JAPANESE REVERE RULERS.
Object to Having Stamps Bearing Like
ncssos of Departed Ones Cancelled.

object to Having Stamps Bearing Like
nesscs of Departed Oacs Cancelled.
Private letters from Kioto bear proof
that the Japanese have their own way
of doing things. They recently had a
new issue of postage stamps which bore
portraits OF two OF the princes who died
in the recent war. Stamps of two and
of five sen were TO be issued. In the
United States one portrait would have
been on the two-sen stamp and one on
the iive-sen stamp, but in Japan it was
thought that thisswould be discrim-
mating against the memory of the one
pictured on the lower denomination.
This is why philatelists find that
there are two new two-sen and two new
Sive-sen stamps - each denomination
having one kind in memory of each
prince. But even this careful arrange
ment did not prevent new trouble
Some conservative japanese are con-
tending that il borders on disrespect to
the imperial family to pollute their
pictures with saliva and then to blotch
them with ink in the process of cancella-
ton.
One man has declared in the papers
that he shall decline to receive any mail
matter bearing these stamps. Some
postmasters have requested that they
be allowed to put the canceling mark
only on the edge OF the stamp, so as to
avoid defiling the princely faces. 70
old-fashioEed japanese it is especially
displeaslng TO see foreigners putting
portraits representing men of divine
descent into their mouths and putting
them on the envelopes with as much
indifference as we employ with the
faces CT Washington, Franklin and
Grant on our stamps. Some japanese,
If they use the stamps at all, must
reverently lift them to their head, care
fully wet che glue with pure water
and then utter prayer as they attach
them to the envelope.
| Did it ever occur to IN American that
| 1T was discrimination to place a Dor
| t1ait on lower denomination stamp
If this matter ever was discussed il was
probably agreed that the greater hon
or"Nent with the cheaper stamps, which
are in wider and more general use AS
for attaching any respect to them-dc

lures are on our various stamps ?-Bos.

The AFTERNOON NAP.
Ie Aids the Digestion OF the Noonda
Meal,

1e Aids the Digestion OF the MONDAY
Meal
The frequency with which medical
men are asked whether 1t is harmful to
!ndelge in the afternoon nap" is not,
perhaps, surprising, for several reasons.
Most persons have had experience Of the
seductive charms Of the somnolence
which has followed the comfortable IN
Eestaofl Of a midday or evening meat
xne meal finished, the diner arranges
himself comfortably in an ARMCHAIR; it
<rny be no lights pipe or cigar, takes
Np newspaper, and preps res to make
the most Of the rcstful conditions of hig
mind and body But nature soon begins
TO assert her sway. In time, the eyelidS
close. the head begins 10 nod, the news
paper falls from the hands, the pipe, ma
longer supported in the mouth, falls to
the floor, tand the symptoms of n nan
are complete. Whether the "winks" Inc
30 or 100 in number, the result is tn,
eame-a short, sound sleep. Then
comes the question: Is il harmful thus
20 fall asleep after q meal? BY no
means; Tor the very obvious reason that
the process Is merely physiological
one. and as such, when it occurs, is quite
Eefnral. Wien digestion is in progress.
7'sture has arranged that all the aSaiI-
able blood In the body shall be collected
an and about the digestive organs. Con-
requenfly, the blood supply to the brain
fails to low ebb, and thus sleep il
easily induced. On the other hand. OF
course, physiologically, it is wrong 'fof
brain work to- be attempted Immediate
