The GeiSlAa.

"Gesha." the professional girl en-.
tertainer of Japan, is by no means to
be confounded with ''geinin," says
Japan and America. The word geisha
really means actor, "gei" meaning a
play or entertainment Of any sort, and
''sha" means a person. For instance.
i-sha means physician, and so on: The
word really means what actor does
in English. but it has come to mean
only those girls in Japan who are
trained to entertain by dancing and
singing to the shamisen and koto, the
usual musical instruments for light en-
tertainments, and they also are trained
to converse agreeably on topics of the
day. "Geinin," on the other hand.
while it really means the same thing
as geisha, has now come to be applied
to artists, in higher sense. .....

a Pltcn Lake,

Trinidad. an island In the south At
lantic opposite the mouth of the Ori-
noco, is famous for it's pitch. There
are districts where there is pitch ev-
erywhere. The beach is pitch, and so
are the rocks some of which have
been carried off to supply Paris and
New York with tar pavements. At La
Brea pineapples grow to perfection in
a brown soil which is half pitch. But
the wonder Of the isle is the pitch lake
a mile and half in circumference
AS it lies glittering in the sun it looks
like vast bed of monstrous mush-
rooms. all black and of all kinds of
shape and size, some measuring as
much as fifty feet across. The space
between these unlovely objects is filled
with oily water. In parts of the lake
the pitch is quite liquid, and the ground
all round is full Of pitch and coaly
stuff to q depth of hundreds of feet

A QUEER PICTURE THING.
The Way One Art Treasure Was Res
cued From Oblivion.

The Way One Art Treasure Was Res
cued From oblivion.
Few chapters in the worlds history
are more curious and interesting thar
that which deals with the fortunes OF
its art treasures. In the cathedral at
Montreal IS, or was few years ago,
large piece of tapestry which had
been discovered in a back street of
New England town. The story is told
in Mrs. Silsbee's "Half Century Of
Salem.'
One day certain Mr.. Miller passing
through Derby street saw a woman
beating clouds of dust from carpet,
Something peculiar in it's appearance
made him stop and look closely at it,
when he discovered, to his astonish-
ment, that it was a splendid piece of
tapestry, with life sized figures
wrought from Raphaels cartoon,
Feed My lambs"
The woman was quite willing to
tell how she obtained it. 1t was, in
fact. standing grievance to her. Her
husband was a, sailor, and when he
WGuL Out Ola one vi lllS NOSnSCS SAC
had begged him to bring her a carpet
for her best room. AS it happened, he
did not visit port where he could
buy carpet, but rolled up in little
shop on the quay at Malta he had
found the tapestry and purchased it,
thinking it might answer the purpose.
1t was too large for the room, and the
woman had to turn big piece under.
She folded the piece back, revealing
part of the superb border of fruit and
flowers, wrought in silk and gold
thread. as fresh as when it was first
worked. But the owner eyed it with
contempt. She never did like the
queer picture thing. she declared.
1t was the opportunity of lifetime.
Mr.. Miller promptly offered her the
choice Of any carpet in the stores in
exchange for her queer picture
thing" and the woman as promptly
accepted the offer. They went down
town together. and she selected, with
unbounded delight, hideous pattern
of glowing reds and greens. Her face
was full of triumph when she re-
turned The best room at last was tC
have carpet that was a carpet!
1t is safe to say that no bargain ever
gave more complete satisfaction tc
both parties than the one made that
morning in Derby street, Salem.

prnfesaiOnnl Pride.

Newspaper men. from great editors
down to rural correspondents. are
proud of their profession, although not
all sit as secure as John Black, for
many years the chief of the London
Chronicle.
Black supported the Melbourne ad-
ministration in his paper, yet he never
asked a favor of any of the ministers.
On one occasion Lord Melbourne said
to him:
"You are the only man In England
who forgets that am prime minister.
''How SO, my lordT" inquired Black,
supposing that he had been inadver-
tently disrespectful.
"Becal,se." replied Melbourne, "you
are the only man l know who never
asks a favor of me-"
II have no favor to ask" said Black
quietly ~ have no favor to ask any
one in the world, You are prime min
lister of England, but l am editor OF

man in England-not even, my lord

EXTRA LIMITED.

A Chinese marriage Is all ceremony
no talk, no leyity and much crying.
The solemnity of a funeral prevails
After the exchange of presents the
bride is dressed with much care in o
red gown. brocade or silk, if she can
get it; her eyelashes are painted deep
black, and she wears heavy red veil
attached to a scarlet headdress, from
which initiation pearls are pendent
over the forehead. A feast is spread
upon table, to which the blushing
bride is led by five Of her best female
friends. They are seated at the table,
but no one eats. The utmost silence
prevails. when, finally, the mother leads
off in cry, the maids follow and the
bride echoes in, the chorus Then all
the bridesmaids leave the table and
the disconsolate mother takes a seat
beside the chair Of state where the
bride sits. The bridegroom now enters,
with four of his best men. The men
pick up the throne on which the bride
sits, and. preceded by the bridegroom,
form in procession and walk around
the room or into an adjoining parlor,
signifying that he is carrying her away
to his own, home. The guests then
throw rice at the happy couple. Gus

rne Lack of Reserve.

''EIe had no reserve" How often we
hear this expression on change or in
the street when firm has failed or
when a business man has been pushed
to the wall. 1t would make fitting
cpitaph for the grave of many fail
ure. A man without reserve is like
condemned. leaky vessel. On calm
day it can be towed from port to port.
but it would be utterly helpless in a
storm.
Many fail from lack of reserve of
education. of early training. of solid.
ingrained habit Others fail from lack
of reserve of savings. of capital. Many
have gone down from the lack of char
acter reserve. of health reserve, of
friendship reserve. 1t pays to store up
reserve of every kind. to be prepared
for every emergency. Too exhausting
effort, too extrayagant expenditure. too
reckless daring or too much reliance
on unknown factors leaves no margin
or reserve so that slip would mean
a certain fall.--Success. f AS

Any citizen of Arizona who talks
now OF amending the Omnibus State
hood bill might as well wear a label
reading, 81 aA an enemy of State
hood. ."-Phoenix Republican.
True as gospel. There is no neces-
sity for amending the bill. It provid-
es all that the people desire. 1t viii
enable the people to make their own
organic law, and to assume the respon-
sibility of their own government.
There is nothing the matter with the
Omnibus bill. To suggest it's amend
ment in the Senate is to invite its ul-
timatse defeat. 1t could be juggled
with in conference. 1t would lose its
place as a. privileged question. II
would imperil it's passage. No friend
of Statehood possessed of intelligence
will recommend tampering with the
Omnibus bill.

A scotch superstition.

'Tn recent visit | paid to friends
abroad came across superstition
that was new to me-" said traveller
the other day. "One day at dinner
somebody hit a glass, which began the
ringing, jingling noise that is familiar
when glassware is struck, and imme-
diately another guest covered the piece
with his hands so as to muffie the
sound Dyery one present said. That's
right; stop the ringing found out
ON inquiring that when one causes this
ringing of a glass piece to cease 1t
saves a human life from drowning.
How the notion originated ! can't ex-
plain. but these people speak of We're
intelligent and not generally given to
cherishing absurd notisns. 1t is said
to be Scotch superstition, but none
of my friends could throw light on it's
origin"

A GREAT WORRY CURE.
Common Sense Is the Best Remedy
That Cam BE Prescribed.

Common Sense Is the Best Remedy
That Cam BE Prescribed.
/ once asked physician what cure
he could suggest for the worrying hab-
it. 81 would prescribe common sense"
he said, land if a man or woman
hasn't got a stock on hand and cannot
cultivate one the Aedical man is pow
erless." This worrying nonsense grows.
The best means to cure it lies in the
hands of the woman herself.
If she will just call a little horse
sense to her aid, resolve not to borrow
trouble, to be cheerful and think upon
the right side of things, she will live
longer and be able to retain her beauty.
Every woman has the strongest desire
to keep her good looks Why, then.
does she take the course which is sure
to make her yellow skinned, dull eyed
and thoroughly unlovely?
The Englishwoman is greatly ad-
mired for her utter refusal to worry or
to be worried. Consequently she looks
young at fifty. Undertaking no more
than she can comfortably carry out
and firmly believing in the coming of
another day, she does not procrasti-
nate, but simply will not let the domes-
tic machinery grind her down to i'll
health and an early old age.
She is frequent bather and regards
health as the prime factor Of life. to be
looked after before everything else.
She sleeps nine hours and also takes a
nap during the day, arranging her
work in the most systematic manner.
Her little memorandum slip always
shows two vacant hours-they are for
rest. She eats heartily, but of the most
| digestible food, and would rather have
mouthful of good food and go partly
hungry than eat a whole meal of
cheaper things.-Philadelphia Inquirer

car that leaves Los Angeles
and swiftly whirls it's patrons to the
cool summit of Mt. Lowe. Thus the
patron gets cool and refreshing ride
and at the farthest end has a chance
to juggle his mind out of it's rut of
care But it not infrequently hap
pens that the suburban resort is al
most as warm as the city, and the
physical refreshment he has obtained
from a rapid journey OVER country
roads is lost when he alights for the
mind-diverting treat of the evenings
program. Why, then, not combine
the two ideals by having vaudeville or
concert trains, or indeed trains with
dancing cars which shall make a cer-
tain circuit through the rural districts
and home again, giving their passen-
gers in transit all the pleasure now
prepared for them at the end of the
line, so that they can submit them
selves to the cooling and the diver
sion processes both in one?

THE sPEHkERsHIP CONTEST.

Although the Fifty-eighth Congress
does not meet until December, 1903,
unless the President should call an
extra session, the race for the Speaker
ship has been fully inaugurated. The
Republican majority in the new
House will be about twenty-five, and
the Democrats, therefore, will be mere
spectators of the contest.
Mr.. Joseph G.. Cannon Of Illinois Is
easily the leader in the race at this
time. He is veteran member, blunt,
plainspoken and honest. He was born
In North Carolina in 1886, and was
ELECTED to the Forty-third Congress and
has had a seat in every subsequent
Congress except the Fffty-second. So
popular Is he that he stands against
the field, and if the field can not break
his strength, he will be nominated by
acclamation. He stands neither for
tariff revision nor distinctly against it,
inclining, however, to the "stand pat
position.
The candidate of the sacred tarir
crowd is John DalzeH of Pennsylva-
mia, and the candidate OF the tar1H
reyisionists seems to be Mr.. Babcock
OF Wisconsin, who has been the chair
man of the Republican Congressional
committee during several campaigns.
Mr.. Littlefeld of Maine is said to be
the favorire candidate of the admin
iskration, but he has not been in the
House long enough to make it probable
that he will be able TO capture the
chief honor of the body. Occasionally
the names of Burton of Ohio, Hepburn
Of Iowa and Sherman of New York are
mentioned, but it seems probable now
that the next Speaker will either be
Cannon, Dalzell or Babcock. Cam
mons chances seem the best, and his
long and faithful service fairly entitle
him TO the honor.
The battle win probably hinge on the
tariff, The extreme high tariff fac
tion and benehciaries will endeavor to
nominate Dalzell, but 1t Is believed
they will be beaten, and that the some
what neutral member from Illinois viii
become Speaker of the House. He is
neutral as to tariff revision only. He
stands between Dal2ell and Babcock
but nearer the former although he has
said that the Dingley schedules were
not altogether sacred.
OF the three leading candidates, there
is no doubt that Dalssll is the man OF
best ability. Cannon is the best quail
flied for the Speakership, and would be
the safest man in the chair. Babcocl
has no qualifications for the place
of presiding officer. He is rich, dull
man, who has been compelled to EN-.
brace the tariff views of his Wisconsin
constituents in order to retain his seal
in Congress. 81
It can be said of Cannon, as of Ton
Reed, that he is strictly honest. HI
takes the Democratic view of econom,
in public expenditures He enjoys
the confidence of the House and tn
respect of all honest men with whom
he has, been associated. His advocac.
of economy may have tendency t
inj0re him with the Republican ma
jority, but his personal popularity ant
the feeling that his long service en-
title him to the distinction may com
bine to elevate him to the Chair.
