An old timer who attended the lee

USE FEET AS HANDS.

A Custom Somewhat Common Among

hand, to Il far greater extent than is
generally supposed. He says that while
in Tokyo he saw IL young man sitting
in Il theater box GraSping the rail with
his feet just as though they were hands
ever and anon using his right foot to
scratch his left thigh. The fact that
the Japanese usually sit on their heels

extreme suppleness and mobility in
the feet and toes. and the prehensive
function is still further encouraged by
the fact that the Japanese who adhere
to the ancient customs wear forked

Chinese postnen navigate their boats
lying down. steering with their hands
and rowing with their feet. The oar
is held between the big toe and the
others. The natives frequently use
their feet to collect and to pick up
small objects lying on the ground and
sometimes even catch mice with their
toes. NJ. l.anneIongue holds that the

King James Version the Best of Ali Says Writer in Success
 Magazine.

We are just old-fashioned enough tc take no stock in the modernized Bible which is shortly to appear, "couched in everyday language, with obsolete words and phrases eliminated" The King James Bible has done more to preserve the good old Saxon words and style, which are the best English lit erature has produced, than anything else. Instead of a movement to get us further away from that vigorous, simple, classic style, and in the inter- est of establishing the finest literary ideals possible to a people destined to use the curious hybrid which the Eng fish language has become, it would be more sensible to frown upon all efforts to improve on the King James Bible
 It is the greatest treasure house, in spiration and teacher of good English that we possess.-Success Magazine.
