While these geisha girls are slaves,
they are not always social outcasts.
They are trained to be witty and viva

But the foreigner should beware OF
making presents to any japanese girl
unless he is bent upon matrimony. To
present her with any sort of gift, even
though it be only a posy, will be re-

accept the present, though not a word

that she accepts you. Gallant Americans

party got home In safety. Two lumber
men In the employ Of Sam Simpson,
logger operating in the neighborhood
of Duluth. MINI, heard the howl OF
wolf when they were about a mile from
their cabin. The men fastened toward
camp, but did not apprehend any real
danger.
In a few minutes wolf was heard at
much closer range. Then several were
heard at various points. The men could
think Of nobody that the wolves had In
view for supper but themselves, and
they broke into a run.
They arrived breathless at their camp,
three wolves following them to within
150 feet Of the cabin door. Ten minutes
later the bowls Of wolves in the vicinity
indicated that a great pack had as
sembled.
"If you want to get record as a
first-class runner" said one of the lum-
bermen who had escaped, "just get out
some place and get yourself chased by
a pack Of wolves. You will ind that
YOU have more muscle in your body
than you have any idea Of.

JOYS OF COMFY ISLAND.
Where Exhausted City Toilers Go for
Rest, Recreation and Various
Kinds of Amusement.

In no place is the search for pleasure
marked by more strange eccentricities
than at Coney Island, writes James L.
Ford, on "Our Melancholy Pastimes,"
in Leslie's Monthly. On the very hot
test Saturday afternoons in August
thousands of the city toilers, exhausted
with the heat and worn out with the
weeks labor, pack themselves into
steamboats, and trolley cars and come
hurrying down to enjoy breath Of the
cool sea air. Arrived at the world
famous ocean beach, one would naturally
expect to see them plunge without delay
into the refreshing waves. But the
habitual Coney Island visitor pays scant
heed to the ocean breeze or the refresh
ing salt waves He hurries from rail-
road depot and steamboat landing tothe
heart Of the densely populated region
Of chowder pots, photograph galleries,
variety shows, fortune tellers and other
characteristic Coney Island attractions.
Once within the limits Of this enchanted
territory, the perspiring citizen plunges
with animation into the whirlpool OF en-
ioyment that lies before him. The lung
tester claims his instant attention; and,
placing a filthy rubber mouthpiece TO
his lips, he blows until his face turns
purple and his lungs threaten to split,
in an insane attempt to force the pointer
on a dial to the unattainable number
that will yield him an unsmokable cigar.
Having had all the fun that he can
with the refreshing lung-tester, he
passes on to the sister device known as
the "try-your-strength," and by pay
ment Of a nickel secures the privilege
Of pounding with an enormous mallet'
in the hope of reaching number which
lies only within the powers Of the pro-
prietor Of the machine.
Cheered and invigorated by these two
forms of exercise, the amusement
seeker next proceeds to the photograph
gallery and secures tintype OF himself
that his mother would fail to recog-
nize: then on to the fortune teller, where
a soothsayer, who is also chiropodlst,
pictures for him future state which he
knows he can never realize. These forms
of amusement exhausted, there still re-
main the variety shows in which the
worst acts in the world are performed
by the worst serio-comic and played-out
song-and-dance men known to the mod
ern stage; the hot corn spread With
rancid butter; the poisonous beer with
a headache in every glass; the loop the
loop" In which enjoyment is favored
with the pungent spice Of peril; and the
thousand and one opportunities for
stalking and losing money on reputed
games of chance that are really the
surest kind Of sure things.

IN CLIFF DWELLER RUINS
Doll Heads and Turquoises Found by
Recent Explorers in New
Mexico.

DR.. R. w. Schuessler, while explor-
ing the Puye and Shufnne cliff dwell
lings, little less than thirty miles
northwest Of Santa Fe, made a pecu-
liar discovery last week, says the An
tonito (Col.) Ledger. He noticed
spot in the wall of different color than
that of the tufa around it and invesu'
gated. With his pocketknife he dug
into the soft stone and discovered
hole 5 inches in diameter and IL
inches deep, partly filled with mud, IN
which was imbedded a stick on which
was mounted a face Of obsidion that
looked like a dolls head. In the same
hole with the doll was small Dut
highly polished turquoise.
DR.. Schuessler investigated further he
found another hole of similar charac-
ter. in which there were also doll and
a turquoise After further search two
more of these sealed openings were
found. each Of which contained doll
and a turquoise. One Of these holes
contained a piece of petrifed resin, In
which tooth marks indicated that 1t
had been used much as the chewing
gum of to-day is used. Under pressure
from the fingers the resin powdered
into dust. The probabilities are that
the doll heads were idols, but the sig
nifcance of burying them in the mesa
walls and the presence Of the turquoise
are, of course, inexplicable.

all certain but that soon we shall all be
permitted the Joy of saying "dshin',"
says the Chicago Tribune.
A clever bit Of apparatus explains this
unorthodox theory. The contrivance,
made of one piece Of chalk and fine
wire, draws pictures of the sounds neces-
sary to produce words. For certain
sounds the ingenious apparatus draws
actual hills, which prove beyond a
doubt that those sounds require an
extra muscular effort from the man who
would speak correctly.
The contrlvance In question, invented
by Prof. Weeks, now Of Missouri, Is a
circle of wire, which fits around the
teeth, so that while 1t is in the mouth
that organ can be closed or used for
speaking without inconvenience. In
front of the mouth single wire pro-
jects from the loop, and inside a CORE
spending wire fastened to the circle,
projects back toward the soft palate. A
bit OF crayon on this wire serves to
stick the soft palate fast to the wire.
When a scientist, with this apparatus
in his mouth, begins to talk, every mo-
ton of his palate is communicated along
the wire to its outside end. This end
Is in contact with sheet Of lampblacked
paper, moving uniformly, so that every
motion Of the wire makes character
In the SCOT. For most sounds the wire
draws a wavy line, but for parts OF the
sound IN" the wire draws a hillock,
correspondingwith an extra large move
ment Of the vocal organ on the other
end of the wire. 1t is vocal laziness
which causes the titled Engltshman to
leave out this effort. But instead OF
condemning laziness, science prophet
cally points to the law by which men
follow this line of least resistance.
The particular mistake In orthoepy
of English nobility is attributed more
to the tongue than to the palate. To
say fishing" we must raise the middle
portion of the tongue to the roof OF the
mouth, whereas to pronounce "fshin'
only the tip of the tongue touches.
This again is a case Of laziness and least
resistance, which is proving stronger
than the dictionaries.

DEPARTMENT STORE WORK.
Duties of the Advertising Man and
the buyers" of Big Es-
adjustment.

The man who writes the daily adj
vertisement for big store commands
big salary-$10,O00 or $4,000. He
must be original, resourceful and wit
ny-a man of ideas. alert to see and
use opportunities, writes Frank Fay
ant, in Success. The quality of his
work tells day by day, for the effects
of a cleverly written advertisement
show Immediately in the increased
sales in particular departments. Every
night, the reports Of gross sales in the
three-score departments, as compared
with the corresponding days in the
previous week and the previous year,
indicate whether the days advertising
appropriation has been well spent.
Every day the buyers" give the ad'
vertisement writer a draft of the next
days particular offerings-a clearance
sale of winter overcoats, a shipment
of Partisan dress fabrics, bargains In
new novels, or a cut-price sale OF
canned goods. These the advertise
ment writer Yields into one big display
announcement, which, when 1t has
been approved by the general manager,
becomes the law and the gospel Of the
next days business. Copies Of 1t are
posted on all the floors and are put
into the hands of all the salespeople.
Every salesman and saleswoman in a
department must learn, the first thing
in the morning, the special prices at
which wares are offered In the days
advertising. The days advertisement
is the Baedeker for both shoppers and
salespeople.
The massing Of three-score or more
varied shops under one roof demands
an efficient staff Of department heads,
or buyers" The worth of a buyer
is measured by the amount Of net
profit he can show at the end Of the
year. He must be ON the alert to seize
opportunities for acquiring desirable
stocks at low prices-the bankruptcy
of a manufacturer or big merchant is

The Underground Ocean.

The investigations Of the geolos zeal
survey have brought to light facts
about the enormous quantity Of uGler-
ground water contained in tie crust
of the globe which are calculated to
astonish the ordinary reader Be ow a
depth of about six miles it is believed
that no water can exist in the rocks.
because the tremendous pressure prob
ably closes all pores; but above that
level the amount Of underground water
is estimated to be equal in quantity
to one-third Of all the water contained
in all the oceans. If poured over the
land surface of the globe, the under
ground water would be sufficient to
cover it to a uniform depth Of from
1000 to $500 feet.

A Flame for a Trumpet.

If a vibrating tuning fork is placed In
a fame the sound is markedly reen-
forced. Starting with this fact, Rev.
T. G. Porter, of England, has devised a
new form of monograph, in which
fame takes the place Of the trumpet
ordinarily used. The sounds thus reen-
forced are easily heard throughout a
large room. The explanation Of the ac-
ton of the fame is that the sound-waVes
falling upon it change its combustion
from a continuous to an intermittent
form, and the burning gas being thus
thrown into series Of waves which are
more powerful than the original sound
waves, reinforce them and thus magnify
the sound.

SOCIETY AT WHITE HOUSE.
Precedence in Social Assemblages Is
Very Difficult Question
to Decide.

The logical way of looking at what
might be called domestic precedence
would be this: all officials are servants
Of the people; those who are not OFF,
tials, and have neither desire nor in
tention of becoming so, are Of the
people, and therefore masters. Hence,
as Addison said, and Washington used
often to quote:
THE post of honor is private sta
ton" If this logical idea were adopt
ed, says John Gilmer Speed, in Sue
cess, the humblest citizen would rank
with the highest, or even above the
most exalted official How that would
turn things upside down! 1t would
bring about a condition of affairs that
would even SURPRISE alice in Wonder
land" 1t probably is not practicable,
and may be dismissed as an ideal not
possible to-day, but which may be
realized in the happy, and, l hope, not
distant future, when gentleness shall
have taken the place of elbowing
bumptiousness.
The difficulties of the president in his
desire to be approachable by all are
not new. The people have always been
admitted to the white house much
more freely than to any European pal
ace, and probably always will be. But
even that sterling democrat, Andrew
Jackson, found that promiscuous gath
erings must be controlled by regula-
tons. He tried, when first made presi-
dent, to serve refreshments to those
whom he considered his guests. He
was himself nearly mobbed by the
crowd that surged toward the tables.
He declared, there and then, that such
thing should never again occur at the
white house A thing just such as
that has not occurred since; but most
dreadful brushes are the rule, and reg
ulations-police regulations, if you
choose-are absolutely necessary.
What is more, it seems proper that
these other much vexed matters should
| be settled at once and forever by a
competent commission composed. say,
Of the chief justice, the secretary OF
state, the president of the senate, the
speaker Of the house, and the dean OF
the diplomatic corps. But these men
have more important matters to attend
to, it may be objected. OF course they
have, but they also, It seems, have time
to vex their souls and waste their
strength in ill-mannered squabbles as
to which shall go ahead Of the others.
Let rules be made by such a commits
sion in the interest of good manners.
