baby will live to grow old. Until the
eleventh day of the eleventh month of the child s
life its head is kept closely shaved then another
festival is held and after this the childs head is
only shaved in spots until it is five years old.
Then the hair is allowed to grow all over the
head and as soon as it is long enough it is braid
ed, and sometimes pieces of brightcolored crepe
are braided in with it. There is different style
of hairdressing for nearly every age, you may
know almost exactly how old child is by looking
at its hair.
Boys and girls both wear a sort of dress called
limono, and the only difference is that the
girls kimonos are fuller than the boys and have
longer sleeves. Very likely you have seen a real
lilnono, but if you have not, then think of a
Japanese dolly's dress, and you will know what
sort of garment it is In cold weather both boys
and girls wear jackets and long full trousers, and
in very cold weather they wear thickly-wadded
kimonos. The little children have very narrow
BELTS but these are made wider as their wearers
grow older, so that sometimes they are foot
wide. The girls wear long sashes, with big but
ter1y bows, which are pinned to their shoulders.
The boys have smaller sashes.
The girls have prettily-arranged hair, and it is
never ruffled with hats, for they dispense with
hats and use parasols instead They also carry
large fiat fans; the boys have FANS too, but theirs
are made to fold.
Socks and clogs are worn by all, but the clogs
are never used in the house, only out of doors.
Japanese girls are often named after flowers,
and very popular name is Kku, or chrysanthe
mum. If you wanted to address a young lady
YOU would have to say, 30" before her name and

SCHOOL BEGINS EARLY IN JAPAN.
At seven o'clock on a summer morning if you
happened to be staying in little japanese vii,
laqe YOU would hear the school-bell changing, and
all along the streets you would see boys and girls
going to their lessons, which would keep them
busy until twelve O'Clock.
Among the children there would be no tiny
toddlers, as you would see in America, for in
Janan children do not go to school till they are
seven years old, and then they are not forced in
their studies but are Just allowed to learn as fast
as they can.
| Formerly the children used to sit on the floor,
resting on their heels, but nowadays they have
forms and desks, just we have. The little
Jans however, prefer sitting on the floor, and
they do so in their own homes.
Charts maps and blackboards are all found in
.Jananese schools, but many of their lessons are
very different from those taught in our schools.
Their writing, for instance, is not a bit like
ours. and much more difficult They use soft

1T is always unwise to allow patient to get
into the habit of inquiring what-the clinical ther-

in temperature may make nervous person very
uneasy, and thereby increase the fever consid

If possible, choose a room facing south or
southwest for sick person, provided it is quiet
and away from street noises A northern aspect
should be avoided. Do not allow the bed to face
the light, as this is tirng to both brain and eyes

POURS FLOOD OF lNVECT|VE
Unannounced Appears Before Le9isIat-
i've Investigating Committee.
[By Associated Pressl

Albany, N. Y, March 15.-An-
drew Hamilton turned ON his enc
mics before the insurance investigat-
ing committee this afternoon. He
broke the silence which he has main
tained, except for the statement
brought from Paris by John G. Mccall,
ever since his name was mentioned in
connection with the money paid to
him on account of his legislative work
for the New York Life and other in
surance companies.
1t would be difficult to exagerate the
sensation produced by his unexpected
appearance, by the speech which he
made and by the intensely dramatic
character of the whole episode. His
face flushed and voice trembling with
passion, his arms upraised and fists
clenched, Judge Hamilton poured a
flood of denunciation and invective
upon the trustees of the New York
Life Insurance company, several of
whom were present. He called them
'curs and traitors" and paid special at
tention to one unnamed, whom he
described as the .'pecksniff of three ad-

pension, who rotates through one ad-
ministration and another and thinks
that he is going to be an indispensable
member of yet another.

that the man who held the same re-
lation to Mr.. Beers that l did to Nc
Call could hold it for 13 years and not
know how the expenditures that were
made were to be, and were disbursed? 2"
YET" he added, 'such like him sit,
not judging me as peers, but judging
me as con4uerors, talking about 'yel-
low dogs"
The only name he mentioned was
that of the late President Mccall in
his reference to whom and to whose
death he displayed marked emotion.
He spoke of Mr.. Mccall as a victim,
as having been shouldered with the
blame, 'the only one, the dead man
killed, that they drove to his grave
and deserted" and declared that the
memory of this man had appealed to
him ito come down here and say
for him, and just word
for myself"
He declared unequivocally that
every payment to himself by the New
York Life was made with the know
ledge and approval of the trustees, es-
pecially of the finance and auditing
He pointed out that if there had
been anything the matter with his
vouchers for these payments it was

DOLAN STAYS OUT
Executive Board Approves Action of

District President.
[By Associated Press1

indianapolis, March 15.-The inter-
national executive board of the United
Mine workers of America at meeting
following the day session of the nation
al convention approved the action of
President Mitchell in ousting Patrick
Dolan from the presidency of District
5, western Pennsylvania.
The action came after heated ses-
sion in which Dolan's claims were
argued by himself and Uriah Belling-
ham, vice president of the district,
who was also ousted.
Dolan appealed the case on constitu-
tional grounds, mainstaining that all
the proceedings against him have been
contrary to the organic law of the
union. He declared that the delegates
to the district convention which sent
him to the first Indianapolis gathering
had no instructions to demand an in
crease in wages and no authority to
instruct their officers. He asserted
that when he voted with the operators
here he belieVd that he was "repre-
senting the real sentiment of the mine
workers of the Pittsburg district at
