THE GEISHA GIRL.
II Takes Severe Training to Develop
This Japanese Artist.

There are many geisha training
schools in Japan, but the best of them
all is, think, the one in Kioto to
which l. with soms difficulty, gained
admittance. 1t is apparently delight
ful place, but II is Il place of unremit-
ting toll The girls are apprenticed to
these schools by their parents or guard
ians at the age oftentlmes of six
years, and for ten years at least they
are put through such course of train
ing as would break the spirits of girls
less Injured to unquestioning obedience
to authority. Their physical training
is of great Importance, of course, and
each little girl must go through such
exercises every day us will keep her
little body flexible as rubber, and after
that is finished she must devote her
time to tasks that far exceed in diff
Guilty any schoolgirl work imaginable
to one of us.
No woman of ordinary mind can pos
sibly become a successful geisha, be-
cause she must be able to acquire and
make use of every kind of worldly
knowledge which will lend to her con
versation viyacity and charm that
will lead men to seek her society. The
dancing and the music are the least
of geisha entertainment as it is un-
derstood by japanese. These are
merely an accompaniment to the feast
which is served by small apprentices,
such little girls, indeed, as met us at
the door of the wine red and iris pur-
pie tea house in Kioto, but after the
feast the men must be entertained by
interesting stories and bright repartee,
and in this the girls are trained rig
idly.-Eleanor Franklin in Leslie's

WHAT SHE PLAYED.
The Last Music That Theodore Thom-
ms Heard on Earth.

During the last Illness OF Theodore
Thomas, although he was not at any
tine unconscious or delirious, he hard
ly noticed the members of his family
as they came and went at the bedside
But one morning lie seemed to be bet
ter. n
He made little jokes with the doctors
White mountain home At II o'clock
BE seemed tired. The editor of his
autobiography says that lie sank into
n dreamy state, and then reused him
self to say to his wife in Il lingering,
ecstatic voice:
II have had beautiful vision-a
beautiful visionw
Then he drifted off into silence.
His wife thought he was tired and
went downstairs to luncheon, but chief
ly with the purpose Of leaving him to
rest. He had given her a chime Of
bells, to be used in summoning the
family to meals, and because of his
illness they had never been rung in the
house. Now, because he seemed so
much better, she played on them Il lit
tie bugle call that came into her head.
do you know what you have play
ed?" asked one of the family. Taps
the call that is sounded over the graves
of dead soldiers"
She rushed back to the bells and
played the call engraved on metal
plate above them. Afterward she
found that this was revcille, the sol
dier's signal to rise.
So 1t had CHANGED that the last mu-
sic Theodore Thomas heard on earth
had been symbolic of Gcath and the
resurrection Youths Companion.

A Startled Guest.

Nine. Patti took elaborate precau-
tions against burglars at Cralg-y-Nos,
her castle in Wales. \ guest there
who was spending a sleepless night
rose before dawn to open his bedroom
window. Immediately there was a
violent ringing of bells in different
parts Of the castle. The visitor made
his way downstairs, only to find him
self in imminent danger Of being lac
Grated by whole troop of snlpping

he had unwittingly set the diva's
patent burglar traps going, the dogs
being released from their chains by an
electric connection with the window.

How We Catch Cold.

The rationale of the causation of the
ordinary cold" is pretty well under
stood at the present day, and it is gen.
orally conceded that when circulatory
disturbances or vital depression is
produced as the result of localized or
general chilling of the body surface
newly entered or already present path
ogenic bacteria are enabled to attack
the body with very good chances of
success. At such times it is said that
the powers of resistance are below
par, and consequently the bacteria
gain an easy victory. This point was
illustrated in telling fashion by
Durck, who found that rabbits infect
ed with pneumococci developed pneu-
monia if they were subjected to severe
cold, whereas unchilled control ami
mails survived.-Medical Record.

DO WE TALK TOO MUCH?
A PIen For Enough silence to En-
able Us to Think.


In the United States we are prone
to talk too much We do not sufii-
ciently appreciate the value and beauty
of silence.
During the after business hours, at
the lunch and dinner table we talk on
and on without ceasing, as though
there was nothing worth thinking
about. We invented the first talking
machine, and no American is consid-
cred properly equipped unless he can
talk ut all times and upon all sub
jects.
Information must be impaired and
ideas exchanged; II Is essential to men-
tai companionship and develops our
faculties of expression. But there is
no ncce 3ity for the endless and eter-
nal talk in which so many of us in
dulgc.
There is a great force and value in
silence. 1t enables us to think. 1t
forms and expresses character The
great men of the world were relatively
silent men; they talked only when they
had something to say, and the greatest
of them said but very little.
We should study the beauty Of 81
lence and develop our thinking power
rather than our talking power.-Chi-
cago Journal.

CHURCH ALES.
An Old English Custom of Raising
Money For Church Use.

money fOr tnurcn use.
A curious light is thrown on ancient
church bazaars and charity balls by
certain records kept in some of the
churches in England. For instance, in
the records of Yateley church, which
date from 1913, are frequent references
to church ales," the object of which
was to get money for church expenses.
The feast was organized by the
church wardens, "who provided Il good
spread ut so much head, and credited
the profits to the church expenditure"
1t first appears as the church ale"
then as the "king's ale," then later as
'our banquet at Whitsuntide." 1t was
probably held in the church and went
on until 1913, the year after the civil
war broke out. when probably the
Puritans put an end to such festivities.
1t was popular evidently.
One entcrprising churchwarden has
left on record all the good things which
wG"e prepared for the Crondall
''church ale" in the year 1887. They
had Il band, brewed a quantity of ale,
and made profit of $40. As money
was then worth nearly ten times rs
much as now, the "church ale" may be
said to have brought in about $400,
which was just 100 per cent on the
outlay. The band was hired for four
days.

George Washington's head gardener
was from some European kingdom,
where he had worked in the royal
grounds. But coming to America he
left his wife behind. Homesckness
for his guide" woman's face soon be-
gan to prey on him, and Washington
noticed the anxious eye and dropping
spirits of his servant. Finally the man
went down to the river and declared
his intention of shipping to the old
country, when who should come up
and lean over the side of newly ar
rived vessel but his wife. The kind
hearted general had secretly sent for
the woman, and she fortunately sur
prised her loving husband in one of his
fits of dependency.

THE DAINTY WASP.
Apparatus with which He Makes
His Complicated Toilet.

"Wasps are exceedingly dainty in
grim, "and, in order th9t they may
crafty their instinct for nCGtncss to the
utmost, nature has provided them with
Il set of maryelously delicate combs
and brushes. If we look closely at the
wasp's legs we will find that each bears
on its outermost long joint two small,
movable spines. known as the apcal
spurs, and If we examine these with Il
magnifying glass each is seen TO be
provided with a row of fine teeth, 50
that the apparatus answers for coarse
and fine toothed comb.
''The tidying up process consists of
various perfectly definite steps, usually
taking place in a particular sequence.
First, it passes both front legs over the
face from above downward, and after
repeating this movement several times
draws them through the jaws. This is
to remove any foreign substance which
may have collected on them. The legs
are then passed backward from the
forehead, much as we should smooth
back our hair. The wings are then
stroked again and again from the base
to the tip, although the most careful OBJ
server would fail to detect anything
upon them. The abdomen is next care
fully stroked from base to tip until
every hair points in the right direction
and a gloss as fine as satin is attained.
Last of all, each of the six legs, in turn,
is laboriously drawn between two of its
fellows, so the wasp is once more ready
to face its world"

Of myrtle branches in Germany; it is
made of orange blossoms in France
as well as our own country; in Italy
and the French cantons of Switzer-
land it is of white roses; in Spain the
flowers of which it is composed are
red roses and pinks; in the Islands Of
Greece vine leaves serve the purpose
and in Bohemia rosemary is employed.
In German Switzerland crown Of

coLoRED SKIN.
4 Theory That II IL nm Intermediary
Stage of Development.

The origin of colored skin, or white
either, is still unknown. If the sun is
really the active agent in It's evolution,
the power of sunlight must have been
curtailed when people took to wearing
clothes.
The slightest protection, ms seen in
the use Of ladies' wells, keeps the white
skin pure. Therefore, If there is any
protection afforded by natural dark
skin, an equivalent is obtained for
white people by the use of clothes. I'm
til white people begin to discard cloth
ing in the tropics their skin will re-
main white.
Sunburn must not be confounded
with augmentation of the skin. Sun
burn Is merely tanning of the epi-
dermal cells on the surface of the skin,
whereas pigmentation is caused by a
deposit of dark matter within the
deeper layers of the true skin
Summing the whole evidence up,
considering all arguments derived
from history, anthropology, ethnology
and general evolution, it seems to me
that the colored skin is an intermedi-
airy stage of development between our
prlmate ancestors and the pure white
or Caucasian skin. My general con
tention is that white skinned peoples
come from the oldest stocks of human
ity and that in the process of evolution
they became white by the use OF
clothes.-Dr. T. f. Macdonald. ,

THE SENSE OF TRAFFIC.
A Good Thing For Those In Crowded
Centers to Cultivate.

Ientcrs 10 tUlIiEUtc.
Every town dweller should cultivate
his sense of traffic" At first this
means that he will take every step in a
crowded thoroughfare with Il reasoned
consciousness. He will never think of
his business or his pleasure while he
is i'll the street, but only of the way in
which he is going, of what is before
him, of what is on either side of him
and of what he is leaving behind him.
At every crossing he will settle his
course. so to speak, and look out for
dangers from every point of the COM
pass. After very few weeks of this
careful self regulation he will develop
the sense of traffic" Without know
ing it he will see and hear and realize
all that moves about him. He will au-
tomatically avoid collision and it will
be as impossible for him to take step
at the wrong time as it was formerly
difficult for him to take it ut the right
one. He will at the same time pre-
serve his person and tighten the labors
of the policeman. Street accidents oc-
cur to those who have no sense Of
traffc."-London Lancet.

SOME SECRET INKS.
Writing That Remains Invisible I'm
til Exposed to Heat.

Letters written with solution of
gold, silver, copper, tin or mercury
dissolved in aqua forts, or, simpler
still, of iron or lead in vinegar, with
water added until the liquor does not
stain white paper, will remain in
visible for two or three months if kept
shut up in thc dark but on exposure
for some hours TO the open air will
gradually acquire color, or will do so
instantly Oh being held before the fire.
Each Of these solutions gives its own
peculiar color to the writing-gold,
deep violet; silver slate; lead and cop
per, brown, but all possess this COM
mon disadvanta%e-that in time they
eat away the paper leaving the let
ters in the form Of perfOrations. There
are vast number of other solutions
that become visible on exposure to
heat or on having II heated iron passed
over them, the explanation being that
the matter is readily burned to a sort
of charcoal, simplest among which we
may mention lemon juice or milk, but
the one that produces the best result
is made Ivy dssDlviNg scruple of sal

LIFE BUOY AND OAR.
How to Get Into the One and to Sup
port Yourself With the Other.

port Yourself With the Other.
Very few persons know how to get
into life buoy, and, as In this uncer-
may need to make use of buoy in
real earnest, a little practice might
prove of great value in an emergency.
Now, when the buoy is thrown into
the water the temptation is to try to
lift it over ones head and shoulders
or to dive through 1t. This, however,
is impossible. The correct thing is to
grasp the two sides of the buoy, with
fingers of the hands uppermost, lower
yourself under the buoy and come up
through the center, then rest your
arms upon the sides, and you will be
comfortably supported as long as it Is
necessary.
More often than otherwise, in case
of accident, life buoy Is not at hand.
In such event an oar may be used as
substitute. Now, there is some little
art in saving oneself by this means,
for an average sized scull is not buoy
ant enough to support person If
grasped as the first impulse would
direct.
There is only one way in which the
oar will support human being. 1t
must be ridden like hobby horse.
The haft is put between the legs and
the blade allowed to project above the
surface of the water in front of one.
BY this means the head is kept well
above the water.-Pearson's Maga-
