N0GUcHl, JAPANESE POET.
His Muse Ii Much Influenced by
Buddhism-He Has the Spirit
of the East.

Yone Noguchi, a young Japanese living in
California, and educated in this country. is
beginning to be recognized as a true poet.
He has been accused of initiating Walt

Noguchi's muse is much Influenced by
Buddhism, and naturally he has the spirit
Of the far East. The poetry of the young
Japanese shows every now and then the
crudities of youth and breaks out OCCASION

the poems of all young men with the "di-

From the New York Herald.
When the dictate against gloves went
forth. the new harness" for the hand was
evolved from some brilliant brain, and 1t
is the ultimate barbarism. 1t isn't really
so bad-it is not even expensive for those
who already own gems, set or unset; but
the 5eweled harness is the thing to wear
when barehanded at the theater. This is
what 1t is like. On every finger is worn a
ring. with emeralds. rubies, diamonds and
any other stone that happens to belong to
the fortunate owner. Even the thumb has
a ring. and all those on the fingers are
Joined together like the o!d-fashioned brass
knuckle.
From each ring there runs n fine gold
chain that connects il with the large tur-
quoise ornament In the center of the back
OF the hand. and then the chains run along
through this jewel. which is set around
with large diamonds, something like a

The Merchantmen and the Pearl.

The kingdom of heaven is strictly business. It is significant that Christi s kingdom is not likened to warrior, or poet, or q philosopher, or slave, but to a business man. Gods saving man is not turning him into righteous ma chine, but developing him into right eous son. Jesus view of his work was as of business. At the start he said, 'I must be about my father business; .t the close, 1t is finished !" The ba. mana peddler handles personally his goods.

Fighting the ssoI,munds.

Private Lever of tho Bluffs tells two characteristics of the fight in which he was hit when General Jeffery, with the mountain battery and escort, was hemmed in village all night by thou. sands Of Mohmunds. The wounded were lying under 6 wall exposed to torrents of rain and to showers of stones which the enemy hurled down at them from houses near. 1t seemed impossible that any relieving force could come to their aid before daybreak O. that the mere handful of Bluffs could hold out much longer. Their ammunition was running short, Then Lever heard one wounded officer ask another, "How many shots have you got in your revolver?" "Only two. " linen don't waste them, old chap; keep one for me, the other for yourself. y
 When ammunition was so nearly ex- hausted that no orders were given to fire until tho enemy could be distinctly seen, sudden rattle of irregular fire was heard on one side of the village, followed by savage yells, but no other sound. The few Bluffs holding post ia that direction stood with rifles leveled ready to fire volleys directly Il rush was attempted.

Book Cover Designers.

One reason given for the success of women as designers of book covers is their quick appreciation of tho appropri- ateness of design and material for the context of the book to be covered. They do not, for instance, clothe the thoughts or Marcus Aurelius in pink and gold, although certain mystics believe pink to De the soul color. Nor do they believe that Democracy Trium phantn should wear dress of purple flags. It is the artistic consistency they manage in the completion of a dainty volume that makes their work popular. At the Phil adelphia School of Design the girls are given subject once a week-tne title Of some b9ok-for which cover is to be made. The most successful designers of the books named last week --"The Queens of England, '' "Kings and Queens of Scotland, y ''The Bonnie Brier Bush' and "Poems''-were made by Miss Theodora M Anderson, Miss Anna B. Kraus. Miss Mary $. Graid, Miss Marie A. Morton, Miss Eva Cham. bers, Miss Maud Mueller and Miss Edna V Free. The designs were made in the colors in which they would be repro duced, and one was drawn on the cloth which could be used, which is said to be a better way for insuring the exact repetition of design, as the binder may not always be able to match the color in the paper model.
 1t is said this industry has increased rapidly since Archibald Leighton in 1922 introduced the cloth binding prod. uet as now known.-New York Tribune.
