Japanese Railway Cars.

In cold weather, all Japanese travel
ers carry rugs, for the cars are heated
merely by long steel cylinders filed
with hot water and laid on the floor
Spreading his rug out on the seat-a
Japanese never sits on anything not
perfectly clean-the passenger shakes
off his geta, or wooden clogs and curls
his feet beneath him.
The next move is smoke, in which
both men and women indulge A tiny
pipe is commonly used, which never
contains more than a wisp of tobacco
the size of a pea, and affords not more
than one or two puffs to the smoker
The ashes are then knocked out on the
floor and another wisp stuffed in and
lighted from the smoldering ashes just
rejected.
At every station there are vendors Of
the little mandarin oranges. Every
passenger buys q dozen or more, and
eats them in short time, throwing the
skins about the floor Boys pass by
with tea in tiny earthen pots, a cup
placed over the top. The price is three
sen "a cent and half. The teapot is
left in the car
The japanese throw all sorts of re-
fuse about and the car soon presents a
very untidy appearance, or would do
so if il We're not for the porters, who
come in at odd stations and clean up.

is SANTA TERESA A WlTCHq
Peculiar Gift of a Girl that Troubles
the Mexican Government.

Peculiar Gift of Girl that Troubles
the Mexican Government.
Sonora Teresa Urrea Rodriguez,
known to the world as Santa Teresa"
the title lovingly conferred upon her by
the Yaqui Indians, has gone to Europe,
perhaps only to make the grand tour"
or perhaps to try in secret her alleged
healing powers on some alling member
of old-world royalty.
For a decade now the fame of this
dark-eyed young woman Us healer
of physical ills has spread from far
away Mexico, the land of her nativity,
northward and into and over the Uni
ted States.
She has been twice banished from
Mexico because, in the view of the au-
thorities of that country, the Yaqui In
dams have offered her an awe and af-
lection amounting to idOlatry and cauS
ing them to riot and disturb the peace.
After leaving Mexico she resided in
Arizona; then III San Francisco and
other places on the Pacific coast, and
last in st. Louis. In all of these places
she is reputed to have made some Won
derful cures. Her method is a simple
one, consisting of the laying on of
hands, but there is mystery surround
ing it, because very few of her patients
among the fashionable people she has
treated are willing to make the results
public, or even to let it be known that
they have applied to her. She herself
is very silent and secretiye, using gen.
orally an Indian interpreter in her deal
ings, but it is believed that she has
been called to Europe in what might
be called a professional way.
Santa Teresa is the daughter of a
Mexican and an Indian woman. She is
% years old, not pretty, but of a COM
handing presence. She says her first
realization Of her powers OF healing
came to her IN trance. She denies
that she ever melted her Indian wor-
shippers to go on the warpath, and it
does appear that wheE ordered to leave
them She always Went quietly. Once,
however, her going caused the Indians
to rise against the authorities, and she
was requested by the authorities to re-
turn. Then. when she came back and
the trouble subsidized, she was asked to
leave quietly, which she did

1t is great comfort for hogs and
may be made most useful to rid Them
of lice and scaly skin if put up as
follows: Drive a stout stick three
inches in diameter in a suitable place,
leaving twenty inches above ground:
staple a rope four inches from earth's
surface to the stake and coil it closely
till it reaches three inches from the top
of the stake; staple it tightly. Pour
coal oil or crude petroleum on it until
it is well saturated with it, and the
hogs or shoats will fight for the first
and last rub on it. Pour more oil on
occasionally as needed. This viii kill
all lice. and nits and remove scales that
are so unsightly upon the hogs. 1t has
been tried and works well.-Twentieth

themselves they would probably wear
away and disappear within the next ten
or fifteen thousand years, but industrial

Trees Instead of Seeds.


The Department of Agriculture next
year will vary the garden seed distri-
button with several packages of trees.
Authority for this new departure was
secured at a recent session of Congress
and an appropriation was made in the
budget for the coming year. The people
of this country have been cutting down
the natural forests with so much reck-
lessness that it has become necessary
to start artificial ones. The division of
forestry of the Agricultural Depart
ment has made a survey of the coun-
try and has ascertained the particular
trees which thrive best and are most
useful in each locality. According to
the program for the distribution of
trees, next year a given number of
seedlings will be allotted to each mem
Der of the House of Representatives
who will be asked to furnish list of
constituents to whom he would like to
have them sent. The Agricultural De-
partment will do the rest. The seed
lings will be grown in the propagating
houses and forwarded to their destina-
ton, with specific instructions as to
how they should be planted and cared
for. In this way Secretary Wilson ex-
poets to start several million new trees
growing throughout this country every

Uncle David did not doubt Johns good
intent to keep his word about staying at
home that evening. Nevertheless, he said
TO himseIf:
Human nature is weak, and the temp
tation of love is strong | had better
stroll over there after supper and keep
an eye on John for awhile"
That was, perhaps, all we'll enough; but
why should Uncle EXTRAORDINARY so
careless about his personal appearance
have taken so much trouble in combing
and brushing his hair and beard, chang
ing his coat for a better one and putting
on a smart necktie? He would hardly
have done so much by way of preparation
for attending a meeting of the elders or
of the board of supervisors.
John and his mother were still sitting
in the door, when he put in an appear
ance before them. and at the farther end
of the porch, in front Of the new extern
