He Was an EnaIishman.

Mr.. Rudyard Kipling has long since
declared against the Little Eiglish-
men," there is nothing insular about
him. Nevertheless there remains a
good deal that is English-in more
senses than Not long ago this
was made evident when, at a London
club. he encountered one of those III
fortunate beings who give their leisure
moments to a study of the Baconian
cipher.
Phis person engaged Mr.. Kipling in
talk: at any rate he engaged the novel
list in listening. For fully Is minutes
he poured forth his arguments. and. in
the end, wound up with:
Now, sir. | think even you cannot
doubt that it was Bacon who wrote the
plays of Shakespeare"
"Indeed?' replied Kipling, with ami
unaffected yawn. That may be, butt

No Roseate Postcard Without Its
Thorn Of Suggestion.

Harold's mother-we'll call him Har.
old-went abroad a month ago, leav.
ing Harold under the somewhat un.
substantial control of his elder sisters.
In spite of the itemized directions
with which even unto the moment of
final leave-taking she had not ceased
to lombard him, Harold's mother was
far from sure that her efforts would
have any lasting effect.
Her voyage was more or less dis
turbed by these doubts, but before
she landed on the other side she had
determined on a course of action. Like
all small boys, Harold is most Gov
etous of picture postcards and had
looked forward to a harvest from his

A poctor,s DISADVANTAGE

I'm one way" said a collector, at
is easier to get money from a doctor
than anybody else who is slow pay.
1t is more difficult for him to swear
that he hasn't been able to make any
collections himself since the first of
the year. A doctors reception room is
open to all possible patients. A col
lector with a grain of ingenuity can
find a way to worm out of the men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After an inter
view with three or four persons who
have paid spot cash for treatment and
who have told the collector they paid,
it takes a mighty nerve on the part of
the doctor to insist that he hasn't a
dollar to his name"

Women Fishermen.

On the coast of Holland, Belgium
and Northern France the fsherwomen
are a familiar sight, with their great
hand nets and quaint costumes. Many
of the towns have distinctive costumes
by which their women can be recog-
nized anywhere. Those of Mana-Kirke,
near Ostend. wear trousers and loose
blouses, while their heads and shout.
ders are covered by shawls. They
carry their nets into the sea and scoop
up vast quantities of shrimps and
prawns, with an occasional crab or
lobster and many small fish. They
often wade out till the water is up to
their necks, and they remain for hours
at a time in water above their knees.
rarely returning until their baskets
are full.

Socialism in Japan.

Socialism has no footing in this
country as yet. nor is there any indi-
cation that it will gain a footing in
the near future at all events. Prior to
the war with Russia a small coterie
OF men calling themselves socialists
argued vehemently against the open
Ing OF hostilities and published a
newspaper organ to propagate their
creed. But they soon dwindled into
i~nsignifcance, and although a period
ical OF so-called socialist views con-
tinues to be published it has no in
huence, nor does it serve any purpose,
apparently, except to furnish material
for occasional comment on the part of
amused readers.-Japanese Weekly

AFRAID TO EAT.
Girl Starving on Unsolicited Food.

Several years ago 1 was actually
starving" writes a Me. girl, yet dared
not eat for fear of the consequences.
Il had suffered from indigestion
from o~verwork, irregular meals and
improper food. until at last my stom-
ach became so weak 1 could eat
scarcely any food without great dis
tress.
Many kinds of food were tried, all
with the same d~iscouraging effects. 1
steadily lost health and strength until
l was but a wreck of my former self.
Having heard Of Grape-Nuts and
its great merits, I purchased a pack
age, but with little hope that it would
help mel was so discouraged.
Il found it not only appetizing but
that could eat it as | liked and that
1t satisfied the craving for food with
out causing distress, and If 1 may
use the expression, 1t filled the bill
For months Grape-Nuts was my
principal article of diet. I felt from
the very first that 1 had found the
right way to health and happiness,
and my anticipations were fully re-
allied.
with its continued use I regained
my usual health and strength. To-day
