We are discussing however, the
character of labor employed, and
we desire to call the attention OF
our correspondent to the fact that
In few if any of the English news
papers office of this country Is
Asiatic labor employed. From
carrier boy to foreman there Is not
an Asiatic In the lot Is this be
cause the japanese or Chinese can
not do the work! Possibly our
correspondent thinks so, but such
Is not the fact. We have no doubt
that the expenses of this office
could be reduced fully 5000 a
week by the employment parti-
cularly of japanese. Inside of a
few months the Asiatic could, in
many departments, do as much
work as the white man or Hawai-
ian and he would do it at one
half the cost. Our friend prob
ably knows that in some depart
ments of the business with which
he is connected, it has been found
that the Asiatic can do work that
the white man has been doing.
It's Just the same with the news
paper. The Asiatic could do the
work if he were given the oppor-
tunity. But i'll the case of the
opportunity is withheld
"Why Is this" our correspond
ent may ask. We are free TO adj
NIT that one very good reason Is
because the newspapers get a
large proportion of their support
from the English speaking public
We are also free to admit that
in event of many years
continuation of the policy follow
ed by good friends with whom our
correspondent Is acquainted, 1t will
only be a matter of time when
japanese and Chinese editions will
be necessary III order to keep up
with the advancing procession.

warship "Naniwa" for the purpose of
investigating the recent difficulty with

Ouini,e in War.

An American invention, that Of medi-
cal tabloids, introduced in African work
by an American newspaper man, Fl. M.
Stanley, enabled the British expedition
TO Ashantee to accomplish its work
with slight loss of life, thereby afford
ing a striking contrast to the French
expedition to Madagascar. The French
officers resisted the efforts of the med
lcal staff to provide proper accommo-
dation for the sick, and they lost nearly
5000 men from disease. At last ac-
counts the English had not lost fifty
men. A london correspondent says II
was known from the first that the AS
hantee expedition was a Doctors war.
and far more care was bestowed on the
medicine chest than on the ammunition
wagon. Events proved that quinine
tabloids were far more useful than ball
cartridges Buffalo Courier.

Long heads are usually associated
with the possession of great intellec'
tual ctrength and mental capacity.
but not before have they been regarded
as indicative Of any physical peculiar
ity.
Herr D. Amo2, however, has been
making observations on 5000 soldiers
at Baden, and the result of these, which
was communicated to the recent con-
gress of German men OF science at
Heidelberg, shows that the proportions
Of the body almost invariably conform
to the size Of the skull. Tall men
Herr Ammon found, had generally long
skulls, or skulls of medium length,
whereas the short men had round
heads. Most of the rcundheadcd men
came from the Black Forest; thoce with
long heads usually belonged to the val
ley Of the Rhine, and were especially
numerous in towns, and in the neigh
borhood Of the castles of ancient fam
lilies.
From this fact, Herr Ammon con-
cluded that the round-headed men had
been the inhabitants of the Rhine
Valley, that they had been driven from
1t by long-headed invaders, and that
the latter had established themselves
near their victorious leaders. MOI onl:
does the German anthropolcglst find 2
certain relation between the he;ejht o.
the figure and the shape Of the skull,
but his observations show that no few
er than 80 per cent. Of the men exGmin-
ed who had blue eyes had fair hair,
and that physical growth is generally
quicker in the case of the brown-eyed
than in that OF the blue-eyed type.

Through Flames and Over Burning Em

The most striking ceremonial of Shin
20 worship is that which Is concluded
by the spectacle Of a band of priests
walking through flames of burning
brush clad in flowing silk robes anu
wearing for the protection of their feet
straw sandals only, or in some cases
nothing but stockings.
The service begins ut 0 o'clock at
night and just outside the temple
where plays and dances of religious
character are performed on a temporary
platform erected for the occasion.
Meanwhile fnsije the shrine the
crowd of priests Is gathering and their
monotonous. walking chants are heard
rising and falling in mournful cadence
| Gllmpses of the interior also show the
little girl acolytes tending to the sacred
candles.
This lasts for about one hour. at the
end OF which the priests bow before tht
shrine and issue forth headed by one o.

ple heap of green pine branches about
twenty feet long by twelve feet wide
has been piled up and the band Of
priests circle this thrice, mumbline
what is apparently an invocation.
This pyre is then lighted by the torch
bearers at the eastern end and as the
fire gains headway 1t sends out dense
clouds Of smoke. All this time the horn
blowing and marching are continued
accompanied by shrill cries and &
wrlnglng Of hands and shaking OF
slaves.
When the blaze has somewhat sub
sided, leaving bed of burning Goals,
the priests break the line of march and
gather in groups at the eastern end
Then at a signal the chief priest calm
ly marches over the fiery floor from
which ftful flames arise that play
around his long gown and lick the in
side Of his loose sleeves. Other priesth
follow In turn until the entire number
has passed through and then the con-
mon people are allowed the privilege.
1t Is essential that the passage shall be
made In every case from the east to the
west and failure to observe this. for.
mality is punished severely.
When the last devotee has had his
turn, the embers which have become
scattered are solemnly collected, the
priests again form their line of march
and file back to the temple In the order
in which they left 1t and the flre-wor

There are at the present time three
English poets, each of whom has passed
his SOth year, and Is still living In re,
tirement and in the enjoyment OF rep.
utation that is in the pest. One is Fred.
erick Tennyson, now near his Goth year,
who has carried his art into old age,
and is even now preparing volume for
publication. The time was when he
seemed to be greater poet than his
brother Alfred, but the laureate long
ago left him behind in the race. An
other Is Mr.. Aubrey de We're, whose
father, 4r Aubrey de We're, was friend
of Wordsworth, and whose poetry is In
some sense a reminiscence of the Lake
poets" He has written largely on Ro-
man Catholic subjects, but his work
has been better adapted for small cir
Gle than for the multitude. The third is
Mr. Philip James Bailey, who years
ago was famous as the author of "Fes-
tus," but who has so died out of recol'
lection that few of the present genera
ton have ever heard of him. Once he
was rated far ahead of Browning in
public estimation, and his admirers
claimed that he would leave Tennyson
out of sight.-Boston Herald.

The Hygiene of the Face.

Apart from indigestion and constipa'
tion-two potent factors in the ruin Of
O naturally healthy complexion-there
are variety of forms of mlsmanage-
ment which conduce to blotchlness and
pimply deformities. Among them must
be ranked the practice of washing the
face with hot water, a widespread form
of self-indulgence in cold weather The
hot water, especially when reinforced
by coarse OF unduly alkaline soap, re-
moves an unduly large proportion of the
natural fat of the skin, leaving 1t with
a roughened surface which is very lla'
BILE to excorlate or chap" and requires
more frequent washing to keep 1t clean
owing to It's catching the dust.
Nothing probably does so much to age
the skin a too frequently repeated abb

explain why the dainty Frenchwomap

John IL. McLean'S
Great N0WSDaDer.

Without single exception, there
IS beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer /;
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John r. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
SO cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 600 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. BY
maintaining the price of the PAPER,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
1t incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as we'll as
those of greater magnitude.
