HYGIENE Oh THE IAPANFSE.

The unique progress of Japan and the
remarkable efficiency of its people in
everything they undertake suggests
some interesting questions as to the in
fiuence of diet and personal hygiene on
national welfare. The British Medical
Journal says that the japanese them
selves attribute their high average Of
physical strength to a plain and frugal
diet and the system Of gymnastics call
ed jiu-iitsu, which includes a knowledge
Of anatomy and of the external and
internal uses of water
Although during the period of their
ascendency the Samurai kept the secret
that their great physical superiority
was due in a great measure TO the in
ternal and external use OF water, the
belief that If used literally and intel
ligently water is an infallible weapon
against disease is now generally held
By those who go IN for jiu-jitsu an
average of one gallon a day is drunk
II is noteworthy that rheumatism Is
almost unknown in Japan: II is prob
able that the absence of meat from the
diet. combined with the use Of plenty OF
water, accounts for this immunity.
Bathing is INDUCED In frequently even
BY the poorest. In the matter Of diet
they are frugal TO a degree. rice being
the staple food in every Japanese house
and appearing at every meal.
Japanese troops have often made rec
ord marches on a diet consisting solely
Of a little rice. The Japanese appre-
ciate above ali things the value Of fresh
air. night and day they keep their win
dows open and their rooms ventilated.
and they do not fear drafts OF damp
air. Breathing exercises are an inpor-
deep, careful breathing, which Is only
acquired by practice.-Baltimore sun

An aged Juggler, who tramped from

especially to the Virgin Mary, to whom
he was very devoted. 1t was not in his
power TO celebrate her virtues by elo-
quenr sermons or beautiful verses, nor
could he paint fine pictures or carve
statues to be erected in her honor.
But one day he was struck by a happy
thought. and he FASTENED to the church
at a moment when IT was deserted, re-
turning every day at the same hour
The priest attached to the church be-
came curious, and at last watched the
juggler and was not a little surprised to
find him before the altar dedicated TO
the Virgin Mary. standing upon HIS

voice is far beyond her years. and her
manner of interpreting her numbers is
such as usually characterizes older
