Japnnese Commandments.

If was Prince Shotoku who in the eighth century organized the adminis- trative system of Japan and laid down those rules which are still called "The Constitution" From their nature the word "commandments" would be to Western ears more appropriate. In part the ancient writing runs:
 Concord and harmony are priceless, obedience to established principles is the first duty of man. That the upper classes should be in unity among them- selves and intimate with the lower, and that all matters in dispute should be submitted to arbitration-that is the way to place society on basis of strict justice.
 Imperial edicts must be respected. The sovereign is to be regarded as the heaven, his subjects as teh earth; as the sovereign shows the way, the sub ject follows it.
 Courtesy must be the rule of con- duct for all ministers and officials of the Government Social order and due distinction between the classes can only be preserved by strict conformity with etiquette
 "To punish the evil and reward the good Is humanity's best law. good deed should never be left unrewarded or an evil unrebuked.
 "To be just one must have faith. Every affair demands a certain meas ure of faith on the part of those who deal with it. Every question whatever it's nature or tendency, requires for its settlement an exercise of faith and authority
 Anger should be curbed and wrath cast away. The faults of another should not cause our resentment
 "To chide a fault does not prevent It's repetition, nor can the censor himself be secure from error The sure road to success Is that trodden by the people in unison.
 Those in authority should never har- bor hatred or jealousy of one another. Hate begets hate and jealousy Is blind.
 "The imperative duty of man in his capacity of a subject is to sacrifice his private interest to the public good. Egoism forbids cooperation, and with out cooperation there cannot be any great achievement"

TELLS WHY INDIANS PAINT.
Apache Relates Legend Which Accounts
 for Hla People,s CustOm.

for His Peoples Custom.
 Once an old Apache Indian. when asked the question why his people painted their faces, tild this little legend:
 Long ago. when men were weak and an- imaIs were big and strong a chief of the red men who lived in these mountains went out to get a deer. for his people were hun gry-
 After walking all day he saw a deer and shot at 1t, but the arrow turned aside and wounded a mountain lion, which was also after the deer. When the lion felt the sting of the arrow he jumped up anu bounded after the man. who ran for his life
 felt his strength giving way. he fell to the ground, calling on the big bear. who, you know. is the grandfather of men, to save him
 The big bear heard the call and saw that to save the man he had to act quickly, 20 he scratched his foot and sprinkled his blood over the man.
 Now. you must know that no animal will eat of the bear or taste Of his blood. So when the lion reached the man he smelled the blood and turned away, but as ne did so his foot scraped the face of the man. leaving the marks of his claws on the blood smeared face.
 When the man found that he was un- injured he was SO thankful that he left the blood 10 dry on his face and never wash ed 1t at all but left 1t until 1t peeled off
 Where the claws of the lion scraped it off there were marks that turned brown in the sun, and where the blood stayed on it was lighter. Now all men paint their faces that way with blood and serape it off in streaks when they hunt or go to war"

test against the persecution of both priests and nuns by the French Gov ernment, Bishop Macs said that he could not answer the question off-hand, because some of the invited prelates from distant parts of the country have not yet arrived, but personally he e1. pressed the wish that before the Con- gress adjourned. stinging resolutions would be passed denouncing the French Government for it's persecution and banishment of priests and sisters. He said also that true liberty is in this country for God, the church and the soul.

AT BIJOU THEATRE,
Good Production of '"The Sign of the
 FOur' by Edwards Comnanx.


 A fair-sized but appreciative audi ence saw production of The Sign of the Four" by Walter Edwards anu Company at the Bijou Theatre last night.
 The presentation of Conan Doyle's great detective story was in some TO- spects remarkable and the suspicious opening augurs a successful engage ment in Montgomery for the clever stock company.
 MT. Edwards Is justly recognized as an actor of ability. His work in the potent character of Sherlock Holmes was cleverly done though at times he permitted his personality to overlap his artistic sense, just for a moment or more. This small lapse is the.great- est to be mentioned of Mr. Edwards and 1t was so insignificant in compari- son with his intelligent conception and rendition of the part that 1t must be said his portrayal was altogether sat- lsfying.
 A fine physique and strong features. coupled with a well modulated voice contribute materially to the success of MT. Edwards. His makeup and the ever undisturbed poise of the great de- tective was portrayed in artistic fash lon.
 Miss Marion Lorne. in the leading female part, Mary Marston, gave a most excellent presentation. She is as dainty as a flower and possesses a pret- ty face and figure.
 Miss Lorne has learned the lesson of restraint. She did not appear to be acting. Her naturalness is the domi- nant feature of her work without one whit of staginess. An enthusiastic ad- mirer of her acting might say she was every bit as good as Miss Effle Shan- non in the role. and the statement would not be far short of truth. Miss Lorne will be a favorite at the Bitou Miss Jane Wheatley showed ability and keen Judgment in the handling oI the character part. Mrs. John Sholto the villanous wife of Major Sholto. She reads effectively and she contributed largely to the excellence of her work by her fine facial expression.
 As Tonga. the East Indian dwarf Charles Troy did merit itorious work He spoke few lines but his excellent make up and stage presence made favorable impression.
 Another bit of clever character work was contributed by Richard Cochrane as Major Sholto.
 The other members of the company did the little that fell to them as well as could have been expected.
 The Edwards Company carries cor rect scenic appurtenances and the play was effectively staged.
 This company will be at the BiJou all of this week and The Sign of the Four" will be repeated tonight.

SEEDED RAIsINs.
Process Has Developed into q Great In- dustry in the West.

uustry m thc west Philadelphia Record.
 It is said that sixty per cent. of the grapes grown in California are turned into raisins. This industry is not more than dozen years old, and it now em- plOys one thousand five hundred per- sons. The raisins are dried and par tially stemmed on the orchards where they are grown and then shipped to the factories where they are seeded.
 At the seeding plants the raisins are dumped from these rough boxes. technical term, preparatory to seeding. First the raisins are subjected to a dry temperature of one hundred and forty degrees F., after which they are chill ed, and after being subjected to the lat ter process they become as hard and dry as a bean. Then they are in shape to go through the final process of stemming, which takes off the short stem remaining on the raisin when 1t comes from the packing house. The raisins are then put through a rubbing machine which has the effect to remove the short stem mentioned and leave the raisin In it's simple form.
 Then the raisin Is subjected to a moist heat of one hudred and thirty degrees which has the effect of mak- ing them soft and pliable. Then 1t Is sent on to the seeding machine, where 1t passes between a pair of pure rubber l rolls and Is then impaled upon a roll of small saws which presses the seed out through the surface of the raisin. The saw roll with the raisin thus fIn- paied. revolves and passes over a flick ering device, which whisks off the seed. leaving the raisin still impaled on the saw roll The saw roll, stiil revolving, pa sess around until the seeded raisin strikes a series of fingers. which frees tho raisin from the roll. The raisins then pass through q system of ehutes. and gro packed hy girls in one-pound cartons
