Japan as Our Customer.

According to an article in the Ger
man Export Review, quoted in the Con-
sular Reports, the materials needed
for ship-building are bought in England.
Even big ships built for Japan in
Germany years ago were ordered to
Armstrong;, in England, for their
armament Recently Krupp and the
French firm of Schneider are prefer
red.
The fact that England and the Unit
ed States are favored is shown by
the purchase of material for the Yoke
hama water works. In calling for
bids it was provided that the cocks
come from England and the water
meters from England or the United
States, the names Of the firms even
being specified.
Locomotives for the railroads in
Corea are bought exclusively in the
United States, presumably because
they are more quickly obtainable there.
The friendship for the United States
is increasing.-New York World.

The Fairy Gifts,

This is new and pretty ending to a
frolic. The Fairy Godmother should
be dressed in Mother Hubbard cos
tune, carrying basket under her
cloak She announces that she has a
number of gifts to distribute. She
passes to each folded paper, caution
ing each that the contents must be
kept secret. One has written upon it
Wealth" one Honor" and one
Fame Those whose papers contain
names of gifts are blindfolded and led
up to the fairy before whom they
kneel, saying:
Most gracious fairy, the gift you
give,
| shall treasure and keep as long
as l live.
She hands the paper to the fairy,
who reads aloud Wealth" Turning
to a basket, she takes from it new
dustpan to which is tied a ribbon
loop. She then recites or reads:
Your choice is bad when you in
trust
rust
In time turn all your wealth to
dust.
She then hangs the dustpan around
the girls neck.
The next person repeats the perform
ance, kneeling before the iairy.
The fairy says:
Your honor crowds shall loud declare,
But in your heart no crowd is there
You'll find alas that honor's air.
She presents pair of bellows, blow
ing a puff as she hangs them around
his or her neck.
For Fame" the fairy bestows
wreath of roses. Adjusting them as
a crown, she says:
When Fame doth weave a laurel
wreath,
He weaves this subtle charm be-
meath,

An Amusing Trick.

All that is necessary is a napkin
ring. At the table is a good time to
try tiff you are allowed.
Insert the two forefngers into the
ring from different sides, and turn the
fingers around each other slowly, let
ting the direction be away from the
body. Close the finger and thumb of
each hand around the ring, and bring
the tips of the four together. Open
them and drop the ring. This sounds
simple, but if one succeeds in a half
dozen attempts it is astonishing. The
important fact to get into ones
head is, when the tips of the fingers
and thumbs are brought together, the
tips of the fingers of the right hand
must rest on the thumb of the left,
and vice versa. In opening keep the
fingers and thumbs joined together,
perfectly still, and the ring will at
once be free
Capital fun may be had with this
trick if one not knowing the secret
endeavors to do it.

Nutshell Boats.

These must be prepared before by
splitting an English walnut directly in
half. Remove the kernel and place
short piece of string in the she'll
pouring melted beeswax around it. The
wax is melted into cone shapes with
the end Of the string coming out of
the top.
Tapers are then lighted and the
craft is launched upon tub Of water
which represents the sea of life.
When the light burns until the wax
is melted the bark rides the waves
made by stirring the water with
stick, happy and long life is pre-
dicted.
If the two boats sail side by side
the owners will pass their lives to-
gether. If boat clings to the side
of the tub, refusing to start out, the
owner will be stay-at-home person.
Sailing out and touching the sides
of the tub frequently indicates short
voyages, while extended travel is pre-
dicted when the boat seldom touches
the tub.

A WONDERFUL CAVE.

~nations-- Is OF Great gxtehS

Secretary Hitchcock Tells About s
aations-cavern is Of Great Extehs
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
tslls an interesting story OF Wind
Cave, National Park, South Dakota
near the Black Hills.
The entrance to the cave is aboud
II miles southeast Of the town ID
Custer and II miles east of the town
of Black Hills, S. D., and is in a deep
rayine, with hills sloping back TO AMI
elevation OF from 60 to 120 feet. The
cavern is of great extent, having many
miles Of galleries branching and
recticulating along the joint plaHfsl
of the carbon.ferious limestone. ThsfeI
are numerous chambers Of consider]
able size, and aptly named from some|
popularity Of formation or natural
decoration, reminding one OF the OBJ
ject after which it is designated.
Among others, the following ara|
characteristic designations: The
Bridges chamber; Snowfall roomI
with walls and ceilings all spotted withI
gypsum formation which looks lkd
fakes OF snow; the Postoffice, with ii
boX-work formation clinging to theI
limestone formation all about and owl
erhead; the Red hall, with sides Oh
soft red stone which is said to hayel
a commercial value in the maDufacture1
Of paint; the Opera-house, being am
immense room, grand in the formation
of box work and varied colors 0F
rocks that form the arch oyerheadE
the Devils Outlook, an enormous
crevice reaching So feet above, shows
ing how the water has cut and ground
the rocks until sharp corner cannon
be found; Capitol Hill, with its high
dome ceiling, in the center OF which,
nature has placed a centerpiece Oh
most beautiful box work; Odd Fellowsf
Hall, with three links in the ceilingE
formed by three holes cut out by then
rushing water; the Stone Quarry, with
great slabs of stone of a pink tintN
broken away as straight as If cut and
piled up fer large building; the
Garden of Eden, with it's lnagnificent
frost work and box work, coated WITH
a pure white frost, and the edges
trimmed with little white balls rem
sembling popcorn, and lcng frost!
petals, with Noah's beard hanging
from a little pointed rock from thid
frost work with slender strings like
fine silver wire fully two feet long
words are inadequate to describe thid
spot; Corckscrew Path, winding trail
leading to Dante's Inferno; Mont#
Cristo Palace, the Fair ground, thd
Alpine pass and the Blue grotto.
1t is suggested that in ages gond
this cave was doubtless filled with
water, which has left it's marks al
about it, and by the deposits has
formed the beautiful frost work, bu
now there are few places where any
moisture is perceptible.

Music as a Remedy in Medicine.

Following the reading of paper Oh
Music as a Therapeutic Agent" bH
DR.. Francis S. Kennedy before thd
Medical Society of the County Of
Kings, two methods of administration
were demonstrated, one by the piand
and the other by the voice. and an enI
deavor made by each method to illusI
trate the different Impressions which
could be conveyed to the listenerl
Just as drug should be put up in 1
clean package, and as free from adult
iteration as possible, so music as
medicine should be as free from errot
of technique as possible. For thia
reason, in demonstrating the piand
music, mechanical piano player wal
used, so that no false tone should MAI
the harmony and effect.
The following examples were then
rendered: AS restful music, yet sufhE
GENTLY stimulating to keep the mind

Channinn Words.

1t was summer vacation. Rob and
Jennie had gone into the country &c
grandpa's farm for a visit, and now
it was the early evening at the close
of the first day.
1t had been a day trimming over
with pleasure. The work seemed like
play, and there were so many interest
ing animals to get acquainted with.
From the least wee chicken, first
Matched, to the great Percheron horses,
they were all fascinating.
But after supper and milking time
the children were ready to sit quietly
on the piazza and rest There was
hammock there, and Rob got into
1t. Il suppose mammals thinking about
us now he said, in a low tone.
Eyes" responded Jennie, Il guess
she is. I wish"
But she did not say what she wished,
which was that she could snuggle down
close to mamma while the twilight
deepened and have goodnight kiss
before she went to bed, for she guessed
that Rob was a little homesick; and
she, being two years older than he,
must be brave and bright for his sake.
So she broke her wish short off and
said, Let's change words. You choose
the words"
Pig to hen," said Rob.
There was a moment of silence, then
Jennie said, "Ive got it; pig, pin, pen,
hen" She had made a different word
each time by changing one letter, and
so at last made the word she wanted
1t was game they often played in the
twilight at home, and they had learned
a good many words by'it
Cat to dog said Jennie.
'Pah That's easy" said Rob, al
most at once Cat, cot, dot, dog.
Let's have harder ones. Barn to door"
"I've -" began Jennie
81 have, too" put in Rob. whats
yours?"
Barn, born, boon, moon, moor,
door"
II went through the door first" said
Rob. Door, poor, boor, boon, born,
barn"
Z Il guess it would be pretty hard to
change oats to anything-or calf.
They don't look like other words. We
could try, though; oats to calf"
In a few minutes grandma came
Here you are!" she said. Aren't you
getting sleepy?"
'I'm not much" said Jennie. We're
playing a game"
Grandma bent over the hammock.
at must be funny game she said.
Hes fast asleep"
But the next day they got it. Rob
had calf, half, halt, hart. cart. cars,
cats, oats; and Jennie had calf, call,
paff, pale, pate, path, oath, oats.--

The Elrct RalIroad Car.


In the very center OF the historic rail-
road exhibit in the Palace OF Transpor-
tation at the Worlds Fair stands the
first car that was drawn over rails by
a steam locomotive. More than that,
it stands on the very rails that were
put down in the year 1900 and these
are on the stones that formed a part
of the original roadbed.
The locomotive, which was built by
Richard Trevithick, and was given it's
trial trip in 1903, the very year of the
Louisiana transfer, is valuable to the
antiquary and the man who is inter-
ested in tracing the evolution of
things 1t is & clumsy machine with
great piston-rods in front. These cause
the revolutions of big wheel with
deep seated ecceatric-crank attach
4nent. At the other side Of the engine
is a small cog-wheel that is connected
with the big fly wheel This small
cog-wheel works in the cogs of a
larger one which in turn works in the
cogs of two Of the wheels on which the
engine runs.
When we consider that the power
developed in the steam chest had to
pass through three wheels before it
reached the part of the machine to
which it had to be applied, we are
not surprised that Mr.. Trevithick con-
sidered he was doing well to run five
miles an hour.
The engine in the exhibit is only
a wooden model; but the little fiat car
with it's load of logs is theactual car
on which the inventor made his maid
EN- trip, more than 100 years ago. This
time the engine drew five tons two
miles and back
A few days later the new engine
performed more wonderful task 1t
drew five cars which were called
tram wagons" a distance of nine
miles in four hours. This time it had
a real load, for the cars carried 10
tons of iron and 70 people. On that
trip it consumed 200 pounds of coal
and the water in the boiler did not
have to be replenished until the end
of the journey.
The road, 10 miles long, was built
from Morlais Castle. South Wales,
where tn, was an abundant supply
of limestone, to Plymouth, where the
furnaces were located. 1t bore the
name of Merthyr Tramway and was
in constant use in Wales for many
years Indeed the old rails remained
in place until 1890, when a thoroughly
modern railroad was surveyed through
that part of the country. Then the
quaint little cars and the rusty old
rails became part of the museum.
