Worship of Teeth.

Teeth have been worshiped, and, in
fact. are venerated as relics in some
religious shrines. Buddha's tooth is
preserved in an Indian temple. The
Cingalese worship the tooth of mon
key. while an elephants and a shark S
tooth serve a similar purpose among
the Malabar islanders and the Tonga
islanders, respectively. The Siamese
were formerly the possessors of the
tooth of a sacred monkey, which they
valued highly. In war with the
Portuguese they lost the holy grinder,
along with much gold and precious
stones.

with those Of the calf.
The foal wnen a few days old can
gallop as fast as he ever can in after
life. He never leaves the dam and
takes nourishment in small quantities,
avoiding a full meal, which would i'm
pede swift escape. In tying down no
attempt is made at concealment, and
when he stands his head is held high.
These habits show that the animals

The calf, on the contrary, fills him

moist, wooded country, while the

Bargain Sales in Japan.

Even in placid Japan they have bar
gain sales, but they conduct them on
very different principles from the scrim-
images we have over here, says the Eng
lish Ladies Pictorial. An amusing
American woman has embodied her ex-
periences Of travelling alone in Japan
in most entertaining volume just pub
lished, whence may be gathered a de-
scription of sale at the greatest trad
ing house in Japan.
The goods are not flung about. They
are shown to advantage in locked cases
and the heads of departments keep the
keys. Remnants, however, are laid on
mats and though there is keen anxiety
to secure bargains, perfect order and
quiet prevail.
Babies toddle about quite conforta-
bly,; others sleep on their mothers
backs. However orderly and quiet
though the japanese bargain sale NAV
be, it is not free from the shoplifter and
it is interesting to hear that the detec-
tive is as necessary in the fowery land
as in England. The kimono sleeve is a
useful receptacle for unconsidered
trif1es.

blessing of a home in which all their

it's compensations, but it also exacts it's

The four recreation buildings for
workers on the Panama canal are to
have each a library of six hundred vol
umes. The books are to be of all kinds
and the fiction in the several libraries
is to be different, so that it can be
exchanged from one to the other. In
choosing it, the experience of a chap
lain in the Philippines might have been
useful to the commission. He had col
lected a few score books from friends
at home. and for fiction had selected
sturdy books of adventure, such as his
e tie heart told him would appeal to
brave soldiers. The books did not seem
to interest the men, and the chaplain
finally asked one of them about it. The
man shuffled and blushed, and said,

He fastened around the field and
came within full view Of the players.
Out in the field was a full team Of
negro girls, ranging in age from 10 to

white shirt waists, black stockings and
regulation baseball shoes. They were
equipped with every modern device for
capturing the frisky baseball. Stoop-

they encouraged the pitcher to put 'em

sprinted around for a home run while
the crowd cheered.
Before the visitor left he saw some
other samples of real ball playing.

BAR LONG NAILS IN FOOTBALL

princeton First University to Insist

Manicures will be as essential to the 1
new football as bonesetters were to the 4
old, for no match may now be enter \
ed into by any youth who has project \
ing finger nails, says the New York
Herald. If it should happen that he

himself of the services of a manicure

Some of the candidates for gridinn

stick.

your manicuring done? What do you

1t stands none the less written. No.

on his person will be permitted to play
in match. Penalty, suspension unless
the fault is corrected in two minutes
No football player who is particular
about how his finger nails look could
have them properly manicured in two
minutes, it is feared, but the length OF
the appendages is left to the discretion
of the umpire.
Several of the youths from Lawrence
preparatory school who are candidates
for the Princeton team this fall feel
deeply concerned, for the prevailing
style of football player is likely to IN
sist upon having his nails long and Ia
pering.

Now and then when there is a par
ticularly fragrant case Of wickedness
called to public attention advocates of
the whipping post come forward and
urge a return to this old time form of
punishment. The growth Of the hu-
manitarian spirit in connection with
criminology has been marked by the
abolition Of methods which once found
favor, and the whipping post long since
disappeared, except from a few places.
Delaware has been the conspicuous In
stance of a State which has retained it.
The experience of one Of the officers of
q State institution who has Just given
up his place is not favorable to the
effectiveness of the whipping post. He
reports that since November, 1901, he
has whipped 235 men, giving them from
five to sixty lashes each, according to
the nature of the offense. OF this num-
Der sixty had been whipped before,
some of them as many as six times. His
judgment is that this record does not
sustain the contentious of the advocates
of the whipping post as to It's certain
effectiveness in lessening crime. He
himself has become tired Of his job,
which one can easily imagine to be any
thing but a pleasant one, The tenden-
cy among those who are studying Grim
inaIs is strong to do away with harsh
and cruel methods and to appeal to the
better instincts of humanity in every
way possible. They have their faith
sorely tried on many occasions. Their
efforts often appear to be futile. Those
whom they would help abuse the kind
ness of their friends. Nevertheless there
Is a steady persistence in the belief in
the superiority of kindness to brutality.
The testimony of the Delaware whip
wielder goes to show that Delaware
ought to give up the whipping post. 1t
is strange that the State should take
pride in clinging to a brutal anachron-
ism.

Few men, even among the money
kings of bonanza days, have had a
more varied and wonderful experience
than William Nj. Stewart. The accu-
mutation and loss of two immense for
tunes and the winning of third at an
age when the great majority of men
are relegated to the retired list seem
but minor incidents in his wonderful
career. Among the roles he has filed
in his time, and the most of them with
marked success, have been those of
senator, lawyer, editor, orator, Yale
College man, Indian fighter, prospector,
speculator and scientific farmer.
He was born IN the State of New
York, lived while in Ohio, then went
to Yale to study law. When the cry
of Gold in California; was raised in
40 he came West, and, between the law
and ore mining, grew so opulent that
he became known as 1.-The Silver King"
But when he was elected Senator from
Nevada he plunged too deeply into the
eXtravagances of capital life, and at
the end of twelve years found himself
poor. But he did not despair. Again
dug it out of the earth in the form Of
precious ore, and soon found himself
again a millionaire. Power returned
with fortune, and in 1887 he was again
elected to the United States Senate.
For a time he was a greater power
in politics than before. He was at the
head Of that group of Republican dele
gates who withdrew from the st. Louis
convention in 1896 because the majori-
ty refused to agree to a bimetallism
plank and declared for the gold stand
ard. Stewart was an ardent silver man,
and the success of the gold standard
cause dealt him a hard blow. Unwise
speculation and other unremunerative
enterprises in a few years reduced him
once more to the lower financial level.
So, two years ago last March, his
term ended, he babe good-by to his
friends in the Senate and returned
once more to the scenes of his former
triumph to again wrest fortunes from
the rocks.
When he returned to Nevada the last
time it was known among his friends
that he was almost down and out"
financially. But he went to work with
the old-time cour re, and with his
knowledge of mines and mining, things
ere long began 70 come his away again.
He made several lucky strikes and in
vestments, and almost before a year
had elapsed he had made a good start
toward retrieving his fortunes. 1t is
believed that he is now worth at least
a quarter of a million, and possibly
much more. He has shelved his social
and political ambition, and declares
that this fortune-his third-will moi
20 like the others.
