THE JAPANESE AND DEATH

| have just spoken of the Japanese as
behaving simply at funerals. That is
only partially correct. They are quiet
but not quite simple-so quiet that their
manner seems simple. AS matter of
fact, they take an elaborate part in the
prescribed rites, bowling here, bending
there, strewing prayers to the right and
sweetmeats to the left. But it Is all
done with good accent and with good
discretion" They have the art of arts,
the art that hides art. Let me dwell
upon this thought a moment. Let me
put 1t another way, for 1t is one of the
most beautiful things that can be said
Of the Japanese. They have learned to
apply to life and to art (their life and
art are almost one) the great are prin-
ciples that Hamlet proclaimed to the
players. They, in the very torrent,
tempest and the whirlwind of passion
have acquired and begot temperance
that gives it smoothness They are not
too tame" Discretion Is their tutor,
and they o'erstep not the modesty of
nature. And on no other occasion is
this splendid national characteristic of
smooth, discreet behavior and appro-
plldle dcbluii So IiOIlCGdDle OF SO CRATE
full as when a number of Japanese
gather together about the deathbed, the
coffin or the grave of friend or kinsman.
The Japanese are as courteous as
they are theatrical and artistic. Their
courtesy and their art are very closely
allied. Their keen sense of courtesy,
and their unflagging practice of it, has
l believe as much to do with the quiet
ness and fitness of their funerals as has
their fine artistic instinct. They are as
a nation even prouder and more stadi-
Gus, l think, of their courtesy than of
their artistic excellence. Cry; it will
do you good" l said once to a poor
Japanese woman who, crouching beside
her dying husband, was controlling
herself with an effort that would, I
feared, make her i'll. She laid her little,
slim brown finger upon her trembling
red lip and shook her head, then whis-
| pered: TT might disturb him" Cry;
| it will do you good" 1 said the next
day when the man was dead, and she
seemed almost PROSTATE with grief and
over-enforced self-control. ut would
be most rude to make hideous noise
before the sacred dead" came the soft
reply.-St. PauPs.

mousseline, the jabot was of the same
and the sleeves were entirely draped
with it, showing large transparent
puffs at the shoulders and ruf1ies at the
wrists The belt. with its looped trim
ming, was of black satin. Just as long
as skilled designers put forward in
green such dainty dresses as this one,
women to whom green is particularly
becoming may feel that they may stick
to the color in entire safety.
Blondes had scant consideration at
the hands of the millinery devisers
when the latter fixed upon carnation,
coral, cardinal and scarlet combina-
lions as stylish for spring hats. The
woman who is best suited by this gor-
geousness Is she who has brown hair
pale cheeks, scarlet mouth and hand
some lashes. She takes on a ripeness
of bloom that is the rage and envy of
both her brunette and blonde rivals
The genuine brunette, with black hair
and either yellow or bright coloring,
looks rather theatric and pronounced
in these scarlets. Her coloring looks
hard, and she cannot powder out her
cheeks without spelling her eyes. This
is where the brown girl has the advan-
tage. If she has color it is likely to be
the soft kind that gathers richness from
the scarlet of her hat, or if she has not
much color she can powder out what
she has, and only add to the effect of
her eyes and lips thereby. Women are
using lot of powder these days Their
excuse is. and is not without some rea-
sonableness, that careful adjustment of
woman's own tints is necessary now
that the colors of gowns and hats are
so pronounced. FI.ORETTE.

TIE MOsO UTTO,S MISSION.

The mosquito season Is near and be-
cause there will surely be many bad
words said against the mosquito dur
ing its season it is we'll to calmly con-
slider now what good words can be
said for it. The first thought of those
who remember last years mosquitoes
will be that no good words can be said
for this years. But it appears that
there can be some. A Massachusetts,
man has made the discovery that the
mosquito is not the unmitigated little
devil that 1t seems to be. And, curious
ly enough, it appears that the mosquito
is not only guiltless of the worst charge
that has been made against it, but
that while it has been accused Of pois
oning human beings it has been en-
gagged in benefcently protecting them
well established theory that the mos
quito is a carrier and distributor of
malaria" What malaria" is nobody,
except perhaps the mosquito, knows,
but it has been observed that mos
quitoes abound where malaria"
abounds, and in order to explain the
spread Of malaria" mosquitoes have
been scientifically burdened with the
responsibility for it. But this conven-
lent Islander is now refuted. It is now
as certain as anything scientific can be
that the mosquito is not hostile dis
trfbutor of malaria" but kindly in
oculator against It. When it lights on
and bores into a human being it is vac
Gina ting that being against malaria"
It exacts drop or two of blood as its
fee, but now that its kindly mission
is known the fee will not be considered
exorbitant.
When mosquitoes are biting you next
summer be patient with and thankful
10 them, If you can be. They will mean
we'll by you, and it will be a shame for
you to ungratefully slap them out of
existence while they are trying to pro-
tect you against malaria"

THE 1RBTyRATION TREATY.

Yesterday while war news was COM
ing from the Grecian frontier the SEN
ate of the United States agreed to vote
on the proposed arbitration treaty with
noon of May There doesn't appear
to be much deep public interest in this
there is an indication that some of the
people are thinking about it and think
Camp Scott, Confederate veterans, Of
Minden, Louisiana, represents that
these veterans, eighty in number, "hav-
ing intimately known the actualities Of
war and forcibly realizing its evils"
respectfully ask to be heard "as an au-
thority against it as a method Of set
ting disputes between peoples" They
say that 1.-The recent proffer by a pow
erful kindred nation to substitute in
the adjustment of international differ
ences the arbitrament of a calm and
disinterested mediatory tribunal for the
inflamed passions of partisan popular
prejudice offers an opportunity of in
augurating a rational and radical rev.
olution of international procedure
which, if now repulsed, may never re-
cur" They therefore ask the senate Of
the United States to ratify the treaty,
and conclude by saying that as they
have accepted in good faith the result
of the civil war they now ask for Glenn
ency, not for themselves, but for the
generations of both sections who are to
come after them.
This appeal, which probably correctly
represents the feeling of most of those
in this country best qualified to speak
against war, should be needed. Per-
haps the situation on the Grecian from
tier will tend to make our rulers more
thoughtful and less ready to fight or to
talk about fighting.

Many scientists are devoting their at
tention to the task of rapidly and
cheaply liquefying air. This, when ac-
complished, will be of great value for
many purposes, of which refrigeration
and the moving of engines, stationary
and locomotive, are the most import
ant. BY the most successful method
hitherto used, German experimenter
was able, with copper tube apparatus
weighing 1872 pounds and a pressure
averaging more than 100 atmospheres,
to liquefy air in two hours without re-
sorting to auxiliary cooling expert
ments. By means, however, of a ma
chine exhibited last month before the
Dublin Royal Society, liquid air was
produced in twenty-five minutes. The
air pressure in this case was less than
eighty-seven atmospheres and the ap-
paratus weighed only twenty pounds.
The liquid air was not in quantity large
enough to be of commercial import
ance, but the system was a marked
Improvement on all its predecessors.

the average is about 910,000,000 less.

The George Washington monument

Pennsylvania branch of the Society of
the Cincinnati to the first president of
the order. Those who first suggested
the monument did not live to see its
erection. AS long ago as July 4, 1910,
it was decided 70 establish the memo
rial and committee was appointed to
solicit funds. The money was slow in
coming, however, and what was col
lected was allowed to lie for the ac-
emulation of interest. BY 1880 the
fund had grown to $137 ,O0O and to this
was added $4,000, collected by citi-
GEMS organization. Other additions
since complete the $250,000 which the
monument will cost. 1T stands in In
