FASTING In japan.

From time out of mind, says the ia
pan Times, certain devotees of that
country have visited celebrated tenn
pie at Martha twice year to perform
the pious act of fasting within it's sa-
cred precincts. A fasting half 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 week, ia 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 1869
men and % women desired to rise in
the world, 13 men and 2 women want
ed to increase their business profits, Is
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
tude for the fulfllment of former pray
ers. ut need scarcely be said," re-
marks the Japan Times, that the peri
cd of their fasting was the shortest"

Thread Used In Surcery.

Are you aware that the modern sur
geon employs in his work dozens of
different kinds of thread for sewing
up cuts and wounds? Among them
are kangaroo tendons horsehair, silk
and very fine silver wire. Many OF
these threads are intended to hold for
a certain number of days and then
naturally break saway. The short,
tough tendons taken from the kanga
roo, which are used for sewing severe
wounds, will hold for about four
weeks before they break away. Silk
thread will remain much longer, some
times six months, while the fine silver
wire is practically indestructible.
With the entire outfit a surgeon is
able to select a thread that will last
as long as the wound takes to heal
and will then disappear completely.
To accommodate this assortment of
threads special varieties Of needles are
required. Besides the needle craned
in different segments Of circle, sur
geons use needles shaped like spears,
javelins and bayonet points. = st.

Trophies of the Chase.

In the days when buffalo still roam
ed the plains of Kansas in countless
numbers a great many hunting parties
came over from Europe to have hand
in their slaughter. One party was COM
posed of a Frenchman named Auguste
Rouzand, the first husband of Christine
Nilsson, the prima donna, and an Eng
liShman, a Mr.. Blackmore. from Lon
don. They arrived at Dodge City one
day in the fall with carload of equip
ment, including every sort of delicacy
that the market afforded and several
large trunks full of bright new butcher
knives A detachment of the Sixth
cavalry from Fort Dodge was detailed
to accompany them, and probably no
command ever Jared better than that
one did. The Englishman shot few
buffalo, and the soldiers slaughtered
them by the hundreds But the French
man didn't kill one. Instead. as fast
as the animals were shot he would
take one of his brand new butcher
knives, plunge it into the slain animal
until 1t was smeared with blood, wrap
it carefully in tissue paper and put it
back in the trunk as a trophy of the
chase to exhibit when he got back to
Paris as proof of his mighty prowess
as a hunter. That was his idea of
sport. kansas City Star.

Parents Hairs and Heirs.

1t is possible to predict from the hair
Of parents the form Of their children's
hair. Two blue eyed, straight haired
parents will have only blue eyed,
straight haired children. Two Wavy
haired parents may have straight,
wavy or curly haired children, but the
chances of curly hair are slight. Two
curly haired parents may have chill
dren with either straight, waVy or
curly hair, but the proportion of curly
haired offspring will probably be large.
