No Head Covering for Girls in Japan.

~ HttHu DuFVHIHE. :. Tut OI - N ~ N'II''
There is no special head-covering in
the native costume for, girls. Indeed,
the mode Of dressing thehair would not
admit of hats and bonnets such as ours.
There is rivalry among japanese girls
as TO whose hair shall be most becom-
ingly and artistically arranged. whose
girdle be most gracefully tied, and
whose robe show the most harmonious
effects; and they are quite equal totheir
western sisters in the taste for person
al adornment. The Japanese parasol is
used as a shelter from the sun. and the
European umbrella is gaining favor.
For going out in the rain there are rain
coats and rain-hats made of oiled paper.

ELKEs WINS FROM TAYLoRE.
The Hour Championship Race in
Madison Square Garden.

New York, Dec. s.-The indoor cycle sea-
Garden tonight under the auspices Of the
American Cycle Racing Association. at
tracted an immense audience, nearly
10000
A banked board track measuring ten
laps to the mile has been laid around the
edges of the arena. The programme was
made up of six events, the principal of
which was a special match race between
the worlds one-hour champions, Edouard
Taylore of France, and Harry B. Elkes
of Glen Falls, N. " paced by tandems.
Nat Butler OF Boston won the profess
sional indoor championship at a mile very
handily from Walthour of Atlanta.
AS the programme was too lengthy the
finals in this event, and the trials and
final in the ha.f-mile professional handi-
cap, were postponed until some evening
during the coming week in order that the
one-hour race between Taylore and Elkes
could be decided before midnight This
event was begun few minutes before II
o'clock The men started from opposite
sides of the track, and were paced by
tandems. The prize was purse of 81 200
$500 of which went to the loser.
The American rider was the quicker
away when the pistol cracked, and at the
end of the first mile he had gained nearly
quarter of a lap on the Frenchman.
Ilkes kept on gaining steadily, and at
the beginning of the ninth mile was al
most one-quarter of a mile ahead.
During the eleventh mile Fixes still
farther increased his lead, and Taylore, in
his efforts to keep up rode away ahead
of his pacemakers. Elkes kept forging
ahead and when he completed the four
tenth mile he was 3la laps to the good.
He seemed to be flying around the track
and soon had another lap to his credit,
forcing Taylore to leave his paeemakers
again, the French rider lacking on behind
the American for couple of laps,
Fixes passed the twenty mark In
| 1918 3-5, and was then more than half a
mile ahead. Ha never let up on the
merry pace, and had set the lead off, mile
after mile, with untiring energy. He was
| eight laps 10 the good at the end of the
| tWenty-ffth mile, and the watches of the
! timers indicated 54:4S S-5. Encouraging
cries greeted Fixes on each revolution, and
he continued to gain to the end. Wher
| the pistol ended the race Fixes had cover
ed q miles 1,1O4 yards in the one hour
while Taylore was more than mile be
| hind.
The hour record held by Ell1es on an out
door track is 81 miles 1920 yards.

lay of Dinners for Mark Antony.
z. II. House is contributing to st. Nbeho-
las series of articles on Bright Sides in
History" In the December number the au-
thor tells this story of ancient extrava-
gance:
THE pearl which Cleopatra drank to An
tonys health was valued at nearly $780,
go, so at one mouthful she disposed Of as
much as the cost of Cangula's supper. l
suppose that was the most valuable pearl
we have any knowledge of; though Julius
Caesar owned one worth $3.50, OO0 which
he gave to the mother of Brutus-the same
Brutus who afterward helped to kill Gaze
sar. Pearls seemed to have held out par
tioular temptations to people who took
pleasure in wasteful follles, perhaps be-
cause no other jewel could be so easily
swallowed.
"Cleopatra's prank was not the first Of its
kind. The same aDsurdity had been com
mitted by silly fellow in Rome named
Aesop-not your favorite fable-teller, for
he lived centuries earlier, and was very
wise man. The Roman Aesop was the son
of a rich actor, and just to make himself
talked about, he took pearl from the ear
drop of Caecila, the wife of the tyrant
Sylla, and, according to writers of that
| age drank IL in vinegar. l believe that
the possibility of dissolving this kind of
gem is disputed by many modern authori-
/ ties but the ancients appear to have had
| no doubt on the subject for the instances
| recorded by them were numerous, and
| were attested by men of scientific stand
ing A Japanese naturalist, who has
studied pearls infinitely, states that he has
| found them of such various quality and
| structure that the existence of specimens
which might be melted does not seem TO
him inconceivable. But whether Aesop IL
quehed his pearl or not. the performance
certainly cost him a sum equivalent to
| $400O0-quite enough, though nothing in
comparison with what Cleopatra squan-
| dered Hers was the widest piece of ex.
| travagance that 1 can recall.
ut was the fashion to be extravagant
then. Mark Antony was not far behind
the Egyptian Queen in that respect
though his fancy was not for beverages
favored by trinkets. Substantial food was
more in his line. A visitor who once went
into the kitchen of his palace in Alex
andria saw eight wild boars roasting a.
the same time, and thought there must be
an immense number of guests expected
but the cook told him only twelve persons
would dine that day, and the reason of the
extensive preparation was that no ont
could say exactly when Antony would 81
to the table. But whenever he gave thu
signal the meat must be just in proper
condition at that moment. So il was Tho
rule to get ready a series of dinners, over
tapping one another, you might say al
intervals of fifteen or twenty minutes
Only one could be eaten. and the rest were
wasted; but the waste did not matter. An
tony was never kept waiting and that il
dis opinion, was the thing to be consid

AN ATTEMPTED LYNCHING.
Mob Wanted the Negro Who Killed
Peacock az Lumber City.


Macon, Ca, Dec. 3.-A special to the
Telegraph says that McRae, in Telfair
county, is In a state of excitement be-
cause of two prisoners in jail there.
One of these is the negro who murdered
Commissary Keeper Peacock at Lumber
City recently, and the other is the white
man whom the negro charges with having
paid him $50 to do the killing. 1t is thought
the white man, whose name is Strickland,
will be allowed TO have a fair trial. but
the feeling against the negro is very in
tense.
1t was planned by people along the
Southern Railroad tonight that the negro
should be lynched before midnight but the
effort failed. The crowd did not organize
sufficiently to accomplish anything and
the lynching, if il occurs at all, viii be
later.
The murder was brutal one. The ne
gro claimed a half-day's pay more than
Mr.. Peacock had allowed him. A quar-
rel ensued. To avoid trouble Peacock paid
the negro for the half day and discharged
him. The negro went away and soon re-
turned with a gun loaded with buckshot.
He snot Peacock dead and then fired an
other load into the dead mans body.
He was captured last night a few miles
away from Lumber City. He says he
would have killed Peacock anyhow, and
Simply took the quarrel as an excuse. He
was heavily guarded in an otherwise emp
~ coach this afternoon ON the train that
brought him from Lumber City.
