A FAMOUS PAINTING.

One Figure In n Japanese Picture
Visible Only at Night.
Some of the finest Japanese paint
ings in Washington are In the legation
building of that nation, the japanese
ambassador being collector and con-
noisseur Of the art Of his native land.
The japanese style Of painting Is alto.
gether unlike that Of Europe and
America, and the reason japanese
painters are able to produce color eff
fects that are the despair Of Euro
pean and American artists Is owing to
the pigments they use, a large number
of which are secret and unknown out
side of Japan.
In Japan there is very famous
painting which no amount OF money
could buy and which Is the master
piece of a famous artist who lived
several centuries ago. Viewing the
painting in the daytime, one Is disap-
pointed. It shows nothing more than
a very commonplace landscape, unre-
heyed by mountains or hills. AS soon,
however, as night falls one begins to
realize the peculiar merit Of the pic
ture, for upon the canvas there ap-
pears luminous water buffalo (cari-
bou) browsing upon the grass at its
feet.
The artist who painted this picture
discovered certain phosphorescent
paint, which be obtained from the bod
les Of certain mollusks, or fish. and
with which he painted the buffalo that,
invisible in daylight. Is luminously
brilliant in the dark. The secret OF
making this paint died with the artist.
The picture. which hangs in q Bud
dhist temple. has proved a fertile source
of superstition. the priests claiming that
the buffalo hides away in the shade
behind some trees in the picture dur.
ing the heat Of the day. coming out at
night to Washington Post.

The EuIlLlIY oE WORRY

Worry is a habit, like biting the finger.
nails, turning in the toes, or talking
slang. 1t comes in time to be not only
a habit, but sinful indulgence, almost
as hurtful to peace of mind as Overeat-
ing, or violent temper, or scandal and
tale-bearing.
The mind readily falls victim to bad
mental habits. To make much of small
things is to belittle life. To magnify
and give Importance to little evils is to
distort out of all reality the actual
things worth living for. When the
peace of whole family is upset because
the breakfast coffee is cold or some one
has mislaid the morning paper things
have lost due proportion. The effect is
simply ludicrous to the unimpassioned
looker-on. To those embroiled in the
jars and jangles there is only sort of
helpless misery, which is anything but
subject for smiles.
To be happy one should look at the
evils and worries of life as If from the
large end of an opera-glass, thus dimin-
ishing them; while Tor pleasant things
the small end of the glass should be held
to the eyes, so magnifying what is en-
jOyable.-WOman's Home Companion.

PACKING A PICNIC DINNER.

Whether the outing be for a day or a
month, the lunch is of the most i'm
portance, and the question is, GLOW can
it be taken the easiest?" In basket
which must be brought back, or in
boxes, which can be thrown away. OF
course, the basket looks the better, and
it is the proper thing if some one is
willing to shoulder the burden, and for
this purpose there are the most attract
i've ones imaginable for sale in the shops.
However, if it is to be railroad lunch,
the box idea is recommended. A big
pastebOard one-the kind ones dresses
come home in-may be filled with in
Vulnerable small boxes and jars. Tin
cracker-boxes for all kinds of moist
things-such as chicken, beef or ham
cut in slices-small baking-powder and
spice boxes, or the little tin half-pound
boxes druggists use, may be used for
mayOnnaise dressing, sandwich-fillings,
soft cheese mixtures, sweet pickles, mar
malades and jellies; even butter is better
carried in a box, to be spread with a sill
yer knife when needed. Small paste
board boxes will do for bread and cake
and even pie. Of course, all these boxes
must be lined with paraffin paper, their
covers neatly tied on and labeled, 80
that the unpacker will not serve dessert
first.-Woman's Home Companion.

HE ASKED TOO MUCH.

The waiter accidentally pushed the
elbow Of the man eating breakfast in
the restaurant. The morsel that he was
about to consume fell to the ground.
The next minute he gave startled
cry and turned deadly pale. All was
confusion. The proprietor and the oc-
cupants of the other tables jumped up
and rushed to his assistance.
His face had assumed blush hue,
which was quickly followed by green
ish color, and then y ba purplish tinge.
The case looked serious, for he was
evidently an apoplectic. Finally, to the
relief of all, he was resuscitated. All
demanded an explanation.
81 am subject to heart disease" he
at length exclaimed, land any severe
shock Is likely to kill me. It's won.
der I'm alive to tell the tale"
"What talep" they asked eagerly.
"Gracious, gentlemen" he replied,
as his cheeks blanched at the recollec.
ton, you'll hardly believe me, but de.
clare on my honor that when the waiter
knocked that piece of bread and butter
out of my hand it fell to the ground
with the buttered side up!'
The others surveyed him pityingly
Something has affected his brain, y
they whispered one to the other. "Such
thing is unheard of. 1t could never
have happened"
One by one they drew away and left
him alone.

ost Math ematics, but . Matter Of
Creative Imagination.
1.-THE idea of business in q country
that has reached the height Of its de-
velopment Is dry as dust affair" says
Hutchins Hapgood in Ainslee's. ut Is
the miserable system Of keeping what
one has, a system in which the temper
ament and the Imagination do not play
a part. The American, however, puts
imagination into business. Business Is
the art of this country. To the Ameri-
can of affairs there are in his work ex.
element, charm and color. To him 1t is
not q matter of mathematics, but Of
the creative imagination. Great proc
esses. great inventions, great corpora
tions-the organization Of such things
requires genius.
Nobody Is stupider, more avarlcious
and more economical in small way
than a French peasant or German
hausfrau. Nobody Is less avaricious
and more economical in big way than
a great American inventor. flnancier
or business man. Through his brains
production becomes cheaper and conse.
Quently more abundant, and more good
to the common people thereby accrues
than by all the small savings ever made
since civilization began. 1t is better to
be able to make than to save, and to
make much large outlay in money.
energy and brains is necessary. To
save pennies is a sign Of commercial
incompetence and national decline.
when an individual or nation be.
gins n system of housekeeping on
small scale. it Is sign that the life
blood is ebbinS. Old people, drier and
less resourceful than young people. are
VIGOROUSLY more economical. They. like
old nations. want to hang on to what
they have rather than strive for more.
The wisdom of the French peasant
consists in keeping down his expendi'
ture and the size Of his family to
point where the nation as whole Is
weakened. AS Bacon said. He that
hath a state to repair may not despise
email things and perhaps the decay of
the country is the cause rather than
the effect of French economy. Anyway
the two things hang closely together"

THAT HOUSEKEEPING" MONEY.

THAT HOUSEKEEPING" MONEY.
The much-discussed question of the
wife's allowance, or the housekeeping
money!" might readily find solution in
the old saying, "Place confidence in a
woman's ability to act, and she will re-
pay it; doubt her executive powers-re-
fuse her responsibility-and you may
rue it."
If every man would pay his wife a
weekly sum for the housekeeping ex-
penses, clothing, ETC., he would find that
in nine cases out Of ten her management
of the fund would increase not only his
comfort, but that of the whole house.
If she is equal to the task of being a
wife and mother, he is also equal to the
task of supplying and paying for the
daily necessities of the home.
If she is head manager of the house
keeping department she will take pride
and pleasure in making dollar 60 a
great way, much further than a man
could make two dollars 60, when ex-
pended for household uses.
She will make calculations about the
expenditure of the weekly sum, and lay
by a certain amount toward buying GER
tain supplies in quantities.
She will systematic her affairs, and
take pride in her well-kept accounts
and the very fact that the expenditure
of money belongs to her will sweeten her
life, give zest to her occupations, and
make her more contented in her home
life.-McCall's Magazine.

One Of the queerest sharks is the
thrasher. which has the upper lobe OF
its tail so much developed US to equal
In length the body Of the fish itself.
This tail Is controlled by powerful
muscles and is used as weapon.
Swordfsh and thrasher sharks have
been seen on many occasions to attack
whales in concert and kill them, the
sharks lushlns their victims with their
tails while the swordfsh pierce them

themselves are often killed by por-

POISONING THE SYSTEM.

1t is through the bowels that the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipation
keeps the poisons in the system, caus-
ing headache, dullness and melancholia
at first, then unsightly eruptions and
finally serious illness unless remedy is
applied. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
prevent this trouble by stimulating the
liver and promote easy, healthy action
of the bowels. These little pills do not
act violently but by Strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work. Never grippe or distress.
