New Rendition of a Beautiful Text
From the Psalms

In a certain dwelling on Rhode Island
avenue a very pretty young woman who
has advanced along the course of human
existence as far as the fourth milestone
lives, moves and has her being. In addi-
ton to the various traits of goodness
that encompass this damsel Is her fond
ness for attending the Sunday school at
tached to church on Vermont avenue,
and she Is privileged to rejoice in the
fact that she is a member, in good and
regular standing. of the infant class.
One of the duties required of the juve-
niles In this class is the recital to the
teacher each Sunday morning Of a line
from Holy Writ. and for this the scholars
are rewarded with an Illuminated card
illustrating a verse or two from the
Bible.
Recently little Christine-that is her
charming name-rehearsed for whole
week line from the eighteenth Psalm in
which the divine minstrel in his song
gives praise to the Lord for His manifold
and marvellous blessings.
The Lord is my rock" Ia the beautiful
sentiment inspired by the psalmist, and
when Christine started for Sunday school
on a beautiful Sabbath morning she had
the words down pat, and proudly she
waltzed up to her teacher and started to
say them. The Lord is" here she hest
tated. She was evidently puzzled. Again
she began: The Lord is" and, hating,
she began again. her countenance aglow
with triumph. The Lord is q brick" she
almost shouted.
She got her illuminated card all right,
and while some of the elders smiled, no
one had the heart to tell her she was
wrong
She was not posted in the science OF
mineral substances, anyway.

The japanese City Where the Trade
With China Centers.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
A twenty-mile jog on the slowest Of war

smokestacks rise in black. breathing cir

brassware, bronze and almost everything
that is made by wholesale in Japan comes
out of Osaka. The great trade with China
centers here. and the prosperous Chinese
Of the commercial class are seen in the
streets and the railways more often than
In Yokohama and Tokyo.
The soldiers uniform Is omnipresent all
the city is a-futter with flags. and the bell
of the newsboy speeding with his extras
seems always in the air High above the
river bank at the end of the city rise the
black and white towers of the taiko's great
castle, the military headquarters of the
modern army. and bugling comes from over
its great walls all day. No one Is admitted
to castle or arsenal now, and the streets
around the castle approaches are always
full of marching men-the reserves called
in after years of civil life, and needing
training in garrison ways and marching
again.
One NAV go only to the great gates In
the moated walls and look at the colossal
stones used in it's construction. Some or
them even forty feet long, ten feet h1gh
and of unknown thickness. Granite posts
twelve feet high set into titanic walls are
all too common, for when the taiko set to

est stones for such use.
All the inner buildings, the gorgeous pal

Iyeyasu the first Of the Tokugawas, cap
tured 1t about 800 years ago. The latter
palace was blown up by the last of the To-
Ruwa shoguns when he fled before the i'm
perial troops in 1868 But while the walls
remain 1t will be, as Ktpling says, "a pile
that, with a blue fire on the bastions. might
have served for the guard gates of hell
Only Kipling has ever done justice to
this greatest Of Japanese castles: Fifty
feet was the height Of the wall, and never
a pinch Of mortar in the whole.
Castles in India I know. and the forts or
great eIhperors I had seen; but neither
Akbar in the north nor Scindia in the south

ment, without color, but with single eye
to savage strength and the utmost purity

WHERE CHINESE STILL LEAD.
No Nations Have Been Able to Make
Such Good India Ink.


With all their modern improvements and
all their science, none Of the advanced ma
tons have been able to produce the equals
of the Chinese and Japanese lacQuers or
India inks. Chemists ink manufacturers
and artists have tried for generations to
discover the secret that enables the Chi
nese with primitive processes. to produce
these materials in such perfect form, but
the secrets still are secrets
The manufacture of India ink, in par
made In China today practically as 1t was
made four centuries ago when Chen XII
Sonen invented the process.
The Oil is pressed out OF the seeds of a
certain plant and then set to simmer, while
the workman adds a mixture of powdered
almonds and other powders.
After the simmering is ended, the result
Is filtered and set aside for a long time TO
settle. Then it is put, into tiny eartheD
dishes each of which has a wick made out
of reed A great quantity OF these little
dishes set on bricks and over each is
placed funnel-shaped clay cover. Then
the wicks are lit and the SCOT produced by
the burning mass Is caught on its inside.
This is so delicate an operation that the
workmen watch the slightest change in
the weather, for a small difference in tenn
perature will make big difference in the
quality of the SCOT The finest SCOT is pre-
pared in rooms that absolutely alright.
If there any windows in them they are
covered with paper pasted over them, SO
as to close every crack in the walls
Every little while the workman goes eau
tiousy to a dish and dusts the gathered
SCOT off with feather. Although 1t is so
soft and fine that 1t will float in the tair, 1t
still is not fine enough for the Cinnamon
They put 1t through sleeves, and only after
1t has passed through them Is it considered
fit for mixing with the liquid material that
turns 1t into india ink. Nobody outside
Of the Cinnamon in the secret knows what
this liquid substance is.
After 1t has been mixed, 1t is kneaded
in mortars, which stand in water-baths so
that there shall not be the slightest change
in the temperature.
Then the stuff is shaped into the sticks
that we know. and it is beaten with little
hammers until each stick is perfect After
this the sticks are placed into wooden
forms to harden. The forms have raised
letters carved on them, and these impress
themselves on the sticks. making the trade
marks which are familiar to all users of
India Ink.
Even after the sticks are hard and ap-
pear perfect the Chinaman is not salts
fed. Each stick is wrapped with fine silk
paper and then they are laid into a box. The
obtained from rice straw. Every day the
ashes are taken out and new ashes nut in,
until every bit of moisture has been ex-

with a polisher made of agate
After that, the India ink is considered
ready for market.

with little spicy sauce or ketchup. Some
times the eggs and cheese are placed in the

RUSSIAN PROPHET.
Predicted Japanese Supremacy Nearly
One Hundred Years Ago.

Predicted Japanese Supremacy Nearly
One Hundred Years Ago.
From the New York Times.
That the japanese would one day be
rulers Of the ocean coast Of Asia Is the
prediction made almost a century ago in
the book Of a Russian naval observer,
whose prophecy seems not unlikely Of full
fllment at the present time. In 1911 Cap
tain Vaslll Golawin of the imperial navy
was instructed to- cruise among the coral
archipelagoes of the Pacific to ascertain
which of these were Inhabited by the Japan
csc, and accordingly he set sail from
Odessa in the Diana, arriving some two
months later of the coast Of Yezo. But one
or two copies of Captain Golawin's book are
extant, one Of them being in the library OF
the Winter Palace at st. Petersburg.
Published In 1915. Captain Golawin's
Captivity in Japan" throws an interesting
light upon the physical and moral charac-
teristics of the Japanese nation at time
when little, If anything, definite was known
by Europeans - particularly in Russia - Of
the traits Of the Monaghan island people.

Cola wins book the following are Of cur

SUBSTITUTES FOR MEAT.
Nutritive and Economical Dishes OF
Fish, Eggs and Cheese.

From tie New York Tribune.
The threatened famine Of meat spurs the
wise housewife to look about for something
to take Its place. The substitute must. of
course be equal to meat in nutrittve value,
and cost no more than 1t did before prices
began to soar. This Is fortunately an easier
matter to face In summer than in winter,
though in some families 1t will be difficult
to find anything that will really be as ac-
ceptable as meat
Although meat is strengthening and
stimulating, its nutritive properties are ex-
seeerated in the mind of the average per-
son. Too much meat clogs up the system,
making an unnecessary amount of blood.
1t is said on good authority that only labor
ing men who work outdoors need the blood
making qualities Of meat three times day.
Among the peasants of Europe, however
and they are hardy people-meat Is not
much used, eggs. cheese and milk taking
Its place.
Attractive dishes of fish, cheese and eggs
dressed in new ways are good substitutes
for meat. Nuts are very nutritious, and
II eaten at proper time there is no better
substitute for animal food. Some physi-
ologists go SO far as to assert that nuts
contain more elements of nourishment than
butter and meat combined. When there Ia
a scarcity Of meat 1t is a good plan to serve
nuts quite freely, with plenty Of salt or in
cooked Dishes They are, Of course, not
g0Od In QuaNty at present, ana not an eS-
pecially cheap substitute. Mushrooms are
also wholesome. Peas and beans are rich
in proteds. An appetizing way of serving
baked beans is to place a small onion in
the bottom of the pipkin and bits of butter
on top of the beans to give them a very
rich, brown crust.
Rich fish, like salmon, bluefsh, mackerel
and others. In which the Oil is about evenly
distributed through the flesh, are more
nutritious than Goldfish, halibut and the
dried fish. When most of the oil centers in
the liver, as In the cod, cusk and others.
the flesh of the fish deteriorates rapidly.
When 1t Is evenly divided through the BODY
II gives the fish rich, fine flavor and tends
to preserve it.
Among the many rich cheap fish now in
market bluefish must be considered as one
of the best Cod, halibut, haddcok, Kenne-
bee salmon, Restigouche salmon common
mackerel and Spanish mackerel are also
abundant In this month. and In their best
condition. There are nurnberless other good
