there Is little doubt that III the course
of years this custom will come III 1t
is likely that the present practice Of
addressing even the most aged of spin
sters as Miss Will die hard, but in the
end common sense may be trusted to
prevail. In the meantime, however, it
is, in numberless instances, distinct
disadvatS tor person no longer
young To be compelled to the perpetual
announcement of her unwedded state.
Although there be many elderly and mid
die aged spinsters, the title of Miss
presupposes youth, and in the case of a
woman of 30 and over, who is, say, "a
singer, audiences TO whom she Is known
only by reputation will more likely
than not be SO disappointed at first sight
at her maturity of appearance as to be
obliyious for time at least, to the
merits of her work
This particular effect was produced
lately in the case of woman vocalist
whose voice is exceptionally beautiful
and whose method and Interpretation
are we'll nigh tlawless. Known to her
hearers only through professional work
of few months duration, on the occa-
sion of her appearance at the time un'
der notice distinct murmur OF dlsap-
proving surprise was heard ON all sides
of the crowded hall, ooh, | thought she
was young girl" And by the contrast
between the Miss of her title and the
maturity of her face and figure the
woman was made to appear older than
her years, which were not apparently
more than 30. 1t is, as a matter of fact,
quite AS ridiculous that spinsters of 30
and more should have to go through life

would be tn have gray bearded, bald

In the Persian gulf the divers have
curious way Of opening the season.
They depend implicitly upon the shark
conjurers and will not descend without
their presence. To meet this difficulty
the government is obliged to hire the
charmers to divert the attention of the
sharks from the fleet. AS the season
approaches vast numbers of natives
gather along the shore and erect huts
and tents and bazaars. At the opportune
moment-usually at midnight, SO as to
reach the oyster banks at sunrise-the
feet, to the number of so or 100 boats,
puts out to sea, Each of these boats
carries two divers, IA steersman and Il
shark charmer and is manned by eight
or ten rowers. Other conjurers remain
on shore, twisting their bodies and
mumbling incantations to divert the
sharks. In case "a man eater Is perverse
enough to disregard the charm and at
tack IL diver an alarm is given, and DC
other diver will descend on that day.
The power of the conjurer is believed
to be hereditary, and the efficacy of his
lamentations to be wholly independent
of his religious faith. Frank II. Sweet
on Pearl Seeking" in Lippincott's.

tee to use the schoolyards in the dis
plan into operation, and there seems to
be no opposition to the project any
where.
The plan is to use the appropriation
just so far as it will go in fitting out
each yard with simple articles and ap-
pliances for the use of the children, be-
ginning i'll the most congested portions
of the city. No one section will be fla
yored over any other. In each yard
there will be a sand pile for the little
children to play in, blocks for their jul
venile building operations, wooden sta
tionary swings and simple gymnasto
apparatus. Then there will be an avn
ing at the shady end. if there is any
shade, where mothers can come with
their babies for few hours each day
away from the hurly burly of the crowd
ed streets. For each playground there
will be "A young man as custodian, who
will be there to teach the boys how to
play ball, pull away, prisoner base
and other pastimes. To give the boys a
taste for these innocent games and take
their attention from initiating the po-
lice patrol, playing robber and arrestlng
each other and engaging in other too
realistic sports will be one of the prin-
cipal objects of the work. In short, the
committee intends to supply the need
of public Fairgrounds which will an
swer the purpose of the small parks,
which the real estate board wishes to
have distributed all over the city, until
those breathing spaces are established.
Miss Sadie American, chairman of
the committee, who has been most in
strumental in furtherng the project,
said last evening: 1--WE are trying to aid
the work of improving the morals of
Chicago, and we are beginning with the
children III the worst parts of the city.
By putting in this system of play
grounds we hope to do considerable good
in keeping the children off the streets
and SO lessen the amount of crime. In
summer there IL much more crime
among the children than at any other
time of the year, because they are then
free from the restraining influences Of
ShiiOOl lilts 4 Vi INSTANCE III viz .b'sN
we'll street district IL is said that juvenile
crime increases 80 per cent in sum
mer over the other seasons of the year.
Owners of lots will not allow them t.
play there, and policemen will not let
them play ball on the streets, so be-
tween the two they have a hard time of
it. The parks are too far away for them
to go there, and they must have some
place to play. We are not trying any
new experiment This plan has been
tried in Philadelphia and other cities
and has been success from the start.

Japanese Love of the Beautiful.

In the principal room of every Jap
anese house built by rule there is "a
slightly raised platform sometimes SO
arranged that it can be entirely inclos-
ed. This dais is the sacred niche"
where the mikado would sit should he
ever enter the house. 1t is still the rule
there that the subject must not look
down upon the mikado In the days,
not very long past, when it was unlaw-
full even to look upon his face, he would
have rat entirely shut off from view,
and his food would have been served
through side opening SO placed as to
prevent sight of his sacred counte-
nance. The royal Enclosure is looked
upon as an altar. With it the whole
house must be in keeping, and 1T is
here that some grouping of flowers or
leaves, some beautiful work of art, is
always to be seen. The spot is itself IA
sample OF excellent work, and here the
little children learn from infancy to re-
we're and love the beautiful and the
good in nature and in art,
The love of the beautiful seems, in
deed, to be Unborn in the japanese race.
Pictures on the wall are changed every
month, according to the season of the
year. Clusters of favorite flowers are
gracefully disposed around the house in
huge pots or vases and are source OF
pleasure to young and old. In the open
space at the rear of the house, no mat
ter how small, garden is made in
which tiny landscape is skillfully
planned. Ida Tigner Hodnett in st.

THE YUKON MOSQUITO.
Drives Moose and Caribou to the snow

Drives Moose and Caribou to the SNOW
Line and stings Bears Blind.
Not only do the Yukon mosquitoes
attack men and overwhelm them, but
they drive the moose, deer and caribou
up the mountains to the snow line,
where these animals would prefer not
to be in berry time. They kill dogs,
and even the big brown bear, that is
often miscalled grizzly, has succumb-
ed to them. Bears come down to the
river from the hillside in the early fall
to get some of the salmon that are often
thrown upon the banks when the run"
is heavy
If bruin runs foul of swarm of mos
quitoes and has not his wits about him
his day has come. The insects will
alight all over him. His fur protects
his body, but his eyes, ears and nose
will soon be swollen up and bleeding,
and unless be gets into a river or a
strong wind be will be driven mad and
blind, to wander about hopelessly until
he starves to death.
Although the Alaska summer is short,
two broods of mosquitoes hatch out each
year, and are ready for business from
one to ten seconds after they leave the
water. 1t rains good deal along the
| Yukon, and rain is welcomed, for it
drives the mosquitoes to cover. They
hide under leaves and branches until
the shower is over; then they come out
boiling with rage at the time they have
been forced to spend in idleness and the
miner has harder time than ever after
his respite.
Mosquitoes and snowflakes are not
contemporaries i'll the States, but in
Alaska it is different Snow does not
bother them SO much as rain, and an
early snow may fall while they are still
on the wing. Fog does not choke them
either. They appear to like it. They
Roat about in it as in ambush and take
the unwary prospector by surprise. =

Speaking of antiquity brings up the
inexplicable American fad of using
coats of arms. 1t reached climax not
long ago when a youthful daughter of
wealthy German brewer visited an
engraver S office, and looking over the
books on heraldry, finally ordered one
coat of arms for her own use which
combined the prettiest features of those
belonging to three great English houses.
Her youngest sister, not to be outdone,
ordered one for her notepaper and books
which contained devices from five old
English houses, not one of which coin
cided with the others choice. The
amazed engrayer endeavored to expos
tulate, but neither of the young women
would listen to his argument They
liked the coats of arms, they said.
Anybody could buy them who wanted
to, and they didn't propose to allow
any ridiculous nonsense to prevent them
having what pleased them. Besides that,
they wanted them different anyhow, SO
that they wouldn't get mixed up. =
