proof spirits into a vessel containing

TYPICAL JAPANESE BEAUTY.
Sir Edwin Arnold's wife Gaining In
Social Popularity.

Social Popularity.
Born in a land where families meas.
ure their antiquity by the thousand
years, the wife OF Sir Edwin Arnold
was even there regarded as one who
could point to an unusually long line
OF ancestry When she first arrived
with her husband in England society
was rather inclined to regard her with
disfavor, but insular prejudice is slow
ly giving way, and Lady Arnold Is
steadily gaining In popularity. Her
family name is Kurokawa Tama, which
means Jewel of the dark river" and
she was born at Sendai, Japan, nearly
thirty years ago. Her dainty little
ladyship is a typical Japanese beauty,
10 whom her noted husband is de-
votedly attached. In the privacy OF her
own household she wears the kimona
and the other graceful articles OF at
tire peculiar to her native land, but on
her public appearances or when enter
tanning guests she appears in conven-
tlonal costume. Lady Arnold has the
distinction of being the only Japanese
woman who bears an English title. Sir
Edwin Arnold, who is knight COM
mander of the Order of the Indian En-
pire, passed the greater part OF his life
in the civil service in India. After
his official career was completed he
spent some years in visiting the less
known countries of the east. He tarri9d
in Japan, which had not then acquired
its great popularity as a happy hunting
ground for travellers or its political
Importance. Sir Edwin was largely re-
sponsible for familiarizing the people
OF England and America with "The
Land of the Rising Sun" To him in a
great measure we owe Japanese furni-
lure and japanese vocations. He wrote
the most sympathetic and enthusiastic
descriptions Of Japanese beauty that
have ever appeared in English No
woman, he said, surpassed the Jap
lnese for loveliness, gentleness and all
truly feminine qualities. His friends
IN England generally took these utter
dnces 10 be merely those Of an enthu-
siastic traveller gifted with an exceed
ingly poetic temperament, but when il
vas announced that Sir Edwin intended
70 wed a japanese bride it was seen
that he had deeper reasons for his
enthusiasm than had hitherto been sus-
.iected. Vigorous protest was made by
nearly all members OF his family, and
1T one time it was reported that the
marriage was off, but the poet stood
iirm and married his japanese beauty
Several of the most beautiful short
poems written by Sir Edwin are de-
scriptive of the sweet, delicate charms
Of his girlish bride, for she appears to
be but delicate flower

In January of the present year Mr..
Hooley purchased the racing cutter

Prince of Wales, from John Lawson

schooner Verena from the Earls of
Lonsdale. He is a member of a num-

Liquid
Air
In War

Charles E. Tripler tells in the June
cry Of liquid air. From this We quote
the following excerpts:
Liquid air is simply air such as we
breathe, from which most OF the heat.
originally derived from the sun, has
been extracted. This ! am now able
TO effect very easily and cseaply by me-
chanical means. AS a result, some IF
teen minutes after the process IL start
ed, clear frosty looking liquid begins
TO pour down from a tube about an inch
In diameter, and speedily fills the re-
ceptacle placed beneath to receive It.
This rate of production can be main
tanned all day If desired. Each cubic
foot OF liquid represents nearly eight
hundred cubic feet OF ordinary air. and
IN its expansion as II returns to its gas
eous state lies q power OF the highest
efficiency, easy to control, ready to be
harnessed and utilized. Its tempera-
ture is about three hundred and twelve
degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.

It boils vigorously, absorbing a portion
of the heat around it, and at the end OF
half an hour has completely disappear

air around us, from which it differs on

meanwhile, has become thickly coated
with frost. If, however, the liquid be

appearance OF pure water, except that
it shows pale-blue tint, which inten-

could have written the song and Maj.
Byers was soldier boy when he wrote
| 1t. He was a very young volunteer SOL
der in the Fifth Iowa infantry, and
Lis home was in Oskaloosa, Ia His
regiment marched forth one thousand
strong and half of them fell on the
battlefield. Eighty of the Fifth Iowa
were captured in the battle of Mission
airy Ridge, and Mr. Byers was among
this number Of unfortunates. They
were moved hither and thither from
prison to prison. and finally marched
TO spot near Columbia in South Caro-
lima. few weeks later they were
moved into the town of Columbia ami
placed in the yard of an asylum sur
rounded by a high brick wall. Little
of all that was going forward in the
great outside world ever reached the
prisoners, but they found out that
Sherman was on the move and carry
ing everything before him. They
learned that he had taken Savannah
and courage and hope came to them
in their dreary and desolate surround
ings.
Lone night" says Maj. Byers, while
pacing up and down and cogitating on
the wonderful success of Sherman's
campaign, wondered what they would
call IT, 1t was not battle only, re-
fected, but march as well-and a
march to the sea. Instantly the thought
struck me of a song
While walking about in the dark
ness for warmth, Maj Byers partly
composed the song and finished it the
next day. He showed 1t TO several of
his fellow-prisoners and one Of them,
Lieut.. Rockwell set the song to music.
There was a glee club among the pris-
oners and they sang songs, hope songs
and songs of courage, on the steps of an
old building in the prison yeard, and
from these steps in that prison and by
that prison glee club "Sherman's
March to the Sea- was sung for the
first time. From that time forth it was
sung daily, and its author had new
place in the hearts of his fellow-pris-
oners.
A prisoner known as shorty" but
who was really Lieut. Tower. was sent
through the lines North. He had
hollow wooden leg, and the new Sher-
man song went to Sherman's army in
that wooden leg. The army took up
the song with great enthusiasm, and so
1t went forth from campfire to fireside.
Later on its author escaped to the
North to find himself famous as the
writer Of the most popular song of the
day. Hundreds and thousands of con-
les OF the song were sold, but as 1t was
not copyrighted Mr.. Byers derived no
financial benefit from It, However, II
won him a place of honor among the
song writers of the day, and It also
won him the warm friendship of Gen.
Sherman, who included the song In his
memoirs.
When the war was over Mai. Byers
was appointed to a consulship in Swift
erland, where he remained for many
years. He has also been the American
consul to Rome, but is now a resident
Of Des Moines, Ia. where in his beau
tiful home, st. Helens, he has lately
written a new song, the Song OF
Iowa which school children all over
The state are singing as their fathers
and grandfathers sang in the spirit OF
loyalty TO home and God and native
lane "Sherman's March to the Sea-"

but not enough to feel cold, says a
writer in the Womans Home Compan-
ion. Bathers should enter the water
when the body is at glow, not when it,
is in active or violent perspiration.
Never enter the water with headache:
never do so with full stomach Moth
ing can be more dangerous to the sys-
tenn than to contravene these rules,
and many have lost their lives by neg
lecting them. No one should enter the
water Immediately after dinner; none
who wish to avoid the swimmers bug
bear, cramps, should enter 1t when suf-
fering from acidity Of the stomach. The
best time for bathing is either before
breakfast or between IL and IL o'clock
in the forenoon. All who suffer from
delicate constitutions should avoid
bathing in the early morning.
