Fasting In Japan,

From time out Of mind, says the ia
pan Times, certain devotees Of that
country have visited a celebrated tenn
pie at Marta twice a year to perform
the pious act of fasting within its sa-
cred precincts. A fasting hall" has
been specially erected for their accom-
mediation. Observations kept on 226
men and 80 women who tasted showed
that Of the whole number SO tasted less
than 9 week, 174 tasted one week, 10
continued fasting two weeks, IA tasted
three weeks, and one went without
food for five weeks. Inquiry as to the
motives Of the fasters showed that 1859
men and Is women desired to rise In
the world, 10 men and 2 women want
ed to increase their business profits, 16
men prayed for the safety of their fam
lilies, 13 men and women sought cures
Of diseases and 10 men wanted general
good luck. Only three persons, two
men and one woman, tasted in graft
tpde for the fulfllment of former pray
ers. at need scarcely be said,''' re
marks the Japan Times, that the peri
% OF their fasting was the shortest

Odd Contrasts IN Climate.

Odd Contrasts In Climate. Is
New York is usually thought Of as
being directly west from London. ii
Is, however, despite its far more rigor-
GUS climate, 900 miles nearer the equa.
tor than Is the British capital. The
bleak coast of Labrador Is directly
west Of London. The same line passes
the southern part OF Hudson bay and
Lake Winnipeg. On the other side Of
the continent 1t touches the southern
extremity OF Alaska and continues
through the center Of the isthnus Of
Kamchatka and Siberia and Russia to
Homburg.
It ts astonishing, too, to reflect on
the fact that Montreal, with its win
tiers Of extraordinary severity, is $50
miles nearer the equator than Is Lon
don. Montreal, indeed, is on the same
degree Of latitude as Venice.
Another illustration Of the unexpect.
ed In contrasts is found In compare
son Of st. Johns, Newfoundland. with
Paris. Paris has a winter Of compare.
tive mildness, while st. Johns is a re.
gion OF bitter cold and fogs, with drift.
ing icebergs along its coast. Yet st.
Johns Is 100 miles nearer the equator.

Snowfall Showers.


More than one explorer in cold cll-
mates has noted the curious phenome-
non Of SNOWFALL shower The balls,
It Is true. are not very big, the aver
age being about the size Of hens
egg, but they, are true snowballs for
al that--compressed globes Of snow,
not little Jumps Of ice or. hail. A fall
Of the kind occurred in north London
In March, 1859, and at the time it was
observed that the balls seemed Eve
times as dense and compressed as ordi.

from the usual handmade missiles.
They had fallen during the night and
We're strewn many layers thick over
a very large area. No cause except a
doubtful electrical one-can be as
cribed for the strange phenomenon,
and meuntaineers are apt to discredit
the stories Of SNOWFALL showers told

the midst of an ordinary storm they
find themselves assailed as though by
myriads Of mischievous schoolboys-

A COURSE OF OK.
Try II as an Antidote For the Ills Of
the Strenuous Life.

Try II as an Antidote For the Ills Of
5s the Strenuous Life.
In the choice Of motor power allow
me to suggest the OK The horse leans
forward to pull and even helps himself
along by bobbfng his head. He jerks a
load out Of q hard place by plunging
bodily against the collar, stopping and
lunging again. He strains through q:
hard plaza and then starts suddenly
forward at his release. He works him
self into a iather, and you, If you are
the right kind Of person, cannot help
feeling for him and assisting him with
inward stress and strain.
The OK does not bob horn. He sim
ply Journeys, and the load goes along
When he comes to a tough place his
pasterns do not bend down, he does not
squat to pull, he does not pinch along
on the toes of his shoes, he seldom
blows, and he does not know how to
sweat. He does not exert himself at a
patch Of woven soil and then hurry up
when he Is past 1t. The chain becomes
sitter, and the yoke sits solder to his
neck, and that Is all. There is no sign
Of effort. The earth may grit its teeth
and crunch as 1t swallows the pillow, but
the OK stalks on his way With the
share deep or shallow or lifted entirely
end hanging from the axle, whether
he Is blowing earth or air, 1t makes no
difference to him. His most ponderous
task is still himself, and he heeds no
incidentals. 5l..s q.
He Is out for a stroll. He does not
allow work to interfere with the even
tenor Of his way. His tendons are rig
ged to his outstanding rump bones like
SO much spar and tackle, and he goes
along by interior leverage. Inside his
old woman hulk is the necessary en-
CINE work, and he will neither go slow
er for this thing nor faster for that.
There Is much about him besides his
disposition that Is self contained. BE
Is the antithesis Of the automobile. To
ride on his back is cure for indiges:
ton; to ride behind him is a rest for
the mind. A course Of OK is an antidote
for the Ills Of the times. Charles D.

A BRIER PIPE.

Get One That Is Smooth lnside the
Bowl, Says . Smoker.
a collegfan who prides himself on
the sweetness and color Of his brier
wood pipes and pretends to know q lot
more about them than any ordinary
smoker spent half an hour in a tobacco
shop making an addition to his already
large collection. a. 5'#s
Some pipes he discarded because Of
the grain in the wood. There was too
much stripe or too much birdseye, he
remarked. When he found one which
suited him he put it aside until he had
gathered three or four which appar-
emily were all right, and then came his
final test to pick out the best Of them
all.
He held each with the bowl toward
the light, then slowly rubbed his little
finger inside. Two he discarded, then
repeated the operation with the others
until only one remained out Of the dis
card. That one he bought.
Want lem smooth inside" he ex-
planned. "a brier pipe roughly fin

gift; wouldn't take the trouble to try to
break it in. for it will never be any
good. It won't cake up right, and it'll
never be nice and sweet. ~
five got a theory that when the in
side of the bowl is rough all the little
edges and points of wood char and
burn the first time you smoke 1t. and a
burnt pipe is no good. That's why ]
always take q pipe that has bowl as
smooth on the inside as on the cut.
Then It doesn't char, but cakes up
evenly. and gets good in little time.
Maybe the theory is wrong, but 1t has
worked out, well in my own experience,
and some of my friends who have tried
1t agree with New York Sun.
