MoRoccANs USE LOVE CHARMS.
Queer Means Employed by Women to
Gain All ection.

Mrs. Mansel-P1eydell writes of the
curious charms used by the women OF
Morocco: Moorish women resort
much to charms to gain lovers or to
keep their affections when gained.
There is one charm which is seldom
known to fail. 1t consists Of shred
ding a small piece OF an undergarment
which the man has worn and, after
certain incantations have been said
over it, of rolling the particles into
the shape Of small ball. This is en-
bedded in a larger ball of clay and, aft
er being slightly dampened, it is kept
in a pot over the embers of live char
coal. l have been assured that as
soon as the heat penetrates the clay
the man, whoever he may be, will lay
aside whatever work he is doing at
the time and fly to the arms of the
woman who invokes the charms. AS
long as the ball is kept warm so long
will the heat of love burn in the
heart of the lover for that woman.
Another spell much resorted to is cast
by cutting off the tips of dOnkey's
ears, cooking them and mixing them
in the mans food. He then becomes
as foolish as p donkey with love for
the charmer who has provided his
unsavory repast."

"cHILDREN's DAY" WITH ANTS.
Youngsters Pretty Idea OF the Gather

Mamma, next Sunday is to be Chill
dren's day. Shall I have my new white
dress for that day? All the little girls
are to be dressed in white Yes,
Gertrude, 1 will promise you your
dress for that day" And shall I
have my dess, too?" asked two-year-
old Roy, the little sunbeam of the
family. ooh, you are only a little
bit Of boy, just the sunbeam Of our
nome. You don't go to Sunday school,
you know" Cant l so Children's
day, mamma? Can't 1 go, papa?"
well, why not, little sunbeam, l
should think you might, on this great
day for children" And so it was de-
cided that little Sunbeam" should go,
if he would promise not to get tired,
and also promise to be good boy"
1t was very pround little boy who
joined with the infant class, and
marched out into the main room, and
tried to join in with the singing. He
watched the other classes march in
two by two, and it made very great
impression on him. On the following
day he was playing in the grounds
which surrounded his home, when he
noticed what seemed to him to be
an army of ants, all going in the same
direction. He ran breathless to his
mother, calling: Mamma, come quick,
and see! 1t must be children's day

we're no developments throughout
Sunday or today in connection with
the Tatsu affair. In the meanwhile
Japan is undoubtedly preparing for
entualities. The entire decision in
the matter rests with Premier Saionji
and Foreign Minister Hayashi.
The Associated Press is informed
at the Japanese Foreign office that 1t
is presumed that Yuan Shi Kai will
require three or perhaps four days
consultation with the Viceroy of Can
ton in consideration of the entire mat
ter, consequently no decision may be
reached before March 10 or II.
II is believed that il is entirely i'm
probable that Japan will make any
effort to retake the Tatsu or send
warships to Canton waters. While

the naval base at Sasebo is extremely
active.
