JAPANESE HAND WARMERS.


If you drop into a shop where Jap
anese novelties are for sale and see
some curious perforated objects that
look like mouth organs" planned on
Oriental lines, don't make the mistake
of buying them for musical instru-
ments. They are kiros, or Japanese
hand warmers.
In the country Of the Mikado they
don't believe in suffering from cold
hands and knees, and the kiro is sim
ply q portable stove that one can tuck
away in his pocket when not needed
1t is simple contrivance, and can be
put inside a pair of large mittens
Sometimes they are fastened to the
knees to keep the legs from getting
cold. Persons out driving or speeding
in an auto need not get frostbitten
toes and fingers if they use kiros.
Fuel suitable for use comes with the
kiro. Enough can be purchased for
fifteen cents to last two months. 1t
is a curious preparation Of charcoal,
and gives off little gas and no smoke.
In Japan those who have to work out
of doors in cold weather carry several
kiros inside their clothing and are able
to face the lowest temperatures.
Many who have used this small
Japanese stove in the sick room boast
that it is much superior to hot water
bags for cold feet or to apply where
pain is felt. A hot water bag is heavy,
is unwieldy to handle, and it's temper
allure is bound to fall.
But the Japanese stoves are small
and light. They can be put right on
the spot where the pain is, and do
not press or weigh too heavily on the
afflicted part The heat is steady, thor
oughly warm, but never unpleasantly
hot, and one piece of fuel lasts two
hours, and is unvarying as to the
quantity of heat thrown out. In fact,
they are very convenient and effec-
tive additions to the housekeeper's
store.

One of the most interesting and
ex-Queen Marie of Hanover, who, at
the age Of eighty-fve is now living a
guet and peaceful life in a villa at
Gmunden, close to the castle of her
son, the Duke of Cumberland. Her
pathetic devotion to her husband,
George V. Of Hanover, in his blindness
and misfortunes has found its reward
in the loving care bestowed on her by.
her son ard daughters in her declin-
ing years. One Of these daughters,
Princess Mary, lives with her; the
other, Princess Frederica. resides

The Princess Frederick is one Of the
many royal personages who have
made morganatic marriages. With
the full approva! of Queen Victoria,
her cousin, she was married at Wind
sor to Baron Won Pawel Rammingen,
Oh April a, 1880, and TO" some years
after that lived at Hampton Court
Palace in an apartment granted her by
the Queen. She is a very handsome,
gifted and charming woman, and her

medium which will do more to
bring people from distance to
Kennewich than any thing that has
been gotten up before.
Present indications point to the
fact there will be two candidates in
field for the Office Of mayor at to-
morrow's election. 1t is stated
with absolute certainty that II. A.
Hover will make an independent
race for the office. 1t is stated
also that all independent candidate
will also come out for the council,
but who the party is and who he
intends to oppose on the regular
ticket we have been unable to as
certain. For a while factional feel
ings seemed likely to disrupt the
incorporation, but now harmony
seem to prevail upon that point,
which speaks well for the public
spirit OF the place. 1t is certainly
commendable that personal, or
factional feelings will not be allow
ed to interfere with the question of
incorporation which is matter Of
public welfare, and that the parti-
san spirit will be satisfied by sub
hitting its differences to the quail
fed voters for a final decision with
out imperiling the future welfare
Of the town. 1t is the inalienable
right Of every voter to cast his bal
lot as he sees fit, and the voters
therefore will be the court Of last
resort. When the decision is once
made harmony will prevail and
things once more resume their for
mer equilibrium. .

The Election Issue.


To morrow the issue will be de-
cided whether Kennewick shall be-
come all incorporated town or
whether it shall not be; whether it
shall advance or retrograde;
whether it shall be numbered among
the progressive places in Our state
or whether it shall lag i'll the rear Of
the procession, torn and dwarfed
through dissension among the citi-
Zens.
1t seems to lis that every voter
should support the issue Of incor-
poration, and that it should carry
the day almost unanimously.
That, if we undo what has
been the end and aim of practically
all the citizens Of this place for the
past year, namely, the incorpora-
ton of the town, it would be a step
in retrogression from which it would
take he town several years to re-
cover. 1t would simply serve
notice to the outside wor!i and to
prospective investors that there is
not enough harmony and coopera-
ton among our citizens to carry out
any object calculated to enhance the
public welfare: it would stigmatize
this place as hot-bed of dissension
whose inhabitants were devoid Of
the public spirit which must privail
in every town which follows i'll the
wake of progress.
We earnestly hope with every
public spirited citizen that the
measure will be carried without
dissenting vote. The only regret
we entertain is that personally we
have no vote for the reason that our
residence is outside Of the corpor-
ton limits.

SIGNS ARE OLD.
In Ancient Greece They Were Used
on Business Houses.

on business hOuStS
The custom Of marking business
house by means Of sign is of very
ancient origin. In the great cities Of the
east aud among the ancient Egyptians
such Il practice must have been unnec-
essary, as all trades were classified
aud confined TO certain sections of the
city, and then all wares We're exposed
to full view as they were displayed in
open booths.
The history Of Grecian signboards is
meager Yet the illusions of Aris-
tophancs and Lucian to signboards war
rant our belief in their use by the
Greeks. Athennus tells us, He hung
the well known sign in front of his
house"
Advancing to Roman times, there is
abundant evidence of signs, as the dis
coyeries of Pompeii and Heraculaneum
amply testify. In the Eternal City
some Of the streets derived their names
from signs. Just as hundreds of London
streets have been 50 named. The Ro-
man street Vicus Ursi Pileau was
named from the sign. for, as the name
indicates. il was the street OF The
Bear With the Hat on" But it was
not until late in the fifteenth century
