CHRISTIANS IN JAP DIET.
Although Only Seven Of Them, They
Possess Infiuence Beyond
Their Numbers.

The whole number Of members of
the Japanese diet is $40. and OF them
seven are Christians, including one
Baptist, two Congregationalists and
four Methodists. The Christian repre-
sentation is thus In minority OF to
"a, but 1t is influential beyond that pro-
portion. In the population at large
there is, roughly speaking, only one
Christian in 10000 little leaven in a
great mass, but its effect is visible and
recognized even by those who are not
nominally Christians. In old Japan.
Shintoism, Buddhism and Confuclanism
all encouraged absolutism and feudal-
ism, while constitutional government,
representative institutions and local
self-government are fruits Of Christian
civilization. II is favored by good
many who make no open profession Of
It. and is particularly valued as an in
strument Of social and moral reforms
1t has long road to travel in that coun-
try before 1t satisfies the desires Of its
propagandists, but the road is open.
and there Is no opposition worth speak
ing Of but rather spirit of receptivity
and encouragement.

sUPERsEDE MEN COOKS.
Families Of Wealth and Fashion Re-
place Chef de Cuisine with
Product Of Schools.

In private families Of wealth and
fashion there rs a tendency to replace
the French chef de cuisine with the
woman cook, says the Philadelphia
Record, and the change, which started
among some Of the most prominent
summer residents Of Newport, seems
likely to extend. It Is not the result,
however, Of any fad, nor has 1t been pre-
concerted or widely discussed. There
are, Of course, fashions In cooking as
in everything else, but the increasing
frequency Of the woman In the kitchen
is due, according to an authority, sim
ply to the fact that cooking schools, de-
spite all the ridicule that Is heaped
upon them, are bearing fruit Young
women who see their future In domestic
service are more and more availins
themselves of the opportunity Of ac-
quiring the science of this work. With
this knowledge and the training that
goes with 1t they command better pay;
but this is not yet and probably never
win be, equal to that Of the man chef

Al temperature of 104 degrees at an ordi-
nary bath is as hot as most people can
endure. will not here dwell upon the
effects of dry heat or upon the heat from
incandescent bodies, as the matter Of
light In the latter case is very closely as
ISOLATED with heat. II you will bear in
mind the fact that freckles are produced
almost entirely by the violet rays in
ordinary sunlight. you will see what
remarkable results may be produced by
the use OF light alene. 1t Is because OF
these facts that so many natoriums are
using lights IN their method of treat
ment.
In a very general way heat is essential
to all life, especially 10 the higher organ
isms, while many seeds and the similar
forms of life have been able to with
stand very low temperatures. None OF
the higher forms can survive tempera-
ture lower than the freezing point OF
water, namely, 80 degrees. Fahrenheit.
The seeds have been subjected to the
temperature Of liquid afr which is 800
degrees below zero on the Fahrenheit
scale, and have not had their vitality de-
stroyed. Snakes and frogs may be frozen
in ice for several hours without being
killed, but these conditions do not apply
to any Of the higher forms. Heat gener-
ally increases chemical activity, and OF
course effects the change in the cells OF
the human body In q similar manner.
That it produces direct effect on the
skin may be observed from the discolor-
alton that follows the long and fire.
quent application of heat poultices to the
same areas Of the skin. The nrst direct
effect Of hot water upon the skin Ia OF
course just the opposite from that Of the
cold water, small vessels are dilsted and
the skin reddens as a result Of the in
creased flow of blood. This Is where the
water Is at temperature oAfrom 100 to
104 degrees, u the temperature is In
creased above 10 degrees the first effect
is similar to that Of very cold water.
Goose-fiesh is produced the same as 1t
is with extreme cold, and sometimes
there is slight shiyering. In dealing
with cold think neglected to say that
the extremely low temperature produced
an effect similar to extreme heat. Liquid
air burning or cooking the skin in the
same or similar manner that boiling
water does.

THE BEST EARLY BIRDS,
Are the Travellers Who Get Up WheE
They Are Called on
Time,

A college student who had been chas-
ing the nimble dollar during vacation by
selling agricultural implements to farm
ers In the middle west was telling few
friends in a downtown cafe something
about early trains. says the Chicago In
ter Ocean,
"You fellows who stay right here IN
town." he said, where you can catch a
train for anywhere at almost any hour
of the day or night, don't know what you
have to be thankful for. Compared with
some Of these western roads. even the
depleted schedule Of the Dog River line
looks as swift as the elevated road serv-
Ice. For instance, last week was IN
Plymouth, Ind. ! wanted TO tale an
early train to Rochester, In the same
state. left word With the clerk to be
called early. About 4: As. when the por-
ter banged at my door, chased him and
went to sleep again. When went
downstairs at seven o'clock remarked
with some sarcasm, to the clerk that
when said an early train did not mean
midnight
"'Well, he replied, take all the time
you want over your breakfast The next
train does not leave until 5i46 this eVea-
ing.
THAT was q fact. boys. There were
only two trains day from that town:
never had been any more, and probably
never will be-"
''If you had been travelling about the
country as much az have, said a the
atrical man, "you would know that In
rural communities ali through the west
and south there are only two trains q
day--one early In the morning and the
other somewhere near the corresponding
hour In the evening. Theatrical COM
panies must, Of course. catch the morn
ing train, or they cannot reach the next
town on the route in time for the even
ing performance. Hiring special in
these places Is much like chartering an
airship to the moon. The company
simply must catch the morning train.
and 1t lie the road managers place to
see that 1t is done.
ut is not the acting that wears out
men and women on a long trip Of one
night stands. 1t is getting up early In
the morning for trains and wearisome
days in the cars. And want to say that
it Is not the women who Worry the life
out Of a manager by getting to the sta
ton Just as the train is coming to stop.
So far as one-nfght stands are concerned,
the dawdling woman and the impatient
man, OF the humorist are not in the pic
ture. It is the tardy actor who stops for
just one more drink and cigar, or who
hates to leave bootblack's chair with
only one shoe polished, that manages to
jump on the rear platform when the
train is pulling out The women in the
company are on time. all right"

Apprenticeship pranks: About thou
sand years ago. approximately, was
apprenticed as printers devil to learn
the trade, in common with three other
boys OF about my own age. There
came to the village long-legged indi-
vidual Of about 10, from one OF the In
terror counties-6sh-eyed no express
sion, and without the suggestion Of q
smile-couldn't have smiled for sal
airy. We took him for fool, and
thought we would scare him to death.
I'VE went to the village druggist and
borrowed a skeleton. The skeleton did
not belong to the druggist, but he had
imported 1t for the village doctor. The
price OF the skeleton was $50 We bof-
rowed it about one o'clock at night, and
we got this man-Nicodemu Dodge was
his name-to 60 down out Of the way,
and then we put 1t In his bed He
lived in little one-storied log cabin
in the middle of vacant lot We left
him to get home by himself. We en-
joyed the result in the light of anticl-
patton, but by-and-by We began to drop
into silence.
THE possible consequences were
preying upon US. Suppose that it
frightens him into madness, overturns
his reason and sends him screeching
through the streets? We shall spend
sleepless nights the rest of our days.
Everybody was afraid. BY and by 1t was
forced to the lips of one of US that we
had better go at once and see what had
happened. Loaded down with crime we
approached the hut and peeped through
the window That long-legged critter
was sitting on the bed with a hunk OF
gingerbread in his hand, and between
the bites he played a tune on a jews
harp. There he sat perfectly happy,
and all around him were toys and gim-
cracks and striped candy. He had gone
and sold that skeleton for FIVE dollars!
"The druggists $50 skeleton was
gone. We went in tears to the druggist
and explained the matter. We couldn't
have raised that $50 in $50 years. We
were getting board and clothing for the
first year, clothing and board for the
second year, and both of them for the
third year. But the druggist for
gave u.s." i.

received long letter last week from
young mother who was greatly trou-
bled by child which, although only two
years old, insisted upon having his own
way at certain times, and would fight for
hours on until completely exhausted. and
refuse to yield. Such child at the pres
emit day is special study, and that moth
er who succeeds in properly training
her young Is wise indeed. In these days
of nervous strain some children, from
the very first, are so highly strung and
intensely sensitive that they shrink
from a sharp work more than healthy
child would from the sting of whip. A
curt reprimand will bring the tears will
ing to their eyes and sob to the throat.
1t Is no good to get angry with such chill
dren for the weakness.
Children are very like flowers; each
one. needs individual treatment, and
for nervous natures like this. care, kind
ness and affection will do far more than
seedlings. BY which do not mean that
they should be given way to and spoiled.
but that reproof should be administered
with discretion, and faults pointed out
gravely and kindly. so that the child
may realize that you are not angry, but
only sorry.
In this special case I advised that the
child be at once undressed and put into
bath, although bathing the entire head
In cool water might answer the purpose
Just as we'll. A careful study Of the
foregoing lectures upon the effect Of
cool water applied locally, will readily
explain the reason.
