Men az ProiectiIes.

A Singhalese newspaper published
in Colombo, Ceylon, is tired of the
paucity of news about the war, and in
order to regale its readers it now and
then manufactures some, Of which the
following is a sample-a translation
by the Ceylon Times:
"The sultan was communicated with
regarding an approaching conflict, and.
being a great friend Of the Japanese
monarch, he sent a specially trained
company of swordsmen, each of whom
with sword in his hand is shot away
from the mouth of gun at the enemy
just as ordinary shrapnel would be-.
On arrival among the enemy he makes
short work of them by his sword play.
These swordsmen are now fighting for
Japan and gaining victories"

Sir Edwin Landseer had man serv-

master as the greatest man in the

riding up to St. Johns woods, he would
be told that "Sir Hedwin was bout"
because the faithful Cerberus. as he
was called, though his master did not
want to be disturbed. There were
other amusing stories about the same
valet. On one occasion, travelling to
the north with Sir Edwin, he was very
anxious about the luggage, and kept
getting out whenever the train stopped
to see if it was all right.

A Successful Salesman.

The late Thomas Bracket Reed
used to relate the following incident
which happened one summer while he
was spending few days in small
fishing village on the New England
coast.
A young countryman who had been
advised to take sea baths registered
at the village hotel one evening, and
shortly afterward sauntered down to
the beach. Espying grizzled old
fisherman mending his nets beneath a
sign which informed one that B
had boats and tackle to let and bait
for. sale, he accosted the veteran and
asked him if the water was not for
sale also. On receiving an affirmative
reply the countryman returned to the
hotel, obtained a couple of buckets.
and, having paid the price asked, filed
them and returned to his room to
carry out the doctors instructions.
On the following morning he hap
pened down at the beach when the
tide was out, and after contemplating
the broad receding beaches for some
minutes, approached his acquaintance
of the evening before and remarked
in a tone of admiration, Gosh! but
you must have done some business
last night"

Victim of Circumstance.

Zola's method of studying the char
acters-many of which were SO revolt
ing-in his great nature novels show
that he takes the mind of his character
and places it on the operating table as
the surgeon places the body which is
to be operated on. He studies every
nerve, every sentiment, every thought,
as the surgeon follows the veins and
arteries laid open before his eyes. To
Zolas mental vision certain conditions,
certain environments, on certain char
acters, certain minds, would bring
about certain results, and from the re-
suits of this surgical diagnosis of the
mentality of his character he elabor-
ates the life, actions and thoughts of
the men or women whom his brain has
created, says the New York Herald.
No surgeon can operate upon him
self No woman can know herself as
she really is; therefore she can only
tell you the truth about herself in SO
far. as that truth is known to her by
the training she has received, fitting
her Tor the station In life to which she
was born. Mayhap, 1 agree with the
playwright that no woman can tell
the truth about herself. Yet she Is
not q liar, only the victim Of cir
cumstances.

Repose Of Manner.

Repose of manner, that quality for
which all Englishwomen and some Of
our southern beauties are famous, is
one of the hardest things in the world
to acquire. It means simply the DOW.
er of relaxing.
First of all, you must relax; second
you must keep relaxed, and all the
other rules are expressed in the same
word, relax" 43s
Doctors who have studied their fem
mime patients will tell you that much
or your nervous force escapes through
your finger tips while you fidget with
your chain or your purse. You lose
still more when you cough and perk
your body about unnecessarily, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
One beauty specialist goes SO far as
to declare that nothing will make
wrinkles quicker than the habit OF
moving and Jerking, and that nothing
is SO fatal to beauty as coughing and
B Wheeling. All such habits are really
nervous complaints. To cure ali these
fdgety movements cultivate the habit
OF sitting perfectly still, Keeping the
hands and fingers motionless as long
as possible, and relax. s,a.s
Your reward will BE the air of an.
tinguished repose SO sought after BY
our nervous society women.
