The Kneading Ball.
In one essential respect the japanese
I however, differ from the massturs Of any
other country. They employ a special in
strument in connection with massage for
physical well-being merely. and not for
and curative effect Nothing could be sim
pier than this instrument. Yet there is not
a factory or mechanical shop in the United
states that could produce or even dupli-
cate, one of them. The method followed
In the making Of this instrument is a secret
not as yet disclosed to the western world,
and 1t battles description.
1t is a rotating bail kneader. consisting
OF two pieces Of hard, polished cherry wood.
The ball revOlYes freely in a retainer,
gripping it with a two-point contact race
so that about one-third Of the ball pro-
rudes from the retainer, which is shaped
In way permitting Of handy manipulation
and an easy fit into the palm. The circular
hole through which the ball projects is
considerably smaller than the diameter OF
the ball itself; and as the retainer is made
Of single piece Of wood the question
arises: How was the ball put into the re-
tainer? IL we suppose that the entire In
strument was made from a single block
We are at loss to know how the ball
could be given its perfectly round, smooth
shape, being cut out inside the retainer.
One theory is unlikely as the other and
no matter how we try to solve the puzzle
We are at a loss to know in what manner
the ball was put in; or, IL II was not put
in. how it could possibly be shaped and
turned.
Mode of Application.
To further battle the interested spectator
the retainer will be found to have an in
cision mark directly in the center and that
this is inflicted by a sharp steel instru-
ment there can be no doubt-but how IL
the ball was in the way? And If II was out
Of the way, how could 1t be placed within
the retainer when the aperture is much too
small to admit it?
The operator takes the kneading ball in
the palm of his left hand. placing the right
hand transversely over IL for a guide. and
then proceeds to rub each separate muscle
with a long, easy stroke, releasing his
pressure of the ball to suit the muscle
formation, SO that the effect obtained is
very pleasant and, at the same time, eN-
ceedingly invigorating. No ointment is used
with the kneading ball treatment. There is
no friction, except by contact, to be over
come, as there is in the wearing strain OF
the rubbing process
The ball passes over the muscles with a
smooth and comfortable sensation. In the
hands Of an expert, quite remarkable re-
suits have been obtained in the way OF re-
storing cOnValescent patients into a state
of health quite beyond their normal stand
ard.
1t is not at all impossible that in this
kneadng ball, which has been in use for
certainly more than 2.OoJ years, have
the first, pristine applicati of the ball
bearing principle Were steel balls inserted
in the race of the retainer the device would
be almost similar to the bail-be airing Amer
lean caster now on the market. The Jap
anese make kneading balls by the thousand
and make profit at the retail price Of 2z
cents apiece.

coming in again. OF course, there will be
notifications, so that by no possibility can
a lingering garment that went out Of fash

half a dozen years ago be used over

appeared have both top and bottom laid in

An American friend who went to the
United States in May tells me the first

The coat extends down two-thirds the
length of the dress skirt. The trimming
upon this coat consists of cluny lace upon
foundation of white taffeta silk, the silk
being fitted to correspond with the points
of the lace. The front above the waist is
trimmed with this same cluny upon white
taffeta. 1t is fitted loosely to the figure by
means of plated and stitched darts. The

The skirt of this gray pique gown opens

Around the skirt, near the bottom, a bias
band of red silk is stitched on so as to
give the effect of large, round scallops or

thread that will bear washing Is beneath
it. At the bottom of the skirt on one side
is opening formed by cutting out gore.
The opening is filled in with gore Of
white pique embroidered in scarlet with an
anchor. The corsage or waist deserves es-

The fashion of the sleeve is to be noted.
It fits smooth, though not tight at the arm

MASSAGE AN OLD ART
JAPANESE FIRST TO PRACTICE
THE TREATMENT.
Their Methods Remain the Same as
They Were Centuries
Ago.
From the Plttsburs Gazette.

From the Pittsburg Gazette
Massage was known and pra cticed by the
ancient Japanese as a profession. Centuries
before the birth Of Christ there existed
cult of medicine men, as we would call
them, who made a speciality of relieving
people suffering from physical pain by
treatment with the naked palms of their
hands. In those days the japanese masseur
was regarded as a sorcerer, and it was be-
lieved that the ability to take away pain
with the hands was gift of divine origin
which son might inherit from his father.
But II was not otherwise transferable and
could not be taught to any one whose father
was not masseur. The profession was not
only highly esteemed, but was generally
very remunerative, and was confined ex-
clusively to the men. Sick persons were
not only treated, but healthy and well-to-
do people patronized the masseur for very
much the same reasons that prevail in our
modern world.
There be no doubt that the Japanese
are the original inventors Of the massage
treatment. At any rate there are no earlier
records than those furnished by Japan,
and the further back We trace the growth
q he massage idea in Europe, the nearer
2roach the land of the mikado.
Little Change Noticeable.
Astonishingly little change has beer made
in the methods employed. 1t is safe to say
tAal lue Styit VI ruDDlnS ana the profeS-
sional paraphernalia are practically the
same in Japan today as they were more
than two, and possibly three, centuries ago.
This Is not due to any lack Of application
or Of invention on the part of this the clev-
crest people of the orient. 1t is the natural
consequence of the fact that massage is
massage only at the hands of one who has
the proper touch and knows how to do It,
The method is SO primitive when most per-
fectly applied that it does not admit of any
improvement.
A light, healing vegetable grease is used
for rubbing now, as Of yore. and the same
movements prevail from the head down
ward to the toes with transverse kneading
on the same line of progression. For treat
ment of joints and knuckles circular move
ments with the ball of the hand prevail.
and the stretching of each individual limb
is a never-omitted feature, as well as the
finishing touch of a proper japanese mas

ments for various complaints, and variety

The brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers stands alone in opposing
the federation and the other class

travelling the country over to find a
conductor who is not wearing his

Clark, the head of the Order of
Railway Conductors, with head
quarters at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was
recently appointed by President
Roosevelt a member of the investi-
eating committee in the adjustment
of the existing troubles between
the mine owners and the anthracite
laborers.
The firemen and brakemen are
not thoroughly banded, but, said a
fireman running into Spokane yes
terday afternoon in an interview,
I'VE are hard at work and fairly
well organized"
The brakemen claim that their
troubles come from factiOnal
fight between the switchmen and
brakemen.
1t is stated that during a contest
on the Denver & Rio Grande rail
way the switchmen ordered a strike
and the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen not only failed to support
the Switchmen's union, but passed
resolutions to the effect that it did
not recognize the SWitChmen' s
union and claimed it would not be
considered dishonorable to take the
places Of the striking switchmen
during the contest.
They see the folly of that now"
said a switchman yesterday.
The telegraph operators are gain
ing recognition throughout the
country. They have accomplished
something of victory over the
other class orders and cite the fact
that they have secured employment
for the operators who went on a
strike on the entire Santa Fe sys-
TEN.
The Southern Pacific yielded to
the request of their employees and
put some of the Santa Fee strikers
to work, on the strength OF the ap-
peal made by their own men.
At Deming, N. M, the agent and
three telegraph operators were
jointly employed by the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe systems
in the form of a union station.
When the Santa Fe strike was
ordered, at the request of the gen.
eral chairman of the Order of Rail
way photographers of the Southern
Pacific, General Manager j. Krutt-
schmidt notified the operators at
Deming that they were not obliged
to perform the duties of telegraph
ers for the Santa Fee during the
contest.
One of the leaders among the
conductors said: Our demands
will be just and will be recognized
by the Southern Pacific"
The Southern Pacific has been
mentioned in the group of railroads
where it is expected the men are
planning an appeal for an increase.

The telegraphers of the Great
Northern have already presented
their contract and are awaiting
some action on the part of the men,
it being generally understood that
the contract as drawn up was re-
jected by the st. Paul authorities.
In connection with the contem-
plated great strike of the railroad
trainmen, President L. Haley of the
Arizona division of the Order of
Railway Conductors the other day
said to a Press reporter that "ru-
mors of trouble of that kind are
not coming from the Southern Pa.
cifc. We expect no trouble"
The telegraphers of the Great
Northern are opposed to carrying
oil for engines, long hours and lack
of consideration by their immediate
superiors.
The operators call attention to
the fact that the minimum salary
paid is $50 per month, which, after
paying for the necessaries of life,
they have scarcely anything to
show.
The delay on the part of the va.
rious railroad orders is due to the
fact that the class orders are hold
ing out for a settlement of their
federation plans, which will I'M
doubtedly occur shortly.
1T will be the last great strike in
the history of railroading if a con-
test is forced upon us at this time,
said an enthusiastic trainman last
night.
The United Brotherhood of Rail
way Employees, headed by George
Estes as president, is also making
great preparations.
