A PIECE OF STRING.
Il Plays a Prominent Part In the LIE
of Japan.

W rays prominent Fart IN the Lire
Of Japan.
Writing from Japan. an American
says: You must come here to appre-
cfate some of the quaint customs and
usages which contact with other peo-
pies has not yet driven out. To read
about them gives you only poor idea,
For instance, did you ever know what
an important thing piece of string is
here? The children, workmen, oilers,
servants, all carry pieces of string for
use in case of emergency. With us the
emergency would arise only when q
parcel had to be done up, but the Jap
uses his piece of string as a first aid to
the injured, to repair rent in his
clothing, to fix broken down jinrik-
isha, to mend tools, to take measure
ment. and. in fact, the string Is his
universal tool chest. The queerest use
way of thinking, is when a police off
Ger arrests man, ties bit of string
about the arrested mans wrist and
then leads him by the loose end Of the
thin hempen fetter to the lookup. You
ask, why doesn't the Jap crook break
the string and find a gateway? He
could, but he would not That's where
his respect for the law comes in, and
the bit of string holds the man as Sc.
curely as though he were manacled by
our own humane chilled steel, nickel
plated and snap locked method. New

American Temperament and Art.

The majority Of the men and women
who gave American life its form and
direction were not the children Of an
artistic race. though they were the
heirs of great literature. They de-
scended from people who have never
pursued art as an end and whose first
instructive expression in meeting great
experiences has never been artistic,
but who have never divorced action
from vision nor failed in the long run
to match power in action with some
kind Of beauty in speech. From its
English ancestry the country has In
herited an ingrained and ineffaceable
tdealism Of nature, which enormous
tasks and hitherto incredible prosper
1ty have at times smothered and blight
ed, but never destroyed. From other
races have come richer temperament,
quicker sensibilities, craving for joy
and love Of beauty for it's own sake,
which have already immensely enrich
ed American art and are subsoiling
American life.-Hamilton Mabie in At

a Lazy Liver .

savage thing to beat weary or starved

In treating the tagging, torpid liver 1t Is
great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
Indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs OF digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.

Many Of the most beautiful pieces

A fine painter will light up each little
