The latest fad Of fashionable people
since the outbreak of war in the far
east is the use Of the favorite Japanese
perfume named the water lily incense,
says the New York Press. 1t Is COM
monty used in all the homes Of Japan,
as well as in the Buddhist temples, but
it has only recently been introduced
into the United States and is now be-
ing sold In all the Japanese stores in
the big cities. 1t is done up in little
cakes and burned like the famous Chi
nese joss stick, so we'll known In many
American homes, but it has far more
delicate and aromatic fragrance. Doc
tors say that 1t is specially valuable
as a disinfectant in the sickroom, for
which purpose it is extensively used
in Japan.

DEVOTION OF JAPANESE.
Sacrifices of Rich and Poor to Aid
Their Country.

Their Country.
John Fox, Jr., in 1.-The Trail OF the
Saxons" in the June Scribners writes
thus of the Japanese people:
And then the stories l heard of the
devotion and sacrifice of the people
who are left at home! The women let
their hair go undressed once month
that they may contribute per month
the price of the dressings sen. a
gentleman discovered that every serv-
ant in his household, from butler down,
was contributing a certain amount of
his wages each month and in conse-
quence offered to raise wages just the
amount each servant was giving away.
The answer was
"Sir, we cannot allow that. 1t is an
honor for us to give, and it would be
you who would be doing our duty for
us to Japan"
A Japanese lady apologized profuse-
ly for being late at dinner. She had
been to the station to see her son oil
for the front, where already were

"How fortunate to be able to give
four sons to Japan"
In tea house | saw an old woman
with blackenad teeth a servant, who
bore herself proudly and who, too, was
honored because she had sent four sons
to the Yalu. Hundreds and thousands
of families are denying themselves one
meal day that they may give more to
their country, and one rich merchant
who has already given 100000 yen has
himself cut off one meal and declares
that he will live on one the rest Of his
life for the sake Of Japan.
There is war play on the boards Of
one theater. The heroine, a wife, says
that her unborn child in crisis like
this must be man child and that he
shall be reared a soldier. To provide
means she will herself, if necessary,

UNITED STATES OF EUROPE.
Frenchman Predicts n Coalition TO
Resist American Aggression.


A union of the majority Of the ma
tions of Europe into a great federation
has been predicted by Anatole Leroy
Beaulieu, the French economist and
sociologist, in lecture on The
United States of Europe" given under
the auspices of the Alliance Franchise
in Chicago, says a dispatch from that
city.
In this union, which Professor Beau
lieu thought was sure TO come about,
though possibly not in the twentieth
century, three nations, he said, would
not be included-England, because 1t
would combine instead with the United
States; Russia, because it would form
a great independent nation by itself;
and Turkey, because it would be aD-
sorbed by the coalition and lose its
identity. The union would be neces-
sary, the speaker said, to resist Ameri-
can aggression and the yellow peril.
The lecturer said he had perceived
that this country has tendency to
look upon continental Europe with the
same. regard that children have Tor
superannuated parents, whose useful
ness has come to an end"
Europe" said Professor Beaulieu,
sis in danger The United States is
pressing hard upon the old countries In
all lines of activity. not merely COM
mercial. but artistic and scientific. If
this is not sufficient cause, there is

of Japan will mean the awakening OF
China. The United States makes light
of the 'yellow peril but it does exist

Moscow, for example, struck last au-

OUAY'S INDIAN FRIENDS.
Late Senator's Experience With a
Seminole Chief.

Nhfeis
Among the red men the late Senator
Matthew $. Quay had some very firm
friendships, says the Washington Post.
Near his lodge in Florida there was an
encountered remnant of the Seminoles,
between whom and the Pennsylvania
senator there had sprung up warm
intimacy.
On one occasion he sent one of the
unconquered Seminoles, who was suf-
fering from cancer, to a hospital ut
Jacksonville and kept hm there, pay
ing all bills for year. ~
The chief of those Indians was a
man of great dignity and character,
Just before starting on trip to the
sunny lands Senator Quay purchased
a beautiful silver mounted rifle, intend
ed as Il gift to this chief, who, to his
surprise, refused to accept it.
Il cannot take any gifts from white
men," was the big chiefs gruff reply.
But it is presentI brought you,"
rejoined the senator.
Il will buy it." said the chief.
Il am not selling rifles replied Mr..
Quay Il want to give this to you"
The upshot of the parley was that
the chief refused, but later brought
around a young Indian buck, to whom
the chief wished the rifle might be
sold. Mr. Quay resisted that, but it
ended by his selling the silver mounted
rifle to the Indian chief favorite for 81.

Who Are Americans?

In his recent book on Greater Amer
ica," Archibald Colquhoun decides that
only the people of the United States
are entitled to be called Americans.
There are Canadians, Mexicans, Bra-
zilians. Peruvians and the like, but
these are not Americans in his opinion.
The worlds usage gives this proud APP
pellation only to those who live under
The stars and stripes. Upon considera-
ton, this decision seems just. 1t is the
land of Uncle Sam that has developed
the peculiar and distinctive new sys-
tenn in the world known as American
Others have simply copied. 1t is this
country that is the guardian of the
western hemisphere. The spirit of new
world democracy is 1ncarnated in the
body of this nation. In Europe there
Is now a craze for all things American,
but the customs that have become fads
over the water all had their birth in
the United States. None of them comes
from our neighbors either to the north
or to the south. Canada has developed
| no distinctive tendency apart from
! England. Mexico and the republics of
| Central and South America are Span
ish, with their governments modelled
on that at Washington.
Says the Chicago Inter Ocean:
The name is ours, and ours alone, by
| right of prior use and example to the rest
| OF the western world. But for us the
| names of the other American republics
| would have no national meaning at all
| would be mere geographical expressions.
| We made the western hemisphere polit-
i ically different nationally different from
| Europe. We made 1t distinct in fact. For
1 those who have followed us we have ev-
! cry respect. but at present there is only
| one American people-only one American
| nation-and we are that people!
The name American as distinctively
belongs to the citizens of the United
States as Roman did to those who lived
in the Eternal City or as Greek did to
those on the shores of~the Hellespont
May it not become even more glorious
In the history of nations?

CAPTURE OF PERDICARlS.
Details of the Wealthy Americans
Abduction by Tangier BEigands.


Details have been received in Lon
don Of the capture of Ion Perdicaris
and Cromwell Narley by brigands out
side Tangier, says a special cable dis
patch to the New York American. The
cries of servants on the night of the
abduction, as the families We're seated
in the drawing room of the perdicaris
villa. that Ivan, a footman, was being
murdered brought the entire party to
the servants hall, thinking to see a
servants dispute in progress.
To the terror of the families, they
found the hall swarming with armed
Moors who We're binding with ropes

a change of attack, and brief but
spirited struggle took place, in which
they were overpOwered and made cap
tives. The women of the party sought
to aid their husbands but were knock
ed down and threatened with death.
Raisuli, the brigand chief, blew a
whistle. Instantly the house was sur
rounded by more than 100 of his fol-
lowers. Perdicaris and varley were
hurriedly carried to their own horses
and rushed into the darkness.
The English housekeeper attempted
to call United States Consul Gummere,
in Tangier, by telephone, but the brig
ands broke the instrument and thrust
her aside.

TO LOCATE FRACTURES.
Use Proposed by II Chicago Surgeon
For Tuning Forks.

A very simple method of locating
fractures in bones, particularly in long
Ones by the aid of tuning fork. is
proposed by Chicago surgeon, says
Golfers Weekly.
A stethoscope is placed over the bone
as near as possible to the point of sus-
pected fracture and on the side where
the skin is thinnest. Then vibrating
tuning fork is placed against the flesh
near the bone, but on the other side Of
the fracture if possible. If the bone is
continuous, a distinct clear sound will
be heard in the stethoscope, but if the
break is between the two, this sound
will be faint and irregular, as the vi
brations will not be transmitted past
the break.
or course this method depends upon
the fact that hard bone is an excellent
conductor of vibration, while tissue is
not. Perhaps even more valuable
application CT this idea would be in
finding out when a break has knitted
properly for when the joining is again
perfect the sound will be as clear as
that of an unbroken bone.

A RUSSIAN SUPERSTITION,
Alleged Prophecy of st. Serniin as
to the War In the East.

10 the War In the East.
There is much talk in St Petersburg
ana in other Russian cities of the prob
ability that the car will go to the seat
OF war, says the Paris Temps A new
~ discovered prophecy of st. Seraln,
1t is said, will induce him to take su-
prcme command of the Russian forces
IL the east.
Last July, it will be remembered, the
remains of st. Serafin of Sarof were
carried into a church specially built
for their reception. Father Seratin, as
he was commonly called, died about
seventy years ago in the desert of Sa-
rof and was buried near his hermit
nut. Some little time after his death
well not far from his grave was dis
covered whose water had curative
qualities. The church after due inves
ugation concluded that the well was
molly, and the saint was canonized.
Last year the emperor and all the i'm
perlal family We're present at the re-
moVal of the saints remains. The car
himself and three grand dukes carried
the precious burden to the place pre-
pared for it, and it was the Czarina

Novel Method of\PrOflt Sharing,

that he intends to retire from active
business in their favor, says the New

mates, with the stipulation that in case
the business should prosper they are
