For Women,n Hats.

In placing hats upon the hatrack in
the hall, especially those not constant
ly in use, they are put where they are
liable to get dusty and soiled. A hall
rack is really not suitable for women's
hats, as they continually fall of the
hooks. The hat case shown here would
certainly be useful for the purpose for

AS a means of physical culture jiu
jitsu is superior to most methods. II
gives a very fine all round develop
ment, and the popularity Of the Japa-
nese system is that the muscles never
become hard like those of an ordinary
athlete, but remain perfectly soft and
pliable to the touch and are apparently
coated with a layer Of fat, just as the
muscles of the Greek athletes were
said to have been in the days OF the
Olympian games.
When exhibitions Of jiu jitsu are
given by japanese players the ground
is always covered with a thick native
carpet, and when the men are thrown
they fall despite this protection with
resounding thuds.
Numerous Englishmen have acquired
this art, chief of whom are Apollo. the
well known strong man, and Mr.. Roger
NOVEL;, a celebrated amateur exponent
Of various systems Of self defense.
Value Of Pressure.
Pressure on muscles and ligaments
is the idea Of jiu jitsu, and detailed
knowledge Of the parts Of the human
body thus vulnerable is essential to ex-
pert practice Of the system. Then the
hand must be toughened by at least six
months exercise. so that with the edge
a blow may be struck TO break arm or
neck.
On the stomach all depends; then
comes training Of the heart and lungs
by deep breathing. which begins and
ends every lesson in jiu jitsu. Special
exercises OF the simplest nature deyel-
op the heart, lungs and arms, and the
lower half Of the body also receives
special attention.
Much Bathing.
Fasting, coplous drinking OF water
and hot water bathing are regular fea-
lures Of japanese life, and in winter
the japanese will jump out Of his hot
bath and roll in the snow. Nearly 900
public lighthouses in Tokyo. attest the
general cleanliness.
Extremes Of leanness and Of obesity
are rare, and the women are versed in
athletics as well as the men. Fresh air
Is sine qua non.

part is that which deals with the daily
habits Of the student of jiu jitsu.
Water, Rice and Fresh Air.
Twice a day he will bathe If he would
initiate his Japanese teacher. A gal
Ion OF pure water will be consumed
during the twenty-four hours, and he
will eat no meat. Rice comes first in
importance as an element Of diet. Next
come vegetables, fish and fruit, meat
being scarcely ever used. Fresh air
naturally is absolutely essential not
only 10 jlu jitsu. but TO good health and
vigor in Japan, as elsewhere, and a
special study is made Of the influence
Of deep breathing upon th ~ udents.
But what will surprise lost people
is that something most needed be
yond all these-eQuanimity Of temper
is essential. The reason OF this is that
there are too many tricks. which are
dangerous to life and limb, TO be in
trusted to a person whose passions
might overpower his judgment. Sew

carried TO extremes.
The Secret.
The secret Of jiu jitsu consists OF a
knowledge Of how to grasp an opponent
in such a manner that he must submit
TO be thrown or have the limb which
is grasped remorselessly broken. Once
this terrible japanese clutches his ad.
versary by the arm he must fall in the
direction the Japanese wishes or have
his limb broken.

EYE ON JAPAN.

The trip to the Philippines, on
which Secretary of War Taft
with distinguished party will
start about July l from San Fran
cisco, is not to be altogether a
pleasure jaunt. In fact, it has
become known in high circles that
the main object of Mr.. Taft's trip
is to familiarize himself with the
situation as it now exists, with the
view of making comprehensive
plans for the defense of our Ash
attic possessions. A high official
who knows of what he is speak
inc, makes the following state
ment in regard to the matter:
"WhIle this government does not
doubt in the least the good faith
and friendship of the japanese 1t
is realized that the present war
IN the Far East has knocked IN
the head all the old ideas about
the Eastern Asia situation. Cir
cunstances may arise when We
will have to defend the Philip
pines against Japan, China or
some other power. While they
are perhaps not so vulnerable as
they were when Dewey sailed into
Manila bay they are far from be-
ING in a defendable condition
against a powerful enemy. No
men realize this more fully than
do Secretary Taft, Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Chaffee, all OF
whom may be considered Philip
pine experts. They are none OF
them alarmistS, tut all realize
that now is the time to do this
work. The construction of eff
Gent land defenses in this day is
not a matter of a few weeks"
There is excellent authority fol
the statement that the general
staff of the army is now consider
ing plans of campaign for the pro-
lection Of the Philippine islands.
In all probability Japan figures
as the enemy in one set OF cam
paign plans and Germany in an
other. This, of course, does not
mean that the government looks
for far war with either of those
countries. 1t merely means that
the general staff does not propose
to be caught mapping, and is pre-
pairing for any emergency that
may arise.
