Japanese Paint Brushes.

The Japanese artist has made a
most careful study of how to convey
truths in the most plcasurable way
how to make his lines most beau
tiful, us though a speaker would use
but words Of most exquisite sound.
To do this he has cultivated his
"touch" until it is but mockery to
compare it with that Of his Euro
pean brother. Hc has learned to
handle his brush with dircctncss
and pre- .lsion which are thing of
wonder, and he has studied with a.
patience beyond compare the posi-
bilities of each particular kind of
brush. He knows, for instance, that
one kind of brush may be used to
express bamboo stem and that an
other brush will be less cfficacious.
He knows how to fill each particular
part Of that brush with certain
amount of color or of water so
that single movement of the hand
over the paper will paint the stem,
its light and shade, its peculiar char
acteristics, complete. And to tho
perfecting of that single movement
OF his Land over the paper he and
his ancestors have given years Of
study.-Independent.

The Greeks and Romans paid spe
cial attention to the physical culture
Of their youth, to public water sup
plies and baths, and Athens and
Rome were provided with sewers
early in their history.
During the middle ages sanitation
received decided check, and this
was the most insanitary period in
history. Most European towns were
built compactly and surrounded by
walls. The streets were narrow and
winding, and light and air were ex-
cluded. The accumulation of filth
was frightful. Stables and houses
were close neighbors. The dead were
buried within the churchyards or in
the churches. Wells were fed with
polluted water.
All conditions were favorable for
the spread of infectious diseases,
and in the fourteenth century alone
the oriental or bubonic plague, the
black death Of recent historians, car
ried off fourth of the population
of Europe. The birth rate was much
less than the death rate normally.
The cities had to be continually re-
populated from the country.

chrIstmaa Gard Evolution.

The Christmas card dates back to
1912, in which year the idea of such
device occurred to Sir Henry Cole.
who employed the famous artist, j..
G: Horsley, to make the design for
him. Sir Henry gave his idea and
design to London publisher, who
printed and sold about thousand
cards. They were Autographed and
then colored by hand. Such was the
small beginning of what is now an
immense business. Every Christ
mas cards were put on the market,
but they did not seem to bo popular
until 1862, when they came sudden
~ into favor in England and soon
began TO be used to a considerable
extent on this side Of the water. It
was some years, however, before the
Christmas card achieved in the
United States the great popularity
which it now enjoys. The first
Christmas cards were simple af-
fairs, those Of the early sixties be-
ing mostly plain cards bearing the
words merry Christmas" or sHap-
Ply New Year" only. They soon be-
gan to grow in ornateness, however,
and finally arrived at their present
state.

The Angels Came Too Readily.

a Georgia darky went out to an
old field to 'seek and pray"
1t was dusks and he knelt down
and put up long petition that tho
angels would come and minister
unto him.
Presently he heard tapping of
wings behind him, and in second
he was making race horse time on
the home road, where he jumped
L 70 bed and covered his head.
Suddenly there was loud knock
ing at the door, and his startled
wife cried:
"John, git up dar, fer de .Lawd-
sake! De angels you been seekin' is
come fer you'll"

bling answer. tTell 'em thoo' de

A Veteran Danseuse.

Probably the professional life of
no class is SO short as that of the
ladies who dance for our delight in
the season of pantomime, and none
nowadays can be said to dance
through two generations. What a.
surprise the present public would
experience at such an announce
ment as appeared in the London
Weekly Journal of Jan. 26, 1928.
that a veteran danseuse, aged sew
enty-one, would on certain date
perform series of dances. The eel
ebrated Peggy Fryar, therein adver-
tised, had publicly danced in the
early years Of the reign of Charles
III. and made her final appearance
in the time Of George II. Her
dancing in her seventy-seoond year
drew crowds to the New theater in
tbs Haymarket in 1923. but the
charm was probably the novelty
rather than the excellence of her
performance.

The Proper Way to introduce People.

The Proper Way to Introduce People.
In making an introduction the
man is always taken to the lady to
be presented, and the formula is,
'.Miss A., may I present Mr.. B. ?''
Where two women or two men are
presented the elder is addressed
where the difference is marked. A
girl presents her friends to her
mother, but the mother says, cal
low me to present my daughter,
Mrs. Blank" a woman should rise
when another woman is presented
to her unless she is much younger
than herself. If a man is presented,
she retains her seat and bows and
smiles cordially. Men always shake
hands when introduced to each 9TH
er. }omen do so when desiring to
show especial friendiness.-L Ladies'
Home Journal.

Perhaps the moet beautiful I'll

Is Q study. The general lettering is
In herman text, each letter perfect

lid to lid. W
At the beginning Of each chapter
the ilrst letter is very large, usually
Two or three inches long, and Is
brightly Illuminated in blue or red
ink. Within each of these initials
there Is drawn the figure of some
saint, or some incident of which the
following chapter tells is illustrated
There are two columns on page.
and nowhere is traceable the SLIGHT
est irregularity of line, space or Tor
nation of the letters. Even under
a magnifying glass they seem flaw
less. The precious volume is kept
under a glass case, which is some
timos lifted to show that all the
pages are as perfect as the two
which lie open.
A legend relates that young man
who had sinned deeply became a
monk and resolved to do penance
for his misdeeds. He determined to
copy the Bible, that he might learn
every letter of the divine commands
he had violated. Every day for
years he patiently pursued his task.
Each letter was wrought with rev.
erence and love, and the penitent
soul found its only companionship
in the sanity faces which were Dor
trayed on these pages.

Care In Drylna Linen.

In these days of factory made lin
ems it is especially essential that the
goods should be carefully Numbered.
The fiber Of linen is easily cracked
when it is in q frozen state, and for
this reason it is much wiser to dry
it in the house during the cold
weather. Old fashioned linen such
as our great-grandmothers wove
could be easily hung outdoors in
winter and allowed to bleach in the
frost as well as in the dew, but when
the fiber has been weakened BY the
use OF bleachers it is impossible that
it should wear Ike the old time
linens.

Potatoes.

To test the quality of potatoes
cut one in half and rub the two
pieces together. If it is nice and
mealy, they will stick together, and
there will be show of froth at the
edges and on the surfaces, but wa
tar should not run out even under
pressure. The color Of the meat
should be white or Of yellowish
tinge. The opinion that entirely
yellow potatoes do not boil well is
not well founded, for there aresome
yellow varieties that leave nothing
to be desired in this respect.
