This and That.

Katherine Cecil Thurston's latest
success. 1.-The Masquerader, is a
singular concoction of strong character
and doubtful morals. Two men not
related but resembling each other
secretly change places. One is mar
risd, the other is a bachelor. The
story is stirring with life, full Of en-
ergy and is only disappointing to the
tender hearted who can scarcely enter
the spirit with which the writer winds
up the closing chapters of the novel.
"The Masquerade" was published
serially in Harper's magazine and but
recently came out in book form. 1t ID

story that she became 30 interested in

magazine beseeching him to allow hel
to read the advance chapters of hii
interesting serial before they could
come to the public as she feared deatt
would take her away before Harper

Music In Japan.

Japanese girls of the upper and
middle classes learn to play the
koto," while those of the lower
orders usually learn the :" samisen." :"
The " koto " is a narrow. horizontal
instrument about Ave feet long. with
sounding board. upon which are
stretched strings supported by ivory
bridges. 1t is played by means OF
ivory finger tips. The player sits
before the instrument on the floor in
the ordinary posture. and when she
touches the strings she often sings
a soft accompaniment.
The samisen is kind of banjo.
and is often played during theatrical
performances and recitations. 1t
gives forth dull and monotonous tones.
The teaching C: these two popular
musical instruments is said to be
largely in the hands of blind men and
women.

objects that looked like spots OF fire

upon one of the rafters. The boys
descended. got lightwood knot. and

When onions Are odorIes..

How many times has every fiat
dweller entered his home only to cry
out in disgust because the odor of
the onion or the turnip or something
else has permeated the entire six or
seven rooms?
Lets stop having such things for
dinner" he suggests to his wife.
why it's mortifying to invite friend
to dine when one knows this sort of
atmosphere is going to knock him
down as soon as he enters the door"
As a matter of fact. there is no need
for excluding the onion or the other
offending eatables. The simplest way
in the world to solve the difficulty is
this: Have the cook put into the
cooking vessel with your onions Just
a piece of stale bread about as big
as your fist. Somehow or other the
bread absorbs the odors. and you
don't know onions are on your menu
until you sit down at the table.

Would not Leave It's Dinner.


Dan Beard tells this curious yarn
about a hornet:
One day while we were eating din
ner in our log house in the woods of
Pike county. Pa. we were entertained
by a number of white-faced hornets
which were busy catching the flies
that hovered over the table. They
even caught the flies from the back
of my hand and lifted them gently
from the bald spot on my head.
One hornet pounced upon a fly
which was busy rubbing its two
front legs together. as 1t chung with
the other four to the fringe of the
table-cloth. Buzz as the hornet
would. It could not carry away that
fly. II had gathered up scme fibres
OF cloth along with its prey and was
unable to pull the table-cloth along
with 1t.
AS sat laughing at It's futile efforts
| saw that in its occasional pauses
the hornet itself seemed to have an
idea as to what held the fly, for 1t
would nip off a fibre here and there
and try again. At length. In despair.
It ceased its efforts and devoured the
fly then and there.
Afterwards 1t caught another fly
from the butter dish, and with his
last victim in Its claws and its first
