VERNAL LAZINESS.
An Excusable Disease That Attacks
Many at This Time of Year.
From the st. Louis Republican

From the st. Louis Republican.
When the curse of labor, the earning of
his bread by the sweat of his brow, was
imposed upon Father Adam in Eden, some
years ago, the full horror of this penalty
for sin must have been made manifest by
a choice of the springtime as the season
for it's initial infliction. Doubtless the gar
den was in its freshest and most youthful
vernal bloom. The was grateful to
Adams healthy skin and the new green
sward tempted him to rest upon it's elastic
surface and idly watch the clouds loafing
across the blue sky over Paradise Eve
too, was singing, one may easily believe. as
all her daughters have since loved to sing
in the springtime.
Adam must have poignantly felt the
curse of labor then. We cannot doubt this
because his vernal loathing for work has
descended to his race through all the gen
erations. The child of the first man who
tolls in the sprinStime with anything but
rebellion in his soul is an abnormal crea-
ton. 1t is difficult to imagine that there
are any such, since they are not in evidence
to the material senses. This little matter
is called to public attention just now for
the sake of disarming criticism and avert
ing rebuke of those who are dawdling
through their daily tasks as Nav an.
proaches. They would be either more or
les than human If they did not dawdle. II
is because of the law that fell on Adam in
vernal Eden.

Dangers of the Bath.
From the New York Times.


Brevity is commendable, but in the enun-

stop just short Of completeness of state
ment which leaves the seeker after infor-
nation at a loss to know how to apply such
knowledge after the manner in which orr
Puritan ancestors applied all Scripture-"Rv
way OF Improvement" For example. the
London Lancet startles the world with the
following announcement: Too much hath
ing is harmful, as it tends to macera ton
Of the superficial part Of the epidermis
which is too frequently removed, and oc,
casions probably too rapid proliferation
of the cells Of the malpighian layer" But
what is too much and how shall the man
who seeks to regulate his life by the teach
ings of science know when the superficial
part of his epidermis Is macerated and
when the proliferation Of the cells of the
malpighian layer is too rapid? No right
minded person would want these things to
happen in his own case, and to the indi-
vidual to whom bathing is perfunctory and
who feels greater sympathy than he
would be willing to express for the little
girl who objected to her morning ADDITIONS

looked for as the result of bathing oftener
than. say, once a week. Hence the infor-
nation of the Lancet, while shocking Is
not likely to be revolutionary of Individual
habits.

A JAPANESE INCENSE PARTY.
Etiquette of Curious and Interesting
Ceremony
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
II you ever receive an invitation to
japanese incense party accept it promptly
and thankfully. 1t has no counterpart In
our own social system, and is as merry and
pleasant an affair as can be imagined The
people of the mikado's land have trained
the nostrils for generations the same as
we have trained the eye and ear, and they
display a skill which at times is startling
to a westerner. There is an odd etiquette
to be followed in these social affairs. For
the twenty-four hours preceding the party
each guest must avoid the use of ANYTHING
which can produce any -odOr whatever.
Scented soaps, perfumes. odorous foods and
even spices must be avoided These pre-
vent the user from smelling accurately and
also interfere with the other members of
the party.
When you dress be careful to put on no
garment that has been kept in the neigh
borhoOd of camphor wood tobacco bou-
quets. dried blossoms or scented face DOW
der. When you reach the house of your
host enter 1t softly as you can, and as
slowly as possible. This is to prevent max
ing a draught by the movement of your
own body. Be equally leisurely in opening
and closing doors, as a quick movement IN
dUces sudden rush of air. In the draw
ing room the hostess burns series of in
censes usually four or five in number.
Each guest is allowed to take three shifts
of each incense and must then jot down its
name and number upon card. Each of
the four five incenses is burned two or
three times that the number of cards
will vary from eight to fifteen. At the end
the cards are laid out on the table and the
hostess reads the names of the incenses
employed, which are checked off upon the
cards. The guest who has guessed the
largest number receives a pretty prize,
which is sometimes silver or bronze in
ceEse burner, statuette or carving. Among
the Japanese the average woman guesses
correctly about six times in ten, while with
American women the ratio is three in ten.
Occasionally, however. American women
display a natural talent in this line and
make records of eight and nine in ten.
There is a large Japanese colony in New
York and among the wives of the leading
merchants these parties are quite common.

Action Taken by italian Authorities
Father of Kidnapped Girl

| Agreeably to the request of the Depart
| ment of State the Italian authorities have
| Professionally detained Clara Taylor and the
| kidnapped child, Margaret Taylor, at Boo
berigahera, the town in Italy where they
were located by Amba ssador Choate. A
cablegram received at the State Depart
ment today from Consul Pearson at Genoa
reports that Albert Angelic, consular
agent at San Reno, the nearest United
States official to Booberigahera, has identi-
fled the woman and child to the satisfac-
ton of the Italian authorities, who have
thereupon taken them into custody await
ing the arrival of eXtradition papers from
Cincinnati.
cablegram followed from Ambassador
Meyer at Rome stating that the Italian
foreign office had agreed to detain, pro-
Visionally, the woman and child.
Father of Kidnapped Girl Here.
A. V. Taylor, the father of the kid
naped girl, called at the State Department
today in company with Representative
Shattuc OF Ohio. He wished to consult
the officials to the best means of OBJ
tanning possession of his child and to Sc
cure the necessary credentials to the Uni
ted States consular officers to aid him in
his purpose.
He was told that he might have such help
as the department could give him, but that
IL would be necessary to await the issue of
eXtradition proceedings before he will be
free to fetch away the child. 1t is prob
able that two or three weeks will be con-
sumed in preparing the papers to secure
the extradition of Clara Taylor and dis
patching them to Italy in the custody of
an agent for the state of Ohio.

ask that Margaret be turned over to an
emissary who expects to start for Italy
with the officer bearing the extradition pa
pes.
Mrs. May Tennent Taylor mother of Mar
garet, said today after a talk with her
counsel that she would not insist on prose-
cutting Clara Taylor.
All 1 want she said, is to have my
daughter back"
