MAKE A GREAT KICK
ABOUT THE BILL
Negro Members of Societies En-
ter a Protest.

In Americas as elsewhere the mem
bers of the several dozen negro socie-
ties, fraternal and otherwise are very
much exercised over the McMichael
bill, which seeks to impose a heavy
tax upon these orders. They argue
that the negroes of the state are
very greatly helped and benefited by
these orders, that they are made
morally better by being members of
them, and that they encourage the
members to work when they are able
to do so, and that they do not coun-
tenance idleness or thriftlessness.
They say the orders do all they can
for the moral uplift and general well
fare of their members.

QUEER SIDE OF JAPAN.
Odd Faith Exhibited in the Mikado's
Domains.

In Japan the lower orders of life
not only make war and supply meat,
out evince other peculiarties that rem
DER them invaluable concomitants of
civilization. A few days ago num-
Der OF people were seen gazing intent
ly toward the upper limbs of large
pine tree. Stopping to learn the Sc.
cret OF this unusual interest, man
was observed descending the tree,
while crow was furiously cawing and
beating about his head; then 1t was
seen that the trespasser had possessed
hlmseli of one of her brood, ali unpre-
possessing little chick that no one
could be imagined to fancy for pet.
Asked what he intended doing with
the young crow, he replied that it
made excellent medicine for the
blood: "Chi-no-michi-no kusuri," to
use his exact words. To insure the
eihcGHy of the medicine, he explained,
the bird must be taken before it leaves
the nest, if possible, or, If it has left
the nest, before it gets to where il
can drink water; for, he asserted, If
1t has of itself taken water, it loses
all virtue as a blood-cure. The pro
cess of preparing the remedy is, first,
to Kill the crow and, without cleaning
1t, to encase the body in an alright
covering of cement or clay. The
mould is then baked for two or three
days in a hot fire When the clay
crust is removed, naturally the crow
will be found to he black, lump of
pure charcoal. This is pulverized and
converted into pills of the pink" or.
der which are very popular here as a
blood regulator. He reminded his in
terlocutors that the medicine was very
rare because of the difficulty of find.
ing a crow that had not taken water
The man was perfectly sincere, and
appeared extremely proud of his sue
cess in having secured the bird. He
was reluctant TO leave the tree lest
there should be another one on the
ground somewhere.

in the neighborhood Of Chang-te-fu.
He describes them as a repetition Of
the performance OF 1905-a set piece
carefully prepared long beforehand by
number of Japanese advisers. Tho
inefficiency Of the officers is still con-
spicuous and the field training OF the
men inadequate, but the material is
good. DR.. Morrison hints that with

been little better than a rabSle.

The difference in cost between a
poor toilet soap and a good toilet
soap such as Buchans soap, is a cent
or two per week. The difference in
results, though, cannot be measured
in money. The cheap soap made from
impure fat and powerful alkali, irri-
tates the skin and results in all kinds
of skin trouble. Buchan's Antisep-
tic Soap, however, is not only abso-
lutely pure and fine cleanser, but it
contains Phenol Absolut, an ideal an
