We accordingly left on the early morning

/ can say in commentator is that the
procession started on time. The public
buildings we're all tastefully decorated as
we'll as a few privates. We secured stand
ing room near to the Grand Stand. in
which was Governor Taft as reviewing Of
fetal, besides General Davis, Admiral
Sterling and others high IN rank of both
the civil and military affairs.
At the head of the procession were divi-
sions of infantry, light and heavy artillery
and cavalry, all looking trim and in good
form. The native scouts next made good
showing followed by company OF the
Constabulary on the wiry native pony,
which is a wonder of strength and endur-
ance for his size. The army Transport
service had large body of natives march
ing to the music of gay brass band, A
miniature vessel Roosevelt headed this
array of workers a host of swarthy

els etc represented the street cleaning

medical authority rats play an importan

Before it we stand in dazed surprise,
and not until it has filled our being
with the wine OF its sweetness do we
realize all that it is to US. Sometimes
when or souls are permeated with
the joy OF it, We wonder how we lived
in the days before it came to US. What
a strengthened it is, and how insensi-
bly, it supplies the ammunition
wherewith to fight the battles OF God
and humanity. Yet ssddest OF all sad
things, how easily and carelessly this
beautiful bond is often broken!
Genuine friendship is so rare; the
friendships that "suffers long and is

little higher niche in our temple of
interests, and lay little sweeter Offer

A Quaint People.

The heart of Brittany never changes,
but its face is rapidly losing many of
its prominent characteristics with the
leveling influence of the French repub-
lie 1t is only far out of the beaten
track, now, or on special occasions, like
fetes, that you see universally the cos
tunes and customs of the old Armori-
can peninsula. Only an hours journey
from Quimpcr. the modernized chief
town of Finistere, and you are among
the Bigoudines, a people whose dress
suggests the Eskimos and Chinese,
whose faces are strongly Mongolian in
type and who in language, customs and
beliefs seem TO have no relation with
the rest of France. More and more the
problem they present Is
coming TO attract attention. Artists,
students and tourists alike are fasci-
mated by it-Andre Saglio in Century.

Pocket Furnaces.

Curious hand furnaces are used in
China during the winter months. chief
ly in the north, when the fire, in place
of being in the house, as we have II, is
carried about the person beneath the
thickly padded cotton garments or in
the hand. At times ii is placed be-
meath the chair on which one Is seated.
This contrivance, resembling the char
coal pans formerly used before the
days of the pit coal by the Hartford
shire straw plaiters. was first intro
duced to our notice when resting at
village in the Fukien province, which.
before we had investigated the cause,
we noted rs place remarkable for the
deformity of its inhabitants, old men
and women with strange swellings pro-
jecting in the most unaccountable
places. Our speculations were, how
ever, speedily set Mt rest and the mat
ter satisfactorily explained by an old
gentleman who removed his greatcoat
and disclosed small copper furnace
secured round his waist with Il band
and neatly covered with basket work.
This artificial mode of beating the body
is only rcsorted to in time of extreme
cold, as on ordinary occasions the peo-
pie deem their thick clothing a sufii-
cient protection during winter.-Golden

lii japan the nose is the only feature
which attracts attention. The nose de-
tefmines the beauty or aglincss of the

This is probably due to the fact that
difference in noses constitutes about
the only distinction between one Japa-

invariably black, the cheek bones high

Long before this Turner had matured
purpose which continued TO be his
dominant idea while life lasted. This
was to bequcath TO his country a Tur-

100000 to build and endow an asylum
for decayed artists 1t was for this
great object that he denied himself all
pleasures that cost money, all luXuries.
His resolve, once made, could not be
shaken. On one occasion he was of

locked up in the den" Give me the

Liverpool merchant. "and here is the

Turner. 81 have refused better of

bequeathed 100000 to found an nsy-

country. This latter bequest was, how
ever coupled with the condition that his
