock"
1t Is necessary to set" it according to the
varying lengths of the days, and for this
purpose six dals are furnished with each
clock. These are heightened or shortened
according to the time of year, and some
arc made SO that the pointer or hand slide,
which moves downward during the day,
starts upon an upward trip as soon as the
sun sets. All of tho round clocks are pro-
vided with spring attachment, which
only needs to he touched at sunset in order
to make the dial run backward during the
hours of the night.-St. Louis Republic.

SWIMMING IN SAMOA.
How the Dusky Kanalka Maidens Enjoy
Themselves ut Christmas.

XQem6GAve8 8J Cnf1Btmn9s
Existence in Samoa is something differ
emit from what Is understood by real
life" Each village has chief maiden,
sacred as O queen bee, very beautiful and
attended by dwarfs and hunchbacks, as IN
the fairy tales. There are also water
fairies. Here Is an account OF them on
Christmas morning, from lady's book on
"In stevenson's Samoa" ''As soon as we
arrived all Tau LIS cousins and nieces,
who happened to be visiting her, came
rushing down from the house, and in a
minute had shaken of stheir pretty holi-
day dresses and wound Sight colored lava
Iayas round their bodies with such cum
ming and art that no matter how strongly
the river might be running, or in what
vicissitudes they might find themselves,
the utmost decorum and propriety were
maintained. Soon the fun began, the
pretty, bright eyed, brown skinned girls
climbing up on the branch OF huge tree
and turning somersaults, one after an
other, into the Deep rushing river below.
''They precipitated themselves into the
water every way, except head foremost,
with which method they were enchanted,
and asked as again and again to repeat
our diving. And they worked hard trying
TO do likewise, but always turned somer-
sauit or made some gyration infinitely
more difficult in their efforts to take an
ordinary dive. There was great laughter
and merrymaking at these water parties.
Sometimes one would catch large prawn
and pursue another in the water, holding
up the monster, with its great antenna
stretching out eight inches or more.
"This morning Lau Lii suggested we
should try who could sit longest on the
bottom of the river. Mono OF US could stay
down at all. Then our hostess disappeared
below. When the water cleared, we could
see her calmly sitting on the shingle and
twisting her masses Of black curling hair
on the top of her head. 1t seemed an age
to us spectators before she rose and came
smiling to tho surface, not the least dis
turbcd or out of breath, and when asked
how she did it answered:
"'Oh, just put big stone In my lap. !"

Etiquette Of the Table.

Although in America we have no hercdi-
tary aristooracy to dictate rules of conduct
or what constitutes elegance of manners,
there are persons of native refinement and
good taste who have had experience of
other lands and peoples who may be trusted
as examples, writes Mrs Burton Kings
land In The LadiH' Home Journal. These
have their shibbNeths, their criterions
of breeding, that are well defined. A man
that takes mashed potato with los terrapin
and orders Il large cup of coffee with milk
at the conclusion of his dinner may be a
more worthy member of society, finer
specimen of mankind than the 'gifded
youth" of fashionable circles, but he would
not be regarded as man of refinement,
hardly as a gentleman, by the privileged
classes either here or in Europe.

THE FOLLlES OF FASHION.
Men ~ Reckless as Women In the Matter
OF Healthful Clothing.


OF Healthful Clothing.
Leaving out of the question for tho pres
ent the costume Of women, we may call
attention to that Of man. At the present
time 1t Is tho fashion to leave the chest
more exposed than any other part of the
body. In tho front the waistcoat Is open
over tho lower part of the throat and in
place of being made Of uniform thickness
at the back there is only mere lining.
But the exposure is much worse when
man assumes evening dress. During tho
daytime when q man Is going about in
tho open air on his business Or pleasure he
wears thick wooden clothes, with stout
boots and warm socks or stockings. AT
night no puts on very thin clothes, vest
which is positively no protection what
ever, very thin shoes, possibly silk stock
ings. relinquishes his CATERS and goes out
In the open air without the possibility of
efficient protection on his way to a con-
cert, theater or a dinner party, and then
as our contemporary The Lancet says,
copgratulates himself that he is not as
those silly women who 90 about with the
upper part Of their chests bare.
Speaking with medical authority, The
Lancet adds:
"We arc certain, however, that mon
catch cold from wearing evening dress far
more than women do and 1t behooves all
who go out in tho evening to keep the legs
and feet warm as well as tho upper part of
the body and to wear an extra vest to make
up for the practical disappearance of the
waistooat.
There is no denying tho absolute truth
of these very sensible remarks. The fol
lies Of fashion are not confined to women,
and consequently both sexes have to pay
tho penalty for INDUCING in them. Lon

The Catbird.

One of the most maligned of all birds is
the catbird. Here is a case Of give dog a
bad name and hang it. The popular opin-
ion is that the catbird is a flirt, thief,
jealous and all that is mean; instead OF
that he is beautiful singer, and most in
tercsting and useful and helpful to other
birds. Says Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller: II
saw one of these birds take charge of two
orphans and bring them up. Another one
! knew had built her nest in honey
suckle that clambered about the trellised
entrance to the house. If a cat appeared
anyhere around, the catbird would fly to
tho window of my room and follow me
until / had driven the marauder OF the
premises. "-Philadelphi Ledger.
