STOVE IN HIS POCKET.
Chinese Ward Or Winters RigOra b.
Carrying Hand Furnaces When
Mercury Is Low.

The contented smile of the heather
Chinee" may be partially accounted for
by their indifference to the coldness OF
the winter months. For IN the north
of China, says the New York Herald,
they care not whether they be indoors
or out; they always have a stove with
them in the shape of hand furnace
Instead of the fire being placed in the
house it is carried about the person. be-
meath the thickly padded cotton gar
ments or in the hand; at times it is
placed beneath the chair on which the
celestial Is seated The discovery of
this unique method of avoiding win
ter's rigors was made by traveller in
Fu-kien province, whose attention was
attracted to the universal and peculiar
deformities of the inhabitants. Strange
swellings projected in the most unac
countable places on the anatomy of the
villagers. Speculations were set at rest
by an old gentleman, who removed his
coat and disclosed a small copper fur
mace secured around his waist by
band and neatly covered with basket
work. This artificial mode of warming
the body is only resorted to in time OF
extreme cold, as on ordinary occasions
the people deem their thick clothing
sufficient protection during winter.

FACTORY RUN BY WIND.
Air Motors Supply Power to Two
Plants in Germany for Generating
Electricity for Lighting.

For more than two years two small
factories, one near Leipsic, the othe:
near Hamburg, have been driven sue
cessfully by windmills, which are also
used as a means Of generating cleo
tricity for lighting purposes, says the
Elektrotechnischer Anzeiger.
The windmills have a diameter Of
about Is feet and are mounted on the
roof of the works
To insure reliability, the wind wheel
itself has no moving parts, the speed
regulation being obtained by turning
the windmill so as to vary the angle
under which the wind impinges upon
the sails, which are built of steel sheets.
This is performed by small auxiliary
wind motor, and is said to be done so
quickly and accurately that the voltage
of the dynamo remains practically
constant throughout the range of or
binary wind pressures.
An automatic switch cuts out the bat
terry connected in parallel with the dy-
namo as soon as the wind falls below a
certain point.

ALGERNON SMITHERS.

Algie Smithers came accounting.
Came accounting Kitty Gray:
Algie Smithers slow and steady,
Came accounting many a day.
Many a day she used TO wonder
What was Algies last intent,
But by none of her devices
Could she learn what Algie meant.
Not a word of marriage said he,
Never tried 10 hold her hand;
And when she made her coy advances,
Didn't seem to understand.
Still he kept Accounting, kitsy
In his own peculiar style:
Had a fit if Kitty ever
Gave another man a smile.
Once he took her on the river.
And somewhere along its banks
Caught a turtle which he gave her
She received the same with thanks.
HONS she took the turtle with her,
And she named it Algie-Oh.
How her friends ali laughed with Kitty
And at Algie, don't you know
Algie listened to the laughing
Listened long before he spoke;
Then he asked them, quite indignant:
Say. l say now, what's the joke

ORIENTAL SCHOOL LIFE.
The Children Find 1t Something Dif-
ferent from 81 Holiday
Season.

The beginning of school days is crit
ical period in the life of a boy or girl in
oriental countries In the first place, the
priest or astrologer must be consulted to
choose a lucky day. Every precaution
must be taken to avert the jealousy OF the
gods, whose malice is especially directed
against fine boy.
The Chinese father, who adOres his
son. will take the utmost pains to con-
vince the powers of the air that the boy
is of no account. The child may be Civ
en- a despicable name, like flea, or Chu-
tie, a pig, or, more insulting still, he
may be given a girls name. The boy
NAV be started off to school wearing a
girls dress and one earring and If the
deception is complete this will be the
most effectual of all, for even the gods
do not care for girls in China.
The Japanese schOolbOy wears hang
ing from his belt little red bag, con-
tanning brass tag, with his name and
his parents name and address upon it.
He must have his paper umbrella and
his fan, and in gay bag upon his arm
is a Jar of rice for his luncheon. This
quaint little fellow has probably made
his offering at his own private shrine to
Tenjinsen, the god of penmanship.
When the Hindoo boy has found an
auspicious day to begin school he is
taken to the god Of learning, Sarasvati
Here the little supplicant presents his
offerings of rice and betelnuts and re-
peats the letters of the alphabet after the
priest. Thus is he entered into the ways
of knowledge in the very presence of
the god.

SONGS OF THE OJIBWAS.
The One Bea ut full Type of FOlk-Songs
Wholly Indigenous to This
-~>'.- Cont tinent.

In an interesting article on Indian
music in the Southern Workman, Fred
erick R. Burton writes as follows of
the songs of the Ojibwas:
Composition of melody does not re-
quire education. Writing it is quite
another matter, but for ages the learn
ed composers have recognized that the
most potent melody is that which orig
mates with simple people. When the
songs of nation are expressed in peri
odic form, it follows that the people.
musically considered, have taken
long stride out of savagery. Applying
these observations to the music of our
North American Indian, l find that in
all tribes, except the Ojibwa, there is
only a crude manifestation of form. "A
reaching out for it is clear enough in
some instances, and more rarely there
is semblance of a period, but in the lat
ter instances it is attained through. a
monotonous repetition of a single
phrase. In the songs of the OjibWas
there seldom occurs one that is not
couched in a we'll defined period, and
this is the chief technical or structural
difference that distinguishes the music
of this tribe from that of others. The
form of the Ojibwa song is usually per-
feet, and that is why the layman would
naturally refer to it as a tune.
"Unhappily the Ojibwas are inclined
as they come in contact with civiliza-
ton, to neglect their own songs. using
in preference the songs of the paleface.
Sc ;c Ito, HI
are losing one of the finest distinctive
features of their ancient life, and we
are in danger of losing the one beau
tiful type of folk-songs which is wholly
indigenous to this continent"

For Winter Use.

In Cashmere they have a novel
method of putting fodder up for win
ter use The country lies in valley
among the Himalayas. The chief in
dustry of the people consists in raising
fine wool, and in making this into fab
RIGS which have carried the name OF
the country all over the. world. AS in
winter snow lies some five or six yards
deep, supplies of hay are hung among
the branches of trees, where they are
easily reached by the flocks OF sheep.

Fods of n Princess.

Princess CIementine is collector of
picture postcards, and during her va
rious journeys with her father, King
Leopold, she has pursued her hobby
with such energy and diligence that
she possesses one of the best collec-
tions of the kind in Europe. Her royal
highness now proposes to collect post
age stamps, and it is reported that she
has commissioned a Belgian courtier
who is an expert philatelist to pur-
chase for her the best collection that

MAUI BASEBALL.

WAILUKU, May G.-The game play
ed last Sunday between the Morning
Stars and Kahuluis did not come up to
The Kahului team made
three runs in the first inning and gave
their opponents goose; in the next
inning the Mornng Stars made four
runs and from then on piled up until
the score stood is to in favor of the
Stars, the Kahuluis were very weak in
their battery and it did not take much
for the Stars to find them. Several
good plays were made by the Stars
The best was a triple play from pitcher
Ned Kruger, who caught a pop fly to
second base, where Lloyd was put out;
the ball was then thrown to the home
plate where Morris was caught running
home. Another interesting play was
where William Walsh of the Kahuluis
was caught stealing second, when there
was a man on third base. There was a
very large crowd to witness the game
which however did not prove to be
as interesting as expected.
