CJEER ORDER oF KNIeHTs.


japanese Have a Method of Defense
Based on Science.
More than $500 years ago there
sprang into existence in Japan
an order Of knights who were
known as the Samurai. TO them
were impaired all the learning.
the polite breeding and the forms
of superiority that mark the gen.
tleman. They were skilled in arms
and versed in the arts Of war, for
they were the emperor's fighting
men, and none but they was al
lowed to bear arms, says ST. Mich
olas.
AS there could not always be
war on hand and as it was cOnsid-
cred beneath the dignity of the
Samurai to go into any ordinary
calling, il came about naturally
that these little knights found
much idle time on their hands. Be
ing men of war, they turned their
attention to athletic feats. One
among the Samurai conceived the
idea of learning by practice the To-
cation of every sensitive nerve and
muscle in the body.
After that he discovered all the
joints of the bones that could be
seized in such a way as to give
mOmentary power over the mus
Giles of an adversary. He prac-
ticed with his fellow Samurai and
thus by degrees was developed the
most wonderful system of athIet-
les known in the world. The Jap
anase call this work jiu-jitsu. The
def pressures applied in the prac-
tice of jiu-jitsu produce only mo-
mentary pain, but do not really in
lure the muscles or nerves. In all
other things the japanese are the
most polite people in the world, so
it follows that even in their fight
ing they have adopted a humane
yet effective method Of selfde-
Tense. They do not strike out with
the clinchcd fist and seek to bruise,
as do the Anglo Saxon in their
boxing contests.
A knowledge of iiu-jitsu en-
ables one almost instantly to con
vince his opponent that it is use.
less to fight. There are now
schools of jiu-iitsu everywhere in
Japan. Every soldier, sailor and
policeman is obliged to perfect
himself i'm the system. a Japan
csc policeman possessed of the
art has been known single-haudcd
to reduce 10 submission and TO
take to the police station four
sturdy sailors of a foreign Asiatic
squadron.

Regiment to Japan

New York, Feb 25.-Leopol d
Moss, of Chicago, who is in this city,
has announced his intention OF re-
cruiting here a regiment of He
brews for service in the Japanese
army. Moss was a colonel on the
staff of the late Gov. Altgeld of Illi-

tain in the Spanish war. officials
of the Japanese government have
repeatedly stated that their coun.

ment is not likely to reach the

Brain Development.

Brain development is found by
Prof. Seggel, of Munich, to have
two periods of acceleration-from
to II, and from II to Is in girls,
and from II to 10 and 10 to 20 in
boys. At the period of most rap
id increase in height, from II to IA
years, the growth of the brain is
less than one-hundredth that of
the body, but at II to 10 it grows
one-thirtieth as fast, and at 90
reaches one-seventh of the body
growth.

WHY THINKERS LIVE LONG.
Pleasant Exertion Observation-Disclosures
as Baleful as Undue Fatigue.

as odeIul as Undue Fatigue.
Thinkers as a rule live long; or,
to put the proposition into more
general terms, exercise of the mind
tends to longevity, says the Lon
don Telegraph. Herbert Spencer
has died in his eighty-fourth year,
Darwin reached his seventy-third,
Sir George Stokes his eighty
fourth, Carlyle his eighty-sixth !;
Tyndall was accidentally poisoned
at seventy-three, but might have
lived several years longer; Hux-
ley was seventy when he died,
Gladstone in his eighty-ninth year,
Disraeli in his seventy-seventh.
Newton lived to be eighty-five, and
Lord Kelvin is still vigorous in re-
search in his eightieth. TO a great
extent the brain is the center Of
the seat of life, what Sir William
Gull called the central battery,
and its stimulation undoubtedly
strengthens the forces that make
for vitality. Healthy exercise of
either mind or body of course ia
vors length of days, but the striv.
ings of the thinker and writer are
seldom quite of the healthy order.
Darwin, Carlyle and Spencer were
victims of nearly lifelong dyspep.
STA, and yet exceeded three-score
and ten. Pleasant exertion with.
out pleasure; a priOri, one would
not expect the abstract thinker to
live so happily as the man of ex.
perimental research, and expert
ence seems to confirm the expecta-
ton. No one will question Sir
James Paget's dictum that Undue
fatigue is a common cause Of dis
ease. but so also is Incidence.
What part of the human economy,
mental or physical, is not made for
activity?

OBSERVATIONS ON INSECTS.
Some Bite Their Food, Others Obtain
1t by Sucking.

Some Bite Their Rood, others OBTAIN
1t by Sucking.
Insects are jointcd creatures,
ordinarily with six legs when
.aduIr. never with more. Ccuti.
pcdrs and spiders are therefore
mot insects. Neither are mites,
for they have eight legs when fully
grown.
True insects may hc divided, for
economic purposes, into those
which bite their food. and thoSr
which obtain it by sucking. The
former can be killed 10y Il spray Of
paris green, or some other of the
arScnicals; the latter have to be
sprayed with Kerosene emulsion.
The distinction between biting and
sucking insects is not SO radical
as might be supposed; for exam.
pie, the caterpillar, pure bitter,
becomes a butterfly, or moth,
which only sucks; the bee and its
allies are true biters, yet we all
know how the bee sucks nectar
from the flowers.
Ants belong to the same order of
insects as the bees, but have very
different habits. Ants of the
genus POgOnOmyrmex make i'm
mense nests in the ground, throw
ing out little pebbles in great num-
bers. 1t is interesting to see how
carefully they will carry the peb-
bles just over the edge of the
dump, so that they will not fall
back into the nest.
