Japanese Tea Party.

At Japanese tea party the guests
sit on cushions placed upon the floor
and the tea service consists of a tea
pot, cooling pot, teacups and hiba
chi to heat the water. The Japanese
do not agree with us in thinking thai
boiling water should be poured over
the tea, so when the water is boiled {
little OF it is placed in the cooler and
then poured over the tea, which is al
lowed to steep for few minutes Boil
ing water is then added and the cups
filled. Green tea is used, but no sugar
or cream is added.

TO CURE HABIT OF sLusHINa.
Open Air Exercise and compsnIonship
VIII Do IL.


The habit of blushing is almost In
variably cause OF great annoyance to
Its possessors. Very frequently it seri-
ousiy hampers them in the ordinary
affairs of life, for blushing is accom-
panied by confusion of mind, nervous
ness and llesitancy. The two main
points in The treatment of shyness,
which is the great cause of blushing,
are, first, open-air exercise, and, sec
ond, the society of others Open-air
exercise is good for all morbid disor-
ders, such as excessive shyness, while
the social life makes for self-control
and that SAVIOR faire we all seek to
attain; for the latter enables us to go
through life without betraying awk-
wardness and timidity Abnormally
sensitive people may find the cure a
lengthy one, but if they persevere the
very mental effort which is put forth
to accomplish the remedy will aid
them in acquiring control over their
tefl-tale blushes.-New Orleans Times

SECRET POLICE OF PARIS.
Four Branches of Organization, With
Varying Duties.

Varying Duties.
You cannot go anywhere in Paris
without meeting the secret police. al
though you would never recognize
them" observed a Briton familiar
with the French capital. There are
four divisions of these uniformed
crime detectors. The first division is
known as the Surety, the business of
which is to track down known crimf-
nails and capture them. They are dar-
ing, willy and resourcefuI fellows, and
1t is clever malefactor indeed who
can evade them. Another body of this
plain clothes police looks after the
tenants of lodging houses and hotels
They take note of all the arrivals and
departures, and gather statistics re-
garding the workmen In the factories,
the sick in hospitals and private
houses, and so forth. A third division
occupies itself with political plotters,
agitators and gamblers. At meetings
of seditious character they mingle
with the crowd, and Ito disarm sus-
picion) applaud as loudly as anybody,
and join in denunciations Of the gov
eminent. They appear in gambling
dens as gamblers themselves, and
they also keep quiet watch on the
regular police. The remaining divis-
ion consists of elegantly dressed per
sons who watch over the president
and protect him not only from assas-
sins, but also from bores and cranks. .

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is

The influence of women

of perfect physical health

civilization of the world

Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition because of
them even thrones have

stroyed.
What a disappointment.

room for Blue

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-According to a re-.
port, James d Lightbody, the star run
ner Of the University of Chicago, has
deserted that institution and entered
Yale.
A letter was received by one Of the
leading athletic co-eds at the University
of Chicago from Lightbody. which
brought the hint to the athletic manager
that .hc tow-headed runner might not
return. The letter ~as written Monday
and stated that Lishtbody would visit
Yale this week and If he was taken with
the place he might decide to remain
there
For the first time since he entered the
university year and a half ago Light
body is now eligible for athletic compe-
tition. This was given as reason by
some why Ligbtbodv would return.
Others who know the crack runner well
cited this fact as a reason why he
should leave. They claim this is also
the first time that Lightbody has been
able 70 get a clear record of dismissal
from the university. as the officials re-
fuse to grant a letter of dismissal to a
student under any disability.
Five more Maroon athletes were con-
ditioned this morning by the University

who were talking so cheerfully Of the
