The Feast Of Dolls.

Every girl in Toxic, from the tiny
toddlers to the maids who think them
selves women, devote a whole gala
week to their dolls. The dolls are
beautiful. nicely modelled and clad
often in a quaint old court dress of ia
pan. And yet, whether the dolls or
their o~wners-little girls. maybe Of
seven. with their hair done up and
befiowered, and walking about in long.
Enthusiastically colored kimonos, with
pert airs and solemnly affected dignity
are the more entertaining, it would
be hard to say. The little dolls be-
longing to one little girl invite the lit
tie dolls belonging to another little girl
to a feast. and everything is conducted
with decorum and stateliness. Then
the invitation ome from the other
side. And all day long the little dolls
are being taken round to call on other
little dolls. For seven days this charm
ing Feast of Dolls lasts, tho most
eagerly looked forward to festival in
the Japanese calendar.-J. +. Fraser.

Give tho wife the same Power.

The Texas court of appeals. 1t Is
noted, has affirmed the right Of in
ferior courts to issue injunctions at
the request OF a husband forbidding
any third person to speak to. write
to, or in any way communicate with
his wife, whenever such act shall be
prejudicial to the applicant" The af-
frming decision Is sweeping and gen.
eral, and under 1t in Texas a husband
may enjoin not only the male object
OF his jealousy, but his mother-in-law
and "all his wife's relations" from
holding communication with her
whenever they may not approve OF his
conduct. Now. II some authority will
give the wife the power to enjoin
her husband against speaking to. writ
ing to. or in any way communicating
with third persons when such act shall
be unpleasant to the applicant, Texas
families will get on famously. and
there will be no more divorces there
than in South Carolina.-Charleston

Jesus's Folks.

Little Charlie s. was taking his first
railroad j~ourney-at least. the first he
could remember. He and his mamma
were going east. 1t was such a sultry
midsummer day that nearly all
the passengers had fallen into
a doze. Little Charlie wondered
how anybody could sleep when there
was SO much to be seen and talked
about. He wasn't sleepy, no. indeed!
His blue eyes were wide open to
catch everything going on. both inside
and outside the car. There were so
many things he wanted to know! At
that particular moment he wanted to
know IL the train had left P%ennsyIva-
MIA yet; II 1t were any nearer New
York. But his mamma, too. was asleep
and being a manly little fellow he would
not disturb her. 81 can't ask anything
he thought. "Everybody's asleep. I
DO wish something would happen so I
could talk" Presently something did
happen. The train slowed up. and the
porter called out. Bethlehem! Beth
lehem!" That didn't seem to arouse
anybody, not ever Charles mamma:
but Charlie was SO much excited that
he called out in his clear, high voice.
Mamma, mamma, you must wake up
now! Here's where Jesus folks live!"
When his mamma explained that this
Bethlehem was not. the Bethlehem
where the Christ child had lived. the
little fellow was greatly disappointed.
but the rest Of that afternoon the pas
sengers found pleasure in both enter
tanning and being entertained by the
w~ide-awake little boy.

pacity the friendship which the TWO
men entertained for each other waxed
stronger: In fact. they became almost
b%rotherly companions. Speaker Reed
Is said to be warmly In favor OF Mr..
Aliens election to congress from the
First district. and this fact, taken in
connection with Mr.. Aliens own in
d'vidual strength and popularity in the
district. seems to make his election
well-nigh sure. Speaking OF Mr.. AL
len, one OF the correspondents OF the
New York World says: HE Is quiet
and reserved in manner and has an
easy dignity at all times. In converse
ton his tone is low and soft, and his
remarks are TO the point. He uses the
simplest language and impresses one as
being a rapid thinker and a thorough
logician. On the platform, when he
Is portraying the merits OF his party.
his voice is strong and vibrant, and his
talk is punctuated by the dry wi. of
the old-time gentleman. To enjoy Mr..
Aliens company for eve an hour one
cannot avoid the impression that his
tastes are quiet n scholarly. He
has kept abreast Of the times and 1t
Is his recreation to sit In his coy little
library and read the latest books on
science and sociology. He bears the
weight Of years lightly and his step is
light and springy. He is at all times
CHEEKY and companionable. Mr.. Allen
has held all sorts OF public Offices
which have taken him all over the
country. but he never gave up his
Maine home. where he went to live
soon after he wa graduated from Bow
dom. He likes to tell now how he
was made selectman OF his native town
several years ago. Mr.. Allen was born
March II. 1887. in Waterloo, Me. He
earned his own way through college.
Mr.. Aliens three years Mt Dowdoin
were years OF hard work and good
times. His eyes sparkled the other day
when he said: 4 was always on hand
when there was fun going on Mr.. AL

gan in their irst college year together,
and they became unusually firm COL

RAINY Days.

Printing by magic" is great fun.
Take a mustard tin and half fill 1t with
boiling water. Add to this six thin sill
COS from a cake of soap and a teaspoon
ful OF turpentine. When cold It will be
a jelly. Now get some paper with pic
lures; paint a very little of this jelly
over the picture. spread a
clean sheet OF paper over II,
and then press 1t hard. Sepa-
rate the piece OF paper from the picture.
and o will find you have two pictures
instead OF one. Have you ever tried
coloring the pictures In periodicals or
papers or even advertisement pictures
with colored chalk. Ask mother IL she
VIII Civ you a penny to buy a box OF
chalks. and next wet day try 1t. and I
am sure you will agree with me that
1t Is a most delightful employment.
Then l wonder IL you know that It Is
possible to buy boxes OF modelling clay
red and grey are the nicest). With
this clay you can build all kinds OF
th~ings-ships, houses, animals. almost
Anything you like in fact. The clay
can be used again and again. and, as
l. is only just moist enough to mold
and not moist enough to be mussy.
there is no need to have a special room
In which to use 1t. The simplest plan
Is to spread newspapers over an ordi-
nary dining table. This clay can be
gotten from toy shops. either by the
pound or box. Another game Is my
house." For this you want some .ad-
vertisement pages containing illustra-
lions Of chairs. tables and an article
that would be used in furnishing a
house. Vases. clocks and things Of
that kind all come in. Cut all these
things out, and then either arrange
them on n table or stick them into a
scrap book till all the house is furnish
ed-the dining room with It's tables
and chairs, the kitchen with Its pots
and pans, and so on.

most common In man Is %unevenDess OF
the shoulders. One shoulder Is higher
than the other, and this Is a defect
often encountered, though the differ-

as to be noticeable, except by n ac-

the appearance OF symmetry. Some
times, and this Is commonly done In
cases Of more pronounced difference.
symmetry is attained by the familiar
method OF building up or padding the
lower shoulder. The influence OF the
lower shoulder extends down on that
side OF the body, so that sometimes 1t
is necessary below the arm to cut that
side OF the oat shorter. Next to I'M

takes up the trousers more and thus

would be a common thing IL men were
seen with their waistcoats Off. to find
suspenders set at uneven heights. The
variation In the %suspenders might be
required. to be sure, by a difference In
the shoulders. and not In the legs. 1t
Is common to find mems arms of Differ

slight as to require no special atten-

1t is frequently Necessary to make the

fact appears to be that there are not
many perfect men, that Is. men OF per-
feet harmony OF development and per-

respect man is like all things else In
nature. like horses. for instance. and
trees; but In the greater number OF
men these defects are within such lin

variations rather than as substantial
defects.

Now Use for Electricity,

Some time & the statement was

cay could he checked by the applica-
ton of electricity to the base OF the
brain. Now n French scientist. DR..
Remond. has made the discovery that
electricity may be used in the devel-

not. Of course. mean that there is
now a royal road to learning, and that
all the learning OF Greece and Rome
can be transferred into any skull by
30 many volts of electricity. But 1t
means. according to DIR, Remond's
claims. that the receptiyity OF the
brain a be SO increased and the
capacity for learning extended. The
volts do not take instantaneous ef-
feet: the curse must be prolonged.

The Hawaiian islands are an exam

1866 that the islands first touched an
interest OF 81, 900. 900 in our import
trade, chiefly through the whale-fsh-
cries, as they made n convenient stop
ping place for American whalers. The
interest was not doubled until the reel
procity treaty went into effect OS77),
and sugar became the great article Of
commerce. with rice as the second in
Importance, but representing only one
tenth the value OF the sugar. The
granting OF free entry into the United
States for these two products was
equivalent to RENTING to the Ha-
waiian planters the sur OF 81, 900, 900

a bounty on production. 1t was ma

soon appreciated. and the energies OF
the islands we're directed into laying
out plantations OF sugar and rice. AS
rice proved OF uncertain profit tn e
cultivation for export has not pros

ton increased through the influx Of
Asiatics. The exports OF this grain
