Belts for wearing with afternoon
gowns are made in the same material

Pear shaped spangles are much used
as trimming for handsome afternoon

Threads of gold simmer through
new braids, which are mostly of floss
silk, beautifully glossy.
Some new collar and cuff sets are
made of the increasingly fashionable
eyelet embroidery or English cutwork

JAPAN's BRAVE WOMEN.
7-oud If Their Sons Are Killed Fight
ina in Cattle.

The women of the tIikado's king
dom viii figure more prominently N
the Eastern war than is generally liz
aeined. Alas, they will suffer most,
Though small in stature, like the
man. the japanese wives and maiden;
are brave and patriotic. In time Of
war they do not shirll the new duties
imposed upon them. Many thousands
of them will lee found close to the
Dsttlefields in the role of nurses and
general l1elpn.ates TO The ,rCunde,
and sick.
The patriotism Of these women, &C
cortling to the testimony OF those who
have observed their mode of life, is
of the highest order. Indeed, a
prominent missionary states they are
even more patriotic than American
women. However that may be, all
former American residents of japan
agree that when war breaks out the
women, like the men, lay aside all so
cial differences and are united for the
good Of the common cause.
It is difficult for foreigners to under
stand the depth OF the patriotism OF
the japanese women. because it is
something more than mere love OF
country, being part of the reverence
they have for their ancestors and for
a history that antedateS the Christian
era. This patriotism has been styled
THE spirit Of Japan"
\ Japanese mother, Ter illustration,
is more proud than grieved il her son
is brought home dead from war.
To her it is an honor that her son

1t is related that the mother OF

Il Good f'urio:.se.
Can q cat really suck tie breach of q

we have always heard that It could.

tinctiy remember frequent warnings
TO look out fer the cat. Ito not allow
the cat to get into bed vita You. espc-
daily to get into bed with the BABY as
it is liable to suck the buby's breath.
which would cause the baby to die.
Is there any foundation for such n
notion as this? We never could discov-
er any real meaning 10 the belief that
I: cat can suck the breath Of Il child
Indeed the sentence is totally EniiI u.
iigibc.
What is meant by sucking the breath?
It may be true that the cat. attracted
by the breath of child who had re-
Gently been nursing, might attempt to
interfere in some manner with the
child'S mouth. In young cats the i'm
pulse to Nurse might be excited by the
smell OF the chtld's breath. 1t is bare
u possible that the cat might be seized
with Il desire to bite or to devour the
clild's lips or tongue, lurcd on By the

q mere fancy, the origin Of which is
hard to explain
Yet we would advise mothers to be

Why Popcorn Pops Out White.

Why does popcorn pop? Most Deo-
pie probably have wondered what the
reason is, but only recently has sci
encc ia ken un the question and turn
ishcd an answer. Popcorn pops be
cause OF the expansive power of
steam.
\ grain OF popcorn is a receptacle
filled with tightly packed starch
grains. Its interior is divided into a
large number Of cells, each OF which
may be regarded as d tiny box. with
walls strong" enough 10 resist eonsid-
cradle pressure from within. When
heat is applied the moisture is con
cerleG into steam, which finally cs-
ccres by explosion.
In order 10 secure a satisfactory
popping there is required an extreme
II high heat. which causes most CT
the cells 10 explode simultaneously.
The grain Of corn then turns literally
inside out and is transformed into Il
relatively large mass OF snow-white
starch, beautiful to the eye.
Though gaining so largely in bulk
by popping the grain OF corn loses con
siderably in weight. 1t has been
found that 100 average grains Of I'm.
popped corn weigh IL grams. whereas
the same number of grains after pop
ping weigh only II grams The diff
ference is the weight of evaporated
water originally contained in the corn
grains.
If the popcorn is old and dry it
will not pop we'll At best a few cells
near the center of the grain will
burst, and the result is not salisfac-
tory. At the base Of the kernel,
where the latter is attached to the
cob, the cells appear to be driest,
and it is noticed that these cells are
seldom ruptured in the popping. 1t
may be that this is why popcorn is
always preserved on the cob and
never 1'shucked'' for the market.
