tation of the women OF the mikado's
land, and are: following as closely. as
possible every detail of the makeup
affected by them.
:: Every store patronized by dressy
women has a. varied asso rtment of
Japanese fans, and if warm weather
ever gets a fair start, these are likely
to enjoy an unprecedented popularity
during the summer months. The JAP
anese parasol, or sunshade, to be
more accurate, seems also destined to
be the vogue, particularly at the sum-
mer resorts. Atlantic City's famous
board walk sees many of the varied
colored combinations of bamboo frame
and silk cover, and they add final
touch of piquancy to- the, makeup of
the combined American and Japanese
creation.
In only one particular it is a Ger.
tainty that there will be no imitation.
American women will certainly not
follow the shoe styles Of the Orient.
There is nothing beautiful about the

Has Seen MANY Lands and Races.

Probably nobody in the government
service has had so many interesting
and unusual experiences as have fall
en- to the lot within the past year of
Prof. Frank N. Meyer, explorer for
the agricultural department. He has
just completed remarkable tour of
China, Korea and Alaska in search of
plants, flowers and cereals. In. the
prosecution of his work he penetrated
remote and mysterious parts of those
lands which it is believed were never
before visited by a white man. He has
brought back to Washington speci-
mems of plants, flowers and cereals
that are new to the agricultural de-
partment and IS now preparing an
elaborate report that will include
some of his more novel experiences
while travelling.

White House Fun and JoIlItv,


The evening visitors who sit about
the camp fire" in the presidents IL
brary do not have altogether silent
time of it, says correspondent.
There is their own conversation and
that of their host, and there is the
occasional reminder that the younger
Roosevelts are not far off. It's a good
healthy noise that comes from the
hall on occasion, and the fact that it
is made by two or three boys and
dog or two having the time Of, their
lives in the big hallway without
makes it, in one sense at least, ap-
pealing. The presidents children are
like the children of other sensible
American parents. They are allowed
to make all the noise that they care
to, provided it doesn't interfere with
the comfort Of Others No visitor is
worried by it, for it quits early. The
youngsters of the executive mansion
go to bed early and get up early, but
they do have time of it while they
are awake, and their father says it is
a good thing.

New in Gastronomic Line.

Epicures experience much difficulty
in finding new dishes, but it took a
Virginia negro in a Washington cafe
the other day to introduce a distinct
novelty in the gastronomic line. A
belated and tired traveller got off a
train at the Pennsylvania depot and
headed for an eating place which some
chance acquaintance in the smoker
suggested. Seating himself at the
table he was handed a menu card by
an obsequious server of viands. On
account of the dearth Of walters, due
to the exit of many for seaside and
mountain resorts, the management
was put to the necessity of employing
the negro referred to, who was not
overburdened with either experience
or intelligence. "As a matter of fact,
said the traveller, in relating his ex-
perience, ''the man only knew one
dish on the card. After finishing up
a hasty meal of steak, fried potatoes
and coffee, I asked him what else he
had that was good, meaning dessert.
We've got some fine orang- outang
pie was the response. Just as a
flyer I told him to get me some, hay
ing considerable misgivings as to what
he would bring. A great uproar went
up when he set before me a piece of
meringue pie. The fun was worth
the enlarged tip I handed him, but
when I got home it's orang-outang pie

DIRECT TO THE SECRETARY.
man:of-War''s Man Takes Complaint to
Head Of Bureau.

1T is very seldom, remarked an Of
fetal Of the navy department, that
the secretary of the navy receives a
call from man-of-war's man, but Sec
rotary Metcalf had that experience
recently. 1t was during business
hours at the department. A young
bluejacket very much excited and ap-
parently in trouble appeared in the
secretary's anter-room and asked
Private Secretary Clark it. he couldn't
have a private interview with the Sec
rotary on important business. Secre-
tary Metcalf happened to be olsen
gagged at the time and he said he
would see the man. The sailor went
into the secretary's private Office and
told yarn of trouble. It seems that
he is attached to Farragut's old flag
ship Hartford, now used by the mid
shipmen at Annapolis as practice
ship, and that he had walked from
Annapolis to Washington, distance
of about 40 miles, in order to lay his
grievance before the head of the naval
establishment. According to his story
the bluejacket was sick and couldn't
get proper food on his ship. He said
that the doctors had put him on a
light diet, but that he was given moth
Ing but regulation food, which was
too coarse for his delicate digestion,
and made him sick. The man was in
pretty bad shape, but whether it was
due to improper food or simply the
result Of his long tramp from Annapo-
lis it was hard to TELL Anyhow his
tale excited Secretary Metcalf's SYM
pathy and at his suggestion the man
was sent to the local naval hospital
for treatment and observation, in ad~
dition to which the secretary said he
would investigate his complaint of i'm
proper treatment on the Hartford.
The case is unusual,in that the sailor
man was able to present his case to
the head of the navy in person"

PREACHING TO THE ZULUs.
Difficult Task to Teach Them the
Meaning of "God."

In the words of Rev. C. w. Kilbon,
the true missionary aims to repeat the
saying of his Master, 1.-THE words
which thou gavest me I have given
unto Them He may preach and ex-
plain, but the people must be able to
search for themselves. Ultimately he
must leave the Bible in the language
Of the people to whom he has been
sent as the foundation upon which his
work must rest. Strongly convinced
of this, the Bible society working in
Natal, South Africa, began the transla-
ton of the New Testament into Zulu.
1t was almost task of despair The
mental capacity of the Zulus was of
tn lowest order and. they had practi-
cally no terms to express spiritual
truths. There was no proper word
for God" and of course none for such
abstract terms as ''faith," holiness
worship" conscience" honesty"
etc. A spiritual vocabulary had to be
created and existing words applied to
material things had gradually to be
twisted around with an ingenuity tru-
ly amazing
But at last the Zulus possessed a
complete Zulu Bible in one volume,
which was available for the millions
of African savages who ranged from
the borders Of Cape Colony on the
south to the shores Of Lake Nyassa on
the north, and from the Indian
ocean on the east to the western bor-
ders of the Transvaal and into Rhode
STA on the west-Circle Magazine.

1t needs only a glance at the cos
tune Uncle Sans daughters are
wearing now to make a discovery.
Orient for fashions. Paris used to be
the Mecca, and it was in the gay
French capital that all the ideas for
fashions were suggested, but now Nip
pom supplies the thoughts la mode.
Modistes attribute the beginning
of the craze for Japanese fashions to
the vogue of the Japanese play. Dur
ing the reign of such works as "The
Mikado," the Little Tycoon Darling
of the Gods" "Fantana" and Madame
Butterfly" in both dramatic and ope-
ratio forms the American women
made the discovery that there were in
finite possibilities Of graceful and ar
tistic combination in the soft, clinging,
graceful dresses Of the Orient.
First she adopted the kimono, but
for house wear only. This charming
ly feminine form of gown made an i'm
mense hit, and is now the vogue all
over the United States, thousands be-
ing sold yearly.
The kimono started the fad. Its de-
velopments have carried feminine Co.'S
tuning to point where the up-to-date
and we'll dressed American woman
could be suddenly transported from
the matinee in her home city to the
streets of Toxic or Nagasaki without
feeling painfully out of place as far
as appearance went.
After the kimono the most radical
development toward Oriental costum-
ing was the kimono sleeve, which
forms a feature of nearly all this
years swagger costumes. There is as
much material in this kind of sleeve
as in the balloon sleeve Of another Pc
riod, but it is much more gracefully
distributed and presents far more
artistic picture. The designer who
first conceived the idea of taking
from the kimono, essentially gar
ment for home wear, the loose sleeve,
and applying it to outdoor gowns,
made a hit that should have reaped
liberal returns.
The surplice front presents another
feature of the kimono in gowns for
outdoor wear In this costume the
front of the dress fits loosely across
the throat, apparently without any
particular effort to fit, yet the whole
effect is graceful to degree and
welcome relief from the high collars
and stiff throat effects of gowns of
other years.
Advocates of physical culture can
have no quarrel with the tendency to-
ward things Japanese, for above all
else the costume of the daughter of
Nippon makes for comfort She does
not cramp her feet into small shoes as
do her sisters, not only of China but
of many other countries thousands of
miles nearer the setting sun. Tight
lacing is an experience she has sedu-
ously avoided;so are high collars and
a host of other atrocities that in the
name of the Goddess Fashion have
been allowed for centuries to work
damage to the health and beauty of
women of Europe and of the new
world.
The tiny little Japanese maiden may
be ingenious and apparently not very
worldly wise, but she has had suf1i-
cient intellect to avoid falling into the
errors that have been menace to the
health of her sister in the West
Not merely in cut, but in material
as we'll, do the new fashions follow
the Japanese models.
Silks and pongees and woven goods
with Japanese characters worked
through them are the favored fabrics
