PECULIAR "HEATHENIsM."
That Of the Japanese May Be Re
garded as Not Altogether
Objectionable.
Are tbe Japanese heathen?

Are the japanese heather?
Yes. In the minds Of many
persons they are linked up with
the people of Patagonia and 9th
er foreign lands.
But the Japs are a peculiar
kind of heather, says the San
Antonio Tex Gazette. One
could almost wish that America
could import some of their saw
age customs.
For instance, they have what
is known as the moral code. 1t
is not a Sunday or a parade az
fair. They do not forget it for
six days, and then brush the dust
off it when the minister comes to
dinner on Sunday. The code is
part of the national life, and
here it is:
Diligence is ones profession.
Love and loyalty between mas
ter and servants.
Decorum and prOpriety.
Calamity and bravery.
Truthfulness and justice.
Simplicity and frUgality.
Contempt and meanness.
The best thing in religion is
love, for it combines tenderness
charity, compassion, courtesy
decency, respect. 1t is a com
bination of all the virtues, and
the Japs have taken this best
thing and nodded it into theiI
lives until the people have be
come artists, lovers of the beau
tiful. They regard gardens az
their choicest possessions anC
believe that care for the aged il
a privilege instead of duty.
1t was the emperor of this
heather land who commanded
his soldiers TO not only fight va
liantly for their native land, bu
to love their enemies.
And the prisoners Of Japai

When Puvinp Boots.

1t is now generally accepted
theory that the human foot va
ries in the course of the "a hours.
On rising in the morning the foot
is at its smallest. During the
day it gradually increases in
size, reaching the limit at three
D. m. After this it remains the
same until we retire, when il
slowly decreases. Thus the best
time for buying boots or shoes is
in the middle of the afternoon
when our feet are at their larg

nlspAant,s Little Joke.

A-big circus elephant has held
ND q train at B elfast, Mich.
When the train stopped at the
station, the elephant, who was in
a. truck adjoining the engine,
fIIed his trunk with water from
the engine tank, and deluged the
driver and stoker, driving them
from the engine cab, and when
they tried to return he repeated
his tactics. A man on the plat.
form was enjoying the joke until
the~animal. turned his attention
/, to him and gave him a trunkful,
knocking him. of the platform,
whence he rolled down an EN-
bankment and received injuries
which terminated fatally. The
elephant remained master of the
situation until be had drained the
tank.

HIGH PRICES OF CHAIRS.
One Dozen Of Louis XIV. Days waa

The value of chairs is strictly
relative. Enormous prices have
been paid for chairs in recent
years, notably 100000 for a set
of half dozen Louis XIV.
chairs, upholstered in Gobelin
tapestry, which were originally
made for Marie Antoinette.
Even this price, states the Cleve,
land Plain Dealer, by the way,
was exceeded by the sums paid
for three Of the Hamilton palace
tables, one of which brought
$4,000.
A most valuable and historic
ally interesting suite of furni-
tnre is that which more than q
century ago was presented bX
Warren Hastings to TippOo Sa-
nib and which was purchased at
the LOndesborough sale for $5,-
600. The suite consists of red

A short time ago a romantic
story was told in the French pa

Algerian seaport town. The
widow was reputed to be rich,
but thorough search of her
rooms failed to disclose any of
her hoardings, and it was as
sumed by her relatives that she
had died practically penniless.
Not long after the sale of her
furniture, however, it was OBJ
served that the purchaser of the
chairs, Spanish stevedore
named Perez, ceased to work. be-

An Obi ct Lesson

The standpatters should keep their
eyes on Brother Taft, he is such a
''lttle American that he has ordered
the Panama Commission to buy 20.
600 barrels Of British cement instead
of patronizing the home made article,
produced by the cement trust. 1t is
true that he saved the government 81
cents a barrel, or S7.400, on this one
deal, which the trust loses over and
above fair profit and if he continues
this patriotic policy the trust, that
control the price of other articles used
at Panama, will lose in the same
proportion. The American consumer
of cement and other trust products
must buy on less favorable terms than
his own government as 'ong as the Re
publican politicians refuse to revise
the tariff that protects the trust and
the American people continue to elect
Republican congresses.
