REVIEW TABLE.

The joyous spirit Of Christmas
strikes the keynote for stories, verse
and several Of the miscellaneous arti.
cles In The Designer for December.
among the latter being "Deutsch
spielwaaren for Christmas" by Julia
barrow Cowles, who describes the
interesting toys made for American
youngsters by the little people Of Ger
many; and Holiday Sweetness" by
Frances Peck, instructing how to make
the most delightful dainties. "The
Rise and Fall Of the Christmas-Tree"
tells in pictures what the welLknown
fairy tale does in prose. "Gran'ma
Vosburgs Christmas" by Myra En-
mons. 10 an excellent holiday story ex-
cellently illustrated, and 1.-THE Admis-
sion Ticket" by leila Waters, Is an
other bit of fiction which will please
the children. as will also 'Dollies OF
an Unusual Kind" by Eleanor Mar
chant, and "A Search for Santa Claus"
by Bertha Bush, the latter giving them
q chance to display their talents in
the dramatic and musical line. e

GREEK ATHLETES,
The Way They Ran and the style of
Track They Used, ~

The Way They Ran and the style Of
Track They Used.
"In the foot races of the ancient
Greeks" says writer, "the shape of
the stadium caused a great difference,
since it was not circular, but long and
narrow, with one or both ends semicir-
cular Consequently the runners had
to take sharp turn at the end Of each
lap, while except at the turn they were
running straight course. Evidently
this turn needed much practice, for the
pictures on the old vases show athletes
practicing this one part Of the race as
a kind Of drill, taking each movement
separately.
I'm early times, when all the runners
turned round the same post, the turn
gave opportunities for foul play, and
there are stories of one competitor trip
ping another at the post or selling him
by the hair to prevent his winning.
But later, in the shorter distances at
least, each runner had his own track
and post to turn round, and probably
the separate courses were roped off in
mucn the same way as they are now
In sprint races. For the start elaborate
arrangements were made and at Olym-
pia the stone slabs are still to be seen,
with the grooves at regular intervals
that had to be toed at starting.
Greek long distance men ran in the
most approved style of the present
day. But the sprinters apparently en-
ployed a considerable amount of arm
action and took very long steps, rising
well on to the toes. Then there was the
race in armor, an event highly praised
by several Of the Greek writer's as a
valuable preparation for war and
which is supposed to explain the ia
nous running charge Of the Athenians
at Marathon"

WASHING CLOCK FACES.

Some Timepieces Grow Sofled More
Quickly Than Others.
"pve been washing the faces Of the
city clocks nigh on to ten years, l

American, land before that I did it in
the old country. There aren't many face
washers in this land, and the few who
know the business do we'll at it." He
looked prosperous in his tweed suit and
derby hat. :.
''Is your work anything like that Of
the steeple climber" he was asked.
"Bless you, no." he replied, with
twinkling eye, much amused, 'only in
one thing, and that is that mostly sail
ors take up with the trade. That's be-
cause we're good climbers, you know.
I've washed the faces Of city and
church clocks that were $50 feet from
the ground, and it took me two and
three weeks to do 1t. I'm a practical
clock repairer, too-have to be, you
know-and do my work In a huge
wooden cradle made for the purpose.

years, and SO on. Old Ben, Westmin-,
ster's great clock, is expected to keep
clean fifteen years.
I'm the old days the trade was more
dangerous. We used to work from
scafolds and got many dangerous
falls. Now we have the cradles and all
the filings and comforts, and If man
keeps his head he can work as well as
on the curb. How is the pay? Well,
that's hard to figure, for we work by
the job. We don't clean clock faces in
winter, so we make enough in the
summer to last the year round. OF
course sometimes the clocks are taken
out of their cases and repaired in the
shops. Last year cleared $1,000 and
visited only two other cities, Chicago
and Boston. This year I'll make more,
because building operations have grim

than she had ever seen in the showiest

supplied her enough things to last her

immigration service added nickels and
dimes to her overburdened satchel.

pie live in some of the adjoining
counties. So far little Freda has not

THE. "DlvINE STORM"

Fearful Typhoon That Saved Japan
-. From a Chinese Invasion.
About 600 years ago Japan was
threatened with an invasion from con-
ttnental Asia, much as England was
threatened with invasion by the Span
iards. The beaten Spanish armada
was dispersed by a storm, and Japan
was delivered in much the same way,
but without an engagement. A Jap.
anese writer, Okakura Yoshisabura,
says: "The mighty Kublai, grandson
Of the great Genghiz Khan, naughty
with his resistless army, whose devas-
tating intrepidity taught even Europe
to tremble at the mention of his name,
dispatched an embassy to the Japanese
court to demand the subsection of the
country. The message was indignant
" dismissed. Enraged at this, Kublai
equipped a large number Of vessels
with the choicest soldiers China could
furnish. The invading force was sue
cessful at first and committed massa-
cres In Xxi and Tspshima, islands lying
between Korea and Japan. The posi-
don was menacing. Even the steel
nerves of the trained samurai felt that
strange thrill a patriot knows. Shinto
priests and Buddhist monks were busy
at their prayers. Il
